Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 720 The Downfall Of The Sun Family (2)

Generally speaking, the effective period of investigation for the crime of intentional murder and actual murder was 20 years, but the incident regarding Han Yichen happened more than 20 years ago. In other words… the three lives back then had already passed the period of investigation, so Sun Fengzi could not be convicted.

However, this rule had another premise, which was that the offender would not commit the same crime in the future. If they committed it again, the period would be extended. Sun Fengzi had accidentally stepped on this landmine!

Sun Fengzi did not seem to be very clear about the law. She probably only knew that the matter of her setting up three people to die seemed serious. However, as long as the time limit of the legal investigation was over 20 years, nothing would happen. That was why she admitted to it so righteously in the Zhao family that day, even to the extent of being arrogant.

However, this time, she was destined to miscalculate.

This time, Sun Fengzi had paid the kidnappers to attempt to kidnap An Yue. Although her life was not harmed in the end, it could still be considered an attempted kidnapping. Moreover, Sun Fengzi had specifically instructed those people to get rid of An Yue’s child if they could not kidnap her. This could also be considered as an attempted murder. Therefore, her old crimes would also be brought back from the freezer.

This was akin to a person being given a suspended sentence. Although they did not need to go to jail immediately, if they were to commit another crime during this period of time, they would be charged with both crimes, and the crimes would be superimposed.

The paperwork was unceremoniously and quickly meted out. Under the combined punishment of several crimes, Sun Fengzi’s sentence was quickly handed down.

She would be sentenced to a term of at least ten years.

Sun Fengzi was no longer young. Even at the minimum of ten years, it was questionable if she would walk out of prison.

Zhao Youlin heard that the court’s verdict was so straightforward that it almost felt surreal. After all, when she returned to the Zhao family, she had heard people repeatedly mention Sun Fengzi’s somewhat troublesome political background, especially Sun Fengzi’s father. It seemed that he had quite a powerful background.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Sun Fengzi dared to be so arrogant and domineering in the Zhao family all these years.

Why was it that the Sun family did not make any movements when Sun Fengzi was in such big trouble? No matter how she looked at it, it was somewhat abnormal.

Zhao Youlin’s question was quickly answered. It turned out that a few months ago, several relatives of Sun Fengzi’s family who were officials had been accused of embezzlement and bribery.

This was especially so for Sun Fengzi’s father. Apparently, he could not withstand the blow of the Sun family’s collapse. He suffered from a stroke more than a month ago and was still lying in the hospital. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead. The people of the Sun family either went to prison or fled overseas, or they hid their identities or went to prison. There were actually very few of them left.

Sun Fengzi’s mom was worried that her daughter would also be affected if she ever learned of it, so she kept it from her for her protection.

Unfortunately, Sun Fengzi’s mother probably didn’t expect that the daughter she wanted to protect would be so bold. She had cut off her own escape route.

The foundation of the Sun family was not in Shalnork, but in Alice, which was almost across Zelford. It was so far away that the Sun family might not be able to reach Shalnork if Sun Fengzi ever got into trouble.

And as the saying goes, a daughter who is married off can only splash the shores. After Sun Fengzi was married off, she gained some standing in the Sun family. Every contact with her was basically related to money, or if there was something she wanted their help with.

Most people were profit-seeking creatures. The so-called myth of “selflessness” was pure fiction. Once or twice, I could help you for free, but after three, four, five, or six times, all pretenses would be dropped.

After Sun Fengzi married, she never really brought any tangible benefits to the Sun family. Instead, she only troubled them and tried to curry favor from them. Moreover, she even acted as if it was a matter of course for them to fulfill her whims. Asking them for help was their honor to accept. Over time, no matter how good-tempered a person was, they would grow weary of it.

Therefore, when Sun Fengzi’s mother learned of Sun Fengzi’s accident this time, she could only cry like a baby. She couldn’t help, even if she wanted to. Those who still had some remaining influence and could help a little had long given up on Sun Fengzi. Even if they could, they did not want to help.

Under such circumstances, Sun Fengzi could only be the meat on the chopping board, waiting to be butchered.

Zhao Youlin sneered when she found out about this. She sighed in her heart, “As expected, the wicked will be punished by Heaven. Sun Fengzi has always been namedropping her family name like golden eggs, right? Now that even her family has fallen, what else can she do?”

Mu Tingfeng pulled Zhao Youlin into his arms from behind and looked at the lush garden under the French window with her.

In the middle of the garden, a four-or five-year-old child was running around with a chubby dog. The dog’s cheerful barking was mixed with the child’s crisp laughter. It was extremely harmonious.

“Sun Fengzi has been crippled. Zhao Yifei… What are you going to do with him? Should we…?!

Zhao Youlin’s lips curved slightly. She lightly interrupted his unfinished words, “There’s no need for us to do anything. Zhao Yifei’s heart is as high as the sky. Previously, he relied on his status as the young master of the Zhao family to do all sorts of mischief. Now that he has suddenly fallen from heaven to hell, he can’t be feeling good about it. This was only the beginning. Very soon, he will realize what it truly means to lose his status as the young master of the Zhao family. If he wants to continue staying in Shalnork, it will be difficult for him. His life will be worse than living hell.”

At this point, Zhao Youlin deliberately paused, her hand subconsciously touching her slightly protruding belly. “And now that we have a child, it’s better not to be take big risks. Just… just treat it as accumulating virtue for our child.”

Mu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard that. After he reacted to what Zhao Youlin said just now, he smiled slightly. The hand that was originally supporting Zhao Youlin’s waist also reached out to the front and interlocked with Zhao Youlin’s fingers that were supporting her belly.

The two of them leaned against each other so tightly that they did not need to talk much. Their hearts were already one. The warmth gradually spread around the two of them. It made people feel that the two of them should be like this, and no one else could get in.

After a long while, Zhao Youlin suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She stared at Joy and Sparta in the garden downstairs. She took the initiative to say, “In a little while, it will probably snow at grandfather’s side. When the time comes, let’s take Joy out of the country to meet him and take a break, okay?”
