The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 146: The shooting scene (please give me a monthly ticket)

Beverly Hills, Four Seasons Hotel.

In the private room, Robert Redford looked extremely serious and looked at Rooney Chasen and said coldly: "My people found that your assistant Sasha was mixed with Hawke Osmon's people. ”

"Impossible!" Rooney would not believe outsiders' words easily.

Seeing that the two were about to have a dispute, lawyer Cheryl interrupted, "Two, our main job now is to find Wagren. Where did this guy go?"

Redford took out his cell phone and called again.

After the connection there, before he could ask, someone said, "It just so happens that I want to call you too. You should watch Fox 11 quickly. "Ace News" has you and Sterling Van on it. ·Waglen. ”

Redford quickly went to turn on the TV and asked while switching Channel 11: "Is Sterling on your side?"

The man said, "He didn't come..."

Redford suddenly put down his cell phone and cut off the phone because he saw the scene where "Ace News" was playing.

First of all, there is a girl with the girl's face and key parts coded, but it can be seen that she is still young.

Then three men appeared, namely Wagren, himself and Lawrence Pope.

Cheryl and Rooney's eyes turned to the TV screen at the same time.

The two of them had to make a phone call, but they both put down their phones at this time, feeling that there was no need.

The TV picture quickly changed, and another video changed, becoming Wagren himself, and the other side was still young.

After a while of play, it changed again, the girl changed to two, and the three men were still Wagren, Redford and Pope.

At this moment, Redford was in a brief shock.

This **** Wagren, even if he really took photos of the secret, he even took photos of him and Pope!

Rooney next to her was somewhat suspicious of her life. She hadn't experienced such a crushing defeat for too long.

Everything was very smooth, and she defeated Hawke Osmon and West Coast Studio with a storm-like attack, without even the power to fight back. From public opinion to victims to legal level, she occupied an overwhelming amount of Advantages.

The fruits of victory were at your fingertips, but everything collapsed.

Rooney suddenly thought of what Redford said just now, and Sasha and Hawke Osmond's people got involved...

If all this is true, she was plotted by Hawke Osmond and Caroline Jones on the day she took over Wagren's business!

Caroline Jones used himself as bait and sacrificed his career to help Sasha win his trust?

What about Rachel Wood? The other party took the initiative to put the weaknesses and flaws that could not be prevented in front of him, let him attack, attract attention, and then quietly opened up another track?

The opponent does not defend the weakest point, but instead deviates from the side and penetrates directly into the key points of one's own side?

Cheryl is a lawyer and reacted the most quickly. She grabbed Redford and said, "You are in danger. Think about how to deal with the investigation by LAPD or FBI!"

Redford and Pope are mixed together, and they still have a basic sense of political smell.

The LAPD and FBI Los Angeles branch office were not over before, and they did not want to directly interfere in the bipartisan dispute. There was neither evidence nor any pressure.

It's different now. Such news is not something that a program team of "Ace News" can make a decision, which means that Fox TV will be exposed on a large scale, and public opinion pressure will follow.

Video is the best evidence. As long as LAPD receives an alarm, it will inevitably end.

Redford understood that the situation was quite dangerous, and the most important point was that his old friend Wagren still couldn't contact him.

This had to remind him of some possibility.

"At the legal level, you're more professional, think of a solution." Redford picked up his bag: "I'll make some arrangements now."

Cheryl said, "Don't panic, we have a way."

Redford nodded slightly and looked at Rooney: "We are all hurt by you!"

Rooney couldn't speak for a moment.

Redford went out and walked towards the elevator while calling his assistant: "Subscribe me a plane ticket immediately. It is best if you don't have an extradition agreement with the United States, no... the fastest one leaves the United States, the faster the better!"

He thought that something happened to his friend and he was not safe, so he hung up the phone and called again: "Come here immediately and go to Los Angeles International Airport with me."

At this moment, Redford thought of Roman Polanski, and his situation was so similar to him.

Run away and go to the European film industry to have a good time.

