Chen Shoufu's guarantee letter: "In November 2002, I voluntarily published a statement on my own website and removed the QQ modified version from the homepage. Hereby, I make a guarantee to continue closing the download service of the modified version of QQ software on my website, delete the content related to the modified software version, stop spreading it, and will not make any modifications to Tencent QQ software in the future."
Ignoring others' warnings, Chen Shoufu, the developer of the QQ "Coral Bug" version, finally tasted the bitter fruit brought by his arrogance.
On August 16, 2007, the industry suddenly found that Coral Bug's official website began to be inaccessible, and Chen Shoufu, the owner of the Coral Bug studio, also disappeared. Neither his colleagues in the studio nor his friends knew where Chen Shoufu had gone! For a time, speculations were rife in the industry.
Amidst the constant doubts, a video circulating online on September 28 revealed the whereabouts of Chen Shoufu - he had been detained by the Shenzhen police. Although there was skepticism about the authenticity of this video, the broadcast of "The Moth to the Flame Coral Bug" on Shenzhen Television's Public Channel confirmed its authenticity. It was then that the industry realized that Chen Shoufu had been arrested by the police.
