The Blacklist

Chapter 430: Failed Rescue Operation
Although Carrey had already shot Rocha dead, Abby still checked the identity of Carlos Contara, whom Carrey had previously proposed to exchange for, and discovered that this man had a hidden identity - on the surface, he was Rocha's adopted son, who was arrested and sentenced to a heavy sentence by the FBI a few years ago, but in fact he took the initiative to surrender to the FBI, became a tainted witness, and betrayed Rocha in exchange for himself and his wife being included in the witness protection program.

Gina and Jiva, who followed him in the raid, didn't really understand how Carrie did it—he actually found Rocha's hiding place directly after tracking him from a long distance! But when the operation started, they showed no mercy and followed Carrie to kill him thoroughly! ——
At Halcyon Shield Company, Susan personally met the Gabo family who were picked up by Tom and others. After comforting them, she sent the company's car to take them back home.

Just after returning to her office, Tom came to find her and said, "Susan, there is something wrong with James Burton! Director Kerry said that he planned this kidnapping! Kerry asked you if you wanted us to do it in the name of the company, or if he should do it?"

Susan was a little confused and even a little angry. She said without thinking, "Let's do it! Tom, you and Nez go arrest James immediately. I want to know why he did this."

"Don't worry, I'll go right away." Tom agreed and got up to go out to carry out the mission.

More than an hour later, Tom and Nez successfully caught James, who was still pretending to go to work, and secretly brought him back to the company.

While Susan and Nez were interrogating James, Tom left the company on the pretext of going out for dinner, and immediately drove to the Fairhaven Medical Institution to rescue Howard.
-
The Fairhaven private medical institution located in the suburbs is hidden and heavily guarded. Tom attacked an employee who was off work in the parking lot and sneaked in with his access card.

The institution also has strict access control, and each door requires an access card to enter. It took Tom a long time to find Howard. His hands were tied to the hospital bed and he was treated like a serious mental patient!

Tom let Howard go with great pity, found him a coat to wear, and asked him if he felt unwell anywhere.

Howard said very naturally: He had long expected that the consequences of being caught by Susan would not be good. Now it was good enough that he was not locked up in a dungeon and tortured!

He said it calmly, but Tom felt cold in his heart, because it meant that Howard no longer had any feelings for Susan as a couple, and only considered her an enemy, so he thought this way.

Just as Tom was about to take Howard away, the security guard of the medical institution found an employee locked in the trunk of a car in the parking lot. The entire institution was urgently sealed off and all security guards were dispatched to search for the intruder!
The access card in Tom's hand was invalid, and he could no longer open the gates. It was impossible for him to take Howard away. Howard urged Tom to leave quickly and not let the security guard catch him, otherwise Susan's character would definitely be unfavorable to him! In desperation, Tom had to give up the rescue operation and jumped down from the roof alone and escaped.
-
After hearing the message from Fairhaven that someone was trying to rescue Howard, Susan was furious and immediately rushed over with a team of newly recruited security guards from the company to take over the guard work inside and outside Howard's ward. These newcomers did not know Howard and were all loyal employees she had recruited into the company!
Because Susan had previously asked Fairhaven to keep Howard's detention a secret, all internal surveillance was turned off, so when investigating the intruder, there was only the parking lot surveillance video, but it was extremely blurry and it was impossible to recognize his appearance. Susan could only bring the video back to the company and privately gave it to Dumont to use image enhancement technology to make it clearer.

While Dumont was processing the video, Tom also returned to the company, but he didn't know that he had left the video in the parking lot. He just hid in his office, trying hard to think of a way. How can he rescue Howard without breaking up with Susan head-on?
After thinking it over again and again, he realized that he couldn't solve it by himself, so he had to seek help from Boss Kerry!
Carrie had already received the report from Matt and knew what happened in the Fairhaven Medical Institution. He was very disapproving of Tom's risky behavior. He understood his eagerness to save his father, but he strongly disapproved of his risky behavior - there were enough means at his disposal, but this silly boy only knew how to act recklessly!

From this point of view, Tom is not as good as Matt who was transferred out to control the blue sword. He still needs further improvement. At least he does not have the ability to control Halcyon independently. It seems that Susan must stay in the short term.

After receiving the call for help, Carrie asked, "Tom, I can force Howard to come out right now, or even call Susan over, and let them talk it out face to face...

"But do you think the two of them can tell the whole truth in front of you or me?
“Who came up with that ‘Whitehall’?
“Are there any other secret projects in Halcyon Shield?
"Which one of them, Howard or Susan, is really problematic?

"If one of the two really has a serious problem, or even commits treason, what are you going to do?"

Tom was depressed after hearing this. These realistic problems made him feel at a loss and he didn't even dare to think about them! So, in the end, he could only say to Carrie: Wait a little longer!

February 2, Monday, was the Chinese New Year's Eve. Kerry, who had already returned to Washington, D.C. with Gina and others, only worked half a day before giving himself a day off.

Gina was watching in the SLR, and Carrie asked Elizabeth to be the driver, and they drove to Chinatown to do some shopping in preparation for the New Year!
The atmosphere of the New Year is still strong in Chinatown. Not only are all the shops decorated with lights, but there are also dragon and lion dance teams rehearsing. Thanks to the current import and export trade between China and the United States, there are now many products from China. In Chinatown, you can buy local specialties from all over China, which makes his big purchase perfect!

During the trip, Elizabeth happily tasted various snacks. She no longer complained about being asked to be a driver and joined in the shopping. She was very excited!
That night, Carrey personally cooked a traditional New Year's Eve dinner and spent his sixth New Year's Eve in this world with Gina and Elizabeth!
