Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 326 Chapter 325 Return to the Green Zone
Assad's death was actually his own fault.

The launch vehicles of the SA-9 air defense missile launch system are generally spaced 150-200 meters apart to avoid being wiped out at once.

But a rustic warlord like Isad has no idea about this kind of tactical setup.

In fact, he just wanted to get closer and see the big fireworks.

As a result, he got himself involved.

Two days later, at dusk, in the Iriguchi Green Zone, inside the CIA intelligence station office building.

Simon's door was knocked open by his subordinates.

"SIR, Song Heping is back..."

"what?!"

Simon hasn't heard from Song Heping for a long time.

The last time I heard from him was when Song Heping was assassinated in a hotel by a killer hired by DGSE, but from that day on, he seemed to have disappeared from this world.

Realizing that he could not stop Song Heping, Simon began to clean up the mess and sent a team of assassins to Algiers to kill JK and silence him.

Unexpectedly, this small team also disappeared.

Through investigation, the conclusion was that they had definitely been attacked, but there was no clue as to who attacked them. The bodies were gone, and no one was seen alive.

The most bizarre thing is that according to intelligence, the Salafi armed forces in the Sahel region received three SA-9 missile launch systems. Simon thought that Song Heping had fooled him again and completed the deal by playing a trick secretly.

Unexpectedly, news suddenly came the night before last that the French Air Force carried out a military operation on the outskirts of Afines, a major city in northeastern Mali, and a Mirage 2000D killed Colonel Essad, the leader of the Salafi armed forces, in an airstrike.

The information that came one after another made Simon confused.

Just when Simon was still trying to figure out what was going on in the intelligence, his men handed him some photos.

"JK also came back with Song Heping."

JK……

This code name was like a bomb dropped into Simon's head, blowing him out of his body.

"What!?"

Simon grabbed the photos on the table and looked through them one by one.

It was indeed Henry, also known as JK.

The photo is very clear and was taken by CIA agents in the Green Zone.

The person standing next to Song Heping is Henry, the intelligence broker codenamed JK.

"Why did he come back with Song Heping?!"

After saying this, Simon suddenly wanted to slap himself.

This statement reveals one's intelligence too much.

It is really unbecoming for a CIA intelligence station chief to say such things.

Why did you follow Song Heping back?
Isn't this obvious?
Just for yourself to see!

Simon quickly considered another terrifying possibility.

The assassin team he sent to Algiers mysteriously disappeared and there has been no clue since then.

Now JK followed Song Heping back to the Irigo Green Zone. Doesn’t this mean that the disappearance of his killer team has something to do with Song Heping?

I was wondering before who was helping JK escape. Do I still need to ask now?

Of course it’s Song Heping!

Based on this speculation, Simon soon broke out in a cold sweat.

He had leaked information about Song Heping's shipment of SA-9 missiles to the Sahel to the French through JK. Now that JK had defected to Song Heping, he must have confessed everything to him. Otherwise, Song Heping wouldn't have protected him, brought him back to Irigaray, and even brought him into the Green Zone so openly...

It's obviously a demonstration to myself!
"FUCK!"

He lost control in an instant.

He reached out and swept the things on the table to the ground.

Simon realized that he was facing a crisis.

If Song Heping compiled these facts into documents and submitted them to the military...

The consequences were absolutely catastrophic.

Generally speaking, there is no precedent for conflicts between the CIA and the military.

After all, it is America’s family shame and cannot be made public.

For those involved in the incident, those who took the blame resigned or were demoted. This is the best outcome.

The worst thing is to just disappear and tell others that it was an accident or that he died while performing a mission.

Someone has to be responsible.

Don't expect the senior executives at Langley to take responsibility for you. This was done without any instructions or approval from their superiors. I did it entirely on my own.

After a long moment, he finally regained his composure and looked up at the subordinate in front of him. "I'll handle this matter. Have someone continue to monitor Song Heping. Also, destroy all records of this operation. Re-compile the team that went to Algiers and the details of the operation, and report them as casualties of a covert counter-terrorism operation."

"Yes……"

When the men saw Simon's red eyes, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

My boss seems to have lost his mind, like a beast ready to eat people at any time.

"I'll see to it."

"Well, apart from you, me, and the people involved in the operation, there can't be any new people who know about this matter, otherwise you know the rules!"

"I know."

The agent felt as if a piece of ice was stuffed into his heart, making it very cold.

"If it's alright... I'll go out and do something."

"Go ahead and remember what I said!"

"I remember."

After giving some serious instructions, Simon sat down dejectedly in a chair after his men left.

Now, he felt a knot in his heart.

A ball of hemp that can entangle itself to death.

What you have to do is to find a thread in this mess and slowly unravel the whole mess so that it no longer becomes a trouble to you.

He was as quiet as a zombie. After thinking for half an hour, he finally understood one thing - the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

This time, there is no one else who can solve his trouble except Song Heping, and no one else can help. If the problem can be solved by using force or some secret operation, Simon will certainly kill Song Heping at all costs.

The problem is that he is now in the Green Zone and he really can't do anything to Song Heping.

Even if they fabricate charges and arrest him and throw him into Guantanamo Bay prison, there has to be evidence. Moreover, what Song Heping is doing now is working for the military.

