People around who saw the scene were in an uproar, but they weren't foolish and naturally wouldn't believe that the chief coordinator was carrying out an assassination in such a situation. There must be sothing strange about it, and they began whispering curiously. The slain person was also suppressing their anger while contacting their superior, evidently not daring to believe that the other party would attempt an assassination openly.
Luo Zheng looked at the scene in shock, his eyes full of relief. The chief coordinator was going to shake hands with him just now, and if he hadn't been distracted by that familiar person and hesitated, failing to shake hands successfully, he might have ended up lying on the ground.
"This is an assassination targeted at ." This thought flashed rapidly through Luo Zheng's mind, and his face instantly beca cold and grim. Soone actually attempted an assassination openly, and although it didn't succeed, such tactics were terrifying—what might they not do? Who could it be? Luo Zheng quickly glanced at the Sam Country table but saw Jackson among the spectators, showing nothing on the surface.
"This cos from you; the other party was manipulated." Hong ihua said in a low voice.
"Yes, I know." Luo Zheng said solemnly, and began to ponder over the corpse on the ground.
At this point, the leaders from various countries who were dining in the inner room arrived upon hearing the news, led by the host President whose face was livid. He charged in front, looking at the chief coordinator collapsed on the ground and shouted sternly, "What is going on here?"
Openly attempting to assassinate guests invited from other countries—what kind of behavior is this? As the highest authority of the host country, this President had to show a stance, or it might lead to diplomatic conflict between the two countries, which could even escalate into a war.
The chief coordinator was awakened by the President's stern shout, pushed away the guards helping him, and shafully explained loudly in the international common language: "President, it was my hand that acted, and I am willing to take full responsibility for his death. But please give an opportunity to explain."
The President was pleased with the chief coordinator's reaction: first admit the mistake to appease everyone's anger, take the bla upon oneself instead of shifting it to the country, and finally request an opportunity for explanation. This way, everyone could calm down and objectively listen. Nonetheless, the President's face still showed an angry expression as he coldly commanded, "Speak."
"My ring was tampered with, how it was tampered with is unclear. If possible, please give a day to investigate. Regardless of the outco, I am willing to accept any punishnt." The chief coordinator cleverly bowed to the victim's President to state his position, seriously pleading.
The victim's President wasn't foolish either, and sensed the sll of conspiracy. He glanced at his people, then seriously said, "I'll give you a day, but you must provide an account for this."
"I guarantee with my Presidential credibility that this matter will definitely be accounted for to your country." The host President hurriedly said, looking at the chief coordinator, then at the victim already dead on the ground, said with a face full of sorrow, "The deceased is innocent, it was our wrongdoing, we must quickly ascertain the truth and give our friends an explanation, go ahead, don't let the deceased's soul be unstable."
"Yes." The chief coordinator replied with a face full of anguish, hurriedly agreeing, and after bowing again to the victim's President, turned away angrily.
This sudden assassination had everyone tense, no longer in the mood to continue eating, and the welcoming banquet ended heavily, Luo Zheng and others escorted the chairman to withdraw and returned to the villa. Luo Zheng was preparing to convene everyone to discuss the matters that transpired at the banquet when the chairman pulled him aside to sit in the lounge on the second floor.
"Your emotions weren't right just now, what happened exactly?" The chairman asked seriously.
"That chief was initially coming for , and just happened to notice a familiar person. Hesitated for a mont, didn't shake hands with them, causing them to leave in dissatisfaction, then shook hands with the deceased and the tragedy occurred. In other words, it was an assassination targeted at , whether the chief was a participant remains uncertain." Luo Zheng explained sternly.
"So that's how it was, these people are truly reckless and unscrupulous, the suspect might be uninford and manipulated; there's no need to openly assassinate in such a setting. I will inquire about the details from the host, they're already taking action, what's your plan?" The chairman asked sternly.
"I have a suggestion." Luo Zheng had a sudden inspiration and said.
"Speak." The chairman asked curiously.
"The mastermind behind this is most likely Sam Country, since I'm the first victim, though I narrowly escaped, I can request participation in the investigation. If we catch the mastermind, we can use the host's power to retaliate, disrupt Sam Country's plans, potentially turning the tables." Luo Zheng quickly said.
The chairman thought for a mont and said, "That's feasible, I'll contact the host country's President imdiately."
"Yes, I'll arrange it." Luo Zheng responded cheerfully and imdiately agreed, picked up the phone in the room, and it being internal, with dedicated personnel answering, Luo Zheng directly reported his identity, requested to converse with the opposing President, and after waiting a while, received a reply that the President would co personally to dialogue.
Luo Zheng relayed this outco to the chairman, who keenly detected the underlying issue and said, "Seems the host country's President also realized you're the primary victim and ca to explain, you don't need to avoid, just listen quietly, say anything needed directly."
"Yes." Luo Zheng readily agreed.
A few minutes later, the host country's President hurried over, Luo Zheng, representing the chairman, went to greet him at the door. The President left a large group of guards at the door, carried the security chief with him, and followed Luo Zheng to the second floor, reaching the chairman's exclusive lounge where the chairman got up to welco and invited him to sit down for conversation, exchanging pleasantries, appearing affectionate and familiar.
Luo Zheng watched the host security chief subtly, noticing him also looking at himself, carrying a bit of sha and self-bla. Luo Zheng smiled indifferently, and the other awkwardly squeezed out a bit of a smile, though this smile was uglier than a cry.
At this point, after the pleasantries between the two country leaders, the host country's President changed the topic, pointed at the chief, and said in a deep voice, "Respected chairman, I've understood the situation, he is Steve, engaged in security work for twenty-three years, experienced, my most trusted individual, definitely wouldn't voluntarily assassinate. He told that your person almost got hard, I deeply regret this and earnestly beg chairman to forgive our country's mistake."
"The event has occurred, solving the problem is the right path. Since it was my person targeted for assassination, the victim rely mistakenly killed, I have the right to know the truth and request participation in the investigation. He is called Ghost, my most trusted person." The chairman pointed at Luo Zheng and said seriously.
"Thank you for your trust, it is our honor." The host country's President said gratefully.
