Chapter 140 The Bloody Fact
This is not the first time Hawke and Brian have cooperated, and both parties also have a certain foundation of trust.
In addition to his own situation, Hawke also needs to understand the situation on the other side: "What is the situation on the other side? Don't tell me that there is only one director, and you still can't handle it."
Brian said in detail: " The target of this matter is Pope, an assistant in the governor's office. Before serving as an assistant, Pope Worked for a film private equity fund, and this private equity fund has cooperated with Van Waglen and Robert Redford as producers several times, participating in the platter investment. "
Hawke. You will understand what is going on when you listen: "You give me benefits, and I will give you convenience."
"Obviously, that's it." Brian added: "Wallgren himself is not powerful, but Robert Redford is a big boss in Hollywood. He once founded the Sundance Film Festival and has a special relationship with the media. Well, under pressure from people like him, the mainstream media ignored the news. ”
Hoke understands the media and entertainment industry better than he does: "More than that, have you ever considered that this matter has touched the sensitive nerves of many people in Hollywood and the media industry, and they do not want this matter to become a Hot news. "
Brian said: "This is one of the difficulties. One, there is no direct evidence. After calling the police, the LAPD took a neutral position. Without concrete evidence, it is impossible to take coercive action against a famous director and producer. The matter essentially cannot be hidden from the people of the Parker Center. Although my uncle Carter is a member of the five-person committee Members, their words carry a lot of weight, but they must also take other committees into consideration "
He pulled out another piece of information from his bag: "This is Waglen's lawyer, Cheryl, a very difficult lawyer."
Hawk browsed quickly. After going through the lawyer’s basic information, he asked: “Find out as soon as possible who is responsible for Waglen’s public relations affairs.”
Brian responded: "I will let people do it quickly."
"You are responsible for the formal legal procedures." Hawke is very clear about the strengths of the two of them: "Prevent the other party from doing bad things and doing the other party's bad things. , Leave it to me.”
This matter itself is not about pursuing legal fairness and justice. Brian also considered this when he asked Hawke to cooperate.
Hoke continued: "We need to set up a fixed office."
Brian pointed to the door: "Beverly Avenue is just outside the door, so it is very convenient here."
"With an office, we also need reliable manpower." Hawke said directly: "On my side, there will be two people in the open, and you don't have to worry about the secret."
Brian said: "I can take three people Come here, there will be people waiting in the dark.”
Hoke said: "Concealed surveillance is installed outside the villa. We need to prevent our opponents from coming to cause trouble."
Brian said: "Let someone come and install it early tomorrow morning."
As long as you have money, these are not problems.
Hawk thought for a while and then said: "I want to see the person involved as soon as possible."
Brian glanced at his watch: "Tomorrow, it's too late now."
Hoke accepted Pick up the information Brian brought and prepare to leave.
But Brian said: "Come to the garage and show you something good."
What he said reminded Hawk of those people who sold records in his previous life.
The two entered the garage, where three cars were parked.
Brian took a car key and handed it to Hawke: "You drive this Mercedes-Benz first."
Hawk then asked: "How can you be so kind? ? Is there an ulterior motive?”
“Don’t think too much about it.” Brian patted the thick roof of the Mercedes-Benz: “This is a bulletproof car.”
< br>Hoke opened the door and got in: "I'll open it first."
Brian opened the electric garage door.
Hoke drove out of the villa, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message: "Are you asleep?"
Erica's phone called immediately and asked: "Are you outside?" , There seems to be the sound of a car."
"I just had a chat with Brian." Hawke asked in no hurry.
Erica asked: "How was your chat?"
Hawke said: "Brian hired me with a high salary, and I want to cooperate with him."
Erica suddenly laughed, as if her tense nerves were released: "I still have two days of vacation. I'll come find you tomorrow."
Hoke glanced at the driving car and said, "I have to go out to do some errands in the morning and have dinner together at noon."
