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

Gretchen wasn't lying, nor did she dare to lie: "It's all underground, to solve the problem of the water pipes."

“Okay, wait for me there, I’m coming now,” Ding Ze said without further ado, then hung up the phone and turned to Janet, “Let’s go, let’s go and inspect their work.”

Janet had no objection whatsoever and simply nodded.

Soon, the two left the house and headed straight for downtown Los Angeles.

About half an hour later.

Ding Ze and Janet arrived at the basement, not far from the company headquarters building, and stood in front of Michael, Lincoln, Sucre, Gretchen, and others.

The sanctimonious Michael frowned and his face darkened as soon as he saw Ding Ze.

Ding Ze saw this and thought the guy was really funny. He smiled faintly, and then, a good idea suddenly came to him.

'Once this is over, let's send this guy back to Fox River State Penitentiary. It should be quite interesting,' Ding Ze thought. Then, he spoke up and said with a smile, 'It's just a water pipe, why make such a fuss?'

"I'll just have someone turn off the water, won't that solve the problem? Los Angeles can go without water for a night, it's not a big deal."

"Prepare all the necessary tools during the day, and we'll move out after dark."

After listening.

Michael, naturally, became anxious and objected, saying, "No way! Do you know how serious the consequences would be if a city like this were without water for one night? Many patients in the hospital could die as a result."

Ding Ze chuckled and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Everyone will die eventually, it's just a matter of sooner or later. There's no need to get so worked up."

"!!!!" Michael was furious, his face full of anger, and he opened his mouth to say something more.

Lincoln was genuinely afraid of Ding Ze, this murderer, and instinctively reached out to grab Michael's arm, stopping him, "Michael, just say that, don't say anymore!"

After offering Michael this advice, Lincoln turned to Ding Ze and asked in a gentle tone, "Mr. Ding, we'll be free after tonight's operation, right?"

Ding Ze nodded readily, "Of course, I keep my word, and I will fulfill all my promises to you."

"In fact, if you wish, you can all join my company directly and enjoy all kinds of top-notch benefits."

Hear the words.

Lincoln and Sucre were speechless for a moment.

“Thank you, but no need,” Lincoln said with a stiff smile after a two-second silence. “We’re just ordinary people, and we just want to live ordinary lives.”

“It’s alright, everyone has their own ambitions,” Ding Ze said casually, not caring at all. “Then, you guys get back to work. Be on time at eight o’clock tonight.”

After saying that, Ding Ze called to Gretchen, "Gretchen, I have something I need your help with. Come upstairs with me first."

Even now, Gretchen is quite afraid of Ding Ze. Hearing this, she didn't dare to hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay."

About ten minutes later.

The three returned to the company above the secret passage and sat down in the conference room.

“My men will arrive at nightfall. I hope that by tomorrow morning, the company will either be gone or have been integrated into Dongfeng Security,” Ding Ze took out a cigarette and handed one to Gretchen. “You explain in detail the distribution of the company’s personnel in Los Angeles, and we will come up with a plan to encircle and destroy it.”

The voice reached my ears.

Gretchen blinked and sighed silently.

Sigh, it's come to this after all.

Gretchen lit a cigarette with a hint of helplessness, took a deep drag, and then said, "Okay, I need a map of Los Angeles."

Not long after.

Gretchen unfolded the map and calmly explained the situation.

Los Angeles is the company's headquarters. The company has been operating here for decades and can be said to be deeply rooted and very legitimate. It also has a very strong armed force.

Gretchen was very clear about the situation and held nothing back. She first gave a detailed explanation of the situation outside the company headquarters, and then emphasized the various security measures and personnel inside the company headquarters building.

Done.

Gretchen didn't mention any nonsense about how impossible it was to breach the company headquarters. Instead, she said with a serious expression, "If we really want to breach the company headquarters, it will definitely be a very brutal and bloody battle."

"Moreover, in just three minutes at most, all law enforcement officers in Los Angeles will be mobilized to provide support, and the building next door will be surrounded by at least several thousand law enforcement officers."

