Purifier Association

When Qi Yun got the news, he directly found the housework robot and asked it to connect to Lin Nuo’s optical brain and told the other party everything about the matter. He was an uninvited guest and had no right to make any decisions for the owner, including whether to open the door or not.

 

Moreover, before the matter was clarified, Qi Yun didn’t want to see any strangers. His reinforcements were still on the way and would arrive in three or four days at the earliest. In order to prevent complications, he had to hide his information as much as possible.

 

Now is not a good time to break up with Ms. Zhu Linglong. Without evidence, it is impossible to kill her with one strike. Instead, it will expose oneself to a more dangerous situation. Besides, Qi Yun has not yet decided whether to do this. Rather than letting the other party die in disgrace, he would rather go out on his own and have nothing to do with the other party.

 

…

 

Chai Rongguang stood at the gate of the manor, waiting impatiently. Under the sunlight, his extremely backward hairline made his head present two different lusters. It looked a little funny, but no one who followed him dared to laugh.

 

Their boss is not a kind person. Not only is he stingy, but he is also vindictive… But it’s no wonder. He is a “big shot” transferred from the Imperial Capital Star. Even if he hasn’t moved his position for more than ten years, he is a noble upper class in his bones. It is natural to look down on them.

 

The reason why it is called “slander” is that no matter how displeased you are, you can only hold it in your heart and dare not say it out. Several subordinates exchanged glances with each other, standing a few steps away from Chai Rongguang without saying a word, keeping their distance, and no one was willing to come forward.

 

Under normal circumstances, Chai Rongguang would have taken advantage of the situation to make a fuss, but not today. His attention was on the main road opposite the manor, anxiously waiting for his master to come back, and he was too lazy to care about the idiot subordinates behind him.

 

Ever since he was kicked to this godforsaken planet as a tax officer due to a mistake at work, he was not happy with anyone. He tried his best to transfer back over the years, but no matter the news he handed in or the gifts he sent out, they all fell into the sea and there was no news.

 

This time, he finally got an opportunity, and Chai Rongguang didn’t want to miss it at all. As long as he remembered the promise to transfer him to another position after the matter was done, he wished he could get everything done now and leave this shabby planet as soon as possible.

What’s more, the benefits of getting things done are double. In addition to the promise of leaving, there were also some thanks from the local natives. It wasn’t much, but who would find money biting?

 

Five days ago, the guy named Frollo found him with a small bag of gold coins, which were said to be treasures passed down from ancestors, hoping to help drive Lin Nuo and Gu Han away so that the family property could be recovered.

 

Chai Rongguang did not agree directly at the time. He did not know Lin Nuo’s background and did not want to affect the interests of certain people because of the money. Especially after his investigation, he was even more reluctant to intervene. He could get in touch with the Master of Purification, even if it was just a channel, and it was not easy to offend him.

 

However, a turning point happened three days ago. When Chai Rongguang was being harassed by Frollo, Lin Xuan approached him with a simple and clear purpose – to confiscate the manor, and it would be best if Lin Nuo and Gu Han were sent to the mining star together, and never come back in this life.

 

The next successor of the Lin family has spoken, so what is there to worry about? Just do it. Yes, the power of the Lin family is nothing on the Imperial Star, but the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. As long as there is a position there to accept him, Chai Rongguang can ensure that he can get out smoothly here.

As long as this one thing is done.

 

Although Chai Rongguang is greedy for money, he has always been very concerned about his job, and his mind is filled with all the legal provisions related to the taxation of Foka Star.

 

After sitting in the office for seven hours, Chai Rongguang found a fair way to deal with Lin Nuo. After collecting some evidence, he brought people to the manor, waiting to take away Lin Nuo’s money, or her people.

 

…

 

Lin Nuo came back not too late, Gu Han still stayed there to negotiate with those people. She could handle things by herself, so there was no need for her to come back like a conjoined twin.

What could the tax officer do? Either he wants money or wants to cause trouble. She had money, but if he wanted trouble… hehe, she wasn’t afraid of that.

 

“What wind has brought the tax officer here?” Lin Nuo stopped the car not far from Chai Rongguang. After getting out, she didn’t have a good attitude towards the man whose hairline was almost invisible. “As far as I know, the tax deadline hasn’t arrived yet. Do you have anything else to do this time?”

 

Chai Rongguang blinked his small eyes with a gleam in his eyes. He was a little annoyed by Lin Nuo’s impoliteness and said, “Why, you don’t want to invite me in and sit down?”

 

Lin Nuo looked at him curiously, “Can’t we talk here? Sir, we are not familiar with each other. My brother is not at home. I don’t want to bring strangers in. It’s not safe.”

 

Chai Rongguang smiled wryly “So, Miss Lin means that it’s safe here?”

Lin Nuo nodded, looking quite irritating in her matter-of-fact manner. She raised her hand and pointed at the protective devices on the gate of the manor, saying, “Of course, if you don’t believe me, look, if someone dares to do something inappropriate to me, the robot-controlled security device will kill the other person immediately – I remember that the law of our Foka Star defines private property as 3 meters outside the gate?”

 

She was standing right in the range, and if Chai Rongguang wanted to use force, it would be reasonable to beat him to death – provided that the other party did not have a formal arrest warrant and search warrant.

 

However, how could the tax officer have such things, unless they jointly enforced the law, but she did not intend to evade taxes, so she had to find another excuse first.

 

Lin Nuo’s undisguised threat of force made the only smile on Chai Rongguang’s face disappear. He subconsciously took two steps back to the position opposite the door, turned on the light brain, and sent a copy of the prepared document to Lin Nuo face to face.