Neither of them are sloppy people. Almost hung up the phone.
Hoke took out his spare phone and sent a text message to Edward and Campos respectively: "See you at the safe house tomorrow morning."
The two men quickly responded to the message.
Early the next morning, Hawke drove into the bulletproof Mercedes-Benz, first went to Venice Avenue, and turned directly into the Cactus Auto Repair Center.
The boss saw him getting out of the car and said, "Are you here to install the driving recorder again?"
Hoke nodded slightly: "Install one." He came closer and whispered: "Don't you have a tester here? Help me test whether there are any extra electronic devices in the car."
The boss understood immediately: "Don't worry, let's start now."
Hawke stood beside the car and watched the workers busy.
After installing the driving recorder and testing it, the boss came over and said: "Everything is normal."
Hoke paid the fee and drove away.
Midway, I changed to a car and came to the safe house.
Edward and Campos are already waiting here.
Hawke took out the copied information, handed it to Campos, and said, "New work and goals."
Campos took a copy and looked at it carefully.
Edward is also watching in a decent manner.
Hoke told the incident in detail.
Campos lamented: "The United States is no less scum than Mexico."
Edward put down the information and said: "Because Mexico is too far away from heaven and too close to the United States."
After seeing the two of them finish reading, Hawke specially put up a photo of Waglen: "The main target is him .”
Campos stared at the photo, trying to carve the person into his mind.
Hoke took out the photos of lawyer Cheryl and the real target Pope, and warned: "Don't follow these two people, remember!"
Campos also learned the identities of the two people. Responded: "Understood."
He was about to leave, but Hawke stopped him and asked: "Has the legal status been processed?"
"The deposit was paid before Christmas." Campos said roughly: "Garcia and Carlos, You can get the legal status procedures this afternoon."
Hoke nodded: "You handle the rest as appropriate, don't apply for too many people at once."
Campos took care of them in Mexico. His subordinates knew that they should give people hope but not have too much extravagant expectations.
After explaining the matter, Hawke and Edward left quickly.
Edward took the subway and came to the parking lot to change into a new Mercedes-Benz. He asked: "Boss, why did you change to a new car?"
Hoke said: "It was a temporarily borrowed bulletproof car."
"Bulletproof car?" Edward exclaimed: "Someone is going to attack us."
Hoke waved his hand: "Nip it in the bud." He pointed to the exit: "Go to Beverly Hills. I have an appointment with Erica at noon."
Edward drove west. , said: "Donny's son Indio flew leaves at a party held by his classmates."
Hawke asked: "How did you do it?"
In what he has done recently, Edward is inevitably showing off a bit.
After Campos arrived, he found that the butterfly was more professional and efficient, and he inevitably felt a sense of crisis.
Edward feels that Hawke must be made to feel that he is also very important.
He said: "Debora asked me for help. I took the opportunity of practicing Taekwondo to beat Indio so hard that he realized that touching those things was wrong!"
"Well done." Hawke nodded slightly and encouraged: "Is there anything else?"
Edward continued: "Deborah is very grateful to me. Yesterday afternoon we went to the cemetery to visit little Robert. ·Donny, she said that she wanted Donny to see how happy she is now, and she had to be like me at the grave. , I can’t refuse.”
He said seriously: “Robert Downey Jr. must have felt Deborah’s extreme happiness and agreed to let me take care of Deborah and Indio, because he didn’t come out. Say no."
Hoke couldn't help but laugh, feeling inexplicably happy.
Insulting squid always makes people happy.
Edward is full of emotional value.

Full Speed PR Company.
After coordinating Sarah Parker's interview, Caroline hung up the phone and sat back in the office chair. She had no other work at hand for a while, and she was a little bored.
She was browsing the news on the Internet and saw a sheep, and a thought came to her mind: "What is that wolf doing?" Caroline took a red-eye flight and rushed back to Los Angeles early this morning. Yawning a few times, he told his assistant: "Sasha, go make me a cup of coffee."
