The Blacklist

Chapter 155: There is a lot going on in the attack
After sending Reddington and his medical team to the annex of Sibley Memorial Hospital and arranging security forces, Carrie asked Kaplan and the attending physician to confirm that the previous operation was successful and Reddington was no longer in danger of life. However, because of anesthesia, he would not wake up until tomorrow.

There were enough security forces, Kaplan and Dumby were guarding inside, and Carrie left first. On the way, he checked the system display: "Host completed triggering task 40, killed 4 secret society assassins and 8 mercenaries, and was rewarded with 1.2 crime-killing points; rescued Reddington, and was rewarded with intermediate rifle shooting skills, merged the original skills, and upgraded to advanced rifle shooting skills."

Although he did not receive any money this time, he was still quite satisfied with the fact that he had improved his rifle shooting skills to a high level.

It was not until the next morning that Reddington woke up from his coma. The first thing he saw was Elizabeth sleeping on a chair beside the bed. His sharp eyes softened immediately, and a warm feeling rose in his heart...

Turning his head slightly, he saw Demby sitting on the sofa near the door, holding an MP5 submachine gun in his hand. He seemed to be asleep, but he knew Demby's habits and knew that he was resting with his eyes closed, ready to fight at any time.

He did not alarm the two people and tried to move his body to confirm that except for the pain in the wound on his chest, everything else should be fine. Although he didn't know where this place was, he believed it was a safe place and all this should be arranged by Carrie.

After adjusting his body posture and making himself more comfortable, Reddington began to think about what happened yesterday. It was not surprising that someone wanted to kill him, but there were far fewer people who had the idea and ability to actually carry out the assassination; and there were even fewer people who could use gunmen to attack the safe house on the streets in downtown Washington!
In fact, thinking about this, the person behind the scenes is about to be revealed - it is the secret society!
Just as he thought of this, he heard a slight sound. He opened his eyes and saw Dumby walking to the bed. He looked at him and said, "Raymond, you're awake."

Reddington smiled and said softly, "He's awake. He's not dead yet. I guess I'm lucky!"

"Yes, you are really lucky..." Dembe wanted to say something important, but when he saw Elizabeth next to him woke up and was looking at him, he stopped talking.

"Old Lei, you're awake!" Elizabeth said in surprise.

"Puff!" Reddington pretended to spit blood and said helplessly, "Liz, have you really learned bad things from Richard? Why are you calling me 'Old Ray' too?"

Elizabeth was very happy to see that he was obviously fine. She smiled and said, "I think this name sounds very nice! I heard from Lee that in the East, this name is a very intimate expression, indicating a good relationship!"

"Okay, okay, it's up to you!" Reddington seemed to be smiling bitterly, but he was actually very happy in his heart. Looking at Elizabeth now, it was obvious that all her previous grudges were gone. This was of course the best thing for him. Calling her "Old Ray" was nothing!
As the two chatted, Dumby walked over, opened the door, and said to the guard outside, "The boss is awake"...

Soon, Kaplan came in with two doctors, examined Reddington carefully, and confirmed that the operation was successful. All that was left was rest.

In the afternoon, Cooper came to visit Reddington.

The relationship between the two was actually average. After chatting for a while, Cooper told him to rest well and then got up and left. When he walked out of the hospital, he inexplicably felt less resentful towards Reddington.

When Carrie stepped into the ward, she saw Elizabeth peeling an apple for Reddington. The two were chatting intimately, a picture of "loving father and filial daughter". She couldn't help but feel relieved: her previous efforts were not in vain!

"Hey, Richard, thank you!" Reddington greeted first. He had already heard Elizabeth, Demby and Kaplan talk about what would happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He knew how big a role Carrie played in it. It could be said that she had saved his life again.

"No need to thank me, you are my source of tax revenue, I should keep you." Carrie pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, reached out to take the apple that Elizabeth had just peeled and took a bite. "Hey? This is for Lao Lei!" Elizabeth was dissatisfied.

"Crack!" Carrie took another bite. "It's enough to have you accompany him to recover. Why are you still eating apples?" With these words, the three people in the room laughed out of anger.

"Hmph!" Elizabeth had no choice but to pick up another apple and peel it, ignoring him.

Reddington laughed so hard that his wound hurt. After a while, he said, "Richard, you are bullying me while I am injured and unable to move?"

Kerry didn't respond, but asked directly: "What happened this time, you should have figured it out, right?"

Reddington was stunned for a moment and glanced at Elizabeth beside him, as if to indicate that she was still here!

Kerry waved his hand and said, "Liz is old enough and knows a lot about this. Explain things clearly so she knows what to do."

Hearing this, Elizabeth nodded in approval at first, but then she felt something was wrong. However, she was eager to know the truth, so she didn't settle the score with him for the time being.

Reddington organized his words and stated his inference.

In the past, Reddington had been cooperating with Alan Fitch, one of the directors of the secret society. Another director, Pete, who was hostile to him, "disappeared". He thought everything was fine, but he didn't expect that the new director was not only powerful, but also more hostile to him. He even proposed in the board of directors: to overturn the agreement between the secret society and him, and to punish him for threatening the secret society with "Fulcrum" before!
After receiving the notification from Fitch, Reddington designed to use the power of SER and made friends with Roger Hobbs, a technology tycoon who had also newly become a director of the secret society, and asked him to help lobby other directors. Although he got the support of another director, he was still short of the most critical vote to veto the proposal!
Roger helped Reddington arrange a meeting with a director named Kenneth Jasper, and received his support at the time, but now it seems that Jasper deceived him and stood on the enemy side.

"That is to say, the secret society's board of directors has decided to sever its cooperation with you, and has taken direct action to send assassins to get rid of you!" Carrie concluded, "So what are you going to do?"

"Of course we have to fight back!" Reddington is not the kind of person who would not fight back after suffering a loss. "I tried to contact Roger this morning, but couldn't get through. Fitch also didn't answer my calls. I can be sure that Jasper betrayed me. We must get rid of him!"

Several people understood that no matter whether Roger was killed or imprisoned, or even changed his direction, he could no longer be relied on; Fitch should have given up his support for Reddington.
