Chapter 257 A Visit From Great Figures
"Wang Chao, your handwriting is beautiful," Yang Mi admired as she watched Wang Chao write.
The character for "dragon" was written with a powerful and majestic stroke, exuding a formidable aura. Every stroke seemed to contain a terrifying force, as if a real dragon were about to burst out of the paper, leaving people awe-struck.
This calligraphy skill could easily outshine many calligraphers.
Moreover, Wang Chao didn't use a pen but wrote with his finger. It showed his profound accomplishment in calligraphy.
"I used to write for fun when I had free time," Wang Chao replied modestly.
When practicing profound skills, one must be focused and fully concentrated. When he first started learning, there were many times when he couldn't concentrate and would become distracted with random thoughts whenever he closed his eyes.
At that time, his master advised him to practice calligraphy, read Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, and copy them meticulously, as a way to cultivate his character and inner peace.
Through years of practice, his mind gradually calmed down, allowing him to practice without distraction. As a result, he developed exceptional calligraphy skills.
After Wang Chao finished drawing the spiritual symbols around the dragon character, he stopped and pressed his finger to stop the bleeding. Then, he dried the dragon talisman and folded it into a peculiar shape before placing it in Liu Shishi's hand.
"This dragon talisman must be kept close to you at all times. Don't even take it off when you shower," Wang Chao instructed.
"With this talisman, no evil spirits can come within ten meters of you."
"Ten meters?" Liu Shishi exclaimed in delight.
If that were true, she would finally be able to have a peaceful sleep.
"The dragon rules over thunder and lightning, making it the nemesis of almost all evil spirits. This dragon talisman serves that purpose," Wang Chao explained.
"Thank you so much. How much does it cost? I'll pay you," Liu Shishi said gratefully, quickly securing the dragon talisman.
"You're a friend of Mimi's, so I won't take your money," Wang Chao replied.
Liu Shishi thanked him again and then looked at Yang Mi, saying, "Mimi, your friend is really kind."
"Of course," Yang Mi smiled brightly.
Wang Chao turned to Yang Mi and said, "Please don't post this on Weibo. I don't want to attract attention."
Yang Mi stuck out her tongue, made a face, and replied, "Okay."
"Now that the matter is resolved, I have to go to work. Thank you for the meal," Wang Chao said calmly.
After speaking, he opened the door and left.
Once Wang Chao was gone, Liu Shishi carefully examined the dragon talisman and asked Yang Mi, "Mimi, do you think this thing is really so miraculous?"
Yang Mi proudly showed off her protective jade charm and said, "This gem was given to me by Brother Wang. You experienced its magic last night, didn't you?"
Liu Shishi looked at Yang Mi's protective charm, then at the dragon talisman. Suddenly, she felt confident and immediately kept the dragon talisman close to her.
Last night, they encountered evil spirits and were frightened to death. They were almost harmed, but the protective charm suddenly emitted a radiant light, injuring and repelling the evil spirits. It saved them from disaster.
Both the talisman and the charm were created by Wang Chao, so they must be effective.
After Liu Shishi safely tucked away the dragon talisman, she couldn't help but envy Yang Mi as she said, "Mimi, your circle of friends is really impressive. It's great to have such powerful friends by your side."
Suddenly, Liu Shishi remembered what Wang Chao had said earlier. She widened her eyes and looked at Yang Mi in disbelief. She asked, "He mentioned Weibo earlier. Could it be... the person in the official announcement photo on your Weibo is him?"
Yang Mi chuckled and replied, "Impressive, my bestie. You guessed it right. It's him. So, what do you think? Handsome, right?"
Liu Shishi sincerely said, "Very handsome! You have a good eye, and it's clear that he is talented."
Yang Mi became even more proud and smiled, saying, "The reason I'm here shooting this movie is to find him. This time, I'll definitely capture his heart!"
"Congratulations on finding your true love," Liu Shishi congratulated.
However, for some reason, there was a slight hint of sourness in her heart as she said the words. At the same time, her face turned slightly flushed.
Especially when she thought about how she had undone her clothes and exposed her most beautiful scenery to Wang Chao earlier, her heart pounded even harder.
It was the first time she had shown those intimate parts to a man, and the first time a man had touched and caressed her tattoos in that way.
If it were any other man, it would be fine, but it had to be her best friend's crush. It made her feel like she was intruding as a third party in their feelings.
If Wang Chao and Yang Mi were to get married in the future, she didn't know how she would face the two of them.
Yang Mi didn't notice Liu Shishi's awkward and flushed expression. With a fiery gaze, she looked at Wang Chao's departing figure and said, "This time, I won't let him slip away!"
When Wang Chao arrived at Danfeng Group, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, as a department head, he didn't have to clock in; otherwise, his salary would be deducted.
After assigning tasks to Little Wang, Wang Hongyao, and others, he returned to his office and continued studying the mathematics training manual.
