The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4702

Ma Lan went to the hospital with James White while Charlie Wade was on his way to New York.

James quickly informed Fei Jianzhong about the situation, who then updated Charlie. According to James, Ma Lan could stay in the hospital for one or two days at most. After that, she would need to attend her preliminary hearing.

Before the trial, the judge would decide if Ma Lan could be released on bail based on the details of her case. If bail was granted, the judge would set an amount. If the bail was paid, Ma Lan could temporarily regain her freedom. However, James mentioned that the amount of contraband involved in Ma Lan’s case was too high, making bail unlikely.

This meant that after the court session, Ma Lan would be held in a detention center. In the United States, there are two types of facilities: jail and prison. Jail is similar to a detention center in China; it holds individuals accused of lesser crimes or those awaiting trial. Prison, on the other hand, is for convicted criminals. Ma Lan would be placed in jail.

To ease Charlie’s worries, Fei Jianzhong assured him he could help Ma Lan through special channels. He even offered to send her back to China if Charlie wanted to settle everything there. However, Charlie declined the offer. He didn’t want Ma Lan to think he was overly powerful, and he also hoped she would have a meaningful experience during her time in detention.

In the detention center, Ma Lan remembered that stealing was wrong, especially when it came to taking someone else’s bank card. However, his time there didn’t really change him; it only reinforced his understanding of how cruel the world could be. He still found it hard to let go of his greed.

Charlie Wade didn’t know exactly how Ma Lan had been tricked this time, but he understood his mother-in-law well enough to guess that someone must have promised him something tempting, which is why Ma Lan let his guard down.

Charlie believed it was important to teach Ma Lan a lesson. He also realized that Ma Lan’s current mistake was not as serious as the last one, when he had tried to steal all the money from Charlie’s bank card. So, while Ma Lan needed to learn from this experience, Charlie didn’t want him to suffer too much.

The law and order in the United States could be harsh, and the detention center was filled with dangerous individuals. Given Ma Lan’s arrogant attitude but weak physique, he could easily be taken advantage of in there.

To help Ma Lan, Charlie called Wan Pojun. “Pojun, something is happening with my mother-in-law. She might end up in the New York detention center soon. Can you arrange for a few female soldiers to go in and watch over her?”

Wan Pojun knew what kind of person Charlie’s mother-in-law was, so he asked, “Mr. Ye, do you want your team to help her in a good way or a bad way? If it’s me, I can be discreet…”

“Absolutely not!” Charlie interrupted quickly.

Wan Pojun interrupted him and said seriously, “Of course I’m handling this for the better. Where did you think you went?”

Wan Pojun quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Ye. It was my subordinate’s mistake. You can be assured that I will arrange for someone to enter first and make sure your mother-in-law won’t face any trouble when she arrives.”

Charlie Wade instructed, “If someone bothers her once she’s inside, don’t let your people step in too soon. If you intervene right away, it might seem fake. Let her settle in first. If she has a small issue, then step in as if you’re helping a fellow citizen.”

Wan Pojun replied confidently, “Mr. Ye, you don’t need to worry. I will make sure everything is arranged properly.”
