Chapter 957
Jen–Bond Holdings had their own connections in Souz River.
They could be putting pressure from that side and those government offices in River City naturally had
to obey.
James did not come to an agreement with Sean, so he wanted to use such a dirty trick on him.
It would be best if he could obtain information to use against Sean. Even if James failed to find one,
Sean would still be left to deal with this in a pinch.
Sean had been too kind in the beginning after all.
He even wondered at some point if his means of dealing with the Zimmer Corporation had been too
harsh.
When compared to Jen–Bond Holdings‘ tricks, it truly paled in comparison.
Jen–Bond Holdings‘ ploys were truly what one would call unscrupulous.
“Do
you understand?
“If you do, then please come with us.”
The middle–aged man urged again.
“If you need anything, we can talk about it here.
“There’s no need to go out, right?”
Zander stepped forward with a cold look in his eyes.
“Hmm? Are you trying to obstruct official business?”
The middle–aged man’s eyes were even colder than Zander’s.
“What!”
Zander was feeling a little stunned in his heart.
They were merely government officers in a small town. How could they be so arrogant?
When Sean was in power, he was the leader of the entire Souz River, let alone this small government
office in River City. They should be well–behaved, and extremely deferential in front of Sean.
However, even a small town’s government officers were planning on taking Sean away right now.
This made Zander feel extremely resentful.
“Do you want us to get more relevant departments to intervene before you’re willing to
cooperate?
“I’m telling you nicely. If you come with us now, it’s called assisting with the investigation.
“But if you insist on us applying for an arrest warrant beforehand, this matter’s going to blow up!”
The middle–aged man snorted coldly, his tone filled with threats.
Zander’s expression was getting gloomier.
Had he ever been subjected to such petty annoyances before?
Even without Sean’s identity, Zander himself had a rather high rank in the army.novelbin
He could be regarded as the same rank as a feudal vassal according to the division of local positions.
Nonetheless, the person from a puny department dared to speak to him with such an
attitude.
It made Zander feel powerless in foreign territory.
“It’s alright, Zander. I’ll go with them.”
Sean spoke softly, and Zander had no choice but to abide.
“Alas. Mr. Lennon’s truly a wise man who knows the ins and outs.
“You have to understand that although River City is small, it’s not as simple as you think.
“Some things don’t just go the way you want them to.”
When the middle–aged man saw Sean being submissive to him, there was a hint of arrogance on his
face.
Even if he was simply here to handle work.
He could not miss out on James‘ great offer, so he naturally looked for ways to get Sean.
“So are you saying things will usually go your way instead?”
Sean glanced at the middle–aged man and said with a very calm tone.
The middle–aged man was in high spirits at this time, and he could not help but burst into laughter.
“You’re exactly right.
“At the very least, if I ask you to follow me right now, you’ll have to come with me.”
The middle–aged glanced at Sean, his eyes filled with pride.
“Who’s the one talking in such an arrogant tone?”
Before Sean could speak, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.
When they heard this voice, everyone turned their heads subconsciously.
A group of four people walked in.
Among them, there was one person whom Sean and the others, as well as several staff members of
the tax department and staff administration knew.
It turned out to be Damian, the director of the CIA.
Although they were not familiar with the other three, their auras were remarkable.
The crucial thing was that Sean noticed how Damian was not walking at the front, but was behind
another middle–aged man.
The sentence uttered earlier was said by this middle–aged man.
Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed like the identity of the middle–aged person at the front was
surely more than meets the eye!
Damian was second to none in River City.
However, even with his identity, he was walking behind that middle–aged man.
One could only imagine how high–ranking the status of the middle–aged person was.
“Hi, Director Wool. This is…?”
The officers wearing official hats quickly greeted them.
“My name’s Colton Freeman. This is my ID.”
The middle–aged man in front of Damian took out a small notebook with a badge in it.
The man who was about to take Sean away glanced at it, and his eyes quickly widened in shock. There
was even a sudden change on the look on his face.
Immediately afterward, his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Swoosh!
The middle–aged man closed the notebook and handed it over to Colton with both hands.
“Mr. Freeman, I… We…”
The middle–aged man was so nervous that he could not even utter a complete sentence.
A big shot from the Souz River!
Moreover, he was a person in the top office in Souz River.
Such an identity, for the personnel from a small city’s government office, Colton was akin to an imperial
commissioner.
None of them would dare to stir up trouble in front of Colton!
As for the authenticity of Colton’s identity, the guy did not dare to have the slightest doubt.
After all, with Damian standing there, how could he be a fake?
As he thought of this, the middle–aged tax officer was drenched with sweat on his forehead.
