American Scandal King

Chapter 110 Halle Berry (Part )

after an hour.

Ian understood the whole story.

In the living room, he smiled and put his arm around Helen Berry, placing her on his lap.

This made the veins on Halle Berry's forehead bulge slightly.

Then Ian laughed and said, "Regarding the incident with Miss Tillman, it was indeed my fault, and I deeply apologize for it. At that time, the Los Angeles Herald was about to go bankrupt, and we were struggling to make ends meet. You know, when people are desperate, they can do anything..."

Halle Berry sighed softly: "So you won't do this again?"

It was beyond her expectation.

Ian smiled and shook his head slightly: "No, I would still do it."

Halle Berry was stunned, and even Helen started to pout: "Ian!"

Ian Carr patted Helen's thigh, signaling her not to be anxious.

Then he looked at Halle Berry and said, "Mrs. Bennett, I'm a businessman. Businessmen have their own way of doing things! If you ask me for money for photos of certain celebrities or other illegal information, I won't do it again. That's too low-class. But as a journalist and the owner of a media group, getting news is something we must do. If one day I get some information and someone doesn't want me to release it, he will definitely have to show it!"

Ian's tone was firm, resolute, and full of strong confidence.

Halle Berry chuckled: "So what do you want?"

Ian spread his hands and said, "I've been wanting to do a celebrity interview lately, but I've contacted several major agencies, and they've all turned me down."

Halle Berry smiled: "I guess your offer must be very low."

Ian spread his hands and said, "I'm a small business and can't offer a high price."

WND’s size is indeed not that large.

Halle Berry immediately said, "Do you know that when a star gives an interview to a small media outlet, it's like lowering their own status?"

Ian: They can choose not to pay!
Some interviews are free, but the prerequisite is that you have enough influence!
Ian quickly responded, "If all the stars in Hollywood were willing to support me, WND would quickly become a big company, and that wouldn't be considered lowering my own status."

He said with a smile: "They can either accept my open interview or accept my secret interview!"

Halle Berry took a long breath and said, "You're threatening everyone."

"No, I'm suggesting they take a long-term view," Ian replied seriously. "Carl Media will become the largest media company in the United States, and WND will become the best news website in the country. Their joining will not damage their reputation, but will only demonstrate their extraordinary foresight!"

Halle Berry sneered, "Although I'm an actress, I meet at least hundreds of business owners every year. Do you know what people like you have in common?"

Ian said nothing.

Halle Berry said: "You are all good at bragging about your future."

Halle Berry knew how powerful Ian was now, but she instinctively didn't want to see Ian Carr's arrogance. That was a star's self-preservation instinct.

So she would rather believe that all this was Ian Karl's good luck!
Ian nodded: "Some people brag, some people make statements!"

He smiled slightly and said, "Do you need me to prove it to you?"

Halle Berry was stunned: "What are you talking about? How can you prove it?"

Ian didn't say anything, but took out the camera he always carried with him from the cabinet beside him and pointed it at the building opposite.

Ian patiently adjusted the focus and aperture, his movements focused and serious.

Halle Berry asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Ian whispered, "News is everywhere. It just takes a pair of eyes that are good at discovering it. Look across!"

Halle Berry and several other girls looked at the building opposite at the same time.

They didn't see anything and were wondering why, when they saw that the curtains in a window opposite were drawn, but for some reason they were not completely closed and part of it was still visible.

Through the exposed part, they saw a man in a raincoat holding a knife in the room and a woman's body lying on the ground.

Blood was all over the floor.

The woman was already dead, but the man was still unwilling to give up. He stabbed the knife into her throat again, actually trying to cut off her head.

"Oh my God!" all the girls cried out.

Barbara and Amanda, who were more timid, covered their eyes directly, while Jessica and Cressy stared at the scene intently. "Call the police!" Helen shouted.

Ian didn't stop it, but continued to film silently.

Halle Berry looked at Ian in shock. How did he know?

Did he arrange all this?
impossible?

