72: Chapter 72 One Hundred Million for a Thousand Years of Life?

At this moment.

Wailing sirens approached from afar.

Several police cars sped over.

The doors opened, and over a dozen police officers quickly stepped out.

The Middle-aged Police Officer picked up the fruit knife from the ground, glanced at the five people nearby, and said in a deep voice, "Take them all away!"

"Yes!"

Click, click!

The sound of handcuffs rang out in succession.

The several robbers who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead were instantly panicked.

"Big Brother! Comrade Police Officer! It's a misunderstanding!"

"We were just joking!"

"Right, right, right, we were just messing around!"

"Messing around?"

The Middle-aged Police Officer sneered.

"Holding a knife to commit highway robbery, a group of five people committing a crime, and even forcing someone to sell their lifespan—you're telling me this is just messing around?"

With that one sentence, the few men were instantly silenced.

Soon, the five robbers were hauled up and escorted to the police cars.

Over here, the Middle-aged Police Officer walked up to Chen Fan.

"The nature of this case is quite severe."

"Please come back to the station with me to make a statement."

Upon hearing they had to go to the police station, the three women, including Xu Yuan, became a bit nervous.

Chen Fan, however, had no particular reaction; he knew this was standard procedure and couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

"Alright, I'll cooperate."

Soon, the group got into the cars.

Meanwhile, on the way to the police station with Chen Fan.

In a brightly lit villa complex—one of the top-tier villa areas in all of Jianghai City, where only the wealthy and influential could live.

At this moment, inside a luxurious manor covering several thousand square meters, the butler walked quickly into the main hall.

"President Tang, the funds have all been raised, totaling two hundred million in cash. We can transfer it to the Madam and Miss's accounts at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jianye, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly looked up.

"Good!"

His eyes were full of excitement.

Even his hands were trembling slightly.

Finally, he had gathered it!

Two hundred million!

To raise this money, he had mobilized almost all available liquid funds, and even cashed out several overseas investments early.

The goal was to race against time!

To do it before that bug—if it even was a bug—was fixed!

To buy his wife and daughter's lifespan first!

Thinking of this, Tang Jianye immediately looked at the several staff members in suits in the hall.

"Remember this, everyone!"

"When you make the transfers later, you must follow exactly what I said!"

"For my wife, only transfer one million at a time!"

"For my daughter, only transfer one hundred thousand at a time!"

"Do not make any mistakes!"

The few nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, President Tang, we have all received professional training and guarantee that there will be absolutely no problems!"

Nearby, a gentle and charming middle-aged woman couldn't help but frown and speak up: "Husband..."

"Is buying lifespan... really reliable?"

To be honest, she still felt like she was dreaming.

Not long ago, her husband suddenly rushed home in a frenzy, and the first thing he did was have her download an app called lifespan treasure.

He said it could buy lifespan and even claimed it could rejuvenate her.

She almost thought Tang Jianye had gone crazy.

However...

Under his strong insistence, she bought one year.

It cost one million!

And then...

In just a moment!

She discovered that her body seemed a bit different.

Her chronic periarthritis of the shoulder, which had bothered her for years, seemed to really not hurt as much.

The old ailments in her knees also felt much easier.

Even when looking in the mirror...

She could feel that her skin was a bit more delicate.

Although the changes weren't obvious, they had definitely happened!

It was precisely because of this that she was half-believing and half-doubting.

But now her husband was actually preparing to dump two hundred million into it?!

Claiming it would rejuvenate her and let her live another hundred years?

As for her daughter, he wanted her to live another thousand years?

Anyone hearing this would find it absurd, right?

Tang Jianye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"How is it not reliable?"

"Haven't you already tried it?"

"Can't you feel the changes in your body?"

The middle-aged beauty fell silent.

Seeing his wife wasn't speaking, Tang Jianye pointed at himself.

"Look at me, I bought a year too!"

"You know how big my belly used to be."

"Look at it now, how is it?"

The middle-aged beauty looked instinctively.

Indeed, her husband's originally bloated belly was visibly smaller, and he looked much more energetic overall.

The wrinkles on his face... seemed to have faded a bit too?

Although the changes weren't extremely exaggerated, they were indeed real.

At this moment, a young girl nearby also spoke up excitedly.

"Mom!"

"This app is definitely real!"

"I've been scrolling through so much news these past two days!"

The one speaking was none other than Tang Jianye's daughter, Tang Shanshan.

She was twenty-three and had just graduated from college.

At this moment, her small face was flushed with excitement.

Although Tang Jianye had also made her download it and buy one year of lifespan, she didn't feel any particularly obvious changes.

After all, she was already young.

But the problem was... the price!

It only cost her one hundred thousand for one year of lifespan!

One hundred thousand for a year?

That meant one million would be ten years!

One hundred million... wouldn't that be a full thousand years?!

Just thinking about it made Tang Shanshan's breathing become rapid.

A thousand years!

What kind of concept was that?

When everyone else had turned to ash, she would still be alive?

Wasn't that immortality?

And by then, what would the world be like?

Flying cars?

Interstellar travel?

Maybe even human migration to other planets?

Thinking of these things, she was so excited that her scalp tingled.

At this moment, she was even a little glad.

Fortunately, her parents had been strict with her since she was young and hadn't given her too much pocket money.

Otherwise, like her father, having to spend over a hundred million for just one year?

She would probably only be able to watch from the sidelines with envy!

Tang Shanshan looked at her father, her face full of anticipation.

"Dad!"

"When do we start buying?"

"I can't wait!"

Hearing this, Tang Jianye couldn't help but smile.

"What's the rush?"

"The money is all ready, are you afraid it'll run away?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look to the side.

A staff member immediately spoke up.

"President Tang, we are ready on our end too!"

"We can start at any time!"

Tang Jianye nodded, his expression turning a bit more serious.

"Remember, no one should rush."

"Whether it's transferring money or buying lifespan, everything must go according to plan."

"If there's any delay or anything, call a stop immediately."

"You have to know that the price of lifespan treasure changes!"

"If it happens to go up a tier, it'll be troublesome."

Once these words were spoken, everyone nodded in succession.

Even Tang Shanshan was no exception.

"Don't worry, don't worry! I definitely won't click randomly!"

At this moment, her finger was already hovering over [Purchase lifespan].

Nearby, the middle-aged beauty also took a deep breath.

Then, she silently picked up her phone.

She opened lifespan treasure.

The black and gold hourglass was slowly rotating.

Her eyes gradually became serious as well.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were both ready, Tang Jianye slowly exhaled, then said in a deep voice, "Everything is ready, so let's begin."
