Chapter 411: Need a Big Strong Thigh to Lean On
Pang Longhai handed his phone to Chen Fan, then turned to open the door and stood outside.
Chen Fan first dialed Su Ruochu's number.
After two rings, Su Ruochu's slightly cautious voice came from the other end.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
"Chen Fan!"
Su Ruochu's tone immediately raised, her voice filled with surprise.
"Chen Fan, where are you? Are you okay? Did they beat you?"
As she spoke, Su Ruochu began to cry, tears unstoppable, unable to speak clearly, obviously worried sick.
"I... I was so worried about you..."
"Is it Brother Fan calling?"
This was Guo Shuai's voice coming from the phone, apparently Guo Shuai was with Su Ruochu.
Chen Fan smiled and comforted her, "Wife, I'm perfectly fine. I just came to cooperate with an investigation on something. Don't overthink it."
"Stop crying first, and pass the phone to Guo-zi, I need to say a few words to him."
Su Ruochu handed the phone to Guo Shuai while sobbing.
"Chen Fan wants to talk to you."
Guo Shuai took the phone and immediately shouted, "Brother Fan, where are you? Are you alright?"
"Guo-zi, listen to me first."
"Did you send people to the hospital where Song Mingjie is staying?"
Guo Shuai snorted coldly, "When Su Ruochu came over earlier and told me you were taken away, I guessed what it was about right away."
"Hmph, if the Song family wants to cause trouble, I'll mess with his son."
"I originally planned to have someone keep an eye on his vegetative son. If the Song family behaves, that would be fine. If not, I'll directly pull out his tubes..."
"Nonsense!"
Chen Fan was speechless, this Guo Shuai kid was getting bolder and bolder.
"Are you crazy? Do you really want to go back in?"
But Guo Shuai didn't care at all.
"If they dare to touch you, I'll mess with his son. At worst, I'll go back in, that's all. It's not like I haven't been in the slammer before."
Hearing these words, Chen Fan felt warmth in his heart. This was a true brother.
But Chen Fan's tone remained stern.
"Guo-zi, listen to me, get your people out of there immediately. They've already been noticed, and you think you're being discreet."
"Huh? They've been discovered? That's impossible..."
Chen Fan directly interrupted him.
"Listen to me, I don't have any big issues here, I can resolve this on my own, I don't need you to intervene."
"Your task now is to help me take care of Su Ruochu."
"Brother Fan, are you really okay?"
Chen Fan sighed, "When have I ever exaggerated? Don't worry, I'll be out soon."
"Alright then. I'll do as you say."
But then Guo Shuai added another sentence.
"But if you can't handle it, don't blame me for dealing with it in my own way."
Chen Fan had no way with this guy, "Pass the phone back to Su Ruochu first."
Su Ruochu's timid voice came through the phone again.
"Hello, Chen Fan, what exactly happened to you? Did they really not beat you?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Really, nothing happened. Don't overthink it."
"If you're not at ease, you can ask Guo Shuai, he knows what happened."
"By the way, I'm just here to cooperate with an investigation, they're not giving me a hard time. Don't worry, I should be out soon."
"Really?"
"Really."
After gently comforting her for a couple more sentences, until Su Ruochu stopped crying, Chen Fan finally hung up the phone.
He called out "Brother Pang," and Pang Longhai pushed the door open and came in.
"Finished calling? Hehe, is there anything else you need to arrange? I can help."
Chen Fan shook his head and returned the phone to him.
"Thanks."
Pang Longhai shook his head, "No need to say that between us."
"You just rest well here tonight, I've already spoken to them, no one will come to trouble you. Tomorrow we'll see what happens when the work group arrives."
Chen Fan nodded, indicating he understood.
After Pang Longhai left, Chen Fan was also taken to a separate rest room. The person even poured a glass of water for Chen Fan, and said as they left that if he needed anything, he could knock on the door.
Chen Fan nodded in thanks, understanding that this was due to Pang Longhai's influence.
Chen Fan sat alone on the recliner, looking a bit gloomy.
In both his past and present lives, this was the first time he had spent the night in a police station, although it was in a rest room, it still counted as being in custody.
Just because Song Mingjie's father was a town mayor, they had brought him in based on a mere slanderous accusation.
This made Chen Fan very unhappy.
It also gave Chen Fan a wake-up call.
Had he been keeping too low a profile?
Previously, when media reported news about the club or Feifan Technology, Chen Fan had never shown his face. Even in the news, it only said that the boss was very mysterious, and no reporter had ever interviewed him in person.
Except for a very few people who knew Chen Fan's true identity, in the eyes of the public, his identity was just that of a college student.
If Chen Fan hadn't been so low-key before, intentionally hiding his identity, today, just based on his identity as the founder of Feifan Technology, these two small-time cops wouldn't have been able to bring him in.
Feifan Technology was now the darling of the entire Yunhai city. Leaders at all levels were keeping an eye on it.
If Chen Fan got angry and moved the company away, everyone would probably be dumbfounded.
Besides being too low-key, Chen Fan also realized another problem.
That was that his network of relationships and connections wasn't deep enough.
If it wasn't for Fang Ling's introduction earlier, which led to him knowing Pang Longhai, Chen Fan would probably have to suffer a bit tonight.
It seems he still needs to work on his connections.
As a businessman, being too independent is not a good thing.
However, those big shots Chen Fan had associated with in his past life were either still unknown and obscure now, or not in Yunhai.
Even if Chen Fan wanted to make connections in advance, he probably couldn't find these people.
Chen Fan frowned, dipped his finger in the water glass, and drew a circle on the table surface.
This circle represented Feifan Technology, and then he drew a small circle next to it, which was Pang Longhai.
Then Chen Fan drew another big circle...
He needed a connection with a more powerful background to consolidate his business and status in Yunhai.
Simply put, Chen Fan currently needed to latch onto a bigger thigh for support.
It was now 2003, less than a year before the next leadership change in Yunhai city.
Who should he approach?
Chen Fan began to search his memories from his past life, faces flashing through his mind...
...
Early the next morning, a staff member came in to tell Chen Fan that the work group had arrived.
At 8:30 am, two members of the work group, a man and a woman, entered the interrogation room and began questioning Chen Fan.
At the same time, several other groups were simultaneously questioning Pang Longhai, the two patrol officers who had experienced the robbery case, and the security guards from Chen Fan's club.
Chen Fan didn't seem very nervous at all.
He truthfully recounted the situation at the scene at that time. There was no need for him to lie about this.
The work group members opposite him asked about Song Mingjie.
Chen Fan answered straightforwardly.
Because Song Mingjie had been constantly causing trouble for his club, and given this guy's special status with a town mayor for a father.
He was doing business in their jurisdiction, so he could only swallow his anger.
But the Song father and son wanted to go all out, Chen Fan had no choice. In order to keep the club operating normally, he could only compromise and decided to negotiate with Song Mingjie.
"Yesterday was when I met Song Mingjie for negotiations. I originally thought that at worst, I'd let him extort some money, pay him off to leave me alone."
"Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen. Song Mingjie inexplicably turned into a big tree..."
"Sigh..."
Chen Fan sighed with a regretful look on his face.
"I hope he can recover."