Redford just left, and before the end of the broadcast of "Ace News", Cheryl and Rooney also left separately.

The former is still full of fighting spirit and is ready to do a big fight.

The latter was heavy and immediately called Sasha when he got in the car.

But the busy sound came from the receiver.

Rooney is basically sure, Sasha is an undercover agent!

She thought about it and called Caroline, but this time she got it.

In the lounge of Fox TV Center, Caroline asked, "Do you have something to do?"

Rooney kept silent, and finally said nothing, and hung up the phone.

If you lose, you lose, there is nothing to say.

Rooney asked the driver to drive and return to the company.

Caroline on the other side put away her cell phone and felt particularly comfortable, and she wanted to scream a few times.

But there is Sasha around her, and she wants to maintain her majesty and scheming.

At the door, Edward came in from outside and was somewhat surprised to see Sasha and Caroline sitting together.

But he followed Hawk for the longest time, thought about it, walked over quickly, and asked Sasha, "So you are also an undercover agent!"

Sasha nodded at Edward: "Hello, Mr. Undercover."

Edward exclaimed: "The boss is so amazing. This is a matter of two undercover agents."

"You guys think too simple." Caroline tried to look serious and solemn on her face: "This is not a small fight in the entertainment industry, it is a party struggle!"

Hawke and Brian came in from outside at this time.

Sasha stood up and looked at Hawke.

Hawke nodded at her: "Good job."

Sasha was very straightforward: "Thank you for the bonus." After thanking Hawke in person, she picked up her bag: "I'm going out for a trip and relax."

Hawke said to Brian: "Send two people, a car, and **** Sasha for a ride."

After using up, not only did he give him an extra bonus, but he also gave such treatment. Sasha said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you."

Brian called and soon came a man and a woman. He drove Sasha back to his rented apartment and packed up his things to prepare for a trip to East Asia.

There was no one else here, and Hawke said to Brian again, "Let your two subordinates start, they should agree."

...

Meanwhile, Lawrence Pope, who was resting at home in Sacramento, received a call.

"Hurry up and take a look at Fox 11's "Ace News." The person who called him reminded him.

Realizing that there was important news, Pope came out of the bedroom, looked at his wife and fourteen-year-old daughter, and said, "Linda, send Catherine to bed."

Katherine argued: "I'm not sleepy yet, I want to watch TV series..."

Pope said, "Be good, be obedient."

Catherine pouted and reluctantly returned to her bedroom.

Linda followed.

Pop picked up the remote control, switched to Channel 11, and then saw his heroic posture **** on the TV screen.

Of course there is another girl.

"Fak!" Pope was furious and took out his cell phone and wanted to call.

There was a scream behind him, followed by the dull sound of a man slamming into the wall.

Pope turned around and found his wife Linda leaning against the wall, looking at the TV in shock, pointing at her side, as if she had lost her ability to speak.

The phone in his hand rang and Pope looked at the caller ID, not caring about his wife's side and quickly connected.

Angry voice sounded from the earpiece: "Is this your guarantee?"

Pope wanted to argue, but looking at the news on the TV, he was so exhausted.

The anger on the other side disappeared a little bit. After all, he was wearing a mask at the time and said, "As soon as you do, the people who should shut up make them shut up."

Pope understood what this said and said, "I will take it all."

When he hung up the phone, his wife had already walked to the TV and looked at her husband who was busy typing the girl. She turned her head and glared: "Why? Why?"

Pope seemed to have not heard it, sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

"I don't know you cheated, I can't see it." Linda pointed to the TV screen: "But how can you do this! You also have a daughter, and you are a father!"

She angrily rebuked: "You are just a beast! No, you are not even as good as a beast!"

Pope didn't respond, turned to look at the location of his daughter's room, closed his eyes in pain, and said, "I will bear all the consequences! Linda, Linda, listen to me..."

He raised his voice: "Listen to me, everything that follows is very important and is related to your future life with Catherine."

Linda gritted her teeth: "You ruined it all."

