Chapter 296: Life Imprisonment or Death Penalty
Su Yan could tell what Guo Zimo was thinking from the smirk on his face, so she said, “Lawyer Guo, I invited you here because I believe in your professionalism. I only have one thought, and that is to strictly follow the laws of the nation. You will fight this case the way the law stipulates.”
Hearing this, Guo Zimo was slightly startled and couldn’t help but frown. Su Yan’s answer was somewhat out of his expectations, so he said again, “I’m sorry, President Su. Forgive me for being blunt, but are you sure you want to pursue this case to the end?”
Su Yan smiled and said, “Lawyer Guo, I understand what you mean. This case involves my relatives. Logically speaking, it’s fine to just scare them, but what you don’t know is that my family has long cut ties with this relative, so you can understand my determination, right?”
Finally, Guo Zimo understood Su Yan’s thoughts. Since he already had the answer, then he, as a lawyer, could start working. The witnesses and surveillance videos were complete. As long as the prosecution documents were written, the rest would be handed over to the police and the court.
When the three smart people sat together and talked, the conversation went smoothly. In less than ten minutes, everything was finalized. In the end, Wang Xiaoxue personally volunteered to send Lawyer Guo to the police station on Su Yan’s behalf.
Su Yan said, “Xiaoxue, thank you for your hard work. It’s so late, but I still have to trouble you.”
Wang Xiaoxue smiled and said, “There’s no need to stand on ceremony between us.”
After sending them off, Su Yan looked at her watch and prepared to sit down and wait for the news. However, when she turned around and saw Wei Zhou standing under the neon lights by the street, she was slightly stunned. She thought that the man had left.
It was late in the winter night, and the cold wind was bleak. Wei Zhou just stood outside and waited for her. Looking at his little face that was flushed red by the wind, she really felt that he was a little pitiful.
However, Su Yan only took one look at him before shifting her gaze away. Was he trying to act pitiful to arouse her sympathy? Unfortunately, she didn’t fall for it at all.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoxue crossed the road and walked back. When she saw Wei Zhou, she hesitated for a moment, but her sense of responsibility prevailed over everything. “Miss Su, it’s about time.”
Su Yan nodded and smiled. “Let’s go to the police station together.”
Su Yan guessed correctly. She hadn’t reached the police station yet when the police officer who had taken the statement earlier called. “Hello, Miss Su. I’m Officer Chen. The bag that you were robbed of has been recovered. Two suspects suspected of robbery are also being detained in the interrogation room. Can you come over now?”
Su Yan replied, “Alright, sorry to trouble you, Officer Chen. I’ll be there in a minute.”
After she said that, she hung up the phone. The smile on her face disappeared. Under the neon lights, her eyes flashed with a cold light.
..
At the police station.
Just as she stepped through the door, Su Yan heard Liu Yuhuan’s crying voice. “You have no conscience. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs. That damned girl Su Yan actually dared to report to the police. I don’t have a granddaughter like her. Officers, you have to make a decision for me. I’m the grandmother of the person who reported the case, Su Yan. It’s not illegal for me to steal something from my own granddaughter, right?”
After finding the police officer, Su Yan was brought to the interrogation room. However, she didn’t push the door open immediately. Instead, she stood at the door and quietly listened to Liu Yuhuan’s acting. It wasn’t until the young police officer repeatedly reminded her that she knocked on the door of the interrogation room.
When she heard the knock on the door, Liu Yuhuan’s crying stopped abruptly. She hurriedly raised her head to look at the door. Officer Chen’s voice sounded, “Come in!”
Seeing that it was Su Yan who had come in, Liu Yuhuan trembled, but she didn’t say anything. She only stared at her granddaughter.
Su Yan sat down by the wall, then, she asked, “Officer Chen, when I came to report the case, I already told you that the bag that I was robbed of was worth 900,000 yuan. There were also many things that belonged to me, including my ID card, bank card, credit card, and some cash. The total value was over 300 million yuan. My lawyer, Guo Zimo, also came just now. I asked him about it. Not only did this matter have witnesses, video surveillance, but even a live broadcast by the celebrity reporter Yu Yue. Therefore, this case has caused a very bad impact on society and I must pursue it. I also have the right to pursue the legal responsibility of Liu Yuhuan and her son, Yang Deyi.”
With that, she shifted her gaze to Liu Yuhuan and said coldly, “Three hundred million. Lawyer Guo told me that according to the nation’s laws, the court can sentence you to life imprisonment or death.”