At that moment, a phone call came in. Wang Chao glanced down and saw that it was Xue Yiyi calling.
He answered the call, "What's up?"
"Wang Chao, you moved?" Xue Yiyi's voice was filled with doubt.
After Wang Chao offended Duan Wuya last time, she had deliberately kept her distance from him and avoided too much contact.
Later, when she saw Wang Chao's stocks and funds soaring, she didn't want to miss out on such a potential investment, so she decided to apologize to Wang Chao in person.
However, when she arrived at his old place, she found that Wang Chao had moved.
After much contemplation, she mustered up the courage to call Wang Chao.
"Yes," Wang Chao replied.
He didn't have any deep feelings for Xue Yiyi, and he knew she was a superficial woman.
However, they were just ordinary classmates, and there was a bit of friendship between them. He didn't want to make things awkward.
"Why didn't you tell me that you moved?" Xue Yiyi asked.
Wang Chao found it a bit amusing. They were only regular classmates, and they hadn't reached a level of intimacy where he had to inform her about moving.
Wasn't that being overly presumptuous?
He didn't expose Xue Yiyi's thoughts and calmly replied, "There was an issue, so I moved out temporarily. Is there something you need?"
Xue Yiyi seemed to understand that she couldn't dwell on this matter and quickly changed the topic, saying, "Wang Chao, I know you're wealthy, but Duan Wuya's power can't be countered just with money. His background is too terrifying, and we can't afford to provoke him."
"I know," Wang Chao replied nonchalantly.
In his eyes, there was no one he couldn't handle.
Upon hearing Wang Chao's response, Xue Yiyi immediately realized that he wasn't too concerned about this matter. She furrowed her brows slightly and suggested, "How about this? I'm somewhat familiar with Duan Wuya. I can organize a dinner gathering for you to make amends with him?"
Xue Yiyi had thought it through.
Although Wang Chao was wealthy, Duan Wuya currently held a significant position in the War Department, and his father wielded considerable power.
If Duan Wuya truly wanted to deal with Wang Chao, he only needed to give the order, and the experts from the War Department would easily take him down.
Having developed feelings for Wang Chao, Xue Yiyi didn't want to see him targeted, so she wanted to arrange a dinner to help them reconcile their differences.
"Thanks for the kind gesture, but it's unnecessary. We're not on the same path," Wang Chao replied calmly.
"Wang Chao, don't be stubborn. Duan Wuya has already made threats in the class group chat. His father is a high-ranking official in the War Department. Once his father intervenes, the consequences will be unimaginable," Xue Yiyi hurriedly warned.
"No need, he's just a mere Duan Wuya. I don't even consider him a threat. Anyway, I have something to attend to. I'll hang up now."
Wang Chao thanked her and declined before ending the call.
On the other end of the line, Xue Yiyi stared at her disconnected phone with a displeased expression. "You, Wang Chao, I was thinking of your well-being, but you're not grateful!"
She stomped her feet in frustration, feeling particularly uncomfortable in her heart.
As a woman, it was the first time she had mustered the courage to do something for someone, only to be met with ingratitude from Wang Chao, making her feel humiliated.
"If you're not grateful, then so be it. Don't come asking for my help when you're crushed by Duan Wuya," Xue Yiyi thought angrily.
In her view, Wang Chao had offended Duan Wuya and was also involved with Song Henian, one of the Four Great Kings. It was evident that he had also offended Cui Hong, another powerful figure.
If these two influential individuals joined forces, they could easily overpower Wang Chao.
By that time, Wang Chao would be living a miserable life, and he would surely come seeking her help.
Danfeng Group, Security Department, Minister's Office.
After ending the call, Wang Chao continued writing in his training manual.
At that moment, Little Wang rushed in, looking panicked and flustered. "Brother Wang, something bad has happened!"
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?" Wang Chao furrowed his brow.
With an expression of fear in his eyes, Little Wang said, "The War Department's vehicle has arrived. It seems like a high-ranking official is coming, possibly to see you."
Before Little Wang could finish speaking, a security guard named Zhang Dong also rushed in, also in a panicked state. "Minister, it's not good! The Northern Army's convoy has arrived too. It seems like War God Dong Fangwang is coming."
Behind him, Wang Hongyao, with a terrified expression, also ran over. "Minister, it's bad! The Twin Guns of Tongming have arrived. Once these two brothers show up, bloodshed is inevitable."
The three of them were terrified, with sweat pouring down their foreheads, as if they had encountered the most horrifying thing in the world. They were completely distraught and panicked.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao removed his hands from the keyboard and paused. He spoke in a deep voice, "It's just a few people. What's there to be so startled about?"
"With your demeanor, making such a fuss, what kind of impression do you think you're giving?" he continued.
"If other companies see you behaving like this, won't it bring disgrace to Danfeng Group?"
Just a few people?
