The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

At that moment, his smile suddenly froze, his eyes opened wide as he hurriedly leaned over to look at his right arm. At this point, Tang Shiyun’s hand had inexplicably picked up a syringe, its needle precisely stabbed into his arm. Not only that, the liquid in the syringe had already been completely injected into his body.

"Girl, you..." Ling Chen didn’t have time to say more, hurriedly pulling out the needle and climbing off the bed.

Seeing Ling Chen’s cold face, Tang Shiyun involuntarily curled into a ball, her face full of fear.

"I... I didn’t mean to..." Tang Shiyun stammered, "I just..." as she spoke, she burst into tears.

Ling Chen glanced at the syringe in his hand, his mouth slightly open, ready to say something. But suddenly, a strange sensation appeared inside his body, his limbs seemed unwilling to cooperate, and his strength gradually waned. Suddenly, his legs gave way, causing him to collapse to the floor, foaming at the mouth.

As his body convulsed, Ling Chen gritted his teeth and, with the last shred of consciousness, reached into his pocket, fumbling for his phone and dialing a number.

"Help... help me!" he mustered all his strength to utter these words, then his head tilted to the side, losing consciousness. In less than two minutes, there was a loud ’bang’ as the door was kicked open from outside, and Kaelina, Qiu Yong, and their group rushed in.

Seeing Ling Chen collapsed and unconscious on the ground, everyone’s expression changed drastically.

"What happened? Who did this?" Qiu Yong checked on Ling Chen and then turned his gaze to Tang Shiyun huddled in the corner. The room contained only Ling Chen and Tang Shiyun, and since Ling Chen was harmed, Tang Shiyun should know the perpetrator.

However, Tang Shiyun hugged her knees, curled up in the corner, her face deathly pale, seemingly not hearing Qiu Yong’s question, sobbing incessantly, muttering: "It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, I didn’t mean to..."

Seeing Tang Shiyun’s emotional breakdown, Kaelina urgently said, "Don’t ask too many questions now, quickly take Ling Chen to the infirmary."

Qiu Yong responded promptly, lifting Ling Chen’s body and hurriedly following the others to the infirmary. As the group left, Kaelina approached Tang Shiyun, gently saying, "Don’t worry, Ling Chen will be fine. Take a rest, I’ll go check on Ling Chen’s condition and come back to find you later."

After finishing, she patted Tang Shiyun’s shoulder and got up to leave. At the doorway, Xu Hong happened to walk over.

"You’re here just in time, something happened to Ling Chen. Miss Tang seems to have been shocked, you should comfort her thoroughly."

"Okay." Xu Hong nodded, and after watching Kaelina leave, quickly approached Tang Shiyun, then took out her phone from her pocket, dialing a number.

Meanwhile, in the infirmary at the base, Ling Chen was placed on a hospital bed by Qiu Yong, and a doctor in a white coat stepped up to closely examine Ling Chen’s condition. After a while, the doctor spoke: "If I’m not mistaken, he should be poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Yuan Yun asked seriously, "Doctor, do you know what poison it is?"

"It’s not clear yet; a blood test is necessary."

"By the way!" At this point, Qiu Yong handed a syringe to the doctor, saying, "I found this from his hand, there’s some residual liquid inside."

"Alright, I’ll take it for testing immediately."

With all the equipment available at the base, everyone waited anxiously in the infirmary for over half an hour before the test results of the liquid finally emerged.

"Mr. Ling’s poisoning is quite troublesome." The doctor, studying the report, frowned and said, "If the test results are correct, I extracted fifteen toxins from the residual liquid, forming a potent mixed poison. If his body wasn’t stronger than average, he might have already succumbed to the poison."

Hearing this, everyone was alarmed.

"Doctor, since we know what poison he has, is there a treatment?" Xia Yue asked impatiently.

"Well..." The doctor shook his head, stating, "Sorry, in all my years practicing medicine, I’ve never seen this type of mixed poison. If I attempt treatment, the chances of success are only around five percent. Let’s start by injecting him with some antidote to temporarily alleviate the toxins in his body, while you find an experienced doctor as soon as possible, there might be a glimmer of hope."

"Miss Zhu!" Qiu Yong said seriously, "She’s quite skilled in medicine, we could invite her over." As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jiahao quickly added, "I have Zhu’s phone number, I’ll call her right away."

Soon after, the doctor administered the antidote to Ling Chen, who finally regained consciousness.

"Ling Cheng, Ling Cheng." Qiu Yong and others gathered around Ling Chen, asking with concern, "How are you feeling, are you okay?"

Ling Chen struggled to sit up, but found himself entirely devoid of strength. Xia Yue gently pressed on his chest, saying, "The doctor said you’re very weak now, so just lie down."

"Ling Cheng, what exactly happened just now?" Yuan Yun inquired, puzzled, "Weren’t you with Miss Tang in the room? How did you suddenly get poisoned, who injected you?"

"Shiyun..." Ling Chen weakly asked, "Where is she?"

"She’s in the room; she seemed to be in shock, so we let her rest with Miss Xu accompanying her, she should be fine."

Upon hearing Kaelina’s words, Ling Chen pressed urgently, "Find someone to watch her immediately, Shiyun’s acting strange. She was the one who took me by surprise and injected me with the needle."

"What?" Everyone was startled.

"I’ll go find her right away." With that, Kaelina swiftly dashed out of the infirmary. However, shortly after she left, she quickly returned to the medical room.

"I went to your room to look for her but didn’t see her, or Miss Xu either."

"Secure all exits of the base; they must not escape." Ling Chen gasped.

The doctor beside him reminded, "Mr. Ling, try to control your emotions and avoid agitation; otherwise, it will only accelerate the toxin’s damage to your body."

Ling Chen nodded, taking a deep breath, saying, "When they are found later, make sure not to harm Shiyun and Hong, as this matter is unrelated to them — it should be Zhu Hong’s plot."

"Zhu Hong?" Qiu Yong asked, "What does he have to do with this?"

Ling Chen looked at everyone’s puzzled expressions, unsure how to explain. Last night in the mountaintop laboratory, he discovered an experiment called deep hypnosis that could alter the subject’s memory. Tang Shiyun and Xu Hong were likely modified, hence why they suddenly turned into assassins against him.
