Chapter 443: No chance of commutation of sentence
"Can I...can I have a cigarette?" Chen Mo's voice was full of fatigue and vicissitudes, his hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were empty and confused.
Shen Sangning nodded gently. Chen Mo took out a cigarette from his pocket, but his hand couldn't keep steady when lighting the cigarette, and it took him several tries to light it.
He took a deep breath, and in the smoke, his brows were furrowed and the muscles on his face were tense.
His eyes were full of pain and regret, and his thoughts seemed to go back to that terrible night.
"I should have stopped her more resolutely at that time. It's all my fault." He muttered to himself, his lips trembling, "The five thousand dollars hurt her and me."
Chen Mo's shoulders slumped, and his soul seemed to have been sucked out of him. Only an empty shell remained, struggling helplessly under the trick of fate.
Yueyue finally went to the private room.
As long as Chen Mo is not busy, he will wait outside the private room, feeling as nervous as if there is a little rabbit in his heart.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, Yueyue's terrified scream was heard from the private room.
Chen Mo rushed in regardless of everything, only to see the boss pulling Yueyue into his arms with a lewd smile on his face. Yueyue struggled desperately and her clothes were torn.
Chen Mo's anger was instantly ignited, and he rushed up and punched the boss. The boss was so angry that he called on several of his men to beat him up.
In the chaos, someone picked up a wine bottle and smashed it at Chen Mo. Chen Mo suddenly felt a sharp pain and blood flowed from his head.
Yueyue cried and stood in front of Chen Mo, "Please, stop hitting him!"
But the boss ignored her and even went further to touch Yueyue, even pulling her hair, throwing her on the sofa and untying her belt.
In an instant, Chen Mo felt his head buzzing, the scene in front of him became chaotic and blurry, and his ears were filled with Yueyue's crying and the boss's scolding.
Seeing his girlfriend being bullied like this, Chen Mo felt like his chest was about to explode, and he couldn't care about anything else.
Chen Mo's eyes turned red and he touched a broken wine bottle.
In addition, the lights in the private room were dim, so he didn't notice where he stabbed the other person. He only knew that a crazy force drove him to make this bastard stop invading!
When he stopped moving, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence. The boss's men also stopped moving in fear, and Chen Mo gradually regained some clarity.
He saw the boss' eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and then he slowly fell down.
Chen Mo's hand loosened the bottle, and he froze in place, his mind blank. "I... I killed someone?" This thought flashed through his mind, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Yueyue stopped crying at this time and stared blankly at the scene in front of her, her eyes full of fear and despair.
Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Yueyue, his eyes full of pain and helplessness. "I... I didn't mean it..." Chen Mo's legs softened and he almost collapsed to the ground.
His eyes moved back and forth between Yueyue and the fallen boss. He still didn't dare and didn't want to believe this scene.
At this moment, the people outside the private room heard the noise and rushed in. When they saw the bloody scene, they exclaimed in surprise.
Retracting his thoughts, Chen Mo crushed the cigarette butt with his fingers.
After a long pause, he continued, "Later... the manager called the police and also dialed 120."
"That boss...died before he even got to the hospital."
"I...I became a murderer."
"The manager doesn't care about me, and neither does the store owner."
"In the end, Yueyue spent all our savings and hired a lawyer to help me with the lawsuit."
"The lawyer assured me that I had no intention to kill anyone, and said that the emergency was reasonable and necessary. He said a lot..."
"In the end, they said I was stopping an illegal infringement, which was legitimate defense, and I would not bear criminal responsibility."
"But in the end...I was still sentenced to fifteen years."
"Saying that the other party's violation is not serious!"
"I'll fuck him!!!"
“I still don’t know what is serious!”
"Fifteen years! A full fifteen years!!!"
"I kept appealing and writing letters! But they were all rejected..."
"When I went to prison, I was 20 years old...I was 35 when I got out!"
"At that time, a TV station interviewed me and asked me if I regretted it."
"I have thought about this problem seriously. Even if I were to start over again, I would still do it this way!"
"Yueyue is my girlfriend. If I don't care about it, am I still a man?!"
"It was because of this sentence that I didn't get a single commutation of sentence. I spent the full fifteen years in prison..."
Chen Mo clenched his hands into fists, his body trembling slightly, anger and unwillingness burning in his eyes.
"During the past fifteen years, I have been thinking about the injustice of the world every day in prison, and thinking about how Yueyue and I's future has been ruined."
"Do I regret it? I don't regret it, but how can I not hate it! I hate the shamelessness of that bastard boss, the indifference of the manager, and this so-called verdict."
"In prison, I dreamed of Yueyue countless times, and the beautiful life we had planned. The little house that was supposed to belong to us, our children, all became a bubble. I often woke up in the middle of the night, with a heart full of pain but nowhere to vent."
"In the first few years after I was in prison, I was fully expecting a good result from my appeal and that I would get justice. But the repeated rejections were like knives stabbing my heart again and again. In the end, I gradually lost hope and no longer had any hope for the outside world."
"I tried hard to survive in there, telling myself that I couldn't collapse like this. I worked and studied very hard, just to avoid becoming a useless person."
"Because I still have a little hope in my heart. I think I can find Yueyue after I get out and start over."
"The reason I had this idea was because Yueyue would visit me every month during those years. She encouraged me and said she would wait for me..."
"But I haven't seen her since ten years ago."
"I don't know what happened to her. Did she get married? Or something happened."
"She's just like that. There's no news at all."
"I don't know how I managed to get through these ten years. Maybe it was just for the sake of my pride..."
"After I got out, I found that the world had changed so much in the past fifteen years. I felt like a monster who was out of touch with the world."
"I looked everywhere for news about Yueyue, but found nothing."
Shen Sangning pursed her lips: "So what do you think of Yueyue now?"
