Upon hearing Ye Beiping mention Su Ze, Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua sat up straight, not daring to speak easily, for fear of revealing something.
"I've looked into this matter; getting them out will be very difficult. This is a joint enforcement operation involving multiple locations, not just Hangzhou, but also other provinces..."
hiss!
Although they had seen some of it in the newspapers before, Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua were still taken aback when Ye Beiping told them the specifics.
At the same time, Min Yuehua lowered her head and her eyes reddened.
Seeing that the elderly couple remained silent, Ye Beiping continued, "However, Su Ze's involvement is not deep, so getting him out of trouble is definitely not an option. But he can take the initiative to confess and try to get leniency. If he confesses voluntarily, he can also try to get a reduced sentence."
"What?" Min Yuehua asked, her lips trembling and her eyes red.
Seeing his mother-in-law like this, Ye Beiping didn't want to say anything too provocative. He could only calmly say, "I've already pulled some strings so we can see Su Ze tomorrow. So whether you can persuade him to plead guilty and get a reduced sentence depends on you."
"Really?" Su Qingwen was also extremely surprised when he heard that he could go see his son.
You know, the couple went to a lot of people, but as soon as they heard it was about this matter, everyone avoided talking about it or even kept their distance.
Unexpectedly, Ye Beiping actually found connections that allowed them to take a look.
Ye Beiping nodded and explained, "Originally, visits were not allowed until the case was closed. But I thought that if we could get Su Ze to plead guilty and get a reduced sentence, we would need you two to persuade him. So I discussed it with them and agreed to allow you to visit, but there are time restrictions."
"Okay, okay, as long as I can see people, that's enough." Su Qingwen remained relatively rational.
Being able to see his son was already a great achievement for Ye Beiping, considering how many connections he and his wife had used to try and still couldn't get him to visit. And this was only a week since their son-in-law arrived in Hangzhou; they had managed to secure visitation time.
Min Yuehua glanced at Su Qingwen, then turned her gaze to Ye Beiping, her lips trembling as she softly asked, "Is there really no way to rescue Xiaoze?"
Looking at his pitiful and pathetic mother-in-law, Ye Beiping shook his head coldly and expressionlessly.
At times like these, you can't give her even the slightest bit of hope, otherwise this matter will never end.
Actually, when Ye Beiping agreed to Min Yuehua's request, he privately told Su Qingwen that it was impossible to save her, and that he should go back and persuade his mother-in-law not to have any hope.
Over the past few days, Min Yuehua and Su Qingwen have argued and fought, and she has tried countless possibilities. Perhaps she has resigned herself to her fate, or perhaps she has come to terms with reality.
When Ye Beiping shook his head, Min Yuehua, unusually, did not act like a shrew, but silently shed tears.
Su Qingwen knew exactly what Min Yuehua was thinking, and quickly asked, "Beiping, if someone confesses voluntarily, how long will their sentence be reduced?"
This was a question that everyone was concerned about, and even Su Xinyi looked at Ye Beiping.
Although he didn't want to get involved, Su Ze was still his younger brother. Saving him was impossible, but he could still ask about the situation.
Ye Beiping took a deep breath: "Based on the amount involved, the sentence should normally be between three and ten years. If he pleads guilty and shows a good attitude, we can try to negotiate, and he might be released in a year."
Thinking of Su Ze's personality, he couldn't help but remind Su Qingwen, "Dad, you know what kind of person Su Ze is. Maybe this time we can help him reform himself and get rid of his bad habits. It might not be a bad thing."
Waaaaah!
Upon hearing this, Min Yuehua completely broke down and burst into tears.
“My poor Xiaoze, even if he only gets a year, what will he do after he gets out? His life will be ruined.”
She wasn't wrong.
In this era, there is almost zero tolerance for people who have been to prison or have a criminal record.
If they hear that you've been to jail or have a criminal record, your neighbors might try to move to a different house if you're not poor.
Not to mention finding a job, and the opinions of those colleagues.
And getting married and having children is even more difficult.
Ye Beiping had experienced this kind of perspective in his previous life and had personally witnessed it. In the end, he could only sigh deeply and hope that Su Ze would be a good person after he came out.
