"Ah!" Jiaorou exclaimed, and her figure fell backwards.

Li Zitao reacted quickly and reached out his hand, grabbing the other person's waist to prevent her from falling.

Oval face, devilish waist, standard golden ratio.

His chest was straight and proud, and his sky-blue eyes were flashing with surprise.

Using his arms to keep her balanced, Li Zitao asked with a smile: "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay." The girl probably recognized her and looked a little nervous.

Looking behind him, Li Zitao asked in confusion: "What's your name? This is a men's bathhouse. If you want to take a bath, you should be over there."

In order to avoid some bloody incidents, the company's men's and women's bathrooms are far apart. The women's bathroom needs to go to the end, turn around and walk another two to three hundred meters.

"I, I'm here to see you, Mr. Charlie." Seeing the confusion on his face, Alice explained: "My name is Alice, and I am the assistant to Secretary-General Aoni."

Oni Langley, Secretary General of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"It turns out to be Aoni's person." Li Zitao raised his hand and said with a smile, "If it's not urgent, can you let me put the clothes in the washing machine first?"

"Of course." Alice nodded hurriedly: "That, I can help you."

"Let's get together!"

The duplex building has its own public laundry, which is not a coin-operated one, but similar to the ones run by Chinese or Italians.

It needs to be registered, managed by dedicated personnel, and cleaned according to needs.

The only difference is that you don't need to spend money to wash clothes here.

"Thank you." After handing the clothes to the other party, Li Zitao took Alice away and asked by the way, "Oni asked you to come, what can I do?"

"Miss Oni said that she wants to know when the investigation will be concluded. SHIELD's mission will be affected, which is very detrimental to the company's reputation."

"Some customers were implicated in the investigation because of the special guards they hired, and their schedules were delayed, causing financial losses. The other party said they would make a complaint accordingly."

Alice is very serious when it comes to her work and has put down her nervousness about facing the big boss.

"I apologize to the other party and take the initiative to provide compensation." Li Zitao made a straightforward decision.

At this time, we must pay attention to external influences and not give the other party any more reasons or opportunities to create more trouble for SHIELD.

Alice quickly wrote down the notes in a notebook. To maintain stability, the notebook was placed on her chest, hoping to reduce trembling.

Unfortunately, she seems to have found the wrong tool to borrow money.

"Okay." Li Zitao signaled her not to remember it anymore and said, "I will make time to go there, just today."

Watching the elevator door close, Alice put down the notebook in her hand and lowered her head with confusion in her eyes.

Knowing that she had the opportunity to meet the big boss, she deliberately wore the sexiest clothes and unbuttoned two buttons on her chest.

With her figure and appearance, shouldn't she be forcibly taken over by him?

Why did the rumored lustful ghost show no reaction to me?

For a time, Alice doubted her own charm.

At noon, Li Zitao finally received a call back from Lawrence; "Freemason has a plan to recruit you, but there are huge differences at the moment. He is lying."

Upon hearing the news, Li Zitao felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"Thank you, I understand." No matter what, at least he gained a lot this time. It was also good news to know that he was in the selection process of the top men's team.

Since there was no pressure from Freemason, Hoover's threat was much smaller to him.

"Where are the rest of the photos?" As soon as Li Zitao asked, Tia walked out with a box filled with photos about Hoover.

There are strip clubs, bars, private meetings and joints.

Once these photos are released, they will deal a fatal blow to him.

Those who have been threatened by him, including those who have been controlled by him, will not let go of this rare opportunity.

"Let Danny deliver it to him personally. He will know what to do." With the boss's instructions, the next thing will be easy to handle.

Danny ran to the hotel himself and handed the box to Hoover.

When he called Qinghua Mansion again, all he heard was a repeated sentence: 'Mr. Charlie is on a business trip, and the specific itinerary is confidential.'

That afternoon, the FBI's assistance to the Un-American Commission was completely suspended.

McCarthy did not believe the news was true and asked to speak to Hoover personally.

But all he got was: 'The director is on a business trip and the itinerary will be kept confidential!'

Without the assistance of the FBI, the shortcomings of the Un-American Commission were immediately exposed.

The shortcomings of insufficient manpower have further plunged the Un-American Commission into a quagmire, and a large number of investigations currently underway have been shelved.

Those who were summoned suddenly found that the jerks who used to harass them every day were missing.

McCarthy wanted to use the police power of various states and counties, but was met with resistance and lack of cooperation.

On the surface, the local police department promised very well, but in actual actions, there was no progress at all.

In particular, the investigation into Li's family and its related industries has come to a standstill, with the police not even bothering to make any gestures.

Li Zitao's care and donations over the years to Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and local police departments related to industries cannot be offset by a single order.

The police officers are equipped with weapons developed by Aegis, drive police cars donated by Aegis, and receive various subsidies and retirement protections donated by the Lees.

Now let them turn their guns towards each other. How can they do it easily?

Even if the police chiefs are willing, the frontline police officers below are not.

More importantly, in their view, the investigation by the Un-American Commission is unfair and clearly targeted and discriminatory.

It doesn't feel like work, but like settling a personal grudge.

As a result, no one wanted to get involved, and McCarthy's plan failed again.

McCarthy's life was difficult, and Hoover's side was equally uneasy.

The accountability from Jefferson made him feel like a scolded dog. The anger in his heart was building up and overflowing, and he was almost unable to suppress it.

"Why can't he be absorbed into the organization? In this case, all problems will be solved." Hoover asked, suppressing his inner displeasure.

"These are not your concerns." The person on the other side of the phone interrupted him rudely and said in a commanding tone: "Continue to cooperate with McCarthy's actions."

"Sorry, I can't do it." Hoover said stiffly.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" The other party's tone became stern and cold.

Hoover took a deep breath and said forcefully: "Yes, I know exactly what I am talking about. If you have any opinions, you can raise them at the next meeting and let the committee decide."

Without giving the other party a chance to continue, Hoover hung up the phone.

Walking back and forth in the office with a solemn expression, Hoover felt deeply uneasy.

Although he rejected the other party's request, he knew very well the energy that the other party could exert. Next, he needed to find new strength to ensure that his position would not be shaken.

Hoover, who was walking back and forth, stopped, turned around, came to the desk, and opened the locked drawer.

Looking at the piles of photos inside, Hoover struggled with his expression and finally closed the door firmly.
Chapter completed!
