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

Chapter 15 Old Master Shen's Entrapment

Located at the foot of Yunxi Mountain, in Beijing's top-tier luxury villa district, is also the site of the Shen family's old residence.

The Shen family villa was renovated just two years ago. The modern-style mansion is very grand, with its white marble walls covered with gorgeous carvings and reliefs.

The mansion occupies a vast area, with a lush and beautiful garden in front of the courtyard. The front garden even features a small artificial lake and fountain, adding to its luxurious and grand atmosphere.

As soon as Shen Yanzhi got out of the car, the butler immediately came up to him: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen has been waiting for a long time and wants you to go to his study to see him after you return."

Shen Yanzhi nodded slightly and handed the car keys to the servant beside him. The servant would park Shen Yanzhi's car in the villa's garage after Shen Yanzhi left.

As soon as Shen Yanzhi stepped into the villa, Huang Yuwan, who had been chatting with Qin Mengshuang on the sofa, spotted him and immediately stood up to greet him: "Oh, Yanzhi, you're back? Did you just come from the company? Are you thirsty? Here's some tea that the housekeeper just brought up, it's still warm!"

"I'm not thirsty, Auntie, you can drink it yourself." Shen Yanzhi's voice was indifferent.

He received a call from his grandfather this afternoon, asking him to come back to the old house for dinner.

Without even thinking, Shen Yanzhi knew that tonight's meal was inextricably linked to the matter of his third aunt's useless nephew.

Huang Yuwan's unusually enthusiastic attitude now further proves this point.

Shen Yanzhi strode towards the study.

Seeing his usual aloofness and indifference, Huang Yuwan's expression twisted for a moment. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but complain to Qin Mengshuang in a low voice, "I think ever since Shen Yanzhi became the president of Shen's Group, he has been increasingly disregarding us elders!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Qin Mengshuang's eyes, but she didn't say anything more.

That day, after Shen Hongguo left the Shen family in a huff, he told her about what Huang Yuwan's nephew had done that very night.

What audacity it must have been to embezzle twelve million from the Shen family!

How dare you come to the old man to complain?
Do they really think the Shen family is the Huang family's ATM?

If it weren't for needing Shen Yuanzhong's help to bring down Shen Yanzhi, Qin Mengshuang wouldn't have wanted to associate with a brainless and shameless sister-in-law like Huang Yuwan.

……

The study door was tightly closed. Shen Yanzhi looked up and knocked: "Grandpa."

Old Master Shen inside quickly responded.

Shen Yanzhi pushed open the door.

Inside the study, Old Master Shen was sitting in front of a chessboard. When he saw Shen Yanzhi's tall figure, he quickly beckoned him in: "Come here, it's been a long time since we, grandfather and grandson, have played chess."

"Yes." Shen Yanzhi walked over and sat down opposite Old Master Shen.

Shen Yanzhi was raised by his grandfather from a young age, and it was his grandfather who taught him Go.

When he was a student, Shen Yanzhi often played chess with his grandfather. After he started working, he became increasingly busy, and after moving out of the old house, he had even less time for it.

The two men, one playing black and the other white, didn't exchange many words.

On the empty chessboard, more and more pieces are placed.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Master Shen sighed softly, "Yanzhi, your chess skills are getting better and better."

Shen Yanzhi's chess style is just like him. At the beginning, it is as calm and still as a lake, and you can't feel any danger.

By the time they realized what was happening, they were already surrounded and trapped, unable to escape. After the game ended, Grandpa Shen threw the chess pieces back into the jar and looked at his eldest grandson, who sat calmly opposite him: "Do you know why I called you back today?"

Chi Yu, who was secretly using her phone to charge her phone, also strained her ears.

Shen Yanzhi said calmly, "It's about that unreliable nephew of my third aunt's family."

“That’s right.” Old Master Shen admitted directly: “That day in the office, you didn’t give your eldest uncle and third uncle any face at all, and directly called the police to take Huang Sheng away. Your eldest uncle and third uncle were very unhappy about this, especially your third uncle, who kept complaining to me for several days.”

Chi Yu: ...

She remembered!
It happened in the office a couple of days ago.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong, who are both in their forties or fifties, actually went to the old man to complain.
And he even complained about his own nephew?

At this moment, Chi Yu suddenly understood why the Shen Group had fallen into the hands of Shen Yanzhi instead of being inherited by Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong.

Judging solely from their emotional intelligence, these two men, who have lived most of their lives, are not as calm and reliable as the young man Shen Yanzhi.

“The police have collected enough evidence, and the legal department has filed an appeal against Huang Sheng. I believe the court’s verdict will be announced soon,” Shen Yanzhi said. “Once the verdict is announced, I believe Uncle San and the others will stop bothering you.”

The smile vanished from Old Master Shen's face, replaced by a stern and angry expression: "You mean, even if I asked you to let Huang Sheng go, you wouldn't agree?"

Shen Yanzhi was not intimidated by the old man's imposing manner at all. Instead, he said, "Grandpa, official business must be handled officially, without favoritism. This is what you taught me."

His meaning was clear: even if Old Master Shen spoke up, he would not sign the letter of understanding. This demonstrated his firm commitment and loyalty to protecting the company's interests.

Old Master Shen remained silent with a cold expression, and the atmosphere in the study instantly became silent and tense.

Even through her phone, Chi Yu could sense the stalemate between Old Master Shen and Shen Yanzhi from the quiet atmosphere.

She couldn't help but silently give Shen Yanzhi a thumbs up in her heart.

In handling official business, Shen Yanzhi's character and abilities as a leader are simply impeccable.

No wonder her former classmates were all scrambling to get into Shen's.

Not only are the benefits good, but even the leaders are top-notch.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Master Shen slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter: "Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Yanzhi, I trust you with the Shen family business. From now on, you must be just as resolute as you are today in protecting the interests of the Shen Group, no matter who pleads for you!"

Shen Yanzhi was emotionally detached. The only people he cared about were his grandfather, who had raised him, and Ms. Jiang, who had carried him for ten months and given birth to him.

The fact that he could refuse Old Master Shen's pleas shows how firm Shen Yanzhi is in upholding his principles.

The more Old Master Shen thought about it, the happier he became, and when he looked at Shen Yan, his expression grew increasingly proud.

Chi Yu: "..." What??
You old man, you're actually entrapping people?

I never expected you to be like this, Mr. Shen!
In contrast, Shen Yanzhi's expression remained calm, as if he had long been accustomed to the old master's unpredictable style of doing things.

The villa was unusually lively during dinner time.

Besides Shen Yan, Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong both brought their families with them.

Mr. Shen had called Ms. Jiang, Shen Yanzhi's mother, in advance, but Ms. Jiang had just gone on a business trip to another province yesterday and had not yet returned, so she could only regretfully miss the call.

Hey everyone, guess what the male lead's mother, Ms. Jiang, does?
