"He could very well go to jail," Qi Wenyuan said.

He actually thought that Li Qiqi would most likely go to jail because Li Qiqi was a foreigner, the victim was a local, xenophobia was very serious in the United States, and the victim's parents were relentlessly pursuing the matter. The possibility of Li Qiqi going to jail was extremely high.

Yu Anning swayed and asked in a trembling voice, "Qiqi is not yet an adult, she is only sixteen years old."

Seventeen is Li Qiqi's nominal age; her birthday is quite young, she has only just turned sixteen.

Qi Wenyuan shook his head. "The laws in the US are different. There are precedents to refer to there. The youngest death row inmate there is fourteen years old, and there are some sixteen-year-olds who have been sentenced to life imprisonment. Qiqi is already sixteen years old and can fully bear criminal responsibility."

Yu Anning's vision went black for a while, and Qi Wenyuan took out some pills for her and fed them to her.

"Don't worry too much. Maybe Qiqi has nothing to do with this case. Even if she does, there are ways to get her released on bail, but it will require a considerable amount of money," Qi Wenyuan advised.

Yu Anning gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "I will not bail her out. Since she has the ability to commit crimes, she has the ability to bear the consequences."

Qi Wenyuan shook his head. Yu Anning was just saying things out of anger. She was so angry because she still cared about and had expectations for Li Qiqi. If there was any way to save Li Qiqi, she would definitely do everything she could.

He didn't care about the money; he was just worried about whether Li Qiqi was worth Yu Anning giving everything for.

Such a big matter requires Yu Anning to inform the Li family. In any case, she can't leave for the time being and has to wait for the principal to complete the procedures.

"What did you say? Qiqi broke the law? How could that be? Anning, stop trying to smear your own daughter. Qiqi couldn't possibly have done anything illegal. I've taught Qiqi to obey the law and not to do anything illegal since she was little, and she remembers it all perfectly."

Li's mother had great confidence in her granddaughter. Her whole family were legal professionals with a strong sense of law. They had taught her granddaughter these basic legal principles since she was a child. She would believe that Li Qiqi had made bad friends, but she would never believe that she had done anything illegal.

Yu Anning sneered, "The US called the school to prepare to repatriate Qiqi because her grades have plummeted and she has failed several courses. The worst part is that she conspired with her friends to have her roommate raped. This roommate is a local, and her parents are social elites. They will not let Qiqi go. You should prepare yourselves. Qiqi is very likely to be sentenced to prison."

Li's mother's vision went black and she almost fell, but fortunately Li Jingshan caught her.

"Old Li, did you hear that? Qiqi will be sentenced. How could this happen? What exactly happened..." Li's mother suddenly looked very old.

Even if she refused to believe it, she could only face the facts. The school had notified Yu Anning, so it was true. Her granddaughter had really committed a crime, and a serious one at that.

"She...she's confused..."

Li's mother was filled with disappointment and wept, covering her face. How could she have such a disappointing granddaughter, wasting all her seventeen years of hard work?

Despite her anger, Li's mother couldn't bear to see her granddaughter's future ruined, and said to Yu Anning, "Qiqi is only seventeen years old, not yet an adult, she shouldn't be sentenced."

Li Jingshan sighed and said in a deep voice, "The laws in the United States are different. There are precedents for sentencing people over the age of sixteen. As long as there are precedents, judges can cite those cases. Qiqi's case... is indeed very troublesome."
