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

Chapter 157 The Cellphone Demon's Temporary Exodus

Shen Yanzhi gripped his phone tightly, searching for it relentlessly. He even left the monitoring room and walked alone to the end of the corridor, calling out softly to the phone spirit.

He hoped it had been frightened and hid, rather than simply disappearing.

Shen Yanzhi frowned.

His life has not been entirely smooth sailing, but he has always overcome the hardships and setbacks he has encountered.

After becoming president, Shen Yanzhi had to make many decisions every day, including successful and unsuccessful projects.

He had never felt regret or remorse for his actions before, until this time, when Shen Yanzhi experienced both of these intertwined emotions simultaneously.

Sun Shunan and Xing Yong were also in the monitoring room, searching for Cheng Xiaozhuo with the police officers.

Shen Yanzhi returned to the monitoring room with a cold face, grabbed Sun Shunan and Xing Yong and asked them what they had done with their phones.

Even when extremely angry, Shen Yanzhi remained rational and did not let his emotions control him.

Little did he know that his expressionless, dignified demeanor was, in the eyes of Sun Shunan and Xing Yong, more terrifying than those who were adept at venting their emotions.

Sun Shunan hurriedly stated that he had never touched Shen Yanzhi's phone.

He was caught before Xing Yong could hand him over, and he was beaten for no reason!

Xing Yong raised both hands to indicate that although he touched Shen Yanzhi's phone, he did nothing else with it except turn it off.

"After Cheng Xiaozhu stole your phone, he immediately handed it over to me. I saw that the phone was still on, and I was afraid it would be tracked, so I turned it off."

Xing Yong carefully recalled the situation at the time, fearing that Shen Yanzhi would blame them for the broken phone.

They already had a vague idea that they had stolen from a powerful figure they couldn't easily mess with.

Xing Yong thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "It must be the woman who knocked me out! She deliberately waited for me in the stairwell beforehand and snatched your phone. She's the one who damaged your phone!"

Xing Yong recalled the whole process of seeing Chi Yu and being subdued by Chi Yu. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed that Chi Yu was alone in the stairwell at that time.

They only took the job to make some money. They didn't want to end up losing a lot of money instead.

Shen Yanzhi's cold and sharp gaze swept across the two men's faces. Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, he took two steps back, nodded slightly towards the monitoring screen, and signaled the two men to continue looking for the person in front of the monitor.

Shen Yanzhi felt that Xing Yong was probably not lying to him. The reason he turned off his phone was exactly the same as Shen Yanzhi had previously guessed.

However, Shen Yanzhi did not believe Xing Yong's attempts to shift the blame onto Chi Yu.

Shen Yanzhi was more inclined to believe that the phone spirit sensed danger after discovering that his phone had been stolen and took refuge away from the phone.

The phone spirit also ran away once before.

It stated at the time that it could briefly escape via Wi-Fi.

But it will eventually return to his phone.

Shen Yanzhi's emotions suddenly calmed down. He lowered his eyes and stared at his phone, like a patient hunter waiting for his prey to appear.

The people in the monitoring room suddenly noticed that Shen Yanzhi, who had been very concerned about the case, suddenly became indifferent to the surveillance video and instead focused intently on his phone.

And he held the phone, but only left the screen lit up; he didn't use it for anything else.

Without Shen Yanzhi supervising them, Xing Yong and Sun Shunan were actually more efficient at reviewing the surveillance footage with the help of several police officers.

Manager Wang, who was standing to the side, wanted to go over and check on Shen Yanzhi, but when he thought about how the hotel was largely responsible for the loss of Shen Yanzhi's phone and the recent power outage, he chickened out and acted like a coward.

A few minutes later, Shen Yanzhi, who had been expressionless, suddenly stirred.

No one knows what he saw, but his originally cold and deep black eyes suddenly became bright and sparkling, like a calm pool of water suddenly having a small stone thrown in, causing ripples to spread.

Shen Yanzhi took his phone and walked out of the monitoring room.

　good night!
