The doctor finally came to his senses completely.
"Quick!"
"Notify the operating room!"
"Contact the head of cardiac surgery!"
"Arrange preoperative examinations immediately!"
His voice was noticeably hurried.
Originally, Wang Jianguo's daughter's surgery had been delayed.
It wasn't that the hospital was unwilling to treat her, but that there was no money.
That surgery plus the follow-up treatment...
Conservatively estimated, it would cost at least a million!
The hospital had long ago formulated the surgical plan.
But for a family that had already spent years in the hospital and had long since sold their house and car, this expense was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
But now, the money had arrived!
Moreover, Wang Jianguo hadn't just confirmed it on his mobile banking app; he had also just specifically called the bank to verify it repeatedly, and customer service replied that it was an overseas remittance!
It had come in through normal channels!
Since that was the case, the surgery could naturally proceed as normal.
Soon, several nurses also hurriedly began to take action.
The entire corridor instantly descended into chaos.
Wang Jianguo's eyes were red, and he was just about to follow Chen Fan to ask for his contact information.
He would thank him properly when he had time later.
However, just at this moment.
A hesitant voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Wang... Brother Wang?"
Everyone turned their heads subconsciously.
They saw that it was the young man, who was staring wide-eyed at Wang Jianguo.
And the expression on his face was becoming increasingly strange.
A young nurse next to him also had her mouth open.
It was as if she wanted to say something but wasn't quite sure.
Wang Jianguo was stunned for a moment. "What's wrong?"
He subconsciously touched his face, thinking he had lost his composure earlier and cried too hard, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Is my face tear-stained?"
"I've made a fool of myself in front of everyone."
But the young man didn't respond.
He just swallowed hard.
His gaze was somewhat vacant.
"Brother Wang..."
"Your face..."
"Seems to have wrinkles."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The surroundings instantly went quiet.
Wang Jianguo was stunned and touched his cheek.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, and also... white hair!"
The young man's voice was a bit shaky.
"It didn't seem to be there just a moment ago!"
Hearing this, several people nearby also hurriedly looked closely.
Upon looking, the expressions of the crowd changed slightly.
It really was!
Although Wang Jianguo had been haggard before.
He was, after all, only thirty-seven years old and still young.
But now!
A few shallow fine lines had actually appeared at the corners of his eyes.
A few strands of white hair were also mixed in at his temples.
Although not particularly obvious.
Compared to a few minutes ago, he really did look a bit older.
"Holy crap!"
"It really is!"
"He really aged?"
"No way, right?"
"Could this be the aftereffect of selling one's lifespan?"
The crowd immediately became restless.
Those who had been incredibly envious before.
Their expressions gradually changed.
That's right.
What he sold was his lifespan!
How could there be no cost at all?
Wang Jianguo himself was also a bit confused.
He hurriedly walked quickly to the nearby restroom.
In front of the mirror, he stared intently at his own face.
A few seconds later, he fell silent.
He had indeed aged a bit; although it was only a very subtle change, he could clearly feel it himself.
Especially in his eyes, which lacked some of the vitality they had before.
And...
His body also seemed a bit weaker?
Because he had been too excited just now, he hadn't paid much attention.
Now that he had calmed down, he clearly felt a slight sense of fatigue, as if he had stayed up for two nights, and even his lower back felt a bit sore.
Wang Jianguo took a deep breath.
He reopened 【lifespan treasure】.
The page refreshed.
【Name: Wang Jianguo】
【Age: 37 (+3)】
【Assets: 1,532,842.15 Yuan】
【Life Rating: A】
【Health Status: Mild Weakness】
【Remaining lifespan: 25 years】
Seeing the annotation after the age column.
Wang Jianguo was silent for a few seconds.
His lifespan had increased by three years!
So, had he really aged three years?
But soon, he suddenly smiled.
The smile was complex, filled with fatigue, relief, and a sense of ease after being suppressed for so long.
Three years of lifespan in exchange for his daughter's life.
Was it worth it?
It was worth it.
Let alone three years, even ten years, he would be willing to sell!
Thinking of this, Wang Jianguo put away his phone and walked back out of the restroom.
The way the crowd outside looked at him was completely different now.
Shock.
Dread.
Complexity.
Because now everyone finally confirmed it completely!
Selling one's lifespan was no joke.
It really would deduct lifespan!
Wang Jianguo, however, didn't care about any of this at all.
Instead, he walked quickly to Chen Fan.
"Brother."
He spoke solemnly.
"Let's exchange contact information."
"I have to go accompany my daughter for her surgery today."
"When I have time later."
"I will definitely thank you properly."
Chen Fan didn't refuse.
The two of them quickly exchanged contact information.
Wang Jianguo didn't waste any more words.
He turned around and followed the doctor away quickly.
The young man also hurriedly chased after them.
Soon.
The corridor became quiet again.
But that oppressive silence.
Was actually even more uncomfortable than before.
Because now.
Everyone knew one thing.
lifespan.
Could really be bought and sold.
But.
There was a price to pay.
However.
Even so.
The eyes of everyone in the corridor were still becoming increasingly fervent!
Because...
People who weren't even afraid of death.
Would they be afraid of selling their lifespan?
Especially those who had been pushed to the edge.
At this moment.
【lifespan treasure】 to them.
Was no longer just an app.
But a way to survive!
Soon.
With a whoosh.
A crowd swarmed toward Chen Fan again.
"Brother!"
"Do you still have any invitation codes?!"
"Sell me one!"
"I'll pay two hundred!"
"I'll pay one thousand!!"
"I beg you! My wife has terminal cancer!"
"My son is still in the ICU!"
"Give it to me!"
"I beg you!!"
The crowd was in complete chaos.
Some had red eyes.
Some were pushing desperately to get to the front.
Some people were even already starting to take out their bank cards.
The scene was momentarily out of control.
Chen Fan's heart jumped violently.
Originally.
He was still immersed in the shock brought by the lifespan transaction.
But now.
He suddenly realized an extremely dangerous problem.
invitation code.
Was an admission ticket.
And he.
Was currently the only person publicly known to possess an admission ticket!
What did this mean?
It meant that in the future.
Countless dying people.
Countless wealthy people wanting to extend their lives.
And even countless people with nowhere left to turn.
Could all target him!
Today, everyone was still relatively restrained because they were at the hospital.
But what about in the future?
What if someone took a risk and did something desperate?
Kidnapping?
Threats?
Or even...
Murder?
A chill suddenly went up Chen Fan's back.
He realized for the first time.
That what 【lifespan treasure】 brought.
Was not just lifespan and wealth.
But also danger.
Thinking of this.
Chen Fan immediately shook his head.
He had to make a plan before deciding how to use it.
"It's gone."
"There was only one invitation code, and it's already been given away."
The crowd was somewhat skeptical.
"Brother!"
"Think of another way!"
"That's right! Any amount of money is fine!"
"Or if you sell it, I'll give you a year!"
"I beg you!!"
But Chen Fan would no longer give in.
Just then, the door to the patient room next to them suddenly opened.
Zhou Wanshan walked out, accompanied by his wife and son.
As if they had thought of something.
Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.
Chen Fan had an invitation code.
What about Boss Zhou?
Would he have one too?
