Chapter: 4806

James White sneered coldly and said calmly, "All medical expenses will be taken care of by my client. You don't need to worry about it at all."

The division chief's heart tightened with anxiety as he thought, "According to what Crazy Dog White said, he must be representing someone else who is helping Ma Ern get out of trouble... and his client is undoubtedly a wealthy patron..."

He became increasingly worried, thinking, "What if this Ma Ern really has a powerful behind-the-scenes figure?"

As he thought about this, his face turned red with embarrassment and he said awkwardly, "According to regulations, even if you arrange for Ma Ern to see a doctor at another hospital, we'll still send police personnel to accompany her. You know that Ma Ern is currently a suspect and we can't let her slip out of our sight."

James White spoke coldly, saying, "This basic understanding of the law doesn't require your reminder. Instead, it's you officers who are supposed to uphold the law and defend human rights, but you're deliberately disregarding legal regulations and human dignity... that's really disappointing!"

The division chief's face turned red and white with embarrassment as he said awkwardly, "Mr. White, your criticism is very much on point. I'll definitely urge my subordinates to get rid of these bad habits..."

James White didn't respond to him anymore, but instead looked at Ma Ern and whispered in Chinese, "Ma Ern, later I'll take you to the hospital and arrange for a single room with the best treatment environment... it'll be like staying in a five-star hotel."

Ma Ern heard this and suddenly exhaled a sigh of relief, saying hastily, "Oh, thank you so much, Mr. White!"

"James White spoke up sincerely, saying, 'Ma Ern, from now on I am your private lawyer and assistant, so you don't need to be this formal with me.'"

Ma Ern was taken aback that James White, who could frighten the entire police station's police officers' faces pale, would be so polite towards himself.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "I never thought my good son-in-law Ye Chen would be so powerful, even in New York he could have such strong connections, one phone call and arrange for me to get out of this situation, such a powerful lawyer, it seems I should be able to leave this time......"

James White continued, saying, "Oh, Ma Ern, after you get to the hospital, your personal freedom may be restricted within the hospital room because the police will accompany us together, and I hope you won't mind."

Ma Ern responded immediately, saying, "No, no problem! As long as they don't keep me here, I can handle it!"

When Ma Ern went to the hospital with James White, Ye Chen was on his way to New York.

James White timely reported the situation to Fei Jianzhong, who then immediately fed back the information to Ye Chen.

According to James White's account, he could at most apply for one to two days of hospital treatment for Ma Ern, but after her hospital treatment ended, Ma Ern would have to participate in a pre-trial preparation."

Just before the trial, the judge will make a decision on whether Ma Ern can be bailed out based on the situation of the case.

If it's possible to be bailed out, the judge will specify an amount for the bail, and as long as the money is paid, the person can temporarily regain their freedom.

However, according to James White's account, the quantity of contraband involved in this case is simply too much, so bail is basically impossible.

This means that after the trial, Ma Ern will be taken into custody and temporarily detained in a detention center.

In the US, there are also jail and prison facilities, although they both translate to "jail" but the former is more similar to China's detention centers, used for detaining those with lighter crimes or suspects who have not been sentenced yet, while the latter is the true sense of a prison, used to imprison those who have already been sentenced.

Ma Ern will be detained in the former.

To ease Ye Chen's concerns, Fei Jianzhong also promised that he can quietly extract Ma Ern from inside through special channels.

He even said that if needed, he can directly send Ma Ern back to China and settle everything on this side.

However, Ye Chen declined his offer. JrNovels.com
