Chapter 883 ·Interrogation

After finding the apartment key from home, Chen Fan drove with Su Ruochu back to the school.

As Chen Fan imagined, because no one had lived there for a long time, a thin layer of dust had settled in the room.

"Haven't you lived here since graduation?" Su Ruochu asked curiously.

Chen Fan suddenly remembered that he had only come once after graduation.

That time Wen Wan happened to be here.

This kind of thing was difficult to answer, so Chen Fan had to change the subject.

"The company is too far from here, and I'm usually too busy, basically don't have time to come over."

"This apartment has been almost idle, I'm thinking maybe I should sell it."

"Don't sell it!"

Su Ruochu suddenly spoke up.

"If you're not short on money, just keep it."

In her view, this apartment preserved the most beautiful memories of her time together with Chen Fan during university.

Chen Fan naturally understood Su Ruochu's thoughts. He nodded with a smile.

"Then I won't sell it."

The two of them got to work personally, each taking a cloth from the bathroom, and then started wiping the floor and furniture.

The room wasn't really dirty, just dusty from being uninhabited for so long.

Su Ruochu opened all the windows in every room, then stood on the balcony, happily gazing at the distant campus, seemingly reminiscing about that brief time when she lived here with Chen Fan.

Half an hour later, everyone else arrived.

As Chen Fan thought, these people all exclaimed with nostalgia as soon as they entered the apartment.

Everyone having dinner here tonight had visited Chen Fan's apartment during their school days.

Especially during the SARS campus lockdown period, Chen Fan's apartment became one of the few recreational places for the two dormitories.

Among them, Ma Xiaoshuai, Song Linlin, and Brother Ji visited most frequently.

During the time near graduation, these two guys often came over to play SUBOR games.

During dinner, Brother Ji specifically brought up this matter, asking Chen Fan if those game cartridges and console were still around.

If Chen Fan wasn't playing them anymore, he would take them when leaving.

Ma Xiaoshuai beside him joked: "I see you're like Xiang Zhuang performing the sword dance with eyes on Emperor Pei, you're not really after the game cartridges, you're clearly after Old Chen's box of discs."

At the mention of this, everyone's faces immediately turned embarrassingly red.

Even Chen Fan remembered.

Back then he bought a bunch of discs from street vendors, but when he played them for everyone, they turned out to be adult movies.

Brother Ji immediately retorted: "Someone who's about to get married should be more mature."

"Am I that kind of person? I just want to help Old Chen keep them safe."

"So many good films, all collector's editions, it would be such a waste if they were lost."

Su Ruochu blushed and glanced at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan quickly coughed.

"I listened to you last time and threw away the discs. But whether these two guys secretly retrieved them, I don't know."

"Damn! You traitor..."

"Haha..."

Everyone laughed, as nostalgic memories began floating through everyone's minds.

...

Provincial capital.

In a VIP presidential suite of a 5-star hotel.

There was a knock at the door.

Bai Ruoxue, who was standing at the desk reading, didn't look up.

"Come in."

The bodyguard opened the door and entered.

"Young Miss, we've brought the person."

"Let him in."

The bodyguard then stepped aside, leading in a person.

It was Zhou Honghai, whom Chen Fan knew.

After not seeing each other for several years, Zhou Honghai's appearance had changed greatly.

Unshaven, looking somewhat weathered and tired.

These years, he had been hiding alone, seeming to have developed paranoid delusions.

Although Chen Fan had long forgotten about Zhou Honghai, but these years whenever Zhou Honghai saw news about Chen Fan in the media or online, especially noticing that Chen Fan was becoming more powerful and wealthy, he became more afraid.

So he had been hiding these years, even being extremely cautious with work, fearing that Chen Fan would come seeking revenge.

However, while Chen Fan hadn't found him, today he was found by a group of strangers.

The bruises on his face indicated that Zhou Honghai probably hadn't come willingly.

He had resisted, but ultimately failed.

After cautiously examining Bai Ruoxue opposite him, Zhou Honghai nervously asked.

"Who are you?"

"I don't know you. Haven't you got the wrong person?"

No one answered.

After reading the last page, Bai Ruoxue slowly closed the book, then raised her head to look at Zhou Honghai.

Even sitting in the chair, her examining gaze at Zhou Honghai was still full of pressure, making people feel extremely stressed.

Finally, Bai Ruoxue spoke.

"I called you here today because I have a few questions to ask you."

Zhou Honghai was somewhat cautious.

"I don't know you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know me. You just need to answer my questions obediently."

"Why should I cooperate with you?"

Zhou Honghai stepped back, "Do you know this counts as coercion, if I call the police..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp dagger was already at his throat, Zhou Honghai was so scared his face instantly turned pale, not daring to move at all.

The bodyguard beside him said flatly: "Don't waste words. Just answer the questions."

Bai Ruoxue slowly raised her hand, picked up the coffee placed beside her and took a sip.

"First question. Do you know a person called Chen Fan?"

Zhou Honghai's expression instantly changed dramatically.

"You... who are you people? What's your relationship with Chen Fan?"

Bang!

The bodyguard threw a punch, Zhou Honghai crouched down in pain.

"Answer the question."

"I... I know Chen Fan."

"Very good."

"Second question. How did you and Chen Fan get to know each other?"

While Zhou Honghai was sucking in cold air from the pain, he secretly glanced at the bodyguard beside him.

The bright dagger in his hand kept probing, seeming ready to give him a cut at any moment.

Zhou Honghai didn't dare to gamble, so he had to answer the question.

"I... I opened a computer school back home at that time, he... he came to learn computers at my place..."

"Learn computers? So you're saying Chen Fan's computer skills for building Yuming.com were learned from you?"

Zhou Honghai looked at Bai Ruoxue in surprise, feeling a wave of panic in his heart.

Why does this woman know so much about Chen Fan.

She even knows about the domain name intranet matter.

The fact that Chen Fan founded Yuming.com was basically only circulated within a small business circle, apart from the few people involved.

Because the media reports at that time didn't directly name Chen Fan.

The fact that this woman could immediately mention Yuming.com proved that she really knew a lot about Chen Fan.

Zhou Honghai hesitated for a moment but still said: "No!"

Bai Ruoxue frowned: "You just said he came to your computer school to learn computers."

Zhou Honghai: "He paid money back then, but only used my computers to build websites, his skills were very good, he didn't need me to teach him."

Bai Ruoxue keenly caught the key point.

"So... before he came to your place, he had already mastered the technology to build websites?"
