Soon, Xiao Kai felt the thumping sound of his heart beating.
There was still the sound of the TV in the quiet room, but in Xiao Kai's ears, there was only the rustling sound of the background and the beating of his heart. He ignored what was being broadcasted on the TV.
After what seemed like only a few seconds, he felt the blood vessels in his head pulsate with the beating of his heart. Every beat was like a sharp knife piercing through his skull, and the knife also stirred in his brain.
So painful …
Xiao Kai wanted to cover his head with his hands. Past experience told him that it would be better if he did that.
But his hands felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and he could not lift them at all. No matter how much strength he used, the simple action of lifting his hands seemed like an impossible task.
His mind was blank, and Xiao Kai felt regret. All the drugs were poisoned, and he must have been poisoned! He felt that time was passing very slowly, very slowly. The events of countless years ago unfolded in his mind, flashing in front of his eyes.
Was this the rhythm of his death? Xiao Kai no longer had the ability to think. He could only passively feel the pain in his head, which was even more painful than the area in front of his heart. He felt the soreness and weakness in his limbs. He felt the arrival of death.
His limbs and bones felt swollen and numb. It was heavy, as if they were weighed down by countless lead weights. It also felt as if his blood vessels and muscles were filled with blood. The bright red blood flowed ceaselessly in his body until it stagnated and no longer flowed.
It was … too terrifying. Was this the feeling of death? Xiao Kai had this thought in his mind.
There was great terror between life and death that he could not experience when he was healthy, but at this moment, Xiao Kai finally understood something.
His desire to live was so strong that he used all his strength to open his eyes.
It was a very simple action, but now it was more difficult than reaching the heavens. And even such a simple action seemed to burn too much energy, causing a problem with the blood supply to his heart. The pain in front of his heart increased as he opened his eyes.
I can't go on like this, I have to ask for help, I have to ask for help!
Xiao Kai overcame the fear in his heart, suppressed the pain in front of his heart, and struggled to open his eyes.
However, the first thing that came into view were his hands. His hands were bright red, as if they had just been taken out of a pool of blood and were about to drip blood in the next breath.
This was all an illusion. Xiao Kai couldn't care less about these things. He used all the strength in his body to move his right hand. He wanted to grab the phone that was right in front of him and call for his assistant to come in and take him to the hospital.
Between life and death, he couldn't care less anymore.
No matter how much money he earned, he still needed to be alive to spend it. Things like not going to the hospital, being poisoned by drugs, being reported by the media, and being despised by the world, were all things that happened in the future. They all happened on the basis that he was still alive.
Dead, everything was gone.
Although moving his fingers forward felt like there was an invisible pair of hands grabbing his heart and tearing it apart, Xiao Kai couldn't care less. He desperately tried to stay conscious and not let himself pass out. At the same time, he tried to reach out and get closer to the phone.
It was one centimeter, one centimeter closer to the phone, as if it was trying to grab onto its last hope.
However, the rustling in his ears was getting louder and louder. It was as if he was at a construction site, and all he could hear was noise.
At the same time, the sound of his heartbeat became softer at some point, until it couldn't be heard anymore.
There was a white light in front of him. It was as if the whole building had disappeared in an instant, but it was also as if a ray of light shone in from another dimension and fell on Xiao Kai. (Note 1)
The white light was so rich that it might be more appropriate to describe it as milky white.
All the worries and sufferings of the past no longer existed. Bathed in this white light, Xiao Kai was a little dazed. He could no longer think. He just instinctively felt that this was not bad.
His whole body felt like it was soaking in warm water. It was warm and comfortable. The fatigue from before was swept away, and all the worries and troubles were gone. He had forgotten to take the phone, ask for help, and go to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Xiao Kai felt as if his whole body was flying as he wandered in the carefree air. The air in the white light was so fresh, so refreshing.
In reality, Xiao Kai, who was sitting in front of the table and reaching out to grab the phone, had red hands. The capillaries at the end of them had expanded to an extremely serious extent. He maintained a strange posture, like a statue.
In just a few seconds, his whole body seemed to have been pulled out of his bones. He turned into a pool of mud and collapsed to the ground.
The carpet was soft and absorbed most of the impact force. Even the sound did not make much noise.
He fell down just like that. The expression on his face was very calm, without a trace of pain.

Xiao Kai's assistant was in the next room. He watched the report on Xiao Kai on the television and felt extremely uneasy. This was a big matter that shook the entire foundation of the meridian patting therapy! He needed to deal with it quickly, the sooner the better.
How should he do crisis public relations? He did not know.
He had encountered similar things in the past, but this time it was completely different. Ever since he came to the Imperial Capital and met Little Zheng, everything that happened had violated his previous worldview and become unfamiliar.
It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands controlling everything, making the public relations that had previously been successful become futile.
It was not until the reporter said that he wanted to do an in-depth report that the assistant picked up his phone hesitantly. He wanted to ask Master Xiao's thoughts and see what he wanted to do.
However, the assistant did not make the call immediately. Master Xiao's temper was not good. In front of the students, he was very gentle. After all, they were all wallets. Only harmony could make money. This was the philosophy that Master Xiao had always adhered to.
After thinking for a full minute, the assistant dialed the phone.
No one answered the phone. The assistant could already imagine Xiao Kai throwing things in a rage. Last time in the British court … No, Master Xiao could not be sick, right?!
The assistant dialed the phone again while looking for the service staff to open the door.
A few minutes later, when the room door was opened, the assistant saw Master Xiao Kai lying on the ground, motionless as if he was dead.
The assistant was stunned as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. It was the service staff who went forward to take a look. The person was still breathing. They called 120 and waited for rescue.
While waiting, he put away the bottle of nitroglycerin on the table.
This thing could not be seen by the reporters. The assistant felt that he was really a smart little guy. He still remembered this kind of thing even now.
