American Tax Officer-Chapter 528 - 270: Governor of California_2

Even though this is the Governor’s Mansion, he couldn’t guarantee deep down that David wouldn’t really bring people to knock on the door.

So, having the police over serves a dual purpose, one is to be more cautious, and the other is to make it clear, I, Bogwana, will protect the Sackler family. I hope you, David, have the sense to recognize this!

Upon hearing this, Hanson’s expression immediately darkened.

As America’s second-largest city, Los Angeles’s security measures are extremely tight. Where the hell are these terrorists coming from?

Even if there were terrorists, would they dare attack the Governor of a state?

This is sheer nonsense.

It seems that the information he had received not long ago was very likely accurate.

It was said that the Sackler family had received Bogwana’s protection and had already been settled here at this Second Official Residence.

And the reason they wanted to deploy police forces was simply to hinder David and the City Bureau of the National Tax Bureau’s investigation.

Although he thought so, Hanson didn’t speak plainly but tactfully declined, "Governor, when it comes to dealing with terrorists... our police force won’t be much help. How about this, I’ll contact the FBI for you; they’re very good at this sort of thing, perhaps they could come?"

He wasn’t a fool. David had made it clear he was sharpening his knife, ready to make a move on the Sackler family. What if he got involved and David came after him?

Keep in mind, David had not refrained from taking action against officials like him. In Nevada State, he had managed to send quite a few officials to the courts, sentencing them to millennia of imprisonment.

Hanson shook his head and said, "We don’t need the FBI. I have plenty of security personnel here; some help from your officers will suffice."

"That’s just it, Governor. You see, the City of Los Angeles is currently engaged in the ’Thunder Operation’, and our officers from all the major districts have been dispatched there to maintain order. We can’t spare any police force right now, I hope you can understand..."

The implication in Hanson’s words was now quite clear; he was saying I know you want to block David’s investigation of the Sackler family, but I can’t deal with this messy situation, please let me off!

"What’s this, Bureau Chief Hanson? Does what I, the Governor of California, say not carry any weight anymore?"

"No, that’s not it, Governor..."

Hanson was very troubled, but then he gritted his teeth and decided, "Alright, let’s speak frankly, Governor. I’ve heard about the Sacklers being here, and I only know that you want to protect them, but as you know, serving in Los Angeles, getting involved with David would bring me a lot of trouble, so I’d prefer not to get involved in this matter. Of course, apart from this issue, I will certainly not decline any future requests from you."

"Let me tell you the truth, for certain reasons, I must protect them, but this matter has nothing to do with you. You just need to follow my orders and get the people here!"

"Governor, I..."

"One word, are you going to call them or not!"

"I... Alright, Governor. But I must declare, I don’t want to clash with David and the National Tax Bureau to the bitter end. If it really becomes impossible to handle, you can’t blame me."

Under the pressure of the other’s status as Governor, Hanson ultimately had no choice but to comply.

But he also left himself an out in his words.

Meaning, he was telling Bogwana that he could call people over, but when it came down to it, he would definitely not engage in a direct confrontation with David and the National Tax Bureau.

"That’ll do then, you may go attend to your duties, Bureau Chief Hanson."

Although Bogwana was somewhat displeased, he knew this was the other’s bottom line and it wouldn’t be good to press further.

Once Hanson had left, the Sackler family came out from the back of the hall, with Arthur sincerely saying, "Governor Bogwana, thank you for everything you have done for us."

He certainly knew that Bogwana had the police called in for their safety.

"There’s no need for such words, just stay put here for now."

...

Los Angeles, City Bureau of the National Tax Bureau.

"Chief, we’ve just received news that the Governor of California, Bogwana, has taken the Sacklers to his Second Official Residence, and he also summoned Police Chief Hanson, ordering him to deploy a large number of officers to station there..."

Nisen entered the office and let out all the news he had just learned.

After listening to the whole story, David’s eyebrows also raised in surprise.

The Governor of California is getting involved?

But as far as he knew, although the Governor of California was a Jew, he didn’t have much of a connection with the Sackler family.

If he was offering protection just based on being the same ethnicity, wasn’t that a bit far-fetched? Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy

What exactly happened here?

Not sitting in Bogwana’s position, David couldn’t quite grasp the Governor’s thinking, nor could he understand the Governor’s actions at the moment.

However, now that the other party had become involved, deliberating over this had no meaning. What was urgent was how to resolve this situation.

The Governor of California, often called the ’little president’ of America, certainly wielded an influence that a Governor like Stevenson couldn’t compare with. Moreover, being an elite among the Jewish people, the situation had become a bit tricky...

"Chief, if Bogwana is really determined to protect them at his mansion, that would indeed be tricky..."

David nodded his head in agreement with Nisen’s words, then asked, "How’s the evidence against the Sackler family coming along?"

"It’s mostly complete; I estimate another two days, and it should be entirely wrapped up."
