Chapter 174 Going to the Police Station to Give a Statement

After seeing the trending topics online, Chi Yu finally understood why Su Chengyan had said that even if Sheng Qiming found his daughter, Chen Jiazhi would not be a benefactor to the Sheng family.

Sheng Qiming's daughter, originally named Sheng Yan, was abducted by her stepmother and human traffickers when she was six years old. Over the course of eighteen years, she was sold five times, and her name was changed repeatedly. In the end, she became known as the "madwoman" in the village.

When Sheng Qiming's men and the police found her, she was tied up in a pigsty. Although she was only twenty-four years old, her face was withered, her hands and feet were thin as sticks, and she looked older than a person in their thirties or forties.

When she saw the stranger approaching, her eyes were filled with terror. She cowered in the corner, only able to make muffled whimpering sounds for a long time.

As soon as the paternity test results came out, Sheng Qiming had the buyer's house smashed up and then took Sheng Yan away alone.

The entire family that bought Sheng Yan's house was taken into custody by the police, and even the village officials were summoned to the police station for investigation.

After the media exposed the incident, the police quickly issued a statement confirming its authenticity.

After being rescued, Sheng Yan was taken to the best hospital in Beijing by Sheng Qiming for treatment that same day. Passersby and media outlets released a video showing Sheng Yan being pushed into the hospital in a wheelchair. Netizens were outraged upon seeing Sheng Yan's pitiful condition.
"My God?! Twenty-four years old?! You could easily be believed to be fifty!"

"No, no, no, look, all her teeth have fallen out. My grandma is seventy years old and still has great teeth; she can even gnaw on beef ribs!"

"I heard it was because she was disobedient and tried to run away, so they used pliers to forcibly pull out her teeth..."

"Damn it! Her stepmother was sentenced to several years in prison back then. This little girl really suffered. She was only six years old when she was sold and was tortured for eighteen years!"

"If this accident hadn't happened, she would be twenty-four years old now, definitely a bright and elegant young lady from a wealthy family. She might have just graduated from university, or she might have already gone abroad to study... In short, she shouldn't be like this now!"

"I checked, and her stepmother was originally sentenced to six years, but it was later reduced to five years and eight months. She's already been released and remarried..."

"Aaaaaah! Why! This is so unfair! This girl has been tortured for longer than she's been in prison!"

“Sheng Yan is just one example of abducted children. There are thousands more like Sheng Yan who are suffering from the torment of evil people. Some of them have even died silently in the torment, but we have not noticed them.”

……

Netizens couldn't help but feel indignant about Sheng Yan's plight.

After seeing Sheng Yan's recent photos and past experiences online, Chi Yu felt heavy-hearted. This was more than just a bad life; it had ruined her entire life.

Despite being detained for so many days without contact with the outside world, Chen Jiazhi was still able to provide Sheng Qiming with such real and effective clues.

The existence of the black-hearted little coal ball is currently unknown only to her and Chen Jiazhi; outsiders are unaware of it.

This led to the conclusion that, in the eyes of Sheng Qiming and the police, Chen Jiazhi actually knew Sheng Yan's whereabouts all along, but she never revealed it until she was desperate and then used it as a bargaining chip in her deal with Sheng Qiming.

No wonder Su Chengyan said that even if Sheng Qiming found Sheng Yan, he wouldn't treat Chen Jiazhi as a benefactor.

Although Sheng Yan's experience was unrelated to Chen Jiazhi, Chen Jiazhi's failure to report it meant that she indirectly became an accomplice to indifference.

Su's parents also saw Sheng Yan's miserable state. After learning about what she had suffered over the years, Su's parents felt a wave of fear and felt even more guilty towards Chi Yu. At the same time, they were very grateful to the orphanage that had taken Chi Yu in.

When they mistakenly thought Chen Jiazhi was their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Su had already donated six million to the welfare home to express their gratitude. Now, after Sheng Yan's incident, Mr. and Mrs. Su donated another six million to the welfare home overnight.

Chi Yu also noticed that Su's parents were sending her more private messages, seemingly trying to confirm whether she was still around.

Chi Yu would reply to each of them, maintaining a relationship that was neither too close nor too distant with Su's parents.

Today, Su Chengyan is hosting a party and has specially invited Jiang Chang and Liang Song to play golf, and also asked them to bring their friends.

Jiang Chang sent a message to Shen Yanzhi a day in advance, and Shen Yanzhi had promised to make time for it.

Su Chengyan and Liang Song arrived a little earlier than Jiang Chang and Shen Yanzhi. In addition to the four of them, there were also several of Su Chengyan's friends. Shen Yanzhi glanced at them and found that they were all from the same circle and were not strangers.

