Swift Exit
Daniel: "..."
I haven't seen you for a year, and when we meet, you just tell me that I look worse than befo. Thank you so much!
"Do you know each other?" Arthur's eyes looked a little strange, and he thought of some not-so-good things... for Daniel and others.
Could it be that Daniel and Jack joined forces to plot against him?
"Humph, we knew each other before," Daniel hummed twice. He originally wanted to say something negative about Jack, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't.
No matter from which angle, Jack had made significant efforts to be benevolent and righteous, especially in the end when Daniel reformed and returned to the right path, Jack gave him an invitation from the Eye.
In short, Daniel was still very grateful to Jack.
"So, what are you doing here?" Daniel suddenly realized this problem. "And, when did you become an IRS officer? Is it so easy to obtain a certificate and secure a job in just one year?"
Jack responded in an unapologetic tone, "Okay, let's talk later. You'd better go with this FBI agent Fuller first... Agent Fuller?" Fuller hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it's okay to wait a little longer..."
"...Don't worry," Jack quickly understood Fuller's thoughts and said with a faint smile.
"Just be impartial. He and I only had a cooperative relationship for a period of time, and we separated a long time ago. You can do whatever you need to do." It was clear that Fuller had met with Jack and Daniel not just because they knew each other, but also because they knew each other well.
"Okay!" Fuller suddenly felt relieved. With Jack's assurance, he was no longer anxious.
As for the possibility that Jack was deliberately being sarcastic, the FBI team had brought a camera with them during the operation. Now that this conversation was recorded, even if Jack wanted to cause trouble later, Fuller remained unfazed.
Speaking of which, the standard camera used by the FBI action team was quite a remarkable tool. Not only could it take pictures selectively, but it could also conveniently "malfunction" or "run out of battery" when needed!
After Fuller departed with Daniel and the other four individuals, Jack also stood up.
Originally, Jack had planned to leave, even if Fuller hadn't brought anyone with him to conduct the typical FBI interview.
The person had been located, the situation had been explained to Arthur, and the investigation permit and Jack's IRS ID had been presented. Jack's mission this time was nearly completed.
It was entirely unfeasible for Arthur to produce all of the group's financial statements on the spot.
Jack's visit this time was essentially an ultimatum to Arthur, requiring him to prepare all the financial statements within three days. Afterward, Jack would scrutinize them thoroughly.
Naturally, in typical situations, IRS personnel would supervise the process step by step. However, for Jack, he was handling this operation single-handedly!
Jack didn't have the time to shadow Arthur, and it was probably futile to do so.
Financial statements would inevitably be doctored, which was precisely what Jack wanted.
In simpler terms, Jack was giving Arthur three days. During this time, he could create whatever fraudulent documents he pleased, but after three days, he must present everything to Jack!
As for whether the documents were genuine or not, did it make any difference to Jack? In any case, he could see through it!
With a mastery of taxation and accounting skills that could rival even the crafters of tax laws themselves, Jack possessed an unparalleled understanding of tax regulations, including their hidden loopholes waiting to be exploited.
This marked the critical juncture for Jack to set his plan into motion. Under the bewildered gaze of Arthur, he made a swift exit, leaving the latter in a state of utter confusion.
Arthur's bewilderment was palpable. Why had Jack departed so abruptly? His exit appeared premeditated, executed with a determined stride as if it had been rehearsed for ages. He would return in three days? Suspicion gnawed at Arthur. Could this be a trap? Would Jack genuinely allow himself to be so easily released, or did he leave a strategic window open for his own manipulations?
These questions swirled in Arthur's mind, leading him into a deep well of doubt. Yet, try as he might, he couldn't fathom Jack's motives.
After an extended period of contemplation, Arthur rallied his team of top-tier lawyers, instructing them to prepare for a legal battle with the IRS. Simultaneously, he urged the company's tax department to expedite the "statistical" analysis of financial statements.
Unconcerned with Arthur's thoughts, Jack steered his course straight to Bradley's office. Regardless of Arthur's machinations, Jack remained unfazed. With his formidable abilities, he only needed to discern the intricacies of Arthur's schemes and await the ripe moment for a fruitful outcome.
