Reality was pressing down hard.
Song Heping could no longer afford any hesitation.
The situation was deteriorating faster than he had imagined.
He had thought the Elder Council would start with economic sanctions against him and then gradually move on to actions that threatened his personal safety.
Now it seemed they were attacking on both fronts simultaneously.
After leaving the massacred village of Imam, Song Heping decided not to return to the Green Zone.
It was no longer safe.
After all, the Green Zone was under the control of the US Army and intelligence departments.
If he went back there, it would be like walking into a trap.
He first made a call to Ferrari.
The latter was, in fact, not asleep.
"It's so good to hear your voice!"
Ferrari sounded genuinely relieved.
"The feedback from all channels has been very unfavorable. Henry has received some warning information, saying the CIA might have already made a move."
