American Scandal King

Chapter 140 Gift
Because of the 917/ incident, Ian became a hero in the United States, which made him unable to return to Los Angeles for more than half a month. Instead, he continued to accept various interviews with Shauna, Daniel and others.

Of course, most of the reports were from CBS and WND. Ian refused interviews from all other TV networks, which made many famous news giants cry out that it was unfair.

But Ian doesn't care about them. I am a major shareholder of CBS, so I must give priority to CBS.

At the same time, as CBS continued to release information, its users and news traffic continued to soar, and its stock price continued to rise.

But for Ian, what is more important is that through this incident, he got to know many important people.

In the end, even US President George W. Bush met him once and awarded him a medal - the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This is the highest level of medal award that a U.S. citizen can receive.

It can be said that Ian reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted, at least in terms of fame.

The three major pursuits in life, in essence, are nothing more than power, wealth and fame.

Many people think that fame is just a false reputation, which is both right and wrong.

Because the reputation is well-deserved, a good reputation itself is wealth.

It’s just that people have different pursuits at different stages of life.

The poor pursue profit, the rich seek power, and the powerful seek fame!
Therefore, fame is not just a false name, it can even be the ultimate pursuit of mankind.

After all, when you have everything, when life cannot last forever, only reputation can last for thousands of years.

It's just the opposite here with Ian.

As a media person, what he possesses first is fame, then profit, and finally power.

Only when you have enough foundation can you further play the role of reputation.

In addition, the series of follow-up reports on this incident also caused Ian's right eye to surge again. Although it has not yet broken through, it has reached 10000 again.

The 917 incident is awesome. It’s like directly helping you increase your strength by one and a half levels.

In comparison, whose sex scandal could reach this level?

British royal family?

Not qualified!
Twenty days later, Ian finally got away from the busy interviews and returned to Los Angeles with Shawna and Daniel.

After returning to Los Angeles, Ian went to see his mother first.

Mrs. Carr was fine, just a little frightened.

After talking to his mother for a while and confirming that he was fine, Ian went to meet Gaskell and Lena.

Gaskell has recovered and has been officially discharged from the hospital.

The three of them met in the villa in Montecito. Lena happily threw herself into Ian's arms and gave him a passionate kiss.

She yelled, "I'm jealous, Ian, you've been with that little bitch for twenty-three days!"

Not just her!
And brought it back!

Ian carried Lena back to the room and said to Gaskell with a wry smile: "You have to take care of her."

Gaskell also gave him a hug: "Lena is very sober, you have to understand her, after all, she has been thinking about you all this time."

After putting Lena down, Ian and Gaskell sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Gaskell said, "You did a good job this time. I also made 50 million by shorting the airlines. According to our agreement, I should have given you half."

Ian was surprised.

originally?

Does that mean you don't want to give it to me?
Ian didn't think Gaskell would turn against him for tens of millions, so the question was what did he mean?
Gaskell smiled. "I can only give you 12.5 million now, and I'm going to deduct half. Do you accept that?"

Ian shrugged. "If you want, I have no problem with that. I just don't understand. I mean, I don't think our friendship can be destroyed by twelve million... What happened?"

Gaskell smiled and looked at his wife: "Lena, you go ahead."

Lian Na looked at Ian excitedly: "Remember I told you that I have a gift for you?"

Ian was puzzled: "What gift?"

Lian Na touched her belly gently: "I'm pregnant, it's your child."

Walter?

Ian jumped up with joy. He hugged Lian Na and asked, "Are you pregnant? Are you sure?"

Lian Na nodded seriously: "It's been two months. The doctor checked and it's a boy."

Ian hugged his head excitedly: "I have a son!"

He looked at Gaskell in surprise. The old man smiled and said, "He is my son, and your son as well. As a father, you need to leave some gifts for him, so I decided to withhold half as a gift for the child."

Ian laughed and shook his head. "No, no, Gaskell, I don't want it. I don't want a penny. It's all yours! It's all for our son!"

Ian was so excited at this moment.

I have a son!
He hugged Gaskell and kissed him madly on the forehead.

He said excitedly: "I am very grateful to you, Gaskell, you are so kind to me!"

Gaskell looked at Ian with a smile: "I am grateful to you too, but according to our agreement, the child's surname must be Bent!"

"Of course!" Ian shouted back, "He'll always call you dad! You're his first dad!"

"But after I die, he can call you father."

"I don't care about that. We can think about it later." Ian replied.

He sat next to Gaskell, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "I'm very happy about this, Gaskell. Can you understand my feelings? He is my son, and your son as well. He will inherit the Bent family in the future. The Carl family and the Bent family will thus become the closest connection... You are the person I trust most in this world besides my mother. It was like this before, and it will always be like this!"

As he said this, he put his arms around Gaskell's neck and smiled happily.

He is now very sure of one thing, that is, no matter who his future partner will be, the Bent family will always be the most important part of his life!
Because Lena was already two months pregnant, Ian didn't get too intimate with her.

They talked for a while, had dinner, and then Ian left.

He is now going to meet the guys who kidnapped his mother.

------

This is a dark little house.

The three kidnappers stood trembling in the room, facing Ian Carr, Kreps, and the Crips Gang's gold medal thug Hardak.

Ian smiled at them and said, "Sit down, guys. Don't be so nervous. You released my mother and didn't repeat the mistakes of the past. And I will keep my promise."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Now tell me your names, backgrounds, and addresses. I want to make a record for you." Ian waved his hand, and Haddak picked up the pen and paper with a wronged look.

He is good with a knife but not good with notes.

The leading gangster was stunned: "Why?"

Ian replied casually, "My original plan was to do an interview with you guys, but the kidnapper chose to give up because of Ian Carr's reputation. But then I realized that wasn't a good idea, so I changed my mind."

This piece of news could indeed be valuable because of Ian, but firstly, it involves his mother, which Ian does not want to happen, and secondly, it will cause a serious consequence: some people may not dare to deal with him because of this.

For Ian, without the supplement of gangster gossip, life would lack a lot of excitement and he would have fewer sources of news.

A good journalist will let the news come to you!

So Ian has decided that he will find some bodyguards for his mother, but not for himself.

This way, there should be some criminals who will continue to plot against me and bring the news to me - as long as those guys are not stupid enough to blow their heads off as soon as they come, then there won't be a big problem.

He looked at the three of them and said, "Of course, since I promised to give you benefits, I will fulfill my promise. You have two choices. One is that I give you 50,000 yuan each and then get out. The other is that I give you 10,000 yuan, but I may have work for you in the future. I will pay you for it, and the value will definitely be higher than 40,000 yuan."

"What kind of work?" asked a gangster.

Ian smiled faintly. "Of course it's your specialty: kidnapping, robbery, extortion...all the shady stuff. I need you to handle some big cases to enrich your resumes. Then I'll send you to prison and publish a book about you! You'll be more famous than Gan Lun and the others! You don't have to worry about being miserable in prison. It won't be long before I have my own private prison, and I'll let you live there so hard you won't want to leave. It'll be like a vacation!"

The three gangsters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time:

"That'll be easy."

"I thought you wanted us to sit in the office, but that won't do."

"But you're a hero?"

Ian nodded. "Of course, I'm a hero, so I didn't do those things. You did them! I, or a heroic female police officer from Los Angeles, will be the hero who catches you!"
