America 1919-Chapter 409 - 169. The Real Counterattack Begins (10,000-word chapter, continuing to repay the debt~)_6
"Speak up, what have you been hiding and letting Helen do? If there’s business to be done in New York, I could have handled it. The Roosevelt Family has much more influence there than the Taft Family!"
Donnie’s hands moved naturally to Alice’s hips, smiling as he spoke, "This matter is not suitable for the Roosevelt Family to get involved in. Not only is your family unsuitable, but the task Helen is doing in New York must be done in her own name, not on behalf of the Taft Family!"
Alice felt the warmth from Donnie’s large hands, the intimate gesture causing her cheeks to blush slightly, but she still angrily asked, "Didn’t we agree that we can’t have secrets until our business has a real outcome?"
Donnie chuckled lightly, "There are no secrets, it’s just that you’ve been busy dealing with Guli Beckman’s affairs lately, so I didn’t tell you about this matter!"
"So what in the world is it?" Alice persisted, "If you don’t tell me, I won’t bother with the Miss America stuff anymore and will follow you around every day!"
"OK, OK!" Donnie removed his hands from Alice’s hips, surrendering, "I can tell you, but so far, only four people know about this, so you have to keep it a secret, or else my loss would be at least 10 million US Dollars!"
"Do you still not trust me?" Alice asked with a hurt expression, but she didn’t forget to grab Donnie’s hands and put them back on her hips, making Donnie seriously doubt that her sorrow was just to cover up her embarrassment.

"Well, the matter is actually..."
.
The next day, after Helen learned about the time for a total counteroffensive between Atlantic City Post and Atlantic City Broadcast from Donnie, she left Atlantic City and headed to New York.
Alice continued to be busy with the Miss America affairs.
Donnie arrived at Block Tavern and met Robert, who had just come back from Elk Hills.
"Were there any mistakes in the operation?"
Donnie sat on the office sofa, foregoing pleasantries, and directly inquired of Robert.
Robert shook his head confidently, "No, there will be no evidence left of this matter!"
Donnie did not relax at this assurance and questioned Robert further, "No evidence, but what about the people involved in the operation?"
Robert said, "No issues there either. Richard Hengkel has already brought his family to Atlantic City, and we’ve been keeping a close watch. There’s no sign of anybody leaving. Although Pang Hawthorn no longer has a family, I’ve already brought him back to Atlantic City. And the families of the others are in Atlantic City too!"
It was then that Donnie finally showed a satisfied expression, "I just received a call from Rhode. He has been sent by Wendell to Teapot Dome to investigate, but Rhode’s name was not on the list of investigators Hoover gave me. Besides, Wendell has always been at odds with Hoover, and actually, he isn’t even the one in charge of this matter, so I suspect that Wendell must have already made contact with Harry Sinclair and others. This is the Bureau of Investigation’s separate team of investigators!"
Robert looked astonished, "Rhode can be sent out on assignments now?"
Rhode Granger, one of the twenty people Donnie dispatched, had not been with the Bureau of Investigation for very long.
Donnie explained, "Wendell has always been suppressed by Hoover within the Bureau, probably lacking capable people to rely on. And in this matter, I believe he wouldn’t trust the veterans either, as a veteran usually means someone more cunning, which is why he gave Rhode a chance!"
Robert then nodded in understanding, "I trust in the abilities of Vince and Randy. They won’t leave any loose ends. No matter who investigates, they won’t find out anything!"
Donnie leaned back on the sofa, "As long as nothing goes wrong with this matter, then there won’t be any issues with our plan!"
Since Robert was sent to Elk Hills on Donnie’s mission, he was not aware of Donnie’s next step and didn’t inquire when he saw Donnie decline to mention it.
At that moment, Mashang Evans came over.
"Boss, this is the location we’ve selected in New York for Atlantic City Broadcast. Please take a look!"
Mashang Evans handed Donnie some documents detailing the proposed office location after Atlantic City Broadcast’s relocation to New York.
Donnie glanced at them briefly before setting them aside, "Mashang, even though Atlantic City Broadcast is relocating to New York, its development strategy will not change. I hope you will lead American broadcasting to even greater glory and meet my expectations!"
Mashang Evans nodded excitedly. Although his position remained the same after Atlantic City Broadcast’s relocation to New York... there was no way to change it any further. After all, in Atlantic City Broadcast he was the most powerful man under Donnie.
But with the company in Atlantic City, he still had to obey Donnie’s commands at any time. However, once in New York, he would truly become a lord in his own right.
"Rest assured, boss, I will develop American broadcasting according to your plans!"

At this point, he couldn’t wait to change how he referred to Atlantic City Broadcast.
Donnie inwardly shook his head at this but still smiled and said, "Good, go ahead and handle these things!"
"Yes!"
After Mashang Evans left, Donnie said to Robert, "Take a trip to Columbia University and have Cameron look for suitable candidates. We need to train a successor for Mashang Evans!"
Clearly, Donnie had some doubts about Mashang Evans’s abilities.
In Donnie’s mind, Mashang Evans was a capable castle guard, but with Atlantic City Broadcast’s move to New York, he was needed for a much bigger role, and it was clear that Evans’s abilities were not up to the task!
And yet, the man was unaware of his limitations...
"Alright!"
Atlantic City Broadcast had not yet officially relocated to New York, and Helen had already arrived there.
Walker personally went to the station to meet her, "The account has been set up, ready to move at any time!"
