"That means, according to the charges brought by the prosecution, your son... might be sentenced to up to seven years in prison."
Zhang Wei patiently explained once again.
"What?"
"Seven years?"
Xu Ping and his wife exclaimed in shock. Both were taken aback.
They had thought this was just petty theft. They hadn't expected the penalty to be so outrageously high!
"Zhang... Lawyer Zhang, you aren't trying to scare us, are you?" Keeping his wits about him, Xu Ping eyed Zhang Wei with a hint of suspicion.
Zhang Wei's mouth twitched. But he still spoke earnestly, "I am a lawyer, and I take responsibility for what I say. Besides, this is just an initial inference. If the theft of these deliveries leads to a series of serious problems, the penalty will only be heavier."
Upon hearing this, the color drained from Xu Ping's face, suddenly turning somber.
