The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 294: Could it be… Life Imprisonment_1

She understood the pain of being confined.

The sight of her dearest and most respected individual suffering here was a feeling that no one else could comprehend.

Hai Xiaotang also vowed to rescue her grandfather.

However, no matter how much they questioned her, Hai Zhiyuan wouldn’t say anything, only that he was the one who did it.

Even in spite of Hai Xiaotang’s pleas, he remained silent.

“Xiaotang, your grandfather doesn’t want to explain the specifics. However, it was indeed him who did it, there’s no need for you to go to the trouble of investigating anything.”

In short, this was all Hai Zhiyuan would say, no matter how much they asked.

Unable to get anything more from him, Hai Xiaotang left feeling disappointed, alongside Tao Yi.

On the way home, Tao Yi comforted her, “Xiaotang, don’t worry too much about your grandfather. I’ll ensure that someone takes good care of him, he won’t come to harm there.”

Hai Xiaotang was very grateful, “Thank you, elder brother Tao…”

After a moment of hesitation, she asked again, “If my grandfather really is found guilty, how long do you think he’ll be sentenced for?”

Tao Yi pondered soberly, “This is not a minor case, and the charges are not light. Although your grandfather has made significant contributions in the past, as you know, all are equal before the law. So, I think… maybe life imprisonment.”

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes widened in shock, “What did you say?!”

“Life imprisonment?” Hai Xiaotang shook her head, her face pale, “That’s impossible, my grandfather is in his 80s, does that mean he’ll be in there until he dies?!”

Tao Yi’s mood was also heavy, “Xiaotang, don’t get too agitated, I’m just speculating. We won’t know the specifics until the verdict.”

Hai Xiaotang clutched at her chest in distress, “Even if it’s not that long, even if it’s only three or five years, my grandfather won’t be able to endure. He is so old. If something were to happen to him in there…”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t dare to think any further.

Without her grandfather, she would have no family left.

The thought of her grandfather leaving her made Hai Xiaotang extremely scared.

But facing the mighty law, she, who had nothing, was completely powerless.

Not to mention her, even Tao Yi was powerless…

Should she really go and beg Dongfang Yu?

Would they help her grandfather?

No matter whether they would or not, Hai Xiaotang decided to swallow her pride and make the attempt, she was willing to atone for her grandfather using other methods!

“Elder brother Tao, I’ll get off here, I have something to do,” Hai Xiaotang suddenly told him.

Tao Yi was slightly taken aback, “What do you need to do? I can accompany you.”

“No need, I can do it alone. Elder brother Tao, could you please stop the car?” Hai Xiaotang insisted.

Tao Yi had no choice but to pull over.

Hai Xiaotang unbuckled her seatbelt, and with gratitude, she said, “Elder brother Tao, thank you for today. You can head back now, I’ll take my leave.”

“Xiaotang!” Tao Yi grabbed her arm, concern in his voice, “What are you planning to do?”

Hai Xiaotang smiled lightly, “Nothing. What else could I do?”

“If there’s anything you need, remember to contact me. I’ll continue to think about solutions for your grandfather’s situation. Don’t worry too much.”

“Okay. Thank you. I’ll be going now.” Hai Xiaotang nodded, then opened the car door, got out, and hailed another taxi to leave.

Yes, she was going to see Dongfang Yu.

She decided to swallow her pride, to beg him for help. Above all, she couldn’t let her grandfather really go to prison for that many years.

Hai Xiaotang had arrived at the Dongfang. She got out, looked up at the largest, most dazzling building in C City, and dialed Dongfang Yu’s number on her phone.
