Before entering prison, Zhang Kou met with Su Bai once more.
Besides expressing his gratitude, he also had his friend prepare the legal fees.
As he had said before, Zhang Kou converted his assets into cash and paid a substantial sum in legal fees.
Zhang Kou also knew what Su Bai was thinking and feared that he would refuse the payment.
So while paying the legal fees, he kept saying:
"Lawyer Su... we agreed on these legal fees beforehand."
"Paying White Jun Law Firm the agreed fees... gives me something to answer to, both for myself and for my mother."
"So..."
"Lawyer Su... I know the legal fees I'm paying for this case might exceed the usual amount."
"But you're worth that price, Lawyer Su!"
"At least in my opinion, from where I stand, these legal fees are very reasonable!"
With Zhang Kou putting it that way, Su Bai did not protest too much.
He also knew that obtaining justice for Zhang Kou's mother was extraordinarily important to Zhang Kou.
It simply could not be measured in money.
The high legal fees were also an expression of his gratitude.
Su Bai therefore did not refuse too insistently.
Later, when Zhang Chuancheng was executed, Su Bai went to the site to watch.
He also informed Zhang Kou of what happened afterward.
Right before the execution, Zhang Chuancheng wept bitterly as he faced death.
He kept recounting his past crimes, displaying great regret and remorse, and repeatedly striking himself to show his hatred for his past illegal and criminal acts.
Even in his final moments, he kept saying that he knew he had been wrong, hoping for a miracle in the time he had left.
One that could spare him the death penalty.
But his death sentence had already reached the execution
