American Tax Officer

Under their watchful eyes, Kyle quickly made his way to them and said, "Inspector David, Mr. Lynch doesn't want to draw too much attention, you get my drift?"

"Fine, then let's head to the interrogation room to deal with the filing!"

Since the other party had come to pay taxes, David naturally wouldn't deny such a small request.

It wasn't long after.

Lynch, donning a baseball cap, sunglasses, and keeping a low profile, arrived in the interrogation room.

Following behind him, Kyle placed a large box onto the table and opened it, revealing stack upon stack of US dollars inside.

Although the amount of taxes handled by David Nisen had almost reached Three Million US dollars, this was the first time he had ever seen so much cash at once.

That's over one million six hundred thousand right here!

More money than many people could earn in a lifetime!

"Actually, if you're willing, this money can still be yours, our deal from yesterday still stands!"

Seeing them with their 'money-hungry' looks, Lynch once again laid out the temptation.

Although the amount had increased by six hundred thousand from the original one million.

But still, as long as David agreed to let him off the hook and scrap the case, it would all be worth it!

David shook his head, a half-smile on his face, and replied, "Mr. Lynch, it was one thing to talk about this on your turf, but this is the National Tax Bureau, aren't you afraid of being overheard?"

"Just talking, that's all!"

Lynch wasn't the least bit upset by the rejection; on the contrary, he seemed quite pleased at the moment.

Observing his demeanor, David grew curious.

Something doesn't seem right.

Wasn't this guy still fuming with rage yesterday, why does he seem so content today?

To get to the bottom of it, David tentatively asked, "Do you know, Mr. Lynch, it's quite rare that someone comes to pay their taxes at our National Tax Bureau and can do it like you have!"

"Is that so?"

Lynch smiled slightly and said as if struck by a thought, "You know, I actually envy your National Tax Bureau."

"Envious of what?"

"People like us or others, after getting money through illicit means, have to worry about being chased by the police, FBI, and your National Tax Bureau. We can only use the money after laundering it, whereas you guys at the National Tax Bureau, even though you're collecting our black money, you don't have to launder it to use it legally!"

Upon hearing this, David was taken aback, but he quickly figured something out, looking sharply at him and saying, "So you're saying this money is black money!"

He had it figured out.

Lynch's business was money laundering.

And naturally, he wouldn't bring cleaned money to pay his taxes, only black money would be given to him. In this way, it was like using the National Tax Bureau to launder money.

That's quite a clever scheme!

No wonder the guy was in such a good mood today.

"You're not scared to take it, are you?"

Indeed, the money Lynch brought today was dirty money.

This idea struck him after his meeting with Kyle Ray and returning home.

Since paying taxes had become inevitable.

And since his business was laundering money, why not directly take the customers' black money and submit it to the National Tax Bureau?

In doing so, he would not only stem some of his losses but would also be using the National Tax Bureau to his advantage, returning the favor for being pressured into paying taxes!

That was the reason for his reasonably good mood today!

"A joke, as if there's any money our National Tax Bureau is afraid to collect. Do you think the FBI and police would dare to look into our funds?"

David's expression bore a hint of disdain.

Although he was aware that he had been used by Lynch to some extent, it didn't matter to him – as long as the money was in the account, nothing else was of concern to him.

The National Tax Bureau wouldn't care either!

At David's words, Lynch didn't counter.

He was quite clear that it would be remarkable enough if the National Tax Bureau didn't investigate the FBI and police; how could the FBI and police dare to investigate the National Tax Bureau?

In the following time, Nisen was responsible for filing Lynch's documents, while David prepared to count the money.

Given the large sum of money, he didn't wait to finish counting it before calling Mary and other vault staff for help, but immediately asked them to come and assist.

When Mary and her colleagues saw the cash total of over 1.6 million, they were so shocked they could hardly speak, and it took them a good while to recover their senses and get to work.

Quickly, an hour passed.

The counting was drawing to a close, and after some calculation, Mary said to David, "The total is 1,663,200 US dollars!"

David nodded his head and then turned to stretch out his right hand to Lynch, saying, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Lynch. You can go now!"

After Lynch left, Mary took the hefty tax money to be stored in the vault.

About ten minutes later, news came of a successful storage.

David and Nisen immediately took out their phones and opened the National Tax Bureau's performance leaderboard.

After adding over 1.6 million, their performance score had skyrocketed from 2,005,556 to 3,668,756 US dollars.

As for the ranking, it had shot up from 106th nationally to 43rd.

"Hahaha, David, we've actually risen to 43rd place. This is unbelievable!"

Nisen was so elated that he hugged David tightly and kept congratulating him.

Although David had anticipated that once this hefty tax money was successfully in the vault, they would certainly break into the top 100,

the fact that they had jumped directly to 43rd place also stirred some excitement in him.

At the same time.

The news of David's meteoric rise to 43rd place in the nation quickly burst like a bomb within the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch.

All the Inspectors, including some uninformed Chief Tax Officers and Tax Investigators, were shocked, bewildered, and puzzled by this.

Because David's ranking and performance score were something they followed daily.

Just this morning, David's ranking was only 106th nationally, with a performance score just over two million.

Their score suddenly rose to 43rd, and the performance had surged by over 1.6 million.

What did this mean?

It meant that David must have landed a super fat sheep!

But who exactly was this fat sheep, necessitating the payment of over 1.6 million in taxes? This immediately sparked speculation and discussion throughout the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch.

Meanwhile, at the National Tax Bureau Avenue Sub-bureau Branch.

Upon hearing the news, Keanu and others were so shocked they could hardly regain their composure.

And the Inspectors of their own Bureau were deflated like a burst balloon.

With someone collecting over 1.6 million in taxes in one go, catching up to the total performance score of all their Inspectors since the start of the assessment period, how could they compete?

How could they possibly catch up?

No need to think about it anymore, the National Tax Bureau Lakeside District was sure to take the title of Las Vegas Top-performing Tax Bureau Branch once again!

And their Avenue Branch would once more be left grinding against the floor!
