America 1919-Chapter 1088 - 372, Rupture

The sudden appearance of American soldiers in the scene surprised everyone in the room.

But immediately, Rhode Granger, who was being controlled, let out a happy laugh. Although he didn’t recognize the colonel leading the group, he knew this person must have been arranged by Donnie.

Rhode Granger’s laughter made Edgar Hoover extremely annoyed, but he suppressed his anger and approached the colonel.

"I am FBI Director Edgar Hoover. Who are you? Do you know the offence of obstructing the FBI’s investigation?"

The colonel smiled indifferently: "I am the adjutant of General John Hines, sent under the general’s orders to take this person back to our army headquarters. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly protest to my superior General John Hines, or to the White House."

Edgar Hoover was dumbfounded. He knew that Donnie had very good relations with the U.S. Army, but he hadn’t expected it to be so good that they would actually send someone to stop him!

"This person is involved in a crime against the state, which falls under our FBI’s jurisdiction. I cannot hand this person over to you!"

Since Edgar Hoover had already made a choice before, he naturally knew that today he had to take William Bailey away, so he didn’t want to hand over the person now.

"I said, no matter what reason you have, you can protest to the White House or my superior General Haines, but now I must take this person away. If you refuse, we have the right to shoot!"

At this point, with a command from the colonel, the people he brought immediately raised their rifles.

"Director, you’ve lost!" Rhode Granger said at this moment, "If you back down now, we can still meet again in the future. But if you persist, the consequences of this matter are beyond what you or the people behind you can bear!"

Edgar Hoover’s face was ashen. Just as Rhode Granger said, Edgar Hoover knew he had lost again this time.

Because these people really dared to shoot.

Under absolute suppression, Edgar Hoover had his people release Rhode Granger and William Bailey. He walked up to Rhode Granger: "Rhode, Evans is about to retire soon. I think you can take his place and become the deputy director of the FBI!"

Evans, one of the deputy directors of the FBI, still had two years left in his term.

Rhode Granger showed a respectful expression once more: "Thank you, Director!"

"Let’s go!" Edgar Hoover led his team away.

Rhode Granger then came up to the colonel: "Colonel, thank you very much for coming over at this time!"

The colonel smiled and said: "You’re welcome, I’m just following orders. However, it’s no longer safe here. Why don’t you relocate?"

"I was thinking the same thing!"

Rhode Granger replied. Although Edgar Hoover had left for now and had shown compromise through him to Donnie in this matter, Rhode Granger was unsure if Edgar Hoover would come back for another surprise attack.

So under the colonel’s lead, Rhode Granger moved William Bailey to another safe house!

At the same time, Donnie was giving General John Hines a call to express his gratitude!

"General Haines, thank you very much for your timely intervention. I think by now they should have completed the transfer of the prisoner over there!"

When Donnie received a call from Edgar Hoover, he had Alice, who was in his room, go to another room and call General John Hines in his name, asking him to immediately send people to Rhode Granger’s safe house.

This was also why Donnie deliberately delayed the conversation with Edgar Hoover earlier.

Edgar Hoover was ultimately too arrogant, assuming that in Washington, no one would oppose him, so he didn’t notice Donnie’s actions at that moment.

"Mr. Block, you are too polite. As a friend, of course, I must stand by your side!" General John Hines laughed heartily.

Donnie said: "By the way, Venus Bank recently has a project focused on investing in the machinery field. However, as you know, many entrepreneurs in the United States are looking to expand their business on Wall Street, and so this project couldn’t find the right people to invest. If General Haines knows of any young talent in this regard, you could tell them to try Venus Bank!"

General John Hines’ son was recently dabbling in some machinery business.

"Heavy industry is the backbone of a country’s development. If the businessmen in the United States were all like you, Mr. Block, the beautiful union would surely be more prosperous!"

General John Hines understood Donnie’s implication!

The two then ended their call.

"I didn’t expect that Edgar Hoover would actually choose to oppose you!" Alice, sitting opposite Donnie, said with some surprise.

She knew that it was with Donnie’s support that Edgar Hoover became the director of the FBI.

"It was my carelessness that almost ruined the whole affair!" Donnie sighed, "Some people just can’t stand being subordinate to anyone!"

The sudden intervention of Edgar Hoover made Donnie completely rethink his stance towards Edgar Hoover.

"But right now, the FBI is still very strong. Do you think after this incident, Edgar Hoover will do anything harmful to you?" Alice asked Donnie worriedly.
