The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 155: Hollywood Model Couple and Fight
In response to Megan's question, Hawke put the blame on someone: "Someone is cursing us."

Megan didn't understand what this meant: "Curse? It also involves the occult? Not only did you provoke Mexican traffickers, but you also got involved with voodoo?"

Hawke said, "In the face of absolute firepower, these are minor problems."

Megan didn't say anything more. She estimated in her mind and gave the maximum copyright transfer fee: "30 US dollars. If it's more, I will be in trouble."

"Okay." Hawke agreed: "Go through the formalities."

He emphasized once more: "Don't forget your position."

Megan nodded: "This is not the first time I have worked with the LAPD. I will call Susie later."

Assistant Aisha came to the office to handle the copyright transfer. When Hawke signed the transfer agreement, $30 was quickly transferred to the account of the West Coast studio.

Megan also finished communicating with Susie. In fact, there was nothing special about it. She just played the surveillance video as it was and added voice-over introductions at the key stages.

The video is not long, only about five minutes.

Megan took the storage disk and called a meeting with her subordinates.

Hawke didn't stay for long. He left the program set and took the elevator downstairs.

When I went downstairs and got out of the elevator, a woman came out of the elevator next to me. It was Gretchen.

Hawke heard from Megan that Gretchen was transferred to Fox News and became the host of the morning news show "Fox and Friends".

Gretchen glanced at Hawke, with no intention of talking to him, and quickly walked past him and arrived at the main entrance of the Fox Building.

At this moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove over and stopped in front of the door.

Gretchen went forward to open the door, and a black man wearing a white baseball cap got out from the rear seat of the Phantom.

The man shook hands with Gretchen and they went into the building together.

Hawke stopped and took a quick look, and found that the black man looked very familiar, with a natural comic face and a pair of protruding ears.

The only black superstar in Hollywood - Will Smith.

Hawke got into his Mercedes and drove away from Forks.

Inside the building, Gretchen accompanied Will Smith into the elevator.

The latter's agent also followed.

The reason I came here today is to discuss with Gretchen about the interview on the show three days later.

The three of them went upstairs and came to a reception room.

The agent first emphasized one point: "The interview is limited to entertainment and movies. Do not discuss any political topics. Will's political inclinations are not in line with your Fox."

This can also be considered as part of the promotion of "Bad Boys 2".

Gretchen was able to invite Will Smith, and knowing that he was not popular, she quickly assured him, "All topics will revolve around Will's career and Bad Boys 2."

She specifically asked: "Can it involve Will's family? For example, Will and Jada's daily interactions and so on."

Will Smith gave a charming smile: "Okay, but don't be too sharp."

"Some questions about your love." Gretchen smiled and said, "You are the most famous model couple in Hollywood."

Will always felt it was a bit ironic when he heard the description of a model couple, but he didn't say much.

Because Gretchen made concessions, the communication went smoothly.

The agent went to discuss the copy with the program editor, leaving Gretchen and Will Smith alone in the reception room.

Will Smith patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit down."

In order to invite Will Smith, Gretchen not only made concessions, but also made promises. She immediately stood up, pulled up her skirt slightly, and sat next to him.

Will Smith stretched out his hand above Gretchen's legs: "Okay?"

"Of course." Gretchen smiled.

Will Smith moved his hands up and down, exploring her: "You know what? I was sitting in the audience during the Miss America pageant. You were so beautiful back then, and you left an indelible impression on me. Even now, I still remember the way you looked when you wore the crown."

Gretchen asked, "Am I not beautiful now?"

"It's very beautiful." Will Smith laughed: "So, I accepted your invitation."

Few women rejected him, so he was direct: "When will you fulfill your promise?"

"Tonight." During this period, Gretchen not only accompanied Roger Ailes, the emperor of Fox Television Network, but also accompanied some other people under Roger's arrangement.

Once a person's bottom line is broken, everything that follows will seem natural to him.

Gretchen thought it was worth it to spend a night to get an interview with Will Smith in the morning.

After his agent finished discussing the script, Will Smith temporarily left Fox, got in the car and sent Gretchen a text message, telling her the address of an undisclosed property in Los Angeles.

Will Smith and his wife Jada Smith both have secret properties and do not interfere with each other's daily lives.

On the way back, Will Smith called his wife and said, "I'm not going home tonight."

Jada Smith smiled and said, "That's right, I'm not going home tonight either."

The couple had already reached agreement on some issues.

…………

Mexicali, the capital of Baja California.

Cars drove into a manor in the city one after another.

Most of the top Mule Gang members in Mexicali rushed over because the Los Angeles media had just reported a major event.

Many good gang members died in Los Angeles.

What to do next? They must come up with a solution as soon as possible. From the outside, the manor looked ordinary.

