Where There Are People, There Is Strife

In the room, Mr. Fox's face was ashen. He looked no different than a moment ago, but only he knew that his scalp was tingling.

People always joked about the Federal Revenue Service, saying that offending them would leave you without pants, but few joked about the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

It wasn't that there were no good jokes about the Federal Bureau of Investigation, nor that they didn't make mistakes. On the contrary, the Bureau of Investigation had many law enforcement disputes and even accidents every year, but no one openly talked about them.

Because everyone knew that the Revenue Service might make you wish you were dead, but the Bureau of Investigation would directly kill you, so no one complained every day.

After the other party revealed their identity, Mr. Fox's legs felt weak.

He stared at the person for a while. His son and his subordinates recovered from their shock. Because of Mr. Fox's eye contact with the Bureau of Investigation agent, they felt they had found their backbone, found courage, and glared angrily.

Only Mr. Fox knew that he needed to take a moment, otherwise his legs would give way and he would want to kneel.

After a while, he took a deep breath, nodded and said "Okay," then turned around and sat down, "I want to see why you can make me unsteady."

He performed beautifully. Even Mr. Fox's son felt that this was a shining moment in Mr. Fox's life, but only he knew that his heart was beating at 180 beats per minute.

The Bureau of Investigation agent maintained a smile, a confident smile. He raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and had a regretful expression, "You definitely won't like hearing this..." He paused, "The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been watching you for some time..."

In another room, the agent from the Revenue Service glanced at the Bureau of Investigation agent next to him, who gave him a perfunctory nod.

This sentence was actually problematic, and the problem came from the priority.

Simple people have various contradictions and conflicts, let alone two top institutions?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Revenue Service are clearly two different fields, but the two sides have some overlap in their powers and functions.

For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Financial Crime Investigation Division is responsible for crimes related to finance, and these crimes are often linked to tax evasion.

In order to prevent some accounts from being discovered, criminals will choose to hide them. Once they are hidden, it means that tax evasion has occurred, so the two groups are essentially in conflict, but these conflicts will not be too obvious, nor will they be completely internal.

The agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Financial Crime Investigation Division Action Team took all the credit to the Bureau of Investigation with one sentence. These recordings will eventually appear in court, and even in front of the media.

With the sentence "We have been watching you for some time," it is enough to prove the Federal Bureau of Investigation's foresight in front of everyone. In fact, they had already discovered the money laundering crimes of Fox and others, but the evidence was not sufficient. However, the stupid Revenue Service alarmed them, causing a failure.

Fortunately, the Federal Bureau of Investigation finally turned the tide and corrected everything, not only winning a glimmer of light for the entire Bureau of Investigation, but also stepping on the Revenue Service.

If it were normal times, the Revenue Service would definitely send someone in to turn the situation around, but now they have their own problems to solve. The most important thing is to solve the immediate problem. There will be plenty of time to find their way back in the future.

Mr. Fox was silent, as if he hadn't heard anything. His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about how his insignificant financial company could be targeted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Did they have nothing better to do?

The agent did not stop and wait for Mr. Fox because of his silence, but instead quickened his pace.

When the amount of information exceeds a person's processing peak in a short period of time, people will experience some confusion when thinking, and they will easily say the wrong thing, say things they shouldn't say.

"Starting last month, we noticed that your business has become more active, and your money laundering speed is also accelerating..."

Saying last month, it was actually only ten days ago, just when Lin Qi completed the first transaction with him. The large inflow of change made his daily declared income more and more, which would definitely attract some people's attention, but Mr. Fox didn't realize that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had also noticed him.

He was still silent, but the agent continued to say, "According to our investigation..." He took a few photos from the clipboard and placed them on the table. There were photos of Mr. Fox and Lin Qi together, as well as photos of his subordinates taking money, "After you met Lin Qi, you reached a series of cooperation conditions. You established a more advanced money laundering process on the original basis..."

"Lin Qi scours for all kinds of hard-to-trace change for you, and designs a new charging system for you, so that you can more quickly legalize the illegal income of your financial company and deposit it in the bank."

"Mr. Fox, it is no exaggeration to say that you are operating a financial company to obtain illegal high interest, while privately laundering money. Whether it is the district court or the State Court, even the Supreme Court, your sentence will not be less than twenty years!"

The agent casually said words that made Mr. Fox's son and subordinates gasp. With Mr. Fox's current age, if he went in, let alone twenty years, it would be very difficult to survive ten years. They planned to kill Mr. Fox in prison.

Mr. Fox's eyelids twitched. "Where's the evidence?" His voice was initially soft, but it quickly grew louder. "You've said so much, but you need evidence, right? You say I charge high interest rates, who can testify? Let him stand before me!"

"You say I launder money, but this is all from my legal business!"

"If you don't have evidence, I'm going to sue you for defamation!" He said, taking out a business card holder from his pocket, taking one out and handing it to his son, "Go to the door and make a call, get the lawyer here."

The agent immediately pointed to the table, "There's one here, you can use it here."

Mr. Fox sneered, "I suspect you'll record it..." He then looked at his son, and held the back of his hand, "Call outside, quickly!"

Mr. Fox didn't know if his son understood his meaning. He winked, meaning that his son shouldn't come back after making the call, to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.

Over the years, he had hidden a lot of cash and valuables everywhere. If things went wrong, his son could rely on these things to smuggle himself abroad. Although he himself was trapped, at least he had protected his child.

People live a lifetime, besides themselves, isn't it for the next generation?

It's just that sometimes things aren't as good as people think. Mr. Fox's son came back after making the call, which made Mr. Fox sigh heavily, and glared at his son, this idiot!

The agent almost laughed when he saw Mr. Fox's son return. He couldn't demand that someone who hadn't been clearly proven to be involved in the case had to stay here, but he couldn't refuse if the other party took the initiative to stay, could he? He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "I hope your lawyer can come quickly, otherwise you may have to spend the night at the Bureau of Investigation..." He shrugged, "The environment there is not good, mainly because it's drafty, the walls are like cages, and it's also smelly, the toilet and the bedroom are together!"

A very obvious threat, everyone felt that victory was in their grasp. At the same time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation also began to arrange relevant personnel to prepare to arrest Lin Qi at any time.

As long as the evidence is revealed later, Mr. Fox will definitely plead guilty. Once he pleads guilty, regardless of whether Lin Qi's business is prohibited by law, he is an accomplice, and the recent uproar of public opinion will be reversed.

The agent triumphantly crossed his legs, and also asked the staff outside the door to bring in a cup of coffee. He wanted to maintain his demeanor. After all, those who engaged in financial crime investigation should be more reserved, more decent, and more gentlemanly than those front-line crime investigation agents.
