In Illiguo, Simon received the notice that Director Kelly wanted to connect with him via video call on a secure line.
After the security department handled it, a link prompt soon popped up on his computer.
"Sir, what do you need from me?"
He could hardly hide his shock.
Although he was not Kelly's subordinate but was instead a station chief of one of the Middle East division's branches under the Intelligence Department,
for a person like Kelly to contact him directly indicated that the matter was extremely urgent and the level of secrecy extremely high.
"Simon, there's a person I want to ask you about."
"Who?"
"A China Person, Chinese name—Song Heping."
As this name entered Simon's ears, it was like a thunderbolt.
His complexion changed slightly, and his muscles stiffened a bit.
"What's wrong? You seem surprised."
Even though it was a video call, Kelly acutely noticed Simon's unnatural reaction.
"Yes."
