The Blacklist

Chapter 114 I Am Unmoved, Towering Like a Mountain
Reddington came back from a phone call and heard what Carrie said. He was so angry that his nose was crooked, but before he could lose his temper, he saw Elizabeth's face showing a worried look, and he suddenly thought: Huh? Is playing misery so effective?

Elizabeth saw Reddington coming over and couldn't help asking, "Raymond, do you often get into danger?"

"No!" Reddington hastily denied and said seriously: "I am usually very careful, and Dumby protects me. I will never cause trouble. There is no danger." He was very happy in his heart: Liz is worried about him!
Elizabeth has always suspected that Reddington is her biological father, and now she feels much better about him than before. Seeing his performance, she always feels that he is pretending, so she said: "Then you have to be careful in your daily life! It's okay at the post office, but you must pay attention to safety outside. Call us immediately if anything happens..."

"Yeah, yeah, I know..." Reddington nodded hurriedly, feeling very happy. "Liz, you have to be careful when you perform your mission. The criminals nowadays are pretty crazy. You have to protect yourself!"

"Now let's talk about your business!" Elizabeth scolded, "I'm always with my colleagues when I go out on operations here, it's okay! And I'm not weak, okay?"

"Yes, yes, I know you are good at shooting and fighting, but you still have to pay attention to safety..." said Reddington.

……

The two were chatting heart to heart, while Carrie, Gina and Dembe were trying hard to hold back their laughter, for fear of ruining the atmosphere. Finally, while the two were not paying attention, the three of them slowly withdrew from the sofa area and ran to the small bar on the side, holding drinks and tea, and became spectators.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Carrie said, "Gina, we won't go out. Let's go to the cafeteria and get some food to entertain Lao Lei and Dumby..."

Deng Bi said: "Why don't I go out and pack a few things for Lei...Old Lei to celebrate!"

Kerry shook his head and said, "Not good. We still have to be careful now. I'm worried that the CIA will be watching us outside. Don't take any risks."

Dembe nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Gina."

"It's not hard. You'll treat me next time, Dembe." Gina said with a smile and walked out.

Watching her leave, Dembe said, "Lee, Gina is a good girl, you have to be nice to her."

"Of course!" Carrie said, "What about you? Find a nice girl to show me?"

This question stunned Deng Bi. He snorted for a long time before saying, "I don't want to think about it. My granddaughter is about to be born. What else is there to look for?"

"What, granddaughter?" Carrie was surprised. "Hey, Dembe, are you forty years old this year?"

"Forty-three," said Dembe. "At forty-three, I'm going to have a granddaughter!" Carrie sighed.

While everyone upstairs was chatting, in the SER team downstairs, Cooper received a call from the deputy minister in charge, Wright, who asked him on the phone: Can you be sure that Reddington only knew and provided information about the "Factory" jailbreak, and he himself was not involved in it?
Cooper immediately confirmed: Reddington was definitely not involved in the prison break, he just provided information.

Deputy Minister Wright then told him: The director of the CIA's secret operations department insisted that Reddington was involved in the prison break and demanded that he be interrogated. Now with Cooper's guarantee, she would refuse him.

After hanging up the phone, Cooper frowned. He and Pete had had many conflicts in the past and they disliked each other. The other party's request to interrogate Reddington must be directed at him!
He knew how despicable Pete's methods were. As long as he wanted to do something, he would not care about any laws or regulations and would force his way through, so he had to be vigilant.

He remembered his previous feeling, so he went out to find Alam and asked him to immediately conduct a thorough inspection of the communication network within the post office base, especially to make sure that there were no channels for external information leakage.

Not long after, Alam came to him to report: the communication system was normal, no information leakage was found, but three communication lines were connected in parallel, and the exit was the information retention channel between DOJ, which was obviously set up by the department with higher system permissions! One was Cooper's office landline, one was the switchboard in the SER duty room, and one was a dedicated mailbox channel.

Although Alam did not say it explicitly, it actually showed that SER’s external communications had been monitored by the ministry!

Cooper was not angry this time, because he had expected it. He thought about what Mira had reported to him, and how Carrie had given her a communicator that was not afraid of being monitored, and he had an idea: I want one too!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the SER members who went upstairs one by one, Cooper, Donald, Alam, and Nawabi all received an "8110". No one knew whether to praise or criticize Carrey's aesthetic taste, but everyone was still delighted by the mobile phone that was not afraid of eavesdropping and surveillance and had a satellite phone function.

Elizabeth got one the night before, and now she acted as a teacher, teaching Donald and others how to use the new phone, while Cooper was taught by Mira, and the expressions between the two made everyone secretly pay attention...

At three o'clock, SER received a notification from the CIA that the "factory" was completely destroyed by two F22 fighter jets sent by the military with four air-to-ship missiles. At present, the CIA and the Navy have sent a search team to the scene to confirm the results of the battle.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the problem was solved, but Carrie shook her head and asked Reddington to continue urging the people in Alaska to pay attention to the movements on the coastline.

At 4:30, Reddington received a call from one of his men and received information from the Alaska Air Traffic Control: half an hour ago, a medical rescue helicopter entered Norton Sound and finally stopped at the Bolivia Hospital, allegedly carrying five distressed crew members rescued from the sea.

Kerry had just one word: "Fuck him!"

It has to be said that Reddington is really powerful. He can find people even in remote places like Alaska. He quickly sent out a team of 15 mercenaries to hunt down the five "factory" jailbreakers who pretended to be wounded.

Carrey reflected on the original series and found that the "factory" prison plot in episodes 9 and 10 of the second season was still interesting. Now that he messed it up, it has become something else entirely! If the audience were watching the show, they would definitely not want to watch it.

But the situation is different now. He lives in this plot world. If he goes to the "factory" to take risks for uncertain returns, it will not be worth it. After all, as long as he protects Reddington and Elizabeth from danger, he has completed the main mission. Now he has no shortage of crime-killing points and US dollars, so there is no need to take risks.
