"To be honest, this is a little gadget I got from a blind box. I just thought it was interesting, so I've been carrying it with me all this time."
"What are you talking about, blind boxes?"
"It's like when you buy something online, and the outer packaging is all the same, but after you tear it open, you don't know what's inside."
Su Ya was puzzled after hearing this.
"Since it's a blind box, how does someone know that this item will definitely end up in your hands?"
"Yeah, so many people buy blind boxes every day, but this one just happens to end up in my hands."
Suddenly, Suya sensed that something was wrong.
"How many blind boxes have been sold?"
"A new store that opened last year has already sold over 1 million units so far. I've bought quite a few blind boxes from them."
"Give me that blind box shop?"
"I'll send it to you on WeChat."
Suya saw the store address and then looked it up on her computer.
The shop was quickly found to be a company registered in country M.
It has multiple branches in China.
They claim that the blind boxes contain everything, but the items will never be larger than the box itself. And they guarantee it's excellent value for money.
"How big is that blind box you're talking about?"
Suya asked again.
"The blind boxes I collect are not big, about 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide."
Jian Yao began to gesture.
Are all their suitcases this big?
"Yes, they are all this size."
"Were their items sent to you by a courier company?"
"No, they seem to have branches all over China. After you place your order, you can receive it on the same day at the latest."
It's a foreign company with domestic authorization and a nationwide network of state-owned outlets. They deliver on the same day, and the items inside contain machines that block signals.
Moreover, this company had all the necessary qualifications. No one would have guessed they would add anything to it.
Su Ya quickly called Ye Qinchuan.
Ye Qinchuan didn't expect Su Ya to call him right after they finished texting.
Could it be that she misses him?
Ye Qinchuan was secretly delighted.
As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Su Ya say, "Ye Qinchuan, something happened? You need to come to my house right away."
Now?
"Yes, now, or I can go find you."
"Ya Ya, if things aren't too urgent, I'll come find you after my meeting."
Ye Qinchuan has an important meeting to attend soon and cannot leave for the time being.
Su Ya knew that Ye Qinchuan's words meant the meeting was very important, but this matter couldn't be delayed any longer. So she quickly said, "Ye Qinchuan, the thing I showed you earlier was a blind box that Jian Yao bought on Taobao. I checked it just now; the company's address is in M state, and it's authorized to a company in China. Jian Yao said that this company has online branches all over the country, and things bought online can arrive at the latest the same day. So they perfectly avoid inspection. Think about it, what if what someone buys doesn't contain a signal shield, but a listening device or some other kind of equipment? And I suspect that this company might be related to the fighting arena; these kinds of companies are the easiest to hide people in."
Su Ya didn't say anything definitive, but Ye Qinchuan had already thought of it. If someone really bought a blind box containing a listening device, then some information would inevitably be known to the other party, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Give me the address of that shop."
"I've already sent the address to your phone."
"Ya Ya, I can't go to the pharmaceutical factory with you today."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qinchuan hurriedly walked towards the leader's office.
This matter needs to be reported immediately. He just glanced at it and found that this store has already achieved sales of over 1 million in just one year. Moreover, besides Taobao, it is unknown whether they have advertised on other platforms.
After Ye Qinchuan reported this matter to the leaders present,
Instead of offering their opinions, the leaders started making phone calls.
"Yangyang, did you buy a blind box a few days ago?"
[Xiao Zi, Dad saw you had a blind box the other day, did you buy it on Taobao?]
[My dear grandson, Grandpa saw you holding a blind box. Where did you get it from?]
...
The conference room was filled with the sounds of people making calls; everyone was exhausted after finishing their calls.
Because no one would expect that such a thing would be hidden inside a blind box.
However, in order to ensure that the contents of the blind box are the same as what Ye Qinchuan imagined.
They need to get the blind boxes back first, so they sent someone home to retrieve them.
An hour later, all the items from the blind boxes in these leaders' homes had been collected. Some families had bought more than a dozen blind boxes.
Looking at the contents of nearly a hundred blind boxes on the table.
They have all sorts of things: instant cameras, dice, power banks, point-and-shoot cameras, game consoles, Rubik's Cubes, etc. No wonder people like to buy blind boxes; basically, the items inside are more expensive than the purchase price.
Everyone hoped there wouldn't be anything inside, and that it wouldn't be what they expected.
The leader ordered the equipment department to send someone to the conference room.
These things could have been disassembled one by one into individual parts.
However, for convenience, Ye Qinchuan simply asked for a hammer and started smashing.
The first blind box contained a small button-like object.
The equipment department took it for inspection, and it turned out to be a signal shielding device.
The second blind box contained a very small black box.
The equipment department took it for inspection, and it turned out to be a listening device.
The third blind box contained a silver, round object.
The equipment department took it for inspection, but they couldn't find out what it was.
"Send it to the weapons department."
The leader has spoken.
People from the weapons department came, picked up the item, and took it away. A while later, they brought back the assessment results: it was a small device that could be detonated remotely.
Although it won't directly harm people, it can spray out toxic gases.
This gas will cause people to fall into a coma immediately upon smelling it.
Ye Qinchuan wouldn't personally smash the rest of the items; he'd have the equipment and weapons departments take them away, since everyone present was a high-ranking leader. Just in case there were anything harmful inside.
Ultimately, these nearly one hundred blind boxes underwent inspection by the Equipment Department and the Weapons Department.
There are over thirty signal shielding devices, over forty listening devices, over a dozen remote detonation devices, and all sorts of other things, some of which are even the latest products developed abroad.
Almost every leader present possessed two or three of these items.
The leaders were furious.
The top leader here suddenly stood up, which was a blatant provocation against China.
"Ye Qinchuan, from now on, this matter is entirely in your hands. You must eliminate any potential risks as quickly as possible. All departments are now at your disposal, and they will cooperate fully with you."
"Yes, sir."
"There will be no meeting today. Each department should inform its subordinates and ensure full cooperation."
"Good leader."
The high-ranking leader left. Ye Qinchuan proceeded with the arrangements methodically.
"Leaders, we hope that the public security department will arrest the personnel in charge of this blind box online store across China, and that the industry and commerce department will shut down the store due to quality problems. However, in order not to alert the suspects, the arrests need to be carried out simultaneously."
