Chapter 165 The truth comes out
As soon as Shen Yanzhi finished speaking, the expressions of the Pan father and son changed drastically. Pan Pengze, in particular, turned as pale as a sheet and his legs trembled like a sieve.

"President Shen, what do you mean by that?" Pan Baosheng still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Shen Yanzhi frowned: "Wasn't it your son who did the patent issue last time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thud was heard from the side.

Everyone turned to look, only to see that Pan Pengze's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Officer Lu understood immediately and said to the Pan father and son, "What else are you hiding? Tell us all right now."

Pan Baosheng looked ashen-faced, his lips trembled, and he instantly aged ten years.

The Pan father and son quickly recounted the entire story.

In fact, Pan Pengze was not lying. He had someone steal Shen Yanzhi's phone because he wanted to see Shen Yanzhi make a fool of himself.

What he didn't make clear was that he was also involved in the previous patent leak incident involving the Shen Group.

Six months ago, after a big argument with Pan Baosheng over the three million, Pan Pengze harbored resentment towards Shen Yanzhi and thus meticulously planned the patent resale.

In addition to bribing people and illegally selling patents in the early stages, Pan Pengze also hired a lot of online trolls, just waiting for the leak of Shen's patents to be exposed.

In Pan Pengze's plan, after the patent was leaked, and with the help of online trolls, Shen Yanzhi's reputation and ability would inevitably be questioned by the public, and his reputation would collapse.

As a result, the online trolls barely had a chance to make an impact before the comment section was controlled.

It seems that this matter has no impact on Shen Yanzhi.

Pan Pengze was initially scared, but after Shen Yanzhi called the police, they still couldn't find him.

Pan Pengze then planned the theft of Shen Yanzhi's phone.

He thought this time would be just as foolproof as last time, but to his surprise, the people he hired were caught within minutes of making their move.

Pan Baosheng only learned that Pan Pengze had done such audacious things behind his back after the police arrived at his door and Pan Pengze frantically confessed to him!
After discovering that the police had come to their door only because Shen Yanzhi's phone had been stolen, the father and son decided to secretly keep quiet about Pan Pengze hiring someone to sell the Shen Group's patents.

Pan Baosheng was well aware that even if Shen Yanzhi did not forgive him for the stolen phone, Pan Pengze would not be severely punished according to the law.

But Pan Pengze was afraid; he didn't want to stay in the police station any longer, not even just be detained.

That's how Pan Baosheng swallowed his pride and begged Shen Yanzhi for a private settlement.

However, neither of them expected that Shen Yanzhi would bypass the police and learn that Pan Pengze was involved in the case of the stolen patents of the Shen Group.

Originally, this was something that only Pan Pengze did, but Pan Baosheng chose to cover it up for him and actively confused everyone's behavior, which led to him being convicted of harboring a criminal by the police.

The father and son were taken to other interrogation rooms for separate interrogations.

The police station that received Chen Jin's report about the patent leak from Shen's company was not the one that is now. After questioning Shen Yanzhi, Officer Lu immediately contacted his colleagues in other police stations who were in charge of the case.

The rest of the Pan family were waiting in the outer hall. They saw that Pan Baosheng and his son had been handcuffed and were being escorted to the back by the police.

The Pan family was greatly puzzled and immediately started making a scene, but they were quickly silenced by several police officers.

Shen Yanzhi took out his phone and called Chen Jin, asking him to immediately send a legal team to follow up on the matter.

When Shen Yanzhi finished his call and went outside, the Pan family members were no longer in the hall.

After greeting Officer Lu, Shen Yanzhi quietly left the police station with his phone in hand.

It wasn't until Shen Yanzhi returned to the car that Chi Yu asked him curiously, "How did you know that Pan Pengze was related to the company's patent leak?"

Shen Yanzhi was almost inseparable from her every day. He didn't let her get involved in the matter, and the police station couldn't find anything out either.

Shen Yanzhi actually guessed that it was him just by knowing that Pan Pengze had someone steal his phone.

Shen Yanzhi relaxed slightly, leaning back in the driver's seat. Seeing the question about the dough figurine on his phone, he didn't hide it: "I guessed."

Chi Yu was startled: "You guessed?"

“Hmm.” Shen Yanzhi patiently explained to her, “I read Cheng Xiaozhuo’s statement. According to Cheng Xiaozhuo, after he took on this job, Pan Pengze reminded him more than once to leave Beijing overnight after stealing the phone and live in a remote town for a while, or go to Guangxi Province and smuggle himself to other small countries nearby to avoid trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu suddenly remembered that those three bastards who sold Shen Yanzhi's company's patents had gone abroad to avoid trouble!
The preparation method is exactly the same!
Although the country has comprehensive laws and strict systems, criminal suspects who have fled the country must still be dealt with according to international law and the legal systems of other countries. In short... it's very troublesome.

Pan Pengze got a little cocky because he felt the police hadn't traced his first offense.

Chi Yu couldn't help but comment, "This person is so stupid."

