Shen Lao, being a clever person, immediately understood his meaning: "You want me to persuade Shen Shuci to falsify testimony and say she never saw you together? That's illegal."
"That woman was willing to have a relationship with me at the time, and now she's turning against me. Am I supposed to just sit here and wait for it?"
Shen Lao, helpless, at the end of the day, it's just dog eat dog, with none having a clean slate.
"Since it's slander, you should trust the law to clear your name. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving..." Shen Lao said, then lifted his foot to leave.
The meaning was clear: he wouldn't help plead for him and Shen Shuci.
The old man wasn't foolish.
Neither of them were good people. Actually, Shen Shuci was simply stating what she saw. As for whether it's slander or constitutes a crime, that's up to the police and judge.
But once she gives false testimony, temporarily changes her statement, provides false evidence, she would face consequences.
