America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 859 - 836: The Village Chief is about to Come Online
The camera recorded Alexandrovich's burgeoning heroism, and under Martin's encouragement, the comedy star became increasingly confident.
He stood at the entrance of the Dnieper Cafe, the scene where the Security Bureau was leading criminals out one after another; it became merely a backdrop.
To make a hero, it's not enough for someone to accomplish extraordinary deeds; media propaganda plays a crucial role.
And Alexandrovich had exactly that.
Lebrov-controlled 1+1 TV Channel, with the highest viewership ratings in Ukraine, even surpassed the national television channels.
Martin, looking out of the car window, said, "Although Alexandrovich isn't tall, he has a strong sense of justice."
Lebrov defined him outright, "He's a hero."
Martin wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, he's a hero now and will be in the future."
"It's time for the TV channel to interview him." Lebrov took out his mobile phone and made a call.
Very soon, a female reporter appeared in front of the camera, first interviewing the national security officer.
Having stumbled upon a significant achievement, the officer was very media-savvy and said, "We received a report of a gang abducting Ukrainian women and committing economic fraud, potentially threatening national security. Tonight, we took decisive action and dismantled this gang, rescuing two kidnapped women on the spot."
At that point, Nicky and Ivanna, escorted by two female police officers, walked out of the cafe, perfectly captured by the camera lens.
"In truth, we haven't done much, merely responding to reports and making arrests." The officer pulled Alexandrovich over, "Mr. Alexandrovich provided us with detailed information. His contribution was essential in apprehending these criminals and rescuing the two female victims."
The reporter quickly switched her interview target, "Mr. Alexandrovich, how did you become aware of these criminals?"
Alexandrovich glanced at the Hummer across the street, mustered his confidence, and said, "These criminals, posing as Hollywood scouts, made contact with the contestants of the Saintess Pop Group audition, intending to lure them. I noticed on time, mobilized the security personnel of the show crew, monitored them covertly, and thus tracked their movements..."
Choosing his words to highlight his own role, yet sticking to what he could share, he detailed the experience earnestly, warning, "For instance, in recruitment of actors or models, one must be extremely cautious. You can never be too careful. I have this feeling that there are more to these criminals, not just these few, not just two victims—there could be many more."
The reporter nodded in agreement.
Alexandrovich exclaimed loudly, "If you encounter a similar situation, or know someone who has gone abroad to become a model or actor and is unreachable, please contact the police or the Security Bureau immediately!"
The brief interview concluded, and the Security Bureau and Dmitro, leading Andre and his group, left first.
Afterwards, Alexandrovich got into the Hummer.
Martin encouraged, "Great job, after the news airs, you'll be a hero."
Lebrov added, "Dmitro briefly interrogated someone. They weren't just targeting our contestants; there are other aspects too. It seems a group was preparing to ship from the Black Sea to Los Angeles."
Martin nodded slightly, "This could make a series of programs. Alexandrovich, keep following this lead; I believe you'll unearth even more."
Alexandrovich felt a sense of responsibility and a strong desire to speak out, "I'll keep an eye on it."
Lebrov pointed to the departing Security Bureau vehicles, "Shall we follow them and have a look?"
Martin, being self-aware, responded, "As a foreigner, it might be inappropriate for me, right?"
Lebrov thought about it and indeed, it made sense, saying, "I'll inform you the moment there's news."
Martin went straight back to his hotel.
Alexandrovich and Lebrov then went to wait for news from the Security Bureau.
With the Security Bureau's powerful memory techniques, they could make Andre and his group recall things like peeping at the neighbor girl bathing as children.
...
Kiev Inter-State Hotel.

Under the cover of night, Lynch packed his bags, slung them over his shoulder, left his room, went downstairs, exited the hotel, and walked towards the nearby American Embassy.
Tonight, Andre and his group were to take action. Even with confidence in abundance, Lynch remained extremely cautious.
If anything went awry, these people could be sacrificed, but he could not afford to be stranded in Ukraine.
Lynch arrived at the embassy, made a phone call, waited a bit, then went to the entrance, presented his credentials, and entered the embassy.
Once Andre confirmed success, he would return to the hotel normally the next day.
On the other side, the Security Bureau and Dmitro, in less than an hour, pried open the mouths of Andre and his people, obtaining many shocking pieces of news.
Alexandrovich, along with the staff from 1+1 TV Channel, followed the Security Bureau onto a helicopter, heading straight for the Black Sea port city of Osad to rescue the women and children held there.
Another team processed their paperwork and headed straight for the Kiev Inter-State Hotel.
They discreetly contacted the hotel's top management, who let a deputy head of the hotel's security department use a card to open the targeted room.
Seven or eight security agents burst in, only to find the room empty!
Clothes and luggage were left behind, but the person was gone.
They urgently reported to their superiors and expanded the search.
But the American man known as Lynch remained untraceable until dawn.
Inside the nearby embassy, Lynch woke up in the morning, checked his phone, and had not received a call from Andre.
