The year 2024 passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a new year. The harsh winter passed, and the beginning of spring, when all things recovered, also came quietly.
Today's global warming phenomenon was very serious. The global temperature had risen by one or two degrees compared to previous years. It was not just the South, even Handu, which was located in the middle of the Mainland, had not seen snowflakes for a long time.
However, it was different this year. At the beginning of the new year, tiny snowflakes were falling from the sky above Handu.
These tiny snowflakes were mixed with cold rainwater, but they melted as soon as they touched the ground. It was as if this world had been abandoned by the gods, and even the snowflakes were unwilling to stay.
At this time, Chen Chen had already packed the luggage for his parents and grandparents. This group of relatives would take a plane to Namibia to receive various anti-aging treatments.
For this reason, Chen Chen simply chartered a plane to transport his relatives.
He looked at the group of people he was familiar with at the airport. Among them were Chen Chen's father's brother and sister, as well as Chen Chen's mother's siblings and their children. Of course, Chen Chen's grandparents, even Chen Shan and Zhang Heng, whom he had just met, were among them.
The corner of Chen Chen's mouth twitched when he saw Zhang Heng. At this moment, he thought of a saying:
When a man achieves the Dao, his fowls and dogs also ascend to heaven.
"Cousin, cousin!"
Zhang Heng's right hand was in a cast. When he saw Chen Chen, there was a flash of fear in his eyes, but then he forced a smile and ran over. He came to Chen Chen and handed him a cigarette. "Cousin, smoke, smoke!"
"This is the airport. If you want to smoke, go to the smoking area."
Chen Chen expressionlessly pushed the cigarette away and looked behind him. "Is everyone here?"
"Cousin, cousin Chen Zheng didn't come."
Chen Shan also ran over and said crisply.
Although they had not seen each other for a long time, Chen Shan did not seem distant at all. She smiled and took Chen Chen's arm. "Cousin Chen Zheng still has to take care of the company, so he asked me to tell you. He also feels that he's still young and there's no need for these treatments."
"Yes, Cousin Chen Zheng has no origin."
Heng smiled apologetically at the side.
"Go, go, go. I'm talking to my cousin. Who are you to interrupt?"
Chen Shan frowned and pushed Heng away.
After Zhang Heng walked away, she looked at Chen Chen. "Cousin, long time no see!"
Chen Chen nodded in response. At this time, Chen Shan overlapped with the Chen Shan in his memory, but he found that although her appearance at this time had not changed from the past, the only thing that had changed was her temperament. At this time, Chen Shan no longer had the innocence of a young girl, but instead had a touch of maternal brilliance.
"As my little sister, you're really amazing to be able to spend so much money that you don't even have the money to pay the rent."
Chen Chen complained, "Next time, even if you don't want to tell me, you can tell my dad. Don't worry about being hated by my family because my dad is a good person. He won't sit idly by when something happens to his relatives."
"Alright …"
Chen Shan agreed vaguely and then thanked him, "Although I don't know what you did, cousin, thank you for letting Zhang Heng come back to me. In fact, I have long given up on him, but …"
Chen Shan touched her protruding belly, and a gleam of light appeared in her eyes. "The child in my belly can't be without a father."
Why bother?
Chen Chen shook his head and did not say much. Instead, he changed the subject. "It's getting late, let's get ready to board."
"Mm!"
Chen Shan nodded firmly and returned to the crowd. She walked toward the boarding gate alone. Zhang Heng, who was on the side, wanted to help her but was pushed away.
"Little Chen, aren't you coming with us?"
At this time, Chen Chen's mother came over and asked again.
"No, I still have things to do here."
Chen Chen replied, "When you get there, someone will naturally come to pick you up. You know this person, it's Qian Wenhuan from the last time we went to Namibia."
"Oh, it's that young man, that's good!"
Chen Chen's father suddenly felt relieved. "That young man is quite a nice person. He's smart and knows how to talk. Don't forget to give him a raise!"
"Okay."
Chen Chen nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He watched the group of people walk into the boarding gate surrounded by bodyguards.
