Chapter 460: No Matter How Much It Costs, I'll Pay!
Chen Fan sat in his seat, feeling uneasy.
Usually, Luo Wenjie seemed carefree and frivolous, but unexpectedly, at this critical moment, he made a decision that surprised everyone.
No matter how you look at it, Brother Jie could be considered a real man.
Seeing Chen Fan not speaking, Luo Wenjie forced a light laugh.
"Brother Fan, you shouldn't think too much about it. The reason I'm taking this on alone isn't entirely for the sake of brotherhood."
"I still have my own little agenda."
"I'm not cut out for business, but I'm not stupid."
"I can see that you're different from the rest of us. You're destined for success in this life."
"Old Luo's greatest luck in this life was being assigned to the same dorm room as you, Brother Fan."
"If I butter you up now, even if I take the fall alone and go to jail, so what?"
"As long as you're okay, when I get out, you won't let me starve, right? You can't just watch me starve to death in this lifetime."
These words made Chen Fan crack a smile.
"Brother Jie, when you get out, don't bother with that lousy studio of yours anymore. Come work with me."
"I'll ensure you live a life of luxury and wealth for the rest of your days."
Luo Wenjie immediately brightened up.
"You said it yourself, and I'm taking it seriously."
"See? The payoff has already come!"
"This decision I made was worth it!"
They looked at each other and both laughed.
Chen Fan glanced at the police officer standing guard behind Luo Wenjie and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else you need to take care of? I'll handle it!"
Luo Wenjie thought for a moment and said:
"The studio probably won't be able to continue operating. But the few dozen brothers in the studio are pretty good."
"I don't understand the technical side, most of them were recruited by Zhou Honghai and are closest to him."
"However, I'm more generous than Zhou Honghai, and over time I've developed trust with about a dozen employees."
"I won't worry about the others, but for these dozen or so employees, I hope Brother Fan can help look after them."
Chen Fan nodded, "Alright. I'll arrange it."
"Zhou Honghai..."
Luo Wenjie shook his head.
"Forget it. Let him be. Brother Fan, don't go looking for trouble with him either."
"I suspect that coward has already run off with the money."
"After all, we worked together. We're no longer brothers from now on."
"Brother Fan, you must promise me. Let this matter end here with him."
Chen Fan was silent for two seconds, then nodded.
"Okay! I promise you."
"Then there's the group of internet brigades I have."
"Once I'm in, without a leader, I'm worried they'll scatter."
Luo Wenjie lowered his voice and said, "There are two people, one called Xing San, and one called Ah Qiang. They're my confidants."
"They usually help me manage this group."
"Brother Fan, help me meet them once, tell them to continue managing this internet brigade for me, and the money... I'll trouble you to give them a bit on my behalf for now."
"These two are tough characters, but don't give them too much money, just 10,000 yuan each is enough."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll keep this group of trolls for you, and hand them back to you intact when you get out."
"There's one more thing..."
Luo Wenjie paused, then continued.
"In the master bedroom of my rented apartment, there's a shoebox under the wardrobe, with two bank cards under the insole."
"I think most of the money has probably been seized by the police, I don't know if those two cards are still there."
"If they're still there, give the card with 300,000 yuan in deposits to my parents."
"The other card with 100,000 yuan, give it to Li Jiao. We were in a relationship, consider it my compensation to her."
"Tell her that this man is going to jail, and she shouldn't wait for me anymore."
Chen Fan nodded with a smile.
"Alright. I didn't expect you to be so thorough. You've thought of both your parents and your girlfriend."
Luo Wenjie grinned. He was about to say something when the police officer reminded them:
"Visiting time is up. It's time to go."
Luo Wenjie nodded and stood up.
Chen Fan remained seated, watching Luo Wenjie leave.
At the entrance of the police station, Ma Xiaoshuai and the others were pacing back and forth anxiously.
"He's out."
Seeing Chen Fan come out, they immediately surrounded him.
"How is it?"
Chen Fan looked at everyone and said:
"He's doing okay. He told everyone not to worry."
Wu Di asked in a low voice, "Is it really so serious that he has to go to jail?"
Chen Fan sighed, then looked at Ma Xiaoshuai.
"You take everyone back first. I still have some things to do."
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't ask further, immediately calling everyone to get in the car and leave.
Chen Fan walked across the street and got into Pang Longhai's car.
"How was it? Did you see him?"
"Yes. Brother Pang, shall we find a place to eat?"
"I owe you a big favor this time, I should at least show my appreciation, otherwise I'll feel uneasy."
Pang Longhai chuckled, "Come on. There's no need to be so formal between us."
"Let's skip the meal. I have to go back to work later."
Chen Fan thought for a moment, then asked somewhat reluctantly:
"Is there really no other way?"
Pang Longhai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This operation was supervised by the city. It's basically impossible to get out of it unscathed."
Just as Chen Fan was feeling hopeless, Pang Longhai suddenly added:
"However..."
"If we can do something about the sentence length."
Chen Fan's eyes immediately lit up.
Pang Longhai explained, "Your classmate's case, it's both big and small, mainly depending on the attitude of those above."
"If you're willing to spend money, I can help you smooth things over a bit."
"Although jail time is unavoidable, we could try to make the sentence as short as possible."
Chen Fan didn't hesitate.
"That's fine. No matter how much it costs, I'm willing to pay."
Pang Longhai looked at Chen Fan and nodded.
"Alright, with your attitude, I'll give it a try."
"But you should be prepared, I can't guarantee 100% success."
Chen Fan grinned, "I believe Brother Pang will definitely find a way."
"You always bring me these troublesome matters."
After getting out of the car and watching Pang Longhai leave, Chen Fan fell into deep thought.
He felt that Luo Wenjie's predicament was somewhat like being implicated because of him.
If it wasn't for his appearance, Brother Jie might still be that carefree college student living day by day.
He wouldn't have sold cheats, wouldn't have opened a studio to run private servers.
The four years of college would have passed peacefully.
It was because of his appearance that led to Luo Wenjie's current situation.
The more Chen Fan thought about it this way, the more he felt he had let Brother Jie down.
Moreover, this time Brother Jie had taken all the blame to protect his secret.
No matter what, this favor was too great.
In this matter, no matter what, he was willing to do his utmost to help Brother Jie seek a good outcome.
It's just money, right?
He really didn't care about that.
