America 1919-Chapter 1090 - 372, Breakup_3

Edgar Hoover sat in his office, with a handgun placed in front of him.

Just as Donnie understood Edgar Hoover, Edgar Hoover also understood Donnie. After failing to take William Bailey away, the relationship between himself and Donnie had completely broken down.

He didn’t know how Donnie would deal with him, but he knew Donnie would no longer want to see him in this position.

"Angela, come to my office!"

Edgar Hoover dialed a number.

Soon, a man of a similar age to Edgar Hoover entered his office. This man was Angela Cohen.

He was a classmate of Edgar Hoover’s at the Bureau of Investigation’s training class, and they had been close friends since childhood.

Rhode Granger said Edgar Hoover would never fully trust anyone, which was correct, but if there was someone who could earn the utmost trust of Edgar Hoover, it would definitely be Angela Cohen!

After experiencing Rhode Granger’s betrayal, Edgar Hoover could no longer trust others.

"What happened?"

Angela Cohen, upon seeing the gun on Edgar Hoover’s desk, asked with a slightly changed expression.

"Angela, just now..."

Edgar Hoover recounted the events that had just transpired to Angela Cohen in detail.

After listening, Angela Cohen also understood why Edgar Hoover was in his current state.

"What do you need me to do?" Angela Cohen asked directly without any words wasted.

"I need you to investigate two things!" Edgar Hoover said seriously, "However, while investigating these two matters, I can’t assign you any manpower because I can no longer trust anyone in the entire FBI. You have to investigate these two things on your own."

Angela Cohen asked in surprise, "Is Donnie Block’s influence that significant?"

Edgar Hoover replied calmly, "I know Donnie Block; he’s not someone who does things without preparation. Previously, when I became the FBI Director, Rhode Granger appeared beside me. Now that Rhode Granger has shown himself, I believe there must be others within the FBI we don’t know about. It could be one person or several people, but we can’t determine who it is, so we have to suspect everyone!"

Angela Cohen nodded and said, "I understand what you mean! What are the two things you want me to investigate?"

Edgar Hoover said, "First, investigate the cause of George Kurle’s death from years ago; at that time, Donnie didn’t have many people around him, so he might have been directly involved in this matter. Second, investigate what Steve Cotting, one of Donnie Block’s subordinates, is doing in Europe!"

Angela Cohen felt overwhelmed; one matter happened several years ago, and the other is taking place in Europe.

Not to mention that it’s just him now, even with a team, it wouldn’t be easy to uncover these two matters in a short time!

"Donnie Block is extremely cautious; even I can’t uncover many things. But as long as we get to the bottom of one of these matters, we can turn the situation around!"

Edgar Hoover also understood how difficult it would be to unravel these two matters.

But he had no choice. By now, Edgar Hoover understood that outsiders couldn’t be relied upon; only by holding the truly damning evidence himself could he be absolutely sure!

"Atlantic City has been fortified tightly by Donnie. If I rashly enter Atlantic City to investigate this matter, I will definitely be discovered by Donnie’s men.

Europe might be simpler, but what if I can’t be in two places at once?"

Angela Cohen knew very well that he had to explain all matters thoroughly now; otherwise, giving Edgar Hoover the wrong information could push them both to the brink.

Edgar Hoover rose and went to his office safe, opening it to reveal stacks of cash inside. He took out 500,000 US Dollars!

"While I can’t use FBI personnel, I can use outsiders. I don’t believe Donnie can control everyone!"

Angela Cohen did not stand on ceremony, knowing that to complete these two tasks, a large amount of cash was indeed necessary.

"If I leave here, what about your safety?"

Edgar Hoover pondered, "It should be safe for the time being. In my position, Donnie still needs to hold back for a bit, and besides, Donnie now has to deal with the radium items issue, so he doesn’t have time to target me for the time being!"

Angela Cohen said, "If they get hold of William Bailey’s research data, they’ll be able to quickly produce a complete research report, which means the radium products issue won’t last long!"

Edgar Hoover nodded and said, "I know. Now we have to race with Donnie; I’ll also be making contacts in Washington. Taking me down isn’t an easy task for Donnie!"

Angela Cohen sighed and said, "Alright then, I won’t say anything more. I’ll go handle this matter now!"

After speaking, Angela Cohen picked up the cash on the table, ready to leave Edgar Hoover’s office.

Just as Angela Cohen reached the door of Edgar Hoover’s office, Edgar Hoover’s voice came from behind.

"Angela, can I trust you?"

"You have no choice but to trust me!"
