Chapter 459 Zhao Liying's Yearning



Upon hearing Zhou Xinghe's words, Wang Chao's face darkened. "Are you really so eager to die??"

What on earth was going on in this guy's head?

Zhou Xinghe realized his mistake and chuckled, saying, "Sorry, big brother. I have a tendency to speak without thinking. I was just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

"Well, if it's about testing the medicine, then fine, I'll do it!"

After saying that, he immediately took the antidote from Wang Chao and swallowed it in one gulp.

Within two minutes of taking the antidote, he picked up the poisoned tea poured by Wang Chao and drank it all.

Shen Bing stared intently at Zhou Xinghe, observing him closely.

The cup of poisoned tea contained a lethal poison, and even a small amount caused the mice to die instantly. If an ordinary person were to drink it, they would undoubtedly perish.

Therefore, she wanted to see if Wang Chao's antidote would have any effect on an adult male.

Five minutes passed, and Zhou Xinghe was unharmed.

"You see, the antidote works, he's fine," Wang Chao said calmly.

"It's a matter of great importance, let's observe a little longer," Shen Bing said.

"Chairman Shen, Wang Chao is highly skilled in medicine and pharmacology. He never takes risks without certainty, let alone joke about his own life. You don't need to worry," Zhao Liying said calmly.

Having worked with Wang Chao before, she knew that he was a master in the field of medicine and poison. She had personally witnessed his extraordinary abilities.

Frankly speaking, Wang Chao was the most incredible and unbelievable person she had ever encountered.

He was immune to all poisons!

She had seen Wang Chao ingest lethal poisons and still remain unharmed.

Although Chen Yong's poison was potent, she believed that it posed no threat to Wang Chao.

"No, we still need to observe. It concerns human life," Shen Bing insisted.

She was meticulous and rigorous, and she didn't want Wang Chao to take unnecessary risks.

Wang Chao sighed at her indecisiveness.

How could they proceed with their plan if she remained so hesitant?

Ignoring Shen Bing's objection, he immediately swallowed the antidote and then drank the final cup of poisoned tea in one gulp.

"No!"

Shen Bing's heart skipped a beat when she saw Wang Chao's actions. Her face turned pale, and she looked at him with great fear. "Are you... are you okay?"

That was a lethal poison!

How could Wang Chao do such a thing?

"I'm fine."

After drinking the poisoned tea, Wang Chao spread his arms and spun around to demonstrate that he was perfectly fine.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Shen Bing, however, remained concerned and kept her gaze fixed on Wang Chao. "Let's observe a little longer. After the poison enters the body, it needs to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestines before it takes effect. It won't happen so quickly."

Zhao Liying smiled faintly as she watched Shen Bing. She thought to herself, "Women in love can be so foolish, losing their basic judgment."

She understood Shen Bing better than anyone else. This so-called wealthy and powerful woman was acting completely out of concern. It was clear that she had developed feelings for Wang Chao, which was why she was so worried and afraid that he might experience even the slightest problem.

If it were in the past, the decisive Shen Bing would never act this way.

Love truly made people lose their wits!

Zhao Liying scoffed inwardly, shaking her head. She didn't say anything but found it somewhat amusing and, at the same time, a little sad.

Shen Bing could experience love and be blind to everything else. But for someone like herself, a lone assassin who had roamed in the darkness and thrived in the depths of hell, she couldn't trust anyone at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liying sighed and looked out the window, wondering, "When will I ever have love?"

As an assassin, she had lived her life seeking revenge ever since her parents and loved ones were slaughtered by Pei Buji and his men.

The vibrant years of youth, the time for romance and high school, were all spent in training and assassination.noVεLuSb.com

In these years, she either engaged in killing or pursued her path of killing.

Love, to her, was not a necessity but rather an elusive and intangible emotion that would interfere with her revenge.I think you should take a look at

Now that she had avenged her great enmity and eliminated Pei Buji, her life had lost its purpose. She wanted to return to a normal life, to experience romance, get married, have children, and carry on the Zhao family bloodline.

However, she had no understanding of what love truly was. Love was something she had never known. Apart from her friendship with Wang Chao, she had always been alone, a killer who didn't dare trust anyone.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Liying sighed and looked at the window, her heart filled with anticipation.

In this big city, under the protection of the Shen family, she hoped she could meet some handsome young men.

She began to envision a future of stability and comfort, with a less tiring job, living in a villa, taking care of animals, planting flowers and plants, and being in a loving relationship with a man she liked.

It was a life she had longed for in the past.

Now, she finally had the opportunity.

As she thought about it, her gaze fell on Wang Chao again, and she sighed inwardly.

To be honest, during the time she spent with Wang Chao, she had indeed developed feelings for him and desired to have beautiful memories of love with him.

But before she had avenged her enemies, she suppressed her impulses and deliberately avoided developing that kind of relationship with Wang Chao. She feared that if she fell deeply in love, she would lose her motivation for revenge.

Now, looking back, there was already Shen Bing by Wang Chao's side.

She would never have the chance to develop a romantic relationship with Wang Chao.

With that realization, she sighed once more.

No one paid any attention to Zhao Liying's sentiments.

Shen Bing kept her eyes on Wang Chao, her gaze filled with worry. "Brother Wang, how do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"I've already said I'm fine, everything is normal," Wang Chao replied with a wry smile.

Shen Bing still did not fully believe it. She made Wang Chao stay there for an hour to ensure he was completely fine. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It seems like your antidote really works."

"So now you can rest assured, right?" Wang Chao asked.

"Yes," Shen Bing nodded.

"Okay, now I'll go and prepare another dose of antidote. Don't worry too much. When you see me pretending to be unconscious later, just act and cry. We'll deceive Shen Dongshan that way," Wang Chao said.

Shen Bing nodded again.

With a sense of relief, Wang Chao immediately went to gather the herbs and prepared another dose of antidote.

At this moment, Liu Yifei snapped out of her focused state. She pushed back her hair, took off her headphones, and turned her head with a puzzled look at Shen Bing and the others. "When did you all arrive?"

"We've been here for a while," Wang Chao said.

"What? How come I didn't know?" Liu Yifei looked even more puzzled.

"All you have in your eyes are your experiments. How could you notice us?" Shen Bing glared at her.

Hearing this, Liu Yifei didn't get angry but excitedly said, "Bingbing, I've made a new discovery. It seems like I've deciphered another ancient prescription."

She paused for a moment and then proudly looked at Wang Chao. "This time, I did it all by myself. Even without your help, I can still decipher it."

Wang Chao and Shen Bing both gave her a thumbs up. "Impressive!"

After speaking, the two of them turned around and left.

They had already wasted too much time here. They needed to hurry back and coordinate with Chen Yong to deceive Shen Dongshan. They couldn't afford to waste any more time.

As for the new medicine that Liu Yifei had researched, they could review it after the board meeting was over.

Zhao Liying and Zhou Xinghe also turned around and left.

Liu Yifei was taken aback and called out, "Hey, do not you desire to know what ancient prescription I deciphered this time?"

Wang Chao and the others did not even turn their heads and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Liu Yifei's face darkened.

She had been devoting herself to the laboratory, sacrificing sleep and food every day. Finally, through her own efforts, she had deciphered an ancient prescription. She had hoped to receive praise from Shen Bing and Wang Chao.

But the two of them just left without even asking about her achievement!

Liu Yifei muttered, "Damn Shen Bing, damn Wang Chao! They did not even ask what I deciphered. Do not I deserve recognition?"
