Jiang se recalled PEI Yi’s investigation into Jufeng entertainment and the ‘filming’ that Dai Jia had mentioned.
Dai Jia’s vivid image then was gradually replaced by her pale and lifeless face now. In just half a year, she had aged more than ten years.
Life in the prison was boring. There were rules that started at five o ‘clock every day, which included when to go to the toilet and how often to take a bath. Dai Jia had a lot of work to do every day. She started at about seven o’ clock and often worked until midnight, especially when she had just gone there. She had been beaten up several times by her roommates, so she had become gloomy now.
Jiang se recalled her meeting with Dai Jia at the film studio. It was the girl who had warned her to be careful of Yao Xiang and to not accept cigarettes from unknown people. She was like a bright moon that had bloomed beautifully, but had been destroyed by a storm.
She heaved a long sigh,”Dai Jia, ah Yingluo.”
“Sese, your friend has indeed killed someone.”
At PEI Yi’s house, after Jiang se turned around and mentioned Dai Jia, PEI Yi called nie dan over. He had already found out the whole story.
and the murder was done in the studio. Many people saw it, and it was even recorded by the camera. So, when she appeared in court that day, she didn’t have any help, so she was quickly found guilty.
It was not nie Dan’s first time at PEI Yi’s house. He went to get a cup of water and said,
in her condition, it’s not easy to figure it out without help. If we follow the normal procedure, it might take seventeen or eighteen years.
Dai Jia’s sentence was a delayed death sentence, and it was the judge’s intentional mercy. Otherwise, in her situation, it would have been possible to execute her immediately.
After the death, he would stay in prison for two years, depending on his performance, and accumulate points based on his work.
Every year, the prison had a large number of labor tasks, which were assigned to each prisoner. Each prison had to work hard to complete these tasks every year in order to get a good rating.
Among the prisoners, points were accumulated according to their work and daily performance. They were ranked according to the scores and were divided into a, B, C, D, and so on. Dai Jia’s sentence could only be changed from probationary to incarceration if her performance was above grade A in the two-year probation period. Then, in the future, her sentence would be changed from incarceration to incarceration, and her sentence would be reduced gradually based on her performance.
However, no matter how good Dai Jia’s performance was, she would still be in prison for more than ten years.
Just as nie dan had said, if no one helped her, it would be too late for her to be released even if she did.
She was 21 years old when she went in. When she came out, she might be close to 40 years old. It was too cruel for a young and beautiful girl.
“What’s her relationship with you?”
Nie dan took a sip of water and asked curiously.
PEI Yi took a piece of cut fish and shrimp meat and fed the two turtles in the water basin with their mouths open.
Jiang se poked the tortoise’s back from time to time. Nie dan was not used to such a harmonious scene.
PEI Yi had cut his hair short, and he had been playing less recently. His brothers knew about his situation and could not help but sigh.
“Brother Yi, are you going to Guangzhou after your birthday?”
As soon as he finished speaking, PEI Yi’s hand, which was cutting the fish with the knife, paused. He looked at nie dan coldly, as if he wanted to stab him with the knife. Nie Dan’s body trembled.
“Go to Guangzhou?”
Jiang se was stunned for a moment. She glanced at PEI Yi. Nie dan knew that he had gotten into trouble. He wished he could give himself two tight slaps. Why did he suddenly mention this? he might as well have mentioned Dai Jia to Jiang se!
Nie dan could not sit still. PEI Yi’s gaze was like a knife that pierced his entire body. He regretted his earlier comment. It seemed like Jiang se did not know that PEI Yi was going to Guangzhou.
“Yes.”
PEI Yi paused, nodded, and continued what he was doing.
“I’ll tell you later.”
His 20th birthday was in a few days. It was in October. Jiang se suddenly felt a suffocating feeling in her heart. Perhaps she was used to him obeying her every command, so she never thought that he would hide anything from her.
She didn’t know if she had been too busy with work and neglected him, or if PEI Yi really had something on his mind. If nie dan had not suddenly mentioned that he was going to Guangzhou, she might not have known about it even before he left.
Since nie dan asked this, it proved that he was not going there for a while. No wonder he had changed so much recently. He left the capital in July and shaved his dyed blond hair. The last time he went to Hong Kong to attend the contract signing conference of Hong Kong jewelry, he did not go with him and said that it was because of the PEI family.
He had changed so much that she should have noticed it long ago. There might be a reason.
Her heart sank, but she didn’t show it.
Nie dan felt that the atmosphere was a little off. PEI Yi held the knife, pursed his lips, and looked straight at Jiang se. Jiang se had her head lowered and her expression was calm. A storm was brewing between the two of them.
He had exposed what PEI Yi had been hiding from Jiang se. Right now, nie dan was filled with regret. If he had known that this would happen, he would have brought Cheng runing along with him when PEI Yi called him over today.
All of them knew that PEI Yi was going to Guangzhou. If Cheng runing had been here, he would have been the one to ask the question tonight. He wouldn’t have to take the blame.
“Hahaha.”
Nie dan laughed drily and thought of a way to escape.
“By the way, sister-in-law, what’s your relationship with this Dai guy? If we’re not that close, I’ll just give them a heads up and they’ll be locked up for eight to ten years, and they’ll be released early. If we’re on good terms, it’ll take some effort.”
She had offended Jufeng entertainment, and Jufeng entertainment had people in the top management. If she wanted to get Dai Jia out, she had to find a reason and pull some strings.
Jiang se suppressed her feelings and forced a smile.
she’s a friend of mine. It was all thanks to her that I got the role of ‘pretense to reality’.
With Jiang SE’s words, nie dan could guess what she was thinking. He perked up.
“There’s still a way, right, brother Yi?”
He smiled at PEI Yi, trying to please him. However, PEI Yi’s gaze was still cold. Clearly, he was still angry at him for his previous question.
“Although she killed someone in the studio, she had her reasons.”
Nie dan touched his nose and sat back in his seat awkwardly. He avoided PEI Yi’s gaze and hunched his shoulders.
“Sese, there are some things in the industry that can’t be explained clearly.”
He mumbled,
not every agency is open and aboveboard. There are also thousands of ways to control their artistes. Do you understand what I’m saying? ”
He did not need to remind her about this. When PEI Yi had found out about Jufeng entertainment, he had already told Jiang se about it.
Jiang se nodded and did not look at PEI Yi.
“I understand.”
