The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4699

This is what Charlie Wade meant.

Ma Lan is not just anyone; she is Charlie Wade’s mother-in-law. He doesn’t want people to find out that she was involved in such a silly scam.

On one hand, Charlie really values her and doesn’t want to lose her. On the other hand, if this situation blows up, Ma Lan is well-known internationally. As her son-in-law, he worries that people will dig into his life.

That’s why Charlie wants to handle this quietly without drawing too much attention.

James White, the lawyer, believes in taking an offensive approach instead of being defensive. He knows that if his opponent realizes how much Charlie wants to keep this quiet, they might use it against him.

So, instead of hiding, it’s better to be bold and suggest that the issue be made public.

James’s strategy worked. When the deputy director heard this, he quickly pleaded, “Mr. White, please don’t be upset. There must be a misunderstanding here. We will do everything we can to fix this. How about we first take your client to the hospital for treatment? We can postpone any questioning to ensure your client’s safety and well-being.”

James White smirked and replied, “That seems a bit off, doesn’t it? The media is waiting for news, and you want to keep my client hidden? I hope the news in the U.S. shows that my client was hurt by you, and it looks like a broken rib!”

The deputy director looked worried and said, “Mr. White, you can’t—”

James White said, “Our people have never harmed your client…”

He then asked, “How did my client’s rib break? If you want to keep this out of the media, I have a few conditions!”

The branch chief replied sincerely, “Mr. White, please go ahead!”

James White continued, “First, I need the bodyguard video from multiple angles. I want to see the footage from every police officer who was there!”

“Sure, no problem!” the sub-director agreed quickly.

He knew that if he didn’t cooperate, the details could end up in the media, making things much worse for him.

James White added, “Also, I want the data on similar cases you’ve handled in the last few years. My assistant needs it by ten o’clock tonight!”

“Okay…” The sub-director hesitated but reluctantly agreed.

He understood James White’s influence, as he dealt with powerful people and media executives every day. If James decided to highlight racial discrimination, it would be impossible to contain the story, and it wouldn’t matter whether the data was shared or not.

For now, he just needed to calm James White down. If he could get him to hold off on going public, there might still be a way to resolve the situation.

At that moment, James White turned to Ma Lan and said respectfully in Chinese, “Ms. Ma Lan, I’m sorry for being late, and I’m sorry for what you’ve been through!”
