After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 137 Taking the Initiative to Confess
The surveillance video provided by Weishengming is neither high-definition nor too blurry.

The basic facial features and body shape are captured clearly, making it easy for acquaintances to distinguish them.

After Chen Jin and Li Yi came in, they watched the surveillance video several times and shook their heads, indicating that they did not recognize the three people in the video.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanzhi didn't say anything, but instead told them that after they left, they could talk to the other employees in the department about the existence of the surveillance video and see how everyone reacted.

Although the police were doing their best to investigate, Shen Yanzhi did not give up on the efforts of his own people.

After Chen Jin and the others left, Chi Yu immediately came out from his hiding place.

When Shen Yanzhi saw the phone spirit appear, he felt a little uncomfortable thinking about how carefully it had hidden itself earlier. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it through the screen: "You don't need to hide next time, don't be afraid."

"Huh?" Chi Yu looked up: "Not dodging?"

“Yes, I won’t dodge.” Shen Yanzhi said seriously.

In his mind, the existence of the phone spirit has become a part of his life, a unique existence that he doesn't need to hide.

His act of taking a screenshot of Chi Yu and posting it in a small group chat of four people also silently indicated that Shen Yanzhi had already meticulously integrated his mobile phone into his life.

In his eyes, the phone spirit is someone who can live with him forever.

As long as his phone doesn't break, the phone spirit won't disappear.

As for the possibility that his phone might break one day... Shen Yanzhi refused to think about that possibility.

The news of the theft and sale of Shen's Group's patents has spread like wildfire online, and many of the company's shareholders have also learned about it, even calling Shen Yanzhi's office.

The Shen Group is a large and complex enterprise with a diverse group of shareholders.

Shen Yanzhi owns 25.7% of the shares, while Old Master Shen and other members of the Shen family hold a total of 32.1% of the shares. The remaining 42.2% of the shares are held by other investors and individual shareholders.

These shareholders rarely come to the company unless there is a shareholders' meeting or when something major happens to the company.

Shen Yanzhi received several phone calls, all from shareholders questioning him about the online issues. He didn't tolerate them and coldly rebuffed them.

Listening silently to Shen Yanzhi's cold and authoritative tone on the phone, Chi Yu suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the heavy responsibility he carried.

In addition to the shareholders, Shen Yanzhi's uncle, Shen Hongguo, also called.

On the surface, Shen Hongguo was using the pretense of caring about the company and Shen Yanzhi.

But in reality, his words were loaded with barbs, and even Chi Yu could sense the ill intent behind them.

Chi Yu rested her chin on her hand in deep thought. Could it be that Shen Hongguo was behind this?

However, Shen Hongguo holds 10% of the shares in the Shen Group. If the interests of the Shen Group are damaged, it will be tantamount to Shen Hongguo's own personal interests also being damaged.

Is Shen Hongguo really that stupid?

Before Chi Yu could figure it out, Shen Yan had just finished his call with Shen Hongguo when Shen Yuanzhong called.

Since signing that agreement after their falling out, Shen Yuanzhong has completely severed ties with Shen Yanzhi. As soon as the call connected, Shen Yuanzhong's cold laughter came through the phone: "Ha, nephew, look at the state you've left the company in! Even a patent that wasn't even publicly listed got stolen, and we didn't even know it was being sold for four months!"

"If you're not capable, you should step down as soon as possible. We're not giving you our money to play with!"

Shen Yuanzhong's words were full of malice.

“Four months ago, it seems that Uncle San hadn’t retired yet and was in a management position at the company. The patent was stolen, so in principle, Uncle San was also responsible.” Shen Yanzhi said calmly, “According to what Uncle San said, the salary the company paid you every month was a complete waste. I wonder when Uncle San will be able to return that salary.”

"You!" Shen Yuanzhong choked on his words, his tone defiant despite his lack of conviction: "You're running the company all by yourself now, what does it have to do with us! I'm making a phone call to check on the company's development, is that wrong? Does the old man know about your attitude?!"

"So that's what you meant, Uncle. I misunderstood you." Shen Yanzhi's expression suddenly softened.

Shen Yuanzhong looked smug, but before he could speak, he heard Shen Yanzhi say, "The police are already investigating this matter. Since Uncle San cares so much about the company, we'll leave the follow-up to him. I'm sure he won't let us down. We're waiting for the day he brings the three suspects to justice."

"???"

What do you mean?
Is Shen Yanzhi trying to get free labor from him?!
After realizing what was happening, Shen Yuanzhong immediately glared at him: "This is your business, don't leave it to me, I'm not doing it!"

"Third Uncle's so-called concern for the company is just a verbal questioning," Shen Yanzhi said calmly, returning Shen Yuanzhong's words to him: "Does the old man know?"

Shen Yuanzhong: "..."

Shen Yuanzhong was originally a hot-tempered person who was easily provoked, otherwise he wouldn't have called Shen Hongguo immediately after seeing him call Shen Yanzhi.

Because Shen Yuanzhong felt that what Shen Hongguo had said to Shen Yanzhi on the phone was too mild!

Unexpectedly, despite Shen Yanzhi's mismanagement being the cause of the patent theft and his supposed fault, he showed no remorse when confronted with his own questions.

He wasn't as eloquent as Shen Yanzhi, and he lost face for no reason.

Shen Yuanzhong was so angry that he hung up the phone.

"Could this patent theft be related to them?" Chi Yu frowned.

"Probably not." Shen Yanzhi shook his head. "My third uncle just called, and he was completely accusatory. If this matter is related to him, now that his goal has been achieved, given his outspoken nature, he'll probably feel a bit smug..."

Just as Shen Yanzhi was about to leave work, the police reported new developments: the identities of the three suspects in the surveillance footage were found by the police using a facial recognition system from the national ID card database.

Police are currently trying to contact them.

Shen Yanzhi sent the progress report to Chen Jin, Li Yi, and others.

Although Shen Yanzhi hasn't said how he'll punish them for this patent leak, Li Yi and Li Lihua know that Shen Yanzhi isn't refusing to punish them; it's just that the truth hasn't been investigated yet. Once it's found out which department was responsible, they'll definitely be criticized.

Each department in the company has its own small work group. After Shen Yanzhi informed them of the progress, Li Yi, Li Lihua, and others posted the message in the small group.

When it was time to leave work, Shen Yanzhi left the company as usual.

He took the elevator to the basement parking lot, and just as Shen Yanzhi was about to get into his car, a shadowy figure appeared behind him.
