Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C114
Chapter 114 – Life imprisonment
Finally, three days later, Tao Jian Xin and his family welcomed the day of their judgement.
Tao Chu Liang specially changed into a set of formal and formal clothes for this purpose and went to the Trial Chamber with Xiang Chen Xi.
In the courtroom, the judge banged on the table.
Under layer after layer of evidence, the helpless Tao Jian Xin had no choice but to admit to his wrongdoings. How could they have anything to argue for, no matter what their lawyer tried to defend, they all had no chance of winning. They could only rely on their own lawyer’s little eloquence, hoping to escape the law and die.
Amongst them, Tao Jian Xin had a total of four cases involving life, and there were also a few cases involving corruption and property.
After the judge finished listening to both the plaintiff and defendant’s statements, he heavily hammered the gavel in his hands and looked towards Tao Chu Liang.
“According to the plaintiff’s statement, the defendant Tao Jian Xin’s crime evidence is reliable. The situation is true, please make the request from the plaintiff.”
Tao Chu Liang coldly looked at Tao Jian Xin’s family as she thought about today’s scene countless of times. She knew of that rage, that fierce hatred, and that helplessness … He had lost all of his pain in an instant, and at the very last moment, Tao Jian Xin was still like a madman.
“Such a person should have died ten thousand times over in this society.” Tao Chu Liang sighed, she looked into the distance with a dull expression, she believed that her parents would be watching her as well.
“What will they think?”
Tao Chu Liang looked at the horizon outside the court. He took a whole piece of the sky and projected it through the glass onto the court s floor. The court s floor was reflecting light, which also represented justice and absolute dignity.
“Please state your request.”
The judge confirmed what he was about to say. Although he said that the judge should not be moved as a symbol of the law, he knew that those who committed heinous crimes should not be forgiven. He shook his head, as if he was mourning for Tao Chu Liang. This woman’s life was simply too miserable.
“We don’t have any more requests. If so, I wish that their death sentences can be commuted to life imprisonment. The crimes they committed, even if they spent their entire life in prison, they would never be cleansed.”
Tao Chu Liang closed his eyes, and she would think of the past again. At that time, his parents were still by her side, and she still had someone to rely on.
When Xiang Chen Xi saw Tao Chu Liang’s expression, he lightly leaned Tao Chu Liang’s body against his shoulder.
Both he and Liu Ling knew that the only way out in front of him was through the death penalty, and there were no other options available to him. Furthermore, their own lawyers did not have many examples of defending themselves, the plaintiff had the most outstanding bar, which was something that Xiang Chen Xi had spent a lot of money to invite, as well as the most complete proof, including his own confession.
The judge once again struck his gavel. His hammer smashed down heavily, and Tao Jian Xin felt that this hammer was like a hammer striking his own heart.
The police officer beside him frowned strangely, then turned to look at Tao Chu Liang’s direction.
Tao Chu Liang seemed to still be resting, leaning on Xiang Chen Xi’s body the entire time, as if making this decision had already expended all of her strength.
It was indeed like this, Tao Chu Liang really didn’t wish for her to make the decision to let Tao Jian Xin go, but unfortunately, she did.
The policeman tugged on Tao Jian Xin’s clothes and whispered: “Did you hear that?
Only then did Tao Jian Xin turn around, he saw that Tao Chu Liang’s eyes were not focused on him, it was as though he was not her arch enemy, but an ordinary person, one that Tao Chu Liang would never look at properly.
Only then did Tao Jian Xin realize that he was afraid, but if he were to experience that feeling of fear again, it would be too late.
“Life imprisonment.”
Tao Jian Xin lowered his head, he did not want to say a word, he did not even remember the judge’s face. He didn’t know what he was thinking. All of a sudden, there were so many things that he couldn’t think of anymore.
In the end, he was still looking forward with a dull expression, allowing the police to lead him all the way through the prison entrance.
Liu Ling’s condition was slightly better than Tao Jian Xin’s. After all, Tao Jian Xin had shouldered the majority of the responsibility regarding this matter, and as his accomplice, Liu Ling had not been sentenced to death. Just like Tao Jian Xin,he was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, Tao Chu Liang still gave her a chance to be sentenced to imprisonment in the prison. Once she performed well in the prison, she would still have a chance to come out.
The lawyers and judges had left a long time ago, leaving only Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi to slowly walk around. The scenery here was great under the sunlight, and at the side of the court, there was a river that was covered with sunset. The river rippled and spilled out a golden color.
“Now we are finally at peace.” Tao Chu Liang looked into the distance, as if he could see her parents through the clouds.
“You said my parents would want me to do the same, right? They are not vindictive people. I believe that even though they have suffered such a thing, their hearts are still as kind as before. ”
“Although I don’t agree with your kindness, I don’t want to try to understand.”
Xiang Chen Xi looked into the distance. There, he could gradually see geese flying above the reeds that were sprinkled with the setting sun. Their voices sounded extremely cheerful, as if they were playing around. However, you did very well in this matter. Even I was shocked that you had such spirit now. ”
“Before, I had always thought that in order to be a decisive person, one must quickly get rid of all those who caused trouble for you, or even those who might cause trouble for you. But then I figured it out, people have to go through trouble, and whether or not you leave some holes in your life, you’re going to have problems. ” Xiang Chen Xi sighed.
Tao Chu Liang laughed, she did not know why he chose to allow hisself to do so, but no matter what, she felt that when this matter was resolved, her heart would feel a little better. She enjoyed the charming sunlight, as if his entire being was a lot more relaxed.
“And then there’s the court.” Tao Chu Liang turned to look at the court. At this time, there was already no one in the court, it was standing alone by the lake.
“The next court will explain clearly about the ownership of Tao Jian Xin’s property, I think that regarding this matter, the majority of it will be handed over to the company, and his real estate will also directly participate in the auction to make up for the debts he owed when he was in the dark, and only leave behind a set of things for Tao Yi Fei to use.”
