American Scandal King

Chapter 189 Birth and Death

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Major incident of violence and destruction at California Construction Site 1."

"The union launched an attack on the construction site because they were dissatisfied with the large number of Chinese workers employed by Meihe Construction."

"One hundred and thirty-two people were injured in this attack."

"We have to ask: Is the purpose of unions to protect the legitimate interests of workers, or are they violent organizations?"

"Mr. Jody Harry, Chairman of Meihe Construction, expressed his willingness to provide proper care for all injured employees. The great United States has no racial prejudice, let alone racial discrimination. We treat everyone equally."

"Ian Carr of the Carr Group expressed sadness over this incident and offered to donate $1.5 million to provide comfort to the injured."

"The damage caused is significant. Meihe Construction estimates losses of at least 50 million yuan."

"Los Angeles police announced they have arrested the instigator of this incident, American Construction Union leader Beckson, along with twelve other members of the organization. They are also considering filing charges of terrorism. Beckson could face at least ten years in prison!"

In the Karl Media office, Ian looked at the newspaper and sneered softly.

Good, now the troublemakers in the union have been dealt with.

Meihe Construction Company will still have a union in the future, but it is destined to be just a mascot.

The unions are not easy to deal with as they have a huge organizational system, but Ian is not worried.

If the American unions want to deal with him again and again, he doesn't mind sending them to jail again and again.

Sooner or later they will find out that the best choice for Ian Carr is to receive appropriate benefits and help him calm the workers' mood.

The unions are smart people too, they will understand after they suffer losses!

As I was watching this, the phone rang.

It's Gaskell's.

Ian took it: "It's me."

Gaskell said simply: "Lena is about to give birth, and I think you should be there at this time. On the third floor of St. George's Hospital."

Ian was overjoyed: "That's great. I'll be right over!"

Ian put down the newspaper and strode out: "Notify Bridson and go to St. George's Hospital immediately."

………………

Twenty minutes later.

The Rolls-Royce arrived at St. George's Hospital at lightning speed.

Ian got out of the car and ran to the third floor.

When he arrived at the door of the operating room, Ian saw Gaskell sitting in front of the operating room, waiting anxiously.

Seeing Ian coming over, the old man smiled with relief: "Hi."

Ian calmed himself down, straightened his collar, and walked over leisurely: "How's the situation?"

The old man patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, everything is fine."

Ian wiped his face and sighed.

So he sat next to the old man, and they looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"what!!!"

Lena's miserable cry came from the operating room, which made Ian and Gaskell feel heartbroken.

At least when it comes to giving birth, it’s really not easy for women!
Ian said softly, "She's worked hard. By the way, have you decided on a name?"

"Adam...Adam Bent! How's it going?"

Ian smiled and said, "That's good."

I have a son!
Ian felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

At this moment, all the calculations disappeared, and there was only the joy of having a child of my own.

Because he cared about Lena, Ian simply turned on his perspective, and he saw that Lena was still trying hard and the child was gradually emerging.

"It's almost out." Ian murmured.

Gaskell looked at him in surprise, then smiled and said, "Ah, I see."

Ian: "..."

Gaskell, did you guess that I can see through things?
Ugh!
We are all family, it doesn’t matter whether we know it or not, just maintain a tacit understanding.

Besides, this can also make him more confident in himself!
So he turned his head and looked aside.

At this time, the perspective had not been lifted yet, and he just took a casual glance, but was stunned for a moment.

Ian stood up suddenly, "Sorry Gaskell, I might have to leave for a while."

Gaskell was stunned. "At this time? There's news?"

"It's not just news." Ian hurried out, then suddenly thought of something. He looked back at Gaskell and said, "Tell Lena I love her. I'm sorry I may not be able to be with her right away."

Gaskell smiled: "She will understand you. Don't worry, I'm here."

Ian had picked up his phone and yelled, "Vincent, Bridson, get the camera! I'm coming down!"

Bridson and Vincent in the car understood immediately.

Vincent walked out of the car carrying a camera, with Bridson next to him.

Seeing Ian running out of the hospital, Vincent laughed and said, "What's going on, Boss?"

Before Ian could answer, he heard a gunshot.

Not far from the hospital entrance, a passerby fell down.

The shot blew a big hole in the passerby's chest, blood was all over the ground, and the passerby screamed in surprise.

"Fuck!" Vincent and Bridson cursed in surprise at the same time and instinctively retreated back into the car.

"Stand up and don't be a coward!" Ian shouted and rushed out.

Brydeson's expression changed: "I'm not a coward!"

How could someone who helped a bank robber escape be a coward?
It was just an instinctive reaction.

He grabbed Vincent, pulled out a gun, and ran after Ian: "You better be careful, boss!"

"It's okay, he won't fire a second shot!" Ian shouted. "How did you know?" Bridson was stunned.

