Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 691 Mysterious Informant
"Old squad leader, why are you still awake so late?"

Jiang Feng suddenly appeared beside him.

Song Heping looked up at him and said, "I woke up and couldn't sleep, so I got up and walked around. I didn't expect to receive bad news."

"What bad news?" Jiang Feng immediately sat down beside the flower bed after hearing that, then began to rummage through his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one, and lit it.

"I originally wanted to use the US media to expose the CIA and the 'Satan' organization's operation in Silia, thereby disrupting the CIA's plan to deal with us. However, I didn't expect that the reporter who took the information was just killed."

Jiang Feng's expression changed slightly: "Killed?"

"Yes, they said it was a car accident. Do you believe it? He died in a car accident less than half an hour after leaving the press conference."

Song Heping sighed.

"Now we are in a passive position again. If we can't disrupt their own position and let them advance step by step, our situation will become increasingly difficult."

Jiang Feng said: "This is covering your mouth. Just kill the person who holds the information. I guess all the information you gave me has been taken away."

Song Heping nodded: "It's expected, but no one will investigate this case. The local police station simply doesn't have the ability to do so."

The two were silent.

Song Heping extended his hand to Jiang Feng: "Give me a cigarette."

Jiang Feng was stunned.

He had never seen Song Heping smoke.

"Do you smoke?"

Song Heping said: "I smoked for a while before joining the army, but I quit after joining because the physical training was too uncomfortable."

Jiang Feng handed the cigarette over and lit it for Song Heping with his lighter.

The firelight illuminated Song Heping's face, and Jiang Feng saw deep worry in his eyes.

Song Heping took a puff, choked a little, and started coughing repeatedly.

Jiang Feng said: "What should we do now?"

Song Heping held up the cigarette in his hand and said, "We've found a breakthrough. Our biggest problem now is that we don't even know who our opponent is or where they are. It's like we're in a fog, and the other party has completely taken the initiative."

"Isn't that the CIA's covert operations department?" Jiang Feng said, "This is all their plan. Let's just go after them."

Song Heping shook his head. "The Secret Operations Department is an intelligence unit. It's just a tool. Kelly and I don't represent ourselves. The people behind them want me dead now: the legendary 'Presbyterian Church' and the 'Satan' organization."

"Are you talking about those black-clad mercenaries who appeared in the town of Silyagerashuk?" Jiang Feng asked.

Song Heping said: "Yes, they are not from the CIA, nor are they mercenaries. I guess they are private armed groups, but the people behind them are more powerful."

"No one has been able to take the reward until now." Jiang Feng suddenly said: "I guess no one knows the identities of those people and the true situation of these organizations."

Song Heping took a puff of his cigarette and shook his head. "No, it's not that no one knows. There's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable. The reason no one dares to take the reward on the dark web isn't because no one knows about it, but because everyone who knows about it knows the consequences of leaking the organization's secrets."

"What then? Are we stuck in Persia forever?"

"of course not……"

Song Heping said, "There will be a way to deal with it eventually. The day before yesterday, I asked Ferrari and Henry to post the photos of the bodies of the men in black on the dark web. There will always be someone who can provide clues. As long as we find out the origins and background information of these people, we will definitely find a breakthrough."

Having said that, Song Heping was still unsure at the moment.

It seems that there is still a chance to break the deadlock.

Just then, the phone vibrated again.

Although Song Heping's phone is usually on 24 hours a day, he received the most calls at midnight today.

It seems that the situation has reached a very urgent level, otherwise no one would call and wake someone up in the middle of the night.

It was Ferrari who called.

Before Song Heping could speak, Ferrari shouted excitedly.

"Good news! Good news!"

Ferrari is always known for his calmness, but this time he spoke in a startled manner, which showed that he could no longer contain his joy.

"Tell me, what's the good news? I've heard too much news today. Please neutralize it for me."

"Someone contacted us and wants to claim the $50 million reward!"

Song Heping could hear Ferrari's heartbeat accelerating through the radio waves.

"Are you sure?!"

Song Heping was cautious and asked hurriedly, "Have you verified the reliability?"

"It's been verified, no problem! The other party is from the DIA, formerly responsible for intelligence analysis and compilation. He claims to have compiled some top-secret files involving the 'Presbyterian Church'..."

"and many more."

Song Heping stopped Ferrari from talking nonstop.

"How could the DIA have information related to the Presbyterian Church? After all, the Presbyterian Church is a secret society, an underground organization that kills people and murders Satan. It has nothing to do with the US intelligence system. How could it be connected?"

He pointed out some doubts and loopholes in this matter.

DIA is an abbreviation for the Defense Intelligence Agency. It is also an intelligence agency, but it is the most secretive department in the US intelligence community, with its specific personnel and budget unknown to the outside world.

