Chapter 954 Damn, it turns out that it was Shen who was causing trouble
"Consultant Zhang, congratulations!"
As Zhang Heping and Mr. Hua got out of the car, they saw a dozen familiar old men and women waiting in front of a red brick office building.
The old man who greeted him first was named Zhu. They were all people who had tried the Longevity 120 potion for free this year, and could be considered supporters of Mr. Hua.
However, none of them returned to work, but instead joined the Advisory Committee.
Zhang Heping smiled and greeted the senior advisors before turning to Advisor Zhu. "Mr. Zhu, why were you congratulating me just now? Are you going to my house for the wedding banquet, too?"
"Haha! I'd love to go, but I just didn't have time to ask for an invitation." Advisor Zhu moved aside the door, extending his hand toward the office building and saying with a grin, "I was just congratulating the Zhurong 1 and 2 rovers on their successful landing on Mars."
"This landing not only made us the first country to land on Mars, but also attracted a large number of experts from other countries to collaborate with us on the Tiangong space station, the Guanghan Palace base on the moon, and the Yinghuo base on Mars."
“In addition, people from other industries have also benefited from this and have participated in many international projects!”
Lao Zhu's words were meant to congratulate Zhang Heping, but he was actually trying to implicitly encourage Zhang Heping, using Zhang Heping's contributions to affirm that his status in the country was no less than anyone else.
Zhang Heping naturally understood the implication, but he didn't respond directly. Instead, he said to Mr. Zhu and the other advisors with a smile, "I just got off the plane and haven't even gone home when Mr. Hua and his men caught me."
"Well, after the meeting, I'll go home tonight and write invitations to everyone. My nephew's wedding banquet will be on August 28th. Please be sure to come!"
Zhang Heping acknowledged the support of Lao Zhu and others by inviting guests, and treated them as relatives and friends.
The old men and women around naturally had no reason to refuse. If they didn't want to get closer to Zhang Heping, they wouldn't have to lower their status and come to the door to greet him.
Just as the group of old consultants were responding, Zhang Heping suddenly stopped and pointed at a short, thin old man standing on the periphery. "Mr. Peng, you don't look right!"
Hearing Zhang Heping's words, the people blocking the old man surnamed Peng hurriedly made way.
"Old Peng, let Consultant Zhang take your pulse!"
"I was saying this morning that Old Peng seemed to be half asleep, but I didn't think much about his abnormality."
"Old Peng used the 120-year longevity potion in May, so he shouldn't get sick!"
"Shh...don't disturb Consultant Zhang's pulse diagnosis!"
The old men and women around whispered a few words, then quickly shut up and waited quietly for what was to come.
Because they had just used the 120-year longevity potion not long ago, they were worried that Lao Peng's condition was a side effect of the longevity potion.
"The pulse is weak and deep, and both Qi and blood are deficient?" Zhang Heping withdrew his hand from Lao Peng's left wrist, then grasped Lao Peng's left and right arms. He found several needle marks and a dark bruise at the bend of his left arm, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. "Where did you draw the blood?"
blood draw?
Those who reacted slowly had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, but those who reacted quickly, like Mr. Hua, had already frowned and stepped forward to check Lao Peng's left arm.
"Old Peng, this matter is very serious, you have to explain it clearly!" Although Mr. Hua thought of some bad things, he still suppressed the irritability and uneasiness in his heart.
Advisor Peng saw everyone looking at him seriously and was embarrassed to speak out, but finally had no choice but to tell the truth, "My granddaughter Xiaotang is also studying medicine. She was curious about Advisor Zhang's 120-day life potion, so she drew some of my blood for an experiment."
If there really was a little blood, Consultant Peng's expression wouldn't be so bad that others would notice anything unusual.
Without Zhang Heping saying anything, Old Hua waved over his personal bodyguard Xiao Qin and asked him to take a few people and go to his granddaughter's laboratory with Old Peng to retrieve the blood and related research data.
After watching Elder Peng get into the car, Zhang Heping shook his head and reminded the others, "When you were discharged from the hospital, the doctors reminded you to rest well for the next six months and not to lose more than 100 milliliters of blood!"
"Some of this is to prepare for the blood draw six months later, and there are also important reasons that cannot be disclosed to the public."
Without waiting for others to ask, Old Lady Zheng asked first, "Heping, is Old Peng okay?"
"At the moment, he's fine!" Zhang Heping followed the instructions and walked upstairs to the office building. "In a few years, you'll find that he's aging faster than you!"
Elder Hua said helplessly, "After they used up the 120-year lifespan potion, I gave them all instructions one by one."
"I never imagined that Old Peng would fall into the hands of his granddaughter!"
"Advisor Zhang!" a quick-witted old man asked anxiously, "Is it possible that the effects of the 120-year lifespan potion are still hidden in our blood? If we lose too much blood..."
"Be careful!" Elder Hua interrupted the man hurriedly. "This matter must be kept strictly confidential. It's for your safety, as well as the safety of the other drug testers!"
