The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4690

Seeing that Ma Lan wanted to reach out to her family, the policewoman nodded and said, “Okay, you have the right to contact your family and ask them to arrange a criminal lawyer for you.”

Then, she handed Ma Lan her mobile phone and added, “Just remember, you can only call your family or your lawyer. If you call someone involved in this case to warn them, it will only make things worse for you.”

Ma Lan, feeling upset, replied, “Don’t you understand?! I’m innocent! I was set up by someone else. I don’t have any accomplices!”

The policewoman responded calmly, “Whether you are innocent or not will be decided by the judge during the trial. It’s not up to you or me.”

Angrily, Ma Lan glared at the policewoman before picking up the phone to call her daughter, Xiao Churan.

When Xiao Churan answered, she immediately asked, “Mom, have you boarded the plane?”

Hearing her daughter’s voice made Ma Lan’s emotions overflow. She cried out, “Churan… my sweet daughter… you have to help me! I might die in America if you don’t save me…”

Xiao Churan became worried and asked quickly, “Mom, what’s wrong?!”

Through tears, Ma Lan explained, “I was supposed to bring a piece of luggage for a friend that Sister Chen introduced to me. I didn’t make it onto the plane, and now the police have arrested me. They found a large amount of contraband in my luggage, over 5,000 grams… They’ve even broken one of my ribs… I need to call a lawyer quickly… What can I do?”

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. “Chu Ran, you need to tell Charlie Wade right away! He must find a good lawyer for my mom. We can’t let her go to jail in the United States!”

“What?!” Xiao Churan felt shocked and helpless. She looked at Charlie Wade with fear in her eyes. “Husband… my mom… she was arrested by the police. They said they found a lot of illegal things in her luggage, and she even has a broken rib… what should I do?”

Charlie Wade had already heard about the situation from Ma Lan’s phone call. He remembered that something had seemed off with Sister Chen’s family. Now, it looked like they were just acting, playing a part in a scheme.

Sister Chen’s kindness towards Ma Lan was just a way to get her to smuggle contraband to Hong Kong Island.

Xiao Churan was panicking and crying. She turned to Charlie Wade, “Husband… what should I do now? The police said we need to hire a lawyer for Mom, or they’ll assign one…”

Charlie Wade nodded. “Tell your mom to stay quiet. I’ll contact my client in the United States and arrange for an experienced lawyer to help her.”

Xiao Churan quickly asked, “Husband, is your client in New York experienced in this type of case? Does he have the right connections?”

Charlie Wade replied confidently, “Don’t worry, he has a good reputation in New York. He should be able to find a strong lawyer, much better than a public defender.”

The police arranged for a lawyer.

Xiao Churan quickly said, “Please call your client and ask for her help. Mom told me the police said that if we can’t clear this up, she might face life in prison.”

Charlie Wade replied calmly, “Don’t rush things. Just remember, it’s impossible for Mom to have known that she was carrying something illegal. If we can prove she didn’t know, we can show she’s innocent, and there won’t be any criminal charges against her.”

On the other end of the phone, Ma Lan, crying, said, “Good son-in-law, you are right about Li’er. But the problem is, if we can’t find anyone to help us, we won’t have proof.”
