America 1919

Robert gave him a thumbs up! Inside the office, Donnie stared straight at Harry D'Agostino and asked, "Alright, Harry, as a friend, I hope you won't give me the runaround anymore. I need a definite answer. How exactly did the White House decide on this matter?" Harry D'Agostino pondered for a moment and then said, "OK, damn it, Donnie, I was actually hoping to gain more benefits from you, but as a friend, let me tell you, before I came here, the White House had already decided to stand by your side on this issue. You can rest assured. Later, I'll make a call to the White House, and we will ensure that damn Congress gets the interests they want, and you will be our most steadfast partner!" "Haha!" Donnie laughed loudly, "That's what I call a friend, Harry. In you I see what true friendship is all about. Since that's the case, naturally, I won't let you guys suffer any losses. You're my friend, Harding is also my friend, as are Coolidge, Andrew, and Albert—you are all my friends. Having received your friendship, it's only natural that I do some things for you!" Harry D'Agostino was taken aback. Just now, Donnie had seemed incredibly furious about the matter, so why this sudden change in attitude? But quickly, Harry D'Agostino understood. Donnie had just been asking for an attitude, a firm stance of standing together with Donnie. With that in place, Donnie... "Donnie, are you implying that you have a way to resolve this matter?" Harry D'Agostino looked at Donnie excitedly. If Donnie could resolve the threat without compromising with Congress, then the White House could take a much stronger stance towards Congress in the future! "Of course!" Donnie no longer concealed it, turned, walked to his desk, took out some documents from a drawer, and handed them to Harry D'Agostino, chuckling, "What do you think the reaction would be if the federal citizens saw these materials?" Harry D'Agostino took the documents from Donnie's hand and began to look through them. No sooner had he turned the first page than he revealed an ecstatic expression. "My God, Donnie, you're a genius. How on earth did you think to find these things? And how did you come across Coshek Kevin's dirt?" Donnie said proudly, "I believe everyone has their weaknesses, and Coshek Kevin is no exception. As for the dirt, it just happened to come my way. If not, I could create some comparable dirt for him!" Harry D'Agostino glanced at Donnie, then continued leafing through the materials, feeling an involuntary chill. He wondered if he had ever said anything like that, and at the same time, he wondered if Donnie had any dirt on him. These were questions for which Harry D'Agostino had no answers, but he was relieved that his partnership with Donnie had become tighter through this mutual probing. Moreover, after spending so much time together, he had come to understand Donnie's character. As long as it's a partner, Donnie wouldn't do anything unfavorable. Of course, he still needed to be careful in the future—after all, it wasn't good to have one's safety in the hands of someone else! "Harry, as these materials involve people you are even more familiar with and understand, do you have any objections if I decide to release them?" Donnie asked. Just as Harry D'Agostino was about to speak, he suddenly recalled something and warned, "Donnie, as a friend, I must remind you that you must not be the one to release this. Otherwise, you'll become the public enemy of the entire Congress." Donnie said, "I know. I've already been in touch with Bixir Mendy from the IRS, and I think he'll be very pleased to see this material!" Harry D'Agostino exclaimed in amazement, "You've already been in contact with someone from the IRS?" Donnie said, "When you have many friends, there are always many people willing to help you!" "That's true!" Harry D'Agostino said. "But I suppose Bixir Mendy wouldn't have the courage to release this information, would he?" Donnie chuckled, "I think he has the guts!" Harry D'Agostino thought for a moment, decided not to dwell on the issue any further, and continued, "Moreover, in regard to these materials, I think you can take them out. Of course, I also hope you can give me a copy. As for thanks, I'll skip it because we are friends, but I can help you with someone, like Nevin Byrd who's currently causing you trouble. I think I can make sure he spends the rest of his life in prison!" Donnie saw that what Harry D'Agostino had shown was exactly the photo of Coshek Kevin and Rudenessey Cecil kissing at the hotel room door, along with evidence of their stay in the same hotel. "Of course, if it's something my friend you requires, I have no problem with it!" Donnie had never intended to make the matter public; he wanted to stop the IRS's investigation of him, not to take an absolute stand against Congress. After all, he had shown these materials to make Harry D'Agostino owe him a favor on this issue! "Well, with these materials, I believe the IRS investigation against you will stop soon. Then there's another issue, Donnie, how do you plan to solve the current troubles with public opinion?"
