Chapter 369: Two CIA officials resign
"Director Sawyer, do you think this is important now?"

David's answer made Sawyer's face twist even more.

Yes, since David went to so much trouble to find these negative materials and came to his house, how could he have come just to chat with him?
There must be some conspiracy!
Thinking of this, he tried to calm down a little, and then asked: "Tell me, Chief David, what do you want me to do!"

"It's simple, I need you to resign, it's that simple!"

David said slowly.

Hearing this, Hulk clenched his fists unconsciously.

He started out as a small intelligence agent in the CIA and spent decades of hard work to climb to this high position. Now, with just one sentence, he is asked to resign and give up his bright future. How can he be willing to do that!

"Inspector General David, you cannot interfere in CIA affairs. Even if I am willing to quit, the Intelligence Agency is an important department after all. The President will not let me quit without special circumstances!"

Sawyer, unwilling to step down, could only threaten the president.

He originally thought that David would be afraid when he mentioned the president.

Unexpectedly, David not only showed no fear, but also sneered: "What he said doesn't count!"

"you……"

Sawyer suppressed his anger and asked, "Inspector General David, I know that you may be unhappy about my leaking your whereabouts to Speaker Nanxi, but he is the Speaker of the House and I cannot offend him. I hope you will forgive me this time. If I need your help in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

It must be said that although Sawyer was angry at this time, he had not lost his mind. Seeing that the situation was difficult to resolve, he directly expressed his intention to follow David's lead.

Anyway, for him, the most important thing is to keep his position and the power in his hands, and everything else is secondary!
But unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the main reason why David wanted to move against him this time was actually for his own safety.

After all, since the other party was able to leak his whereabouts to Nan Xi, he could also leak it to the three major groups in the future, putting him in a threatening situation.

So even if the other party surrenders, it will be useless. Only when the other party is taken down and Elvis takes charge of this important department, will he feel at ease!
"Director Sawyer, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. I want you to leave now, and leave with dignity. Your money, your freedom, and your network of connections are all still there. If you don't want to leave with dignity, then I will definitely find a way to help you leave with dignity!"

Hearing David's resolute tone, Sawyer gradually became pale.

It seems that the other party will never let him go!

And just as David said, if he voluntarily stepped down now, he could still have a dignified ending.

Otherwise, the information David has is enough to convict him of tax evasion, treason, abuse of power, etc.

What awaits him then will not only be disgrace, but he may even spend life in prison. What's worse, this may become another big scandal for the CIA.

Because he is the director of the Intelligence Department, and he is definitely a senior official in the CIA. It would be shocking if such a senior official was involved in so many crimes.

While Sawyer was still struggling with his thoughts, Elvis was also feeling a lot of emotions.

Ever since David called him a few days ago and asked him to reveal Sawyer's whereabouts, he knew that his boss, the director, would definitely be investigated.

But he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he actually grasped the lifeline of his own director.

What exactly is recorded in this document?
How could the CIA's intelligence director be reduced to a fish on a chopping board?

"Okay, I'll do as you ask..."

After a lot of psychological and psychological struggles, Sawyer's reason overcame his anger and he chose to compromise.

"Take out your phone."

"Ok?"

Sawyer was a little confused and didn't know why David asked him to do this.

"Call your Deputy Chief Heltz and ask him to come over and have a chat."

"What, you...what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything else. Just say it's urgent and ask him to come over to talk. Hurry up. My time is limited."

"That's...okay!"

In the end, Sawyer didn't dare to say no, so he could only call Helz.

……

About twenty minutes later.

"Sawyer, you asked me to come here so urgently, if you can't give me an explanation..."

Helz complained as he pushed the door open.

But when he came in, he saw that besides Sawyer, there were a group of people here. He was stunned for a moment, but soon asked, "Deputy Director Elvis, why are you here too?"

"Deputy Director Helts, this is Inspector General David from the IRS. He wants to talk to you."

"What, David?"

Helz was startled at first, then he suddenly looked up and back, and sure enough, he saw David sitting on the sofa.

But as the deputy director of the CIA, he had seen countless storms and soon calmed down.

Then he walked to the sofa and sat down, and asked in a calm tone: "I didn't expect to meet the famous Inspector General David here. It's a pleasure to meet you."

David smiled, pointed to the document he had shown Sawyer before, and said, "Deputy Director Helts, why don't you take a look at this document."

Sawyer's expression tightened, his lips moved slightly, but he still couldn't say anything in the end, and let Helz pick up the document.

But not long after, Heertz's face darkened after reading it. His husband glanced at Sawyer, then at David, and asked, "Inspector David, what do you mean by this?"

"Director Sawyer, perhaps you can explain this to Deputy Director Helts."

"This……"

Sawyer was a little embarrassed, but he finally looked at Helz and said, "Deputy Director Sawyer, I will submit my resignation to the Director tomorrow..."

Helz's face became even gloomier. At this point, he certainly understood that it was because of this document that Sawyer said he would submit his resignation.

But Sawyer was his right-hand man after all, and he certainly didn't want to see this happen. He looked at David and said, "Inspector General David, our CIA and your IRS have always kept to themselves. We have even cooperated on many issues before. If there is anything, we can discuss it in a good way. There is no need to bring it to this point. What do you think?"

