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

Chapter 272 His Cellphone

During their two previous meetings, Shen Yanzhi recognized his phone at a glance.

Shen Yanzhi's expression remained unchanged.

Su's father was somewhat shocked that Shen Yanzhi had come in person, and he hurriedly went up to greet him politely, feeling rather flattered.

Su Chengyan hadn't expected Shen Yanzhi to make this trip in person, especially during a major holiday, which clearly affected Shen Yanzhi's vacation. He felt very embarrassed: "I've troubled you again."

Shen Yanzhi's gaze swept lightly over the phone again. "On the way."

Two other people followed behind Shen Yanzhi.

One was Chen Jin, whom Chi Yu knew. The other man was someone Chi Yu did not recognize. He had a square face, average looks, and appeared to be around forty years old.

Shen Yanzhi introduced: "This is the person who filmed the evidence video, Wang Fuyang."

This was Wang Fuyang's first time at the police station, and he looked somewhat uneasy.

"You've come at the right time; I was just looking for you," Su Chengyan said. Noticing Wang Fuyang's nervousness, he patted Wang Fuyang on the shoulder, his expression very friendly. "Thank you for taking the evidence. My family previously offered a reward of 100,000 yuan to anyone who could provide valid evidence. Although you were discovered by Yanzhi, our reward notice still stands. Please cooperate with the police and give a statement. After you've given your statement, I'll transfer the reward to you immediately."

One hundred thousand?

bonus!

Wang Fuyang looked dazed.

Before he arrived, Chen Jin only told him that the video he filmed contained crucial clues that the police were looking for, and that he had done a great service this time.

Knowing that he had unintentionally helped the police solve a case, Wang Fuyang was somewhat incredulous. When Chen Jin asked him if he could help him make a statement at the police station, his sense of justice made Wang Fuyang nod.

So he was brought here.

Wang Fuyang had no idea that there was a bounty involved!
He thought the free hotel stay today was already a generous gift, but little did he know that an even bigger surprise was waiting for him!
Wang Fuyang felt as if he had fallen into the clouds, his whole body was light and airy, like he was dreaming.

With two police officers nearby, Wang Fuyang was not afraid that Su Chengyan was lying to him.

He tried his best to control his excitement and said impatiently, "Okay! I will definitely cooperate!"

At this time, Wang Fuyang was unaware that in addition to the 100,000 yuan reward offered by the Su family, the police also had a 20,000 yuan reward waiting for him.

Wang Fuyang went inside with the police to give a statement.

He recalled the reason he filmed the incident that day, and sighed: "Two months ago, my wife's sister and mother-in-law came to visit. They are from inland areas and had never seen the sea before. My wife suggested taking a few days off to take them out to sea... The video was filmed that day..."

Originally, the mother-in-law only wanted Wang Fuyang to take some photos for them that day, but it was the wife who spoke up, saying that photos and videos should also be taken.

Because videos are more vivid than photos, she can save them on her phone to watch later.

Wang Fuyang was so focused on filming his wife and the others that he didn't notice anything else that had accidentally wandered into the frame.

The mother-in-law and sister-in-law stayed for about three days. Considering that Wang Fuyang and his wife both had to work and had their own careers, the mother and daughter left soon afterward.

After they left, the lives of Wang Fuyang and his wife returned to normal. They were completely unaware of the online reward offered by the Su family and the police.

With elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, the couple faced immense pressure in their lives, spending their days busy with work and raising their children, leaving them with virtually no time to follow current events online.

This trip to the Starry Night Hotel was initiated by Wang Fuyang, who volunteered to work overtime on a business trip during the holidays and stayed at the Starry Night Hotel, where he learned about the event.

He recalled that two months prior, he and his wife had taken his mother-in-law and sister to the beach, which happened to be near Shuiqing. Then, upon reviewing the photos and videos, he realized the filming dates matched—it was July 3rd!

So, on a whim, I showed the video to the staff.

Unexpectedly, after the staff looked at it, they nodded and said it matched the event requirements.

Wang Fuyang had several videos on his phone. He was initially worried that the hotel might use the videos of him and his family for improper purposes. However, the staff patiently and responsibly explained to him that they were looking for evidence in a certain case. Moreover, the staff proactively presented an agreement stating that the videos obtained from him would not be used for any purpose other than as legal evidence.

The Starry Night Hotel is backed by the Shen Group, a truly large company.

Based on this trust, Wang Fuyang sent all the videos on his phone to his staff.

He chose the free accommodation over a 200 yuan cash bonus.

The price of a night's stay at the Starry Night Hotel is not just two hundred. When he takes the hotel's invoice to the company for reimbursement, he will essentially earn a free hotel stay.

Unexpectedly, he became the person the other party was looking for with the bounty on his head.

Although it's somewhat unfair to the victims of this case, the reward... he really couldn't resist it.

Whether out of a sense of morality or because of the 100,000 yuan check in front of him, Wang Fuyang was very cooperative when questioned by the police, almost to the point of telling everything he knew.

He took out his phone, and the time and place where he filmed the video were clearly remembered in his phone's photo album.

The police also meticulously retrieved the photos of the ill-fated cruise ship that their colleagues had brought back earlier. After careful comparison, they discovered that the cruise ship in the photos and the cruise ship in the video were exactly the same, whether in appearance, handwriting, or even the details of the placement of certain objects on board.

This video is almost certainly the evidence everyone has been searching for.

The person in charge of the cruise ship and the captain were also summoned by the police for identification.

The two looked haggard, indicating that they had not been having an easy time lately.

Upon seeing the video, the two were visibly shocked and incredulous, never expecting that such a rare event could happen in the world, especially one that occurred right next to them.

Upon seeing the living Chi Yu, the two were even more shocked, their faces filled with surprise and fear, looking at Chi Yu as if she were a ghost.

When Chi Yu saw the cruise ship manager, something suddenly came to mind.

She recalled the message Xu Yun had posted on Douyin before, in which after her accident, the cruise ship manager paid a high price to have the director of the welfare home sign an agreement, hoping to settle the matter privately.

Chi Yu had previously thought that the other party did not want to spread the matter, but now, seeing the person in charge's terrified expression, Chi Yu quietly lowered her eyes. The other party seemed to be acting strangely when they saw her reaction.

Logically speaking, since they escaped by luck and no one was killed, the person in charge should be happy and relieved.
