Chapter 611 - 401: Xu Liang: Open the Door, Bring Warmth!
Chapter 611: Chapter 401: Xu Liang: Open the Door, Bring Warmth!
Xu Liang showed a thoughtful expression, "After all, it’s easy to file a lawsuit this way... But it should be used cautiously, and preferably on people like Feng Xiang."
"You’re still using it... Be careful, or you’ll actually turn into a petty person like they say!" Yang Ruoxi chimed in sarcastically.
Using crooked methods too much can distort people’s thinking!
Afraid that later, as soon as someone slightly offends the other party, they’ll immediately prepare several kilograms of laxative...
Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, tightened his gaze, and scanned the hearing seats, then spoke:
"Who said I’m petty!?"
Slander, this is blatant slander!
The one who said this should step forward; Xu Liang will definitely show them how big-hearted he truly is!
"I said it."
Yang Ruoxi rolled her eyes, soon recalling something, and adjusted her expression before speaking:
"The first trial is over, so what should we do now?"
Saying this, she thought for a moment, surprised:
"Wait for news from the police?"
LSD is like a collar, tightly tethering Feng Xiang, making him unable to escape the days without LSD.
So, Feng Xiang should now be on his way back ’home’ and the police are secretly investigating.
Though they might not find any major evidence, there will definitely be some clues!
However...
"Too slow."
Xu Liang shook his head; he doesn’t like waiting.
Waiting is like scratching a lottery ticket; maybe the police will bring good news, or maybe they will find nothing.
So, he prefers... to actively push things forward!
"Where were Sun Hu and Sun Biao taken?"
Xu Liang suddenly asked.
Yang Ruoxi instinctively replied: "Detention center."
People who are sentenced will be held in the detention center and then escorted to prison to serve their sentence.
"That means... Sun Hu will meet a lawyer in the detention center and have the lawyer defend him to reduce the sentence."
Xu Liang nodded, then stood up and gathered the documents.
The other party needs a lawyer, but Feng Xiang obviously can’t make it back.
In that case...
"Let’s go on behalf of Feng Xiang."
Xu Liang grinned, showing a smile.
He needs to find Sun Hu... What to do with him? Naturally, to show his big-heartedness!
Changing a death sentence to postponement is simple, that is to earn merits + good behavior.
Just good behavior alone can at most change the death penalty to life imprisonment, maybe if it were a dozen years ago, the sentence might be changed to just a dozen or twenty years and be released.
But now it’s 2005.
Considering the time passing... the law will become stricter, and just relying on good behavior will lead them to be imprisoned for life!
So.... only merits!
What merits?
"LSD, ’home’, I don’t believe Sun Hu and Sun Biao know nothing about this!"
"If they do know...."
Whispering to himself like this, Xu Liang’s eyes gleam with a sharp light.
"Sun Hu surely doesn’t want to face the situation of the death sentence!"
As long as he speaks out, Sun Hu can avoid the death sentence.
What? You say the death sentence is something Xu Liang caused to be blamed on him? Leave that aside!
Yang Ruoxi was a bit taken aback, but soon felt a surge of excitement.
"Then let’s go!"
With that said, the two packed up their things and slowly walked out.
...
...
On that day.
Five o’clock in the afternoon.
Inside Upper City Detention Center.
"Brother Hu... Lawyer Feng, where is he? Didn’t Lawyer Feng say we’d stay for just five or six years and get out?"
"He also said if we behave well, maybe we only need to stay three years and could get out! There’s even some money to be had!"
"But in the first trial, we’ve been given death sentence and life imprisonment..."
"I don’t want to spend my life in prison!"
Sun Hu and Sun Biao, who had just been transferred back, were temporarily sitting in the hall. Sun Biao’s face expressed utter despair, his tone mournful.
"Do you think I want to spend my life in prison!?"
Sun Hu was somewhat irritated, or perhaps scared.
His hands kept moving, eyes occasionally glancing outward, as if waiting for someone...
Unfortunately, he looked for a long time, but the one who promised them never appeared, and his face instantly showed pessimism.
Feng Xiang... disappeared!
The Feng Xiang, who guaranteed a maximum sentence of seven years, disappeared!
Instead, they’ve been sentenced to death and life imprisonment, and their lives are also utterly ruined...
"Where is Lawyer Feng? What’s going on with him? I felt he was acting a bit strange a few days ago."
Sun Biao spoke again, recalling that pre-trial evening when the other party asked them about the matter of ’stamps’.
"Ask ask ask, you only know to ask.... Who am I supposed to ask after you ask me!?"
Sun Hu took a deep breath, pushed down the apprehension within.
After thinking for a long time, he spoke in a deep voice:
"’Home’ over there won’t ignore us!"
"Feng Xiang’s disappearance... might lead to others coming over here to help us."
As a boss, they must cover for their subordinates, otherwise none of them would have their trust.
Especially in their line of work!
Subordinates know things that can end the boss, so these leaders typically find ways to bail out implicated subordinates.
This isn’t about keeping the lackeys safe, but about keeping themselves safe!
"If worst comes to worst...."
Sun Hu suddenly swallowed, feeling a bit tense inside.
If the worst really comes... he might also try to earn merits!
LSD stamp, he wasn’t deeply involved, if ’home’ truly gave up on him... then he absolutely could talk about it, risking his life to barter for the rest of his life!
But.....
"Brother Hu, about ’home’ over there..." Sun Biao saw what he was considering, immediately tried to stop him, showing hesitation.
Sun Hu fell silent.
If he spills what he knows...
Then waiting for him, is mostly likely assassination from ’home’!
If he keeps silent, the rest of his life will be spent in prison. True, there won’t be freedom, but at least no death.
But if he talks... those guys will really kill him!
