Hello, Mr. Major General (1)

Chapter 135 - Finally

“Colonel Reddy has the required security clearance?” Sidharth opened his computer to check the internal
system. There were a total of 18 security clearance levels within the Indian Military, with the highest level
further branching into levels A, B and C. Level A was the highest clearance possible.

Reva held a Level C in the highest clearance. Although it was the lowest level in the highest clearance, she was
qualified as one of the people privy to Shehnaaz’s car accident six years ago.

“Let her join the meeting.” Sidharth dialed Reva’s direct line and she arrived quickly. As soon as the doors shut when she entered the small conference room, anti-interference and anti-surveillance capabilities were initiated to transform the room into a dead zone impenetrable to even the most sophisticated satellites.

Deepak read off his laptop to concisely summarize the event from start to finish. Reva listened to the briefing
carefully and grew stern. She looked at Sidharth, “Mr. Shukla, I already opposed sending Shehnaaz abroad from the very start. I believe it’s imperative that we retrieve her
immediately.”

“Retrieve her? How would we do that? She’s being sued. It’s not like she can abscond from bail?” Sandeep was the first to object.

“That’s the best option.” Reva’s gaze was firm as she rapped her slender fingers on the conference table. She had long, black hair with natural curls that made her seem especially charming. However, she clipped it back most the time to look more serious.

Deepak also objected, “No. If Sana absconds from bail, she will never be able to live freely again. We can’t
have that.” He, Rohit, Sidharth and Sandeep were all the closest people to Shehnaaz. Emotionally, he would never be able to stand seeing Shehnaaz suffer.

Revy turned her head to him, eyes were full of indifference, “Secretary Rathi, I know that you all were responsible for caring for Shehnaaz the past few years. You’re only human, so it’s natural you care about her. It’s
understandable that you feel sorry for her, but you also have to remember that you are soldiers and that Shehnaaz is a task, not a family member.”

Deepak didn’t look at Reva directly, but he could see her expression from the corner of his eye. He clutched the mouse, lowering his eyes to focus on his laptop monitor and scanning it for a way to help Shehnaaz. He was a
soldier, but Shehnaaz wasn’t just a task–he saw her as his own younger sister, so he couldn’t agree with Reva.

However he couldn’t give a direct rebuttal.

Sandeep was speechless for some time as well. He snuck a glance at Sidharth and only saw his impassive
expression. It was like Reva’s words had no effect on him. He was truly Mr. Shukla. This unwavering disposition is
worthy of his title of General and not something ordinary people possessed.

Sandeep rolled his eyes and intentionally remarked, “Colonel Reddy, what do you mean? When did we treat Shehnaaz like family? Of course she’s a task, otherwise why
would Mr. Shukla agree to use her as bait and send her to the States to lure out the enemy? –Mr. Shukla, isn’t that right?”

Sidharth’s face remained stony, but the slight twitch in his eyes didn’t escape Sandeep’s keen observations.

Sandeep smiled inwardly and shifted his gaze to Reva as he spread his palms, “Now there is a problem with the mission, so we must find a solution for it. Colonel Reddy, is your solution to admit that our plan to lure out the enemy has failed?”

Reva’s eyes flashed as she looked at Sidharth, and failed to detect any change on his handsome yet cold face. On the other hand, Sandeep’s round face appeared amiable, but his tongue was scathing.
