Chapter 1434: Promissory Note

Jian Yiling explained helpfully: "Theft of private possessions worth three hundred to five hundred thousand dollars will sentence the individual to 10 years of imprisonment or life imprisonment with a confiscation of property."

And the valuables and antiques in front of them were clearly worth more than five hundred thousand dollars. 

Furthermore, as their actions could be considered malicious, the sentence given would be more severe. 

As they were cornered by legal means and the big shots in Country M, Situ Zhong and Zhang Xin had no choice but to yield.

Situ Zhong attempted to reason with Jian Yiling one last time: "Dr. Jian, in the past, the Xie family has been inseparable from the Nine Dragons Association. We've already admitted our mistakes today and apologized for our actions. I believe there's no need to be so ruthless with your actions. After all, it won't do us any good."

"I think otherwise," Jian Yiling replied.
