After so many days apart, Yuan Qi had long since lost her air of a wealthy society lady. Though she was still respectably dressed, her face alone showed that life had not been treating her well.
"Ningke, please think of something. Save your brother! He's never suffered a day in his life. How could he possibly endure life in there?"
Yuan Qi tried to take his hand, but Yan Ningke discreetly avoided her. Her mind was entirely on Yan Zhen, so she paid it no heed, anxiously voicing her plea. "Ningke, Zhenzhen is a little spoiled, and he's argued with you before, but he's still your brother! Something's happened to your father now, too. If you won't help him, he'll be finished!"
In truth, he was already finished. The crimes Yan Zhen and his classmates had committed had had an appalling impact, and practically everyone was following the case. On top of that, Lin Yechen was keeping an eye on it.
The authorities had brought the case to a close with remarkable speed, handling it swiftly, severely, and strictly.
They had all been sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of a reduced sentence. These monsters did not deserve a quick death. They would struggle to survive in prison, suffer endless torment, and spend the rest of their lives repenting for what they had done to their victims.
Yan Ningke said nothing, leaning against the car as he quietly watched her.
Yuan Qi was beside herself with anxiety. "Say something! Fine, even if you don't want to help your brother, what about your father? Surely you have to help him!"
In Yuan Qi's mind, parents were the ultimate authority. Even if they had indeed neglected Yan Ningke in the past, hadn't they still raised him with good food and drink?
