The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4716

“What?!” Mei Yuzhen felt like she had been struck by lightning.

She quickly asked, “Why did the police arrest them? Did they say why?”

In her heart, Mei Yuzhen prayed to God, hoping that her husband and two sons were taken away by the police for something like gambling or visiting prostitutes. She wouldn’t even mind if it was for murder, as long as it wasn’t for money laundering.

Killing was bad, but at least it was straightforward. If one of them got a death sentence, or even all three received a reprieve, she believed they would eventually come back. But if it was money laundering, everything would change. That meant all her hard-earned assets could be taken away by the law.

The thought made her feel like her life’s work would vanish in an instant.

Just as she was praying for some miracle, her eldest daughter-in-law dropped a bombshell.

“The police said they might be involved in money laundering…and they will seize all property, including the house and car…Mom, what should we do?”

Mei Yuzhen felt as if her soul had been ripped away. She collapsed into her seat in shock. Terrified, she slapped her own face repeatedly, muttering, “Wake up… It’s a nightmare…it must be a nightmare…”

But the sting of her slap was real, and it didn’t feel like a dream at all.

Despair filled her heart, and she felt like a walking corpse.

On the other end of the phone, her eldest daughter-in-law cried, “Mom…you…”

“Think of something, Mom! We have your hope now… you need to come back soon and help them!”

“Help them?!” Mei Yuzhen shouted. “I’ve been away for over 20 years. I’ve only come back less than ten times! What can I do to help?”

The eldest daughter-in-law on the other end of the phone started to cry. “What if they get sentenced to ten or eight years? What will happen to our mothers…?”

Suddenly, Mei Yuzhen had an idea. “Listen to me! Quickly move all the valuable things from the house and find a way to get to the bank to withdraw their money!”

“What?!” the eldest daughter-in-law exclaimed. “I can’t do that! The police warned me that if I take money out of the house now, it’s against the law, and I could end up in prison! I can’t go to jail—I have four kids!”

Mei Yuzhen was frustrated. “The police are just trying to scare you! What are you afraid of? Let me tell you, if they seize all the money, you won’t just lose the villa you live in or the nice car you drive. You won’t even have money for milk or school for your kids! Are you really willing to let your children end up on the streets?”

“I… I…” the eldest daughter-in-law stammered, “But they have to leave us at least a house, right? They can’t just throw us out!”

Mei Yuzhen clenched her teeth. “If this turns into a money laundering case, we’ll lose everything! If you don’t want to live in poverty from now on, you have to do what I say!”

The daughter-in-law hesitated, “I can’t… even if you threaten me…”

“I can’t do it…”

As she spoke, she quickly added, “The second son and his wife are right here. Why don’t you talk to her and see if she has the courage?”
