Bemy had been waiting for these very words, and then he replied, "Alright, let''s leave it at that for now. I''ll get back to you."


    Shortly after ending the call, he immediately summoned Trollope and asked, "How''s the investigation into the scale of the funds going?"


    "ording to the current statistics, it''s nearly 80 million," Trollope responded.


    "80 million!"


    Although Bemy had mentally braced himself, he still took a sharp breath upon hearing that figure.


    With Director David nearly securing 70 million in tax performance, this tax revenue, once ounted for, would amount to 1.5 billion.


    Not just him, even Brown Soros from New York would have to ''surrender without a fight'' in the face of such tax performance.


    Gathering his thoughts, Bemy then asked, "How''s the freezing of the assets going?"


    "The application for enforcement has been made; it will bepleted very soon."


    Bemy nodded and stroked his chin, pondering for a good while before saying, "What''s your take on such arge sum of money from GCO Corporation?"


    "GCO Corporation''s prisons are involved in illicit trades, but it''s unlikely they could umte as much as 80 million. I think it''s highly probable that this involves tax evasion from before their ''ck Tax'' bill, leading to such an immense amount of tax revenue," Trollope analyzed.


    "Oh?"


    Bemy''s expression suddenly brightened as if struck by a thought.


    The ''Deification Project'' could also be called the ''Spokesperson for the ck Tax Bill'' project.


    ording to the headquarters'' announcement, whoever generated the most tax performance for this bill during the assessment period would be the one elected.


    If GCO''s immense tax revenue didn''t arise through the ck Tax Bill but through recouping tax evasions from GCO Corporation in the past.


    Then, from a certain perspective, that could be considered a form of misconduct in the contest for the Deification Project.


    This could be a valid point of attack!


    With this in mind, Bemy immediately instructed, "Look into this carefully, see if you can secure more substantial evidence!"


    ...


    Santa Monica Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles.


    After dining, David and his group came here, lying on beach chairs, basking in the sun, and admiring the seascape.


    "Los Angeles is the ce to enjoy life."


    "Even though I''ve only been here for a day, I feel like I''ve fallen in love with this city already!"


    "This city is like a great beauty; who could not love it?"


    As Nisen and his friends were extolling the beauty of the ce, David''s phone rang, and he answered immediately: "This is David."


    "Director David, this is Caroline. Just now, your National Tax Agency froze the funds ourpany was about to transfer to the Sand Bay Branch under the pretense of a financial investigation. What should we do?"


    Upon hearing this, David, who had been enjoying himself, suddenly tightened his expression, then hurriedly asked, "Was it the Long Beach Branch who froze it?"


    Chapter Your:


    "Yes."


    "I see, I''ll handle it."


    No sooner had they just sorted things out with GCO Corporation, than the Long Beach Branch immediately froze the funds.


    It seemed that the Long Beach Branch, or perhaps Bemy Hattie, might have been watching them since they set foot in Los Angeles, which would exin their swift response.


    But what David hadn''t anticipated was that their opponent would dare to freeze his funds so brazenly. Was he not afraid of David making aint to the headquarters?


    Or could it be that Bemy Hattie was confident he could deal with the high-level officials at the headquarters?


    Nisen and his friends also noticed the change in David''s expression and immediately asked after he hung up the phone, "What''s wrong, Director David? Did the Long Beach Branch freeze something?"


    "The tax revenue GCO Corporation was preparing to transfer to us."


    "What!"


    At that deration, Nisen and hispanions could no longer stay seated and all sat up from their lounging positions.


    "Damn it, it must be that bastard Bemy Hadith''s doing."


    "He must be worried that we would immediately surpass him if this tax revenue was credited to our ounts, which is why he''s resorted to such a lowly trick!"


    The thought of Bemy''s despicable tactics enraged Nisen and his friends beyond measure.


    They had legitimately collected that tax revenue, so what right did the Long Beach Branch have to freeze it?


    "Let''s go to the Long Beach Branch."


    David, knowing the Long Beach Branch was Bemy Hattie''s territory, hadn''t nned to have any dealings or intersections with them before arriving.


    But now that his tax revenue had been so rudely frozen, he had to personally go there to demand an exnation.


    In the office of the Long Beach Branch director.


    "What did you say? That David hase to our jurisdiction and has secured nearly 80 million in tax revenue from GCO? How did he manage that?"


    Upon hearing Bemy Hattie''s report, Long Beach Branch Director Ducray could hardly believe his ears.


    Setting aside the money.


    As far as he knew, GCO was one of the top three private prisons in America, with cooperative rtions with the Department of Justice, FBI, CIA, and various other departments, making it quite a strong background.


    Exactly how had David managed to willingly secure a contribution of 80 million from such a corporate giant?


    "We don''t know that yet, but since GCO Corporation is in our jurisdiction, it''s necessary to investigate such arge sum of money transferring to another branch. So, I''ve had the funds temporarily frozen," Bemy exined.


    "You froze it?"


    Ducray''s gaze shifted to Bemy.


    He knew that the so-called financial investigation was just a pretext, and the actual reason was probably that Bemy feared his chance of being elected in the Deification Project would be lost once the funds entered David''s ount.
