The Blacklist

Chapter 433 Howard's Restoration
The base military police brought by Carrie blocked the warehouse, and then the CTU State Bureau Action Team of Georgia rushed over after receiving the order and took over the scene. All the people of Halcyon Shield Company were cleared out.

Susan felt sorry for this. Quantum computers are the future development direction. If they can be mastered by the company, it would be the best thing. Howard was very dissatisfied and argued with Kerry again and again, demanding that the "Whitehall" project be kept in Halcyon, and Whitehall should also stay...

Carrie was too lazy to pay attention to him. She waved her hand and a CTU agent chased him out!
Tom, who had been observing nearby, also understood what was going on at this time, but all he could do now was to get Howard away!
-
Because of the current situation, Susan of course can no longer continue to control Howard, but something unexpected happened to everyone!

Early on Sunday morning, Howard, dressed in a suit, appeared in front of the Halcyon Shield building. He notified a large number of reporters in advance and held a press conference. In front of all the major media, he accused his wife Susan of intending to murder him in order to seize ownership of the company! Therefore, he will submit relevant evidence to the court and use legal means to regain the company.

As Howard made Halcyon's problems public, all major media outlets began to report on it, causing a huge stir in the industry and at the government level. Because of the special nature of this company, it holds too much confidential information from government departments and the military. If the matter reaches the end, especially when it goes to court, a lot of information that needs to be kept confidential will definitely be exposed, which is something that all parties involved do not want to happen.

Tom, who was watching from the sidelines, realized that there was really something wrong with his father. What he was doing now was not so much about trying to take back the company as it was about destroying it. This was not a decision that a normal person could make!

After work on Monday, in order to deal with Howard's sudden appearance in public, all the directors of Halcyon Shield rushed to the company to discuss countermeasures...

At this moment, Howard forced his way into the company's conference room with his lawyers and bodyguards, and proposed to the board of directors to re-elect the company's head, officially declaring war on Susan.

However, in the four years since Howard left the company, Susan performed extremely well. Not only did she maintain previous performance, she also expanded the business scope, established good cooperative relations with the military and government departments, and allowed the company's profits to continue to grow. This allowed her to gain the support of the vast majority of directors, so the result of the re-election was that Susan would still serve as chairman of the board and president of the company!

Faced with this result, Howard remained calm, because his real trump card was not on the board of directors!

As soon as the re-election results came out, gunshots were heard in the company, and a team of fully armed gunmen broke into the company from the underground parking lot. Nez, grateful to Howard for saving her life in the past, used a box of beryllium magnesium crystal worth 400 million provided by him to hire a large team of mercenaries to help Howard take control of the company by force.

With deliberate planning, Nez and his mercenaries quickly took control of the building. Susan had no choice but to flee the company in a hurry through a pre-set secret passage under the protection of Tom and Kumon.

Howard then showed the board members a list of off-book items that were not approved by the board, involving large amounts of illegal capital flows, and all of them had Susan's electronic signature. Feeling concealed and betrayed, the directors voted again and re-elected Howard as chairman of the board!
Susan, who escaped from the company, was very depressed. She didn't expect that Howard would use this method to seize control of the company. She was caught off guard and left with only Tom and Cumon!
Kumon is extremely loyal, but apart from being a bodyguard and operative, he can't play any decisive role, so Susan can only put her hopes on Tom - or rather, the CTU Deputy Director Kerry behind him!
Tom led the two to an SUV parked on the side of the road, took out the keys and drove away, saying, "Susan, don't worry! Director Kerry has anticipated this situation. He told me to tell you that what we need to do now is to understand Howard's purpose of action. Can you still understand what is happening in the company?"

"Of course." Susan regained her composure after hearing his words. "I'm also curious about how Howard will control the board of directors, but violence won't work. The Pentagon and those law enforcement agencies won't sit idly by." After saying that, she took out her cell phone and began to contact people in the company whom she trusted.

Tom drove to a safe house and met Carrie, Gina and others who had arrived here earlier. He said, "Boss, your previous judgment was correct - Howard is the problem! He actually used mercenaries to control the company by force, but we don't know what he is going to do yet."

At this time, Susan got a project list issued by Howard from a director. She was extremely surprised after seeing the records on it, because she had never seen these projects, let alone approved the expenditure of funds!

She handed the list to Kerry and said, "Chief Kerry, just like Howard suspected me before, only he can do this, but I don't know how he did it!"

After reading the list in his hand, Carrie said, "Tom, please go out for a moment. I need to talk to Susan alone."

Tom was a little surprised, but he walked out immediately. At this time, he thought of some rumors about the company and vaguely knew where the problem lay. As a son, it was naturally not appropriate for him to be present when discussing this matter.

Susan didn't understand why Carrie sent Tom out, and looked at him puzzled.

Carrie looked at her, organized his words, and said, "Susan, you can see that the items on this list are mainly from recent months. Who are the people who can get the electronic signatures in your mobile phone and computer? This should be done by the people closest to you!" He emphasized the last sentence.

Susan was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the other person was about the same age as her son. This topic made her blush! However, after she understood the other person's meaning, she immediately thought of two people, one was assistant Carlson, and the other was her contract lover Trevor!
Then, she felt something was wrong. She was very careful when she was with Trevor. She never brought her computer or cell phone out of her sight! Carlson could access her electronic signature, but based on her understanding of her, she should not be able to do that, unless... unless she was originally Howard's person!