"Yes, but what you said about keeping out of each other's way was a thing of the past. Since Deputy Director Sawyer leaked my whereabouts, it's a different matter now."

"What, you..."

Haltz looked at Sawyer. He finally understood why David came to call him to task. This was the reason.

"Director Sawyer will resign of his own accord. Of course, as his direct supervisor, Deputy Director Helts is also to blame. I heard that your grandson was born not long ago. Why don't you go back together to enjoy your retirement?" "What did you say!"

Haierzi's eyes were as big as copper bells. He certainly understood what the other party meant. He immediately said angrily: "Impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible! Deputy Director Helts, I said something to Director Sawyer before, and now I say the same thing to you, 'You can be decent on your own, otherwise, I will help you be decent'!"

David said in a cold tone.

But this angered Helts even more. He glared and said, "David, don't think you are invincible just because you have a strong IRS presence. It is not your turn to dictate what happens to our CIA!"

"Really? So you're sure you want to go against me, right?"

"you……"

Helts wanted to continue his outburst, but Sawyer grabbed his wrist and said, "Inspector General David, this is indeed unacceptable. Can I persuade Deputy Director Helts alone?"

"Please!"

After getting David's consent, Sawyer immediately took Heitz into a room.

As soon as he entered here, Helz started to curse: "Fuck, what on earth are you doing? You are the director of the CIA Intelligence Department, why did you let him catch so many handles?"

Of course he had reason to be angry. As she said, Sawyer was the director of the CIA's Intelligence Division.

He is a big intelligence chief who specializes in catching other people's handles, but now he has been caught with so many handles. This can be said to be a rebellion against Tiangang.

"I... Deputy Director Helz, you know how powerful David is. Besides, we have a 'traitor' here, so I..."

Helz was a little embarrassed, but still tried to defend himself.

When Heard heard this, Heltz became even angrier and cursed, "Damn Elvis, I'll make sure he gets what he deserves!"

"Director Haierzi, this matter is not important now. What is important is that we must do as he asks. You also know how ruthless he is. Otherwise, we will end up in disgrace..."

The reason why Sawyer called Helz over was, of course, to give him some advice.

Things he did, such as exchanging intelligence, were actually allowed by the deputy director, so the two of them were like grasshoppers on the same rope.

Whoever makes a mistake will suffer for the other.

"Are you crazy, Sawyer? If we resign as he asked, how are we going to explain this to the director and the president?"

Haierzi still didn't listen. They were asked to give up a bright future. How could he be willing to see all these years of hard work go to waste?

"How can we explain to the director and the president if we resign? But if we don't do as he says, once this scandal gets out, it will affect our families. Think about the consequences, Deputy Director Heilzi."

When he heard the word "family", Haierzi could no longer argue.

If some of the deals they made with the Bear Country agents were exposed, they could be accused of treason and collaboration with the enemy.

With such a serious crime, their family will never be able to hold their heads up in America again!

Seeing that Helz seemed to be much more sober, Sawyer continued to add: "Although we have abdicated, our network of relationships is still there. We can support our own confidants to take over. By then, what difference will it make from being in this position?"

"It's easy for you to think about it. David is obviously going to strongly support that damn Elvis now. If we step down, all the resources will probably be taken over by him!"

"At least this is better than having a scandal exposed and ending up in disgrace, right?"

When Sawyer first heard that he was asked to resign, he was still very unwilling, but now with Helts as a scapegoat, he was actually more receptive.

"You damn bastard, you've dragged me into this time!"

Heilzi still felt unwilling in his heart. If Sawyer had not been caught, he would not have been implicated like this.

"Deputy Director Haierzi, this matter is indeed my responsibility. I am so sorry..."

"Haha, what's the point of saying this now, bastard!"

Haierzi didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so he pushed the door open and walked out first.

Sawyer followed closely behind, and the two returned to the hall one after another.

"Well, tell me your decision!"

Seeing the two people coming back, David, who was crossing his legs, asked.

"Okay, I'll do as you ask, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"I can submit my resignation, but if I want to work in another department, I hope you won't stop me."

With his experience as deputy director of the CIA, it would be easy for him to work in other departments, which was also one of the factors that made Helts finally willing to compromise.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to accept the sudden loss of power.

"Okay, but in exchange, I need you to do me a small favor."

The reason why David wanted to get rid of these two people was not only because Sawyer did threaten his safety, but also mainly because he wanted to control the CIA more firmly.

So as long as these two people leave this organization, he doesn't mind them taking up positions in other departments.

"What's the deal?"

David pointed at Elvis and said, "After you step down, I hope you can recommend Elvis to be the director of the CIA Intelligence Department. Is that okay?"

Although he had already guessed David's purpose, Elvis was still moved after hearing this.

Judging from the current trend, these two people will most likely have no choice but to obey.

And with the recommendation of the CIA's Intelligence Director and the deputy director in charge, promotion is basically a sure thing!

At this time, Haltz and Sawyer's faces turned blue and purple.

Why would they be willing to compromise so easily?

In fact, there is another secret, which is that after he abdicates, he can promote his own people to the position, so as to achieve the effect of behind-the-scenes control.

But now that David asked for this, their plan failed.

After thinking for a while, Sawyer said, "Inspector General David, you promised before that you would keep my network after I retired, but now..."
