Chapter 424: Sentenced to 25 Years
They're going back to the provincial capital tomorrow.
She had to go back to that place that had hurt her, to face that bastard Huang Langping.
Xiangju must have been very unwilling.
We're all friends, so we should take care of each other.
David stopped making excuses at this point.
Besides, once it's in their hands, there's no way to escape...
There are few stars at night.
On a large tree next to the hospital parking lot, several sparrows were preening their feathers while taking shelter from the rain.
The birds in the trees seemed to know that night was falling, and they quietly hid away...
"Get up!"
Lazybones, still sleeping?
Early in the morning.
David was still asleep when someone pinched his nose and woke him up.
I opened my eyes and looked.
A beautiful woman with pigtails, jet-black and shiny hair, and bright, piercing eyes stood by the bed.
"Tingting?"
David sat up in surprise.
Only then did they realize that Ye Xiangju, dressed neatly, was standing behind Tingting.
Two women were smiling at him.
"Director Ye is here too?" Dawei greeted him in a serious tone.
Ye Xiangju immediately reverted to her previous demeanor, smiling politely: "County Chief Chen, I'm getting ready to return to the provincial capital. Tingting is here to pick me up."
Ding Tingting stood with her hands behind her back, smiling adorably. It seemed she already knew Dawei was alright, hence her relaxed demeanor: "You rascal, you almost got my best friend into trouble! You'd better be careful next time you go out!"
"Eh..." Dawei nodded awkwardly in response, his eyes sneaking a glance at Ye Xiangju.
The woman stood slightly behind and to the side of Tingting, flicked her hair, and gave Dawei a playful look in response.
This chrysanthemum leaf, once eaten too much, really changes you; you become indifferent.
Surprisingly, he didn't panic at all when facing his best friend Ding Tingting.
Tingting took out a small box from her bag; it contained homemade desserts that she had brought from home the night before.
I took a car from my work unit in the provincial capital overnight to pick up my best friend and go back home, mainly to see Dawei.
"for you."
"Thank you." David held the snack box, head down, avoiding Tingting's gaze.
Thinking about what happened last night, he became even more nervous.
Ye Xiangju clearly knew that Ding Tingting was on her way, yet she still dared to come over...
David didn't know he was coming, otherwise he wouldn't have done this no matter what.
Ye Xiangju put her hand on Tingting's shoulder and scolded her, "Aren't you being biased?"
A guy who forgets his principles for the sake of beauty.
He and I were both buried in the car.
You only prepared dessert for him?
Unlike her, Tingting was more experienced, and she was still shy about saying this. She pushed her away and said coyly, "You'll have something to eat when we get back."
After saying that, she grabbed Ye Xiangju and was about to leave, afraid that her best friend would say something even more lewd.
"Dawei, you should rest well."
I'll come see you again next time.
Tingting left those words and turned away.
Dawei quickly got out of bed: "Tingting, let me see you off."
Upon hearing this, Director Ye couldn't help but feel a little angry and glanced at Dawei sideways.
Look at him, he's so enthusiastic towards other people, but he's not like that towards Ye Xiangju at all.
Tingting turned back and pushed Dawei back onto the bed: "You rest, you don't need to see me off."
We have to go. The driver is waiting downstairs. Bye-bye.
The two women left, and Dawei went to the window and looked down, watching the two women get into the car.
Ye Xiangju got into the car a step later, glanced up at the building, and exchanged a glance with Dawei.
Suddenly, a look of loneliness filled Ye Xiangju's eyes.
She knew that there was little chance of a future for her and Dawei.
Last night's final frenzy was also based on this consideration.
Even if she got divorced, there's still Dawei in between.
As she bent down to get on the bus, Ye Xiangju suddenly burst into tears, which she quickly wiped away before sitting down.
The car started and slowly drove away.
"What's wrong, Xiangju?" Ding Tingting noticed the tear stains on her face.
"without……"
"uncomfortable?"
"No, seeing you all so happy reminds me of that bastard in my family, and it makes me feel terrible..."
Ye Xiangju was still as shrewd as ever, lying without batting an eye.
Tingting believed her and took her hand to comfort her, saying, "Just ignore him. Let him do his thing, and you do yours."
"Actually, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to play games either. I would also like you, to love someone properly and protect a relationship."
"..."
Tingting stared at her in shock.
This doesn't seem like the Ye Xiangju I know.
She has always enjoyed a carefree life and is quite knowledgeable about matters between men and women.
Why did she suddenly change her personality?
The car continued on its way.
Tingting kept asking about what happened during the landslide.
Ye Xiangju seemed unwilling to speak, only mumbling perfunctorily.
After arriving in Guangzhou, Tingting invited her to her home for dessert.
"No, Tingting, I have something to do and need to go home."
Ye Xiangju said wearily.
After saying that, he closed his eyes and continued to rest, while the driver continued to take Ye home.
Once the car had driven out of Tingting's vicinity, Ye Xiangju opened her eyes, asked the driver for a cigarette, lit it, and slowly smoked it.
"Director Ye, shall I take you straight home?"
"Go to the provincial government building."
"You've just been discharged from the hospital, why don't you rest at home?"
"I have something to take care of back at the compound."
After arriving at the destination, I went to handle the repair work in Xiaotang Town.
Aftermath.
She needs to do something meaningful.
……
Qinghe City Court.
The court hearing is today.
Sitting in the dock was Chen Tiecai, the former mayor of Meihua City.
Vice Governor Zhou abandoned it.
Chen Tiecai confessed everything he needed to to the provincial discipline inspection commission personnel and was quickly transferred to the procuratorate.
Adhering to the principles of speed and severity, the trial began today.
For anyone else, the trial would probably not start for at least two months.
He has too many things to do.
The trial lasted three days before a verdict was reached.
He was ultimately sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Imprisonment for a fixed term, the maximum term.
At the same time, his personal property was confiscated.
His son, Chen Wei, was moved to a different room in the detention center and received better treatment.
This comfort was earned through the sacrifices and responsibilities of his father, Chen Tiecai.
Chen Wei's case was scheduled for a later hearing.
First, Chen Tiecai had to stop the matter and get the verdict delivered. He did a lot of things, and that's why Chen Wei was given a lighter sentence later.
There are explanations for all of this.
this day.
Dawei arrived in Qinghe City.
I met Chen Tiecai at the detention center.
"You've come..."
Having lost his power, Chen Tiecai was extremely frustrated and devoid of any vitality.
David, sitting in front of him, looked particularly spirited.
"Yes, I came to see you."
You've aged a lot since I last saw you.
Chen Tiecai looked at the other person expressionlessly: "If it were you, you would have done the same. Didn't you also have a tuft of white hair back then?"
That was David's darkest moment; the other party was humiliating him.
"I won't be like you."
"That's hard to say. Who can predict things in officialdom? I used to think I'd never end up like this, just like you, haha... but look what happened?"
"You deserve what you got. You committed a crime, but I will never do the same thing as you," David said firmly.