But the people inside were armed with guns and were heavily guarded.

It's getting later.

Suddenly, all the lights in the manor went out, and explosions and fires were heard in the power distribution room and the generator set, burning with red flames.

There was a constant stream of shouts in Spanish about the enemy attack.

At the same time, gunshots rang out without warning, and the guards of the manor were targeted by more than one sniper from a distance, with blood spurting out of their bodies.

The three gates were breached at the same time, and pickup trucks and off-road vehicles with makeshift machine gun mounts welded on them rushed in from outside.

Although some of the Mule Gang's members were former Mexican police officers, they had long been corrupt, and the most elite of them died in a villa in the Silver Lake community.

Facing elite mercenaries, the battle became one-sided from the beginning.

Moreover, the mercenaries left no one alive and slaughtered crazily.

Inside the villa, the Mule Gang leader Herhao called a head of the Mexicali Police Department, but the call was cut off.

Then he called a senior officer of the local garrison, but the call was also unsuccessful.

At the Mexicali Police Department, the person in charge was sitting in his office, and a group of his trusted subordinates, fully armed, were guarding outside the office.

On the desk opposite the person in charge was an open suitcase filled with US dollars.

Faced with the two options of money or offending the American bosses, he faithfully followed his inner choice.

Trafficking gangs on the U.S.-Mexico border rise and fall, and are updated and iterated every few years. Some of the fattened ones are always slaughtered. Where does the hand behind the scenes come from?

This man knows very well that the real ruler comes from America.

The traffickers have changed one after another, but America has always existed.

No matter who you offend, don’t offend the big guys in America.

The gunshots inside the manor stopped, and the fire that was originally burning in only one corner suddenly turned into a raging fire, setting the entire manor on fire.

The smoke had not yet dissipated, and the stench of burning corpses wafted into the air.

The mercenaries came quickly and left quickly, quickly moving away from the fire scene and disappearing into the night.

Most of the top leaders of the Mule Gang died in the attack.

The next morning, people from the Mexicali Police Department arrived at the scene and, after an on-site inspection, announced that a gang fight had occurred in the manor the previous night, which resulted in the deaths of many people and caused a fire.

Gang fights are so common on the U.S.-Mexico border that even Americans on the other side of the border often climb to the top of buildings at night to enjoy the special fireworks set off by Mexicans on the other side of the border wall.

…………

LAPD headquarters at Parker Center, Los Angeles.

The LAPD Media and Public Relations Office held a press conference on the Silver Lake community shooting in the press room.

Because "Ace News" broadcast the on-site surveillance video last night, the expectations at today's press conference were much lower.

The atmosphere only became lively after LAPD's top star Erica Ferguson appeared.

Erica gave a proper account of what happened that night, answered some questions from reporters, and then left the stage citing fatigue.

After the news died down, Erica followed routine procedures, went for counseling, and then went through administrative leave procedures.

She came out of the office building, got into the Mercedes in the parking lot, and said to Hawke in the driver's seat, "You can go now."

Hawke started the car, drove out of Parker Center, and asked, "Any plans for the vacation?"

Erica said, "I can't leave Los Angeles. I have to assist in the investigation at any time. I'll go to your place today and to Woodland Hills tomorrow. My grandparents asked me to go over there to accompany them."

Hawke drove west, toward East Hollywood.

Erica said, "I got news from the police that a gang fight broke out in Mexicali last night, and most of the main members of the Mule Gang died in the fight."

Hawke was not surprised by the news, but he did not believe this statement: "Is it really a gang fight?"

Erica spread her hands: "This is the news I got."

She deliberately pulled it off: "Did you go to Mexicali overnight and eat alone?"

"I don't have such a good appetite." Hawke cooperated with her and said, "If I really want to deal with those mules, I can't do it without your long-range support."

He continued to pull: "When we have money, we will also raise a team of elite soldiers. If anyone dares to mess with us, we will directly greet them with guns and cannons."

Erica smiled crisply: "I like this style."

Although Hawke seemed to be joking, he was actually thinking that America was too simple and honest and there were some things that had to be guarded against.

When you reach a certain level, you cannot hesitate when it is time to do something.

The two came to Fountain Street and entered the studio. Caroline and Edward were on the first floor.

Erica greeted them, took a laptop, and went straight to the second floor so as not to disturb Hawke's work.

Hawke sat at his desk and asked, "How is the progress of your work?"

Edward spoke first: "I have mobilized a lot of people, including the Ugly Trio. Once the website is established, I can immediately let them spread the news among the paparazzi and let them know that Los Angeles has a new news sales channel."

Caroline placed a document in front of Hawke: "This is the consulting document for the real estate company."

Hawke waved his hand: "You can send it over later."

Caroline took out another document and said, "Here on the website, I found a suitable acquisition target."
