53: Chapter 53 Please show me the way!

Inside the private room.

As Tang Jianye finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Gu Changyun was stunned for a full three seconds, then suddenly laughed.

But that smile looked somewhat forced no matter how one looked at it.

"Old Tang."

"Are you drunk?"

"lifespan, can it actually be bought and sold?"

"What's going on?"

"Did they develop some new drug abroad?"

"Or did you inject some kind of embryonic stem cells or something?"

As a business tycoon with a net worth of over a hundred million, the top-tier medical resources Gu Changyun had been exposed to far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Anti-aging injections, gene repair, cell regeneration, even replacing body parts—he had seen plenty of these over the years.

But even so, no one dared to claim they could make someone return to their youth.

Tang Jianye shook his head.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

His expression became serious as never before.

"Everything you mentioned..."

"Compared to what I'm talking about, it's not even worth mentioning."

Seeing Tang Jianye so serious, Gu Changyun was slightly taken aback.

Tang Jianye thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Changyun, have you heard of lifespan treasure recently?"

"lifespan treasure?"

Gu Changyun was stunned, then shook his head.

Recently, all his energy had been focused on the hospital and the group, with less than four hours of sleep every day.

How could he have the heart to pay attention to external news?

But...

lifespan treasure?

lifespan?

Gu Changyun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

An indescribable premonition emerged without warning.

"Old Tang."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Tang Jianye didn't beat around the bush anymore and got straight to the point.

"The literal meaning!"

"This lifespan treasure is an app where you can buy and sell lifespan!"

"And I bought lifespan on it!"

"So the changes you see are all real."

As the words fell, Gu Changyun froze in place.

Buying lifespan?

Can lifespan really be bought?

At this moment, he even doubted if he had heard wrong.

If it were someone else.

He would have gotten up and left long ago.

But the person saying this happened to be Tang Jianye.

They had known each other for over twenty years; he knew Tang Jianye too well.

He would never joke about such things.

Watching Gu Changyun's dazed appearance, Tang Jianye smiled.

"Does it sound ridiculous? Hehe, to tell you the truth, actually, before yesterday, I thought so too."

As he said this, he picked up his teacup and took a sip, then suddenly asked:

"You should know Zhou Wanshan, right?"

"Zhou Wanshan? The President Zhou from Wanshan Medical?"

"That's right." Tang Jianye nodded.

Gu Changyun frowned, "I've heard a little about it. I heard he was diagnosed with lung wither disease last year, and over this past year, he's almost emptied out his family fortune."

"He ran to hospitals all over the country and even hired foreign experts, but it was all useless. A while ago, people were saying he was already on his deathbed."

Speaking of this, Gu Changyun suddenly paused.

Nothing else, just because...

An extremely absurd thought suddenly popped into his mind!

He slowly raised his head, his eyes widening bit by bit.

"Wait..."

"Old Tang, you don't mean..."

Tang Jianye looked at him and nodded slowly.

"That's right, Zhou Wanshan has recovered."

"Completely recovered."

Boom!

Gu Changyun's head buzzed.

A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

"Recovered?!"

"lung wither disease is cured?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Tang Jianye said calmly: "Because he also bought one year of lifespan."

"...Gulp..."

Gu Changyun opened his mouth, but found he couldn't say a single word. In the end, he could only swallow hard.

For a time, the private room became so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

After several seconds, Gu Changyun finally spoke with difficulty.

"Old Tang..."

"Are you sure you aren't pulling my leg?"

Tang Jianye smiled and shook his head.

"What point would there be in me lying to you about this?"

"The internet is already in an uproar; check it yourself and you'll know."

Gu Changyun grabbed his phone almost as if snatching it.

Soon, the search page popped up.

Without thinking, he searched directly: lifespan treasure!

The next second, a large amount of news came into view.

"Shocking! An eighteen-year-old youth, after selling fifty-one years of lifespan on lifespan treasure, turned into an eighty-year-old man overnight!"

"Supernatural incident at a 4S shop in Jianghai City: A young man sold twenty years of lifespan in a row, body aging in public!"

"Municipal Public Security Bureau issues emergency notice: Reminding citizens to guard against the 'lifespan treasure' illegal app..."

Gu Changyun clicked on one video after another.

The more he watched, the faster his breathing became.

In the videos.

The old man lying on the hospital bed had loose skin and deep wrinkles.

But his body was that of a youth!

And the one at the 4S shop, the comparison of his appearance before and after.

That visual impact was far more shocking than any text description!

The most critical part is!

The police issued a risk warning!

But they didn't debunk it, didn't deny it, and certainly didn't explain it!

Who was Gu Changyun?

Vice President of Changfeng Group.

He knew this kind of official phrasing too well.

Not debunking it was an attitude in itself.

It meant that even the authorities couldn't deny its authenticity?

Thinking of this, Gu Changyun's heart began to beat wildly.

"So..."

"lifespan trading is real?"

Tang Jianye nodded, "At least for now, it appears to be real."

Gu Changyun's breathing became suddenly rapid.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

Since lifespan could be bought and sold.

Then could his brother be saved?

But soon, when he continued scrolling down.

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

No download link!

No official website!

Cannot be obtained actively!

The only two ways to obtain it...

Besides good luck arriving and passive installation.

It could only be done through an invitation code.

Gu Changyun was stunned.

invitation code?

He continued scrolling down.

But the comment section was full of people begging for invitation codes.

Some offered three thousand, some offered ten thousand.

Some were even willing to sell a year of their lifespan as a commission.

But still, no one could produce one.

Hope had just been ignited.

In the blink of an eye, it was extinguished by reality.

Gu Changyun's eyes were slightly red.

As if suddenly thinking of something.

He, like someone grasping at the last straw, suddenly stood up, picked up the wine bottle, and personally filled Tang Jianye's glass.

"Old Tang..."

"No!"

"Brother Tang!"

"President Tang! I toast you."

"My Gu family is now at the edge of a cliff."

"Changfeng Group cannot be without my brother."

"Just as the West cannot be without Jerusalem."

"I know you definitely wouldn't tell me all this for no reason. If you have a way, please point me in the right direction."

Gu Changyun's voice was trembling.

At this moment, face and status were completely forgotten.

As long as he could save Gu Changfeng, he would even kneel.

Tang Jianye looked at him, feeling a bitter smile in his heart.

A way?

Where would he have a way?

He didn't even have an invitation code himself.

As for Chen Fan...

He still hadn't figured out how to repay the favor he owed him.

How could he have the nerve to ask again?

Shaking his head, Tang Jianye was just about to explain.

However, at this moment, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Buzz-buzz—

The ringtone was exceptionally clear in the private room.

Tang Jianye looked down.

Caller ID.

Zhou Wanshan.

"This Old Zhou..."

Tang Jianye was a bit surprised.

Then he waved his hand at Gu Changyun.

"Let me answer this call first."

Gu Changyun nodded quickly.

Standing to the side without a word.

Fearing he might disturb him.

The call connected, and Tang Jianye just put the phone to his ear.

The next second.

Zhou Wanshan's voice, excited to the point of near incoherence, exploded out.

"Old Tang!"

"Quick!"

"Check your lifespan treasure right now!"

"See if there's anything new in it!"

Tang Jianye was stunned, "What do you mean?"

On the other end of the line, Zhou Wanshan's voice was trembling with excitement.

"invitation code!"

"I opened the app today and found that my account suddenly had invitation codes for no reason, and there were three of them!"

"Check quickly, do you have them too?!"
