Barrett was deeply troubled.
He stayed by Song Heping's side to undertake a surveillance role.
From the start, when Kelly attempted to collaborate with Song Heping, she had already planned to plant an undercover operative by his side.
For an outsider who isn't within their own system, cooperation is possible, but one must always be on guard.
For the CIA, it is acceptable for someone to be the fall guy, but it must be a fall guy they can control.
And one who can be disavowed at a critical moment with all the blame dumped on them.
Unexpectedly, Barrett suddenly realized that he couldn't fathom Song Heping at all.
This person's actions often defied expectations.
Like how he dealt with the four major families this time.
According to the CIA's deductions, Song Heping would ally with Shorty to fight a life-or-death battle with the four major families, and whichever side failed, it would not be detrimental to the CIA.
