American Gossip King

Chapter 302 My conscience feels much better

St. George Hospital.

Ian was exposing his body as he underwent a doctor's examination.

After the bank robbery, all the hostages were immediately taken to the hospital.

Of course, Ian Carl was different; he was sent separately to the best St. George Hospital, where he was personally "interrogated" by Catherine.

This is equivalent to not asking at all.

At that moment, the blonde doctor looked at Ian's muscular physique with envy, sticking out her tongue: "Your body is perfect, there are no problems at all. Of course, perhaps further full-body examinations will be needed."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on Ian's chest.

Ian glanced at the other person; he was certainly flirtatious enough, but his looks were just average.

He shook his head slightly: "Thank you, but it's just a formality, there's no need to go to such lengths."

He put on his clothes and left amidst the female doctor's regretful gaze.

As Ian stepped out of the hospital, he looked around. The daylight was perfect, and there were many pedestrians coming and going.

Catherine had already left, having completed his statement portion directly.

The matter has come to a temporary close at this point.

But it is also a new beginning.

Just as he was thinking this, Bridexson pulled up beside him in a black extended Lincoln.

Ian lit a cigar and got into the car, which then drove off.

In the back seat, Van Nistel handed him a laptop, which contained edited videos.

Ian glanced at it and nodded, saying, "You're good at editing, well done, no problems. But this time the subject must be content captured by bank surveillance cameras, so it can't seem like I was prepared."

Ian has retrieved all the surveillance footage, and he can use it however he wants now. As for the cameras installed before, they were mainly for Van Nistel's convenience—though there are always some less important clips that he can use.

After giving Van Nistel his instructions, Ian looked up and asked Brideson, "How's it going over there?"

Bledson replied, "Ilzer was with them, but as you predicted, those two had other ideas... they didn't go to the agreed location."

Ian chuckled softly. "It's normal to have other ideas about such a large sum of money. Tell Ambridge that his friend is courting death."

Bledsson gave a soft "hmm".

The car was driven to the police station first, and the procedures were repeated.

But there's not much to say.

Although I wasn't hooded, it's because I am Ian Carl!

Everything is perfectly natural. As for the specifics you asked about, I'm sorry, I don't know.

You asked why three people died? Of course, it was because of infighting among the robbers.

You can find the rest yourselves; I don't know.

After all that was over, Ian returned to Godwin Manor.

The car entered the manor and stopped in front of the gate.

Gal Gadot, Ekaterina, and Natasha all ran over.

The girls excitedly hugged Ian, their eyes filled with concern for him, while the butler stood by with a helpless, bitter smile.

Gal Gadot asked urgently, "We saw the news. They said you're being held hostage?"

Ian gently kissed Gal Gadot's beautiful face: "I'm sorry I couldn't be a hero this time."

Gal Gadot stared at him intently, saying, "I'm so glad you're alright."

Ekaterina and Natasha exchanged a glance, both sneering inwardly.

If others don't understand, don't we understand?

Wherever this guy is, there's nothing he won't get done.

He didn't make a big splash, which means he must have gotten some benefits in the shadows... I wouldn't be surprised if people said he planned the bank robbery.

Ian: I'm innocent! I really didn't plan it. I just went with the flow. The rest was my plan!

He then comforted the three of them all the way back to their room, and Ian took a shower first.

Back in the bedroom, I saw that all three girls were already in bed.

"Don't you need to wash?" Ian asked.

Gal Gadot, sticking out her little lilac tongue, said in a cute tone, "I've washed up, and I've been waiting for you."

Ian smiled and unbuttoned his pajamas: "I love your gentle and understanding nature."

As he spoke, he jumped onto the bed, and a burst of laughter erupted, a scene full of vibrant color and fragrance.

They were playing around when the phone rang.

Ian glanced at his phone and said helplessly, "It's Scarlett. Sorry, I have to take this."

"It doesn't matter," Natasha said with a smile as she leaned against him.

The Mirak bank robbery has drawn considerable attention, with numerous phone calls coming in to inquire about his well-being.

This turned a potentially erotic scene into a choppy pornographic film, requiring frequent pauses.

Kate's response was: "Why am I not at all surprised that this happened to you?"

Scarlett's response was: "You didn't take me with you! You didn't take me with you! You don't even include me in your news reports anymore, humph, I'm going to get angry."

Ivanka's statement was: "This is a great opportunity, Ian, to take over Miraak!"

Well done, girl, you really have a good business sense.

Jessica Alba and Helen Berry said, "You didn't have sex in the bank? You really don't live up to Ian Carr's reputation."

Even Britney called him.

Even though he's gone, her heart remains. She said softly, "I miss you, Ian! Life has no flavor without you."

Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Connelly, Megan Fox, Bernice Kraut, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Amy Adams, Halle Berry, and others also called to express their concern.

