Chapter 1263: 873 being brothers, is in the heart

The word "brotherhood" is starting to roll off the tongue easily for some people, even to the point of becoming worthless, but for certain individuals, it still holds significant meaning.

After a quick meal, Jiang Chen and Fang Qing walked out of Tie Jun’s barbecue shop.

"You head back first."

Jiang Chen spoke.

For sure, there’s no leaving today.

"What about you?"

"I’m going to see Fu Zili."

Jiang Chen said frankly.

There’s nothing to hide, and with Fang Qing’s intelligence, it wouldn’t stay hidden anyway.

"Do you think going to the police station is like visiting a zoo? You can’t just enter whenever you want."

"He’s just in detention now, and even if he were in prison, you could still visit, right?"

Jiang Chen instinctively argued. He may not be as professional as Qing Mei, but haven’t you ever seen a pig run even if you haven’t eaten pork?

He still knew the basics.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. If they don’t want you to see him, the police station has countless reasons to refuse you."

"Dead rules and living people" could mean that?

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

Looks like being a lawyer means not only understanding the law but also understanding human relationships.

"I’ll go with you; they won’t be able to stop us."

Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and nodded.

Fang Qing’s lawyer’s badge is indeed handy in this situation.

The two of them took a taxi to the West Gate Police Station where Fu Zili was being detained.

Sure enough, with Fang Qing leading the way, Jiang Chen successfully got to see his childhood friend behind the bars.

"Why are you back?"

Seeing Jiang Chen, Fu Zili was also surprised.

"Don’t overthink it, it’s a coincidence. I originally planned to leave today, but my plans got disrupted."

Jiang Chen spoke unemotionally.

Fu Zili grinned and glanced at Fang Qing beside him, "I told Junzi not to say anything."

Although he was in a predicament, his mental state wasn’t faltering. At most, it seemed he hadn’t rested well inside, looking a bit tired.

That’s true.

For someone like him, even if he doesn’t treat the place as home, his adaptability to such environments is surely stronger than that of the average person.

"Are you going to wait till you’re in prison to tell us to come and see you?"

"It’s not that serious."

Fu Zili maintained a good mindset, fairly optimistic, saying casually, "You guys don’t have to worry; I’ll be out in a few days."

He ended up comforting Jiang Chen and Fang Qing instead.

"You’ve been in here for two days already, right? If you were going to get out, you would have been out by now."

Jiang Chen stated bluntly, though it wasn’t pleasant, it was sharp and to the point.

In situations like this, either you wouldn’t get caught at all, or it’s just procedure after entering.

Having stayed for two days, the signal is clear enough.

Fu Zili’s expression turned slightly stiff, remaining silent.

"Is your boss using you as a scapegoat?"

Jiang Chen inquired.

"No."

Fu Zili immediately denied, "If it wasn’t for my boss causing trouble, I wouldn’t be here."

"Tie Jun said the reason for your detention is that during inspection they found paid companionship in your venue."

Fang Qing opened her mouth, as if not seeing Fu Zili’s awkward expression, speaking calmly, "Is what he said true?"

Before others, or even in front of his own family, Fu Zili might not have any reservations.

These days, making money is the king.

But Fang Qing is an exception.

After all, she was the girl he had a crush on when he was young.

Under the last bit of residual shame, Fu Zili turned away, avoiding Fang Qing’s gaze, and said nothing.

"If they’re really going to prosecute you, we need to understand the situation clearly so Fang Qing can defend you, right?" Jiang Chen joked.

Have to admit, grown up playing together, their mindsets are quite alike; they’re both quite positive.

"I’ll find my own lawyer."

"Don’t trust Fang Qing?"

"That’s not what I mean."

He simply didn’t want to tarnish Fang Qing’s reputation.

"Looks like what Tie Jun said is true then."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen said.

Fu Zili clenched his teeth and couldn’t help but say, "It’s not what you think, after I went out for training last year and came back, I made the adjustments, all the venues I manage are aiming for a high-end route, eliminating flesh trade, but as you know, in these venues, certain behaviors are inevitable."

"If it’s just like that, the problem isn’t very serious." Fang Qing chimed in.

"There aren’t major problems to begin with."

Having said this much, there’s no need for further concealment, Fu Zili’s face showed a hint of resentment.

"The reason this issue arose is that someone took advantage of the situation and intentionally set me up."

It’s not his first day in The Jianghu; it shouldn’t have been so easy to catch his mistake.

Jiang Chen remembered back in elementary or junior high school, when everyone was horsing around in the classroom, there was always someone scouting for teachers to warn them in time.

Fu Zili, being an old hand in these circles, had become a prominent figure in Sha City; how could he not understand this basic principle?

"Who set you up?"

"The owner of Golden Coast, Fan Dehan."

Fu Zili replied without hesitation, evidently well aware of the instigator.

"What’s Golden Coast?"

Jiang Chen obviously didn’t know.

"An entertainment venue."

Fang Qing explained quite simply.

Even she had heard of it, the reputation of Golden Coast was quite evident.

"How do you know he’s the one targeting you?"

Jiang Chen continued to ask.

"There’s no one else apart from this Fan Dehan. In Sha City, it’s mainly the two of us competing. After I shifted towards high-end, my business has been improving, and guests prefer to come to my places for entertainment. Seeing that he couldn’t compete, he resorted to such underhanded means."

So it fundamentally comes down to this.

Is this considered a business rivalry?
