American Tax Officer-Chapter 752 - 377: Voting Begins, Successive Defections

Chapter 752: Chapter 377: Voting Begins, Successive Defections

“The time is still early, please everyone enjoy tonight’s banquet!”

After finishing his speech, David went down to the area where the Florida congressmen were seated and asked, “Gentlemen, how are things over there?”

“Following your instructions, the Angsa people should believe us now, and tomorrow we are going to give them a ‘big surprise’!”

“If they really count our votes, then it’s their own bad luck!”

“Heh heh, I can hardly wait to see their dumbfounded faces tomorrow.”

The congressmen spoke in a teasing tone.

...

“Alright, then let’s wait and watch the ‘good show’!”

David knew that some congressmen from his own side had already been turned by The Big Three Groups and were preparing to give him a ‘surprise’ tomorrow.

And of course, he was not to be outdone.

Thus, several days in advance, he had already informed some congressmen in his camp who had been courted by The Big Three Groups to also pretend to be persuaded and to give them a ‘surprise’ tomorrow!

Speaking of it, this move reminded him of the movie Infernal Affairs!

Both sides had infiltrated spies in each other’s camps, all kinds of calculations!

…

In the time that followed, David continuously moved around the area, engaging in talks with congressmen from various states while also secretly activating his scrutiny feature to inspect each of them.

With his scrutiny, he managed to identify some mole congressmen from the subtle clues.

However, he did not act immediately but continued to talk to them as if nothing had happened and then went to look for other targets.

By 9:30, David rubbed his eyes and sat down at the bar.

He had almost finished inspecting all the congressmen present, but had only confirmed five or six mole congressmen.

Of course, this didn’t mean there were only those few; the system’s scrutiny feature didn’t reveal every detail.

This thought gave him quite a headache.

“What’s wrong?”

David turned to see Selina had approached him unnoticed; he quickly collected his thoughts and replied, “What’s the matter, Miss Selina?”

“Nothing, you just looked troubled, so I asked.”

“Just a bit tired.”

“You’ve been running around a lot lately because of this bill; it must be hard on you.”

“Well, there’s no helping it, we’ve come to this point, it has to be done. Let’s not talk about this, tell me about yourself, how have you been lately?”

David first sighed, then changed the subject.

He hadn’t seen Selina in a long time after all.

Selina’s expression turned bitter and said, “I’m doing worse than before. At least I could go out before, but now, I can only stay at home, and coming here tonight marks the first time I’ve stepped out of my house in a while.”

“I believe it’s your father thinking of your safety, but don’t worry, if this bill passes and becomes law successfully, I believe things will improve a lot.”

“Maybe…”

In the time that followed, the two chatted freely for a while until Manson came over and told David that Director Obadiah was looking for him; he then stood up and left.

Watching David’s departing figure, Selina’s eyes changed from complex when she arrived to relaxed.

Through their conversation, it was clear she had shed some of her burdens.

In the hotel lobby, the invited congressmen were still drinking and talking merrily, and the time unknowingly reached eleven o’clock.

At that time, David stepped up to the central stage and said into the microphone, “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s getting late, and we have to prepare for the vote in Congress early tomorrow, so let’s end tonight’s banquet here. Thank you all for coming.”

“Alright, Chief Inspector David, we’ll take our leave.”

“Goodbye, Chief Inspector David.”

“Goodbye, Director Obadiah…”

“Goodbye, Consultant Welton Heng…”

…

The invited congressmen said their goodbyes and orderly exited.

David went over to where Director Obadiah and other senior IRS officials were, saying, “Director, Consultant Welton Heng, it’s late, you should also go back and rest.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow!”

Director Obadiah and the others also turned to leave.

Soon after, back in his apartment, David lay in bed after washing up, but even though it was late at night, he found himself tossing and turning.

For this bill, he had used all his cunning, but despite this, he still couldn’t guarantee that it would pass the House of Congressman by one hundred percent tomorrow.

If it really failed, how would he clean up the situation?

It was a thought-provoking question.

Meanwhile, it wasn’t only David who was having a sleepless night; people from The Big Three Groups were also restless.

Each of The Big Three Groups had existed for several hundred years, weathering countless storms over the centuries.

It was these experiences that had cemented their supreme position.

If the bill passed, it would not only result in a significant loss of benefits for them but would also severely damage their accumulated prestige.

This consequence was equally unbearable for them.

Apart from the IRS and The Big Three Groups, at this moment, other ordinary citizens of America who were concerned about this bill were also excited and eagerly awaiting the dawn.