Pope was calm and continued, "You contact the lawyer Doni immediately. We will agree to divorce tonight. All the property belongs to you and Catherine. After completing the divorce procedures, you and Catherine leave Sacramento and go to New York. Your brother is here. There, I can take care of you."

Linda looked at this animal-like husband with a particularly complicated look, and she couldn't tell which one was his true face.

"You move faster." Pope put on his coat and took the car keys: "I'm going out. When I come back, Doni's best be able to draft a divorce agreement."

For the sake of the future, Linda forced herself not to show the deep smile, and nodded: "Go." Pope went out and drove out, while taking out a cell phone from the car and calling out: " Hammerson, come out immediately and we'll meet you."

Half an hour later, Pope took a large amount of cash from a house and brought the money to the agreed coffee house. He met the strong white man waiting here.

He didn't talk nonsense, and handed the money to Hammerson: "The person who takes you, set off now and go to Los Angeles overnight."

Hammerson opened the bag, roughly counted the money, and asked directly: "Who is the target?"

"Robert Redford and Sterling van Wagren, go find the photos yourself and make them shut up," Pope said.

"Two celebrities in Hollywood." Hammerson knew who these two were, especially Redford. He put away his bag: "Wait for my good news."

Pope nodded, and did not say anything. After the person left, he took out a cigarette and lit it.

...

Pasanadi, in a separate house.

Brian's assistant Sandra accompanied the family of three to finish reading "Ace News".

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Panny's hands were stirred together, her eyes wide open, and her face was full of resentment.

Her parents are still thinking.

Sandra recalled the words Hawke taught and said, "Before, we found three victims, but they were all given up by public relations. Do you know what methods the other party used to coerce? A paid $3 million The heroine! Do you really want to stay silent? Stay silent with nothing?"

What justice and what regain justice is all useless nonsense at this moment.

Hawke knew very well what could impress these people.

Penny's father said, "Can we discuss it?"

Sandra nodded with a smile, and got up and left the room.

Penny's mother said anxiously: "This is unfair, too unfair! We abide by the rules, but we get nothing! Look at those who jumped out of breaking the rules, if they win the lawsuit, they can get a lot of compensation, even if If you give up halfway, you can still get money and resources."

Her husband asked, "Did you agree?"

The woman shouted: "Why don't you agree! Fox TV has been exposed, what are you afraid of!"

The man nodded, "Okay, let's call the police."

At this time, Panni came to the door and opened the door and said to the people in the yard, "My parents let you in."

Santa Monica, in a small villa in the coastal area.

Another Brian's assistant, in almost the same way, convinced the parents of another victim.

Rooney's public relations and public opinion reversal was successful, but all of this was based on the lack of video exposure. Fox TV released relevant news, which became Hawke's inspiring tools.

The conditions she offered Rachel Wood were so good and so attractive.

Half an hour later, the group met in Brian's law firm and after a brief consultation, they signed an agency contract with Brian.

Then, accompanied by Brian, the two victims, together with their guardians, went to the Western Division to call the police.

Before entering the Western Conference, Brian received calls from three victim guardians, Rachel, Judy and Amanda, wanting to work with him again.

Brian asked them to come directly to the Western Conference.

...

Downtown Los Angeles, adjacent to the editorial department of the Los Angeles Times in the City Hall.

Maryle, deputy editor-in-chief of the Business, received a call from Franko Pearson, chairman of the School of Film Arts and Sciences.

The former said directly: "Fox TV has already revealed this matter. In addition to "Ace News", Fox News is now broadcasting on the rolling track. The first news at 10 o'clock has released a new piece of content. It's not enough to suppress it. Live, the Los Angeles Times, as one of the three major newspapers in North America, cannot pretend to be invisible."

Pearson's voice on the other side seemed to have grown aged a few years: "I have no intention of stopping your reports. It is your freedom to report the hot events that have occurred. But this is just an individual case in Hollywood, and I hope it will not affect it. This year's Oscars."

Maryle could understand the other party's words. She was not a person who was silly reporting the news. She gave her face: "The focus of the report is of course Van Wagren and Robert Redford."

