52: Chapter 52 Immortality is unthinkable, but rejuvenation is possible...

Meanwhile, inside the office at Wanshan Medical.

Police Officer Xiao Jiang closed his notebook and stood up from the sofa.

He had basically asked everything he needed to during this visit.

However, before leaving, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"The three of you, although we currently cannot confirm the specific source of this software, you still need to be vigilant."

"Do not easily trust various news on the internet, and even more so, do not engage in transactions lightly. Beware of being deceived."

Zhou Zihao stood nearby and nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Understood, understood, we will definitely be careful."

However, while he agreed readily with his mouth, he couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

Deceived?

My dad is a living example!

Just a while ago, he looked like he had one foot in the grave, and today he can already drive to work himself.

Whether this is a scam or not, how could he not know?

Of course, Zhou Zihao could only think these things to himself.

If he actually said it out loud, that would be absolutely impossible.

Zhou Wanshan and Liu Yong also exchanged glances.

Their expressions were similarly somewhat strange.

However, they kept nodding in agreement and very politely saw the police officers out of the company.

It wasn't until the police car slowly drove away that the few of them returned to the office.

Once the door was closed, Liu Yong finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"It seems the higher-ups truly attach great importance to the lifespan treasure."

Zhou Wanshan gave a bitter smile.

"Nonsense, if you were sitting in that position, could you not take it seriously?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his temples.

His expression was rarely solemn.

"Lifespan trading."

"These four words, in any era, would be considered miraculous feats."

"Yet now, it has appeared openly on the internet."

"Let alone the police, anyone would lose sleep over this."

Liu Yong nodded.

He agreed with this point completely.

In the past, people always said that money couldn't buy lifespan.

But the lifespan treasure trampled that statement into the ground.

Money.

It really can trade for life.

And it's clearly priced.

This is simply challenging everyone's perception.

Thinking of this, Liu Yong suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, I suddenly thought of a question. Do you think... for people like us who possess the lifespan treasure, won't we be able to live forever in the future?"

As soon as these words were out, Zhou Zihao also perked up.

"That's right!"

"If we keep buying lifespan, won't we be unable to die?"

Zhou Wanshan heard this and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Theoretically, there really is that possibility."

Both of them sat up straight instantly, and Zhou Wanshan continued his analysis.

"Although the price of the lifespan treasure is outrageous, it has a pattern."

"The higher the assets, the more expensive it is to buy life."

"If a person can always control their total assets within a certain range, buying lifespan immediately after earning money, ensuring they don't break through to the next pricing bracket, then theoretically, one could indeed keep buying it forever."

The more Liu Yong listened, the more excited he became, "Isn't that eternal life?"

Zhou Wanshan, however, shook his head, "The problem is..."

"You have to keep earning money, and you cannot go bankrupt. Otherwise, once the capital chain breaks and the lifespan cannot be renewed, you will die when you are supposed to."

The office fell silent again.

A moment later, Zhou Zihao quietly blurted out a sentence.

"So that means..."

"Immortality is attained."

"But it seems to have turned into working for a lifetime?"

Liu Yong was stunned.

Zhou Wanshan was also stunned.

Then the three of them looked at each other.

A few seconds later, they laughed out loud simultaneously.

It seems that really is the case?

In the past, people worked hard to earn money to buy houses and cars and live a better life. In the future, working hard to earn money will be to extend life.

In essence... there isn't really any difference.

It's just that the ultimate goal has changed from financial freedom to life freedom.

After laughing, Liu Yong suddenly stood up and picked up his jacket.

"Alright, I'll be leaving first."

Zhou Wanshan looked up, "In such a rush?"

Liu Yong nodded noncommittally, "Of course I'm in a rush!"

"Buying lifespan makes a person become young again."

"I'm already over fifty this year. I don't dare to think about immortality, but rejuvenation... I can still look forward to that."

"If I could really return to the state I was in at eighteen..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yong rubbed his hands together in excitement.