 

“According to the Species Protection Act, your estate has recently planted exotic plants and is subject to additional taxes. This should have been reported on the day of planting, but you chose to conceal it, so you have to pay late fees, a total of 324,170 star dollars. If you don’t pay it today, it will be 405,212.5 tomorrow.”

Lin Nuo imitated Gu Han and folded his arms and sneered, “This is asking for trouble. Tsk tsk, if you weren’t wearing the tax officer’s uniform, I would have thought I accidentally borrowed from a loan shark.”

 

She had never heard of such a clause, but she did not doubt its authenticity. There was really no need for the other party to bring a group of subordinates to lie to her. It was probably because some ancient clauses had loopholes, and he was using them to cause trouble at this time.

 

Chai Rongguang showed his fake smile again, and said slowly: “The little girl is quite good at talking, but this is official business after all, and it’s useless for you to vent your anger on me. I just want to remind you that once the tax plus the late payment fee exceeds 500,000 yuan, we will apply to freeze the assets under your name. If you are insolvent, you will have to go to the mining star.”

 

Lin Nuo said “Hehe” and looked at Chai Rongguang as if she was looking at a fly: “Mr. Tax Officer, why didn’t you come to inform us earlier? Allowing uninformed taxpayers to delay payment of taxes until late payment fees appear – don’t you think this is dereliction of duty?”

 

Chai Rongguang didn’t care: “I’m not derelict in my duty. This kind of thing is originally a matter of no action unless it is reported. Since someone has exposed it, I can’t pretend I don’t know, right?”

 

Lin Nuo raised his eyebrows: “You mean someone has reported to you about our planting of exotic plants?”

 

Chai Rongguang laughed maliciously like a vulture, and then casually pointed to the bushes on his left: “Aren’t they right there? Your neighbor, Mr. Frollo.”

 

Lin Nuo turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw the mole-like neighbor jumping out, chattering in his dialect. Even though she couldn’t understand it, she knew he was definitely cursing her.

 

Lin Nuo glanced at it coldly, retracted her gaze, took out her light brain, and looked up the protection law he mentioned in front of Chai Rongguang. The system gave only a few answers. She clicked on them one by one and found that without exception, it was stated that this was a special law and would not take effect unless there was a protest from the local indigenous people with an interest in it.

 

“Mr. Tax Officer, it also says here that an investigation is needed to confirm that it will indeed have an impact on local crops before taxes will be paid – may I ask if you have investigated?”

 

Chai Rongguang smiled and said nonchalantly: “No matter what crops you bring, they will have an impact on the local thorn tomato market. This is a foregone conclusion that there is no need for an investigation. Blame the native crops of this planet. Who made it uncompetitive?”

 

“Okay, I get it.” Lin Nuo closed the search interface and said lightly, “Isn’t it just money? Issue the formal procedures and I will transfer the money directly to the tax account.”

 

“It’s okay for you to delay – what? Pay the money?” Chai Rongguang said halfway through his words when he realized what Lin Nuo said. He was immediately shocked and blurted out what he was thinking, “Where did you get so much money! Sir clearly said-”

 

His voice stopped abruptly. Lin Nuo keenly captured the key words, staring at Chai Rongguang with burning eyes, and said bluntly: “Sir? Who!”

 

It couldn’t be Frollo. If it was the other party, Chai Rongguang would not have looked over there at all in such astonishment. Lin Nuo didn’t think this was a pretense. He could only guess that there was someone behind the other party, and it should be someone with a higher status than him, otherwise he wouldn’t use the word “Sir”.

 

It seems that the other party came prepared today. He found Frollo, a local who had a vested interest, to be the informant, and then confirmed that she was a poor man with no money… His purpose was not only to take back the manor, but more importantly, he probably wanted to send herself and Gu Han to the mining star.

 

If that’s the case, the scope of suspects was narrowed down at once. There were only three families who hated her so much and wanted to seize the manor industry.

 

The four local families represented by Song Heishou, District Chief Lu who developed the economy of the three districts, and the Lin family who was far away in the Imperial Capital Star but had secretly taken the life of the original body.

 

Lin Nuo couldn’t tell which one it was, and needed more clues to judge, but the guy in front of her was very easy to deal with.

 

Just throw money at him.

 

Chai Rongguang didn’t come alone. He also brought his subordinates. He wanted to show off his power and fill the scene, but at this time he shot himself in the foot. He wanted to delay the process of handling Lin Nuo’s formalities, but the people behind him would not do so.

 

Seeing that this was a battle between gods, they would naturally not get involved casually. It was their job to handle the formal procedures for taxpayers. Even if Chai Rongguang was unwilling, he would not be able to make it public. As long as they stick to their original intentions and complete their duties conscientiously, they would not cause more trouble.

 

At most, they would be punished by Chai Rongguang if he makes some indirect complaints, but if he didn’t do this, would he stop finding fault with him?

 

So, let’s get down to business.

 

So in just a few minutes, Lin Nuo got what she wanted, and after the optical computer system confirmed that it was correct, she directly transferred the full amount of taxes to the official account in one go, settling the inexplicable extra taxes.

 

“The debt has been paid, but the real tax payment time has not yet arrived. Mr. Tax Officer, please do as you please. I will not accompany you.”

 

After saying that, Lin Nuo walked into the manor without looking back. The door slowly closed behind her, but opened again a few minutes later. A silly robot ran out, holding a bucket of water in his hand, and poured it directly at Chai Rongguang’s feet.

 

“The lady said the ground is dirty and needs to be flushed.”

 

The robot poured the water and turned away, leaving Chai Rongguang, who was so angry that his head was glowing, standing there with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

 

The author has something to say: I brought my 16-year-old dog home these two days. It seems that it sleeps for almost 20 hours a day. The whole dog has become a lot more demented, and it is not as responsive as before. It has to hesitate for a long time before eating. Alas…
