Chapter 1630: Twenty Years in Prison
How could she ever forget?
Back then in the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburb, Tang Zhenghao had someone threaten to whack her pregnant belly with two metal rods.
She had been seven to eight months pregnant with twins then, and her belly was a lot bigger than that of most other pregnant women.
If the rod had really made contact with her belly, it wouldn’t solely be the lives of the two children that were lost.
Even the adult…
Later on, although they hadn’t harmed her or the children, they had caused her man to go missing for over four years.
The whole incident was over, but the despair remained fresh in her memory.
At the thought of the past, s.h.i.+vers ran down Su Qianci’s spine. She was badly shaken.
She looked at Li Sicheng. The man was right in front of her, in the flesh, steadily driving the car.
Su Qianci’s heart calmed down. She said, “I can’t forget.”
Li Sicheng knew that she had regained her senses and asked, “Do you still remember I once told you that evil flows in the blood of the Tang family?”
She remembered. Of course, she did.
“You don’t have to worry about Mosen hating us,” he said. “At this point, we can only leave it all to fate.”
Li Sicheng grew a little emotional and said, “If your dream does come to pa.s.s, I’ll accept it too. What can I do when I have a wife who’s so unbelievably kind?”
Su Qianci didn’t say another word. Her eyes widened as she gazed dumbly at Li Sicheng.
She had adopted Mosen because she had felt that the child was very pitiful.
She hadn’t considered anything else…
Even after adopting Mosen, that thought had never occurred to Su Qianci.
Who could have expected an unintentional dream to dig up so many skeletons and produce such a worrying sentiment?
Li Sicheng glanced at her and said, “Don’t overthink it. My words were just off the cuff. Mosen is a child brought up by us. With our parenting, he is the child of the Li family.”
Su Qianci’s was gradually rea.s.sured. She muttered to herself in reinforcement, “Regardless of strong base instincts are, they are no match for environmental influence.”
As she spoke, she looked to the front and mumbled, “He’s only 5. How he turns out in the future will rely solely on his upbringing.”
“That’s right.” Li Sicheng’s eyes turned into tiny crescents. “My wife has gotten smart.”
“I was always smart to begin with!”
“All thanks to my influence.”
“How shameless!”
…
Court was in session. Shen Luo’an, as the defendant, was seated on the stand.
Ye Youyou and Li Jinnan, on the other hand, were seated among the audience, looking ahead.
Shen Luo’an ad Guan Yanhong looked to be in very bad shape.
They had both lost a lot of weight. Their beards were unkempt, and there were dark rings around their eyes.
Guan Yanhong was in this state because of his daughter. As for Shen Luo’an, it was probably due to the drastic change in the environment at being suddenly imprisoned.
“The plaintiff, Guan, accuses Shen of the crime of murdering his daughter. Shen has pleaded guilty. On account of the remorse he has shown, the court is sentencing him to 20 years in prison.”
The judge hit the gravel to signify that the case was closed.
The weight in Ye Youyou’s heart was finally lifted.
Shen Luo’an’s parents were a lot more emotional. Mrs. Shen began wailing. “That’s great news! He’s not going to die! He still has a chance of being released…”
Shen Zhilie had just rushed over to the Capital the previous afternoon. He reached out to pat his mother on the back. He looked at Shen Luo’an with creased brows.
Shen Longyue’s expression remained dark the whole time. No one could tell what he was thinking.
While they rejoiced at the news, others weren’t so happy. Guan Yanhong stood up in the courtroom and bellowed, “How is that possible? I refuse to accept it! I am going to appeal this! Sc.u.m! You are all sc.u.m! Did my daughter just die for nothing?”
