Ye Chen was on his way to New York when Ma Lan, accompanied by James White, went to the hospital.
James White reported the situation in time to Fei Jianzhong, who, in turn, gave Ye Chen feedback on the situation in the first instance.
According to James White, he could apply for one or two days of hospital treatment for Marashi at most, but after the hospital treatment was over, Marashi would have to attend the pre-trial hearing.
When the pre-hearing is held, the judge will make a ruling on whether Marashi can be released on bail, depending on the general circumstances of the case.
If bail can be granted, the judge will give a bail amount and as long as the money is available, the person will be able to regain his or her freedom temporarily.
However, according to James White, the amount of contraband involved in the case is so large that bail is basically impossible.
This means that after the trial, Marashi will be placed in a detention centre for the time being.
Although they both mean prison, the former is more similar to a Chinese detention centre, which is used to temporarily detain suspects who have been convicted of minor offences or have not yet been sentenced, while the latter is a real prison, used to imprison those who have been sentenced.
It was the former that Ma Lan was to be detained in.
In order not to let Ye Chen worry too much, Fei Jianzhong also promised him that he could quietly fish Ma Lan out of it first through special channels.
He could even send Ma Lan back to China directly if Ye Chen needed to, and he could take care of the matter here as well.
But Ye Chen declined his kind offer.
On the one hand, Ye Chen did not want his wife, who felt overpowered.
On the other hand, he also wanted Ma Lan to go in and learn a good lesson.
The last time he had been in the detention centre, Ma Lan had remembered that he could not just steal other people’s things, especially not just steal other people’s bank cards, but that experience in the detention centre had only taught him this lesson, and had not made Ma Lan realise the treacherous nature of the world, let alone break his greed and covetousness completely.
Although Ye Chen did not know exactly how Ma Lan had fallen for the trap this time, with his knowledge of this mother-in-law of his, he knew very well that the other party must have promised Ma Lan some kind of benefit in some sense, and that was why he had let his guard down so much.
Therefore, in Ye Chen’s view, it was absolutely right and proper to let Ma Lan be taught a lesson.
However, Ye Chen also knew very well that the mistake Ma Lan had made this time was slightly less serious than the last time he had stolen his own bank card and tried to transfer all the money from his bank card.
Therefore, he should be taught a lesson, but he should definitely not suffer too much in it.
In the United States, law and order was already bad, and the detention centres were probably filled with suspects who had committed murder and arson and were awaiting sentencing.
So, he called Wan Bajun and said, “Bajun, something has happened to my mother-in-law and she will probably go into the detention center in New York in a day or two.
Wan Bajun knew what kind of goods Ye Chen’s mother-in-law was, so as soon as he heard this, he immediately asked, “Mr. Ye, do you want your subordinates to take good care of you, or bad care? If I am the one who takes care of the bad, then I can do it without knowing ……”
“Don’t!” Ye Chen hurriedly interrupted him and said seriously, “Of course it’s for the better, where are you thinking of?”
Wan Bajun hastily apologized, “Sorry, Mr. Ye, it was my subordinate who thought wrongly …… You can rest a*sured, my subordinate will now arrange for someone to go in early and absolutely ensure that when your mother-in-law goes in, she will not be bullied in the slightest.”
Ye Chen instructed, “If someone bullies her after she goes in, don’t let your warriors intervene too early either, if you intervene too early, it will seem a bit fake and illogical, you can let her suffer a bit first before intervening on the grounds of compatriots.”
