106: Chapter 106 Shouyuanbao Investigates Corruption?

Meanwhile, in the Donglin Provincial Public Security Department, the largest conference room was already packed with people.

There were representatives from the public security bureaus of various cities in Donglin Province, as well as from several neighboring provinces. These people had all rushed to Donglin Province overnight. At this moment, the entire conference room was filled with over thirty people. The air was quiet, almost oppressively so.

Everyone knew that a meeting bringing together so many key public security personnel from various provinces and cities could not be an ordinary one.

At the front of the conference room, General Lu Zheng put down the file in his hand and scanned the crowd slowly. Zhao Shoucheng, Director Qin Weidong, and the key personnel from the Jianghai City Public Security Bureau responsible for the lifespan treasure cases were all sitting in the front row.

Just a few minutes ago, everyone present had received an invitation code for lifespan treasure. Some were downloading it for the first time, while others had already obtained an invitation code through their own channels. However, at a time like this, naturally, no one would admit it. Everyone tacitly pretended to be encountering it for the first time. General Lu Zheng did not expose this; he simply spoke calmly.

"Everyone." "The special funds urgently allocated by the superiors have arrived. Next, we are preparing to purchase a large quantity of a special item in the lifespan treasure mall!"

He paused after saying this. In the conference room, everyone raised their heads and looked at each other. Special funds? Purchasing a special item from the lifespan treasure mall? Could it be... human serum? Was that why they were called here? Could it be that... as the top leaders of their respective regions, they would get a share too?

General Lu Zheng saw the crowd's reaction and immediately knew they had misunderstood. He didn't explain further, just shook his head and smiled, "Stop guessing. It's an item you wouldn't expect, called... a storage ring!"

A... storage ring? When these three words were spoken, some people couldn't help but gasp. Most were stunned on the spot. Had they misheard?!

"This storage ring..." "It should be the one I'm imagining, right?" "How does lifespan treasure have this?" "Yeah, I was just in the mall, how come I didn't see it?" "It doesn't seem to be in my mall either." "Online... no one seems to have mentioned this, right?" "Could it be a hidden item?" A low murmur of discussion immediately filled the conference room. Especially among the few who had already obtained the invitation code beforehand. The confusion on their faces was even deeper. They had almost thoroughly researched lifespan treasure last night. lifespan trading, various items... they hadn't seen this so-called storage ring at all!

General Lu Zheng stopped there, not intending to provide further explanation, "You will know in a moment." After he spoke, the conference room fell silent. General Lu Zheng didn't speak again either, only glancing down at the watch on his wrist from time to time. Seeing this, the group looked at each other even more. What were they waiting for? Was there someone else who hadn't arrived?

As it turned out, they had guessed correctly. Just as someone was about to ask, bang! The conference room door was suddenly pushed open. Immediately after, a dozen figures walked in quickly. Everyone instinctively turned their heads. The next second, the expressions of many changed slightly. The newcomers were not wearing police uniforms, but their sharp aura made the entire conference room fall silent instantly.

The person leading them came to General Lu Zheng. The two nodded briefly. "Comrade Lu Zheng." "Have all the personnel here downloaded lifespan treasure?" "All completed." General Lu Zheng answered very crisply. The person nodded and then turned around. "Everyone." "Next, we need everyone to cooperate with a routine verification." "Please place your mobile phones on the desktop."

As these words fell, many in the conference room were somewhat confused. Verification? Verification of what? However, everyone present was from the public security system, so they naturally cooperated. One by one, they placed their phones on the table. Only two or three people found their breathing becoming involuntarily rapid. Several staff members began to check one by one. The movements were quick. Open lifespan treasure. Confirm identity. Check assets. Then register. The whole process was very quiet. Until they came to a cadre in his forties or fifties. The Ministry of State Security personnel checking slowly spoke. "Comrade." "Please unlock your phone and open lifespan treasure."

The man suddenly stood up. "I refuse!" Everyone looked at him. The man's face looked rather ugly. "Comrade." "Is checking the phone going a bit too far?" "This belongs to personal privacy." "I believe this has infringed upon my legitimate rights and interests." Once these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent instantly. Everyone's gaze was fixed on him. The leading Ministry of State Security staff member just watched him quietly. "Please cooperate with the inspection." The man remained standing. "I refuse!"

The air instantly solidified. The next second, two more staff members walked in from the door and walked straight toward him. The man's expression changed, "What are you doing..." Before he could finish his sentence, he had already been restrained. Immediately, the phone was taken away. No password? A laptop was plugged in, and it was automatically cracked. The screen lit up, and lifespan treasure was opened directly. The next moment, the entire conference room suddenly fell into a deathly silence. The staff member in charge of the operation stopped. He looked up at the owner of the phone. "Zhou Mingda?"

The middle-aged man slumped down. "...Yes." The staff member nodded, not speaking further, but instead projecting the phone interface directly onto the big screen. Many eyes in the conference room looked over instinctively. The next second, everyone's eyes widened. On the screen, a series of numbers was displayed. [Name: Zhou Mingda.] [Age: 48.] [Assets: 73,186,452 Yuan.] [Remaining Lifespan...]

Gulp! Over seventy million?! The conference room immediately fell silent. Many looked at each other. They finally realized. What they were verifying today was not the phone at all. It was their assets! lifespan treasure... could truly display everyone's assets! At this moment, many finally understood why this meeting was suddenly convened today. lifespan treasure was no longer just an app! It could even become an important tool for anti-corruption and asset recovery?!

A person in charge showed their credentials and said in a deep voice, "Comrade Zhou, please cooperate and come with us." As these words fell, two staff members were already standing behind him. And just as everyone was secretly shocked, on the other side, the staff had already reached another cadre. "Comrade Mo." "Please present your mobile phone."

Procurement Minister's body was obviously a bit stiff. "Wait... wait a second." "My hand is a bit numb." As he said this, he kept rubbing his left hand with his right hand. It looked like he really couldn't exert any strength. But the sweat on his forehead was dripping down drop by drop. The staff member looked at him. "It doesn't matter." "I will help you." Saying this, he reached out directly and took the mobile phone. Procurement Minister's lips moved. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just sighed to himself. He hated himself for not spending all the money last night. As long as he spent it, he would most likely be safe and sound! But... last night, every time he bought a bottle of human serum, his heart would twitch. Because he really couldn't bear to! After all, that money... was all what he had painstakingly and bit by bit embezzled... to spend it all at once, how could he bear it?