Zhang Dong, Little Wang, and Wang Hongyao looked at each other, still trembling with fear.
These people were all prominent figures in Canton City!
Setting aside Hao Feng and Dong Fangwang, even the Twin Guns of Tongming, this pair of twin brothers, were formidable characters whom few in Canton City dared to provoke.
They had seamless cooperation and uncanny coordination. Anyone who opposed them would be killed without exception.
In Canton City, they were known as the Grim Reapers!
These individuals possessed truly terrifying strength, far beyond what these small security guards could contend with.
Now that so many of them had arrived together, it was evident that trouble was brewing.
If a fight broke out, wouldn't they be risking their lives?
That's why they were terrified.
But what shocked them was that Wang Chao didn't seem to care about those people at all.
Wang Chao saved the files, shut down his computer, and calmly said, "Don't panic, stay calm. They are here to find me."
"Brother Wang, are they here to cause trouble for you?" Zhang Dong asked nervously.
"What do you think?" Wang Chao replied with a question.
Zhang Dong was left speechless.
"Hahaha, Wang Divine Doctor, it's a pleasant surprise to find you working here," Canton War Department's Deputy Commander Hao Feng walked over, laughing heartily as he bypassed the others and approached Wang Chao. He shook hands with Wang Chao warmly and enthusiastically.
"Mr. Hao," Wang Chao responded calmly.
"Wang Divine Doctor, long time no see," Dong Fangwang uttered with a smile as he walked in, radiating warmth.
"Wang Divine Doctor," Xiahou Ming brothers also came in, looking at Wang Chao with great respect and fiery eyes.
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhang Dong, Little Wang, and Wang Hongyao were all dumbfounded.
These people were unexpectedly so warm towards Wang Chao, and there was even a hint of flattery in their enthusiasm.
What was going on?
And wasn't Wang Chao the captain of the security team? When did he become a divine doctor?
Countless questions swirled in their minds, leaving them utterly puzzled.
"Little Wang, make a pot of tea for me. After that, you can go on patrol and close the door. I have something to discuss with these gentlemen," Wang Chao said.
Only then did Little Wang snap out of his daze and quickly responded. He started brewing the tea.
Zhang Dong and Wang Hongyao also immediately realized the situation and hurriedly left to go on patrol.
Whatever business those people had with Wang Chao, it was not something they could intervene in.
Once Little Wang finished brewing the tea and served it to each of the prominent figures, he also left and closed the door of the security department.
"WTF, Brother Wang is amazing!"
"Even the commander of the War Department treats our Brother Wang with such respect. Our security department has gained a divine figure!"
"If we follow Brother Wang, we might reach the pinnacle of life."
"Yes, Brother Wang is incredible!"
Outside, they gathered together, their eyes filled with admiration, discussing excitedly.
Whenever Wang Chao was mentioned, their eyes were full of respect and admiration.
Inside the office of the Chief of the Security Department, Wang Chao smiled and said, "Please have some tea, gentlemen."
Xiahou Ming brothers, Hao Feng, and Dong Fangwang didn't hesitate and picked up their teacups to drink.
After finishing the tea, Dong Fangwang looked at Wang Chao with a fiery gaze and said, "Wang Divine Doctor, can you help me with the matter you mentioned last night?"
Xiahou Ming brothers and Hao Feng also immediately looked over, their eyes equally intense.
They all knew that Wang Chao possessed strong abilities and extraordinary medical skills, and they deeply admired him.
Moreover, they were all suffering from hidden illnesses in their bodies and didn't want to endure the pain any longer.
That's why they came to find Wang Chao today, hoping for a quick treatment of their conditions.
"I promised you last night, and I won't go back on my word," Wang Chao said, taking out the gold and silver needles he carried with him and placing them on the table.
Next, he proceeded to treat each of the four individuals.
Under his acupuncture techniques and the infusion of his profound Genius Qi, the hidden illnesses in their bodies markedly improved.
Xiahou Ming's spine and nerves experienced great improvement.
Dong Fangwang's liver was also halfway healed.
Hao Feng's condition improved the most visibly.
It was now noon, with abundant Yang energy. Before the treatment, his internal organs felt as if they're being burned by flames.
However, after Wang Chao's acupuncture treatment, he felt as if a cool, refreshing water had covered his fiery internal organs, bringing a sense of icy reprieve throughout his body.
At this moment, their admiration and gratitude towards Wang Chao deepened as they looked at him.
Zhao Donghe was right—Wang Chao truly possessed miraculous medical skills!
After putting away the gold and silver needles, Wang Chao said, "Lord Dongfang, come back tomorrow, and you'll be fully healed."
"Brother Xiahou, you'll need to come three times to resolve the issue."
Pausing for a moment, he turned to Hao Feng and asked, "Lord Hao, the son of the Canton War Department's five-star general is named Duan Wuya. Do you know who that general is?"