Lena didn't call because she already knew about it; Ian had specifically told her in advance to avoid worrying her.

Compared to this somewhat generic concern, Ian preferred Murdoch's phone calls.

He sounded surprised on the phone: "You didn't make a big splash? You didn't catch the robbers yourself? This isn't like you, Ian Carl."

Ian laughed heartily: "Ian Carl can fail too, can't he?"

Murdoch's tone was unequivocal: "As I know you, if you lose a story, it means you made a better deal with it, like the World Cup."

Fake!

Why is it that men understand me best?

So Ian said, "Yes, Mr. Murdoch."

Murdoch immediately understood and laughed loudly, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

Ian: "..."

The three girls didn't make any noise, so how did you manage to hear it?

After receiving calls from a group of friends including Ankang and Dubang, I finally had some peace and quiet.

The latest novel is first published here!

Look at the time, it's been two hours already.

Ian had to temporarily turn off his phone in order to complete today's release mission.

It was getting late, so Ian and the girls ate dinner in bed.

I casually turned on the TV while her arms were wrapped around me.

"This is LANN News. This morning, a robbery occurred at Mirac Bank..."

The news anchor delivered the news in an orderly manner.

Although the news had already come out by noon, news from LANN always has its own unique characteristics.

When those internal images were released, they quickly caused an uproar.

Ian Karl!

It is him again!

Sure enough, wherever there was trouble, he was there.

However, the focus of this news was clearly not on Ian Carl.

The news channel switched to broadcasting daytime interviews.

Chief Bellman spoke candidly to the camera: "This operation was initiated by our heroic female officer, Katherine Brown. After confirming the situation of the hostage-taker, she immediately planned the operation. Fortunately, the operation went smoothly, and we successfully rescued all the hostages without any casualties."

A LANN reporter on the scene immediately asked, "But we heard that four people still died?"

Chief Bellman replied sternly, "Yes, but the first one was killed by the robbers shortly after the robbery. Three others died in infighting among the robbers!"

"So, one of the robbers escaped?"

Chief Bellman looked slightly embarrassed: "We're not entirely sure right now. The kidnappers may have infiltrated the hostages, or they may have escaped through the explosion. They blew up a wall with explosives, but I personally don't think the last kidnapper was capable of leaving through that hole. We're currently investigating all the hostages in the hope of finding the last kidnapper."

"Director Bellman, what is the extent of the losses suffered by Mirak Bank?"

Bellman replied, "What we can confirm at this point is that the safes and vaults of Mirak Bank were opened, but a large amount of US dollar fragments were left at the scene, making the exact loss difficult to quantify. We are currently unsure whether all assets were destroyed in the explosion, but we will definitely investigate to the end!"

"Chief Bellman..."

Bellman pushed the other person away: "I've said all I can say, and I have nothing more to say."

Seeing this, Ian smiled.

........................

Los Angeles Police Department.

Bellman was also watching the TV news.

He shook his head slightly and sighed, "This isn't the right way to handle it. The public will be asking about the whereabouts of the last robbers and the remaining assets."

Sitting on the sofa opposite Bellman, Catherine casually crossed her legs.

She used to hate the work Ian assigned her, but people can easily adapt to new environments.

As the day went by, Catherine's mental adjustment was helping her adapt to the new situation.

She stopped thinking about whether all of this violated morality or her principles.

Since we've already started, we should do it well.

So she chuckled, "At least Ian Carr's million dollars was sweet; you made two million from it, Bellman. That's something you couldn't earn with the chief's salary. Even if you're discovered one day, you can still stay at the Davis Luxury Hotel!"

Bellman sighed. "But I don't understand, why does it have to be this way?"

Catherine chuckled. "You understand, you just don't want to admit it."

Bellman's expression changed slightly.

Catherine stated, "The last robber escaped using the explosion, and all the hostages are innocent. The robbers didn't manage to take all the assets, but they did take some, so the police don't need to fabricate anything; they can simply admit that not all the property was at the scene... The most fascinating thing about the world is lying with the facts."

"And then?" Bellman asked.

Catherine smiled slightly: "Of course, I get the truth from the news. Ian Carl didn't make any big news today!"

I knew it... I knew it...

"But those assets are gone," Bellman said.

Catherine shook her head: "It depends on what kind of assets. Some things are worthless outside, but they might have special significance to a certain family. They will be kept to make friends. Other things are just a pure monetary loss. They will be destroyed in the next explosion."

Bellman looked at Catherine with a deep gaze: "Tell me you weren't involved in this too much, Catherine."

Catherine thought for a moment and replied, "I am Ian Carr's woman. He is my god now, and he will be America's god in the future."

As she spoke, she stood up, put her arms around Bellman's neck, and gave him a light kiss on the forehead: "You are my teacher. You can run for city council next year. Ian will support you, just like he supported Belton."

Bellman sighed, "That sounds much better. My conscience feels better now."
