Chapter 1417: The Last Battle (52)
Back then, Mu Huan had only made an agreement with Liu Changfeng to not let his father be despised by everyone. In private, he still had to pay the price for the crimes he had committed. Hence, apart from the commercial crimes like embezzlement of public a.s.sets, Mr. Liu had also been charged with the crime of endangering public safety. This crime was rather serious, and he was ultimately sentenced to life imprisonment.
On the day Mr. Liu was sentenced, Liu Changfeng, who had already left home, rushed over to see his father"s final court hearing.
This was his last concern for the mortal world.
When he saw that his father"s hair had turned completely white in just half a month, his eyes reddened.
For the past half a month, he must have been racking his brains to think of a way out.
No matter what this matter was about, he had not been by his father"s side during the most critical moment. As his son, he had not done anything for his father, and it could be considered that he had harmed him.
He had let him down.
Mr. Liu had been very calm throughout the entire trial. Even in the end, when the judge announced his crime and sentenced him to life imprisonment, he did not show any change in his emotions. It was as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Because he knew that no matter how agitated he was, it wouldn"t change anything.
For the past half a month, he had tried all the ways he could. Now, he had no choice but to temporarily accept it and wait for an opportunity.
However, his calmness was broken when he was about to be brought down and he saw Liu Changfeng.
Although Liu Changfeng had put on makeup to make others unable to recognize him, that was his son, his only son. Even if he only revealed a pair of eyes, he could still recognize him. Ever since the incident, his son had disappeared. A few days ago, he had heard others say that his son had become a monk. How could his only son become a monk?!
Even if he were to go to jail, he still had many other a.s.sets. Furthermore, his son had earned money from being a Best Actor all these years. He wouldn"t be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. Why would he want to take things too hard and become a monk?! He was so agitated that he wanted to shout for Liu Changfeng, but when he thought about it, everyone knew that his son was the child of a criminal. Hence, he endured it and didn"t shout.
He signaled Liu Changfeng to come and see him. He had something to tell him.
Liu Changfeng understood what he meant and went.
In the visitation room…
When Mr. Liu saw Liu Changfeng coming in, he asked impatiently, "Are you really going to be a monk?"
"Yes." After he had been reading the scriptures for a while, Liu Changfeng"s eyes had become even more calm and indifferent than before.
"How can you be a monk?! Aren"t you basically telling my Liu family that we can have no descendants?!" He had only one son.
"There"s no need to continue this evil bloodline," Liu Changfeng said.
"What evil bloodline?! You child, I say, you…"
Liu Changfeng interrupted him. "Dad, do you know how many people have died in this pandemic?"
Mr. Liu was stunned. Then, he said, "Those people didn"t die just from the virus. Their health wasn"t good to begin with! Look at the first batch of people who got sick. Bo Junyan and Mu Huan"s friends didn"t die!"
"Dad, your excuses are meaningless."
"If you want to blame someone, you have to blame Mu Huan and Bo Junyan! If it weren"t for them, such a thing wouldn"t have happened!" Even now, Mr. Liu couldn"t blame himself! He wasn"t in the wrong!
He couldn"t blame himself. Once he blamed himself and regretted it, the torture on his conscience would be unbearable.
It would make him collapse completely.
He wasn"t in the wrong! All of this was Bo Junyan and Mu Huan"s fault!
Without them, none of this would have happened!
