This is not an assassination.
When everyone around the president systematically falls into a state of blindness and deafness, it's no longer an assassination; it's a coup.
Gao Yi would never have thought that the bodyguards around the president would make a move. Of course, he wasn't prepared for it, and he never could be.
Moreover, the bodyguard who fired did so incredibly fast and with great accuracy. Even in such circumstances, Gao Yi took two shots and didn't die, which can only mean his heart was in an exceptional position.
There were countless bodyguards outside, at the elevator, downstairs—Gao Yi felt there was no way he could escape.
If escaping is impossible, feigning death might offer a glimmer of hope.
A tiny, extremely faint hope.
Gao Yi lay on the floor, barely opening his eyes, watching as several bodyguards swarmed in, rushing to the president's side.
"The president has been assassinated..."
Panic-stricken cries began to erupt.
