78: Chapter 78 The State Machinery Has Been Moved!

Meanwhile, at Chengnan Police Station.

Although it was already late at night, the entire office building was still brightly lit.

The sounds of telephone ringing, footsteps, and keyboard typing were mixed together, making it look exceptionally busy. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

At this moment, Chen Fan had finally finished his last statement.

"Alright."

The police officer in charge of recording put down his pen and rubbed his sore wrist.

"We have already understood the course of events. These five people are guilty of armed robbery and gang-related crimes, and the nature of the offense is extremely severe. If we need anything further, we may contact you to supplement the information."

Chen Fan nodded, "Understood."

The police officer stood up and took the initiative to reach out his hand.

"Thanks to you tonight, if you hadn't taken action in time, who knows how many more people would have been persecuted by them in the future."

Chen Fan smiled, "Just a small effort."

Hearing this, the corner of the police officer's mouth twitched slightly.

One person taking down five armed robbers, and this is called a small effort?

However, he ultimately didn't ask more questions; everyone has their own privacy.

Especially this young man in front of him.

They had previously specifically investigated Chen Fan because of the invitation code issue, and it was even handled by Captain Zhao personally.

As a result, after working for a long time, they found nothing.

Upon returning, Captain Zhao only said one sentence.

This person is not simple.

Now it seems... that is indeed the case.

Especially with the news that just came from another group of colleagues.

Those robbers were almost crying in the police car, insisting that Chen Fan could teleport, flash, and even move through the void...

It made the escorting police officers think they had collectively taken something they shouldn't have, causing hallucinations.

"Alright, it's getting late."

The police officer smiled, "You can go back now, take care on the road."

"Okay."

Chen Fan stood up, preparing to leave.

But just at this moment, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding!]

[You have a sum of earnings waiting to be collected.]

[User 056: Purchased storage ring × 1.]

[Earnings obtained: 49,500,000 Yuan.]

Chen Fan's footsteps stopped abruptly.

A storage ring?

It sold?

He was slightly stunned.

Immediately after, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

The official speed... is really fast.

From the time he listed the storage ring until now, how long has it been?

One hour? Or two hours?

And yet the storage ring has already been bought.

There's no need to guess who the buyer is; it's clear at a glance.

Besides the government, who else could come up with 100 million in such a short time?

Zhao Shoucheng?

If he could come up with 100 million, then things would be a big deal.

As if thinking of something interesting, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile.

It seems the government has also been paying attention to the lifespan treasure.

And, they value it even more than he imagined.

Otherwise, the reaction speed couldn't possibly be this fast.

After all, you have to know, that is 100 million!

Under normal procedures, from applying for funds, to approval, and then to disbursement, it would take at least a few months.

Ninety days? One hundred and twenty days? That would be considered fast!

And now it only took one or two hours!

This is no longer just valuing it. It is highly valuing it!

Even... Chen Fan suspected that the moment the mall function appeared on the lifespan treasure, the state machine had already started running.

Because the significance brought by the storage ring is no less than that of the lifespan treasure.

Even in some aspects, it is even more terrifying.

Space storage means that logistics, military, resource transportation, strategic deployment, etc., will all undergo subversive changes.

Coupled with lifespan trading, immortality, the extraordinary, social order, economic systems, and even the future direction of the entire human civilization.

Any one of these, if brought out, would be enough to cause a national shock.

Let alone all of them coming together.

"This is for the best."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

He had always been waiting for the government's reaction.

Now it seems, the government did not disappoint him.

Then...

Chen Fan suddenly made a decision.

He would give them one day to research.

After all, the national think tank is not to be trifled with.

They consider problems far more comprehensively than an ordinary person like him.

One day is enough for them to come up with a preliminary response plan.

And after one day... it will be open to all users!

And by then, the selling price of the storage ring will not be 100 million.

After all, he just sold it to the government for research at a bargain price.

He just wanted to use this to remind the government... be faster, be even faster.

Putting aside his thoughts, Chen Fan took a look at the balance in the system.

49,500,000!

He wasn't in a hurry to withdraw it, it wouldn't run away anyway.

He could wait until he got back to the hotel to deal with that.

Chen Fan stepped outside.

Arriving at the lobby, however, just as he reached the door, suddenly, a sound of car engines came.

Vroom!

Vroom!

Immediately after, several black sedans quickly drove into the police station courtyard.

Tires rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

The car doors opened almost simultaneously.

One figure after another stepped out.

Chen Fan's footsteps paused slightly, and he looked over subconsciously.

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.

Soldiers, police, these were still normal.

Apart from this, there were a few middle-aged men in plain clothes.

But the aura on them was more astonishing than the next.

One of them had two gold stars on his shoulder.

Another had an ID card hanging on his chest.

On the ID card, there were only two words: State Security.

As for the remaining few, although Chen Fan couldn't tell their identities, just by their aura, he knew they were definitely big shots.

And their positions were higher than one another.

After the few people got out of the car, they didn't even stop.

They walked quickly toward the office building.

Their expressions were serious, and their steps were hurried.

As if there was some extremely urgent matter.

"Such a big scene?"

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.

But on second thought, it was normal.

After all, for the lifespan treasure, you just need an invitation code.

But the storage ring... is one of a kind!

It would be strange if the government didn't react.

Never mind several departments acting together, even if the entire state machine was fully operational, it wouldn't be excessive at all.

Even... the people in front of him were probably just the first batch.

Later, more people would arrive.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but nod secretly.

It really should be like this.

Because the appearance of the storage ring is no longer a simple technological breakthrough.

But... the beginning of a new era.

Something enough to change the world landscape.

At this time, Zhao Shoucheng happened to be walking quickly from outside the courtyard.

Seeing Chen Fan, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Chen Fan?"

Why was Chen Fan at the police station so late?

However, the situation was urgent.

Zhao Shoucheng couldn't bother to ask more for the moment, just nodded at Chen Fan, and then walked quickly toward the office building.

Chen Fan also nodded in response, then withdrew his gaze.

He turned around and walked out of the police station.
