After coming out of the Golden Diamond Law Firm, Johnny looked at the sunny cityscape, yet he felt his own world suddenly darkening.
He was very despondent.
After paying two hundred and sixty dollars, he had less than one hundred and fifty dollars left in cash, and all his money in the bank was frozen.
What was more troubling was what he heard from Mr. Gus. Even if this case reached what they considered, the most ideal level, where the judge supported Johnny in unintentionally underreporting due to ignorance of the local tax laws, he would still need to pay a large fine.
This wasn't targeting anyone; every person who went to court for such matters would face this situation.
Moreover, since his bakery had been in business for many years, the Tax Bureau might punish him for up to ten to twenty years of tax evasion.
He had to prepare at least three thousand yuan to face what was coming.
