Chapter 124 Rare Treasures
Knowing that Wang Hu had no chance of escaping unscathed, Chen Jingyang relaxed considerably and asked Zhang Pengfei seriously, "Then what is the most likely sentence he will receive?"
Zhang Pengfei shook his head: "It's hard to say for sure. If he can fully cooperate, return the stolen goods and make compensation, expose and report crimes, and make significant contributions, he might be sentenced to three to five years in prison."
Expose and report? If Wang Hu were to expose and report, Chen Qinian would definitely be the first to be finished!
Therefore, the probability of Wang Hu reporting and exposing Chen Qinian is absolutely zero. Not only will he not report or expose Chen Qinian, he will also put all the blame on himself to ensure that Chen Qinian is not affected in the slightest!
“Generally speaking…” Zhang Pengfei flipped through the materials in his hand and gave his final conclusion: “The court may partially adopt the defense’s arguments, finding that some evidence is flawed or that some amounts are not sufficiently related, thereby reducing the amount of the crime to some extent.”
"If Wang Hu's defense lawyer is effective, and Wang Hu shows a good attitude in admitting his guilt after being brought to justice and actively returns the embezzled funds, he should be sentenced to a term of 10 to 15 years if he is convicted of multiple crimes."
This is almost exactly the same as Attorney Zhu's analysis!
But Chen Jingyang will not give Wang Hu any chance to reduce his sentence!
Tanzhihui filed a lawsuit against Wang Hu as the plaintiff, demanding that he compensate the company for all economic losses caused by his criminal acts, and completely blocking his path to a reduced sentence by returning the stolen goods and making restitution!
Furthermore, as long as Chen Jingyang is still at Tanzhi, he will never issue a "Letter of Understanding" to Wang Hu!
He not only wanted Wang Hu to serve 20 years in prison, but also wanted him to go bankrupt and be burdened with huge debts for life!
Only in this way can he atone for his crime of publicly humiliating Zhang Pengfei!
Only then can Chen Jingyang's hatred be relieved!
Zhang Pengfei put down his materials and rubbed his forehead. Chen Jingyang immediately reached out and gently massaged his temples: "Are you tired?"
Zhang Pengfei hummed in agreement and slowly leaned back in his chair, making it easier for Chen Jingyang to massage him more comfortably.
Whether it was because he hadn't fully recovered or because of a lingering effect of the surgery, he couldn't think for too long, or he would get a headache.
Chen Jingyang felt a pang of sympathy and hesitated before discussing it with him: "Baby, can't we not become criminal defense lawyers? Wouldn't it be better if we took the postgraduate entrance exam, got a doctorate, and became university professors?"
Chen Jingyang often called him "Baby". At first, Zhang Pengfei asked why, but Chen Jingyang just said "nickname" and he was fooled. After that, he always thought that his nickname was "Baby" and let Chen Jingyang call him that.
"Let's talk about it later. Didn't you say that Attorney Zhu wanted to take me on as his apprentice? Was my answer just now satisfactory?"
That's certainly acceptable!
If we set aside the part about Chen Jingyang, Zhang Pengfei's memory has been almost completely restored, and even if he can't remember some things, it's within the normal range of forgetfulness.
Moreover, this person fully demonstrated a spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue, always exceeding the various tasks assigned by the therapist, and the speed of recovery was astonishing.
Chen Jingyang's movements were slow and gentle, and his voice also became softer: "Actually, Attorney Zhu has already agreed that if your health permits, you can start working at his law firm after the New Year."
Zhang Pengfei abruptly pulled his head back, turned around and glared at Chen Jingyang: "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I've been thinking about this every day!"
"I'm just worried about putting pressure on you," Chen Jingyang said with a wry smile. "The closer you get to the recovery stage, the more vigilant you need to be. I hope you can prioritize your health."
"Hmph!" Zhang Pengfei rolled his eyes and stood up. "I want to take a shower by myself today."
"No way!" Chen Jingyang immediately looked anxious: "What if I lose my balance and fall, bump into something? I have to watch you wash it!"
Zhang Pengfei was reluctant: "I can walk very steadily now! Taking a shower is just standing, I won't fall, and there are handrails and a shower chair in the bathroom!"
"That won't do!" Chen Jingyang still refused. "Better safe than sorry! I need to keep an eye on things until your rehabilitation treatment is completely finished!"
Zhang Pengfei sighed: "Fine! Since that's the case, you can't just watch today. You can wash me and be my bath attendant."
After regaining his self-care ability, Zhang Pengfei never let Chen Jingyang scrub his body again. He hoped to train himself to regain all his life skills as soon as possible. Each time, Chen Jingyang would just stand by and watch him wash, like a painting pasted on the wall.
Sister Li had already left, leaving only the two of them in the room. Zhang Pengfei didn't need to avoid suspicion, so he took off his clothes in the bedroom and went into the bathroom to lie down on the shower chair.
It seems he doesn't plan to do anything himself at all today.
Chen Jingyang also went in, took the showerhead, squatted down, and started washing Zhang Pengfei's hair.
Zhang Pengfei's hair was black, soft, and thick, and his hairstyle was the same as before, only a little longer. If you didn't part it, you wouldn't be able to see the scar that was more than ten centimeters long on the side of his ear.
The wound had long since healed, and the scar had become a light brown mark, winding along the curve of his ear, like a medal witnessing his survival through life and death.
But Chen Jingyang still didn't dare to touch the shallow scar, always afraid that it would hurt him.
"How's the water temperature?" The water flowed merrily through his hair, a few splashes landing on Zhang Pengfei's forehead. His eyes were closed, his long, curved eyelashes fluttering occasionally, like a bird spreading its wings.
"Can."
He likes to take a bath in 40-degree water. The slightly warm water flows quickly over his skin, causing his blood to rush to his head. It feels warm, itchy, and very comfortable.
"Chen Jingyang, does Chen Qinian know about the report against Director Wang?"
Chen Jingyang fixed the shower head, squeezed the shampoo into his palm, rubbed it a few times, and then gently pressed it onto Zhang Pengfei's hair, slowly drawing circles with his fingertips.
"I don't know. It's impossible for him to know unless the criminal investigation department has already taken action."
Zhang Pengfei was silent for a moment: "He definitely won't let this go, will he?"
Chen Jingyang gently scratched his head with his fingers and said softly, "Don't worry, I've got you covered. He can't cause any trouble!"
"Won't many people in the company be implicated? Will it affect the project with Zenti?"
"No!" Chen Jingyang picked up the showerhead and carefully rinsed away the foam: "The project team members were all carefully selected. Even if a few individuals are affected, it is completely within a controllable range."
Is the project progressing smoothly?
Chen Jingyang took the showerhead and began to wash Zhang Pengfei's body, starting from his neck and gradually moving downwards.
For the past six months, Zhang Pengfei has spent most of his time in the ward. His already fair skin has become even more delicate. When rubbed by the hands, it immediately turns pink, like peach blossoms after the rain, making it exceptionally lovely.
"It's going very smoothly, and we expect to start small-batch verification after the Spring Festival."
"That's good."
The bathroom lights were bright and soft, illuminating every detail.
Chen Jingyang's breathing gradually changed, and the temperature under his palms rose higher and higher as he gently washed Zhang Pengfei's body, as if he were washing a most cherished rare treasure.