It was established in 1961 by order of the U.S. Department of Defense. It is mainly responsible for meeting the intelligence needs of the major departments of the Department of Defense. It performed very well during the Cold War. The bureau is divided into the Directorate of Intelligence (DI), the Directorate of Clandestine Operations (NCS), the Directorate of Science and Technology (DS&T), and the Directorate of Support (DS).

Most of the intelligence technicians in this bureau have high academic qualifications or are experts in certain fields. The organization, personnel, funding and activities of the agency are strictly confidential, and even Congress cannot interfere.

"I had the same question as you, but he gave a very good explanation. The assassins of the 'Satan' organization are all retired special forces soldiers. They were recruited by the 'Presbyterian Church' before they retired, offering generous compensation and conditions, and then helped with the retirement procedures. After signing the contract, they will stay at a secret military base overseas and receive training support from the military. Therefore, the military will also archive the information of these trainees and classify it as confidential. He saw the photos of the black-clad men who died in Celia that I posted above and found that they matched the people in the files I compiled, so he contacted me."

Ferrari's explanation is fine.

However, Song Heping was not happy after hearing this.

This means that the military is also involved.

Before, Song Heping always believed that organizations like the "Presbyterian Church" would definitely not want people to know the existence of this armed force when recruiting private soldiers, but they openly used the US military's training facilities and resources for training, which shows that they have people in the military.

Otherwise no one would dare to do it.

Previously, Song Heping thought that the CIA had control of this information, but he never imagined that there was such a big fish behind it.

have to……

There is probably one more person on his list of opponents - the US military.

"He said he sorted out the files on those people. What proof does he have?"

Song Heping raised the question again.

Ferrari said, "At first I thought he was trying to scam me for the bounty, so I asked him to send some information to prove his story. And he actually did. I've already sent it to your secret email address. Download it and take a look. I think it's pretty reliable. He provided two sets of personal information that match the appearance of the man in black you killed in Galashuk."

After hearing what he said, Song Heping could no longer sit still. He threw away the cigarette butt, crushed it, and returned to his room.

In order to facilitate Song Heping's work, Afanti not only prepared a separate room for Song Heping in the military barracks, but also connected the Internet cable, which was really considerate.

Turn on the computer, enter the system, access the dedicated router, and then enter the secret mailbox.

Sure enough, there was a disguised encrypted new email in the mailbox. Song Heping skillfully downloaded it and unlocked it with the password they had agreed upon long ago.

Soon, two files provided by the whistleblower appeared on the opposite side.

After a careful check, Song Heping felt the pressure in his heavy heart gradually relieved.

These two files are very detailed, even including various psychological indicators, stress tolerance, etc. during training.

On the contrary, at the end, looking at the various resumes, they are all about service experience in the US military, which unit he served in for several years, what special training he received, etc.

"Ferrari, I want to know if he has a specific list of members of the 'Presbyterian Church'."

Ferrari said: "Probably not, but he has detailed information on many members of the 'Satan' organization, including many who did not participate in the last operation and survived."

Even the information of the surviving members is available, which is very valuable.

As long as we know who the other party is and where he is, the rest will be easy. Unless he doesn't leave America, Song Heping will certainly not let him go.

"How much does he want?"

After reading the information and listening to the explanation, Song Heping felt that it was probably true.

"He not only wanted money, but also a set of fake Venezuelan identification documents, a real fake passport."

"It seems he knows quite a bit about us and knows we have the ability to do this in Venezuela..."

"In addition, he has two conditions."

"What conditions?"

Song Heping was a little stunned.

"You can only pay in person, and the money will be transferred on the spot after inspecting the goods."

"No problem, I understand his mentality. We wouldn't even bother asking him to pay us first. There are plenty of people trying to take advantage of the situation these days and cheat people out of money. A face-to-face meeting is fine, I agree. Where can I meet him?"

"The fence is tender."

"Hmm..." Song Heping said, "He's a good choice of place. It's not under US control and is also a hub for intelligence trading. Okay, promise him that Libanen is very close to here, and Persia also has a certain influence there. I'll ask Afanti to handle some paperwork for me and go there in person."

"You're going there in person?"

"Can you still go now? We're all on the blacklist. I don't think any airline will accept our orders. As soon as you get on or off the plane, someone will arrest you. If you dare to leave Russia."

Song Heping smiled bitterly and said, "It's OK on my end. Afanti and the others should have a way to avoid going through the formal channels."

After a pause, he asked again, "Didn't you say he had two conditions? What's the other one?"

"We need to arrange for him to have plastic surgery. We need to find a reliable doctor, preferably one who can perform the surgery in Persia. He knows we have the ability to do it."

This condition made Song Heping burst into laughter.

This is the first time I've seen someone having plastic surgery for him.

However, this shows how scared the other party was. After completing this deal, he probably took the money and changed his name.

"You can agree to it. Also, verify his reliability. If there's no problem, set a time and I'll go meet him. As long as we get this information, we can strike back and make sure none of the killers on the list survive."

"Okay, I'll go connect with him right away."
