After a two-month investigation period, the procuratorate formally issued a letter approving the arrest, the court filed the case, and four months later, the case was formally opened.

As Xia Yongcai's only immediate family, Grandma Xia, who was in her 60s and frail and sickly, traveled a long distance and traveled tirelessly to Kuncheng for such a scum-like son.

At this time, it was already the end of the year.

And these things, Xia Kites didn't know originally.

Until grandma arrived in Kuncheng. Because she was not worried about the old lady's health, Dai Ling of the Township Poverty Alleviation Office specially applied to accompany her. After arriving in Kuncheng, she thought about it, and called Zhao Junsheng, the driver of the You family, and it was only at this time that Xia Yuandie learned about Xia Yongcai.

Extortion, the amount involved is 200,000.

"Ten or ten years or less?"

Kuncheng, in a guest house.

Listening to the words of the legal aid lawyer Dai Ling had just spoken, Grandma Xia suddenly froze on the sofa in fright.

Seeing that the old lady's face was not good, Dai Ling hurriedly whispered to coax:

"Grandma Xia, don't worry too much. I have just asked Lawyer Yao that in the case of Uncle Yongcai, if he truthfully confesses all his crimes after being arrested, and most of the money is returned, he can basically be given a lighter punishment, which is possible for three to five years. ”

"Light, yes, light, I know, Lingling said on the way," Grandma Xia held Dai Ling's hand a little disgracefully, "Lingling, does it have to be three or five years?" As far as my body is concerned, if I squat for five years, then ...... Then I can't even see him for the last time? ”

"Grandma Xia, you can't say that!" Dai Ling pretended to be grim, "Fluttershy won't be here soon, if you curse yourself like this, I'm going to sue her." ”

"Bugs..."

Speaking of her granddaughter, the old lady had red circles in her eyes, and she whispered, "I shouldn't tell her, she's in the third year of high school, and I'm going to delay the child's ......."

On the sofa where the two were sitting side by side, Legal Aid lawyer Yao paused and looked up from the document: "Miss Dai is referring to Xia Yongcai's niece, Xia Kitese, right?" ”

"Yes," Dai Ling's face changed slightly, "will this matter have any effect on her in the future?" ”

"Oh no, Miss Dai, don't get me wrong, these two are not immediate family members, and they won't have any impact on Xia Kites."

Dai Ling has always regarded Xia Iris as half of her own sister, and she was obviously relieved when she heard this.

Lawyer Yao: "But as far as I know, Xia Yuandie seems to have a lot to do with the victim in this case? ”

“……”

The room was silent.

The lawyer reacted: "I'm sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear to the two of you. The victim of this case, who is also the informant, is none other than You Lie, the only son of Mr. You, who sponsored Xia Yuandie's high school studies. ”

Grandma Xia was stunned.

Dai Ling was shocked: "The 200,000, he blackmailed with the You family?" ”

"Yes, judging from the information and exchange materials issued by You Lie to the prosecution, Mr. Xia Yongcai used ......" Lawyer Yao paused, "to threaten the disclosure of some of Xia Yuandie's personal and family past circumstances, and ordered You Lie to transfer money a total of three times, totaling 200,000 yuan." ”

“……”

Dai Ling was shocked.

Since she started working in the Poverty Alleviation Office, she has always been in charge of the Xia family, and she knows a lot about the situation at home, but even so, she is a little hard to believe that Xia Yongcai can be so shameless as to threaten to hurt his niece and ask for money from an outsider who has no family relationship.

It's, it's just-

"It's that I can't live with the worm, how did I give birth to such a thing...... Yongcai, he's here to collect debts, he, he's a debt collector! ”

Grandma Xia almost had an emotional breakdown, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

When the elderly are old, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems are not good, and where can they withstand the ups and downs of emotions.

Dai Ling didn't care about thinking about anything else, and comforted in a low voice.

Lawyer Yao was obviously accustomed to seeing the various emotions of the client or the client's family, and his face did not change until Grandma Xia calmed down a little, and he resumed his words.

"The sentencing situation that Miss Dai just said is basically in line with it, but if this is the case, then there is still a bigger room for us to fight for in this case."

"W-What leeway?" Grandma Xia wiped her tears and looked up.

"In this kind of criminal case, if the victim is willing to issue a letter of understanding, it will be of great help to reduce the sentence and sentencing."

Lawyer Yao was stunned, his expression a little subtle.

The two of them should also have some understanding, although this reporter has just come of age this year, with his family background and conditions, it should not be a matter of caring about the 200,000 yuan. If we can get a letter of understanding from him, then I think the final sentence can be reduced to less than three years. ”

Dai Ling explained to Grandma Xia for a while, and Grandma Xia slowly understood.

