"Song, why are you calling so late? Is there an ergency?"
Kelly had just finished a eting discussing Song Heping when she imdiately received a call from the man himself.
This couldn't help but make her feel a bit guilty subconsciously, causing her to look around, feeling as though Song Heping might be hiding in the shadows watching her.
"Of course, there's an urgent matter. I'm about to perform a significant action tomorrow, but I need you to give so bargaining chips."
"Bargaining chips?"
Kelly didn't agree imdiately.
Song Heping was unpredictable, and she had discovered that every move he made was very deliberate.
His words couldn't be easily agreed to, or else it was very easy to fall into a trap.
"What kind of bargaining chips do you want? Speak up and let's hear it."
Song Heping said, "I plan to establish a direct channel to transport goods from Colombia to North Arica, and I need the support of the DEA and your agency."
"Goods?"
Kelly imdiately realized what kind of bargaining chips Song Heping was asking for.
"Song, what exactly are you doing? Right now, I need you to deal with those drug lords in xico, not for you to go to Colombia to talk business with the drug lords there!"
Suddenly, she was shocked.
"Are you in Colombia?"
"That's right." Song Heping was very candid: "I'm currently in Colombia, and I plan to have a eting with the drug lords here and take over most of their rchandise."
Song Heping was in Colombia.
Kelly suddenly understood why he had gone to Venezuela.
He purposely smuggled himself from Venezuela to Colombia to tell her that if he didn't want to, the CIA would find it hard to track him down.
Telling her now that he was in Colombia was actually a kind of reminder.
She had never encountered soone who dared to play these kinds of tricks with her.
"Do you realize who you are speaking to right now? Do you really think we are drug dealers?" Kelly's tone beca harsh.
"What's the difference?" Song Heping said, "We are both smart enough not to beat around the bush. Of course, I won't go around announcing with a loudspeaker that you are drug dealers, but isn't it a fact that you want to control the drug market in South Arica? What I'm doing now is helping you achieve this goal."
"I don't control the DEA. I can't help you." Kelly said, "If you can, go talk to the DEA directly."
Song Heping was silent for a mont, then conceded as if he had compromised, "Well then, if that's the case, I am powerless... I'm not concerned with what happens next, you can send your own people to deal with Shorty. After all, our previous transaction has been completed, I've already obtained the network of the Balot Organization for you. That contract is fulfilled, assisting you against xican drug lords, that's a separate agreent. If you're not willing to cooperate, I admit I don't have the capacity to fulfill your needs, then you might as well seek soone more skilled."
After finishing, he hung up the phone.
His operation left Morins sitting opposite him, drinking, completely dumbfounded.
This guy figured it out—the person Song Heping was talking to must be a high-ranking CIA official.
Then, Morins gestured a thumbs up to Song Heping: "Song, you really are my idol!"
Song Heping raised his glass to clink with Morins, smiling, "I'm just a small company, I don't have as many people as you do, you have eight thousand under you, I only have a few hundred."
Morins glanced at Song Heping's satellite phone and asked, "You're threatening her like this, aren't you afraid she'll turn on you?"
"Am I afraid of them turning on ?" Song Heping said.
Morins laughed, "Of course you're not afraid!"
Song Heping quickly changed the subject, "No, you're wrong. I'm actually quite afraid of falling out with those CIA bastards. Of course, they're more afraid of turning on , at least at the current ti. If I walk away now, I will indeed face obstacles everywhere in South Arica later, they might even send soone to kill , or find a charge to extradite to the United States, but what of it? Let them have the ability to kill and we'll talk. However, without my help, they won't be able to restructure the drug market in xico within three years. If I'm unwilling, and secretly arrange so surprises for them, their losses will be even greater. When choosing between the lesser of two evils, what do you think they will decide?"
"Since you're scared..." Morins felt like he was patting a horse's leg instead of patting its back, and his smile beca unnatural: "Why did you hang up on her call..."
Song Heping glanced at his phone, "Believe it or not, she will definitely call back within five minutes. If I'm not mistaken, she's montarily in touch with soone from the DEA to discuss whether to accept my conditions."
Morins was astonished.
Song Heping checked his watch, "Any mont now."
He pulled out a stack of US dollars from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"Here's ten thousand US dollars. All the cash I have on , if she doesn't call back within five minutes, ten minutes at the latest, I lose. Want to bet?"
Morins cheerfully called to his subordinates, "Bring ten thousand dollars in cash here."
Soon, the money was brought, and Morins threw the notes on the table.
"Let's wager ten thousand to see if you're really that accurate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen of Song Heping's satellite phone lit up.
Song Heping looked at the number, smiled, and said to Morins, "You lost."
After saying that, he answered the phone.
"Lady, have you thought it over?"
On the other end of the phone, Kelly's voice sounded sowhat helpless, "I've just contacted the relevant people at the DEA, it's okay, you can have a sales channel to North Arica. We and the DEA will ensure your safety, no one will bother you."
Having obtained assurance, Song Heping knew that this ti it was secure.
He had long understood Kelly's hand.
Up to now, neither Kelly nor Barrett knew that he was already aware of their undercover identities.
One of the benefits of keeping Barrett close was to infer what Kelly actually knew about his situation from his conversations and what the CIA's most urgent needs were regarding the current the situation.
"Thank you for your help, Lady. I knew you wouldn't let down," said Song Heping with a hint of sarcasm.
Kelly replied coldly on the other end, "We have provided everything you need, and we hope you won't let us down."
"I've said before, within two, at most three months," Song Heping promised calmly, "As long as you cooperate, you will get everything you want. It's been a pleasure working with you, good night, Lady. I hope you have sweet dreams tonight."
Dropping the phone, Song Heping pulled the twenty thousand US dollars towards himself on the table, then told Morins, "I won."
Morins raised his glass, "Song, you're much more amazing than I imagined. Cheers to you!"
Song Heping said, "Drinking is easy, serious business is hard. Rember, ensure tomorrow's eting is arranged well, without any room for error."
"Don't worry, though Marulan and Autoneil may not obey my commands, if I ask them to et, they'll definitely show up."
