The Blacklist

Chapter 225: Destroying Two Major Criminal Families
"Oh, Tang, you have too many questions, don't you?" Carrie stroked his forehead and said, "Shouldn't we be thinking about how to deal with the merger of the two mafia families now?"

Donald was silent for a moment before he said, "Then tell me, what should we do next?"

"Let the two families continue their marriage and see what happens!" Carrie said seriously, "I think it's a good thing that New York has two fewer mafia families!"

Hearing this, Donald finally smiled and said, "I knew you had a way. Tell me, I'll listen to you."

Because Christopher and Anna were just victims in this matter, they were released after recording a simple confession. As for what choices they make in the future, it is up to them, and Carrie is not prepared to take care of them for the rest of their lives. If the two of them fall into danger again, it can only be blamed on their own identities, especially Christopher. At this time, when he has enjoyed the wealth and care brought by his family, he must be prepared to accept backlash.

At dinner on Sunday, Carrie took over the surveillance arrangements for the two families. In addition to the SER agents, there was a 12-man field operation team. In addition, the FBI-NY branch sent a 30-man armed operation team on standby. These two families must be caught in one fell swoop tonight!
Two hours earlier, Carrie specifically called Reddington and asked him not to get involved.

At that time, Reddington was silent for a while, and then said: "Lee, Pete and I have a grudge!"

"I know." Carrie said directly, "After the merger of the two families is completed, Peter will be released because there is no evidence of a crime. The rest is up to you!"

"OK, I understand." Reddington's voice became visibly happy. "By the way, Lee, I installed a bug in the hotel banquet hall where their family gathering was held. I'll have Dembe tell you the monitoring frequency in a moment!"

At 7:30, in the VIP banquet hall on the third floor of the Mayflower Hotel, all the people from the Vaccaro family and the Ericson family arrived and sat on both sides of the hall in a separate dining system...

Before entering the venue, security personnel hired by both sides checked all participants. Cell phones and weapons were not allowed to be brought into the meeting room, so people on both sides were very relaxed at this time.
-
In the parking lot outside the hotel, Alam was carefully monitoring the situation in the banquet hall, while others were preparing for the raid.

Donald in the command car was angry - Carrie had tricked him again!

Before, Carrie took over the command, but when they arrived at the action site, this guy took Gina and Elizabeth to act alone again, leaving the on-site command to him!
Mira, Nawabi and Alam beside them were all laughing.

Donald was too lazy to argue with them. He really thought he couldn't see it and didn't want to argue with you! Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing. This is like Carrie, isn't it?
-
In the hotel banquet hall, people from both families were very polite, chatting about meaningless pleasantries while waiting for the arrival of the middleman Pete.

Both sides had their own ulterior motives. On the surface, no one brought weapons in, but both sides had secretly arranged things - the kitchen, bathroom and other places had special arrangements, and they were all waiting for the signal to launch. Daniel, the head of the Vaccaro family, gave a speech first. He prepared a hypocritical toast, and as soon as the wine glass fell, the gunmen arranged in the kitchen would rush in and kill all the members of the Ericsson family.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Maz, the patriarch of the Ericsson family, was also preparing. His men had placed five Scorpion submachine guns in the bathroom tank in advance, and they would kill the other side at the same time - it would be better for two families to jointly control the East Coast drug market than for one family to dominate it alone!
Everything that happened in the hotel was transmitted truthfully to Alam's monitoring desk through the hotel's video surveillance and eavesdropping devices, causing all the SERs watching and listening to the program to sigh: The mafia is so faithless and ungrateful!
-
At eight o'clock, Pete had not arrived yet. The atmosphere in the banquet hall began to change. There was some commotion on both sides. The two parents felt that they could not delay any longer and secretly hinted to their subordinates!
Kerry knew that the time was almost up, so he immediately led his team into the hotel - he was worried that if he arrived too late, the two families would start fighting and kill people, which would affect his income!

Afterwards, chaos broke out in the banquet hall, with bullets flying and screams everywhere. Anyone with a weapon was knocked to the ground by Carrie, Gina and the others. Carrie even "accidentally" shot them one by one to prevent anyone from standing up and taking up a weapon to threaten the safety of her own people!

Thanks to Kerry's advance arrangements, SER didn't have to worry about the finale. After receiving the notice, Director Tucker of the East Coast region of DEA arrived "in time". The two major drug families fought each other and were killed in one fell swoop by the federal law enforcement agencies on the scene. The remaining work of clearing, searching, and merging cases will be enough to keep them busy for a while!
However, Tucker was very excited because the credit for destroying the two major drug families fell on him. For this, wasn't it his duty to do something?
-
Late that night, Carrie, Gina and SER returned to Washington, D.C. after handing over the case. Early the next morning, the detained Pete was released by the FBI-NY branch because there was no factual evidence.

However, before Pete had the chance to leave New York, he was kidnapped by another group of armed men, and no one knew his whereabouts anymore!

Afterwards, Carrie didn't want to ask, but Reddington, who came to him for a drink, got drunk and talked about why he put Pitt on the blacklist, kidnapped him personally, and shot him in the wilderness...

Many years ago, Reddington had a crush on a girl named Josephine Moliere. Wherever he went, he would try his best to find small ornaments in the shapes of various animals to bring to Josephine because she liked them.

Later, Josephine was forced to marry the son of her father's rival for the benefit of her family. She suffered violence for many years but had to endure it in silence until one day Reddington received her call for help.

When he arrived, she was already dying! Holding the body of his beloved woman, Reddington shot and killed her husband. Although Josephine was rescued from danger, she became a living dead due to brain damage.

The cause of this tragedy was Pete, the matchmaker of that marriage...

Hearing Reddington's drunken ramblings, Carrie and Dembe were somewhat touched, but they didn't think much about it. However, Gina and Elizabeth, who were listening on the side, were moved to tears. For girls, this kind of pure love story is the most attractive to them! They didn't expect that the seemingly strong and powerful Red Devil would have this side. At this time, they all felt extremely sympathetic to this nearly sixty-year-old man!
