"A car accident on Highway 7. His vehicle... it crashed and exploded. There were no survivors. I'm so sorry, Master Chen."
Chen Guowei stood frozen for a long moment, the words not quite penetrating. His eldest son. His heir. The one he'd groomed for decades to take over the family business. Dead?
"How?" His voice was barely above a whisper.
"The police are saying excessive speed, loss of control. The CCTV footage shows... shows Young Master experiencing some kind of medical episode while driving. He was clutching his head, swerving. And then the car went off the road."
"Medical episode? Ting was perfectly healthy! He had a full physical examination just last month!"
"I know, sir. But the footage is clear. Something happened to him while he was driving. The investigation is ongoing, but early indications suggest it was a tragic accident."
Chen Guowei's mind was reeling. "Where was he? Where was he coming from when this happened?"
