The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4749

Wan Pojun said, “They are quite similar to your mother-in-law. They all came to the United States to visit family. Four of them have already booked their tickets to return to China in the coming months. However, there is one old lady who immigrated here earlier, and among these six people, Mei Yuzhen has the most phone calls with her.”

“Old lady?” Charlie Wade asked, curious. “Is she also involved in the contraband transport?”

“We’re not sure yet,” Wan Pojun replied.

Charlie Wade suggested, “It’s easy to figure this out. Just check the old lady’s flight records to see if she often returns to China and when she last went back.”

“Okay!” Wan Pojun said quickly. “Give me a moment; I’ll have our hackers check the civil aviation system for any information.”

After a brief conversation with his team, Wan Pojun returned to Charlie Wade and said, “Mr. Ye, I found something strange. This old lady hasn’t returned to China in at least 20 years and hasn’t been on a plane at all during that time.”

“That’s odd…” Charlie Wade frowned. “A person who hasn’t flown in 20 years and is still an old lady—what could she possibly offer Mei Yuzhen?”

“I’m not sure…” Wan Pojun admitted. “I will send someone to get close to her and investigate her situation.”

Charlie Wade interrupted, “Don’t bother with that. Just help me look into the old lady’s family background.”

Wan Pojun replied, “Mr. Ye, I have some information. The old lady’s name is Zhou Bihua, and she…”

The old lady is seventy-three years old and has only one son. This year, she is forty. I brought her over from China twenty years ago, but she came on her own, so my wife must have passed away.

Marven Ye asked, “Have you found out where they live? I want to see what kind of neighborhood they are in Providence.”

Wan Pojun replied, “Mr. Ye, the old lady lives in a rather run-down part of Providence. Most of the local Chinese don’t live there; it’s mostly Latinos and Africans.”

Charlie Wade was a bit surprised. He thought, “This is strange. The old lady’s family should be quite ordinary, and it seems she has no close family in the country or a way to return to China. What could Mei Yuzhen want from her?”

“I can’t figure it out either…” Wan Pojun said. “I checked the surveillance footage of the old lady. She is still working at a Chinese restaurant, even at her age. It looks like her situation at home is tough.”

Charlie Wade frowned and asked, “What about her son? He was a public student and must have graduated from a good university. His job should pay well, right?”

Wan Pojun explained, “Her son’s situation is pretty sad. He used to earn a decent income as a technical director in a multinational company. However, since he turned thirty-five, he has struggled to find work. He lost his job and has been looking for a new one for over a year. His income has dropped significantly, and they haven’t paid their mortgage in a few months. Now, the bank is about to take their house.”

Charlie Wade noticed that even top graduates from prestigious universities often struggle to get along in the workplace. He said, “This happens a lot in big companies. Older workers earn high salaries because they’ve been there for a long time. But now, with younger employees eager to learn and work hard, companies often think about replacing older staff with these young, motivated workers. It saves money and they can work for many years.”

He continued, “However, when older employees lose their jobs, they find it hard to get back in the game. Young workers often switch jobs for better pay, while middle-aged workers usually end up earning less when they change jobs.”

Wan Pojun listened carefully and sighed, “Capitalists can be really ruthless.”

Then he remembered something and quickly added, “Oh, I just checked the civil aviation system. Zhou Bihua’s son has booked a flight to Mexico for the day after tomorrow. He might be going to work there.”

Charlie was surprised. “Working in Mexico? That place is much poorer than the United States and has its challenges. Why would anyone want to go there for a job?”

Wan Pojun shrugged, “I’m not sure. I also found his son’s medical examination records from last week, done at a hospital in Providence. It looks like it was for a work-related check-up.”

Charlie Wade was humming to himself and didn’t think much about the conversation at first. But then he remembered something important. He turned to Po Jun and said, “The information you just shared shows that many people who were in contact with Mei Yuzhen have disappeared, right?”

“Yes,” Wan Pojun replied. “These individuals are listed in the police system as missing, and none have been found.”

Charlie frowned, deep in thought. Then he said, “Quickly check the files of these missing people. Look into where they disappeared from, and focus on whether any of them traveled to Mexico before they went missing!”
