After the interrogation, Lynn walked out of the room, Carter waited at the door.

"What did he say?" Carter asked.

"He said everything." Lynn took a deep breath and handed the interrogation record to Carter, "notify the branch offices everywhere immediately to stop the operation in Los Angeles and Chicago. We can't let his organization ruin anything more."

Katit, but couldn't help asking, "Linn, do you think he really admits his mistake?"

Lynn looked at the glass window in the interrogation room, and Elliot inside looked tired and lonely. He shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether he admits his mistake or not. What's important is that his faith has collapsed, and we must fix the damage he has caused."

With the issuance of the order, the FBI began to fully encircle the remnants of the Rose-dominated remnants.

In Manhattan early in the morning, clouds enveloped the skyline. Lynn stood in the center of the combat command room of the FBI Manhattan branch, with sharp eyes and steady tone. The electronic screen shows a map of the key stronghold locations of the Rose Organization, from Manhattan to Los Angeles to Chicago, and multiple red dots across the country indicate the complexity and concealment of the organization.

"This is our last blow," Lynn said, with unquestionable firmness in his tone, "The Lord of the Rose has already given all his plans. We must act quickly and completely dismantle the organization and stop the attack they are preparing for. .”

Carter stood aside and added: "We have coordinated FBI branches and local law enforcement agencies in various places. The clearance operations in various places will be carried out simultaneously. We will be responsible for the clearance in Manhattan, which is the core stronghold dominated by Rose."

All the agents in the conference room nodded one after another. They all understood that the success or failure of this operation was not only related to their responsibilities, but also to the safety of countless lives.

Meanwhile, Kate was sitting at the FBI's temporary interview site and was sorting out the information in her hands. As a reporter who covered the operation throughout the whole process, she knew the historical significance of this battle.

She said to the recording device: "The Rose, a secret group that calls itself justice, has covered up their so-called faith with killing and terror. Today, the FBI will launch a comprehensive clearance. This is not only an action, but also a matter of A defense of justice and order.”

Kate looked up and glanced at the busy agents, with complex emotions surging in his heart. She knew that everything she recorded would become an important window for people to understand the truth.

At about 12 noon, the clearance operation officially started. Lynn led the team to set out, targeting an abandoned factory in Manhattan’s East Side, the last known stronghold of the Rose Organization in New York.

"All people are aware that the factory may be full of traps and resistance elements," Lynn ordered through his headphones, "keep the formation and act carefully."

The team quickly surrounded the factory, and with the assistance of the technical team, they unlocked the defense system outside the factory and entered the interior.

The factory was filled with the smell of chemicals, and the surroundings were filled with messy equipment and supplies. Lynn took the lead in walking ahead, his ears nervously capturing every sound.

"Someone has been active here," Carter whispered, pointing to the fresh footprints on the ground.

They continued to go deeper and eventually found several militants in the central control room of the factory. They were obviously aware that someone was approaching and were preparing to fight.

"FBI! Put down your weapons!" Lynn shouted.

However, the other party had no intention of giving in, and the first bullet quickly cut through the air. Lynn quickly brought people to hide, and the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire in the narrow space.

"Note! There is someone on the right!" Carter reminded, shooting accurately and trying to attack an individual who was trying to attack.

Lynn observed the enemy leader trying to operate a computer after the cover and immediately ordered: "Don't let them start any system! Technical team, interfere with their equipment immediately!"

With the intervention of the technology group, the communication and operating system of the Rose organization were forcibly cut off. Lynn seized the opportunity, led the team members to attack, and quickly subdued all the militants.

Kate stood outside the factory, the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance made her palms sweat oozing. She watched the FBI's armored vehicle parked at the factory gate, and the agents quickly took a handcuffed suspect out.

"This is Inspector Lynn and his team, who just completed the operation in Manhattan's East Side," Kate said to the camera. "The last stronghold of the Rose in New York has been destroyed, but the battle is not yet fully over."

Her eyes were frozen on Lynn's figure. His face was exhausted, but his eyes were full of firmness.

Meanwhile, operations in Los Angeles and Chicago are also taking place simultaneously. The branches of the two places sent back good news, all core members were arrested, and the large-scale attack was completely stopped.

Lynn stood in the command car, listening to reports from all over the place, and a look of relaxation finally appeared on his face.

“The success rate of action is 100%," Carter told him, “the Rose-dominated organization has completely collapsed.”

"Is there any unsolved hidden danger?" Lynn asked.

Carter shook his head: "All the main strongholds have been cleared, and the membership list and plan are already in place. They are no longer able to cause any more storms."

After the action was over, Kate's coverage became the national focus. Her text and images record the details of the Rose’s atrocities, the clearing operations, and the heroic performance of Lynn and his team.

In a live TV interview, Kate said to the camera: "Today's victory belongs not only to the FBI, but also to all those who fight for justice. The Rose Organization tried to cover up the truth with fear, but in the end, their beliefs were destroyed by their own violence. And all this is the result of the unremitting efforts of Detective Lynn and his team."

After the operation, Lynn returned to his office, with the bustling night view of Manhattan outside the window. He sat at the table, holding a copy of Kate's report in his hand, his eyes calm.

Carter walked in and said, "It's all over, Lynn. You can take a break."

Lynn smiled slightly, but did not relax: "Maybe it's over, but organizations like Rose Domination will never disappear completely. As long as there are injustices and contradictions, someone will try to solve them in extreme ways."

"But you won today." Carter patted him on the shoulder.

Lynn nodded, looked out the window, and whispered: "Yes, we won today. And tomorrow, we will continue to protect this city."

