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

Chapter 204 This phone spirit can only be his.

Shen Yanzhi and Jiang Siyuan did not stay in the conference room for long. When they returned to Shen Yanzhi's office, Liu Pu was already pale with fright and confessed everything he knew.

Just as he had just told Shen Yanzhi, he received a private message from a netizen online and approached Shen Yanzhi with the intention of cooperating with him.

Liu Pu retrieved the chat history from Douyin private messages and also provided his payment records from that time.

The payment was made under a real name, and the plainclothes police officers immediately followed this lead, discovering that the million had already been transferred to an overseas account...

After Jiang Siyuan came in, he pulled a few plainclothes officers aside and whispered a few words to them. The plainclothes officers all looked at Shen Yanzhi with surprise. The recorder lowered his head and quickly wrote something in his notebook.

One of the plainclothes officers stepped forward and asked Liu Pu, "Who knew about your trip to the Shen family this afternoon?"

Liu Pu's legs went weak, and he slumped onto the sofa. He knew he was in deep trouble, but he calmly and quickly answered the plainclothes officers' questions: "Quite a lot... I've shown this video to many employees in the company, and to several friends as well. They all know I came to Shen's this afternoon, and my assistant has my schedule..."

The plainclothes officer, with a stern face, felt this was truly terrible news.

Shen Yanzhi, who came in with Jiang Siyuan, was also busy. He was taken aside by the recorder to make a statement.

This matter is highly likely to involve spies and their accomplices. After learning everything, the plainclothes officers couldn't wait to leave to investigate the truth behind it and find out who was behind it all.

As he left, Jiang Siyuan looked at Shen Yanzhi with some concern: "Cousin, you need to arrange a few bodyguards around you. I'll make a call later and find some retired soldiers to come and protect you closely."

Jiang Siyuan genuinely felt that it was dangerous to be around Shen Yanzhi.

After the car accident, many of those spies had clearly been identified, yet some remained hidden undetected. Moreover, these people were clearly targeting Shen Yanzhi.

Last time, it was they who dragged Shen Yanzhi down. Now that Shen Yanzhi is being targeted by them, who knows what these people might do.

Jiang Siyuan simply couldn't bear to imagine the consequences if something were to happen to Shen Yanzhi.

Compared to Jiang Siyuan's worries, Shen Yanzhi, the person involved, remained calm and even smiled to reassure Jiang Siyuan: "Cousin, don't worry, these people only dare to use petty tricks behind the scenes."

Jiang Siyuan said solemnly, "You must protect yourself."

Shen Yanzhi nodded: "Don't worry."

After leaving the Shen Group building, Jiang Siyuan immediately called his father, Jiang Huaiqing, and told him about what had happened to Shen Yanzhi that day.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint appeared in Jiang Huaiqing's usually gentle and kind eyes. He instructed Jiang Siyuan, "We need to catch these stinking rats quickly, otherwise they might do something to harm Yanzhi."

Jiang Siyuan nodded, "Dad, don't worry. By the way, Dad, do you have any skilled retired soldiers around? We could hire a few to be my cousin's bodyguards."

Jiang Huaiqing thought his suggestion was good: "Yes, I'll call and ask right now."

Jiang Huaiqing made several phone calls and quickly finalized the selection of Shen Yanzhi's bodyguard.

However, none of these people are in Beijing. They are either in their hometowns in the countryside or traveling. They won't arrive in Beijing until tomorrow at the earliest.

Jiang Huaiqing thought about it for a moment and agreed.

It's only a day, nothing should happen.

Shen's Building.

After watching Jiang Siyuan and the others take Liu Pu away, Shen Yanzhi returned to his office.

Apart from him and the phone addict, there was no one else in the office, so Shen Yanzhi no longer needed to hide his feelings.

He sat on the sofa, his eyes deep and his demeanor extremely cold and austere. As if remembering something, Shen Yanzhi took out his phone and, sure enough, saw a small, cuddly figure of dough huddled in a corner on the screen.

This was the first time Shen Yanzhi had ever seen the phone spirit so frightened. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the phone spirit through the screen: "Did you hear my conversation with Jiang Siyuan?"

Chi Yu looked pitiful and whimpered.

That's a rhetorical question.

After Shen Yanzhi spoke, he realized that he had asked a stupid question.

He had discovered that the phone spirit's thinking was the same as that of ordinary people, and that the phone spirit could understand what they had just said and clearly comprehend its meaning.

Otherwise, the phone spirit wouldn't be huddled in a corner, wishing it could hide itself in the cracks between its phone screen.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly, looking at the once lively, obedient, and carefree phone spirit, now transformed into this trembling and pitiful state, and he found it somewhat jarring.

"What I just said to my cousin was just our speculation, and it may not necessarily be true."

"We don't know the true motives of the person behind this yet. But when you made your move that night, your actions were so secretive that even my cousin and the others didn't notice, let alone the others."

"Even if they notice something amiss in the video, they might only suspect who was driving that day and how their car suddenly displayed its potential in a critical moment. Or they might suspect the car's system configuration."

Shen Yanzhi thought it was the latter.

Chi Yu loosened her short arms that were hugging her knees, raised her head, and looked at Shen Yanzhi with teary eyes: "What if they want to capture me for research?"

The plainclothes officers that Jiang Siyuan brought were not simple people.

Moreover, this incident also involves spies.

They might actually find some clues and discover something.

If she were born with a set of brilliant data, Chi Yu would be willing to dedicate herself to research.

But she is not.

Xiao Bai's appearance allowed Chi Yu to learn the whole story, but she couldn't tell anyone else about it.

Chi Yu did it on purpose; she deliberately acted pitiful and helpless just to get an answer from Shen Yanzhi.

She didn't necessarily need Shen Yanzhi to be on her side; she just wanted to know what Shen Yanzhi was thinking.

Through their interactions over this period, she knew that Shen Yanzhi was a man of his word and valued promises.

If Shen Yanzhi eventually gives up on her, she needs to make plans for herself as soon as possible.

Shen Yanzhi looked down at the pitiful little dough figure on his phone:

"If that day ever comes, I will hide you away and not let anyone find out."

The obsession and possessiveness that had been dormant deep within him for a long time suddenly sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, with an unstoppable momentum.

He can donate large sums of money every year to help poor children in mountainous areas go to school.

This one phone spirit, however, has belonged to him alone ever since it appeared in his phone.

　Oops, we'll find out in the next chapter! I'll update earlier tomorrow. Goodnight.
