Chapter 658 - 632: Doing the Opposite
I don’t know what happened, but it’s certainly not Gao Yi who is desperate right now.
But Gao Yi is definitely the most dangerous right now.
The reason is too simple; the FBI is almost openly defying orders, standing unreservedly against the President. No matter why they’re doing this, knowing they’ve reached this point means there’s no turning back.
The FBI has to undergo a major overhaul unless they manage to replace the President.
A gentleman does not stand under a perilous wall. Gao Yi stepped back a few steps, completely entering the lobby of the Compaq Building, at least not giving the distant sniper a chance to shoot.
The details of what happened are still unknown, but news should be coming soon. Indeed, just as Gao Yi anticipated, his phone started ringing right after he took a few steps back.
Gao Yi answered the call, and he heard Panetta speaking in a slightly frantic tone: "Just now, the President was assassinated, a bullet hit his face."
"What? Is the President alright?"
"He’s okay, specific injuries are still unknown, but the first order the President gave after moving to a secure location was to protect you."
"Why? What’s the connection between the assassination attempt on the President and me?"
"Because the President now truly needs the Dark Web. You’re the best candidate to take control of it. Before, you were useful to the President, now, the President needs you."
