American Tax Officer

```

For other inspectors, they could simply tell them, "none of your business" and move on.

But Liu Yi was their superior, and naturally, they still had to explain things to him, as it wouldn't be wise to offend one's boss.

Nisen organized his words a bit and said, "Chief Tax Officer Liu Yi, this tax, of course, wasn't collected from those black people, but from a group of robbers who had recently hijacked the Encar Casino's cash transport van."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi's eyes widened intensely, his facial muscles quivering as if he had been hit by an invisible force.

About a minute passed.

He finally came back to his senses and asked in shock, "are you saying that this protection money was collected from the robbers who hijacked the Encar Casino's cash transport van?"

"Yes!"

Once confirmed again, Liu Yi's mouth twitched.

He had heard of the robber of the Encar Casino's cash transport van, and had even considered initiating an investigation, but ultimately he gave up on the idea.

Why?

The reason was simple!

The case had already been investigated by the local police, and even the FBI had sent agents, but they couldn't find any clues.

It wasn't that their inspection methods at the National Tax Bureau were inferior to those of the police or the FBI.

On the contrary.

The National Tax Bureau could make the world tremble not just by armed taxation; their inspection methods were certainly among the top of the top.

However, Liu Yi felt that

this robbery case was a bit tricky, and even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything out in the short term.

Now, the Washington D.C. Headquarters had set protection tax collection targets for all the major district sub-bureaus across the country.

Those who could complete them within the stipulated time would naturally get a raise and a promotion.

Those who failed would suffer some punishment.

So he thought, instead of spending time and effort investigating this robbery, it would be better to look into something more readily actionable.

Like the zero-dollar purchase cases involving black people.

The amount of tax collected might be less, but it was comparatively quick and straightforward.

Those black men, being quite uneducated, would naturally cough up the taxes obediently after a brief interrogation and some lessons.

But Liu Yi never dreamed that

this seemingly tricky case would be cracked by Nisen and David, and they had even cleanly collected three hundred and ninety-six thousand US dollars in protection money.

Happy surprises come too suddenly!

Stabilizing his emotions, Liu Yi asked with curiosity, "What's the background of this group of robbers?"

"They were insiders, Anthony from their vault, along with a few accomplices!"

"As expected, insiders!"

Liu Yi suddenly realized, and then quickly thought of something else, asking "But if these insiders could evade the investigation of the police and the FBI, they must be quite capable; how did you manage to find them out?"

If they could evade the investigation by the police and the FBI,

these insiders must have intelligence and psychological quality far beyond the average person.

And yet these two were able to make these people so willingly hand over the taxes, which means they must have grasped something critical about the other party, making Liu Yi even more curious.

This time, Nisen did not respond but instead looked towards David.

"Chief Tax Officer Liu Yi, it's a long story, but I think you wouldn't want to know the process!"

The tone of David's response left Nisen somewhat astonished.

However, David understood Liu Yi, and he knew that the Chief Tax Officer was a smart man, who would grasp the key points after hearing his words.

Sure enough.

Upon hearing this response, Liu Yi did not press on with more questions but just looked at David with a meaningful gaze.

He too had worked his way up from being an inspector.

```

It's clear that sometimes inspectors resort to extreme and even overstepping methods to raise tax revenue.

Of course, he doesn't care about this.

After all, their current targets are not just any law-abiding citizens.

Now, they are targeting criminals.

Do these guys have human rights?

Of course, they do!

But that's under the condition that you honestly pay your taxes!

Then, not only will the National Tax Bureau treat you nicely, but they will also worship you like a father!

Don't pay?

Well then, to put it rather bluntly, even if your arms and legs were removed, would you dare go to the police station to seek justice?

However, to put it bluntly.

Though the National Tax Bureau may act omnipotently, the United States media is not vegetarian.

Should this matter truly explode into a scandal, it would affect not only the National Tax Bureau but also him as the Chief Tax Officer.

Therefore, as David said, he need not know too many of the details of this matter.

In that case.

If something unexpected really happens, he would also be able to clear himself of any involvement to the greatest extent!

This David, he really knows how to consider his leadership's position!

And, judging from Nisen's tone, David is the 'main force' in securing this illicit tax.

Not bad, not bad!

For a moment, Lewis felt a surge of appreciation for this inspector under his command.

"Although you have handled this case very well!"

"Still, I asked you to investigate the Zero-Dollar Purchase case of Black individuals. Do not take such liberties again. You understand?"

Both men certainly understood Lewis's words—that they were being told not to take unilateral actions anymore!

Nisen nodded his head to show he understood, his lips moving back and forth for a while before he ultimately clenched his teeth and said, "Chief Tax Officer Liu Yi, the success of this case has given me a lot of confidence. I would like to request to investigate Ditter's case!"

Upon hearing the name Ditter, David's facial expression immediately froze, and Lewis's pupils shrank sharply.

Ditter, full name Ditter Omaha.

He's a Native American, currently operating a dozen bars, nightclubs, and other entertainment venues in the Lake District.

Operating bars is a legitimate business.

But in his venues, he also runs various contraband items including flour and 'fairy water.'

After the passing of the black tax law.

Their National Tax Bureau Lakeside District Sub-Bureau had conducted an investigation.

They found that Ditter's venues combined, had a monthly gray income of at least Three Million US dollars.

Therefore, Ditter was a target that the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch was very eager to take down.

But there was a tricky point.

Ditter belonged to the Omaha Family, which is the largest Indian Tribe in Las Vegas.

His uncle, Chief Gael Omaha, was even the chieftain of this tribe.

In the United States, Native Americans are a very special existence.

They may not have as much influence as the Jewish people, but in terms of privileges granted by the federal constitution, they far exceed any other group.

They can enjoy tax exemptions, have priority in operating casinos, and even have reservations, where they possess nearly absolute power.

With these advantages, that Chief Gael Omaha dominates Las Vegas single-handedly, even mayors and council members are on brotherly terms with him.

So although the National Tax Bureau Lakeside District Sub-Bureau Branch really wanted to take down this Ditter, they exercised extreme caution due to the power of the Indian Tribe.
