Wen's online nickname is "Still the Strongest Overlord". In the online game "My Fantasy of Heroes", he established a gang called "Lawless", serving as the "Gang Leader". He used the phrase "many people follow my command" to fill the so-called sense of emptiness and seek "alternative satisfaction."

Afterwards, the anti-corruption department arrested him based on public reports.

According to the prosecutor's introduction, receiving bribes exceeding 100,000 yuan without circumstances for leniency such as voluntary surrender will result in a sentence of more than ten years in prison.

Recently, Wen was legally arrested by the Jiangdong District People's Procuratorate of Ningbo City on charges of accepting bribes.

Wen comes from a rural area. In 1993, he entered a key university in Nanjing with a score exceeding Tsinghua University's admission line by over ten points. After entering the workforce, he became an outstanding talent in professional skills at his workplace.

However, due to an unfavorable career path combined with his originally arrogant personality, he began using online games to numb himself.

Times News: Born into a poor family, he excelled academically to enter a key university, then worked as a civil servant in a certain agency in Ningbo after graduation. In the eyes of others, Wen can be considered a successful case of changing one's fate through knowledge. However, due to an unfavorable career path and his originally arrogant personality, he sought the "one call, hundred responses" satisfaction in online games, eventually accepting over 300,000 yuan in bribes, all used to purchase game cards and upgrade game equipment.

Because of concerns about being reported, Wen felt less secure and became even more addicted to online games. The previously non-smoking, non-drinking Wen gradually took up smoking and drinking. Over the years, Wen himself felt that his health had deteriorated significantly, with issues arising in his cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae.

According to investigations by the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Bureau of the Jiangdong District People's Procuratorate, between 2002 and 2008, Wen used his public authority in managing construction projects to seek benefits for project contractors. Under the pretext of "having helped out and exerted effort," he actively solicited money from relevant personnel, accumulating over 300,000 yuan in bribes. These funds were mainly used to purchase game cards and upgrade equipment for online games like "My Fantasy of Heroes."

Wen's annual salary was around 80,000 yuan, requiring him to pay over 3,000 yuan per month for his mortgage along with other daily expenses, making his life not particularly affluent. After receiving these "ill-gotten gains," he frequently purchased dozens of 100-yuan game cards at a time.
