Pence retreated hastily towards the dedicated fire escape, surrounded by bodyguards.
On the way, two of the bodyguards quickly put another set of level III bulletproof vests on him and fastened a Kevlar helmet.
This is the heavy-duty bulletproof vest used only in emergencies; he had always worn the light type before.
This meant that he was now in an extremely dangerous state.
Although this custom armor worth 8,000 US Dollars could stop a 7.62mm rifle bullet, it gave him no sense of security at this moment.
He knew that lunatic too well—Song Heping never launches a frontal attack, he is like a true ghost, always finding the opponent's weakest moment.
"Sir, we're taking the emergency passage."
Bodyguard leader Mc Coy opened the secret door to the hotel's fire escape, a hidden passageway for VIPs that leads directly to the underground parking lot.
Pence's legs were somewhat weak, covered in cold sweat.
