To be honest, Andy still has a lot of worries about his newspaper digging out this scandal. After all www.biquge.info Tom, an old fritter who has been in the political arena for decades, is not normal if he has no means. The most important thing is that the interests of the money laundering group are too big, and "The New York Observer" has directly overturned the table, cut off many people's financial routes, and made many people unhappy.

Andy is not really stupid to think that the freedom of the press propagated by the US imperialists is bullshit, Gary is not cold, the "Dark Alliance" in 96 made him offend the CIA, and was smeared by the mainstream media of the US imperialism at that time, which eventually led to the forced end of the journalist's career, just two years ago, that is, in 04, he committed a strange suicide at home.

And Moses, who reported the U.S. Jun scandal last year, was also imprisoned for a long time, and after he came out, he had to face an industry-wide ban.

Therefore, the freedom of the press of US imperialism is all bullshit, and most of the media are privately owned, manipulated by consortia and enterprises, and the ultimate goal of these giants in running media enterprises is to maximize their interests, and the profit-seeking nature of capital dooms its news media to be unable to get rid of the shackles and constraints of the interests of the capital group no matter what. It's like when Murdoch bought The Times, he demanded that editorials must listen to the boss's words, and disagreed with him.

Then there is the exchange of interests with Washington, the pressure of Zheng, and so on to influence the media and its behind-the-scenes bosses, through which the media bosses influence journalists and news reports, sometimes overtly, sometimes very covertly.

Andy, of course, understands this, after all, his purpose in reporting this scandal is not simple, but also for the benefit of the family.

So he paid close attention to the reaction in Washington, and locked in the live broadcast of the TV station in Washington all afternoon.

Sure enough, Tom chose to refute the rumors, looking at the old man with snow-white hair, and roaring loudly with a pale face This is slander, it is framed, Andy's brows furrowed, he knew that trouble was coming.

In the evening, Auston returned home a little embarrassed, with a tired face, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Andy with a gloomy face: "Tom chose to resist, and the negotiations with your grandfather collapsed, and now the elephants have lost trust in Tom, but he is very uninteresting, and may take risks, you should prepare early." ”

Andy was not nervous after hearing this, after all, a tiger without claws that had lost the overall strength of the elephant, although it was able to make a final counterattack, it was only a death struggle.

Andy sneered and said: "It's nothing more than using some of his hole cards, the media to launder the whitewash, and using the power to pressure and threaten the newspaper, it seems that it is going to be against the FBI." ”

On the morning of October 2, the weather was no longer important, and a team of more than a dozen people in black suits got off several Chevrolet business vehicles and quickly passed through the congested front door of the building for some reporters, with a nervous feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city.

However, to the surprise of the pair in black suits, their arrival did not cause panic among the staff of the New York Observer, but instead many cameras were aimed at them and constantly pressed the shutter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for you for a long time, our editor-in-chief is waiting for you in the conference room. A middle-aged fat man from the Mediterranean said to the two men in black and sunglasses in the lead with a strange smile.

The two detectives couldn't help but sink their hearts, glanced at each other, and led the two people to follow the fat man to the conference room, while the other remaining men in suits quickly scattered around the newspaper hall, silently looking at the surrounding newspaper employees.

When the door to the conference room was pushed open, the two agents in sunglasses were a little stunned by the formation inside.

Pete Kaplan sat in the middle, and behind him stood against the wall two tall and fierce men with cold faces, and on the right hand sat a row of people in suits with hair that seemed to have waxed, looking at them with a smile.

"You may be seated. With a warm smile on his face, Pete Kaplan got up from his position and pointed to the row of seats on the left, as if he didn't care who the other was, and was as enthusiastic as if he had seen a friend.

The flat-headed agent standing on the left took off his sunglasses, took out his ID from his pocket, and said indifferently: "We are the FBI, and we are here for the incident between Speaker Tom and the money laundering syndicate reported by your newspaper, and I hope that Mr. Kaplan can cooperate with our investigation and tell us the relevant evidence and the informant who provided clues... ”

Pete Kaplan pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled back at the five well-dressed JING-young people behind him.

A sneer appeared on the corner of the mouth of one of the middle-aged men wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked out of the crowd, stared at the agent who opened his mouth with slightly squinted eyes, and said: "I am the chief lawyer of the lawyer group of the New York Observer, and my client has the right to refuse your request!"

