Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan had already denied it before they came. Anyway, the contract and passbook were lost, and there was no evidence to prove it, so they were not afraid.
However, their confidence was completely shattered after seeing the evidence presented by Lan Shuang.
The diary, the bloodstained clothes, the sales agreement signed with Liu Min, and the passbook they lost that year were all in Lan Shuang's hands.
Every time she took out an item, Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan would collapse more. In the end, they could not defend themselves at all and simply threw a tantrum in court, saying that they were Lan Shuang's parents, that they gave her life and that they had the right to dispose of it.
The lawyer shook his head after hearing this. How ignorant of the law is this?
The judge was speechless after hearing this.
Lan Shuang also brought Liu Min with her. Now that there was both witnesses and evidence, there was no way for her to deny it.
According to the law, anyone who abducts and sells women and children, even if they are biological parents, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined. (1)
In addition, they had been abusing and beating the underage Lan Shuang for a long time, and were suspected of intentional injury. After Lan Shuang's lawyer argued for it, Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan were sentenced to 13 years in prison for multiple crimes. As for the fine, Lan Shuang did not want it and gave it to Lan Mao.
After all, he would have to live without his parents for the next thirteen years, but how to live was not within her consideration.
Liu Min was sentenced to eight years. He burst into tears when the verdict was announced. Lan Shuang just watched coldly. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions, whether it is one year or four years. The punishment is late but it comes.
