Song Heping listened quietly, his face showing no change in expression.
But those familiar with him could see that his gaze had become sharper.
"And what about Major General Duke?" Song Heping asked. "What role does he play in this drama?"
A complex expression flickered across Blake's face.
"Duke... actually, he's an idealist, or rather, he used to be. By the way, have you talked to him?"
"I have." Song Heping did not hide it.
At this point, there seemed to be no need to conceal his relationship with Duke.
"He disclosed files, saying he wanted to stay out of the scandal, to retire safely."
"Ha." Blake suddenly laughed, with a hint of sarcasm. "You got played by him."
"Played?" Song Heping's heart stirred with unease.
Blake nodded. "'Seeder' plan was implemented in Siria while he was at the Pentagon. He is one of the insiders of this chemical weapons attack framing plan."
Song Heping paused, instinctively swearing, "Damn!"