Perhaps because of eagerness, the furrow-like folds on the old man's face were squeezed deeper, and she asked a little timidly: "Ke Yongcai asked for money from others, can the child be willing?" ”

Lawyer Yao smiled: "This requires communication and negotiation between you and you. If it is not convenient for you, I can contact you on your behalf......"

"Tuk, tuk."

There was a knock on the door of the guest house.

Dai Ling got up: "It should be Fluttershy's arrived, I'll open the door." ”

Xia Butterfly came in the same car as You Lie.

The driver, Uncle Zhao, drove the car, and the two people in the back row sat left and left, and sat right and right. The whole journey was 34 minutes by car, and the two men barely said a word between them.

Uncle Zhao felt that he had to live half a month less on this trip.

Outside the somewhat simple and remote guest house, when the stretch car slowly stopped, it had already attracted an unknown amount of attention.

The driver's uncle habitually opened the back door first.

Without waiting for the door to open automatically, You Lie got out of the car first, and then pressed it back against the door that was about to open on the driver's side.

"Bang."

Shocked, Uncle Zhao hurriedly lowered the window and looked out of the window blankly: "Little sir? ”

"Don't stop here. The car drove out and came back later. ”

You Lie's expression was a little tired, and he whispered a word when he turned around, bypassed the front of the car, and walked towards Xia Kitese getting out of the car.

Summer Butterflies are standing on the side of the road.

The two boys passing by also looked back in surprise from behind her.

"It's a Rolls-Royce!"

"I'll go to the legendary starry sky, just look handsome, I didn't pay attention to it, I knew to take a picture when I walked over."

"But how did this car get here?"

"Hell yes......"

The Rolls-Royce restarted, and the silence slipped away from the old street.

Xia Butterfly suppressed her emotions and when she looked up, You Lie stopped in front of her.

The lacquered eyes stared down at her.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds.

You Lie sighed lightly: "How long are you going to ignore me and at least give me a sentence?" ”

"I'm not angry." Xia Butterfly looked at him.

A second or two later, probably under the sight of You Lie, who was always able to easily pierce her barrier, the little fox lost his eyes with some weakness: "Even if there is, the main part is not angry with you." ”

You Lie didn't believe it: "Then who are you angry about." ”

"Myself."

“？”

Xia Yuandie had already received Dai Ling's phone call, and she also knew the room number of the guest house, so she hesitated and walked towards this low old building that was a little old.

"At first I was thinking, you never told me about it, maybe you took it for granted to make decisions for me."

Xia Butterfly was talking as she went upstairs, when suddenly someone grabbed her wrist from behind.

The force wasn't heavy, it didn't pull her back, it just stopped her.

Summer Kite turned around.

You Lie stood on the stairs two steps lower than her, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharp like this when he rarely looked at her, as if he was suppressing his anger.

But when he met her eyes, the dark emotions in his eyes collapsed in a few seconds.

The long thick eyelashes slowly closed, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Xia Iris." ”

"Don't you have a long conscience?"

This feeling came abruptly and inexplicably, but Xia Butterfly looked at You Lie as if she could feel his sadness for a second.

Xia Butterfly was also a little sad.

"You can't hide it from me, say nothing, and ask me not to have the slightest bad idea." The girl hesitated, hooked her hand, and grabbed his cuff back, "But I thought about it later, you are not." ”

You Lie raised his eyes suddenly.

Before he could see the girl's expression at the moment, Xia Butterfly had already turned around and dragged him by the sleeve to the second floor: "I said, I'm angry with myself. After thinking about what I just did, I was thinking, you are Uncle You's son, and I accept the You family's sponsorship, why should I ask of you. Why...... I will ask for much more emotional feedback from you than others. ”

"Do you figure it out?"

The girl paused: "Probably." ”

You Lie's eyes shook slightly, and even his breathing was a little tight: "What about the conclusion." ”

“……”

The little fox won't fall for him.

So turning the staircase on the second floor, Xia Yuandie glanced at him quietly: "Conclusion, I'll tell you after the college entrance examination is over." ”

The little fox narrowed the corners of his eyes: "Before that, don't try to disturb my study." ”

“——”

It's like a heart being grabbed violently, and then suddenly released and falling to the bottom.

You Lie's eyes darkened.

But the little fox who was walking in front looked very ruthless, and without looking back, he loosened his cuffs, and when he had made sure he was in the right direction, he went straight to the left.

After stopping in place for a few seconds, You Lie sighed lowly.

Less than half a year.
