Chapter: 2681
Ye Zhongquan shook his head and said, "Su Chengming is already in his seventies or eighties. He's basically not possible to go to jail. Even if he's sentenced, it should be suspended execution."
Ye Changkong asked again, "Dad, do you think Su Chengming will get caught and punished this time?"
Ye Zhongquan smiled and said, "It all depends on whether Su Chengming can find someone to take the blame for him this time."
As he was saying that, he couldn't help but smile mockingly and say, "However, I think this time Su Chengming if he still wants to find someone to take the fall for him, the whole nation won't agree. After all, he has already had an example of passing off the blame on Su Shoude before. In such a situation, even if he pushes another son forward to take the rap, the public won't buy it."
Ye Changkong laughed and said, "If we follow your logic, then this time Su Chengming is in for a world of trouble."
Ye Zhongquan nodded and said, "This time he's definitely not going to get away with it. However, I know that people are not killed just like that. And that Liu Jian is already dead, so there's no evidence to prove anything. If Su Chengming tries to plead innocence later, claiming that he only wanted to teach Du Haiqing a lesson and didn't instruct Liu Jian to kill anyone, then he won't be directly sentenced to a murder charge."
As he was saying that, Ye Zhongquan added, "The Su family is still quite powerful. Su Chengming will definitely find a way to help himself avoid punishment and reduce the severity of his sentence. Considering his age, such a person would not receive a heavy sentence in court. I estimate that he will probably be sentenced to a non-negligible crime with a few years of imprisonment, and then apply for suspended execution when he's older. He'll basically get away with it."
Ye Changkong couldn't help but feel nostalgic: "Ah! If only Liu Jian were still alive... if we could catch him and let him testify in court about what really happened, then Su Chengming would be done for."
Ye Zhongquan chuckled softly: "Changkong, you're still too naive in front of Su Chengming."
Ye Changkong asked puzzled: "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Zhongquon spoke lightly: "If Liu Jian weren't really dead, Su Chengming might have already escaped abroad overnight!"
"He's the kind of person who wouldn't be willing to stay in the country and become a common prisoner."
"You should know that he originally didn't have many years left to live; if he were sentenced to more than 10 years of imprisonment, his entire life would only end up being spent in prison."
"Since it's like this, why not just escape instead?"
"As long as he escapes, with his financial resources, he can live extremely comfortably anywhere in the world."
"It's no big deal; just give up the position of family head and then retire early, enjoying a good 10-year life of leisure."
"After he's gone, his family can bring his remains back to the country and bury him in our ancestral tomb. That way, it's like a leaf returning to its roots. Who cares about spending one more day in prison?"
The old man suddenly realized this.
So, he said awkwardly, "Dad, you should consider it more thoroughly..."
Leaf Longshan sighed inwardly, thinking, "I must admit that my three sons are truly intelligent and capable. As for the remaining three, I'm at a loss."
Just as he was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang.
As someone with his identity, he knew only a handful of people - apart from family members - could directly call him.
So, when it rang, he was somewhat surprised.
He looked down and burst out laughing.
"Haha! It's actually Su Chengfeng calling me. What an old codger, making a phone call this late. I wonder what he's after!" JrNovels.com