Ian had gone around the opposite building and came to an alley.

He took out the pistol he carried with him and pointed it forward.

Then a black man carrying a bag walked down from the iron frame at the back of the building.

Ian shot the black man. The bullet hit the shelf next to him and the black man suddenly shrank his head.

"You missed." Vincent fearlessly leaned out half of his body and pointed the camera forward.

Ian sneered: "I did it on purpose. What's good news without a gunfight? Bridson, just protect Vincent and don't kill anyone!"

Brydeson nodded: "Understood!"

At the same time, he pulled Vincent back. There was no need to rush into it with such a terminal illness!
Bang, bang, bang, gunshots rang out wildly.

The black man fired continuously at Ian with a submachine gun. The bullets hit the wall in front of Vincent, sending out a shower of rubble.

Vincent shouted excitedly: "Boss, did you see that? I have courage!"

Ian nodded repeatedly: "I admit that I was prejudiced against you before. I always thought you were smart but timid. I was wrong."

Vincent laughed heartily.

The black man over there fired a burst of bullets and then ran out.

Vincent pointed the camera outside again: "Aren't you going to chase after them, Boss?"

"No, good news needs a twist and a warm-up." Ian smiled: "That's the only way..."

Ian suddenly fell silent, his expression changing drastically as he looked at the other building: "Fuck!"

He rushed out desperately and fired wildly at the windows of the opposite building.

There seemed to be a black man on the building, holding a sniper rifle in his hand, but he was aiming at the hospital.

In the hospital, a nurse came out with a cart: "Bent family, the baby is born, both mother and child are doing well."

boom!
The nurse's head exploded!

Blood and brain matter exploded in the nurse's head, splattering all over Lena and Gaskell.

At that moment, everyone was terrified.

"Ah!" Lena, who had just given birth, screamed in horror. Gaskell rushed over and pushed the cart away from the window.

There was a loud sound of gunfire in the distance, and everyone was frightened and covered their heads.

Gaskell bravely looked out the window, and then he saw a black man in the building opposite who had been shot in the chest and fell helplessly from the window.

He hurried over and saw Ian and Bridson standing downstairs.

The two men fired wildly at the dead gunman, and Ian was yelling something.

Gaskell couldn't hear what he was saying, but he could guess.

At that moment, the old man let out a long breath and sat down weakly against the wall.

………………

Five minutes later, Ian returned.

The hospital was still in chaos. They couldn't tell what had happened. Fortunately, Ian shouted loudly: "The gunman is dead. I killed him!"

"Mr. Karl, it's Mr. Karl!"

Seeing Ian Carr, people regained their courage and rushed over.

Ian pushed through the crowd and strode into the ward.

In the ward, Gaskell was wiping the blood off Lena's face, but the child was not there.

Seeing Ian coming back, Lena shouted, "Ian! Someone shot and killed someone. A nurse is dead!"

Ian nodded, walked quickly to their side, and grabbed Lianna's hand: "I'm glad you're okay. How's the baby?"

Gaskell replied: "He's in there and he hasn't come out. There are no windows."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the child was okay.

"What is going on?" Lena looked at Ian in horror.

Ian sat down next to Lena and stroked her pale face. "It was the father and son from the Washington shooting. I didn't expect them to come to Los Angeles to kill people... They killed people randomly. The son hunted passers-by, and the father hunted hospitals. I killed the father, and the son ran away."

The father and son shooting in Washington was a major event in the United States in 02. The incident lasted from February to October, a total of 2 months, and 10 people died.

But Ian didn't remember the other party's specific situation, so he had no interest in investigating the case. However, he didn't expect... they came running over.

The discrepancies of history!
"Father and son?" Lena was surprised. You knew his identity so quickly?

Gaskell nodded. "I thought it was directed at you."

Ian shook his head slightly: "No, it's not directed at me, it's just a coincidence... a real coincidence!"

Gaskell shrugged. "That's a rare thing."

So far, Gaskell has encountered four gun incidents - the hotel shooting, Filileso, the cafe shootout and this time.

The rare instances of unplanned violence in Ian's life almost always occurred around Gaskell.

Considering this aspect, Ian does have a "troublesome physique". Even if he doesn't design the plot, violence will follow him.

At this moment, a reporter rushed in and took pictures of Lian Na and the others. "Excuse me, sir, madam, what do you think about being shot after giving birth?"

Ian turned back angrily: "Get out! You damn paparazzi!"

The reporter was surprised when he saw Ian Carr: "Ian Carr? Okay, okay, it's your exclusive news again, you are always the fastest!"

Ian kicked the other person out and closed the door.

He raged: "These damn reporters don't even knock when they come in. They always like to expose people's scars."

Lianna looked at Ian with a smile: "Are you talking about yourself?"

Ian raised his eyebrows: "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that I'm also a damn reporter."

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.
