American Tax Officer

Chapter 237: Chapter 167: How to Join Forces Against Stevenson

Gavin fell silent, but he had to admit that Ou En's words struck a chord with him.

If he confessed to the higher-ups, his future was definitely over.

If he didn't, although he would be under David's control, at least he would still have his current position and future prospects.

Anyone who is not a saint would almost always choose the latter.

And Gavin was certainly no saint; he was fundamentally inclined towards the latter. Now, seeking Ou En's advice was nothing more than a quest for psychological comfort.

After a moment, Gavin spoke, "Then let's do as you suggest. First, gather all the agents in our office and 'explain' things to them."

Ou En was somewhat speechless, thinking isn't this exactly what you want deep down? To do it my way?

What a burden to place on me.

Though that's what he thought, he didn't dare to contradict and promptly turned to summon the agents.

Ninglin Branch Office.

Because Egbert had been discussing matters with Jon, it was only after Jon left that he entered Director Egbert's office and said, "Director Egbert, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow, there might be a large amount of tax money coming in, and it's not a small sum. I hope we can divide this tax revenue 50-50, just like with the cooperative cases!"

This assessment period, because of the issue caused by Stevenson, he had already wasted too much time.

And now on the tax performance leaderboard, people like Brown Soros and Bellamy Hattie were far ahead of him.

Therefore, Director David certainly couldn't continue to hand over tax performance to these branch offices for nothing; he had to claim some for himself.

Otherwise, the more time he wasted, the greater the gap between him and those on the leaderboard would become.

"A 50-50 split..."

Egbert was slightly subdued, but thinking of the considerable tax performance they had already gleaned from those five FBI agents, their request now seemed reasonable and not excessive.

He then nodded and replied, "That's certainly possible, but Director David, what's the story behind this large amount of tax money coming in?"

Ever since David arrived here, he had been investigating the FBI and hadn't looked into anything else, so Egbert was a little puzzled as to where this tax money was coming from.

"The FBI."

"The FBI?"

Egbert was startled and quickly asked, "Do you mean the five agents we brought back, or...?"

"Of course not, I mean that tomorrow, a large number of agents will come to the FBI Office, including Gavin, who will bring the tax money to pay."

"What did you say!?"

Egbert's eyes bulged as big as copper bells, filled with disbelief.

The only ones they had brought back who had sufficient evidence of tax evasion were those five agents, weren't they?

Why would other agents from the FBI Office come to pay taxes to them?

And that was not all, Gavin, the head of the Nevada State FBI, would also come to pay taxes to them?

That was impossible!

If it hadn't been David saying this, Egbert would have immediately stood up and loudly ridiculed the notion as absurd!

"I'm saying, tomorrow Gavin and his men will come to pay taxes, and then we'll split the revenue 50-50!"

Once confirmed again, Egbert couldn't contain himself any longer. He questioned, "Director David, Gavin will pay taxes to us? Are you serious?"

"Of course, I'm serious."

"This...how did you accomplish this?"

"Well...that's a long story, just make sure to collect the taxes."

Hearing that David seemed reluctant to explain the process, Egbert, though still curious, didn't feel it appropriate to pry further and could only agree, "Alright, if they really do come, after receiving the taxes, I will transfer your share according to the ratio."

"That sounds good, I'll go take care of other matters now."

Nisen had already been waiting outside, and as soon as he saw David come out, he immediately approached and said, "Found him. Lawson Rubins is at Newman University attending an academic lecture, expected to end at 6 pm, then he will return to his residence."

David looked at his watch; it was 5:30 pm, meaning there was half an hour left. He immediately said, "Let's go. We head straight to Newman University now."

Newman University, located in the heart of Carson City, is a vibrant and innovative private institution of higher education.

The architectural style of the university is unique, blending elements of history and modernity, displaying a kind of elegance combined with a modern aesthetic.

The historical buildings on campus retain their original rustic appearance, with red brick walls, pointed roofs, and arched windows revealing the institution's rich historical heritage.

When David and his entourage arrived, it was exactly 6 pm.

As the academic lecture inside had just concluded, students and invited guests from all walks of life were continuously exiting the main entrance.

About ten minutes later, a 40-year-old man in a suit emerged, escorted by several security personnel.

Upon seeing him, David's eyes lit up.
