The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4700

Since Ma Lan was arrested, no one has treated her kindly. The injuries and fear she experienced had taken a toll on her both physically and mentally. When she saw James White speaking to her with respect, she couldn’t help but cry from relief and joy.

Through her tears, she expressed her pain: “They not only beat me and yelled at me, but they also threatened me. I told them many times that I was tricked and didn’t know what was in that suitcase, but they still treated me like a criminal. It’s just too much…”

Hearing her, the sub-director nearby froze and immediately scolded the others, “You idiots! Why didn’t you take Ms. Ma to the hospital sooner? Why did you interrogate her when she was clearly injured? Who hurt her? Step up and explain!”

Everyone felt tense and looked at Jimmy Wayne for answers. Feeling the pressure, Jimmy stepped forward nervously. “Director… I accidentally broke Ms. Ma’s ribs,” he admitted. “She was fighting back, and I was just following orders…”

James White interrupted sharply, “You look strong, and my client is just an elderly woman. You’re at least twice her weight. If you wanted to subdue her, you could have done it without breaking her ribs!”

Jimmy Wayne started to sweat and struggled to defend himself against James White’s accusations. Not wanting to look at Jimmy any longer, James turned to the branch chief and said coldly, “Before you submit any evidence to my assistant, I need…”

“Please suspend my client for an investigation,” the lawyer said firmly. “He has suffered a lot, and faced unfair treatment, including racial discrimination. You need to take this seriously. If you don’t, I will have to bring this to the media, and that will put you in a worse position.”

Hearing this, the sub-director quickly understood the situation. If Jimmy Wayne was not removed from his post, James White would not let it go easily. Even if Jimmy was made a scapegoat, James’s usual methods meant that the issue would likely remain hidden, with only minor consequences. However, any delay in the matter could still be helpful.

The sub-director turned to Jimmy Wayne, who looked scared. “Wayne, give me your police ID and gun. You are suspended while we investigate. After the investigation, we will decide if you can return to your duties or if legal action is needed.”

Jimmy Wayne realized his fate was sealed. He nodded sadly, took off his ID and gun, and looked at Ma Lan. “Ms. Ma, I was just being impatient. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Please forgive me this time.”

Before Ma Lan could respond, James White spoke coldly, “If you don’t leave my sight in three seconds, I will call in other officers to press charges against you.”

Jimmy Wayne’s face turned pale with fear, and he hurried out of the police station.