After this episode, everyone's expressions became much more serious.
So, when they walked into the venue, those who were sitting in the venue and did not go out to greet Zhang Heping felt an inexplicable oppression, as if these people had reached some kind of conspiracy.
"Everyone, welcome Consultant Zhang to the meeting!" Mr. Yang, who was presiding over the meeting, greeted him and stood up first to welcome him, thus leading the others.
Zhang Heping was very humble at this moment, and kept bowing to those who were applauding.
Mr. Hua, Mr. Li, and Mrs. Zheng went to the front, while Zhang Heping and the others sat at the back, as if they were distancing themselves from each other.
However, the topic they started talking about later was frequently asking for Zhang Heping's opinion.
During this afternoon's meeting, there was no mention of mental power or brain-computer interaction. The entire discussion was focused on domestic economic issues, such as stock market supervision, tax reform, etc.
But after dinner, Zhang Heping followed Mr. Hua and others to an underground air-raid shelter.
This air-raid shelter filled with wooden boxes and sacks did not have much space left for Zhang Heping and his team to hold a meeting, so there were only nine people attending the meeting, including Zhang Heping!
After Yang Lao invited everyone to find a wooden box to sit down, he got down to business. "Advisor Zhang, could you please let us try out your newly developed micro-brain-computer?"
Zhang Heping pulled out a piece of cloth from his trouser pocket, spread it out, and took out a fingernail-sized gold-coated quartz piece. He handed it to the stunned Yang Lao and said, "Put the gold side between your eyebrows."
"Don't use your mental power to sweep others, it's very dangerous!"
"Don't try for too long, or your brain will get very tired, or you might even pass out!"
As Zhang Heping spoke, he took a few steps back and at the same time picked up the gold-wrapped jade Guanyin pendant from under his neck, placed it on his forehead, and released his mental power around Yang Lao to prevent his mental power from running around.
The last time he did this was when he wore a golden mask and let Mr. Qian try out this second-generation micro brain-computer interface.
At that time, Mr. Qian only felt that his external mental power hit the soft wall, but he didn't know that it was a protection made by Zhang Heping using his mental power, which was considered a kind of mental power application.
After trying it for 3 seconds, Mr. Yang took off the gold-coated quartz piece, looked at it carefully again, and then handed it to the old comrade next to him who was eager to try it.
Then, Elder Yang asked Zhang Heping, "Is the pendant on your forehead also a micro-brain machine?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Heping responded casually.
Now he is not idle, so Zhang Heping can focus on responding; unlike before when he was idle, even the king and the queen could not distract him.
"This shouldn't be considered a brain-computer!" Old Yang said without waiting for Zhang Heping to reply, "Everyone here has used the Ruomu brain-computer and experienced that kind of illusory space that seems real."
"Master Yang!" Zhang Heping suddenly used his mental power to retrieve the gold-plated quartz piece and said calmly, "I'm not here for business negotiations, so you don't have to bargain!"
A piece of glasses cloth unfolded and flew up, wrapping the gold-wrapped quartz piece, and then flew back to Zhang Heping's right hand.
Then Zhang Heping put down the pendant between his eyebrows, stuffed it into his collar, and stuffed the glasses cloth into his trouser pocket.
"If the rudimentary brain-computer I developed is compared to the first vacuum tube computer over 40 years ago, then the Ruomu brain-computer can be compared to today's 28-nanometer computers."
Zhang Heping looked at the other five elders and said slowly, "My rudimentary brain-computer is just like that vacuum tube computer. Compared with the Ruomu brain-computer and the new computer, it can't be considered a brain-computer or a computer."
"But so what? Who can deny the groundbreaking role and historical significance of the first vacuum tube computer?"
"Who can be sure that I can't develop an advanced brain-computer interface that can connect to the mental network?"
"On the contrary, those foreigners who bought hundreds of thousands of 28-nanometer computers still haven't figured out how 28-nanometer computers are made!"
Zhang Heping used computers to mock them, saying that they hadn't even figured out the Ruomu brain-computer, yet they dared to say that the brain-computer he developed was not a brain-computer, which left Yang Laogan speechless.
The main reason was that no one had spoken to him like this for a long time, and even though Zhang Heping said it politely, he still felt a little embarrassed.
Elder Yang looked at Elder Hua, Elder Li, Elder Mrs. Zheng and others, and finally fixed his gaze on the old man who had always opposed granting authorization to Zhang Heping.
"Old Shen!" Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Old Yang called out his name directly.
However, just as the old man surnamed Shen in a white short-sleeved shirt was about to speak, Zhang Heping asked a question in a cold tone.
"Shen Gang, Shen Mo, who are you?"
Zhang Heping didn't think it was strange that Old Yang didn't call the man by his surname.
But when I heard that the other person's surname was Shen, a figure immediately popped up in my mind, Shen Mo!
"I don't know them!" The old man surnamed Shen denied the question without even thinking.