When everyone got on the plane, the smile on Chen Chen's face suddenly froze. At this time, Chen Chen had returned to the man with a sinister temperament, the man who held all lives in his hands.
"It seems that it's time to establish sanatorium branches around the world."
As he watched the plane gradually take off, Chen Chen rubbed his chin.
The others were fine, but his parents' recuperation was using the Medpod 3000. This device was used once a year and the efficiency of recuperation was still too low.
Therefore, it was necessary for Chen Chen to establish a sanatorium branch here in Handu. At the same time, he would transfer a Medpod 3000 here so that they could undergo recuperation once a month.
In this way, the effect of the Medpod 3000 would far exceed the effect of the age-reversal treatment.
"Then, I'll implement it together with the upcoming branch plan."
After thinking about it, Chen Chen made up his mind. However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of leather footsteps on the ground behind him.
Chen Chen did not turn around. He only heard the sound coming from behind him and then stopped. At the same time, a cold voice suddenly spoke, "Mr. Chen, we're investigators from the Mainland FBI. Please come with us."
"I've said before that you're patient. What, you can't sit still after seeing my family just leave?"
Chen Chen turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a group of burly men in black suits behind him. This group of people all had flattop haircuts, but they were not from the Handu branch. From their words just now, Chen Chen could tell that they were from the Central Continent General Administration.
Just like the difference between the Public Security Bureau and the Ministry of Public Security, the arrival of this group of people meant that the people who wanted to see Chen Chen were not ordinary people.
Hearing Chen Chen's mockery, this group of people did not show any expression. They were obviously more well-trained. The man with the flattop looked at Chen Chen quietly, still making a "please" gesture.
Seeing this, Chen Chen turned around and walked out of the airport. Niuniu Chinese Language Network
This group of people followed Chen Chen closely step by step. The group of people in a mighty formation attracted the constant attention of people entering the airport.
Outside the airport, a Hongqi car had been waiting for a long time. The man with the flattop stepped forward and opened the door for Chen Chen. After Chen Chen got in, he walked to the door on the other side and got in. The others also got into their respective vehicles and drove in the direction of the city center.
Soon, the car drove in front of the FBI branch in Handu. Chen Chen got out of the car with familiarity and walked into a conference room under the guidance of the other party.
At this time, the conference room was filled with smoke and there was already a row of people sitting in it. As Chen Chen entered, he immediately saw more than a dozen men with the aura of high authority. The youngest of these people was over forty years old and the oldest was close to fifty or sixty years old. Chen Chen also saw a familiar face among them, it was the branch director he had just met a few days ago.
In addition, sitting at the forefront was an old man with gray hair and a refined temperament. This old man was even more familiar. He was a senior cadre who often appeared in the major news.
When Chen Chen pushed the door open and entered, everyone subconsciously raised their heads, especially the eyes of the old man with the refined temperament. The way he looked at Chen Chen was like he was looking at a huge treasure mountain.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you."
When the branch director saw Chen Chen, he immediately stood up. "This is our..."
"No need for introductions!"
Suddenly, the old man in the lead gently waved his hand. He stood up solemnly and took the initiative to shake Chen Chen's hand. Then, he sighed with some emotion. "Comrade Little Chen, it's not easy to meet a world-class genius like you!"
Chen Chen smiled. Since the other party did not put on the airs of a bureaucrat, he would not be so unworldly to the other party. He only put on a humble expression. "Secretary Wu, you flatter me. I'm not some world-class genius, I'm just a businessman. I'm not worthy of being seen in public at all."
"Ahahaha!"
However, this attitude of his made the old man in front of him even more surprised. He turned his head, pointed at Chen Chen, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, look! Look! Who said that Comrade Little Chen is young and arrogant? "
"Secretary Wu is right!"
The people in the other seats suddenly smiled bitterly and hurriedly agreed.
Only then did the old man turn around with satisfaction. Even now, he still did not let go of Zhang Heng's hand. He only said in surprise, "Comrade Little Chen, I didn't expect you to know an old man like me?"
"Secretary Wu often appears on the news. As a native of China, of course I know you."
Chen Chen smiled. "I also often pay attention to the major events of our continent."
"That's good, that's good!"
