Chapter 458: Can I See Him?
The studio is in trouble!
Upon hearing these words, a thunderbolt struck in Chen Fan's mind.
As expected.
As expected, trouble still came.
He had already reminded him several times to keep a low profile and be cautious.
In the end, what was meant to happen still happened.
For a moment, Chen Fan felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Brother Jie, oh Brother Jie... sigh.
"Don't panic, let me think of a solution."
After comforting Li Jiao on the other end of the phone, Chen Fan hung up.
The roommates all gathered around.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Brother Jie?"
Chen Fan looked at them and nodded.
There was no need to hide this.
Besides, everyone basically knew what Brother Jie was doing now.
"The studio is in trouble, the police took Brother Jie away."
"What?"
"Will Brother Jie go to jail?"
Wu Di's face turned pale as he patted his chest.
"That was close. A few days ago, I told Brother Jie I wanted to invest in his studio. Luckily I didn't have the money."
"Now is not the time to talk about this!"
Ma Xiaoshuai glanced at Wu Di, then looked at Chen Fan.
"Do you know the specific situation? Should we go check it out?"
"He's already been arrested, what's the use of going now?"
Chen Fan was a bit irritated.
He was angry that Luo Wenjie hadn't listened to his advice at all before.
"We can't just do nothing, right?"
"We have to do something."
The group discussed heatedly.
Someone close to them was suddenly taken away by the police, and they didn't know the situation. Everyone felt a bit sad.
Chen Fan took a deep breath: "Xiaoshuai, ask Linlin to chat with Li Jiao, see how much she actually knows."
"I'll make a call and see if I can find out any news about Brother Jie."
"Okay."
Ma Xiaoshuai took out his phone and called his girlfriend again.
Chen Fan picked up the cigarettes on the table and went out to the balcony.
He first lit a cigarette, then took out his phone and called Pang Longhai.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered.
Pang Longhai's voice sounded lazy, as if he had been drinking.
"Hello?"
"Brother Pang, it's Chen Fan. I'm sorry for calling you so late, did I wake you up?"
"Ah, Brother Chen, what sleep? Damn it, I finally got a day off and wanted to spend time with my wife and kids, but ended up having to drink with the leaders again."
"Sigh, when you're in this world, you're not in control of your own fate..."
Pang Longhai was obviously more talkative after drinking, but after rambling for a few sentences, he suddenly realized something.
"By the way, Brother Chen, you're calling me so late, is something wrong?"
"If there's anything, just say it directly. There's no need for formalities between us."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Brother Pang, I won't be polite with you this time."
"It's like this, one of my roommates was suddenly taken away by the police tonight. I don't know the specific situation, so I wanted to ask Brother Pang to help inquire about it."
"Oh, so that's what happened. What's your roommate's name?"
"Luo Wenjie."
"Do you know which police station took him?"
Chen Fan was stunned, turned around and found Ma Xiaoshuai had come up behind him, whispering a reminder.
"It's the Sankeshu Police Station."
Chen Fan immediately said: "It's the Sankeshu Police Station."
"Oh, Sankeshu? That's all the way in the North City, how did your classmate end up there?"
"I don't know anyone at the Sankeshu Police Station, but it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll make a call and ask around for you."
"Then I'll trouble Brother Pang."
"Hmm, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up, Ma Xiaoshuai and the others immediately came over.
"How is it?"
Chen Fan: "Let's wait for news."
"Sigh."
Wu Di sighed, "We're about to graduate next year, I hope Brother Jie won't get into trouble."
Sun Hao and Han Xu analyzed next to them: "It shouldn't be that bad."
"Brother Jie wasn't doing any business with drugs, gambling, or prostitution. I think at most he'll just get fined."
"As long as he's okay, paying a fine is fine!"
Chen Fan held a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the dormitory building across in the night, his expression not very good.
He wasn't as optimistic as Wu Di and the others.
Because Chen Fan clearly remembered that in his previous life, the authorities launched a large-scale operation that directly classified businesses like cheats into the same category as drugs, gambling, and prostitution.
In that operation, many Cheat Studios were wiped out.
But cheats, like drugs, are easy to get addicted to once used. If you suddenly tell those gamers not to use cheats anymore, they would easily feel uncomfortable.
So even though this operation seemed grand, Chen Fan knew that after a while, Cheat Studios would rise from the ashes.
In the following years, cheats almost became a symbiotic relationship with game studios. Some small game developers even secretly ran private servers and made cheats to earn money.
All that could be said was that Brother Jie was really unlucky this time.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. He just happened to become the bird killed to warn others.
About half an hour later, Pang Longhai called back.
"This matter is quite troublesome. I called and asked, he's not at the Sankeshu Police Station, but was directly taken away by the city police."
"Your brother's business just happened to clash with this big operation. The situation might be a bit difficult."
Chen Fan tried asking: "Brother Pang, is there any way to help?"
"Sigh. It's probably not easy to handle."
"How about this, it's late today. Tomorrow when I go to work, I'll ask around properly and see what the specific situation is."
"When I find out the details, we'll meet and talk in person."
"Okay. Thank you so much, Brother Pang."
Pang Longhai didn't stand on ceremony and hung up directly.
Chen Fan furrowed his brows. From Pang Longhai's words, he had a bad feeling.
The next day at noon, during lunch break, Chen Fan met Pang Longhai, who drove over, at a small restaurant.
As soon as they met, Pang Longhai got straight to the point.
"The situation is very difficult to handle. The studio your classmate ran wasn't small, with huge profits. It's considered one of the major achievements of this operation."
Chen Fan quickly asked: "He's only one of the partners, is it possible to..."
Pang Longhai raised his hand.
"Brother, let me give you a piece of advice, don't even think about it. He's definitely going to jail this time."
"Because yesterday he already confessed everything, and took all the responsibility upon himself."
"What?"
Chen Fan was stunned, with a dazed expression.
Brother Jie confessed?
And he took all the responsibility by himself?
This is impossible, right?
With Brother Jie's personality, he would be terrified of this kind of thing. How could he possibly take all the responsibility voluntarily?
Doesn't he know that doing this will result in a heavy sentence?
Chen Fan quickly looked at Pang Longhai, "How many people from their studio did the police arrest in total?"
"Just him!"
"Just him?"
Chen Fan was confused again.
What's going on?
How come only Brother Jie was arrested?
And what about the others?
Not to mention the dozens of employees in the studio.
What about Zhou Honghai?
According to the proportion of money invested, Zhou Honghai should be the actual owner of this studio, right?
Chen Fan suddenly felt that there must be something he didn't know about.
Otherwise, if Zhou Honghai and other employees could escape, with Brother Jie's sneaky personality, how could he not slip away?
Thinking of this, Chen Fan looked at Pang Longhai.
"Brother Pang, there's one more thing I want to ask of you."
"Can I see him?"