The warning words that Major General Peter gave when he arrested Song Heping and intercepted his cargo last time still lingered in his ears.

You can't force it.

What's more, Song Heping's fighting ability...

Simon felt a little discouraged at the thought.

It seems that his agents and GRS members are no match for that guy.

If you can't kill the other party, then there is only one way left - compromise.

Finally, he picked up the phone on the table.

After a moment's hesitation, he let it go.

Then pick it up again.

After repeating this three times, Simon finally made up his mind and dialed Song Heping's cell phone number.

After three rings, the call was connected.

Song Heping's voice came from the other end: "Stationmaster Simon?! Why is it you?! You're so well-informed! You knew about it the moment I returned to the Green Zone? Did you send someone to follow me?"

There was contempt, ridicule and warning in these words.

In the past, Simon would have acted like a webmaster to control Song Heping.

But these days are different.

Now I have to ask for help from others.

When asking for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help.

"Of course not. I just heard someone happened to see you in the Green Zone. Why would I send someone to follow you? Aren't we friends? Everything before was a misunderstanding. Now you are General Peter's man, and we are one of us. I won't do that kind of thing..."

"This is the first time I've heard the stationmaster say we're friends, and it's also the first time I've heard you treat me like one of your own! To be honest, I'm flattered!"

Song Heping said in a half-joking tone, "Stationmaster, you're not calling to treat me to a meal to welcome me, are you?!"

"Yes! Ah... yes, yes, yes!"

Simon was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed.

"I called specifically to invite you to dinner, as you know... We had a little disagreement before you left for Africa last time. Fortunately, General Peter intervened and we all cleared up the misunderstanding. I wanted to treat you to dinner to make amends at the time, but you were busy at the time, and I couldn't let you get away from your work. Now that you're back, it's perfect. I just don't know if you're free."

"I'm free! Of course I'm free!"

Song Heping said straightforwardly, "That's right, but I'm a picky eater. You know, Chinese people are very picky about food. I won't come without good wine and good food."

“Chinese restaurant, happy to meet you!”

The Xi Xiang Feng restaurant that Simon mentioned is the most upscale Chinese restaurant in the Green District.

Chinese food has always been expensive.

This shows that he is full of sincerity.

"Don't worry about the wine, I have good wine here! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Song Heping said, "What about the time?"

"We'll meet at Xi Xiang Feng Restaurant in one hour, at 5:30," Simon said impatiently.

Song Heping seemed a little hesitant. "Oh, what a coincidence! I was planning to report this work to General Peter. You know, I had a very close call this time. I encountered pirates hijacking my ship in the Red Sea, and then I was surrounded by the Eritrean military to inspect the cargo. I'm really confused. It seems that wherever I go, someone knows what I'm going to do... This is not normal. I need to have a good chat with the general. I have a bold guess."

"What guess?" Simon asked hurriedly.

"Stationmaster, I'm telling you this because I treat you like one of my own." Song Heping said coldly, "I suspect there's a traitor!"

"A traitor?!"

Simon felt the muscles on his face cramping a little. He wanted to force out a laugh to cover up his panic, but he couldn't.

"Yes, a traitor! Not many people know about this. You see, the general is one, but he can't be a traitor, right?" Song Heping asked knowingly.

Simon replied dryly, "Well, of course not..."

Song Heping added: "You also know what I'm carrying, but..."

Having said that, he deliberately paused to whet the audience's appetite.

Simon felt his mouth dry, and he swallowed hard before saying, "But what? You think I'm a traitor?!"

Song Heping laughed and said, "No, no, no, I can't say anything. You're one of us, how could you be a traitor? However, this matter is really strange. I decided to let General Peter and the others investigate. After all, their ISA department will definitely be very interested in investigating, especially since I just left Africa and the Colonel Isad who I traded with was killed by the French army. It's too bizarre..."

Simon screamed: "What does his death have to do with me?"

He was very confident.

Indeed, Simon had nothing to do with Isad's death.

"Stationmaster, did I ever tell you that this has something to do with you?"

Song Heping's question caught Simon off guard.

Yes.

Song Heping didn't say it had anything to do with him, so why should he be so nervous?!

"No... I'm just worried there might be misunderstandings between us, right?" Simon quickly changed the subject. "Let's talk about our meeting later. I think you shouldn't report to General Peter. Go tomorrow morning instead. The military has been pretty busy lately. General Peter seems to have a cocktail party tonight. Let's not disturb him. Come over to my place and sit down for a while."

Song Heping said, "Okay, but I'm bringing a new friend over for dinner. By the way, what a coincidence, he's also in the intelligence field, so he's kind of in the same industry as you, right?! I wonder if you guys know him!"

I know this new friend is JK without asking.

Simon seemed a little hesitant.

If you say you know him, you're walking into a trap.

If you say you don’t know each other, can you hide it when you meet?
They are all life-threatening questions.

"I know him... but I'm not very familiar with him..."

Simon could only give a vague answer: "He seems to be working as an intelligence broker in North Africa."

Song Heping said without hesitation: "It will be easy if we know each other. You haven't seen each other for a long time, right? I want you to meet tonight. I'll listen to you. I'll put aside the report to General Peter for now. Let's meet tonight and catch up. In fact, I have a lot of things I want to say to you, the stationmaster. That's it. See you in an hour!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
