Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 667 Backhand
After Nathan left, Kelly sat in her office chair and stared ahead.

There was a billiard ball on the desk, which kept making slight popping sounds.

Kelly likes to use this little gadget to concentrate her mind, allowing her to be more efficient when dealing with complex events.

However, this time the concentration failed because the phone rang.

She glanced at the number and her expression changed slightly.

But in the end I still picked up the phone.

"SIR."

"Kelly, Irigo's operation yesterday was a complete failure. Mr. Campbell is very disappointed. He invested so much in laying the groundwork for this."

Deputy Director Pence's voice came from the other end of the line.

Pence is in charge of global special operations and is Kelly's immediate superior.

As the executor of the "Presbyterian Church", Campbell used a lot of connections to put pressure on the military and Wood Energy, cutting off all sources of business for Song Heping in Irigoe.

According to the opportunity, what the CIA has to do is to use the secret card I5I5, let them attack Song Heping's transportation and oil field security business, accelerate the termination of the contract, and then eliminate the other party in one fell swoop when Song Heping goes to find Samir, and give an explanation to the Curtis family.

But it backfired.

Song Heping is not dead.

Even the people's power arming failed to remove this thorn.

The entire operation ended in the failure of the I5I5 armed forces.

Now even the agent stationed there to handle I5I5 liaison matters has disappeared.
Things have developed to this point and seem to be on the verge of getting out of control.

"Song Heping has started to fight back. He seems to want to completely break off relations with us. Two of our agents deployed in Yiligo to handle the I5I5 project have disappeared. According to the on-site investigation, it was an elite team equipped with NATO equipment who did it. Logically, they are not military personnel. I suspect it was Song Heping's team."

"Attacking our people in Irigo?"

Pence also just learned the news and was shocked.

"Inform the military of the situation and have them cooperate with us in arresting Song Heping."

"I'm afraid not..." Kelly said, "Song Heping is a very meticulous person. This can be seen from the operation in Mexico. He had already made all necessary preparations before attacking our agents. His company in the Green Zone is now deserted. No one knows where he has gone, but what is certain is that he and his people are in the southwest, probably with the armed forces of the People's Power."

"SHIT!"

Although as the deputy director of the CIA, he is also a high-level intelligence official, Pence still did not remain calm after hearing what Kelly said.

Is this going to be a big deal?

Attack our agents in a place like Irigo that is controlled by the coalition forces?
Is this Chinese guy crazy or stupid?

"Kelly, I don't care where you found this lunatic, but we have to eliminate this hidden danger now! You said he's in the Southwest. Is it possible that he escaped back to Mexico?"

"He didn't go back to Mexico, that's for sure," Kelly said. "There's one more thing I haven't had time to report to you..."

"What's going on?!" Pence smelled something bad. "I don't want to hear bad news." "I'm sorry, sir," Kelly said. "It's bad news. We just received word that Barrett, the undercover agent who had been planted inside Song Heping's organization, is dead. His body was found hanging under an overpass yesterday and is currently in the hospital morgue. I've arranged for someone to contact the Mexican police to investigate."

Pence fell silent.

The bad news that came one after another made the deputy director in charge of operations feel his blood pressure rising.

If a country's power could inflict such a blow on the US intelligence agencies, it would be acceptable.

Such incidents occurred during the Cold War period in history.

It's just that the opponent is just the owner of a defense company, and he was fattened up by the US military. It was the CIA itself that placed him in the drug smuggling network controlled by Mexico, thus making huge profits.

In other words, it was these people who nurtured Song Heping to such a strong level that they are now losing several agents in succession.

"Kelly, when you released him to Mexico, didn't you have a backup plan to deal with him? Don't you have any responsibility if he loses control?"

"I have a backup plan, don't worry. Barrett has been undercover beside him for the past year and has a very clear understanding of his capital flows. We have access to more than a dozen shell companies Song Heping uses to launder money overseas. They all have accounts in offshore banks in certain archipelagos. A senior executive of his company named Ferrari is responsible for laundering money for him."

"We can put him on the wanted list under the pretext of combating drug crimes, pursue him through the DEA and the police, and then pursue him through Interpol, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Pence quickly gave instructions.

Kelly said, "Sir, that's exactly what I was thinking. However, he's currently in Irigo. I've already ordered Nathan to lead two Watchmen teams to hunt him down. We don't need to call in Interpol yet."

Pence hummed and said, "That seems like a good idea, but there's one thing. It seems the Watchers have fought Song Heping before, and they didn't seem to have gained any advantage. I think I'll go talk to Mr. Campbell and use their Satan assassin organization. They're also the best of the best."

Kelly said, "This seems to complicate things. After all, Huggins and Jody hold some intelligence. If it falls into Song Heping's hands and he makes it public, it will cause us a lot of trouble. Baghdadi's people have been getting more and more violent recently. During their operation last night, they actually massacred innocent villagers from two villages. If freelance journalists knew about this, it would be a major blow to our image."

"No matter what means, these things cannot be exposed. Do you understand me? No means, not even the media."

Pence's tone was gloomy and firm, leaving no room for doubt.

Kelly nodded. "Understood, sir. I'll take care of everything. If we can't catch Song Heping this time, I'll activate the contingency plan. I'll brand him a drug trafficker and then mobilize international organizations and pursue him through a multinational collaboration. I believe no country will dare to shelter him, unless it's an anarchic nation in a war-torn region."

"Of course it's good if you're sure."

Pence pinched his eyebrows.

"This is so disgusting, damn it! It's the weekend today, and my vacation is ruined again!"

After the call ended, Pence thought about it again and again in his office, and finally picked up the phone.

"Mr. Campbell? It's me, Pence. Um...something went wrong with Zdong. Kelly just reported the situation to me. That guy started to fight back...Don't worry, don't worry, he hasn't got the ability to trace it back to you yet...Yeah, yeah, yeah...Don't worry. There's one more thing. We've already sent an elite combat team to Elygo to hunt him down, but I'm still a little worried. Yes, yes, yes...I want you to send an elite team to Elygo as a backup. That's right...I'll arrange the formalities and let them in as defense personnel...Yeah, yes...no problem. Okay, that's it. Have your people contact me."
