After the cook and Song Heping left, Thomas returned to his desk and once again propped his legs up on the table, reaching into his pocket to retrieve something.
Suddenly, the computer screen lit up, displaying a dialog box for an encrypted video call waiting to be confirmed.
Seeing the ID code, Thomas quickly maneuvered the mouse and connected the call.
His direct superior appeared on the screen, Bront, the chief of operations at Langley.
"Thomas, I have some bad news to inform you of,"
Hearing his superior mention bad news, Thomas, who had planned to report good news, was momentarily stunned.
"You need to organize and classify the operation files about Angel. Someone will come to take over soon."
"Who?! Who is taking over?"
Thomas felt as if a spring had been installed under his chair, giving him an urge to jump up on the spot.
Thomas had been tracking Operation Angel.
He had even been assigned here largely because his superiors had tasked him with this responsibility.