"You... The leading agent had a constipated expression on his face, knowing that people don't like him at all, the FBI is sometimes a great deterrent to some people, but it's not bullshit for people with strong backgrounds and who haven't committed crimes, the United States imperialism is still a money society, and it is also a country with a legal system, and the rich people play the rules, and everyone is naturally no problem playing under this framework, if one of them wants to play something, everyone is not bad for money, who is afraid of whom.

This time, they came out to trouble the "Observer" newspaper and put pressure on the newspaper, and everyone understood who used the strength of their people, but they just ordered from above, and they carried it out, but they didn't expect that the newspaper office had been waiting for them to come to the door for a long time, and they punched the cotton and suffocated internal injuries.

"It's about money laundering syndicates, we need to have conclusive evidence to arrest the suspects, we need to remind you that these evidence clues are very important now, and the news needs to be blocked, once it leaks, let the suspects know in advance and flee abroad, we will prosecute you for obstructing official business!" said another leading agent with a cold face.

The glasses lawyer just wanted to refute with an unkind face, but Pete Kaplan smiled and waved his hand to stop: "It's not a way for everyone to stand like this, let's sit down and talk first." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and then sat back in his seat with the lawyers of the lawyer's team, looking at the two agents who were looking at each other with a smile on his face.

The two lead agents knew that they could not forcibly take people away, so they could only walk to the other side and sit down in silence.

Pete Kaplan's face suddenly straightened, and he said seriously: "According to the press freedom law, our newspaper has the right to protect the informant who provided me with clues, of course, under the premise of not endangering national security, this matter must not involve national security now, all, I'm sorry, your request to our newspaper refuse!"

The faces of the two detectives turned black all of a sudden, before they came, they were instructed by their bosses to get the evidence in their hands, control the informant, and see what Pete Kaplan meant, this is nothing to talk about, the two stood up abruptly and began to speak first The detective reached out and took out a document from his suit pocket, unfolded it and showed it to Pete, and said in a cold voice: " This is the summons document, and now we need Mr. Kaplan and I to go to our headquarters to cooperate in the investigation of the money laundering syndicate, and we need to seal all the documents and evidence related to the case... ”

Pete Kaplan squinted slightly at the summons document in the other party's hand, and looked back at the chief lawyer who was frowning, the other party was about to say that he refused to cooperate with the investigation, after all, this is the right of US imperialist citizens.

At this moment, a triangular intercom placed on the conference room table made a voice, "Pete, you can go with them, or you can give them a copy of the evidence, and your safety Kenny and Dolby will guarantee it! Talk to the deputy editor-in-chief Henry, add a special issue, publish all the documents and evidence about this scandal, and let the newspaper employees work overtime, and see the newspaper tomorrow morning, and tell them that they will pay 1,000 dollars per person for overtime, and Albert will leave the rest of the matter to you, and do it according to legal procedures, so be it!"

As soon as the voice fell, I heard the sound of hanging up the phone in the intercom, and the conference room was strangely quiet for dozens of seconds, Pete Kaplan first stood up and said: "You also heard it, I can go to your headquarters with you to cooperate with the investigation, but the news will still be reported tomorrow morning!"

"No, you can't do that ... One of the agents shouted angrily, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a lawyer named Albert sneering, "We can! We have the right to do this!"

"At the same time, my client only cooperates with your investigation, has the right to remain silent, the evidence has been agreed to give you a copy, you still have enough time to identify and arrest the suspect, all our newspaper has fulfilled its obligations, and we refuse to cooperate with all other unreasonable requests!" Albert sneered and looked at the other party's changing expression, and said in a stiff tone.

The two FBI agents looked at each other speechlessly, and they also guessed who the owner of the voice on the intercom was just now, Andy Smith, the owner behind the newspaper, the youngest billionaire, and the grandson of the director of the Congressional Appropriations Committee Sr. Smith.

Thinking of the gray-haired, always smiling old Smith, the two couldn't help but shudder, Nima, if you offend this person, the FBI will really only be able to eat bran in the future.

Before they came, they had learned about the situation of the newspaper and Andy Smith, and they thought they were all fans of elephants, and they wouldn't do anything about it, maybe there was really a talk about it, but now it seems that the water here is a bit deep, and Andy Smith didn't pay attention to their meaning at all, and directly flipped the table and angrily scolded them, this is the rhythm of completely pulling Tom off the horse and then burying him alive.