On the streets of Manhattan at night, the street lights illuminate the bustling city like daylight, but in some dim corners, dangers are still hidden. Kate got off work from the TV station, with a bag on her shoulder, and walked tiredly to the taxi parked not far away. She lowered her head to check the time on her phone, thinking that she had another manuscript to revise after returning home.

"Kate Bennett." A cold voice suddenly came from the darkness.

Kate looked up suddenly and found two strange men walking out of the shadows on the corner of the street. They were wearing ordinary clothes, but there was malice in their eyes. They approached step by step, blocking Kate's way.

"Who are you?" Kate forced herself to be calm and took a step back.

"You exposed the secret of Rose," one of them sneered, "Do you think you can go home safely? Some people don't like you to talk so much."

Kate's heartbeat accelerated instantly. She realized that these people might be the remnants of the Rose Organization. Although their cleanup operation had ended, there were always some fish that slipped through the net. These people obviously hated her report.

"I advise you not to mess around." Kate tried to keep her voice calm. "The FBI is monitoring every member of the Rose Organization. Anything you do now will expose you."

"FBI?" Another person sneered. "They can't catch us either. Today, I'm just teaching you a lesson."

As soon as the voice fell, one of them rushed towards Kate. She stepped back in panic, but stumbled and almost fell. Just when she thought she had no way to escape, a familiar and low voice came from behind.

"Let her go."

Lynn got out of a black SUV, holding a pistol in his hand, pointing the gun at the two men. His eyes were cold, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty: "You have three seconds to choose to give up - or I will send you to the hospital and then to prison."

The two men obviously didn't expect someone to appear suddenly, and this person didn't look at all. They were stunned for a moment, but one of them gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Who are you? This is none of your business!"

"I am FBI Detective Lin En." Lin En's voice became even colder, "It's none of my business now, what do you think?"

The men looked at each other and obviously began to hesitate. They knew that Lin En's identity was not a bluff, and they had no advantage in this empty street.

"We will come again!" One of them threw a threat viciously, and then the two turned and ran into the night, disappearing quickly.

Lynn put down the gun and walked quickly to Kate: "Are you okay?"

Kate took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Fortunately...thanks to you. How come you are here?"

Lynn sighed and reached out to hold her arm: "Your reports in the past few days have attracted too much attention. Although the Rose Organization has been disintegrated, there are still some remnants who are eyeing you. I am worried that they will harm you, so I decided to pick you up after get off work in person."

Kate forced a smile: "It seems that your worries are right. Thank you, Lynn."

Lynn escorted Kate to the SUV and the car drove into the night of Manhattan. There was silence in the car. Kate seemed to be still digesting the thrilling scene just now, while Lynn's eyes were always fixed on the front, with a cold expression.

"I really didn't expect them to retaliate so quickly." Kate finally spoke, with a hint of anger and fear in her voice, "I thought that with the capture of the Rose Overlord, it was all over."

"That's the problem." Lynn whispered, "Organizations like Rose have never been run by one person. Their core has been destroyed, but the remnants are still active. They hate us, and they hate people like you who reveal their truth even more."

Kate nodded: "So you think they will continue to chase me?"

"I won't give them a chance." Lynn's eyes were firm, "I will arrange protection measures to ensure your personal safety. What happened today will not happen again."

Kate glanced at him sideways, with a bit of complexity in her eyes: "Lynn, you've done enough. This is my job, and I don't want to back down because of danger."

Lynn smiled slightly, with a bit of tenderness in her tone: "I know you won't back down, and that's why I'm worried about you. You always take the responsibility on yourself, but this time you have to let me share it with you."

Kate was touched by this sentence for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said softly: "Okay, but I hope this is short-term protection. I don't want to live in a safe bubble every day."

Lynn nodded gently: "Short-term, unless necessary."

When Lynn sent Kate home, his mobile phone suddenly vibrated. It was an urgent message from the technical department:

"Detective, when we were tracking the two suspects who attacked Kate tonight, we found a larger secret network. The remaining members of the Rose Organization may be joining other extremists to try to launch new actions."

Lynn frowned, and his vigilance was once again raised to the highest point. He looked at Kate, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to tell her.

"Good night, Kate." He said, "Remember to lock the door, and contact me at any time if you have anything."

Kate nodded, watching Lynn's back as he left, a strange sense of security surged in her heart.

After Lynn returned to the office, he immediately summoned Carter and the technical team. A new network diagram was displayed on the screen. The nodes connected in the diagram showed that the remaining members of the Rose Organization were contacting other antisocial groups through the underground network.

"These people may be planning a new attack." Carter whispered.

Lin En's eyes were cold: "We can't give them any breathing space. Notify all departments, increase the scope of surveillance, and catch these people in one fell swoop."

The next day, Lin En had a rare period of breathing time. Just as he was sorting out the case report, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was Kate's call.

"Kate?" Lin En answered the phone, with a bit of relief in his voice.

"Lynn," Kate's voice sounded good, "Tomorrow is the weekend, my parents invite you to dinner at home. I have told them that you have helped me a lot, and they really want to meet you."

Lynn was stunned, put down the documents in his hand, and hesitated: "Meet your parents? Kate, I just did my duty, this is not appropriate."

"Don't be modest," Kate said with a smile, "If it weren't for you, they might have lost their daughter a long time ago. Don't worry, my parents are easy-going. It's just a simple family dinner, don't be nervous."

Lynn smiled helplessly: "Okay, then what do I need to bring?"

Kate pondered for a while: "My mother likes flowers, and my father...well, he likes wine tasting. You can be casual, they won't care."

"I see, I will be on time." Lynn agreed, but a little nervousness rose in his heart. He doesn't often face such family occasions, let alone Kate's parents.

In the evening, Lynn took the time to go to a high-end gift shop in Manhattan. He stood in front of the shelf, looking left and right, looking a little at a loss.
