American tax officials

Chapter 82 Arrested (Seeking first subscription!)

"Tsk tsk tsk, a high-ranking CIA agent, they'd be very interested if the media found out about his corruption!"

The two, who were already restless, became even more uneasy after hearing David's words.

CIA scandals have always been a focus of attention for the American media.

If their corruption and illegal activities are exposed, those damned media outlets will definitely sensationalize it to the fullest extent.

If we dig any deeper, it will involve far more than just the two of them.

If things go wrong, a series of senior executives, and even the image of the entire CIA, could suffer a huge blow.

The key is.

The whole thing started because of suspected tax evasion.

It's a ridiculous joke that a senior CIA agent was arrested by the IRS for alleged tax evasion!

It would be strange if they didn't become the CIA's greatest villains!

At this moment, Brod was in a state of utter confusion, and in his mind, he cursed Jerome's family countless times.

He had said before he came that, from the IRS's perspective, how could they possibly be willing to hand over taxpayers' information to them?

But this bastard just won't listen. Let's see how this ends!

"Cough cough..."

Broad coughed to ease the tense atmosphere and looked at David, saying, "Chief Tax Officer David, this is a misunderstanding. We respect the IRS's rules and regulations. Since you want to keep taxpayers' information confidential, then keep it confidential..."

After saying that, he secretly tugged at Jerome's sleeve, hoping that he would step forward and bow his head, and that the matter could be left alone.

Jerome was both angry and helpless, but he knew that if they couldn't handle this, they were doomed. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Tax Chief David, what I said earlier was just an angry outburst. Don't take it seriously. If you don't want to reveal anything, we'll leave now..."

David stood up from his chair, walked over to the two men, put his hands on his hips, and looked down at them, saying, "I know you CIA people are used to being domineering, but you have no sense of hierarchy. Do you think you can just come and go as you please here?"

"Well... what do you want?"

David picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and said after the call connected, "Come to my office with Bucky!"

Soon, Bucky and Nissen walked in.

Although the two didn't understand what was going on, they could tell that something was wrong. Nissen immediately asked, "Tax Chief, what's the matter?"

David replied, "Take Agents Jerome and Broad to our detention cell first!"

Upon hearing this, Nissen and Bucky were startled.

Agent?

Take them to the detention room?

What's going on?

Broad was also getting anxious and immediately questioned, "Tax Chief David, we're all serving the country, you don't deserve to treat us like this, do you?"

"You are suspected of multiple instances of tax evasion. We will now conduct a detailed investigation, and a decision will be made after the investigation is completed!"

"Tax Chief David..."

"Detectives, please proceed!"

Although he didn't understand the situation, Nissen didn't care about anything else after hearing David's instructions and directly interrupted them.

Broad Jerome glanced at Nison and Bucky, who were ready to draw their guns at any moment, then turned to stare at David for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more and walked towards the outer door.

……

The detention room is located in the inspectors' office on the 3rd floor.

When Jerome and Broad were brought in, they attracted the attention of many inspectors.

Because they could tell that these two people were not ordinary people, judging from their temperament and gait.

Driven by curiosity, the inspectors soon found out the identities of the two men.

But when they learned that the two men were senior CIA agents, everyone was stunned.

Their detention cells have held countless criminals and even police officers, but this is the first time they've detained someone of such stature as a senior CIA agent.

Inside the detention room.

Brod kicked the iron fence, angrily saying, "What the hell's wrong with you? Why did you threaten him?"

Since joining the CIA, they've always been the ones throwing people into places like this. When have they ever thrown themselves into places like this?

Even if this matter is resolved peacefully, they will likely become a permanent laughingstock within the CIA.

Jerome was extremely frustrated at this point.

He had originally thought that David, being so young and newly appointed tax chief, would be easy to handle.

But who would have thought that this guy was not only difficult to control, but also somehow managed to uncover their secret of embezzlement and corruption.

Now, not only have they failed to obtain the spy's information, but they've also become prisoners themselves.

"Fuck you!"

Brod cursed and took out his phone.

Jerome quickly asked, "Who are you going to call?"

"Who the hell can we beat up? Of course, we'll beat up Elvis!"

"What! No, we can't let him know about this!"

Jerome panicked. Elvis was their superior, and if he found out about this, they would be in serious trouble, if not dead.

"David is determined to get us. If we don't deal with this quickly, and he really makes a big deal out of it, we're truly doomed!"

Broad had no intention of telling his superiors about the embarrassing things that had happened here.

But there's no other way. In this situation, only his boss can resolve it; otherwise, things might get even more out of control!

Jerome's Adam's apple bobbed, but he ultimately agreed with his partner's words.

But at this moment, he felt mostly regret.

She regretted speaking rudely to David earlier, which had led to this predicament.

……

Inside the office.

William walked in, his face grave, and asked, "Chief Tax Officer David, I heard you detained two senior CIA agents. What happened?"

"Chief, this is what happened..."

David was not surprised by William's arrival, and then explained the whole story.

After hearing this, William was taken aback at first, then his expression darkened and he said, "Hmph, these CIA people really think the IRS is their own home, getting whatever information they want!"

The situation was unclear just now.

But now that he knows what happened, William also thinks that David's actions were absolutely right.

It's one thing for the CIA to act arrogantly and domineeringly, but now they're even brazen enough to come to the IRS's territory and cause trouble. Do they really think the IRS only knows how to collect taxes?

"You handled this matter well, the only problem is... they are, after all, CIA agents, we can't detain them for too long!"

David smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true, Chief."

"What do you mean?"

"What if a CIA agent is suspected of tax evasion?"

David had only told him about the two guys' purpose and threats, but hadn't yet explained the tax evasion.

William's interest was piqued, and he asked, "You mean, they're suspected of tax evasion?"

David nodded.

Do you have concrete evidence to prove it?

"certainly!"

Seeing David's confidence, William also had some doubts.

But considering David's proven investigative abilities over this period, his doubts gradually dissipated, and he nodded, saying, "If we have evidence of their tax evasion, then things will be much easier!"

William pondered for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Then you handle this matter yourself, but remember, make sure they understand who the number one law enforcement agency in America is!"

"clear!"

David understood what William meant.

This is an implication that the CIA should just be given a lesson, and that they shouldn't actually expose the matter or bring it to the media.

William didn't even need to hint at it.

David only intended to teach Broad and Jero a lesson for their arrogance, and of course he wouldn't actually expose the matter to the media.

Because if he did that, the CIA would definitely hate him to the core.

Although the IRS is not afraid of the CIA, he himself does not want to be targeted by those venomous CIA agents because of this.

……

Because he had just taken office as tax chief today, and there were also matters to attend to with the CIA, David had a lot to deal with and didn't return to his apartment building until 8 p.m.

David took out his key, opened the door, and then pressed the light switch next to him. He prepared slippers and removed his sidearm.

But suddenly, a figure appeared on the windowsill in the distance, making his nerves tense instantly.

He drew his sidearm, gripped it tightly, and slowly walked forward...
