Gao Yi is destined to die, but Panetta is on the brink of madness.
How could it be that the President has been assassinated under such normal circumstances?
And even if there's been an assassination, how could it possibly involve Gao Yi?
As one bad news after another arrived, Panetta felt like the sky was falling and he was on the verge of losing his mind completely.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
"The Special Service Bureau just issued a notification. The President was assassinated while meeting the Gardener. The Gardener killed two bodyguards protecting the President, then severely injured the President. The President is currently critically injured, with what appears to be a comminuted fracture of the skull. He has already been sent to the hospital..."
"Wait, critically injured? Cranial injury?"
"Yes."
"It wasn't the Gardener, definitely not!"