Sasha went out and walked towards the coffee machine. Suddenly she saw several people coming in from the door of the company. One of them was tall and handsome, and he had become famous all over the Internet in recent months.
In the empty night, Sasha watched Josh Hartnett's videos many times to comfort herself, and she had a special feeling for him.
Josh Hartnett and two other middle-aged men entered the office of company director Rooney Chasen.
Sasha took the coffee and walked around in a circle, passing by the director's office. Unfortunately, the frosted glass door was closed, and she didn't know what the people were doing inside.
She returned to Caroline's office, put down her coffee, and whispered: "Guess who I saw."
Caroline thought about sheep and wolves for a while. She was mentally exhausted and replied angrily. : "It will never be the man of your dreams."
"Josh Hartnett!" Sasha was a little excited: "The man who took the selfie Protagonist Josh Hartnett!"
Although he did not participate in the Selfie Gate incident from beginning to end, Caroline knew that it was Hawke's handiwork and couldn't help but wonder: "What is he doing behind the Selfie Gate? Isn’t it so red?”
Sasha shrugged: “Maybe it was another woman.”
Caroline was particularly interested in things related to the wolf and said, "You can go and find out later."
Both of them had nothing to do at the moment, quietly staring at the director's office. .
The company's legal advisor and the assistant to the director were coming in and out, looking very busy.
Caroline winked: "Go and ask."
Sasha found the opportunity, and when a legal assistant went to the coffee room, she also pretended to go to pick up the coffee and asked Said: "Mannie, I seem to have seen Josh Hartnett. Is he going to sign with the company?"
"It's not him, it's the director and producer Van Waglen who he recommended." The assistant didn't know the specific situation and said vaguely: "It seems that Van Waglen is in trouble and wants to find the director to help him solve it personally. "
Sasha said: "Rooney takes action and the price is very high. "
The assistant shrugged: "Of course, it is said to be 1.2 million US dollars."
Sasha was envious: "These scum earn so much money."
"Yes, do people have to put down their morals if they want to make more money?" the assistant said.
Sasha finished washing the cup: "Let's go."
She quickly returned to the office and told Caroline what she had learned.
Caroline wondered, according to common sense, Josh Hartnett has experienced the selfie scandal, and if people around him have similar needs, they should first recommend Hawke.
She picked up the phone and called Hawke.
The other side asked: "Miss Me, is there something wrong? Or do you want to give me a belated Christmas gift?"
Hearing this, Caroline was so angry that her teeth itched, but she did not hang up the phone, and proactively said: "I just discovered something. Josh Hartnett brought someone to the company to seek public relations help."< br>
When Hawke heard the name, he immediately asked: "Who is the person he brought?"
Caroline didn't pay much attention just now, and gestured to Sasha, who said: "Director and producer Van Waglun."
Hoke heard: " Do you have time this afternoon? Come out and let’s meet.”
“Okay!” Caroline agreed.
…………
In a small parking lot in Beverly Hills, Hawke hung up the phone.
He thought for a while, picked up the phone again, and dialed Brian’s number: “It’s me. I just got the news that Van Waglun chose Full Speed Public Relations Company for public relations, and hired this company at a high price. The company's director, Rooney Chasen, praised: "You're so fast, I'm still snooping here."
A Cherokee turned into the parking lot at this time. , parked in the empty parking space next to Hawke.
Erica got out of the car and waited for Hawke to finish the call. She turned around and took out a gift box and gave it to Hawke: "It's for you."
Hawk pulled her into the Mercedes-Benz.
Erica frowned: "You don't want to be here, do you? I'm on my period."
"What do you want?" Hawke took the walnut box placed on the seat : "I gave this to you."
Erica recognized the box style as soon as she saw it, grabbed it and held it in her hand: "M1911 special commemorative model!"
"Open it and take a look." Hawke opened the gift box, which also contained a gun.
Colt Python!
