Xu Wenyao was now not only sweating on his face but also on his back. Could he even wipe it off?
"Where's the school doctor? Why hasn't he arrived yet!"
At that moment, Xu Wenyao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
If someone died at the school, once the Ministry of Education commenced their investigation, he, as the principal, would be the primary person held accountable!
Under everyone's anxious gazes, the school doctor, Xie Shan, carrying a medical kit, hurried over.
As Xie Shan ran, he wondered to himself.
Wasn't it said that he would just say a few words later? Had the school added a new role for him at the last minute?
"Please make way, I'm the school doctor."
Xie Shan wore a slight smile, calm and composed.
Joking aside, if the school had given him a new role at the last minute, shouldn't he demonstrate the true temperament of a medical professional?
However, when Xie Shan saw Wu Bin's complexion, the smile on his face immediately stiffened, and he shivered with fright.
The ones present were all sharp-eyed, and seeing Xie Shan's reaction, they immediately sensed something ominous.
Xu Wenyao hurriedly asked, "Old Xie, how is it?"
Xie Shan pried open Wu Bin's eyelids for a close observation and then burst out swearing.
"His pupils are dilated, and you still ask me how he is!"
"What are you all crowding around for, trying to suffocate him? Scatter!"
"Has anyone called 120? Hurry and open the school gates, let the ambulance in!"
At that moment, Xie Shan could no longer maintain his composure.
The man was nearly dead, what composure was there left to maintain!
With that one sentence from Xie Shan, everyone's face changed drastically, and they quickly dispersed.
Pupil dilation!
Dilated pupils are one of the signs of brain death.
If the pupils were fully dilated, then the person was virtually beyond saving.
Yang Kang was completely startled.
All he could think was that it was impossible.
He had just raised his voice a bit, and Wu Bin was scared to death by him?
Xu Wenyao stood to the side, trembling like a sieve.
Initially, he had been looking forward to giving a joyful interview today.
Now that was ruined.
Thinking back to how he had specifically instructed Yang Kang to harshly reprimand Wu Bin, Xu Wenyao's heart filled with terror.
If this matter was handled well, he would merely lose his official position.
If not, he might end up working a sewing machine in prison.
Xu Wenyao pressed his hands together and prayed to all the deities in his mind.
He had never been this devout even when sweeping his ancestors' graves during Qingming!
Please don't die!
Please, don't you die!
All the leaders were very nervous, watching Xie Shan perform CPR on Wu Bin with sweat drenching his forehead.
But two minutes later, Xie Shan stopped.
He took out a flashlight, shone it into Wu Bin's eyes, and then felt Wu Bin's neck with his hand.
He then looked towards Xu Wenyao and shook his head.
Xu Wenyao felt a tightening in his throat as if an invisible hand was choking him.
The air around seemed to solidify.
All the leaders could hardly believe their eyes.
Just over such a trivial matter, a student had died.
Xu Wenyao became completely wooden, his brain seemed to jam, and he was slow to react.
Standing nearby, Yang Kang was also stunned, his expression mirroring Xu Wenyao's.
How they wished this was Wu Bin playing a joke on them.
But it was not.
It was over.
Everything was over.
"Principal Xu, let's have the students who gathered watching go back to their dormitories first," said the vice-principal.
"Oh, okay."
Xu Wenyao nodded dumbly.
The vice principal sighed, knowing Xu Wenyao was already panicking at this time.
The vice principal said to the other instructors, "Have the students all stay in their dormitories for now."
"Tell them not to run around, not to leave the school, and not to spread rumors everywhere."
The students were suddenly asked to return to their dormitories, and many were unclear about what had happened.
However, some informed students immediately started discussing it in the campus group chat.
"It seems someone fainted in the boys' dorm, right?"
"It was Wu Bin from finance class two, he collapsed clutching his chest, looked like a heart attack."
"He's already dead, the school doctor Xie attempted CPR for two minutes, but he couldn't be revived."
"Ah? What's going on, how can you get sick just staying in the dorm?"
"I heard he was shouted to death by the instructor Yang Kang, too outrageous."
"Now the instructor and the principal are in deep trouble, it might end up getting them into prison."
Although the line was disbanded, the students were still buzzing with gossip, and many took out their phones, refused to go back to their dorms, and kept filming.
Xu Wenyao knew this thing certainly couldn't be kept secret.
The television crew was still broadcasting live.
The news of Wu Bin dying from fright while eating hotpot in the dormitory would probably go viral on the internet very soon.
"Principal, the ambulance is here."
Xu Wenyao nodded and didn't want to say a word.
Given Wu Bin's current condition, taking him to the hospital was a waste of time—it would be better to take him straight to the funeral home.
Just as Xu Wenyao was thinking this, Wu Bin suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath!
Everyone was startled.
Xu Wenyao was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Wu Bin gave an awkward yet polite smile.
"Everyone... are you all here, have you eaten?"
God damn it, have you eaten!
Is this the time to be greeting everyone!
At this moment, Xu Wenyao was trembling with excitement!
If it weren't broad daylight, Xu Wenyao would have thought he had seen a ghost!
Xu Wenyao asked with a trembling voice, "Wu Bin, you... you came back to life?"
Wu Bin squeezed out a smile with difficulty.
"Not dead for the moment, but I can't say I've come back to life."
"I still feel a lot of pain in my heart."
As soon as Wu Bin finished speaking, Xie Shan quickly stepped forward and stuffed a lifesaving pill into Wu Bin's mouth.
"Hang in there, Wu Bin, the doctor will be here any moment!"
As they were speaking, medical personnel in white coats rushed into the dormitory.
They lifted Wu Bin onto the stretcher, and Xu Wenyao didn't think twice before following them.
The emergency doctor stopped him.
"Are you a family member?"
"No, I'm the principal."
The emergency doctor looked at Xu Wenyao suspiciously, doubting his identity.
As a principal, why did he seem more anxious than the kid's father?
What the emergency doctor didn't know was that Wu Bin had already died once moments ago.
So at this moment, all the school leaders were extremely nervous.
Now, Wu Bin was like a living godfather to them, how could they not be nervous?
Others also stepped forward to vouch for Xu Wenyao.
"Right, doctor, he is our Agricultural University's principal, you can find his information online."
The doctor nodded.
"Alright then, get in the vehicle, but make sure the patient's family is also notified soon as they will need to sign any necessary paperwork."
Just as Xu Wenyao gripped the door to get on the vehicle, a weak voice spoke up.
"Let Miss He follow in the vehicle too..."
Wu Bin had just seen He Bingbing's name tag and felt more at ease with a camera on him.
Of course, He Bingbing didn't want to give up such great material for the live broadcast.
In the brief moment Wu Bin had collapsed, the live viewership in the room had already exceeded thirty thousand.
"Okay, we'll follow and film the whole thing."
