Jiang Sheng, who had aged considerably due to the torment of his eldest daughter's imprisonment, appeared invigorated and wore a smile.
At the banquet, Liu Shuping spotted a law school graduate who had recently finished university. Eagerly, she approached him with a question.
"I have a relative who got in trouble and was imprisoned. Is there any way to get her out early?"
The college graduate found it amusing but answered her seriously.
"The only way to get released early is to demonstrate good behavior and persist in self-improvement. Generally, sincere remorse and good behavior can lead to a reduction in sentence."
"Sentence reduction? How many years can be reduced?"
"That's uncertain. Some who achieve significant contributions might be released immediately."
"What does achieving significant contributions mean?"
The graduate found Liu Shuping's serious demeanor somewhat amusing.