Erica picked up the gun, gently stroked the gun body, and turned to look at Hawke.
Hoke came over and kissed her: "We really have a tacit understanding."
Erica was filled with joy: "Yes, there is such a tacit understanding!"
The two of them admired the pistols for a while, got out of the car and went to the restaurant to eat together.
During this period, Erica took the initiative to talk about Brian's case: "You know? I have been worried."
How could Hawke, a scheming man, not understand: "We are so There is a tacit understanding, how could I make the wrong choice?”
Erica was still worried: "Politics is far darker than the LAPD. You must be careful."
"I will." Hawke dared to accept this order because there was an important prerequisite. He said: " You forget, Brian is the one at the front.”
Erica couldn't help but laugh: "He is not as alert and capable as us."
Hoke said: "Unless you are crazy, you will not directly attack Brian personally. After all, this is just a peripheral fight. "
Erica asked: "You find a way Are you ready?”
“I just have a little idea.” Hawke said truthfully: “You know me, don’t take the usual path.”
Erica is not good at this. After a few words, he took the initiative to change the topic: "Is our grizzly bear specimen still okay?"
Hawke said: "I called before Christmas, and it won't be until after New Year at the earliest."
Erica was helpless: "The display cabinet has been ordered, but there are no specimens."
< br>"Aren't you going to invite me to Florida to hunt alligators?" Hawke suggested: "We will get a few more indicators and make more specimens then."
The two had lunch, and Huo Ke suggested K is going to see Caroline.
Erica did not delay his work, drove the Cherokee straight to the Silver Lake community, came to her villa, and placed the M1911 obtained from Hawke in the most conspicuous position in the exhibition room.
She thought for a while, then called Wyoming and asked the people at the Buffalo Gun Store to handle a professional consignment and mail the shotguns and shotguns they had stored in the store.
These two guns have witnessed the brilliant 2V7 results of the two people, which is very memorable.
On the other side, Hawke met Caroline who was coming over at Starbucks in Century City.
This woman didn’t know what she was thinking, so she permed and dyed her hair platinum blonde.
Hoke looked her up and down: "Long platinum hair, white handbag, white windbreaker, and white high heels. Do you really want to be a sheep?"
Caroline rolled her eyes: "You really have no artistic taste. This is a new look that I spent a lot of money to find a first-line designer to design for me."
Hoke was too lazy to argue and said, "Are you sure Fan ·Is Waglen going to sign a contract with Full Speed? "
"Yes, I checked on the Internet, and it seems that some media revealed that he violated the child actor." Caroline is in the public eye. Si made a special investigation: "Although there are many such scandals in Hollywood, in the past, except for those who have completely left the entertainment industry, almost no one dared to break the news."
She added: "The whistleblower doesn't care whether he wins or loses. In the end, I will definitely not be able to stay in the entertainment industry anymore."
Hoke asked: "Is your director Rooney Chasen very good?"
Caroline told the truth: "Very powerful, much stronger than me. If I had her skills, I would have killed her long ago and become director."
Hoke continued to ask: "She thinks like Are you so rigid and stuck in a routine?"
Caroline thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely not as wild as you." She felt. Strange: "Why are you asking these questions? Do you want to do..."
"Guessed it right." Hawke said: "As a reward, you will imitate a sheep's cry once."
Caroline Said: "If this is the case, as a member of the Full Speed Company, I am disclosing this to you, which is a serious violation of the company's regulations."
Hawke sneered: "You still know the company's rules?"
Caroline thought about her collusion with Hawke and taking advantage of the company's customers to take commissions, and she couldn't even utter a word to refute.
Hoke directly invited: "Miss Me, join me, the salary will be good."
Caroline still wanted to struggle: "I will be fired."
< br>Hoke throws out a bloody fact: "It won't take long before you will be fired."
"But there's no long-term income." Caroline looked far ahead.
Hoke said: "I am preparing to set up a very professional company."
