American tax officials

Chapter 79 The CIA is really showing off, isn't it?

Inside the office, David, who was reviewing documents, heard the landline ring and quickly answered, "Feed."

"Chief Tax Officer David, two CIA agents want to see you."

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, David's brow furrowed in confusion.

The CIA came looking for him.

What's going on?

"Chief Tax Officer David, are you listening?"

"Then let them come to my office!"

After all, the CIA is an American law enforcement agency, so David decided to meet with them and see what they wanted.

Five or six minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

With David's "Come in," Jerome and Broad entered.

Name: Jerome Bond.

[Occupation: Senior CIA Agent]

Monthly income: $11000 USD; Gray income: $46000 USD.

[Income Details: On December 7th, a Xiong Kingdom agent was killed in Ukraine, and $230,000 was seized, with $20,000 pocketed. On December 23rd, an engineer was recruited within Xiong Kingdom, and $20,000 of the recruited funds were embezzled...]

[More details: ...]

Tax payable: US$11500.

……

[Name: Broad Dodge]

[Occupation: Senior CIA Agent]

Monthly income: $11000 USD; Gray income: $46000 USD.

[Income Details: On December 7th, a Xiong Kingdom agent was killed in Ukraine, and $230,000 was seized, with $20,000 pocketed. On December 23rd, an engineer was recruited within Xiong Kingdom, and $20,000 of the recruited funds were embezzled...]

Tax payable: US$11500.

Since he didn't know why the other party had come to see him, David subconsciously used his cheat code to check their information.

But you don't know until you investigate, and what you find is shocking.

The CIA has never had a good reputation since its inception.

They either stir up trouble and provoke incidents in various countries, or create conflicts everywhere, drawing widespread condemnation from countries around the world.

In fact, not to mention other countries, even the public in this country doesn't have a very good impression of this organization.

For example, during the Bay of Pigs invasion in the 60s, the CIA orchestrated a coup in the neighboring ancient country, which ended in a humiliating failure, causing the United States to lose face on the international stage.

For example, the DEA agent Kiki's case in the 80s.

The agent was captured by drug dealers and tortured for over 30 hours.

Subsequent evidence proved that Agent Kiki was captured by drug traffickers primarily because of information provided by the CIA.

This almost led to a fight between the DEA and the CIA.

These two agents, though ostensibly serving the country, are doing increasingly filthy things behind the scenes.

This truly reflects the CIA's style of operation!

"Chief Tax Officer David, this is Jerome, a senior CIA agent, and this is my partner, Broad!"

"Hello, agents."

Putting his thoughts aside, David stood up and shook hands with each of them, thus establishing a preliminary acquaintance.

"Here's the thing, Chief Tax Secretary David. Just today, a hacker broke into the Pentagon's database. Our technicians tracked him down, and he was subsequently arrested by us in conjunction with the FBI. His name is Coverdale, I believe you know him!"

Upon hearing this, David's expression changed slightly.

When he found Coffdale a while ago, he warned the guy to keep a low profile, after all, the CIA isn't something to be trifled with!

But to my surprise, this guy forgot what he said right away, and not only that, he went and hacked into the Pentagon's database!

If they don't arrest you, who else would they arrest?!

What a damn bastard!

David felt a pang of regret. He had just taken office as tax chief and hadn't even "made his first sale" yet, and he had already lost a long-term tax bill!

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Since this guy has already been caught by the CIA, he can't possibly try to rescue him, as that wouldn't comply with IRS regulations. He can only accept his bad luck!

But then again.

Since the CIA has already caught Coffdale, why are they still looking for him?

Do you want to get back the taxes they received?

Seemingly noticing David's confusion, Broad added, "It's like this, Tax Chief David. As far as we know, this hacker named Coffdale has maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with a Xiong Kingdom spy."

"This spy recently caused us significant losses using information he obtained from Coverdale."

"Based on Coverdale's confession, your IRS seems to have information about this spy's identity, so could you cooperate with us?"

Upon hearing this, David finally understood, but his expression instantly turned cold.

Coffdale's arrest was already frustrating enough for him.

Now these CIA people actually want to get Maggie's information from her?

That's wishful thinking!

David crossed his arms and replied, "I apologize, agents, but I'm sure you've heard of the Black Tax Act. According to its provisions, once taxes are paid to us, the IRS is obligated to keep their identities confidential. No official agency has the right to request information from us!"

The subtext of his words was actually telling the other party that they should either investigate themselves or go away and cool off.

Do you want to get information from me?

no way!

Of course, the two of them understood.

Brod was alright; he had already anticipated this outcome, and was only slightly disappointed, without showing any dissatisfaction.

But Jerome's face darkened, and he looked at David with slight dissatisfaction, saying, "Tax Chief David, I am well aware of the regulations of your Black Tax Act."

"But this spy wasn't just any ordinary criminal; he caused enormous damage to our CIA and our country!"

"Such lawbreakers deserve to be punished by every American citizen. I don't think they should be subject to the regulations of the Black Tax Act. You understand what I mean?"

David couldn't help but sneer at these words.

What business is it of our tax authorities if we cause damage to your CIA?

Your arrest of her means I won't be able to collect taxes anymore, and that's the biggest damage you can do to me!

Although he thought this to himself, he didn't immediately break off relations. Instead, he calmly replied, "Alright, then why don't you, Agent Jerome, persuade Congress to change the regulations of the Black Tax Act? In return, I'll provide you with the spy's identity information. What do you think?"

"Tax Chief David!"

Jerome glared at David.

A bill requires approval from several congressional committees, plus a vote by more than 500 members of the House and Senate.

How could a mere detective like him change things so easily?!

David, equally defiant, met his gaze head-on and said, "Agent Jerome, you need to understand where you are. This is the IRS, not your CIA. We're the ones in charge here!"

It will be available tomorrow at noon, guys.