Ding Ze smiled faintly, "Then we'll just have to find a way to prevent those law enforcement officers from coming over. That shouldn't be too difficult. The local gangs can cause some trouble for the law enforcement officers."

Gretchen: "...Well, if we can keep them in check, then there's no problem."

"I'll contact them later and tell them where General Kranz will be tonight," Ding Ze said casually.

Gretchen shook her head immediately. "I really don't know. His whereabouts are kept absolutely secret. You should understand why. Apart from a few close people, no one would know. Otherwise, he would have been assassinated long ago." (End of Chapter)

Los Angeles. 69sHUx.(C)O(M)

“But he’s definitely in Los Angeles tonight, right?” Ding Ze asked with a smile.

Gretchen thought for a moment, "Yes, if he didn't receive the news beforehand."

“Then we need to lock down Los Angeles. Tell me, if we’re going to lock down, which entrances and exits need to be controlled,” Ding Ze said casually.

"..." Gretchen felt it was outrageous. To just lock down Los Angeles like that? Wasn't that too much of an overreaction? But what other options were there...?

The conversation continued.

Time flies.

The company is a behemoth, and to resolve it overnight requires considering many things and taking all aspects into account. Therefore, the conversation naturally lasted a long time.

Before we knew it, two hours had passed.

The talks are finally over.

Ding Ze glanced at his watch. "Let's leave it at that for now. Get ready."

With that, Ding Ze stood up and gestured for Janet to leave.

The two left quickly.

Once inside the elevator, Janet gave a sly smile. "Going to see Scarlett?"

"Haha, smart! Since we're already here, of course we have to go and take a look," Ding Ze said with a smile.

Janet rolled her eyes. "I can't be bothered to call you out on it."

Ding Ze smiled brightly, pretended not to hear, and took out his phone to call Scarlett.

"We're in Los Angeles for fun, where are you?" Ding Ze asked as the call connected.

Scarlett Johansson, who wasn't in Los Angeles today but busy filming the TV series "Prison Break" in another state, was immediately taken aback upon hearing this. Then, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Oh, I'm not in Los Angeles! I'll go back right away!"

"No need, no need, come back tomorrow. We're busy today," Ding Ze said, genuinely unconcerned.

Scarlett really wanted to go back to Los Angeles immediately to see Ding Ze, and more importantly, to have some fun with him. Hearing this, she was even more disappointed. "Oh, is that so?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow," Ding Ze replied with a smile.

“Okay,” Scarlett replied helplessly, then said plaintively, “Next time you go to Los Angeles, you can tell me in advance.”

“Okay,” Ding Ze replied.

call ended.

“She’s not here, so let’s go for a walk and find a place to have lunch,” Ding Ze said to Janet again.

Janet immediately switched into her dramatic persona, "Oh dear, this is really unfair to Mr. Ding, he has to make do with me."

Pa~~

The best way to deal with a drama queen is to beat her up!

Ding Ze immediately slapped Janet across the back of the neck, the sound quite loud.

Janet glared at the blow, yelling, "You bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

The two of them left the building amidst their bickering, and went shopping and had lunch.

Time flew by, and it was already afternoon.

The two returned to Dongfeng Security's branch in Los Angeles.

The news that the operation would be launched at 8 p.m. had already been released, and all the Dongfeng Security employees in Los Angeles had received it, so they were busy with preparations.

The building housing the branch office has been sealed off.

The branch manager set up an operations center on the top floor of the building.

Boxes of guns and ammunition were stacked up, covering an area of ​​over a hundred square meters.

Dozens of employees were making preparations in full swing, and the air seemed to be filled with a very clear smell of gunpowder.

Ding Ze walked in, casually found a place to sit down, and then waved to the person in charge, "Call the heads of the local families and tell them to come over immediately. Tell them I want to ask them for a small favor."

“Okay,” the person in charge nodded in response, not daring to linger, and immediately did as instructed.

In the blink of an eye.

The heads of various local gangs in Los Angeles received calls one after another, and then, unable to remain calm and with their hearts pounding, they agreed, "Okay, I'll be right there."

No one dared to refuse, because this wasn't a choice, it was a mandatory one... Ding Ze wasn't really inviting, he was summoning.

Not long after.
