People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Ian and Cathy were both startled and quickly took several steps back.

Seeing this, Mickey laughed heartily, "Haha."

Mandy couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, stop fooling around, Ian, Cassie, you've mistaken me for someone else, you know?"

Ian and Cathy didn't dare to say a word, they just nodded repeatedly.

Mickey ignored him, grabbed a few items, and walked to the counter. "Get a bag and a pack of Marlboro cigarettes."

Upon hearing this, Kathy didn't dare to dawdle and immediately did as she was told.

Mickey packed his things, then pulled a wad of bills totaling ten thousand US dollars from his suit pocket and casually tossed it onto the counter. "That's enough to pay for everything I've taken for free here all these years."

Upon hearing this, and seeing the banknotes on the counter…

Kathy felt like she was dreaming.

What the hell happened?

Mickey ignored him and started walking out with his things in his arms.

Mandy felt sorry for Mickey, that spendthrift, for giving him so much money, but after hesitating for a moment, she didn't say anything and followed Mickey.

They left the grocery store.

“You can’t spend your money like this,” Mandy finally couldn’t help but complain.

Mickey shook his head with a smile, "You haven't seen how my boss spends money. If you did, you'd be terrified."

Mandy couldn't imagine, "Your boss is your boss, and you are you."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go," Mickey said, too lazy to argue with Mandy about this kind of issue.

The two continued walking.

In the general store.

Cathy took a while to recover, then quickly picked up the ten thousand US dollars on the table, stuffed it into the inside pocket of her jacket, turned to look at the entrance, and let out a long sigh of relief, "He's struck it rich!"

Ian nodded. "Probably."

Time flies.

With Mandy by his side, Mickey visited many of his usual haunts and reminisced about the past.

Afterwards, seeing that it was getting late, Mickey drove Mandy to the city center and found a high-end-looking restaurant for dinner.

After dinner.

Too lazy to go back, Mickey found a hotel in the city center, booked two rooms, and stayed there.

This busy day has now come to an end.

-

a new day.

Miami.

It's about ten o'clock in the morning.

At the entrance of Dongfeng Security, stood a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

Behind the iron fence, four guards, each holding a gun, aimed at the middle-aged man.

The atmosphere between the two sides was somewhat tense.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm not here to cause trouble. I'd like to have a talk with Mr. Ding."

Hear the words.

One of the guards, without wasting a word, immediately pressed the intercom to contact John Abruzzi and reported the situation, "General Manager, FBI Agent Alex Mahone is at the door, what should we do?"

Abruzzi was genuinely surprised to hear this. "Just him alone?"

"Ah."

"Did he say why he came?" Abruzzi asked.

"They said they wanted to talk to Mr. Ding."

Abruzzi hadn't forgotten that Ding Ze had made some arrangements for Ma Hong before, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Wait for my notification."

After saying that, Abruzzi turned off the walkie-talkie and immediately picked up the satellite phone to call Ding Ze.

Mexico.

Ding Ze and Janet were dressed like ordinary tourists, wearing brightly colored clothes as they strolled through the scenic area.

The phone rings.

Ding Ze pressed the call button, "Aloha."

Abruzzi: "...Boss, what are you doing?"

Ding Ze seemed quite relaxed and in a good mood. "You should try traveling sometimes; it's quite fun."

“No interest,” Abruzzi replied helplessly, then, without further ado, got to the point, “Alex Mahone is at the company entrance now, he came alone, and said he wants to talk to you.”

"Oh?" Ding Ze perked up upon hearing this.

Although he no longer needs Ma Hong to fake his death, Ma Hong is a truly talented person, and it would be a good thing if he could work for Dongfeng Security.

“Go see him, give him the phone, and I’ll talk to him,” Ding Ze said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll call you back later."

call ended.

Janet asked curiously, "Did something happen?"

"Don't jinx it, good news is coming," Ding Ze said with a smile.

“Let’s sit down over there and wait until you’re done with your work before you go shopping,” Janet suggested.

"also."

More than ten minutes passed.

"Open the door," Abruzzi said, waving to the guards as he arrived at the company gate. Then, he smiled at Ma Hong and said, "Long time no see."

Mahone immediately recognized Abruzzi's voice, and his feelings were complicated.

If he had a choice, Ma Hong would never have come here.

Unfortunately, at this point, there's no other choice.

“There have been many changes here,” Ma Hong said as he stepped inside. “I really didn’t expect that you could actually develop like this.”

Abruzzi laughed, "Isn't that amazing? Come on, move aside, I'm going to call the boss."

"Isn't he here?" Ma Hong thought Ding Ze would be here.

Abruzzi shook his head. "They went on vacation."

Ma Hong: "???"

That's outrageous! Did they go on vacation?

Not long after.

Once the call connected, Abruzzi handed the satellite phone to Mahone.

Ma Hong took it, took a deep breath silently, suppressed his complicated emotions, and spoke up, "Mr. Ding."

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled, and without adopting a condescending attitude, said in a normal tone, "Detective Ma Hong, it's been a long time since I've heard from you. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Since he had already decided to come here, Ma Hong didn't beat around the bush and simply admitted, "Well, is your original suggestion still valid?"

“Of course,” Ding Ze replied with a smile, “but Ma Hong, are you sure you’ve really thought this through? There’s no turning back on this path.”

Ma Hong was well aware of this. He took a deep breath and said, "I've thought it through. As long as you can give me what I want, I'm willing to work for you."

“Okay, don’t worry, I’m different from the company. I treat my employees quite well,” Ding Ze knew exactly what Ma Hong wanted. “Your wife and son, have them move to Miami. My people will make sure they are safe and unaffected by the company.”

Ma Hong didn't mince words, "Where do you plan to settle them?"

"It's up to you. The safest place is where you are now. If you're worried that I'll take them hostage, I can settle them in downtown Miami and have them protected 24/7. However, that would reduce their security a bit. After all, you should already know how powerful the company is," Ding Ze said in one breath.

Ma Hong certainly knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have come here. "If they live in Dongfeng Security, they won't have a normal life. I need them to live in downtown Miami so they can have a normal life."

"Then, you also have to make sure they don't get into trouble."

Is it difficult to do this?

It's actually not difficult.

However, when bargaining, you have to act a little reluctant to make it seem more valuable.

Ding Ze deliberately paused for a moment before speaking again, "Okay, considering your abilities, I will find them a villa, renovate it, add bulletproof glass, an underground safe house, and 24-hour security."

There is no such thing as 100% safety in this world.

As an FBI agent, Mahone understood this. After a moment's thought, he agreed without saying anything more, "Okay."

After responding, Ma Hong asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Ding Ze smiled and said, "When I invited you last time, I was thinking of having you help me stage a fake death. Now, you know that I am dead."
