Zhou Hong was Shen Dongshan's informant planted in the security department, responsible for monitoring Chen Yong and Wang Chao's every move.
Now that he witnessed Chen Yong offering tea and Wang Chao drinking it, how could he let it pass? He had to take pictures to commemorate the moment!
"Brother Wang, are you okay?" Chen Yong whispered.
Although he knew that Wang Chao was immune to all poisons, this was still poison after all, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Keep going," Wang Chao whispered.
Hearing this, Chen Yong finally relaxed and put on a sorrowful expression. He said, "Minister Wang is magnanimous, wise, and mighty. Thank you, Minister Wang."
After speaking, he knelt on the ground and knocked his head against the floor, causing blood to flow from his forehead.
Wang Chao's gaze turned icy, and he did not bother to help him up. Instead, he addressed all the security guards, saying, "Did you all see that? This is the consequence of making mistakes!"
"If any of you dare to make another mistake next time, I guarantee that you'll suffer even more than him!"
"Do you hear me?"
Little Wang, Wang Hongyao, and others looked at each other, but in the end, they were overwhelmed by Wang Chao's authority and dared not say much.
"Alright, get up. Don't embarrass yourselves here. Go back to work!"
Wang Chao glared at Chen Yong and pulled him up from the ground, whispering, "After I'm in trouble, someone will hold you accountable. Shen Dongshan won't let you go. So, run away quickly!"
As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of paper into Chen Yong's hand and whispered, "Leave the company and go to the address written on the paper. Someone will meet you there."
Afterwards, he forcefully pushed Chen Yong away.
Understanding the situation, Chen Yong nodded at Wang Chao and continued with his performance, expressing his profound gratitude, "Alright, thank you, Minister. I'll go on patrol now."
With that, he turned around and ran, quickly leaving the area.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Hong furrowed his brows and thought, "Why did Chen Yong run so fast?"
Soon, he realized the reason behind it.
Chen Yong had poisoned Wang Chao, and before long, Wang Chao would succumb to the poison. At that point, someone would surely call the police and Chen Yong would be taken in for questioning.
At that time, Chen Yong would naturally run as far as possible.
"Trying to escape? Heh, can you really get away?" Zhou Hong stared at Chen Yong's fading figure with cold eyes.
"Alright, everyone disperse and get back to work," Wang Chao ordered, scanning everyone with a glance.
Wang Hongyao, Little Wang, and the others had no choice but to leave, feeling helpless.
Zhou Hong took the opportunity to leave as well and sprinted in the direction Chen Yong had gone. While running, he called Shen Dongshan to report, "Chen Yong has fled. Should I eliminate him now?"
"Take him out of Canton City first and then figure out a way to deal with him. Don't let him stay in the area," Shen Dongshan coldly replied.
"Understood."
Zhou Hong nodded, hung up the phone, and quickened his pace, desperately chasing after Chen Yong.
As he ran, he couldn't help but reflect, "It seems that Wang Chao does have some skills. The breathing techniques he taught are truly impressive. I've only trained for a few days, and my speed has already improved significantly."
"What a pity. He offended President Shen, and his fate is sealed."
With these thoughts in mind, he increased his speed once again, swiftly disappearing like a wisp of smoke.
In the security room, Wang Chao watched the figure of Zhou Hong chasing after Chen Yong, his eyes narrowing.
It seemed that there were indeed spies planted by Shen Dongshan in the security room. Aside from Zhou Hong, there were likely others as well.
Without hesitation, he turned around, bit open a prepared blood bag, and let out a scream, spewing the blood from his mouth. He then collapsed to the ground, his face pale.
"Minister Wang!"
Seeing Wang Chao fall, the security guards who had yet to go on patrol were shocked by the scene.
Little Wang and Wang Hongyao had just reached the door when they heard the noise. They turned around and saw Wang Chao in that state, their expressions changing. They immediately rushed over and supported him.
Wang Hongyao was the first to check Wang Chao's pulse, furrowing his brow.
His pulse was weak, almost indiscernible.
"Quick, call an ambulance! And also, immediately summon the company doctor for emergency treatment," Wang Hongyao shouted.
Although he was not a doctor, having served in the military and experienced life and death situations, he could tell at a glance that Wang Chao was in critical condition.
Little Wang, although oblivious of what had happened, saw Wang Chao's pale complexion and cold, clammy skin. His expression changed as well, and he immediately stood up and called for an ambulance.
At the same time, Wang Hongyao took out his phone and called the company's doctor.
Danfeng Group was a large corporation with its own dedicated medical team responsible for the health of its employees.
When news of a minister's accident reached the company's doctors, they should have swiftly arrived at the scene.
However, for some unknown reason, the doctors were delayed, and no one came to provide emergency treatment for half an hour.
After thirty-five minutes, the ambulance finally arrived, but by then, the medical team found that Wang Chao had already stopped breathing and his heartbeat had ceased.
After examining Wang Chao's body, the doctor in the ambulance sighed and said, "The patient has already passed away."
At that moment, Shen Bing had just rushed in from outside and upon seeing Wang Chao lying on the ground without any signs of breathing or heartbeat, her face turned extremely pale, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Her body weakened, almost collapsing.
"President Shen," Zhao Liying quickly supported Shen Bing, holding her steady.
"How, how could this happen? Weren't they saying he would be fine? How could he die?"
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao's 'corpse,' tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling.
Zhao Liying furrowed her brow slightly and quickly looked over at Wang Chao. It was not until she saw the flat line on the electrocardiogram displayed on the monitor that her face turned pale as well.
The electrocardiogram was completely flat. Had Wang Chao truly passed away?
But did not he just take the antidote moments ago?
"Boss!"
Zhou Xinghe rushed over, immediately pressing his ear against Wang Chao's chest to listen for a heartbeat. He then placed his fingers by Wang Chao's nostrils.
No heartbeat, no breath.
After confirming these two points, Zhou Xinghe's expression changed, and he slumped to the ground, murmuring, "How could this be? Big Brother, how could you be gone?"
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Big Brother, you are joking with us, right? Please get up quickly."
He shouted like a madman, but it was all in vain. Wang Chao remained motionless, lying there peacefully, like a lifeless body.
"Wang Chao, how could you leave me like this?"
Shen Bing's eyes turned red, and she threw herself onto Wang Chao, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face. She was heartbroken, speechless in her grief.
Among the onlooking security guards, a guard named Zhang Jian discreetly filmed the scene on his phone and sent the video to Shen Dongshan, saying, "President Shen, it's confirmed. Wang Chao is dead."