She had just witnessed Pan Pengze's behavior; he was a coward who, under the excessive protection of his parents, had no respect for the law.

Chi Yu couldn't understand how someone with such a fragile mental resilience could have attacked Shen Yanzhi twice in a row and succeeded!
He succeeded in getting the patent.

If it weren't for Chi Yu, he would have succeeded in getting his phone stolen.

Chi Yu couldn't quite understand it.

Seeing that the phone spirit had the same idea as him, Shen Yanzhi smiled slightly. "Let's see in a couple of days. There might be other unexpected things." Chi Yu: ...Huh? There's more?

Because of Shen Yanzhi's words, Chi Yu paid close attention to this matter for the next two days.

The police officers did not disappoint Chi Yu at all in their efficiency. On the afternoon of the third day, Chen Jin presented a document from Shen's legal team.

Unlike the previous verbal statements from the Pan family father and son, the document submitted by the legal team was as detailed as a case file.

On the pristine white A4 paper, the entire details of Pan Pengze's two crimes were clearly recorded.

In the past two days, relying on Pan Pengze's confession, the police successfully arrested other criminal accomplices.

Apart from the three suspects who had fled the country, all the other accomplices were apprehended.

But both Chi Yu and Shen Yanzhi's gazes fell on a man named Lü Chunwen.

According to Pan Pengze's account, the idea for him to steal and sell Shen's patents came from Lü Chunwen. Even the three men's decision to immediately flee the country after committing the crime was instructed by Lü Chunwen.

It can be said that Lü Chunwen played the role of a strategist in Pan Pengze's criminal activities.

After Pan Pengze confessed everything, the police arrested Lü Chunwen in his hometown.

Lu Chunwen was Pan Pengze's college classmate. The two forged a deep friendship during their four years of college, and the friendship continued even after graduation.

In the two years since graduation, Lü Chunwen has stayed by Pan Pengze's side. The two have a very good relationship, and Pan Pengze trusts him completely.

However, Lu Chunwen seemed to treat Pan Pengze well. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Pan Pengze's plan, the beautiful girl who deliberately bumped into Xi Xiaofan, stole the data from Xi Xiaofan's computer, and then disappeared quickly was actually Lu Chunwen's younger sister, Lu Chunhua!

Chi Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. What on earth was going on?

"There's another one after this, let's see what comes next."

She urged Shen Yanzhi to turn the page.

Shen Yanzhi reached out and removed the top A4 sheet, revealing the bottom A4 sheet, which was also covered in black writing.

One person, one phone, continue reading.

After being apprehended by the police, Lu Chunwen and his sister did not resist at all and confessed to what they had done to help Pan Pengze.

According to Lu Chunwen and his sister, they decided to help Pan Pengze because they had a good relationship with him, and there was no other reason.

However, Shen's top-notch legal team discovered that Lü Chunwen and Pan Pengze were actually half-brothers.

In his early years, when Pan Baosheng had just entered the real estate industry and was not yet a nouveau riche but just a small contractor, Lü Chunwen's mother was Pan Baosheng's girlfriend.

Later, for fame and fortune, Pan Baosheng married Pan Pengze's mother, but he did not break up with Lu Chunwen's mother and maintained a secret relationship.

It wasn't until Pan Pengze's mother discovered this that she went to Lu Chunwen's mother's place to cause trouble. Pan Baosheng didn't stand with Lu Chunwen's mother and just watched as she was driven away.

Lu Chunwen's mother later discovered that she was pregnant and that the child in her womb was Lu Chunwen.

When Lü Chunwen was thirteen, his mother fell seriously ill. Before she passed away, she pointed to the seemingly respectable Pan Baosheng on her phone and told Lü Chunwen about his background.

The information uncovered by the legal team shows that before entering university, Lü Chunwen had already done many part-time jobs in some of Pan's shops.

And that concludes the discussion.

Chi Yu never expected that behind these two incidents lay an old, unresolved matter.

She couldn't help but chat with Shen Yanzhi: "So, Lü Chunwen was actually doing it on purpose? He's actually been keeping an eye on the Pan family all along? To avenge his mother?"

Shen Yanzhi: "Whether it is or not, only he himself knows the truth."

Chi Yu nodded, "That's true."

After all, when Lu Chunwen was interrogated by the police, he firmly stated that he did this entirely to help Pan Pengze.

Was Lü Chunwen speaking from the heart, or was he saying this to get Pan Pengze a harsher sentence?

Only he himself knows the truth.

After the police have thoroughly investigated the case, it will be transferred to the court for trial and judgment. Shen Yanzhi's legal team will play an important role in the process.

Shen Yanzhi didn't need to do any of this himself; he just needed to wait for the results.

The Pan family tried to make peace with Shen Yanzhi several times, but Shen refused each time.

"How pitiful." Chi Yu sighed and looked up at Shen Yanzhi.

She had previously thought that the patent leak was a deliberate attempt by a business competitor to target the Shen Group.

Unexpectedly, this young and promising CEO was also part of someone else's revenge plan for their mother...
