Chapter 1138 Mu Zhengtang’s Sentencing, Xiaoleng’s Destiny
The End of Mu Zhengtang
Just as the little witch was holding a cake in her left hand and an apple in her right hand, the gaze of a young man kept moving back and forth on her body, revealing an indescribable expression on his face.
“Delicious.” The little witch took a bite and nodded in satisfaction, “Mm… It’s delicious.”
At this time, several actresses from the entertainment industry walked past the little witch. The little witch’s plain face easily crushed the exquisite makeup of these actresses, not to mention her perfect proportions. Her eyes were extremely wild and alluring, and the gaze of the young man staring at the little witch not far away became even more sparkling.
Naturally, a human woman could not compare to a witch in beauty. Whether it was face, figure, or skin.
“Hello.” The young man walked over to the little witch and raised his glass, “My surname is Li, it’s…”
“I don’t like you. Stop chatting up. If you chat up again, I’ll blow your nose.” The little witch did not give him a chance to continue speaking. Instead, she covered her mouth with delicious food and sniffed proudly at this rich young master who had always been invincible in front of women.
Young Master Li did not expect that he would be rejected so quickly, so quickly that he was rejected without even showing his goodwill.
Without needing him to say anything, the little witch had already read his mind: This girl is so beautiful…
“Uh.” Young Master Li was a little embarrassed, but more importantly, his desire to conquer was aroused. He laughed and stretched out his hand, “Beauty, you think too much. I just want to make a friend. Meet me. My name is Li…”
After saying that, Young Master Li didn’t say anything and awkwardly turned around to leave.
Because the little witch had already raised her fist, she did not follow the human routine at all. You should at least shake hands and greet her. No, she just raised her fist in response.
“Bring some to Xiaoleng. He is Gaoleng’s favorite person. You must share such delicious food with her.” The little witch picked up some things and walked to Gaoleng’s room. She was thinking about Mu Xiaoleng.
Gaoleng, who was in a good mood while holding his glass, received a phone call at the banquet. This phone call made Gaoleng feel pain in his bones and he wanted to see Mu Xiaoleng.
“President Gao, I heard something that should be considered accurate. Mu Zhengtang’s initial sentence has been determined.” A steady voice came from the phone. Gaoleng picked up the phone and hurriedly raised his glass to everyone. He walked to a corner where no one was present and said with a cold expression, “Speak.”
A few months had passed since Mu Zhengtang had embezzled this matter. The procedure had already reached the end. In the next few days, the sentencing for him would be announced to the public. Of course, he could not accept it and continue to appeal.
“The amount of money involved is particularly huge, the social impact is enormous, and there are suspicions of wanting to flee overseas. However, after Mu Zhengtang returned to the court, Nian’s attitude was good and he repaid the state’s losses. He also handed over all the corrupt property, so the sentence is not too serious.”
Gaoleng wiped away all the dirty water that others had poured on Mu Zhengtang’s body. He had also handed over the compensation for the losses he had caused to the country. In addition, he was angry with Mu Zhengtang and told him not to worry about Xiaoleng’s safety. With Eastern Gang as a guarantee, he did not need to be afraid of being released from prison or persecuted in prison. Officials who could shake could shake out, and reporting others could also reduce the punishment.
After Mu Zhengtang heard the news, he shook his accomplice’s head in relief, greatly lightening the sentence.
“It’s not too serious, but it’s quite heavy. The death penalty has escaped.”
Whoever commits embezzlement or accepts bribes in an extraordinarily large amount, whose criminal circumstances are particularly serious, whose social impact is particularly severe, and who causes extraordinarily heavy losses to the interests of the state and the people may be sentenced to death. However, if a person surrenders voluntarily, renders meritorious service, confesses his crime truthfully, sincerely repents of his crime, actively returns the spoils, or avoids or reduces the occurrence of damages, he or she may be sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
If Gaoleng did not take action, then Mu Zhengtang would have been properly executed.
A pile of blame was pushed onto him. Just’negligence ‘was enough for him to eat. Gaoleng pushed the pile of blame. Whoever carried the blame would be punished lightly. However, he secretly asked his wife to take over the government’s project. This matter could not escape.
Gaoleng lowered his voice, “How many years?”
“Twenty years ago, Mu Zhengtang expressed his obedience to the country’s ruling and did not appeal.”
Twenty years later, Gaoleng’s heart skipped a beat. He had already repaid the losses. Mu Zhengtang had several problematic projects in his hands, and the people who planted them had also cleaned them up. The sentence was actually still twenty years.
However, how many high-ranking officials have been sentenced to less than fifteen years of imprisonment after their dismissal? Nowadays, the country is beating up corruption very harshly. If there is a mistake, punish it. If there is a violation, punish it.
“Where’s her mother?” Gaoleng asked.
“Lighten up on her mother’s side. Mu Zhengtang has already taken over the stall. She is just a person who doesn’t report the truth and accepts bribes. The punishment for accepting bribes is not heavy. Her mother’s punishment is five years.”
After hanging up the phone, Gaoleng stood at a corner of the banquet. There was a pine and cypress growing there. It was said that pine and cypress symbolized fidelity, and pine and cypress also symbolized graves. Pine and cypress were usually planted in graves. Mu Zhengtang did not guard the fidelity of an official and stepped into the graves.
Twenty years ago, he was an old woman, but after twenty years, he would be old. The country had already concluded that there was no way to play tricks before the law, and Gaoleng had done its best.
If Mu Zhengtang could be punished in prison to clear himself of his sins, then the hardest part would be Mu Xiaoleng. In a few days, the news would be broadcast live, and the major state media would report on this matter. If some villains in the school might have said something about Mu Xiaoleng behind his back, then the people of the whole country would start to curse the corrupt officials.
And she was the daughter of a corrupt official.
This label will be with her for the rest of her life.
All her former strengths will become weaknesses, she dances ballet well, and the incomparably elegant swans on the stage will be laughed at. Look, ballet money is corrupt.
She cooked a good dish and posted her bread and dessert on Weibo and WeChat from time to time. You see, only the daughter of a corrupt official has the leisure to do this.
She could draw with one hand, play the piano with the other, and laugh purely like a fairy. All of this would be hooked up to the word’greed ‘. The better you are, the more you will be attacked: Wasn’t it because your dad took the taxpayer’s money that you were raised to be so good? The daughter of a corrupt official!
However, Mu Xiaoleng could not refute it, because it was true that the expensive education she received was corrupted by her father.
If she wasn’t corrupt, how could she receive one-on-one training from one of the country’s top ballet teachers? If it wasn’t for corruption, how could she have the money to study painting in Japan? Mu Zhengtang was a high-ranking official with a high salary. He could teach Mu Xiaoleng these courses, but it was definitely not enough for her to enjoy top-notch courses in everything.
The stain of Mu Zhengtang’s corruption had fallen on Mu Xiaoleng, who was still in elementary school and didn’t understand anything, ever since he took the first sum of money.
This was probably Mu Xiaoleng’s destiny. He had already labeled it the ‘Daughter of Corrupt Officials’ since primary school.
“Alright, I understand.” Gaoleng hung up.
“Boss, President Lu is calling you over. A few big shots over there praise you endlessly, saying that they must have a drink with you.” The fat man ran over happily, his eyes filled with admiration and confidence. He was proud to have such a boss.
One rose and the other fell.