Pearson's tone was sore: "What they did should be punished."

Maryle politely said a few words, hung up the phone, and looked at the copywriting on the table, calling for a deep investigation into whether there are any such incidents in Hollywood.

She picked up the phone and called out.

Soon, the editor-in-chief in charge of the front page headlines entered the office.

Maryle said directly: "If you want to modify the manuscript, focus on Van Wagren and Robert Redford. Don't mention the rest too much, and don't involve too much in the case."

"Okay." The editor-in-chief took the manuscript back and asked the editor in charge to revise it.

Just before the press releases of major newspapers were finalized, the editorial department received a call, both openly and secretly, asking to downplay the news, not to not report it, but to focus on the individual, calling for the individual to be held accountable.

Especially the California-based media reached a tacit agreement.

This is the blue base camp.

Overall, Hollywood is deep blue.

Even LAPD was affected to a certain extent because Brian went to report the case, and it was too late, and the corresponding staff on duty were off duty and could not issue a summons.

Brian was not in a hurry, and the goal of implicating the matter in Pope had been achieved.

Hawke was even more invisible behind the scenes, hiding in the villa with layers of protection, and staring at everything that happened carefully. Nothing is more important than his own safety.

This period of time after the news is exposed is the most dangerous time.

When you should be dependent, you cannot jump out.

Even Campos and the others were ordered by Hawkeler to leave Los Angeles overnight and go out for a trip.

...

The next morning, in the parking lot on Santa Monica 20th Street.

Wagren woke up from his sleep and turned to look at the passenger seat. The package on it had long disappeared.

Memories returned to his brain, and he slapped his forehead hard: "Damn it!"

The storage disk and video were stolen!

Wagren recalled a little, remembering what the robber said at the time, and if he guessed correctly, the person who robbed the goods was most likely sent by Pope.

He quickly looked for his phone and found that the battery and signal card of the phone were removed and thrown in the passenger seat.

Wagren picked it up, and this matter has developed to the present day. Redford must be notified, after all, his friends for many years.

He installed his cell phone and called Redford, but found that it could not be reached.

If you fight again, it will still be the same.

Could it be? Wagren panicked and quickly started the car, drove out of the parking lot, and headed to the Pacific Coast Highway.

He has a secret property in Malibu with cash and passport.

Wagren wanted to run away, too.

But as soon as his cell phone signal was turned on, he called again, and it was locked soon.

Before they arrived in Malibu, two SUVs affiliated with the FBI caught up.

The car in front was skillfully stopped, the car behind was blocked from the retreat, and there were no other vehicles around.

Accompanied by the harsh sound of brakes, the three cars stopped one after another.

Wagren saw the FBI logo on the front and rear cars, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and got out of the car, shouting, "I don't have weapons, I don't have weapons."

Several people wearing FBI vests got out of the two cars, and they used the vehicle as cover and shouted, "FBI, let me see your hands!"

Another man shouted, "Let's go down, lie on the ground!"

Wagren knelt beside the car with his hands in his arms.

Suddenly, gunfire sounded.

Bang bang bang—

Four FBI fired one after another, and several bullets hit Wagren, but more bullets hit the red Focus, like a fierce gunfight.

The Fox faces the FBI on both sides, and there are dozens of bullet holes.

Wagren, who was shot several times, fell to the ground and was not dead yet.

One of the FBI took a bag of evidence, took out the Burreta pistol, came to Fox's position, stood next to Wagren, and said, "Be careful."

The others went to the side, chose the right position here, and pulled the trigger, and the FBI car was immediately hit with a bullet hole.

Then he shot the SUV behind him.

The shell fell on Wagren and the director made a weird sound from his throat.

The FBI handled the marks on the gun and placed them at Wagren's hand to help him hold the pistol.

Another asked, "Is the gun okay?"

The man said, "That guy found out from his house was his gun."

The leader urged, “Hurry up.”

Creating a real gunfight scene is not difficult for these professional agents.
