Miss President wants to talk to you

This reaction was like a bucket of cold water poured over Wilkes's head.

His restless heart gradually cooled down.

"W-What's wrong, Mr. Robert?"

Wilkes couldn't understand why he would share such an important secret with Robert.

The original wax plate was also brought along.

But why didn't Robert immediately make the decision and start taking action as expected?

I have offered myself to you with all my heart, why do you hesitate?

After a long silence.

Robit finally spoke.

"Wilkes".

He said coldly, "Do I look like a fool?"

Wilkes was stunned.

Why would you say such a thing?

"why?"

Robert sneered, "You have a recording you got from who-knows-where, and you want me to bet my life on you?"

"How would I know that you didn't find two actors with similar voices to perform a radio drama here?"

"You said the conversation inside is between the president and Hopkins, how can you prove that?"

"Wilks, I know you have some tricks up your sleeve and often manage to uncover many people's secrets."

"But I really don't believe you can eavesdrop all the way to the White House!"

Are all the FBI agents a bunch of incompetent fools?

This……

Upon hearing Robert's question, Wilkes suddenly awoke from his reverie.

Yes.

He realized that Robert's perspective was completely different from his own.

The information obtained will naturally be different.

Robert was unaware of his special eavesdropping skills, so he completely disbelieved the recording.

They even mistook Wilkes for a fraudster who was only there to make a quick buck.

Fortunately, Wilkes had already realized this situation.

“Mr. Robert, of course you don’t have to believe me! After all, the origin of this recording is hard to explain.”

Wilkes did not choose to disclose his wiretapping methods.

This is tantamount to losing your means of livelihood.

"But the evidence that Gus has is real."

Wilkes said, "As long as we can find Gus, everything I said before will be proven true."

"Mr. Robert, I sincerely beg you to help me this time."

"It's just about finding someone; consider it an investment."

"I will reward you handsomely once this is accomplished!"

Wilkes has shown the most sincere attitude he has ever had.

However, Robit still shook his head.

"Wilks, why won't you give up until you see the Mississippi River?"

He said, "Since you insist on this, then let me ask you."

"This recording mentions that Gus was Rosef's driver for many years. Do you know what that means?"

What does it represent?

Wilkes certainly understood.

Gus, representing Rosef, was one of the most trusted people in Rosef's family.

Throughout history, any great person has always placed absolute importance on the two positions held by their side.

That was the driver and the cook.

Only those who are absolutely trusted will be appointed.

Gus's loyalty to Rosef's driver for so many years has already been proven.

How could they suddenly betray us?

Wilkes hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's because Gus still has some idealism or patriotism in his heart?"

"He couldn't bear to see Rosef betray the Federation, and after a long period of torment from his conscience, he chose to stand up for her?"

This is already a relatively reasonable explanation.

But he still couldn't completely convince Robit.

If this is true, then it's definitely worth a try.

But Robert didn't believe that such a good thing could happen.

It sounds like a trap.

He wanted to refuse Wilkes, but seeing the other's determined look, he swallowed his words.

Robitt considered a possibility.

"No matter how much I try to persuade you, you won't give up, right?"

He asked, "Even if I reject you now, will you go to someone else until someone supports you?"

Wilkes nodded.

He will certainly persevere and will never give up this great opportunity.

really.

Robert thought to himself that there were already quite a few idiots in the Confederate States of America.

If those people and Wilkes hit it off and did something unpredictable and foolish, it would be difficult to clean up the mess afterwards.

Rather than doing that, it's better to take control yourself.

"In that case, what else can I say?"

Robert sighed, "Wilks, I'm willing to help you."

"But I'm only helping you find the person. I won't get involved in anything after that, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Upon hearing this, Wilxton was overjoyed.

You're not going to participate?

I was actually worried about you getting involved!

"Thank you, Mr. Robert!"

Wilkes exclaimed excitedly, "Your generosity will not be in vain! I will certainly repay your kindness!"

Robert shook his head and did not respond.

What's this talk about repaying a debt of gratitude?

If you cause trouble in the future, just don't mention my name.

Wilkes thanked them profusely and eventually left the mansion.

Once the other person left, Robert's expression changed instantly.

He summoned his butler.

"Go prepare the materials."

He said, "All the materials about Wilkes! If he causes irreparable consequences, we'll immediately report him to the federal government, saying we've been investigating him all along!"

The steward obeyed and immediately went to prepare.

This is true wisdom for survival.

Robert would certainly help Wilkes.

But we will also be prepared to betray him at any time.

……

the next morning.

Several orders were issued from the manor.

The first to receive the news were the southern managers of several railway companies.

The call was made personally by Robert's secretary, who asked them to keep an eye on someone.

Subsequently, the relevant information was sent to the various companies.

Inside was a photo of Gus and some basic identification information.

Gus's identity was not a secret before, and it was not difficult to find out.

The command was clear.

If Gus buys a ticket or if anyone sees him at the station, he should immediately report it to the Southern United Power Company.

The person in question must not be alerted, nor should the local police be notified.

A few hours later, the same photo appeared at the ticket office of the long-distance bus station.
