That's right. After the meeting ended, he sought out Chen Ming to confirm the details once more. Chen Ming's gaze during the meeting had been incredibly strange. Ultimately, from Chen Ming himself, he learned of a terrifying sentence!
More than twenty years, but less than twenty-five! Under the principle of concurrent sentencing for multiple offenses, if the total theoretical sentence doesn't exceed thirty-five years, the maximum penalty imposed is typically twenty years. This meant that the cumulative theoretical sentence for all his crimes had already surpassed thirty-five years!
Consider this: a life sentence effectively meant twenty-five years! His potential sentence was essentially the most severe one possible short of actual life imprisonment! Recalling Qin Mu's "illustrious track record," which he had looked up on Baidu, Geng Jinglu had been scared senseless. He was adamant: he would not help Qin Mu set a new record.
