American Scandal King

Chapter 58 This woman ruined a good news
As the police car advanced, they soon arrived at a block.

A large number of police officers hid behind police cars and pointed their guns at a house.

At the window of the house, a young man pointed a pistol at his temple and shouted, "Don't come over here!"

His eyes were filled with tears.

The police officers stared at the young man nervously, and one officer yelled across the house, "Drop your gun!"

The young man just pointed the gun at his temple and said, "I don't want to live anymore."

boom!
Gunshots.

A policeman fired a shot at the young man, but fortunately missed, but it shocked everyone.

Ian: "..."

This scene is familiar.

Isn’t this the case of a young man who tried to commit suicide but was shot dead by the police?

It's just that the timing isn't right.

That's right, this world is different from the original world, otherwise Ian would be able to make a fortune just by relying on the advantage of rebirth.

Ian deftly took out the camera and pointed it outside.

Even in the United States, it would be good news if a police officer assisted a suicidal person to commit suicide. The only regret was that this would not be his exclusive story - Ian had already seen several of his colleagues doing the same.

At this moment, the blonde policewoman Catherine rushed out: "Don't shoot! What do you want to do? He wants to commit suicide, are you still going to shoot him?"

The other police officers looked at each other and shrugged.

A police officer said: "He is too excited and may shoot us. We must stop him."

"That's not a reason for you to shoot him. If you're not going to stop him, get out of here!" Catherine yelled.

The police had no choice but to lie down behind the car.

Seeing this, Ian and all the reporters yelled at the same time: "Fuck! This woman ruined a good news story!"

………………

All the reporters were outraged that the expected event did not happen.

Such good news, just gone like that!

Just at this moment, another car arrived from behind.

It's Leso.

He officially came to Los Angeles some time ago and has become a reporter under Ian, but he does not have the ability to obtain big news on his own.

Ian waved to him, called Leso over, and handed him the camera: "Follow me."

Leso smiled slightly: "I understand."

Ian turned and walked towards the house.

Scarlett called out, "Ian!"

Ian looked back at her and smiled, "Do you want to come? It's a bit dangerous."

Scarlett looked around and suddenly felt excited.

American girls all have a tendency to like excitement.

She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I want to come."

"Then come here, my little reporter." Ian laughed and took Scarlett with him and walked towards the house together.

Ian came to the house with Letho and Scarlett.

Seeing this, Catherine shouted, “Ian Karl, stop, what do you want to do?”

Ian spread his hands: "As you can see, what else can we do?"

Catherine was furious: "Do you want to kill that child?"

Ian smiled. "At least I don't have a gun. I think we're safer than you policemen."

Catherine was speechless.

Ian was already walking toward the house, his arms outstretched as he shouted, "I don't have a gun. Relax, kid."

The young man at the window kept wandering around, shouting, "I have a gun. If you come any closer, I'll kill you. I don't want to live anymore!"

He wailed as he spoke.

Ian walked over slowly: "Can you tell me why?"

"I'm done, I failed the exam." The young man said sadly. Just for this?
Ian smiled and nodded, then took a few steps closer. "That's terrible. As a student, your studies are the most important thing to you. Do you think you've let your parents down?"

The young man nodded sadly.

An angry roar came from behind: “What are you talking about? Ian Karl, leave him and let me do it!”

A police officer strode over and shouted to the young man, "Don't be sad, kid. Failing a test doesn't mean anything!"

The young man looked at the policeman: "Who are you?"

The officer said, "I'm a negotiator. I want to have a good chat with you, kid."

Ian shook his head: "I don't think the identity of a police officer is useful in this situation. You just shot him. Be careful, he might shoot you back."

The negotiator was furious: "Shut up!"

Unexpectedly, the young man shot the negotiation expert. The negotiation expert was shot in the leg and fell to the ground with a scream.

Scarlett was startled, but fortunately Ian hugged her in time and blocked her behind him.

So soft!

So tender!

Police officers in the distance shouted, "I told you that guy is dangerous. We should shoot him!"

Someone had pointed the gun at the young man again, but fortunately Ian and the others were blocking the way, so they couldn't find the shooting angle. Catherine even shouted at everyone to put down their guns.

Ian was also surprised.

He was surprised because he had a slight stinging sensation in his left eye just now.

But what did I just do?
I didn't do anything, why does it sting?

Especially since I didn't copy the ability of the negotiation expert and didn't get the fourth skill.

Wait, did I just say "be careful he shoots you"?

Ian said this mainly to increase the news's explosiveness. The event was fixed, and the host's performance was the amplifier of the news, but he didn't expect that the young man would actually shoot the other party.

Could it be that……

Ian held Scarlett in his arms, looked at the young man, and said, "Do you feel better now?"

The young man stared at Ian, pointing the gun at him: "Who are you?"

Ian shook his head slightly: "I'm not a policeman, please don't point a gun at me, okay?"

He looked at the young man intently, using his eyesight.

The next moment, his left eye felt painful again, but the young man actually put down the gun.

He refocused his gaze on his temple and sobbed, "I don't know what to do anymore."

A tear fell from Ian's left eye.

The corners of Ian's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt like laughing, but he tried hard to control it.

He said sadly, "I was once like you, but worse than you. My name is Ian Carr. Have you heard of this name?"

The young man was slightly stunned: "Ian Carr? I know you, the burning torch, and the hotel shooting."

Ian smiled and nodded. "Yes, I did it all. But do you know that when I was your age, I was even worse off than you? It wasn't just about failing exams; I never really studied. I was addicted to drinking, gambling, and promiscuity... I even nearly lost the Los Angeles Herald that my father left me."

The young man looked at him puzzledly: "Why don't you commit suicide?"

"I thought about it, but I got through it and made it to where I am now." Ian smiled: "Everyone has low points in life, like the person next to me..."

He pointed at Letho and said, "His condition is worse than yours. He is dying and has less than two years to live."

The young man looked at Ian and Leso in astonishment. Leso smiled and nodded: "It's a pity I didn't bring my medical records."

Ian continued to laugh and asked, "What's your name?"

"Bill." The young man said hesitantly.

"Okay, Bill, I can see you're a good kid. A kid who can face up to his or her own shortcomings is a promising kid. I'm betting the reputation of the Herald that you're going to be an outstanding young man! Very outstanding!"

"I just shot a policeman!" Bill replied.

Ian smiled. "That's not important. At least it's not more terrible than death. Are you willing to trust me? I can help you! Just give me the gun, okay?"

As Ian spoke, a faint light and shadow flashed from his left eye. The young man was stunned by the intense stinging sensation.

He held out the gun.
