Chapter 638: Shen Mingcheng Weeps Behind Iron Bars!

During this period, Shen Mingcheng felt he had become a walking corpse.

He spent every day in a daze.

In just a few days, his weight dropped drastically.

He had never imagined that one day he would become a prisoner, locked up with a group of political prisoners.

His daily schedule was restricted; he was required to wake up and sleep at precise times.

His daily diet was restricted; he could not eat whenever he wanted, and if he didn't get enough at a meal, he had to go hungry.

He had to wear a uniform outfit every day; in everyone's eyes, he was nothing special, and he no longer had his former sense of superiority.

The large iron door of the cell and the iron-barred window tightly restricted his person to this twenty-square-meter area; just catching a glimpse of the blue sky outside was a luxury.

He had never imagined that one day, even catching a glimpse of the full view of a tree outside would be a luxury!

He feared the verdict coming down, because he knew it would shatter his psychological defenses.

However, he also wanted the result to come down as soon as possible, so that he would no longer have any expectations.

The moment he saw Shen Minghan, his tears could no longer be controlled and flowed out.

Shen Minghan held Shen Mingcheng's hand tightly; before coming, she had prepared a speech to scold her younger brother severely, but after seeing Shen Mingcheng, she could not bear to do so.

Their mother passed away several years ago, and their father had not been buried long; Shen Mingcheng was the only relative she had left.

"Why are you injured? Is someone bullying you?" Shen Minghan looked at Shen Mingcheng's swollen cheek, her eyes showing anger, "Did someone use corporal punishment on you? Tell me, I want to file a complaint!"

Shen Mingcheng hurriedly shook his head, "No one used corporal punishment on me, I fell by accident."

Seeing the timid look in Shen Mingcheng's eyes, Shen Minghan felt a pang of sorrow, "Mingcheng, don't lose hope for the future. I have asked the Lawyer. Your brother-in-law and I will help you pay the fine, and the sentence will be lightened. As long as you behave well in prison, you can also strive for a sentence reduction, so it won't take many years before you can come out."

Hearing his sister's consolation, Shen Mingcheng showed a look of unwillingness on his face, "Sister, I really don't want to go to jail, is there any way?"

Shen Minghan interrupted Shen Mingcheng and shook her head helplessly, "I have already thought of ways for you."

Like a drowning person, Shen Mingcheng grabbed Shen Minghan's wrist tightly, "Sister, you have to help me clear my name; I don't want to have such a stain."

Shen Minghan gripped Shen Mingcheng's arm firmly, "Calm down! The matter has already happened; we can only strive toward better goals."

Shen Mingcheng said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law must have a way!"

Shen Minghan said with a sense of "iron not becoming steel," "If your brother-in-law could help you, he would never stand by and watch. Shen Mingcheng, you should grow up. Dad has already passed away because of you."

Shen Mingcheng opened his mouth wide; in an instant, his eyes turned blood-red, his hair stood on end in anger, and his body could not stop trembling.

"Dad, passed away? What does this mean? Where did he go?"

At this moment, tears could not stop overflowing from the corners of Shen Minghan's eyes.

"Dad passed away. After your incident happened, he couldn't handle the shock, and his heart disease recurred!"

"Why did you have to tell him? You should have kept it from him."

"Your matter became known to everyone and was the talk of the town; even if I didn't say anything, he would have known sooner or later!"

"Is it me who killed Dad?"

Shen Mingcheng sat blankly in his seat, looking up at the ceiling, feeling as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.

In his mind, he saw himself in junior high school not liking to study and being severely criticized by his father;

He saw his father being invited to school by a teacher because of his puppy love, and his proud father apologizing to the teacher for him;

He remembered after he started working, because he made a mistake, his father lectured him for two hours.

His father had fulfilled his duty, yet he had disappointed him again and again.

He fell to his knees with a thud, facing the window, and kowtowed heavily three times, his head pressed against the ground, weeping silently.

His heart was filled with remorse and heartache!

How he wished time could turn back and life could start over.

Returning to that afternoon, he had been drinking and was resting on the hotel bed when Gu Lanping walked in carrying fruit.

Seeing that he had drunk too much, she attended to him diligently; smelling the scent of a mature woman radiating from Gu Lanping, he grabbed her wrist on an impulse.

Gu Lanping struggled slightly before falling into his arms.

After it was finished, Gu Lanping cried hypocritically for a while, then acted like a spoiled child and declared that from then on, her body and heart belonged to him.

Perhaps because he had tasted the sweetness, Shen Mingcheng opened up a whole new world.

Within a year, any woman he took a fancy to, he would find ways to get his hands on.

He enjoyed being pursued and flattered, enjoyed being surrounded by wealth, and liked the control of having people obey his every word.

All of this made him walk further and further down this path of corruption, and also made his path narrower and narrower.

Narrowed down to this tiny cell six meters long and three meters wide, which locked him up tightly.

He had originally thought that with his dealings with Chen Xuening and Master Wang, they would protect him.

Unexpectedly, after the incident happened, Chen Xuening vanished into thin air, and Master Wang had no reaction at all!

He had just been abandoned like that!

He slapped his own cheeks hard with both hands, repeating it over and over!

"Dad, your son is unfilial, may you have a safe journey!"

"Son is sorry for you, Dad, may you have a safe journey!"

Shen Minghan watched her brother vent his emotions, biting her lip hard.

Finally, Shen Mingcheng calmed down and sat back down opposite Shen Minghan.

"Sister, I have thought it through. I will reform well. I won't waste the few years in prison. I did too many wrong things before and caused you all so much worry. I will turn over a new leaf and won't be defeated by what is before me."

Shen Minghan gently patted the back of Shen Mingcheng's hand, "I am relieved that you can think this way. Additionally, I have to tell you one more thing. It's about the child in Gao Xiaoqing's womb."

A look of surprise appeared in Shen Mingcheng's eyes, and he smiled bitterly, "Gao Xiaoqing is a very realistic woman; she won't want that child."

Shen Minghan said, "Although she broke the law, she has a chance to strive for a suspended sentence because she is pregnant. So the child has now become her Amulet; she won't be so stupid as to throw this Amulet away. I have already communicated with her. She will give birth to this child, and then I will raise her well."

Shen Mingcheng nodded gently, "Sister, you have considered everything very thoroughly. I must apologize to you; I didn't control my emotions well earlier."

Shen Minghan clearly sensed the change in Shen Mingcheng and gripped his arm tightly, "You are my own younger brother; I will not give up on you, and I will take good care of you. This was also Dad's dying wish!"
