America 1919

Tonight, Washington is destined to be a sleepless city!

Countless FBI agents are frantically dispatched, and the rats hiding in the shadows of Washington are in trouble at this moment.

Named members of the syndicate have filled the interrogation rooms at the FBI headquarters.

This situation leaves those who are still unaware of the truth shocked.

Trey Layman was also brought into the interrogation room.

At this moment, Trey Layman first felt immense relief that he had sent out his subordinates to follow Tang Fei, and arranged for those two gunmen to be away, because given the current situation, even if he had delayed by just a quarter of an hour, they might also have been brought in!

After relief came immense worry!

Only now did he realize how terrifying Donnie's influence had become.

As he came in, he saw several family heads with absolute prestige in Washington being brought here, some were shouting, some were sitting quietly, and others were dejected.

These people used to be those who wielded power and influence in Washington; they had, to a certain extent, transcended being mere gang members because they mingled with high-ranking government officials.

But now all of them had become the interrogated criminals here.

Unable to sleep like them were the lawyers of Washington.

That very night, they all received calls from their clients, surprisingly being taken by FBI agents.

This situation first made the lawyers happy because with cases, they had extra income, especially as they were up against the FBI, which had risen to fame in recent years.

If they could intimidate the FBI by representing their clients, wouldn't their own reputation be established?

After realizing this, nearly every lawyer in the city sprang into action, flocking to the FBI headquarters.

Faced with this situation, Rhode Granger could only assign some people to deal with these lawyers.

Of course, some lawyers used their connections at this time and finally understood the specifics of the situation.

The head of the New Jersey Consortium, Donnie Block, was attacked after attending the President's banquet this evening. Such a situation not only did not deter them but made them more excited.

The conditions for fame were all but in place!

It should be known that after the incident of radium-containing products, Donnie Block's reputation in the United States had reached new heights.

If they could get involved in a case involving Donnie Block, wouldn't it mean they would become known to the entire American public?

Upon realizing this possibility, these lawyers endeavored to contact the families of those who were arrested, even if they had to waive fees for this case, they must be their lawyers.

It was precisely this situation that led to more and more lawyers appearing at the FBI headquarters.

The people arranged by Rhode Granger were already running out.

Morning!

A sleepless night left Rhode Granger with bloodshot eyes, sitting in his office, with two stacks of interrogation records in front of him. What drove Rhode Granger even more insane was the constant influx of interrogation records being delivered to his office!

Facing such a pile of interrogation records for the first time, Rhode Granger couldn't help but admire Edgar Hoover.

Putting aside their different camps, solely based on ability, Rhode Granger admired Edgar Hoover, for Edgar Hoover could always find the key points in a chaotic pile of case files in the shortest amount of time.

Just as Rhode Granger was pondering these things, Edgar Hoover arrived at his office.

"Director!"

Although their identities are now clarified, Rhode Granger still maintained surface respect for Edgar Hoover, standing up as Edgar Hoover entered.

Edgar Hoover sat opposite Rhode Granger and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me!"

Rhode Granger knew what Edgar Hoover was referring to, and although Donnie had previously mentioned in the hospital that it should have nothing to do with Edgar Hoover.

But that was merely speculation, not the result of a true investigation.

"Director, telling me about this won't help. I need to find out from these interrogation records who is targeting Mr. Block."

Edgar Hoover shrugged and replied, "Rhode, at this point, we must admit that the current workload is beyond your capacity. Because of the relationship between me and Mr. Block, you can't trust anyone in the FBI. If this continues, you won't be able to clear up this matter in the short term!"

Given the current complicated situation within the FBI, not only Edgar Hoover couldn't trust FBI personnel, Rhode Granger also couldn't. He couldn't be sure who was loyal to Edgar Hoover.

As a result, despite the immense manpower within the FBI in Washington, neither Edgar Hoover nor Rhode Granger could trust their people.

They could only assign routine work to them, but any critical issues would have to be handled personally.

Otherwise, it would not have been the case that Rhode Granger was personally reviewing these interrogation records!

"What do you mean, Director?" Rhode Granger asked.

Edgar Hoover said coldly, "Whoever did this clearly counted me in as well. This time, I'm not investigating this for Mr. Block's sake, but for my own innocence. I must prove my innocence to Mr. Block!"
