Chapter: 4824
Mei Ju Zhen said: "I searched for Kennedy Airport, seizure, and contraband-related keywords. But all the results were from previous news reports. Even some of these reports mentioned a seizure of less than 50 grams of contraband, which is worth reporting. Why didn't they report on this one?"
Meng Jing furrowed her brow and muttered to herself: "This sounds strange... Customs and police usually want everyone to know about such a big case."
Mei Ju Zhen said solemnly: "This incident must have been suppressed by someone, and I think the person behind it is connected to Ma Ran!"
As she was speaking, Mei Ju Zhen continued: "I'm familiar with Ma Ran's situation. She's just an old fool, so there's no way she could have any real skills. And stupid to death. So the biggest suspect is her son-in-law, who's not very visible and not very prominent!"
Meng Jing spat out: "Oh my god... Should we go tell them what's going on and let them investigate that guy named Ye?"
Mei Ju Zhen shook her head: "If he's really the one behind it, then his strength is absolutely terrifying. You need to know that he not only can suppress big news in the US but also can dig up our true identities and inform the police back home;"
"And what's more important is that he must have already grasped our true identities, so he could find out about our family members through our true identities. He did it all within such a short time, which means the energy behind this is possibly beyond our comprehension..."
Meng Jing suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "That's not right, Mei Ju Zhen! If Ma Lan's son-in-law really has that kind of powerful ability, then Ma Lan wouldn't have fallen for us. Given her character, if her son-in-law is that strong, she would've already flown away to heaven, never to play with you again."
Mei Ju Zhen said firmly, "This can only mean one thing: Ma Lan is completely unaware of what kind of person her son-in-law really is!"
Xu Jian Xi listened to this and blurted out, "I wish I could catch that Ma Lan and tie her up! I don't care where she came from, but if she doesn't give back the money seized from my home, I'll kill her with one stab!"
Mei Ju Zhen said coldly, "Old Xu, you'd better not have any fantasies. If Ma Lan's son-in-law wants to get her out of prison, he'll definitely take us few as hostages. And that kid is so quick in figuring out our true identities... we might be in for a lot of danger from now on..."
"Ah?!," Meng Jing's face turned white with shock and he asked, "Mei Ju Zhen, what are we going to do now?!"
Mei Ju Zhen replied hastily, "It seems my decision to go to Mexico was the right one. Let's get out of here as soon as possible and head to Mexico. The law and order is chaotic there, making it a good place for us to hide. We'll think of our next move after we get there."
...right now...
New York's highest-end private hospital.
Ma Lan had just woken up on the soft hospital bed in her luxurious private room.
Despite saying she had broken a rib, fortunately the issue wasn't too severe. The doctor gave her oral medication and topical medication, and also helped to reduce her pain levels to the lowest point, so the physical discomfort was almost negligible.
However, unlike physical issues, Ma Lan's mental state suffered throughout the night.
She had many dreams last night, although each dream was different, every one of them ended with her being sentenced to death by court.
This time around, Ma Lan didn't know how many times she woke up, nor did she know how many times she cried alone with her pillow.
Although Yi Chen had found her a very strong lawyer, she still feared that she might not be able to clear her name.
At this point, there were many police officers stationed outside the hospital room to prevent Ma Lan from escaping. They had been guarding here all night.
The Chinese doctor who was specifically assigned to Ma Lan just happened to come by for a check-up. The police officers at the door allowed the doctor in and she lightly knocked on the door before entering.
Upon seeing that Ma Lan was already awake, she politely opened her mouth and asked, "Ma'am, how do you feel now? Did you sleep well last night?"
Ma Lan's eyes welled up with tears, which began to fall uncontrollably as she choked out: "Last night... I don't know how many times I was sentenced to death... Doctor... I'm really innocent, ah..." JrNovels.com
