Chapter 566 - 544: True and False
Panetta stood waiting just outside the White House gate.
It wasn’t as if Panetta could just waltz in and demand to see the President, but at this critical moment, he was ready to die trying inside the White House if that’s what it took.
There were always ways to come up with a legitimate excuse.
"Joelson will go in as my assistant. As for who else comes in, that’s up to you to decide!"
Gao Yi couldn’t help but feel a newfound respect for Panetta at this moment.
Ruthless. Decisive. When Panetta realized that Gao Yi was his only option, he was truly willing to risk it all. He wasn’t even bringing any of his trusted inner circle, putting his life and everything else entirely in Gao Yi’s hands.
After finishing his words, Panetta pulled out his phone and, staring intently at Gao Yi with a grave expression, said, "I’ll call the President now, claiming I need to report a critical emergency face-to-face. The excuse? Someone has infiltrated the White House intending to carry out an assassination."
Gao Yi nodded lightly in agreement.
In a low voice, Panetta continued, "If we win, Wei Feng is the assassin. If we lose, we’re the assassins. There’s no third possibility."
Gao Yi exhaled slowly. "Alright."
