A week later, He Ci's case was heard in the High Court. Lu Zhou was He Ci's defense lawyer, and the case proceeded smoothly.
Although it was an internal gang conflict, He Ci was the victim. In addition, He Ci's bride died at the wedding, and Lu Zhou used his silver tongue to reduce He Ci's sentence to one year.
Yu Zhengde and Yu Huan were sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly intentionally injuring someone with a gun and extorting a large sum of money from others.
A Bao killed Yu Ping and was convicted of intentional homicide and extortion. He was sentenced to multiple crimes, and Lu Zhou brought his previous crimes to court. A Bao was executed by firing squad.
Yu Huan was indignant. The dead were members of the Yu family, so why did it become a breakthrough point for He Ci's exoneration? And the extortion of other people's property was also indignant. It was originally a betrothal gift that He Zhan said he would give to their family, so how did it become extortion in the mouths of these people?
Yu Huan hadn't realized that what He Zhan had given him was indeed a betrothal gift, not extortion. It was only later that Yu Zhengde felt that three territories were too few and wanted them all, as those territories belonged to the He family.
The case was quickly concluded, and He Ci had no objection to the verdict. The incident had a rather negative impact, resulting in the arrest of four or five hundred people, including both high-ranking officials and low-ranking henchmen.
During his imprisonment, He Ci was well-connected wherever he went. Within two months, he had become the top dog in the prison, and his remarkable achievements outside quickly spread throughout the prison.
Some people envied him, some people pitied him, but most people envied his good fortune in being able to share a cell with a gangster's son. It was something they could brag about for a long time.
What sympathized with him was that his wife died shortly after their marriage, and soon the news spread in the prison that Cong Ci had killed off his wife.
From the sweltering summer to the vibrant autumn, and then to the snow-covered winter, there are only a few days left until the new year begins.
Since receiving He Ci's call that time, Su Ning has not heard from him again. Su Ning dares not ask or inquire.
During this time, Su Tian, Sun Man, and Wang Meng returned home, bringing tens of thousands of yuan with them. This amount might not seem like much in Hong Kong, but it was a lot in the rural areas of the 1990s.
Su Tian came to see Su Ning several times, but hesitated to speak, unsure how to tell Su Ning about He Ci. In the end, Su Tian did not reveal He Ci's existence.
In the past six months, Su Ning has also started her own business, and she has taken her parents to grow flowers in her hometown.
Having never worked with flowers before, Su Ning was clueless. Later, she learned a lot at the flower shop. Actually, the land here is very suitable for growing flowers.
Knowing that Su Ning had the idea of growing flowers, Zhu Zhou traveled to many cities to find the flower seeds that Su Ning wanted.
At first, Su Ning was ridiculed by many people for planting flowers in the village. Only Li Mei, Su Qiang, Zhu Zhou, and Su Lei supported her.
As the first batch of flowers gradually bloomed, Su Ning personally promoted them to each flower shop. At first, sales were not very good, since Su Ning's flowers were all very rare.
Especially pink and white roses. Most people are familiar with red roses, so seeing Su Ning's pink and white roses was quite rare, but they were too expensive.
Fortunately, Su Ning did not give up. She went to the city and talked to several high-end flower shops. Because of her experience, Su Ning was very confident when introducing her products.
Su Ning planted these two flowers because of their symbolic meanings, and she told the shop owner about these meanings when she was promoting them.
The shop owner found it very strange; if Su Ning hadn't explained, she would have had no idea that each flower had such a beautiful meaning.
The meaning of pink roses: a declaration of love, a first love and confession that is etched in the heart.
The meaning of white roses: innocent and pure love; I am worthy of you.
Only Zhu Zhou knew that Su Ning was still waiting for He Ci; that man was always a ray of light in her heart.
As Zhu Zhou watched Su Ning improve day by day, unlike when she first returned and was constantly distracted, he would bring her many rare flower seeds every time he came back from a business trip.
Unfortunately, the best flowers Su Ning could grow were only pink and white roses. Later, Su Ning gave up on growing other flowers and only grew pink and white roses.
Su Ning took good care of the flowers. Fearing they would freeze to death in winter, she asked her father to have a greenhouse built. Su Qiang and Li Mei never expected that the flowers their daughter grew would be so valuable.
