Chapter 612: Chapter 401: Xu Liang: Open the Door, Bring Warmth!
But the question is, what’s the difference between living in prison and being dead?
Sun Hu’s heart was caught in a tangle of emotions.
Until...
"Sun Hu, Sun Biao, don’t go back to your cell for now."
In a daze, a voice rang out.
The two raised their heads and saw a bailiff walking towards them, speaking as he walked:
"A lawyer wants to see you, head to the meeting room first."
A lawyer wants to see them?
Upon hearing this.
Sun Hu and Sun Biao were both taken aback, but in an instant, delight appeared on their faces.
What kind of lawyer would want to see them?
It must be the defense lawyer!
"Lawyer Feng, I knew Brother Feng was still there, he will protect us!"
Sun Biao was very excited and quickly followed the policeman to the meeting room.
Sun Hu also felt his heart surge with emotion.
Feng Xiang is no ordinary person, specializing in criminal cases, even if he’s not as good as Xu Liang, he would at least prevent the death penalty or life imprisonment!
Even a twenty-year sentence would be much better than current circumstances!
"Quick, quick, quick!"
The two of them picked up their pace, their hearts pounding as they hurriedly followed the bailiff to the meeting room.
In no time, they were standing in front of the meeting room door.
They halted, anticipation growing stronger in their hearts, and then placed their hands on the door handle, pressing down firmly.
"Creak~"
The door opened.
Through the door crack, gradually came the voice of a man.
"Feng..."
Sun Hu’s face showed excitement, but before he could say anything, his expression froze.
The door opened.
He did not see Feng Xiang.
Instead, it was Xu Liang sitting inside the meeting room, smiling brightly as he saw the newcomers.
"Mr. Sun, nice to meet you here."
Sun Hu’s expression turned grim, and as his illusion shattered, he wanted to turn and leave, but unfortunately, the bailiff gave him no chance, shutting the door behind him.
He had no choice but to sit alone in front of Xu Liang.
Then, staring at the person in front of him who had personally landed him with ’suspended death’, he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice:
"Lawyer Xu, what do you want with me!?"
"Naturally, to discuss reducing your sentence."
Xu Liang crossed his hands over his stomach, speaking with a smiling expression.
"Reduce my sentence?"
Sun Hu almost laughed out of anger.
Just three hours ago, it was Xu Liang who orchestrated his suspended death sentence!
With any other prosecutor, he might not have received such a sentence, maybe just decades at worst. But as soon as Xu Liang came... his brother got life, and he got a suspended death sentence, which would become execution upon any crime within the next two years!
And now, he was here claiming to reduce his sentence?
Is he taking him for a fool?
"Fine, how does Lawyer Xu plan to reduce it?"
Sun Hu scoffed, coldly staring at Xu Liang, curious to see what trick he wanted to play.
Xu Liang didn’t mind the attitude and continued speaking cheerily:
"To reduce a sentence generally requires good behavior plus meritorious service."
"With good behavior... given the suspended death sentence, and considering Eastern Country’s laws on sentence reduction... I suspect that even with excellent behavior, you’ll still spend your life in prison."
"You might even fear leaving after thirty or forty years!"
"So, there’s only meritorious service left."
Meritorious service?
Meritorious service isn’t easy to achieve.
There are various types; it’s generally about reporting colleagues or contributing to scientific research.
As for research... there was once a genius who avoided execution by developing a critical technology in prison.
Sun Hu didn’t have that kind of brainpower.
So...
"Providing information and reporting criminals!" Xu Liang said.
"Ha, it’s just me and my brother." Sun Hu laughed dismissively.
But Xu Liang kept smiling without saying a word.
After a long silence, he slowly raised his hand.
He dipped his finger in the water cup and then slowly wrote three letters on the table in front of him.
They were...
l, s, d
The moment those three letters were marked... the entire meeting room fell into a sudden silence.
Sun Hu’s pupils constricted, his head shot up, looking at Xu Liang in disbelief, his body recoiling.
Xu Liang pointed at the three letters, his calm voice echoed beside him.
"Like this."
"Mr. Sun... you don’t want the court to sentence you to death, do you?"
