The Blacklist

Chapter 208: Tech Madman, Horror Madman

This matter was too horrifying. Although it was on Canadian soil, Kerry and Donald agreed to deny Canadian Mounted Police and anyone else from boarding the plane, and to urgently notify the country to dispatch US military pilots with confidentiality qualifications to fly the plane back! As for the "heads" in the life support room, they couldn't make up their minds no matter what... Forget it, let's leave it to the bigwigs in the country to worry about it!
After receiving the notification from the two special departments, SER and SLR, DOJ, IRS, DHS, the Intelligence Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives, and the relevant senior officials of the White House held an emergency meeting. It was certain that the plane would be brought back, but the handling of subsequent matters caused a lot of disagreements...

After several hours of debate, when the Gulfstream G650 and A380 were about to fly to Washington, D.C., escorted by two F35s from the military, an emergency meeting made a decision:

1. The IRS seized all of Crandall Group's assets on the grounds of tax evasion, then split and auctioned them, with the proceeds paid into the national treasury as taxes.

380. The A and its life support room were handed over to the National Academy of Sciences, and the DHS was responsible for follow-up and confidentiality issues.

3. The SER and SLR departments have made great contributions and should be rewarded, but the rewards cannot be made public. The DOJ and IRS will formulate internal reward measures on their own and report them to the White House for approval.

During the entire meeting, no one mentioned Reddington, let alone whether Carrie violated the law by directly killing Crandall on the plane. Compared to the incident itself, that was not a big deal!

When the senior executives were meeting, flying in the Gulfstream in the air, the atmosphere along the way was a bit depressing because everyone found the scenes they had seen on the A380 a bit unacceptable, and they deeply felt the horror of the "tech madmen"!
During this time, Elizabeth asked for some unknown reason: "Old Lei, how did you save your head?" When she said this, everyone pricked up their ears, as if there was some inside story!
"Hehe!" When it comes to this question, Reddington, who is already very familiar with everyone, also seems to be a little embarrassed. He said: "When I saw Halmi being carried to the operating room, I was also scared! Later, when I saw that Crandall had no intention of touching me and Marvin, I couldn't help but ask this question. Guess what this guy said?"

Reddington, who always had an attitude, showed a funny expression at this time, and everyone became interested. The playful Abby said, "Old Reddington, Old Reddington, tell us quickly, don't keep us in suspense!"

Reddington usually likes this maverick girl and is very satisfied with her supporting role. He said in a slightly strange tone: "This guy said: Although the two of you can barely be considered experts, your professions are not open to the public, and you are not qualified to enjoy the treatment of 'eternal life'!"

“Hahahaha…” Everyone burst into laughter. This time, Lao Lei got slapped in the face!
After laughing for a while, everyone felt much better, but Donald suddenly asked, "Reddington, where is Varga who participated in your kidnapping?"

"That traitor!" Reddington said disdainfully, "After sending us to the airport in Boston, he still wanted to curry favor with Crandall, but Crandall just said: A traitor like him is not qualified to get on my plane! Then a bodyguard on the plane shot him dead, and who knows where his body was thrown!"

Huh? Everyone was stunned at first, and then they laughed again - compared to the previous result, this one seemed even funnier!
-
That night, the two planes landed at Andrews Air Force Base. After handing over the A380 to DHS, Kerry and Donald took everyone back to the post office.

It was already past dinner time and they were too lazy to go out. After having dinner in the SLR restaurant, they went their separate ways. Those who needed to go home went home, and those who didn't want to run anymore went to the guest rooms on the ninth floor to rest. This case had made everyone feel a little uncomfortable and everyone needed to resolve it in their own way.

Kerry went home with Gina and Elizabeth. Today's incident had a big impact on him. There was a scene in the original plot that didn't explain what Crandall did, but this time he really saw it in the real world, and even had a shadow in his heart. This incident also gave him a new understanding of the evil of human hearts! However, today's incident also gave him another revelation: that is, to cherish the people in front of you and make yourself and your friends happy! Well, in order to protect your own happiness, you have to be ruthless to those threats! ——
On November 11, SER and others who had rested enough received a message from Reddington about a new blacklist target: Zar Bean Hassan!

This time, Nawabi introduced the situation: "Hassan is the person who has killed the most Mossad agents in history. He is a fanatical anti-Israel radical. Mossad has been hunting him for many years without success. In fact, apart from a blurry photo of his back, we don't even know his true appearance..."

Then, Elizabeth pointed to the TV news playing on the big screen and said, "Not long ago, six employees of Rasalaam International Systems were kidnapped outside its headquarters in Annapolis. The DHS defined it as a terrorist act occurring on the home soil! Reddington believes that the kidnapping was planned by Hassan in order to punish the company for providing technical support for Israel's anti-missile system..."

At this time, Cooper also arrived at SER. Looking at the situation, he frowned and said, "This case involves counter-terrorism and defense contractors. DHS has taken over. Counsel Wright means that we should not intervene."

Hearing this, everyone was silent. Nawabi was even more depressed. She came from Mossad and participated in the hunt for Hassan many times. Her brother, partner and many colleagues died at the hands of this man. She herself was also seriously injured. Now she found the other party's trace but could not take any action. Naturally, she was very unwilling!

In this atmosphere, a new real-time video suddenly appeared on the big screen: a kidnapped employee of Rasalaam International Systems was forced to read the kidnappers' statement. After confirming the number of kidnapped people and the purpose, he was shot dead on the spot by the kidnappers!

When Cooper saw this video, he became angry like everyone else. He called Advisor Wright directly and claimed that Hassan was extremely vicious and he supported SER in doing its utmost to capture or kill him!
After hanging up the phone, Cooper looked at everyone present and said, "Let's do it. Wright agrees!"

Donald nodded heavily and said, "Nawabi, contact Mossad and cooperate to capture Hassan! Everyone else, get moving. I want to know more information about this guy!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded excitedly and got busy.

Cooper did not disturb everyone's work, but went out and upstairs to the SLR. He felt that Carrie had to help with this matter - in his heart, Donald was still a little naive!
