Chapter 50: Jon taught them a lesson!
In fact, Jon was not surprised with the media and onlookers in front of Blue Bank.
He did not show any unnatural expression in the face of so many cameras.
Although he was not a public figure before and was a little invisible in the unit who didn’t attract much attention, his psychological quality was naturally very strong as a former member of the Navy SEALs.
As he approached, he was yet to have time to talk to the director and others but had been surrounded by some media reporters.
It was quite a bit of a scramble.
After all, compared to the spectators, they were very eager for news.
For the bystanders, taking pictures, taking videos, and uploading them to the Internet was the best way to attract people. If they couldn’t, it was just for fun.
But for the media, they relied on the news for a living.
And in order to complete their work, the reporters naturally hoped to dig out some explosive news from Jon.
“Hello, Mr. Jon. Before the drill, what were you thinking when you learned that you were going to play the role of the robber?”
“Mr. Jon, previous drills always ended with the robber being quickly caught by the police. This can be said to be the first drill where the robber won. How do you feel now?”
“Also, Mr. Jon, why did you let the robber win this time? Was it an arrangement from the higher-ups, or was it a spur of the moment idea of yours that you decided to confront the police?”
“Mr. Jon, your methods of robbing the Blue Bank can be said to be amazing. How did you come up with this plan?”
…
Many media began to ask questions one after another.
Some of the media’s questions were already a little sensitive.
He did not say anything.
He knew that at this time, someone would naturally come forward.
“Everyone, calm down. Now is not the time for Jon to accept an interview. Later, we will arrange a special interview about him. Everyone can come and participate,” The director stepped forward at this time.
Then, a few police officers came forward to maintain order.
Then, the director brought Jon to an RV that acted as a temporary command center.
“I’m afraid that before this drill began, you have never thought that you would be so popular. Now, your peaceful life is about to end… I know that you are a person who doesn’t like trouble,” The director poured a glass of water for Jon and said.
“I feel that you’re gloating?”
Jon drank a mouthful of water to moisten his throat.
“I’m not. But during this exercise, you didn’t disappoint me. You did a lot of things that people didn’t expect.”
“But, because your performance was too outstanding, the police was a little embarrassed. This time the police had embarrassed themselves in front of the entire United States,” the director said slowly.
Jon said, “Then this has nothing to do with me. I’m just thinking about how to act as a robber. As for what the police will do, it’s not within my consideration.”
After all, the police and the robber were opposite.
When a robber’s performance was amazing and became more and more brilliant, it would set off the police’s incompetence and embarrass the police correspondingly.
This was inevitable.
“So now, do you regret it?”
Jon asked.
“Regret it… at least I made the right choice.”
The director drank a mouthful of water and said slowly, “Look at them. Each and everyone of them treated the exercise as a joke.”
“No one thought of doing this properly. Everyone was acting perfunctory. Even when a hostage was killed in the beginning, many people didn’t realize how serious the matter was.”
“But now, you’ve made them lose all their face. You’ve taught them a lesson.”
“Based on this, I know that my choice is right! It’s so right!”
“Cough.”
The sheriff heard the director’s words. He couldn’t hold back his expression and coughed lightly to ease the tension.
Rum also heard it, but he could only pretend that he didn’t hear it.
What else could he do?
The director’s words were not wrong.
Before the start of the drill, each of them had a perfunctory attitude.
Later on, they were continuously slapped in the face by Jon. They were not as good as him, so they could not say anything to refute him.
“Although the drill this time caused the police to lose face, but correspondingly, they also found many problems. The purpose of the drill can be considered to have been achieved.”
The director stood up and said, “Let’s go. Let’s return to the Bureau of Investigation first. Now that you have become a celebrity, who knows how many reporters are waiting to interview you.”
“Can I reject it?”
Jon rubbed the space between his eyebrows. In the end, he was still a person who was afraid of trouble.
Accepting an interview from a reporter was definitely a troublesome matter.
If this matter could bring benefits, it would be fine.
But what benefits could it bring by letting a reporter interview?
Fame?
He didn’t lack fame at the moment and didn’t really care about these so-called fame.
As they spoke, the two of them had already left the RV. There weren’t many people following them from a few meters away.
“Accepting an interview with a reporter will also allow the aftermath of this drill to spread even wider. At the same time, it will also allow the situation where the police was ashamed to exert its greatest impact. This is something that some of the big shots in the higher-ups are very happy to see.”
“Are you sure you don’t want any interview?”
The director lowered his voice and said.
Higher-ups? Big shot?
At this moment, Jon’s nerves tensed up slightly.
His brain was spinning rapidly.
Behind this exercise, there was a game going on among the higher-ups.
Some people were happy to see the police lose face, but correspondingly, there were also people who were not happy to see it.
The attitude of people who are happy to see it cannot be completely certain.
However, those who were not happy to see it might already see him as a thorn in their side.
Jon narrowed his eyes and said, “Then, are the big shots satisfied with my performance this time?”
“Of course they are.”
The director said, “However, there is a chance to make them more satisfied now. Why not doing that?”
Making them more satisfied also meant making the other group of people more disgusted or even hateful.
Since he was involved in the high-ups game, he would not be able to escape so easily.
However, Jon did not plan to think about this for the time being.
He only wanted the file from three years ago.
“Then, the file?” Jon asked.
The director was silent for a moment. He sighed and said, “Even if you don’t let the reporters interview, I will still give it to you.”
Hearing this, Jon also went silent for a moment. He nodded and said, “I’ll go.”
An hour later…
FBI conference room.
As a member of the FBI, Jon naturally had come to the conference room countless times.
