Bruce saw a puzzled expression on Donnie's face and asked, bewildered.
Donnie shook his head, "If we are speaking purely from the circumstances laid out, there naturally doesn't seem to be a problem, but the crux of the matter lies in the fact that you and I both know Ponzi has a very good friend in Atlantic City?"
A figure imdiately surfaced in Bruce's mind, and he said, "Are you talking about the Brigadier?"
"Exactly!" Ponzi secretly t with the Brigadier several tis in Atlantic City. To say there was no funny business going on between them, Donnie would definitely not believe it.
But now, the other party wanted to et with him. In this urgent situation, Donnie did not believe Ponzi could remain calm and not request a eting with the Brigadier.
The Brigadier's political clout was simply sothing current Donnie couldn't match!
"Is it possible that the Brigadier has also beco one of Ponzi's clients?"
Donnie looked at Bruce with a sowhat complicated expression and asked.
Apart from this possibility, Donnie could think of no other reason. Otherwise, given Ponzi's situation, he would definitely be wanting to et with the Brigadier at this ti.
"Impossible, right?" Bruce said in surprise, "The person you're talking about is the Brigadier, the forr King of Atlantic City. How could soone like that be deceived by Ponzi?"
"I'm increasingly convinced of this possibility!"
Donnie did not answer Bruce's question. In Donnie's opinion, no matter how smart a person is, they have their weaknesses, and the elderly are no exception.
In his previous life, those who sold pyramid sches and health products always saw the elderly as the easiest group to deceive!
"If it really is this possibility, $500,000 is way too little for what I've earned from Ponzi!"
Donnie couldn't help but complain.
If Ponzi really did deceive the Brigadier as well, based on the Brigadier's assets, Ponzi would certainly have a lot of cash on hand by now.
"No!" Donnie's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he imdiately asked Olden's n, "Where did you take Ponzi?"
"He's in the house in West District that you arranged," they replied.
Upon hearing this, Donnie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that if Olden took Ponzi to a police station and Ponzi had indeed deceived the Brigadier, Ponzi would be in danger now!
"Bruce, go to Robert right now and call Westglenn and Randy Powers. I'll wait for you at Olden's place!"
Bruce responded, "Okay!"
Afterward, Donnie and Bruce acted separately. Donnie took Olden's n and drove to West District first, while Bruce went to Scott's tavern to pick up Westglenn and Randy Powers.
By the ti Bruce and the others arrived, Donnie had just gotten out of the car, "Let's go in together."
Donnie had prepared an apartnt for Olden and the others. As Donnie pushed the door open and entered, he saw Ponzi sitting despondently on the couch, still confused by the current events unfolding around him.
When Ponzi saw Donnie walk in, his face imdiately showed an expression as if a savior had arrived.
The man sprang up from the couch, eager to rush over to Donnie, but this action was stopped by Olden.
"Donnie, Donnie, have you co to save ?"
Without responding to Ponzi's question, Donnie simply sat down on the couch. As Ponzi observed this action, he suddenly realized what was happening.
"It's you, this was all your doing, wasn't it?"
Donnie chuckled softly and said, "Mr. Ponzi, I bet you didn't expect to et again under such circumstances, did you?"
Although Donnie did not directly answer Ponzi's words, this response made it clear to Ponzi what Donnie ant. Your next read awaits at m v|l-e'-
"This is illegal detention! I'll sue you! I will definitely sue all of you!" Ponzi scread sowhat frantically.
Donnie laughed and said, "Dear Mr. Ponzi, I actually wanted to complint you on your intelligence, but why are you being foolish again? Let tell you very clearly, Olden and his team are indeed real Federal Agents, and as for your affairs... do you think Boston hasn't heard about your news yet?
Rest assured, I've already had my people deliver the latest edition of the Atlantic City Post to Boston at top speed.
By the ti you get to Washington, I'm sure that everything about you will have been investigated thoroughly in Boston!"
Donnie's words made Ponzi feel as if he had plumted into an abyss.
"No, you can't do this. Donnie, have you forgotten? There was a business cooperation between us. If I get caught, you won't get that money either. The federal governnt will definitely recover that money. This situation doesn't benefit you at all.
I can forgo the previous $500,000, just please spare my life!" Ponzi pleaded with Donnie.
At that mont, Donnie took a docunt from Dwight's hands and tossed it to Ponzi, saying with a smile, "Are you talking about this docunt?"
Dwight had been following Donnie's orders to observe Ponzi in recent days and had thoroughly investigated Ponzi's hiding place for docunts. After Ponzi was taken by Olden, Dwight sneaked into Ponzi's ho and took the docunt from his study.
It turned out that all of Ponzi's expenses in Atlantic City were paid by check, which was fortunate because Dwight could have also found so cash in his safe.
As Ponzi looked at the docunt in his hands, he realized everything. From the mont he arrived in Atlantic City, Donnie had been scheming against him.
