"Law..."
Veins bulged on Gavin's forehead, nearly losing control and cursing aloud, but after he stopped himself, he still looked as if he wanted to devour Nisen.
Nisen ignored him and bellowed, "Where is the person our State Tax Bureau wants? If they don't show up, don't bla us for taking coercive asures!"
"You dare!"
Gavin imdiately stepped forward, and the other agents behind him also glared nacingly.
The State Tax Bureau had brazenly co to their FBI Office, and if they dared to act wild on FBI turf, how could the FBI face anyone if word got out?
"Enough!"
Seeing the situation escalating, Bezi stepped forward and said to Gavin, "Special Agent Gavin, according to the regulations of the Black Tax Act, our State Tax Bureau has the right to bring in anyone with illegal inco for investigation. You're a special agent, so you should be clear about this. Let's not blow this out of proportion, shall we?"
Gavin's face darkened and he struggled with his response for a while before finally saying, "And what if you don't find anything, then what?"
If we find nothing, of course, we will explain ourselves to you!"
"Fine, if you can't co up with any explanation, then I'm telling you, this isn't the end!"
Gavin dropped this line and turned to leave.
He was well aware that with the Black Tax Act in hand, the State Tax Bureau indeed had the authority to 'invite' mbers of the FBI to return with them.
If this continued, and things blew up, the FBI would undoubtedly be in the wrong.
Back in his office, Gavin imdiately said to the trusted agent who followed him in, "Ou En, tell honestly, do the people the State Tax Bureau wants to take have any issues?"
"This... right now I can't be certain..."
The agent called Ou En dared not commit; with so many agents in the office, how could he possibly know everyone's background?
And even if so of them were involved in corruption, they would surely be hiding it. How could they possibly go around talking loosely and let him find out?
"Now imdiately inform them, or go directly to the State Tax Bureau, tell them not to talk nonsense, and if any of them have unclean hands, they'd better co clean quickly. Otherwise, if sothing happens, I won't let them off the hook!"
Now, the State Tax Bureau personnel had only taken people back; the case wasn't yet defined, so what Gavin had to do was to dissolve the State Tax Bureau's offensive by all ans possible.
...
After bringing the five FBI mbers back to the Ninglin Branch Office, Bezi leaked the news to the dia through so third-party channels as instructed by David.
Upon hearing the rumors of the State Tax Bureau arresting FBI personnel, the dia exploded with interest and imdiately flocked to the Ninglin Branch Office seeking confirmation.
In response to the dia's inquiries, Bezi followed David's instructions, neither confirming nor denying.
It was precisely this intriguing stance from the Ninglin State Tax Bureau, coupled with the fact that David was currently in Carson City, that made both the dia and online audience even more curious about the incident.
"Do you think it's true what's being said online, that the State Tax Bureau arrested soone from the FBI?"
"The FBI arresting soone from the State Tax Bureau? Now that would be sothing to watch!"
"Haha, the FBI is usually the one arresting people, but who would've thought there's now a rumor that an FBI person has been arrested? If that's true, it'd be quite entertaining!"
While the people of Nevada State were discussing it hotly online.
At the Governor's Mansion.
Eugene received the news imdiately and hurried to Stevenson's side, saying, "There's trouble, Governor. Just now, a large group from the State Tax Bureau stord the FBI Office and 'invited' five mbers back on the pretext of tax evasion!"
"What?!"
Stevenson couldn't quite believe his ears.
"A few of David's subordinates were also at the scene, so it's certain that this youngster is behind this incident. Otherwise, those people from the Ninglin Branch Office wouldn't have the guts to do sothing like this!"
Stevenson frowned and his expression grew grim.
If it was as Eugene suggested, that David masterminded this, his plan to use David to deal with Lawson Rubins was probably going down the drain.
After all, he had directed the FBI to investigate Poppy, and now that David dared to target the FBI, it was clear that he was opposing him, how could he then work for him?
"Governor, if this brat is so ignorant, then we might as well release the investigation report on Poppy to get back at him!"
After thinking it over, Stevenson shook his head and said, "No, if he dares to arrest FBI personnel, he must have sothing on them. If we release Poppy's investigation report, he'll surely retaliate against the FBI to the fullest extent, and we'll have a hard ti explaining to Gavin's side. Let's wait and see how things unfold for now, let Gavin fight him first!"
Upon hearing this, Eugene felt it made sense.
If they were going to release Poppy's investigation report, Gavin would have done it by now. And if Gavin hadn't done so, he must be wary of sothing.
Since that's the case, they really should wait and see.
After all, David is currently targeting the FBI, and he hasn't reached out to their state governnt yet!
At the Ninglin Branch Office.
Simmons walked into David's office and reported, "Chief Tax Officer, people from the FBI are here; they demand to see their agents imdiately!"
"Let them cool their heels for a while."
David stood up, grabbed several organized files, and made his way to one of the interrogation rooms at the Ninglin Branch Office.
