106: Press conference investigation results on assassination

Due to the terrorist attack and assassination, the press conference naturally could not continue.

Fang Le and his group were escorted back to the State Guesthouse under the highest security protocols. The entire State Guesthouse was on high alert, activating an internal self-review mode and restricting personnel movement.

Two hours later, Minister Dong came to Fang Le's suite and first apologized.

"I'm sorry, Brother Fang, for putting you through such a great risk."

Even now, Minister Dong was still terrified by the sudden incident that occurred at the press conference.

If the attacker had succeeded, the damage to Long Country's prestige would have been devastating, and it was hard to predict what kind of chain reaction Fang Le's death would trigger.

Fang Le chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Aren't I fine?"

Saying it was nothing was also a lie, after all, he was almost successfully assassinated by the attacker.

Unless one experienced it firsthand, they couldn't truly understand the danger of being on the brink of life and death.

However, Fang Le was more curious.

"Minister Dong, have you found out what happened with the attack?"

Minister Dong did not hide anything.

"The Department of Defense initially suspected that the reporter from Southern Newspaper and the attacker were accomplices. The Southern Newspaper reporter was to disrupt the venue, and the attacker would seize the opportunity to strike. However, there is currently no concrete evidence for this, and the reporter's actions seem to be isolated… Of course, it's not ruled out that the reporter was used."

Fang Le: "What about the investigation into the attacker?"

At this question, Minister Dong's face darkened.

In this incident, even if the Southern Newspaper reporter was indeed hired, it didn't mean much.

The important thing was that the attacker was one of their internal personnel.

For such a high-level press conference, all security personnel at the venue, especially those qualified to carry firearms, had been meticulously selected. Their backgrounds had to be impeccable, and their ideology could not have any flaws.

The attacker, for instance, was from Long Country's 98816 unit, specifically used to protect the highest leaders, and his family had a 'red' background. It should have been impossible for him to be infiltrated and subverted by foreign forces, let alone betray the country.

Under these circumstances, why would that person want to assassinate Fang Le?

Unfortunately, that person was shot dead by Yan Ruyu, making interrogation impossible.

Minister Dong had a premonition that this investigation would likely end up unresolved.

Finally, Minister Dong excused himself, and before leaving, he said, "Brother Fang, there's just one thing… Our two sides originally planned to hold a large song and dance gala after the press conference. I even held a rehearsal early on, and many spectators would have participated."

"But given the current situation, we've had to adjust it to a small dinner party with a limited number of people, all of whom are our own… I wonder if Brother Fang is still willing to participate?"

Fang Le thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll participate."

After Fang Le decided to participate in the dinner, many staff members arranged by Long Country's Department of Defense came to him to assist with various preparations.

This included security preparations. Given the previous assassination attempt, Fang Le had his team participate in the banquet's security system.

And Fang Le's personal bodyguard, Yan Ruyu, as the only person qualified to be Fang Le's female companion, was also surrounded by a group of female staff arranged by Long Country, who helped her with various outfits, makeup, and trying on clothes.

It was as if they were treating Yan Ruyu as the "First Lady" of the Anti-War Army!

It seemed that some stunning events would occur at the upcoming banquet.
