Chapter 1127: 385. Someone wants to pick peaches
The atmosphere in Donnie's study was somewhat quiet.
Edgar Hoover looked seriously at Donnie, knowing that what followed would be Donnie's judgment on him!
Donnie was also pondering how to deal with Edgar Hoover.
This was a very complicated matter.
After thinking for a long time, Donnie said to Edgar Hoover, "Two choices."
Edgar Hoover felt a sense of melancholy inside, as he roughly guessed what choices Donnie would give him.
"The first choice, you can choose to trust yourself, or John Garner, or someone else, and continue to stay as the director of the FBI, but I will immediately unleash my power to bring you down, and you won't survive!"
"The second choice, tomorrow you voluntarily resign from the position of the FBI director, and I'll arrange a place for you, where you can stay until I thoroughly investigate this matter, to find out who is really behind this. If you're truly not involved, I'll let you go and give you some money to ensure a worry-free life for the rest of your days!"
After speaking, Donnie leaned back on the sofa, waiting for Edgar Hoover's answer.
Dealing with Edgar Hoover was already set in stone. Since he chose to openly oppose Donnie, Edgar Hoover definitely could not remain in that position.
At the same time, having Edgar Hoover resign now was also out of consideration for him. Donnie wanted to leave him confused, thinking he had effectively deceived him into believing in their plan and pinning all suspicion solely on Edgar Hoover.
Edgar Hoover sighed. As expected, the two choices Donnie gave him were exactly what he had anticipated.
He didn't doubt Donnie's words. At this point, Edgar Hoover understood that he had become a pawn, and moreover, an abandoned one. At this moment, he had no power at all to contend with Donnie.
After figuring this out, Edgar Hoover nodded with a desolate expression and said, "I choose the second option!"
Hearing Edgar Hoover's response, Donnie showed a satisfied smile and said, "Very good, if that's the case, I hope you can hand over all your subordinates at the FBI to Rhode Granger."
Since Edgar Hoover had already decided to exit this game, naturally, he had no other thoughts now.
"No problem, I'll handle that as soon as I get back!"
At this point, Edgar Hoover fell into contemplation, as there was still one matter he hadn't told Donnie, and he was considering whether or not to disclose it.
After pondering for a long time, Edgar Hoover realized that there was no need to continue with this matter.
So he spoke to Donnie, "Mr. Block, there's one more thing I think you should know!"
Donnie smiled and asked, "What is it?"
Edgar Hoover told Donnie about the issue with Angola Cohen.
After hearing it, Donnie smiled, not giving much heed to Angola Cohen investigating him. Those involved in taking down George Kurle were the closest to him, coupled with their current statuses, Angola Cohen couldn't find any information. As for matters in Europe, Donnie was even less worried.
Because even if they found out, it would have no impact on his plans.
Nevertheless, Edgar Hoover mentioning this did prove that he was indeed ready to step down quietly!
"Fine, you can call him and bring him back!"
Even though he wasn't concerned about these things, Donnie still preferred not to have anyone investigate him.
Edgar Hoover nodded.
After ending the conversation with Edgar Hoover, he left Donnie's study feeling dejected, fully aware that this departure marked his complete exit from the stage of history.
Donnie watched Edgar Hoover's departing figure with some regret.
This was a person possessed with absolute capability, but unfortunately, his greed was insatiable, attempting to challenge Donnie's authority while still budding, which might have been Edgar Hoover's most crucial misstep!
In fact, before this, Donnie had thought about bringing Edgar Hoover into United States Logistics after removing him from the position of FBI director, but after consideration, he gave up on that idea.
This person was indeed capable, but his ambition was too great. Moreover, he had already once betrayed Donnie, and Donnie couldn't be sure he wouldn't betray him a second time!
Donnie called for Randolph Roman.
"Find a few from among our most skilled trackers, and have them follow John Garner for 24 hours. I want to know his every move!"
Previously, Donnie felt that pointing this matter at John Garner seemed too obvious, as if deliberately letting himself see John Garner.
However, Donnie couldn't let go of this lead.
Donnie was determined to find out who was trying to ambush him!
"Additionally, prepare 500,000 US Dollars in cash for me!"
Donnie continued instructing Randolph Roman.
Now that Edgar Hoover was set to resign from his position as FBI director, it was time for Donnie to pave the way forward for Rhode Granger.
Although Rhode Granger's appointment as FBI director would be somewhat of a leap from his current position at the FBI, Donnie believed that under the offensive of the US Dollar, these issues wouldn't be problems!
