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

Ding Ze understood this principle.

“Don’t be shy, I’m hoping to make a fortune with you,” Ron said with a smile.

When we got to this topic...

Nobody is sleepy.

The three of them started chatting and laughing.

As soon as the plane landed, Ma Hong turned on his phone and immediately received a call from Detective Lan.

Detective Lan gave a brief report on the non-existent 'shooting' that occurred at Sacred Heart Hospital about an hour earlier, as well as the subsequent discovery of a nurse in a vegetative state on the eighth floor of the inpatient ward and the bodies of two police officers in the underground parking garage, among other things.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hong's forehead twitched involuntarily, and he asked with obvious anger in his voice, "Ding Ze and the others have already left! Do you know what kind of car they were in?"

Detective Lan clearly sensed Ma Hong's anger. "We just found out. It's a silver Range Rover with no license plates. I'm contacting them to check the road surveillance footage... This will take a while."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hong became agitated. "Given Ding Ze and his team's speed, our biggest weakness is time!!!"

"Never mind, get checked as soon as possible. I'm going to Sacred Heart Hospital now."

Chapter 55 The Wind Rises

Sacred Heart Hospital, 8th floor of the inpatient department.

Ma Hong, who rushed over, showed his ID, asked where the nurse Lili was, and then quickly headed straight for her.

“Hello, I’m FBI Agent Alex Mahone,” Mahone said as politely as possible, glancing silently at Lily, whose eyes were red and clearly she had been crying. “I have some questions for you about what happened to you a little over an hour ago.”

Lily rubbed her eyes. "I already told the officer..."

“I know,” Ma Hong nodded. “I’m not in the same system as them, so I’ll just take up a little of your time.”

“Okay… but I know almost nothing, I’m like I’m possessed…” Lily said, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Seeing this, Ma Hong reached for a tissue box on the table next to him and handed it over. "It's okay. You just need to tell me everything that happened from the moment you met that person until they left."

Lily took the tissues. "Okay..."

After responding, Lily began to talk.

After listening, Ma Hong thought for a moment, "I'm sorry, this question involves your privacy, but I have to ask, before you suddenly felt a surge of lust and suddenly collapsed, did you feel anything? For example, did something crawl on your arm or burrow into your body?"

Lily blinked, blushed, and shook her head. "No, nothing at all..."

"So he didn't say anything else? Or..." Ma Hong said, lowering his voice and whispering, "He left you some money?"

Lily was confused and instinctively thought the wrong thing, "Money? I'm not a prostitute..."

“That’s not what I meant, don’t misunderstand,” Ma Hong immediately explained. “I asked that because a girl had a similar experience to yours yesterday, and in the end, she received some money.”

Lily was speechless for a moment: "..."

Ma Hong silently and carefully looked at Lily. Although he was basically certain that Lily was not lying, since it concerned Ding Ze, he had to be completely sure. So he had to speak again, "He didn't leave you anything?"

Upon hearing this, Lily's mind went astray again, and her cheeks flushed red. "All I can think of is what I swallowed..."

This time, Ma Hong was speechless.

A few seconds later, Ma Hong chuckled and shook his head slightly, deciding not to ask any more questions. "Okay, thank you for your time. Don't overthink it. This isn't your fault."

Lily was touched. "Thank you."

Ma Hong didn't say anything more, got up and walked towards ward 809.

-

In ward number 809.

Anna Westmoreland had gotten up early, tidied herself up, and sat in a chair by the window, waiting for Ding Ze's men to arrive.

What's happening outside... the ordeal of nurse Lily, the deaths of two police officers in the underground parking garage...

She knew all of this, and indeed found Ding Ze somewhat frightening.

But, still the same sentence.

She didn't have many days left to live, and she didn't want to care.

Ma Hong pushed open the door and walked in. "Anna Westmoreland?"

Anna heard this, turned around and looked at Ma Hong, but didn't say anything;

“Hello, I’m FBI Agent Alex Mahone. I have some questions for you,” Mahone said politely.

Upon hearing Ma Hong's name.

Anna smiled gently, and without any hesitation, decisively followed Ding Ze's instructions and said, "He said you would come."

Geek!

The voice reached my ears.

Ma Hong was startled, and immediately turned around and closed the door to the ward before asking Anna, "What did he leave for me?"

Anna nodded. "Just one sentence: He asked me to tell you that he went to Chicago."

Ma Hong: "??????"

Hear this.

Ma Hongzhen was a little confused.

what is this?

He escaped from Fox River State Penitentiary, left Chicago without stopping, first went to Utah, then Nevada, then Indiana, and then, damn it, went back to Chicago?!

Are they on vacation?

for a while.

Uncontrollably, Mahone recalled the days when he chased Oscar Shores everywhere, and a surge of anger welled up in his chest.

"Did he say what he was going to Chicago for?" After taking a few deep breaths, Ma Hong managed to calmly suppress his anger and asked as quietly as possible.

Anna shook her head slightly. "No, that's all she said."

Ma Hong looked at Anna, not believing she was lying. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then why did he come to see you?"

Anna smiled. "If I told you, would you stop me?"

“It depends,” Ma Hong replied honestly.

Anna's smile widened. "He asked me to transfer to a hospital in Chicago so that I could see my father more often before I die."

Mahone already knew that Anna didn't have much time left. "That's it? He didn't give you the money?"

“No, he said he would handle it once he got to Chicago,” Anna said succinctly. “Agent Mahone, you won’t stop me. My going to Chicago is a good thing for you.”

Ma Hong had already thought of that immediately, and without making up any excuses, he agreed directly, saying, "Indeed, I won't stop you. In fact, if you'd like, I can personally take you to Chicago right now; the bureau's plane is waiting at the airport."

Anna shook her head. "He said he would arrange for someone to come and take me there. I'll wait. You should understand, I can't offend him."

Ma Hong can understand.

After Anna went to Chicago, Ding Ze still had to arrange many things.

If Anna changes Ding Ze's plans, things will get complicated.

“Then I’ll wait with you,” Ma Hong said, sitting down in a chair.

"As you wish."

The conversation ended there.

The ward fell silent.

Of course, Ma Hong wasn't idle; he was contacting Agent Lan via text message, instructing her to deploy relevant work in Chicago.

Before we knew it, about twenty minutes had passed.

A middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in, quickly glancing at Ma Hong, who was closer, and Anna-Westermoreland, who was a little further away.

The middle-aged man ignored Ma Hong and walked straight to Anna. When he reached Anna, he smiled and said, "Hello, are you Ms. Anna Westmoreland?"

"Yes."

"Hello, my name is Vincent, and I'm here to take you to Chicago," the middle-aged man said politely. "Are you ready?"

“Ready,” Anna said, slowly rising to her feet.

At this time.

Ignored, Mahone stood up and looked at Vincent. "Wait a moment, Vincent. I'm FBI Agent Mahone. I need to ask you a few questions."

Vincent grinned, completely unfazed. "Detective Mahone, I'm a lawyer, a very successful one at that. More importantly, I know nothing. So, I think we shouldn't waste our time, what do you say?"

After a pause, Vincent added, "Besides, you don't have much time left."

Ma Hong frowned.

Damn lawyer!!

"Are you threatening me?" Ma Hong was very unhappy, and his tone became much colder.
