America 1919
Chapter 579: 208. The Fallen Coshek Kevin_2
Although the report mentioned Coshek Kevin personally, the impact of such incidents is never isolated to the individual, the IRS as an employer will definitely be affected as well.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Coshek Kevin, having lost all composure by then, desperately sought help from the first person who called him: "Mika, you must help me with this, if you don't, the reputation of the IRS will be affected too!"
"Otherwise, why do you think I'd call you!" Michael Ribeiro said, "Right now, what's most important for you is to find Cecil, seek his help. Only with Congress stepping in can the impact of this matter be minimized and the IRS's reputation kept intact!"
With agony in his voice, Coshek Kevin said, "Do you think I don't want to? Cecil has been ignoring my calls since yesterday!"
"Last night?" Michael Ribeiro pondered for a moment and then said, "This means Cecil must have known about this beforehand, but that's not important anymore. Even if Cecil won't answer your calls, you still have to find him, you must seek his help; without it, you won't make it through this!"
"Right!" Coshek Kevin, completely at his wit's end, immediately responded, "I'll go find Cecil now, I must get him to help me!"
"Good, you go find Cecil and I'll investigate who gave the news to "The Washington Post.""
After saying that, Michael Ribeiro hung up the phone, picked up his jacket, and prepared to leave!

The Ribeiro family lived in a fairly spacious apartment. As the door opened, Michael Ribeiro, standing in the living room, saw that it was his son, Eric Ribeiro, who had returned.
With a slight frown, Michael Ribeiro asked, "You should be in Philadelphia at this time, why are you back?"
Eric Ribeiro took off his coat, a smile on his face: "Are you going to "The Washington Post"?"
"That's right!" nodded Michael Ribeiro, "Although Kevin is a fool, in this instance, he represents the IRS. If his reputation is tarnished, the IRS's reputation will surely suffer as well!"
Sitting on the sofa, Eric Ribeiro said, "Then you don't need to go, I was the one who had someone tell "The Washington Post.""
Michael Ribeiro's brows suddenly knit together, and in a split second, he guessed why Eric Ribeiro had done it.
"What you've done won't help me, it will instead put me in a dilemma!"
Eric Ribeiro explained, "No, because people at "The Washington Post" have no idea it was me who sent it. Besides...."
Then, Eric Ribeiro told Michael Ribeiro that he had already given the information to Bixir Hilmandy in advance.
Michael Ribeiro sat opposite Eric Ribeiro, his expression complex: "Such a cunning scheme. Even if Bixir Hilmandy doesn't want to admit that he didn't do this, nobody will believe him. If someone adds fuel to the fire, even if Bixir Hilmandy exposes you, no one will believe it was your doing. They'll just think he's recklessly lashing out in desperation."
As he said this, Michael Ribeiro looked at Eric Ribeiro with a pained expression and said, "I never expected you would ally yourself with Donnie Block, how much did you get out of this deal?"
Eric Ribeiro shook his head with a smile, "Indeed, there are some benefits, but the benefits I want aren't limited to what Donnie has offered!"
"You should know, although I want to be the director of the IRS, I want even less for someone to tarnish the IRS's reputation!" said Michael Ribeiro.
"Dad, letting Coshek Kevin become the director would be the greatest harm to the IRS's reputation. Only you can lead the IRS to glory!" Eric Ribeiro exclaimed with some fervor.
"And what good would it do for me to become the director? Because of you, I will be controlled by Donnie Block, so whose side will I stand on then, the IRS's or yours?"
Michael Ribeiro said helplessly.
He swore that if the person sitting across from him weren't his son, he would have already called the IRS to have them take this man away!
But... this was his own son!
They were the only two left in the Ribeiro family!
Calmly, Eric Ribeiro said, "Dad, we can dissect this matter more. Don't you still think the IRS can succeed in their investigation of Donnie at this point?"
Michael Ribeiro was somewhat speechless, having already realized that it was now impossible to find anything against Donnie Block.
"Dad, I admit, what Donnie has done does break IRS laws, but so what? The whole United States, aside from the public who knows nothing, who hasn't done something against IRS laws?
Now, before my return, Donnie had already handed over all the evidence against Harry Rosenthal in Philadelphia to me. If I want, the IRS can take Harry Rosenthal away today.
As long as we can cooperate with Donnie, then evidence of illegalities by all the crime families in America will cease to be a problem, and we can catch more criminals then."