Chi Yu was stuffed into Shen Yanzhi's pocket, and could only hear the voices of these people talking.

Using Shen Yanzhi's battery, Chi Yu looked at her own remaining health points and pursed her lips.

Su Chengyan told her yesterday that although Chen Jiazhi voluntarily returned the more than 12 million yuan, the police had already filed a case when they reported the case to the Su family. Therefore, even if Chen Jiazhi returned the money, she would still be subject to court sanctions.

However, when the court hears this case, it will give Chen Jiazhi a lighter sentence because she took the initiative to admit her mistake and return the money.

Chen Jiazhi probably won't get a long sentence. Chi Yu knows the Su family has done everything they can, and she also knows the police have been looking for her.

If Chi Yu wants Chen Jiazhi to be punished severely for multiple crimes, the best way is for her to personally appear in front of the police and tell them the whole story of how Chen Jiazhi pushed her into the sea that day.

Even without evidence, her testimony as a party involved is an indispensable part of the case.

These days, Chi Yu has been trying her best to stay close to Shen Yanzhi as a "phone spirit" in order to accumulate more battery power.

Her current life points, converted to life time, amount to three and a half hours.

Chi Yu calculated the distance between the club where Su Chengyan and the others were located and the police station. It would take about forty minutes to drive there, which was more than enough time for her.

If I miss this chance, I don't know when I'll see Su Chengyan again.

Chi Yu watched as Shen Yanzhi, Su Chengyan, and the others finished playing golf, then went on to do some other recreational activities to pass the time, before gathering indoors for a delicious lunch.

As everyone scattered and prepared for their lunch break, Chi Yu sent a message to Su Chengyan.

Is it Yu, not Yu: Brother, do you have time now?

Su Chengyan and Shen Yanzhi were walking together toward the lunch break room arranged by the club when Chi Yu clearly heard a system notification sound coming from Su Chengyan's pocket after sending the message.

Su Chengyan, who was chatting with Shen Yanzhi, paused and immediately took out his phone.

Yu Yu's older brother: Yu Yu, I'm here. You have time, what's up?
Is it Yu, not Yu: I saw you at the club. Are you free right now? I want to go to the police station to give a statement.

Upon seeing this news, Su Chengyan's face lit up with joy.

He immediately looked up and around, trying to catch a glimpse of Chi Yu's familiar figure.

Once he couldn't see Chi Yu in his sight, he quickly looked down to reply to the message: Yes, yes, yes! Where are you? Why didn't you call me when you saw me! Come on, I'll go with you right now!
Chi Yu was tucked into Shen Yanzhi's pocket and couldn't see the sudden excitement on Su Chengyan's face, but he could tell from the exclamation mark that Su Chengyan was being enthusiastic.

Is it Yu, not Yu? Don't rush, let's meet in the club's parking lot in ten minutes? Bro, if you have a spare phone, could you get one for me? I don't have one.

Chi Yu had never reported a case or gone to the police station before. She had just checked online and found that she might need her ID card to make a statement.

Chi Yu has recently transformed into a person who is now penniless, and can only hope that Su Chengyan can help him by using his mobile phone to retrieve an electronic ID card.

In this information age, electronic ID cards and physical ID cards serve the same purpose.

When his younger sister asked for help for the first time, Su Chengyan readily agreed.

Yu Yu's older brother: I have some in my car! You can have it!

After sending the message, he immediately looked up at Shen Yanzhi and Jiang Chang, and said somewhat apologetically, "Yanzhi, Jiang Chang, I have other things to do and need to leave for a bit. You two stay here and have fun; it's on me today."

"Mm." Shen Yanzhi nodded.

Jiang Chang waved his hand and said, "Brother Yan, you have something to do first."

Following behind Su Chengyan, Liang Song asked curiously, "Cousin, what's wrong? Do you want me to come with you?"

Su Chengyan, who had already started to leave, remembered that he had a cousin after hearing his voice.

"No need." Su Chengyan stopped and patted Liang Song on the shoulder: "You stay here with Jiang Chang and the others and help me entertain them."

After saying that, Su Chengyan took a step and left. His back was hurried and his steps were rapid. Anyone could see his urgency.

Liang Song raised his hand to touch his head in a daze, but only touched the hat on his head. He watched Su Chengyan's hurried departure and asked, "Ah, what happened?"

Hearing Su Chengyan leave, Chi Yu also prepared to slip away.

However, having learned from her previous two mistakes, Chi Yu was wiser this time. Instead of leaving without saying goodbye, she took out a quill pen, scribbled a few lines on a piece of paper, put it in a small envelope, and then fixed the envelope in the middle of the screen, ensuring that Shen Yanzhi could see it whenever he used his phone.

After doing all this, Chi Yu clicked the exchange button and chose to become human.
