Chapter 1114: Dead meat
"Thank you for the concern and for coming in here..." Dominic smiled at the reporters, who were invited to the private conference room to write down the articles regarding the newly elected minister, who also survived an assassination attempt.
The reporters eagerly listened to his every word, writing down notes, and mentally preparing themselves to beat other reports for questions. Dominic addressed the issue of his assassination attempts, his time in the hospital, and his decision to return to his post.
"Minister Zhu, is it true that it was your assistant who orchestrated the assassination?" one of the reporters asked when the chance came.
Dominic maintained a smile. "No."
"Then who was it?" said a few reporters in unison.
"The police are still investigating it, but my assistant isn’t purely innocent," Dominic clarified patiently. "He was blinded by promises and received unknown money from another source. He might not have been the person who orchestrated the attack, but he is just as guilty. He’s already in custody and I leave everything to the authorities."
"Minister Zhu, do you have any suspects behind this attack?"
"Minister Zhu, is it true that another assassination attempt happened while you were in the hospital?"
"Do you think it’s one of your rivals who did such a violent and cruel attempt?"
The reporters asked questions almost all at once, and even before they could get answers, they would move on to their next question. Dominic maintained a smile despite this growing chaos, raising his hand to stop them.
His action was enough to silence everyone, but not enough to stop the cameras from flashing.