This is not the way to show your power!

Ian guessed what she was thinking and smiled, "I'll hand the evidence over to the police, and that guy will be arrested. Then you'll know that this has nothing to do with me."

"Then how did you know that?" Halle Berry exclaimed.

Ian smiled and said, "I've already given you the answer... I have a pair of eyes that are good at seeing things. I saw it through the gap in the curtains while I was talking to you. Unfortunately, I was too late to save her."

This is the truth. Ian had indeed just discovered it and was too late to save people.

But others feel upset and regretful when they don’t have time to save people, but he feels fortunate that he doesn’t have to lose an opportunity to make a fortune because of his conscience. He has the mentality of “Fortunately, I’m too late and don’t have to struggle between conscience and interests”.

At this time, the man in the opposite room had completed the beheading. He put the woman's head in a handbag and obviously did not notice the open curtains. He took off his raincoat and walked out of the room.

At this time, Helen and the others had already made the call. After quickly stating what happened, they hung up. Helen looked into the room and her face changed: "He ran away!"

"Don't worry, he can't run away." Ian smiled calmly.

"Maybe we should stop him!" Jessica suddenly shouted, eager to try.

It wasn't a risk, but the girls believed in Ian's ability.

Ian laughed and said, "No, let him run. It's not news when the police catch a criminal, it's news when the criminal escapes. It would be even better if he gets hurt. Ah, that guy is really cunning, he even knows how to put on makeup! But that's good, this way the police will get here in time."

The girls were stunned.

Barbara raised her cute round face and said, "That guy has already left the room. How did you see that?"

"One must have observant eyes. There's an open door next door." Ian made up a lie and continued, "I guess he'll pass by those policemen. I hope so. That would be worth writing about..."

Ian chuckled softly and aimed the camera at the door downstairs.

The murderer had just finished putting on his makeup and left the room and arrived at the elevator door.

"Ian!" Cressy screamed. "How could you do this? Watch a criminal get away?"

Ian put his arm around Cressy's waist and said softly, "I didn't let him escape. I was just brewing a good story. Good news is like good wine; it takes time to ferment and even more so, it needs twists and turns to produce a chemical reaction... If those useless police can't catch that guy, I will catch him myself. Well, if you think about it, this video isn't suitable to be handed in right away."

With the photo, it's not difficult to find this guy.

He looked at Jessica, Amanda, and the others and said, "How about you catch the murderer? Five poor girls who just escaped from misery become heroes who caught a vicious murderer. The public will like this, and your fame will be further enhanced, which will be of great benefit to your development in the film and television industry."

All the girls got excited: "That's a great idea, Ian!"

Only Halle Berry cried out, "No, that's too risky!"

Helen hugged her aunt and said, "Don't worry, aunt, Ian is here, there won't be any danger. He is an invincible warrior who has taken down hundreds of gangs by himself! We just need to go in and pretend after he catches someone!"

In the girls' hearts, Ian has become equivalent to Superman.

Halle Berry stared at Ian in amazement.

Ian smiled. "I don't want to show off my skills to you. That would only make me look like a barbarian. I just want you to know my expertise. I hope you'll be satisfied with my performance today."

Halle Berry gasped.

terrible!

This guy is so scary.

Not only does he possess powerful skills and a keen ability to capture news, he also has a shameless heart and is ruthless and decisive enough to risk everything for the sake of news.

He could have alerted the police to catch the criminal, but he watched the criminal escape for the sake of big news, and in the process made himself a star and created news!
However, having seen so many successful businessmen, Halle Berry knows that this is precisely the quality that a successful person must have!

Ian's abilities and methods completely overturned Halle Berry's judgment of him - this is definitely a bastard worth investing in!
So she thought for a moment and said, "If you can catch the criminal without harming Helen, I might be able to help you find a solution for your Daily Star interview column. After all, I have many friends in the film and television industry. But you have to promise me that this kind of risky thing with Helen will only happen once, and it won't happen again!"

Ian grinned: "Deal!"
