Chapter 1365: Chapter 469: Mexico’s Future
On Donnie’s yacht, including Donnie himself, there were over five hundred people. Apart from the yacht’s staff, Donnie’s entourage, there was also a security team of four hundred people.
In such circumstances, the daily necessities on the yacht were enormous.
If relying solely on the yacht’s cargo reserves, it would certainly not be enough, so every three days there was a procurement activity, and in Acapulco, people would deliver the necessary items to the yacht.
Secondly, there were the Mexican women. Every night, a dozen local Mexican women would board the yacht, and by dawn, they would be sent back ashore.
Lastly, those who could board Donnie’s yacht were the Mexican businessmen invited by Donnie.
Levin Peters stood in front of Donnie, his face heavy with concern, "Boss, although we don’t yet know who passed this information to us, it’s clear that Monroe has already taken action. Even though they don’t have the courage to do anything to you, staying here isn’t a safe option. I suggest we depart as soon as possible and return to U.S. waters, which would greatly increase our safety!"
Donnie wasn’t someone who would gamble with his life. After hearing Levin Peters’ words, Donnie also understood that their business was almost done. So he told Levin Peters, "Then give the order to set sail!"
Having received Donnie’s response, Levin Peters was very pleased. Although he was confident in ensuring Donnie’s safety, fewer dangerous situations were always better!
Levin Peters immediately gave the order to leave the area.
The news of Donnie’s departure quickly reached Mexico City, which bewildered those tracking Donnie’s movements.
"Left?"
Calles, upon hearing the news of Donnie’s return, thought he misheard Edson Araujo’s report.
Edson Araujo nodded, feeling a bit bewildered himself, but truthfully replied, "That’s correct, just moments ago, the yacht Donnie is aboard set course back, and barring any accidents, will arrive in Los Angeles in a few days!"
Calles was puzzled; Donnie’s stay at sea left him scratching his head, and his departure puzzled him just as much.
"No, there’s definitely something wrong here!"
Though Calles didn’t know Donnie’s specific actions, he could sense something amiss from this series of actions by Donnie.
"Could it be that Donnie Block has already detected your actions?" Calles asked Edson Araujo.
Edson Araujo shook his head, "That should be impossible; my people hadn’t even begun to act before Donnie Block left!"
"Then could someone have leaked this information in advance?"
"That’s even less likely. Only a few confidants and I know about this, and none of them displayed any abnormal behavior during this period."
"What if it wasn’t your people who leaked it?" Calles asked Edson Araujo.
Edson Araujo dared not answer, although he hadn’t reported his specific situation to Calles that night, Monroe was also present in the room.
Monroe might have guessed his action plan.
"It doesn’t matter now!"
Just as Edson Araujo was at a loss for what to say, Calles suddenly remarked.
"Two things!"
Calles instructed.
"Yes, Mr. President, please instruct!" Edson Araujo replied respectfully.
"First, arrest all the businessmen who met with Donnie Block during this period. I want to know everything about their meetings, including how long Donnie Block spoke with each of them!"
"Second, immediately arrange for people to investigate each military unit nationwide, to see if any have exhibited abnormalities!"
Hearing Calles’ orders, Edson Araujo felt somewhat shocked.
The first order was understandable; even though those businessmen had backgrounds, they were still just businessmen, and dealing with them would be easy.
But the second order... Edson Araujo knew Calles suspected someone might be colluding with Donnie Block, but was that even possible?
No matter how powerful Donnie Block was, he was just an American merchant, wasn’t he?
"Yes, I will go investigate immediately!"
Despite his doubts, Edson Araujo promptly responded to Calles in earnest.
.
"Gone?"
Monroe, sharing similar thoughts with Calles, also received the news, with disbelief mirrored on his face.
"Donnie Block just left like that? Is he really that timid?"
Compared to Calles, Monroe was privy to more information, for instance, he had arranged for someone to inform Donnie about Calles’ plan to board Donnie’s yacht.
But just hours after the message was delivered, Donnie left?
Hector Moreno exhibited a doubtful expression, "Sir, Donnie Block’s departure is quite peculiar, isn’t it? According to the data we have on Donnie Block, he shouldn’t be such a cowardly individual, should he?"
Monroe was shocked by Donnie’s departure, yet this time he didn’t agree with Hector Moreno’s analysis.
"Moreno, let me ask you, who is Donnie Block now?"
Hector Moreno pondered for a moment and then said, "A super-rich American with immense influence!"
