The Blacklist

Chapter 232: Taking Over the Situation with Swiftness and Effort

"Also, there is the latest intelligence..." Tony said, "When I checked Jamie's computer, I found an email that had not been deleted. It was from six o'clock this morning. The email was encrypted...

"Not long ago, Milo deciphered part of the email and confirmed that the sender was a man named Ted Carver, who was also confirmed to be the CEO of Burbank First Investment Bank...

"Just before the meeting, I told Jack this information. Now I don't know what the result will be..."

Everyone looked at him when they heard this. This guy is quite fierce. He dares to say anything in front of the new leader!
"Very good!" Kerry nodded and said, "Thanks to your introduction, my new colleagues and I have learned the latest developments. I have to admit that in the previous ten hours of complicated and confusing situations, you have done a good enough job. It can be said that it is better than I expected. For this, I should give you a bonus!
"However, we also need to realize that if we count from midnight last night, 24 hours are almost halfway through, and the assassination crisis facing Senator Palmer still exists. We don't even know where the real threat lies, so now is not the time to relax, and everyone needs to hold on a little longer."

Looking at the time, it was almost half past ten, so he added: "Although the work is very intense, we can't always use fatigue tactics! George, arrange for the branch staff to be divided into two shifts, taking turns to rest and work, so as not to tire everyone out."

"Okay, Chief." Mason was very good at this kind of administrative work and agreed immediately.

Then, Carrie looked at the others and said, "Nina, Tony, Rebecca, the three of you are also very tired. If necessary, you can take a rest first..."

"No, Chief, I can hold on." Nina said first, followed by Tony and Rebecca.

"Well, if you need anything, feel free to let me know. You can decide your own rest time." Kerry said kindly, "But, Nina, I need you to find a way to contact Jack and have him come back to report to me.

"You can tell him that I don't like his reckless style of handling cases! I can solve all the troubles he caused before, but if he doesn't come back to explain, no one will protect him if there is trouble again in the future!

"Tony, I need you to reintegrate the current branch's technical force. If it is not enough to complete the task, you can ask for help from Abby, the new technical director of the California Bureau. She will give you a reasonable solution.

"Ji Wa, you need to take over and integrate the existing field operations personnel so that they can go into combat at any time!
"Rebecca, the service team must be prepared. Today's work should last until late at night. You must do the necessary service work and prepare the necessary materials and supplies. I will reimburse you for the expenses.

“In addition, I want to emphasize that I don’t care about your previous working mode, but I have one basic requirement: I must know the necessary information first, and I hope no one will deliberately hide it from me.

"Okay, everyone. I will be working here today. If any department has any problems, you can come to me at any time. Mason, you don't have any objections, right?"

"NO! Of course not!" Mason said hurriedly, "I'll prepare the office for you right away..." "No need, I'm fine here." Carrie smiled, "I'll temporarily requisition this conference room, my assistant Gina will help me prepare it, you don't have to worry about it, just do your job well.

"Everyone, let's get to work!"

After everyone left, Gina asked two service personnel to adjust the furniture in the conference room. She kept a large desk, placed a square table with four chairs in one corner to hold the tea set, and moved a long sofa into the other corner. Without much effort, she transformed the original conference room into a private office.

Then, Gina came in with a pot of hot water and said while making tea: "Lee, that Nina has a lot of secrets. You have to be careful."

Carrie smiled, "I know, she is not simple, I'm looking forward to seeing her performance!" This is absolutely true. Jamie, who is much less capable, "committed suicide" after failing. This Nina is not simple, but it is not the time to take her down yet, she still needs to continue performing!

He took the new tea brewed by Gina and sipped it slowly. In his mind, he connected the known situations and matched them with the plot in his memory. He found that they were basically the same and there was no danger of losing control, so he felt relieved.

While he was thinking about it, Gina placed a water dispenser in the corner of the conference room. If Kerry hadn't said he wouldn't stay long, she would have asked him to bring out a tea table. As for why Kerry didn't go to the director's office, it was because it was too narrow and small, and he didn't like using other people's offices.

While Kerry took control of the California and Los Angeles branches of CTU, David Palmer, the political star launched by the Democratic Party and the first black presidential candidate in history, was carrying out a tightly scheduled campaign schedule. Even when something unexpected happened at the industrial workers' breakfast at 8 a.m., he still continued with his previous arrangements and attended various campaign events without fear.

However, because of some things that happened in the early hours of the morning, Palmer was actually under a lot of pressure. He was not worried about the election, but he felt that someone was targeting his family, which made him angry and alert, and he couldn't tell anyone!

At about ten o'clock, Palmer received a call from Mel Hawkins, the deputy leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate and the whip. "David, how are you preparing for the primary election?"

"The preparations for the primary election are fine, but some other things have happened..." Palmer did not hide anything from his friends, "Someone is targeting my family. If the situation gets worse, I may announce my withdrawal from the election!"

"What do you mean?" Hawkins was shocked when he heard this. As the new Senate Majority Whip, one of his most important tasks at the moment is to ensure the success of the party candidate Palmer's election. He was naturally shocked when he heard this. "David, if you have any difficulties, just tell us. We will support you! As for giving up something, don't say it!"

"Family! My family is threatened!" Palmer said angrily, "Someone is using an old incident from seven years ago to hurt my children! Mel, I am not afraid of anything personally, but I don't want my children to be hurt, do you understand?"

After a moment of silence on the phone, Hawkins' voice rang out: "David, I just learned that a good friend of mine is in Los Angeles. I think you should talk to him..."
