Chapter 596 The Curtain Falls

Su Xiaosi was not lying.

He indeed did not go to the real estate transaction center. According to the person in charge of the certificate processing, the second-in-command took the property certificate there that day, handed over Su Xiaosi's name and ID number, and asked them to help with the processing.

He initially refused to process it because it was against the rules, but the second-in-command stuffed a few old bills into his hand and said that the other party was too busy to handle it and asked him to make an exception, so he processed it.

Su Lao Er found out about this matter without even putting in any effort.

The reason was that this person was timid. The second-in-command called him and told him to resign and run away, saying that he would give him another thousand yuan. He was reluctant to give up his secure job for a thousand and fifty thousand yuan, so he thought he could make amends.

Su Lao Da wanted to visit Su Xiao Si and tell him about this, but Su Lao Er stopped him and went there himself with the recording of Su Lao Da's phone call with Fei Wenzhou.

When Su Xiaosi saw Su Lao Er, he kept his head down and didn't look up.

Su Lao Er ignored him and played the recording for Su Xiao Si to listen to.

Su Xiaosi apologized with shame, saying, "Second brother, I already know they are not good people. Fei Wenzhou was using me from the beginning. He wanted to use me to control eldest brother and make him work for him. He deliberately kept the amount of that house under control to see eldest brother's reaction. He will definitely know that eldest brother helped me investigate. Tell eldest brother to be careful and not to fall into his trap."

"My brother won't be so easily manipulated like you."

Su Lao Er said disdainfully, "You were taken advantage of because you are full of loopholes, which is why you were manipulated. If you had just listened to your older brother and stopped cheating your classmates out of their money and belongings, or if you had honestly gone to work and paid back the money and supported yourself, you would be pursuing a doctorate now! Why did you end up like this?"

"I know I was wrong," Su Xiaosi said sincerely.

Su Lao Er glanced at him, his eyes indifferent. "You don't need to say that to me. Whether you are wrong or not, whether you change or not, I don't care. I came here because of my elder brother. He can't stand seeing you being schemed against. He thinks you need to pay the price for the mistakes you made, but you shouldn't be held responsible for things you didn't do."

Su Xiaosi lowered her head and pursed her lips.

"Su Xiaosi, the first half of your life was ruined by your self-righteous cleverness. The saying 'cleverness backfires' has been perfectly exemplified in your case. You should reflect on your actions in prison for the next few years."

After finishing his sentence, Su Lao Er turned and strode away.

Su Xiaosi clenched her hands, and the regret in her eyes seemed genuine.

The second corruption and bribery case went to trial soon.

Su Xiaosi was sentenced to six years and three months in prison for embezzling and accepting bribes of a large amount.

The second-in-command was convicted of embezzling and accepting bribes of an exceptionally large amount and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Other accomplices face sentences ranging from three to ten years.

However, there was no mention of Fei Wenzhou and Yu Qing from beginning to end. Su Xiaosi disagreed and raised an objection, which was rejected by the court.

The day before Su Xiaosi was transferred to the detention center to serve her sentence, Fei Wenzhou and Yu Qing were granted special permission to visit her in prison.

Why did you try to harm me?

Su Xiaosi pressed her hand on the table, looking at Fei Wenzhou and Yu Qing across from her.

Yu Qing smiled, glanced at the prison guard standing not far away, and whispered, "Su Xiaosi, don't you pride yourself on being smart? How come you still don't understand? The teacher's goal has never been you. You were harmed by your older brother. Because your older brother didn't help you, you became a prisoner. If you want to hate someone, hate your older brother."

Su Xiaosi shook her head.

"You were using me all along, from the very beginning."

Fei Wenzhou smiled and said, "Yes, I had my eye on you from the beginning and wanted to use you, but unfortunately you're too incompetent, and you don't get along with your family. The only brother who cares about you, your eldest brother, is someone you don't listen to, so the relationship between the two brothers is very strained. We all thought you were useless..."

"Who knew we'd accidentally discover that your older brother had someone write you a note, telling you to work to pay off your debts to your classmates? I thought it was worth a gamble. But who knew your older brother, who seems so soft-hearted, would actually not bail you out, letting you go to jail. Of all your brothers, you're the smartest, yet you're the worst off. Su Yushun, don't you hate your brothers? Don't you hate your mother who abandoned you and left you to fend for yourself? I can help you; we can still work together, if you're willing..."

"Pooh!"

Su Xiaosi spat on Fei Wenzhou's chest. "Who wants to cooperate with a hypocrite like you? My mother abandoned me, so what if I'm not as good as my three older brothers? That's our family matter, what does it have to do with an outsider like you?! You think you can mess with them?! Do you think the person behind you is more powerful than Yan Shi?"

"Su Yushun, are you looking for death?!"

Yu Qing flew into a rage, glared at Su Xiaosi, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva off Fei Wenzhou's chest. The intimate manner and the undisguised affectionate contact made Su Xiaosi's eyes turn cold again.

"So you're Fei Wenzhou's man. No wonder you didn't bleed the night you were with me. To scheme against me, you actually let your woman sacrifice her body. Fei Wenzhou, do you even consider yourself a man?!"

Su Xiaosi gave a mocking smile and glanced at Yu Qing. "A man, for a little benefit, makes you go out and sleep with him, and you're still happily following along. Yu Qing, if you're so willing to degrade yourself, why are you even studying for a master's degree?"

"you!"

Yu Qing's handsome features were distorted with anger, but Fei Wenzhou stopped her, saying, "What's the point of arguing? Su Yushun, you're in jail while we're free. That's the difference."

"Yeah?"

Su Xiaosi shook her head, "I don't believe it! People like you won't get away with it. What goes around comes around. Just wait and see."

Seeing his confident expression, Fei Wenzhou frowned and exchanged a glance with Yu Qing.

Originally intending to make Su Xiaosi unhappy, the two ended up having a huge argument before she left.

Two months later, Fei Wenzhou and Yu Qing were arrested.

A large amount of cash was found in the homes of the two men. Fei Wenzhou had illegally profited by taking advantage of his position in education. Several of his graduate students had been exploited by him for personal gain.

They even set a trap to frame Su Xiaosi, attempting to use Su Xiaosi to control Su Laoda and cover up the criminal group under his name.

He was convicted of embezzling and accepting bribes amounting to millions of yuan and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Yu Qing, his mistress, handled hundreds of thousands of yuan and was sentenced to eleven years in prison.

Any of his students who violated laws or regulations were arrested and sentenced according to law once verified.

Su Xiaosi breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw the news broadcast on the prison television.

He knew it.

Neither the eldest brother nor the second brother would allow scum like Fei Wenzhou to continue doing bad things.

"9461, someone is visiting me in prison."

Su Xiaosi came out of the room and followed the prison guard to the visiting room, where he saw Su Laoda.

He smiled, walked over, and called out, "Big Brother."

Boss Su nodded.

"After much thought, I decided I should come see you in person. This time, your second brother pulled a lot of strings and used many connections to ensure Fei Wenzhou and the others got what they deserved. That's all we can do for you. You should reflect on your actions while you're inside. Of course..."

He looked at Su Xiaosi deeply and continued, "You can be disobedient like before. Your older brother has never been able to control you since you were little. He wanted to control you before, but he won't anymore. Xiaosi, you are in charge of your own life. From now on, you can only rely on yourself. Take care."

After saying these words, he nodded to Su Xiaosi, nodded to the prison guard behind him, and turned to leave.

Su Xiaosi took a step forward, then stopped and watched Su Laoda walk away.
