Breaking and entering was a rather serious offense here. One would be sentenced two years in jail. Besides, since the man was caught red-handed, he would not even have the opportunity for appeal.
In his statement, the man insisted that he had just chosen a nice-looking house in the hopes of getting quick cash. He claimed that he was a homeless man after money, but this house was not as well-off as he had hoped, leaving him with nothing.
Since he did not take anything, it did not count as burglary.
Despite that, he did break and enter someone else's home. So he was destined to get some jail time.
However, Xia Ruoxin did not buy the man's words. She was sure that he was lying. Even though she could not see everything that the man had done since he entered the building, she felt that he was looking for someone, not something.
