The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4721

The snakehead was not worried about anyone running away. Instead of taking them directly to the United States, he first brought them to Mexico.

Once on the smuggler’s boat, life and death were out of their hands, much like the slaves sold by Europeans in the past. Those who obeyed would survive until they reached the shore, but those who didn’t would have stones tied to their feet and be thrown into the sea.

The two managed to escape but chose not to obey the snakehead. They followed the boat to Mexico, where they faced more difficulties. After landing, they were forced to hide several packets of contraband in their bodies and then travel to the United States using fake identities given to them by the smugglers.

The snakehead charged $3,000 for each trip. If they followed the rules and worked to pay off their debts, they could earn their freedom. If they didn’t, the Mexican and American gangs working with the smugglers could abandon them in the wilderness at any time. Feeling trapped, the two had no choice but to comply.

Over the next two months, they made ten trips back and forth before finally gaining their freedom. At that time, Mei Yuzhen was the one responsible for arranging their movements across the border and handling the goods on the U.S. side.

By then, Mei Yuzhen had already made a name for herself. She met an older Asian man who specialized in smuggling goods from Mexico to the United States and beyond. This connection led her to become a “carrier,” helping him transport items. After the two managed to pay off their debts to the snakehead, Mei Yuzhen decided to bring them into her operations.

Although she appeared evil to the outside world, she understood the importance of keeping her team stable. So when the three followed her, she treated them well.

Xu Jianxi worked hard and managed to earn two to three million dollars over the years, which is about ten to twenty million yuan.

Man Yingjie was younger and knew how to navigate conversations with older people, but his earnings were lower. Still, he had made millions over the years.

Sun Huina, who played Xu Jianxi’s wife, joined the team just a few years ago and was on the fringes of the group, so her earnings were modest.

At this moment, Xu Jianxi felt more anxious than ever. He feared not only losing his assets but also that the domestic police might have evidence against him. If that happened, he thought he could never return home again.

In his panic, he asked Mei Yuzhen, “Sister Mei, you said we haven’t done anything illegal in China. Why can’t we go back, and how could the police find us?”

Mei Yuzhen replied calmly, “It’s not necessarily the domestic police who found us. As you said, we haven’t broken any laws in China. Those who were deceived into bringing goods back to China don’t know our real identities. To the domestic police, we are invisible.”

Xu Jianxi pressed further, “Sister Mei, what do you think is happening? How did the police track us down so accurately?”

With a serious look, Mei Yuzhen said, “I believe someone from the United States reported us.”

“Reported from the United States?!” Xu Jianxi exclaimed. “But we haven’t wronged anyone there!”

“United States! Sister Mei, I’ve known you for so long, yet I don’t know anything about your family. And my own situation must be unclear to you too. How could someone provide our information to the police back home so accurately?”

Mei Yuzhen shook her head, looking very serious. “I don’t know either, but I have a feeling…”

Xu Jianxi quickly asked, “What feeling?”

Mei Yuzhen replied, “I think this is connected to that Ma Lan!”
