American tax officials

Chapter 66 Regret

"50,000, that's it!"

After thinking for a long time, Li Gensheng realized that he could no longer resist.

But asking him to pay 320,000 is like cutting off his flesh; he is only willing to pay the 50,000 in taxes that Leo just demanded from him.

"5 million?"

David's expression was slightly disdainful as he replied firmly, "326,288, not a penny less!"

Li Gensheng instantly flew into a rage, retorting, "I've already agreed to pay, does your National Taxation Bureau need to be so ruthless?"

"Trying to wipe you out? Your net monthly income is 83, and now you're only being asked to pay 32, meaning you're still making a net profit of over 50. That's US dollars, isn't that a small amount?"

Li Gensheng's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

Making a net profit of over 50 yuan seems like a lot, but he could have made over 80 yuan. The State Taxation Administration is going to take away a small portion of it. Who can accept that?

"It's fine if you don't want to pay, we'll just forgo the tax, but you can forget about doing business in America again!"

After saying that, David got up to leave.

Seeing that David was almost at the door, Li Gensheng gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke, but he ultimately didn't lose his temper and said, "Fine, you bastard, I'll hand it over!"

30 yuan is not a small amount, but he knows which is more important compared to his business.

Besides, the IRS has so much evidence against him; if he doesn't pay, not only might his account be frozen, but he might also end up in jail.

David stopped, turned around, and returned to his seat, saying with a smile, "Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done this earlier? By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor!"

"What is it?"

"I know Lynch is your biggest partner..."

David explained that he wanted the list and the information about their transactions.

At first, Li Gensheng vehemently disagreed, because if he gave these things to David, it would be tantamount to betraying Lin Qi.

Unfortunately, the arm can't outmaneuver the thigh.

Under David's threats, Li Gensheng could only compromise with a belly full of resentment.

Outside the hall.

Millie and Leo were still waiting, with Leo frequently raising his wrist to check the time; 25 minutes had passed since they last met.

Just then, the door to the tea room clicked open.

Seeing Li Gensheng walk out with a gloomy face, Milimo and Leo were somewhat surprised. They subconsciously exchanged a glance, sensing that something was wrong.

Just now, no matter how they threatened him, Li Gensheng seemed calm and indifferent. Why is he acting like his father has died now?

Could it be that……

David really managed to pry open his mouth and get him to vomit up 8 in taxes.

Otherwise, how could he possibly look like this!

This was the only explanation the two could think of, but whether it was true or not still needed to be verified, so they immediately walked towards the tea room.

Soon, they entered the tea room. Seeing the relaxed and cheerful Nison and David, Millie asked, "How was it, Inspector David?"

David gave an OK sign and replied, "No problem!"

Upon receiving this answer, Millie and Leo were startled, but just as they were about to ask for more details, Li Gensheng returned and walked in.

"Here's what you wanted. I don't have that much money for taxes right now. Can you give me some time to raise the money?"

Li Gensheng handed a file folder to David.

Leo and Millie had no interest in what was in the file folder; their minds were completely blank.

What's going on with Li Gensheng?

They were so tough just now, how come they're so willing to pay their taxes now?

What exactly did David say to him?

How did you manage to do that?

"Can!"

David's answer finally snapped the two out of their reverie. Millie seemed to remember something and immediately questioned Li Gensheng, "Mr. Li, it's only a few tens of thousands of US dollars. You don't need to go through the trouble of raising it, do you?"

They investigated and found that, excluding Li Gensheng's illegal income, the tea shop's business was quite good, and he could easily come up with 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

Li Gensheng looked at Mi Limo, his words tinged with resentment, and said, "If it were tens of thousands, that would be wonderful!"

"Huh? If not tens of thousands, then how much is it?"

Leo and Millie were somewhat bewildered.

"326,288, who do you think could come up with that amount of money all at once?"

"What?!"

Leo and Millie stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

But Leo quickly recovered, rushed to Li Gensheng, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded, "What did you just say? You're going to pay 326,288 to the IRS?"

"Cough cough... Let go, let go!"

Li Gensheng was being strangled and struggling desperately to breathe.

Leo realized he had overreacted and quickly released him, but still asked urgently, "You just said you'd pay $326,288 to the IRS, were you serious?"

"Go to hell, yes, yes, are you satisfied now?"

Li Gensheng was already annoyed by being threatened to pay such a large sum of tax, and now, after being tormented like this, he was so angry that he even blurted out his native language.

Having received confirmation once again, Leo finally believed it. Without saying anything more to Li Gensheng, he turned to David and asked angrily, "Inspector David, are you playing us?"

Although I don't know how David forced the old man to hand over such a large sum of tax, it was more than 32!

Such a large sum of tax, and they only got 8?

They're treating him like a fool!

Millie finally understood.

She said, "How could David be so kind, helping them collect taxes and giving them 8?"

It turns out that Li Gensheng's value is far greater than 8 US dollars!

She had initially thought she had gotten a great deal, but suddenly felt she had been cheated out of her. She stared intently at David, wanting him to give her an explanation!

"Inspector Leo, what kind of talk is that? What do you mean by 'playing with you'?"

David wasn't too surprised by Leo's performance.

That's why he recorded the conversation beforehand. With this evidence in hand, unless the Dajie District Police Station is shameless, they wouldn't dare to renege on this tax payment!

"hehe……"

Leo sneered, disgruntled, "You knew perfectly well he needed to pay over 32 in taxes, but you only gave us 8. Isn't that just playing us?"

"Inspector Leo, that's not how it works. You yourself just said you only wanted 8, and the rest would be on us!"

"Besides, without my partner, you might not even have received 8, let alone 5. One should be content!"

Nissen couldn't stand it anymore and immediately stood up to refute it.