"Who could handle this? Anyway, I can't. So I'm going back now to arrange the funds, and I'll buy a few years first to test the effect!"

After speaking, Liu Yong left the office laughing heartily.

The door closed, and the office became quiet again.

Zhou Wanshan watched his back and couldn't help but smile.

However, he also had some expectations for this idea.

Thinking and thinking...

Zhou Wanshan seemed to suddenly think of something, and his whole body gradually sat up straight.

Zhou Zihao was stunned, "What's wrong, Dad?"

Zhou Wanshan didn't answer.

Instead, he picked up his phone directly and pulled up a number.

Tang Jianye!

Since he had inexplicably obtained three invitation codes.

What about Tang Jianye?

Could the other party have them too?

Thinking of this, he immediately dialed the number.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside a high-end private restaurant with extremely high privacy.

At the head seat of the private room.

Tang Jianye looked relaxed and radiant.

He looked full of energy.

And the middle-aged man sitting opposite him was in a completely different state.

His eyes were sunken, and his face was full of exhaustion.

It was as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days in a row.

This person was named Gu Changyun, and he was the Vice President of Changfeng Group.

He was also the younger brother of the Chairman of Changfeng Group, Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changyun put down his wine glass and sighed heavily, his voice hoarse.

"Old Tang, I'm afraid my brother really won't make it this time."

The private room fell silent.

Gu Changyun rubbed his temples.

The exhaustion on his face could no longer be hidden.

"The hospital has already issued three critical condition notices in a row. Organ failure. At most, it might just be these few days."

Speaking of this, Gu Changyun's eyes turned slightly red.

"Once my brother falls."

"Changfeng Group is basically finished."

"That bunch of old things on the board of directors have already started colluding."

"Those children from the main branch are guarding the hospital room door every day fighting for equity."

"Several major shareholders are also making private contact."

"As soon as my brother is gone, the entire group will immediately fall into chaos."

Tang Jianye listened in silence, feeling equally heavy in his heart.

Gu Changfeng was also his old friend of many years.

More than twenty years ago, when Tang Jianye first started the elderly care industry, during his most difficult time, it was Gu Changfeng who gave him his first round of financing.

Later, acquiring land, expanding, and building elderly care communities.

Changfeng Group supported him all the way.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Without Gu Changfeng, there would be no Tang Jianye today.

Inside the private room.

Silence fell for a moment.

Gu Changyun picked up his wine glass and took another big gulp.

It was as if he wanted to swallow all his worries along with it.

And Tang Jianye was slowly rubbing his teacup.

In his mind.

A number from his contact list involuntarily surfaced.

Chen Fan!

But...

The other party had clearly stated that there was only that one invitation code.

After a long silence.

Tang Jianye finally slowly put down his teacup.

"Changyun."

"What if I said..."

"Your brother might still be saved?"

As soon as these words were out, Gu Changyun's movements came to a sudden halt.

He immediately shook his head and smiled.

"Old Tang, don't joke around."

"My brother now has multiple organ failure."

"The top experts from both home and abroad have all seen him."

"Unless there really is an immortal descending to earth."

"Otherwise..."

Gu Changyun gave a bitter smile and didn't continue.

Tang Jianye didn't explain either.

He just picked up his teacup and looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Changyun."

"When you saw me today."

"Did you not notice any changes in me?"

Gu Changyun was slightly stunned.

Only then did he seriously examine his old friend opposite him.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but upon looking, his brows immediately furrowed.

"That's right..."

"Old Tang, why is your complexion so good today?"

"Did you go for medical aesthetics?"

"This state you're in now, you feel much younger than before?"

The more Gu Changyun looked, the more surprised he felt.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Tang Jianye couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

His laughter was full of suppressed pride.

Then he reached out and pointed at himself.

"You didn't see wrong."

"I have indeed become younger, younger by one year."

Gu Changyun was stunned, "What you said... what does that mean?"

Tang Jianye slowly held up a finger.

The smile at the corner of his mouth grew richer.

"I spent 130 million... to buy one year of lifespan!"
