Hmph, just you wait, man.

Sooner or later, I'll wear you down until the day you're stuck in a thermos with goji berry water all the time.

Looking at the well-dressed man next to her, Shen Yulou rubbed her aching cheeks and let out a burp.

"boss?"

The assistant saw that Chi Yuan had just stood up when he reached out to stop him.

"It's okay, you guys go to sleep first, I'll go find the police to continue taking statements."

"I'll come back to you when it's over."

Seeing his subordinate lie back down, Chi Yuan gave a wink to the familiar policeman next to him, and the group went back into the interrogation room together.

“Okay, Mr. Chi, we can continue. You just mentioned the villagers of Mojia Village forcibly changing your wedding dress.”

The policeman picked up his pen, signaling him to continue.

Chi Yuan recounted what happened next in a rambling manner.

He said his phone was stolen, and after breaking free, he was too afraid to go ashore, fearing he would be arrested again.

It only dared to grab a handful of water plants and tie them to its body to pretend that the water plants were floating. Then it would eat water plants every day and occasionally sneak into the mountains to catch mice and pick fruits to fill its stomach.

They would come ashore at night to search for escape routes.

Because they were unclear about the situation outside and had not yet planned their escape route, they dared not go ashore rashly and could only drift around in the water diligently.

The police officers, after writing the letter, looked at him with sympathy and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"It must have been difficult for you. Don't worry, we will arrest those villagers who participated in your kidnapping according to the information you provided."

"Make sure they don't escape legal punishment."

"After conducting a more comprehensive investigation and ensuring that all witnesses and physical evidence are irrefutable, we will transfer the case to the procuratorate for prosecution."

Chi Yuan looked up.

"May I ask, how many years will they likely be sentenced to?"

“The principal offender committed both serious illegal detention and intentional homicide. Although the murder was unsuccessful, I think he should be sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.”

"For accomplices, it depends on the severity of the offense; a minimum of ten years is possible."

The police officer, drawing on his legal knowledge, spoke with some uncertainty.

"However, it's not up to me to decide; the final decision depends on the judge's ruling."

"Mr. Chi can appeal again if he is not satisfied with the result."

"What if the main culprit is an elderly person in their seventies or eighties?"

Upon hearing Chi Yuan's words, the police officer frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

"There's a high probability they'll be treated leniently, but it won't be by much. They might have to stay in prison until they die."

Chi Yuan nodded and walked out of the interrogation room with the police. Shen Yulou, who was standing next to him, was still somewhat absent-minded when he heard the result.

He hooked Shen Yulou's little finger.

"what?"

Shen Meiren leaned over and bit his ear.

"Distracted, dissatisfied with the result?"

"No, I'm very satisfied."

"I was surprised to find that the laws in this country have become much stricter."

"But in some cases, it can be very satisfying."

Shen Yulou touched his neck.

"The clan chief will eventually admit that he is the main culprit."

"Actually, I was even prepared that the clan chief would only be sentenced to two or three years in prison because of his advanced age."

"I never expected to be locked up for so long."

Chi Yuan smiled.

"What does crime have to do with age?"

"Anyone who breaks the law must be punished."

"Furthermore, I believe that crimes involving life and death should be severely punished in order to maintain social order and stability."

Shen Yulou gave him two thumbs up.

“You’re right, I fully support you.”

"Those who disregard life will ultimately pay the heaviest price, regardless of who they are, what their status is, or what their age is."

"But I also feel that you're not very happy; you're definitely thinking about something else."

A smug smile appeared on Chi Yuan's face; he saw right through Shen Yulou's thoughts.

"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it."

Shen Meiren was a little embarrassed to say it, so she pushed his face and made him turn his head to the side.
