Chapter 458 Testing The Poison
Chapter 458 Testing The Poison
?
Wang Chao worked quickly, and within twenty minutes, he had developed three antidotes and placed them in front of Shen Bing.
"Is this the antidote?" Shen Bing frowned.
"Yes, these are the pills I have developed that can neutralize any poison," Wang Chao replied.
Fortunately, they were in Liu Yifei's research laboratory, which was equipped with various alchemy tools. Wang Chao could dissolve and extract the substances from the poisonous drugs right away.
"How do you plan on testing the poison?" Shen Bing furrowed her brows.
"I have memorized the composition of the drug that Shen Dongshan gave to Chen Yong. I'll mix it together shortly. There are plenty of Chinese herbs here, so I can find whatever I need," Wang Chao explained.
He then began searching through the numerous boxes of herbs. Ten minutes later, he retrieved all the poisonous substances from the package Chen Yong had received and displayed them in front of Shen Bing.
There was Duan Changcao, He Dinghong, Sheng Fuzi, Sheng Nanxing, Hongniangchong, and Sheng Tianxian...
These were all highly toxic Chinese herbs, and some were even deadly. Just a few grams could kill a person.
Now, Wang Chao had laid them all out in front of Shen Bing for comparison.
Shen Bing glanced at them and immediately recognized, "Indeed, they are identical to the drugs in the video."
She had an exceptional memory and never forgot what she had seen.
Although there were many herbs with diverse species here, she could discern them at a glance.
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Chao with an increasingly astonished expression.
The types were the same, the quantities were the sameāit was all small details.
But what amazed her was that the amounts of the drugs Wang Chao had collected were identical to those Chen Yong had collected in the video, down to the last gram. Even the sizes of each herb were remarkably similar.
It was simply inconceivable!
Even with 3D printing, achieving such precision would be difficult.
Wang Chao mixed all the poisonous substances together, found a teapot, poured out the water inside, and immersed the toxins in it. After a while, he poured out three cups of highly toxic tea.
The tea had a golden hue and a strong fragrance that could invigorate the senses, bringing a sense of pleasure.
"I never expected someone to handle poisonous substances so skillfully, combining all these toxins together to create tea. Impressive," Zhao Liying exclaimed.
"I've been out in the world for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a tempting poison," Zhou Xinghe added.
If they hadn't known beforehand that these substances were poisonous, they might have even thought that Wang Chao was brewing tea.
Wang Chao remained calm and said, "The person who can create such a deadly poison must have exceptional medical skills and considerable strength. There must be skilled experts behind Shen Dongshan."
"So, this time I have to play a role to deceive Shen Dongshan."
"As long as I appear dead, Shen Dongshan will think that you have lost all your backing. Then, at tomorrow's board meeting, he will think he has the upper hand and lower his guard."
"At that moment, you can seize the opportunity and catch him off guard!"
"But..." Shen Bing still looked worried.
She didn't want Wang Chao to be poisoned and lose his life just for her victory.
If the price of winning was sacrificing Wang Chao's life, she would rather lose!
"I know no matter what I say, you still have concerns. So, let's conduct an experiment."
Wang Chao turned to Zhou Xinghe and said, "Zhou Xinghe, there are some mice in the room to the east. Go and fetch a few of them."
"The east? Where is that?" Zhou Xinghe looked around, his eyes filled with confusion.
Zhao Liying was puzzled and looked at Zhou Xinghe, "You can't distinguish east from west?"
"I..." Zhou Xinghe looked embarrassed, unable to form a complete sentence.

His sense of direction had never been good, even when sailing on the sea, he relied on sailors and captains for navigation. He couldn't tell east from west!
"You do not even have this basic knowledge. I really don't know how you managed to join the Night Corps. Forget it, I'll go get them."
Zhao Liying shook her head, once again looked at Zhou Xinghe with disdain, and walked out of the room.
Zhou Xinghe's face turned red. He turned to Wang Chao and complained, "Big brother, we're inside a building, indoors. Can you use terms like front, back, left, and right?"
"I thought you would know. I didn't expect your sense of direction to be so bad," Wang Chao replied.
Zhou Xinghe: "..."
Fine!
Who asked him not to know?
He deserved to be bullied.
"How did you know there are mice over there?" Shen Bing curiously asked.
"I'm the security here. I often patrol inside the building, so I'm familiar with what's in every office." Wang Chao casually replied.
Not only the offices, during this period, he had also discovered many security risks and had informed the logistics department through Little Wang. They had already made numerous modifications.
Shen Bing was slightly taken aback by Wang Chao's words. She looked at his face, unsure of what to say.
She had promoted Wang Chao as the head of the security department with the intention of weakening Shen Dongshan's control over Danfeng Group, thereby fostering her own influence.
However, she didn't place much hope on Wang Chao, let alone expect someone of his caliber to work diligently and seriously.
Never would she have imagined that Wang Chao would excel at his job as a security guard and have such a deep understanding of every office in the building. He even went so far as to spend his own money to train the security personnel.
It made her feel somewhat guilty!
Just as she was about to say something, Zhao Liying entered the room carrying a cage with mice. She placed it in front of Wang Chao.
Wang Chao took out two mice, feeding one with the antidote while leaving the other without it.
After approximately five minutes, he brought an injector and injected the previously brewed poisoned tea into the mouths of the two mice, making them swallow it.
Five minutes later, the mouse that didn't receive the antidote had blood flowing from its mouth, convulsed, and died within a minute.
The mouse that received the antidote remained healthy, jumping around energetically.
Wang Chao looked at Shen Bing and asked, "How about now? Are you reassured?"
"Wait a little longer."
Shen Bing still couldn't relax and continued to observe the mouse that received the antidote closely.
She observed it for nearly thirty minutes, but the mouse remained lively and unaffected.
"Now, are you reassured?" Wang Chao asked.
Shen Bing's expression grew serious. She said, "Mice and humans have differences. The mouse is so small and consumed a significant amount of antidote, so it's unlikely to be affected. But humans are much larger, and this small amount of antidote might not be enough to counteract the poison."
"That's why I still do not recommend you to do it."
Although she knew the result of the experiment, she was still concerned. After all, it was a lethal poison. She did not desire Wang Chao to take avoidable risks.
"I knew you would think this way."
Wang Chao sighed, then turned to Zhou Xinghe. "Come here, take the antidote and then drink the poison."
Zhou Xinghe was taken aback and instinctively said, "Boss, are you kidding? You desire me to try the poison?"
"Are you tired of me and trying to poison me?"
