The Blacklist

Chapter 159: Confirmed Counterattack and Attacked Again
The projection data in the "fulcrum" continued to play for an hour and a half before it ended. Everyone present felt that their heads were about to explode - there was too much information! Various crimes, various evil deeds, various major "accidents"... It shocked everyone! It was unanimously determined that this secret society was a criminal organization that had done all kinds of evil!

Although he had read it more than once and even found time to organize some detailed case files, when Carrie read it again, he still felt the evil of the secret society. Moreover, these materials revealed a very important point - the secret society is not the only organization of this kind!
Carrie gave everyone time to think, and called Gina, who had already seen these and had developed resistance, and asked her to supervise several ongoing tasks, especially to ensure the treatment and safety of Reddington, who had been transferred to another safe place.

Because everyone present was already "one of our own", after waiting for everyone to digest the information for a while, Carrie stood up and said, "Everyone has seen that before, the secret society was very wary of Reddington because of the existence of this 'fulcrum' and did not dare to touch him. But since most of its board members have been replaced, the new directors do not believe that Reddington has this killer weapon, so they forcefully ended their cooperation with this guy Red Devil and issued a kill order against him..."

After hearing his statement, everyone pondered for a while before they were able to sort out the whole thing. They were all frightened to think that such a powerful criminal organization was hidden among the top political and economic leaders.

Deputy Minister Wright had calmed down by then. When everyone started discussing the various cases they had seen, he stood up, pulled Cooper to Kerry, and said, "Kerry, I believe this 'fulcrum' is real, but the people and companies involved are beyond my imagination! I...I want to know what you want to do?"

Kerry smiled. He knew how much help a new ally in the DOJ deputy minister could bring, and said, "Wright, think about it, what would happen if we caught those bad guys who infiltrated the government?"

With this big picture in mind, Wright immediately fell into a vision of the future...

Afterwards, the team members, who had already reached a consensus, returned to their posts and waited for new tasks. To the outside world, SLR and SER had to operate normally to avoid arousing the suspicion of the secret society. The team members knew that they had to keep today's events secret, because the loyalty of ordinary members of the two groups could not be guaranteed.

Carrie, Wright and Cooper stayed in the office. Carrie informed the two of the current leadership members of the secret society, which naturally shocked them. Afterwards, the three of them discussed and decided that SLR and SER would secretly join forces to investigate the criminal activities of the secret society. The specific division of labor was:
Wright was responsible for withstanding pressure from higher-ups and carefully choosing new allies at the top.

Cooper was responsible for directing SER to conduct a secret investigation into the "Fulcrum" case and collect evidence.

Carrie is responsible for protecting Reddington, assessing developments at any time, and commanding special operations.

As for what the special operation was, the other two did not ask - this was also the result of taking the red bottle. Both of them now had complete trust in Carrie.

Although it has been decided to investigate and crack down on the crimes of the secret society, we cannot act too hastily. While making careful plans, we must also wait for the right opportunity to strike a blow.

On the evening of June 6, an attack occurred in the annex ward of Sibley Memorial Hospital!
An ambulance entered the hospital and "went" the wrong way. Before it reached the annex, two "caregivers" pushed a stretcher through the gate very quickly. The guard on duty naturally did not allow them to enter, and an argument broke out between the two sides...

During the dispute, two "care workers" suddenly pulled out their guns and shot at the guards. Fortunately, the SER field operations personnel had received instructions long ago and wore heavy bulletproof vests while on duty, and did not take them off even in the hot weather. This avoided casualties and quickly shot the two attackers dead!
During the subsequent inspection, the guards discovered that the attacker did not have any identification or markings on him, and the person disguised as a patient on the stretcher was actually a corpse that had been dead for several days!

At this moment, a sirens sounded, and several police cars rushed into the hospital and surrounded the annex. The leading officer showed his ID, and he was the detective of the DCPD (Metropolitan Police Department) shooting and homicide unit. He claimed that a shooting had occurred at the scene, and they wanted to take over the place and investigate! Of course, the SER field operations team would not agree, and both sides refused to give in...

After arguing for a while, the leaders of both teams called their superiors to ask for advice on countermeasures.

After receiving the report from the team members, Donald, the SER operations director, sneered and ordered the operators to evacuate and hand over the scene to DCPD.

Although the captain of the operation was a little surprised, he still obeyed the order faithfully and immediately ordered his men to pack up and leave. A few minutes later, they drove away without taking the attacker's body or the vehicle.

The DCPD officers were all very surprised. This was not the FBI's style! But at this point, the leading captain could only order the takeover of the scene and conduct a detailed search...

What no one expected was that within a few minutes, the stretcher carrying the corpse and the ambulance exploded in succession, leaving heavy casualties among the police officers!

The incident became a big deal. The FBI Washington Branch, the ATF Explosive Disposal Team, and the NIH (National Institutes of Health Police Department) all sent large teams of people to the scene and proposed to take over the investigation. Faced with these departments, even the deputy superintendent who came to reinforce with the DCPD was unable to stop them!

After receiving the report, Carrie, who had already returned home and was resting, told the SLR personnel on duty to guard the base and not to worry about anything else.

Cooper on the other side received the same order. Donald, who stayed on duty at SER, was scared out of his wits. If the field operations team members were not withdrawn in time, they would be the ones in trouble!
-
The next day after work, DOJ and FBI sent people to SER to question the Sibley Memorial Hospital Annex. Cooper handed them the long-prepared written report, on-site video and other materials directly - well, go back and verify! SER's field operations team did nothing wrong, and no one should cause trouble.

The two investigation team leaders were dumbfounded and could only ask SER why it had booked the entire annex of the hospital?
Cooper said coldly: "This is a secret operation of SER. You have no right to ask." Then he showed the official authorization document signed by DOJ Deputy Minister Wright, "If you have nothing else, go back and don't delay our work!"

The people from the two investigation teams were stunned for a long time and could only leave dejectedly with a copy of the document each.

Cooper secretly rejoiced that he was well prepared!
