Chapter 789: Take Care of Yourself_1
At eight o’clock in the evening, Luo Ning and her father, husband, and child rushed to the police center after receiving notification from the police.
According to the police officers, her mother, Yang Meifeng, was the one who organized the gambling. She had convened three accomplices and chosen Manager Wang’s residence to hold the group gambling, with substantial amounts at stake, to the tune of over one hundred twenty thousand yuan seized on the spot.
Initially, Yang Meifeng refused to admit it, claiming that it was Manager Wang who had organized the gambling. She insisted that Manager Wang had set her up and that she was the victim.
However, the wechat chat records on Yang Meifeng’s phone, as well as the testimonies of those present, indicated that she was indeed the one who had organized the gambling.
According to Jiuzhou’s laws, those who host and lead group gambling activities, especially those with serious involvement and refusal to cooperate with the investigation, could face fixed-term imprisonment of six months to three years.
Clearly, Yang Meifeng fell into this category.
In the detention room, Yang Meifeng, holding the phone and separated by glass, cried and screamed at her daughter.
She had never imagined that merely playing a game of mahjong and losing a few tens of thousands, not only would she be detained, but she also got the impression from the prison guards that she might be locked up for over a year.
Hearing that her mother might be detained for such a long time, Luo Ning was somewhat stunned. After comforting her mother briefly, she quickly found the person in charge here, Wang Se.
"Wang Se, could you please consider the fact that my mother is a first-time offender and spare her?"
In the reception room, Luo Ning looked at Wang Se with a pleading face, her tone filled with helplessness.
