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

Chapter 164 The Pan Family's Concealment

Before Pan Pengze could come over and kneel down, Shen Yanzhi had already stood up.

He didn't help Pan Baosheng, who was kneeling on the ground, but walked to the side, avoiding the kneeling of Pan Baosheng and his son, and slowly said, "I've been waiting here for so long, not to watch you two put on a show."

Pan Baosheng's expression froze.

The other members of the Pan family behind him, who had originally wanted to kneel down and beg Shen Yanzhi for forgiveness, all froze in place, unsure of what to do.

“Even if you want to reconcile, you have to follow the procedures. What kind of talk is this, making a scene in the police station?” Officer Lu spoke up at the right moment: “Go to the reception room next door, so as not to disturb the other people.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yanzhi was the first to walk towards the reception room next door.

With Shen Yanzhi gone, there was no point in Pan Baosheng continuing to kneel on the ground, so he stood up with a sullen face.

The Pan brothers whispered to each other, "Second brother, this boss doesn't seem very approachable. What should we do?"

What Pan Pengze did was so unexpected that even his family was unaware of it.

On their way here, they discussed it all the way and came up with this terrible idea of ​​kneeling down and begging Shen Yanzhi for forgiveness.

They had originally thought that as long as they swallowed their pride and knelt before Shen Yanzhi, he wouldn't be so shameless as to actually send Pan Pengze to the police station.

They had a good plan, but when they actually saw Shen Yan, the Pan family members were all stunned by his calm, aloof indifference.

They had originally thought that after Pan Baosheng knelt down, Shen Yanzhi would surely help him up, and then all of them would kneel down together, begging Shen Yanzhi to agree to a reconciliation... But to their surprise, the other party was aloof and indifferent, and did not care at all about Pan Baosheng's kneeling.

This makes it seem like Pan Baosheng is asking a difficult question.

Pan Baosheng had long known that Shen Yanzhi was not an easy opponent, and his heart sank.

If the sob story didn't work, then the rest of the Pan family wouldn't be of any use either. Pan Baosheng told the other relatives to wait outside, while he and Pan Pengze followed the police officers inside.

Shen Yanzhi was already seated. His gaze swept over Pan Pengze, who was trembling with fear, and he said businesslike, "Tell me what exactly happened."

Shen Yanzhi had to admit that when he saw that the culprit was actually a coward, all his previous guesses vanished in an instant.

His long, slender fingers touched his phone.

The other party probably didn't know about the existence of the phone spirit.

The police had already gathered conclusive evidence. After Pan Baosheng couldn't help but kick him, Pan Pengze trembled, swallowed hard, and revealed his motive for sending someone to steal Shen Yanzhi's phone: "Mr. Shen, I was the one who stole your phone."

Pan Pengze is 26 years old this year and has been staying at home since graduating from university.

The Pan family was wealthy, and Pan Pengze never thought of going out to work. He only wanted to learn from his father and start his own business. However, he failed several times. He not only lost all the start-up capital Pan Baosheng gave him, but also squandered all the money given to him by his mother and grandparents.

In the past two or three years, it would be an exaggeration to say that Pan Pengze has accomplished nothing.

Pan Baosheng only had one son, Pan Pengze, so naturally he placed high hopes on him.

After Pan Pengze's repeated failed investments and ventures, Pan Baosheng was inevitably somewhat disappointed.

Until six months ago, Pan Pengze failed again—no, it couldn't even be called a failure, it was a complete misfortune. After being swindled out of three million yuan by someone using a shell company, Pan Pengze finally couldn't hold back anymore, and the father and son had a big fight.

Pan Baosheng felt that if Pan Pengze continued to squander money like this, all the family's wealth would be gone.

The father and son had a particularly bad argument that time.

It wasn't until two whole months later that their relationship gradually improved.

However, this was only Pan Baosheng's opinion; he thought that once the father and son reconciled, the matter would be over. But in Pan Pengze's heart, there was always a lingering unease.

Pan Baosheng himself probably didn't realize that he particularly liked to use Shen Yanzhi as a benchmark and compare himself to Pan Pengze. During the years he stayed at home, Pan Pengze didn't know how many times his father had said that his father always praised Shen Yanzhi, but always belittled him.

Even during that argument, Pan Baosheng kept bringing up his relationship with Shen Yanzhi.

Shen Yanzhi took control of the Shen Group at the age of 24 and became a business celebrity by the age of 26.

He, on the other hand, was utterly useless, a complete spendthrift.

The belittling and ridicule from his biological father were like sharp blades, piercing deep into Pan Pengze's heart.

Pan Pengze couldn't bring himself to hate his father, so he turned his hatred to Shen Yanzhi.

But he didn't dare do anything to Shen Yanzhi; Pan Pengze didn't have the guts to commit murder or arson.

So, the idea of ​​stealing Shen Yanzhi's phone came to mind.

To this end, he planned for half a month in advance and carefully chose a crowded occasion such as a business seminar, just to have Shen Yanzhi's phone stolen in public and embarrass him in front of everyone.

In this way, when Pan Baosheng praises Shen Yanzhi in front of him in the future, saying how perfect and outstanding Shen Yanzhi is, he can retort: ​​Shen Yanzhi can't even keep an eye on his own phone.

Shen Yanzhi: "..."

Chi Yu: "..."

Police officers present: "..."

Pan Baosheng covered his eyes with his hands, too ashamed to look at his troublesome son.

"That's it?" Officer Lu looked like he was questioning his own existence.

His career has been long, and he has occasionally encountered some bizarre criminals, but Pan Pengze's criminal motives have once again refreshed his understanding.

Officer Lu glanced at Pan Pengze, then at the statements taken from Cheng Xiaozhuo and the other two, and for some reason, felt that something was off.

Pan Pengze lowered his head and rubbed his hands together: "...Hmm."

Although Pan Baosheng also didn't want this son, he still had to help him clean up the mess.

He brazenly looked at Shen Yanzhi: "President Shen, it's all my fault for not teaching him well. He hasn't worked since graduation, otherwise he wouldn't have been swindled out of several million yuan two or three years after graduation... I used you as an example before because I really thought you were very capable, and I would have been satisfied if he could learn even a little bit from you, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn..."

"But I asked him, and he didn't actually intend to steal your phone. He planned to return it to you the next day."

Shen Yanzhi hesitated to respond, so Pan Baosheng sighed and then brought up the matter of reconciliation again.

Chi Yu watched the whole thing, her gaze shifting between Pan Baosheng's anxious, ingratiating face and the fearful, uneasy Pan Pengze.

Pan Pengze kept his head down, avoiding eye contact with everyone, looking as if he already knew he was wrong.

But Chi Yu felt that something was wrong.

If things are truly as the father and son say, even without a reconciliation with Shen Yanzhi, Pan Pengze's punishment under the law won't be too severe. This is because the incident hasn't brought serious consequences for Shen Yanzhi.

Was Pan Baosheng's reaction a bit too alarming?

The thought had barely crossed Chi Yu's mind when she heard Shen Yanzhi's voice:

"Is this really all you did?"

　Goodnight, goodnight. I won't be updating after midnight anymore, so please don't wait for updates at night.