The old man smiled with relief. "Come, sit down. If you don't mind, young man like you can have a good chat with us old guys today!"
With that, he pulled Chen Chen to sit next to him.
At once, several uniformed federal investigators immediately came forward and poured a cup of tea for Chen Chen using disposable paper cups.
Following that, the old man began to ask a few irrelevant questions, which Chen Chen also answered very politely, causing the old man to laugh heartily, very happily.
After ten minutes, Chen Chen felt that it was about time and took the initiative to speak. "May I know what business you've invited me here today? Don't tell me it's just some small talk? "
As Chen Chen brought up the topic, suddenly, the somewhat lively atmosphere in the conference room immediately became solemn.
"It's very simple."
The old man heard this and stopped chatting. He was the first to speak. "I think Little Chen, you should've seen the rumors that have been stirring up on the Internet over the years. Many people say that the reason why the Blacklight Biotechnology you founded can continue to achieve such great achievements is that you've traveled from the future.
"Not only that, some people say that you've obtained alien technology, some say that you've obtained the system..."
At this point, even the old man laughed. "In fact, it's not just these people on the Internet, even the higher-ups are very curious about where these technologies of yours come from."
When the old man asked this question, the entire conference room suddenly fell silent. Everyone subconsciously held their breath and stared at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen raised an eyebrow when he heard this. He did not panic because of this sentence. He knew that this sentence was just a prelude. If the higher-ups really wanted to investigate him, they would not have allowed so many miscellaneous personnel to exist here.
Therefore, Chen Chen answered directly, "It's very simple. Just like everyone else in the world, everything is the result of the research of me and my employees."
"Just as I said, there's no such thing as aliens and people from the future in this world!"
The old man heard this and chuckled when he heard this, not caring at all about Chen Chen's answer. He just continued to follow Chen Chen's words. "I've seen the files from Jiao Tong University. It says that when you were in university, you displayed extremely high scientific attainments. To be honest, the higher-ups value talents like you very much. It was the Mainland's loss that they didn't let you into the Chinese Academy of Sciences back then."
After that, the old man asked expectantly, "If, now, the Chinese Academy of Sciences wants to recruit you, would you be willing, Little Chen?"
"That's not possible."
Chen Chen waved his hand and said calmly, "My ambition isn't in scientific research. Strictly speaking, scientific research is just a means for me. My real goal is to accelerate the development of human civilization and let mankind develop better."
At this point, Chen Chen suddenly asked with a smile, "Secretary Wu, do you think that my contribution to human civilization as a scientific researcher is greater or my current contribution to human civilization is greater?"
Hearing this, the old man suddenly looked moved. "I see. Your words remind me of a person, a person who said that 'studying medicine can't save the people of the Mainland'..."
"I wouldn't dare to compare myself to Mr. Lu Xun."
Chen Chen immediately denied, not at all affected by the other person's praise. "Now, I'm at most a businessman, I can't be as noble as Mr. Lu Xun, so if Secretary Wu has anything to say, just say it."
"In that case, I'll just say it..."
Seeing that Chen Chen was almost unmoved, the old man finally stopped beating around the bush. He solemnly said, "Some time ago, didn't your company give each continent a list at the Earth Federation headquarters? After looking at it, we think that some of the weapons are worth buying. In addition, there are also some technologies, but in terms of price... "
"I wonder what kind of weapons the higher-ups want?"
Chen Chen thought for a while and said cautiously, "I can't say much about other things, but in terms of price, I'll definitely give the Mainland the lowest price."
"Good, that's good!"
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this. "Little Chen, you may not know this, but I came to Handu this time to make a military pledge, but now that Little Chen has said this, I can rest assured."
With that, the old man nodded to the man behind him who had previously invited Chen Chen over. The man immediately turned and left the conference room. However, less than half a minute later, he walked in with a safe.
As the safe opened with a click, a list appeared in the safe and then the man with the flattop handed it to the old man.
Immediately, the old man handed it to Chen Chen.
Seeing the long list of items on the list, Chen Chen raised his eyebrows. At this time, he finally understood why this group of people was acting this way.
This group of people wanted the source code of the XTN-003 robot.
