Too Bad I Take Things Seriously Chapter 471 - 200: Turns out Meng Lei Resigned to Go to Jail

Li Weiguo shrugged but said, "Ever since I started playing against Xiao Qin, I’ve never lost. What about you?"

"You!!"

Zhang Qingyuan’s face turned bright red, yet he didn’t know how to retort.

Indeed. Li Weiguo had never played chess with Qin Mu. To say he had never been defeated was not an exaggeration.

Qin Mu, who was standing to the side watching the two old n quarrel, silently picked up his phone. Pretending not to see. If he got involved in this "dispute," he wouldn’t have peace today either.

Just as he turned on his phone, he saw the ssage Ma Ming had sent him. It announced good news.

"Up, the public security bureau has inford us of the case progress. ng Lei borrowed money not only from our classmates but also from his colleagues, relatives, and friends."

Ma Ming sounded very excited in the ssage. He continued to ask, "Up, how many years do you think ng Lei could be sentenced? It’s said that he has ratted out his wife as well, and they are investigating her for refusal to enforce judgnt..."

Reading Ma Ming’s ssage, Qin Mu thought for a mont and replied, "If he’s convicted of fraud, the sentence will be based on that. For amounts over thirty thousand yuan, the sentence will be no less than three years and no more than ten years in prison. For amounts over five hundred thousand yuan, the sentence will be ten years or more in prison."

As for fraud involving large amounts... The criteria vary by province.

In so provinces, amounts over one hundred thousand yuan are considered large, and the sentence will be no less than three years and no more than ten years in prison. In others, particularly economically underdeveloped ones, amounts over thirty thousand yuan are classified as large, carrying a sentence of three to ten years.

The standard in Yangcheng is over thirty thousand yuan.

Regarding ’extraordinarily large amounts,’ the standard is uniform across all provinces: over five hundred thousand yuan.

So, the length of the sentence will depend on the total amount ultimately calculated by the public security bureau. In short, the more he borrowed, the heavier the sentence.

As for Tian Shulan’s situation... Even if ng Lei implicated her, the sentence for refusal to enforce judgnt isn’t severe—only up to three years. Tian Shulan’s sentence would likely be around one to two years.

Moreover, if she hired a reasonably competent lawyer, she’d have a good chance of getting a suspended sentence, aning no jail ti. The amount the judgnt requires her to return isn’t large. Such an offense is clearly minor and doesn’t pose a significant threat to society, thus eting the criteria for a suspended sentence.

"What? She doesn’t have to go to jail?"

Ma Ming was quite surprised by this result. Although he despised ng Lei, he despised Tian Shulan just as much. Birds of a feather flock together, as the saying goes; there was so truth to it. As his wife, she didn’t even hire a lawyer for him when he was facing legal issues... She didn’t even attend the trial. Now that all of ng Lei’s assets are in Tian Shulan’s hands, she will definitely try her best to hire a good lawyer for herself.

"Right, can ng Lei request a division of assets again?" Ma Ming thought for a mont, then continued to gossip.

In the nursing ho, Qin Mu frowned and answered, "The law does not support such asset transfers made in an attempt to defy a judgnt. Moreover, the marriage law stipulates that if there is fraud involved in the division and transfer of assets during the marriage, the division agreent is invalid."

Thanks to his "Photographic mory" skill, he had an incredibly broad grasp of various laws and quickly found the relevant provisions. In fact, if ng Lei were to sue, he could get back at least half of his money, if not all of it! Of course, the premise is that he currently has the money and ti to go to court.

"He can still sue after being sentenced?" Ma Ming sent another query, full of curiosity.

Qin Mu smiled and continued to reply, "As long as he has not been stripped of his political rights, he can still sue even while in jail."

According to litigation law, a criminal suspect also has the right to initiate civil litigation. However... he would need to wait for this case to be adjudicated before starting a new lawsuit.