However, as if to prove that he really didn't know the two people, this person asked back, "I wonder why Consultant Zhang asked that?"
Zhang Heping folded his arms over his chest and sneered, "I designed the world's first facial recognition system. Your face is 72% similar to Shen Gang's, and 45% similar to Shen Mo's."
"Based on genetic and probabilistic analysis, the possibility that you are related to both of them is very high!"
"Also, I can confirm one thing for sure. Of all the people who have tried to stop me from gaining access to the Sanxingdui underground base over the years, you're the one who least wants me to get access, right?"
Zhang Heping asked his last question to Mr. Hua, Mr. Li and the others.
After seeing Elder Hua and Elder Li nod, Zhang Heping stood up and left. "First, thoroughly investigate this person's situation. Otherwise, we're done! All investments of the Heping Group will be withdrawn from the mainland! I'll also consider emigrating abroad!"
Zhang Heping suddenly did this and even said something as harsh as immigration in front of them without regard for the consequences. It was obvious that only one of him and the man surnamed Shen could survive!
What is the connection between them?
boom!boom!
Zhang Heping hammered twice on the closed iron door at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, but no one opened the door for him.
The next second, he kicked out violently.
boom!
There was a loud bang, and half of the iron door was deformed, revealing a palm-width gap.
boom!boom!boom……
The successive kicks made the eardrums of Yang Lao and others vibrate violently, and frightened the guard guarding the door on the other side of the air-raid shelter to quickly open the door and come in to check. The guard in front of Zhang Heping who had just pretended to be deaf and refused to open the door was so frightened that he kept shouting to stop them.
Mr. Hua didn't expect Zhang Heping to be so angry. He stood up and waved away the two guards running over from the other side. Then he walked towards Zhang Heping, trying to persuade him to calm down first, and then asked clearly who Shen Gang and Shen Mo were?
The noise from the door soon stopped. Zhang Heping crawled out of the deformed and cracked doorway and casually removed the limbs of the two guards who were trying to stop him from behind the door.
"Who are Shen Gang and Shen Mo?"
Just after Elder Hua followed Zhang Heping away, Elder Yang frowned and looked at the old man surnamed Shen, and asked the question that everyone else was thinking about.
Although Mr. Hua had read Zhang Heping's previous files, the part involving Shen Mo had been artificially erased as early as when he was in Jingcheng.
If you are not an eyewitness to the incident, it is difficult to remember who Shen Mo is.
So, Mr. Hua followed Zhang Heping into the car and was still asking who this person was!
As the car started moving, Zhang Heping replied, "In November 1971, Shen Mo was transferred to the Nanla Town Health Center and served as my vice president for a year. His father, Shen Gang, was arrested for corruption in November 1975!"
"In 71, at the Nanla Town Health Center, your file records show that the deputy director was Bai Yun..." Old Hua frowned and realized something was wrong when he said this.
Mr. Hua also didn't expect that someone had touched Zhang Heping's file before him and Director Wang!
"Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this!" Mr. Hua said something meaningless, then said seriously, "Don't make childish threats like divestment or immigration anymore."
"With us here, you can focus on your research and don't worry about anything else!" said Mr. Hua, patting Zhang Heping's right leg and saying with emotion:
"The Magnesian guy said that Mr. Qian is worth five Marine divisions, but Mr. Qian said that you are worth half the scientific community!"
"How could we bear to let you go..."
……
In just three days, Mr. Yang and his team found out everything about Shen Mo and Shen Gang's past, their current situation, and the interest chain behind them.
On the surface, Old Shen, who prevented Zhang Heping from gaining access to the Sanxingdui underground base, did not have any registered relative relationship with Shen Gang, the head of the Yundu Shen Pharmaceutical Factory, and Shen Mo, the deputy director of the pharmaceutical factory.
However, why was the state-owned pharmaceutical factory, which originally had good profits, privatized and named Shen after suffering losses for three consecutive years?
Just by investigating from this point upwards, a large number of problematic masters were uncovered.
Of course, the focus of their investigation was what kind of feud these two people surnamed Shen had with Zhang Heping.
And why did Mr. Shen target Zhang Heping everywhere?
As this line unfolds, Shen Gang's uncle, a man who was lost during the war, attracts everyone's attention.
It has been such a long time since the incident, and the interest chain behind Shen Gang is so complicated that it cannot be fully investigated in three days.
But times have changed!
Thanks to the Peace Group's promotion and development of domestic medical services, paternity testing is as simple as a blood test.
Since the three people with the surname Shen don’t recognize him, let’s do a blood test to prove their relationship!
Consultant Zhang said that he could tell that the three people were relatives just by their appearance.
After a paternity test, it was confirmed that Lao Shen and Shen Gang were indeed related by blood.
Now that's good, by following the two lines of Lao Shen and Shen Gang, and checking both upstream and downstream, we can always find the problem.
Coupled with the temptation of leniency for confessing, Old Shen finally confessed most of the things in order to protect Shen Mo, the only child of the Shen family...
