PANews reported on October 30th that, according to Hong Kong media outlet Oriental Daily News, on October 27th, a light truck in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, was found carrying a large amount of 100 RMB cash, estimated to be worth over 100 million RMB (approximately 109 million HKD). Local authorities stated on Tuesday (October 28th) that they would verify the claim. Footage circulating online shows the cargo in the truck bed wrapped in plastic film and securely tied with rope. The truck body was marked with the words "hidden money" and a phone number. The person who filmed the incident claimed it wasn't generated by AI. When the phone number on the truck was dialed, the man who answered initially insisted the cash was real money, that he was involved in cryptocurrency exchange, and that the truck was parked in front of his shop. He claimed the police had contacted him and he didn't believe he had broken the law. However, after the mainland media identified themselves as reporters, he immediately changed his story, claiming the cash was just a prop. The incident occurred at the intersection of Maixing Road and Mingzhu Road in Huicheng District, Huizhou City. Several businesses and units at the intersection stated they hadn't noticed the vehicle. Local police stated they couldn't disclose specific details but would keep an eye out during patrols.
