Chapter 2323

"What?!" In that instant, Mei Yuzhen felt as if she had been struck by five bolts of lightning.

She hurriedly asked: "Why did the police arrest them? Did they give any reason?"

At this very moment, Mei Yuzhen kept praying to God in her heart. She hoped that her husband and his two sons had been taken away by the police for gambling, prostitution, or some other matter.

Even if they had been taken away by the police for murder, it wouldn't matter.

But absolutely, absolutely not for money laundering!

Because, murder is just a matter of losing one's head!

Two sons, one husband—it wouldn't matter if any of them were sentenced to death, or if all three were sentenced to death with a reprieve; anyway, there would be a day when they could come out.

But once it was for money laundering, then it was truly over!

That meant that all the assets she had worked so hard to build up over so many years would be sealed according to law!

Then all her efforts for half her life would truly vanish into thin air in an instant!

Just as she was praying for God's protection in her heart, her eldest daughter-in-law said something that was like a bolt from the blue.

"The police said they seem to be suspected of some money laundering crime... and they also said they want to seal all the property, including the house and the car... Mom, what should we do..."

Mei Yuzhen felt as if her soul had been sucked away. She collapsed onto the seat, terrified to the extreme, while hysterically slapping her own face, muttering: "Wake up... this is a nightmare... this must be a nightmare..."

However, the pain of the slap on her face felt incredibly clear, not at all like being in a dream.

Her heart grew more and more desperate, and she was already like a walking corpse.

On the other end of the phone, her eldest daughter-in-law was crying her heart out: "Mom... think of a way, Mom! You are our only hope now... come back quickly and smooth things over for them..."

"Smooth things over?!" Mei Yuzhen screamed and blurted out: "I've been away from home for more than twenty years, and I've only been back less than ten times in these twenty years. After I go back, I won't know anyone, and the money will all be sealed. What relationships can I smooth over?"

"Ah?!" The eldest daughter-in-law on the other end of the phone collapsed immediately, wailing: "If they are really sentenced to ten or eight years, what are we women and children supposed to do..."

Mei Yuzhen thought of something and blurted out: "Listen to me now, hurry up and transfer all the valuable things in the house out, find a way to take out their deposits from the bank. In short, get as much money out as you can, hurry up!"

"Ah?!" The eldest daughter-in-law blurted out: "I don't dare! The police said that if I move money out now, it's against the law, and if they find out, I'll have to go to jail too! I can't go to jail, no matter who goes to jail! I still have four children here!"

Mei Yuzhen scolded angrily: "The police are just trying to scare you, what are you afraid of? I'm telling you, if all this money is sealed, forget about the villa you live in and the luxury car you drive, even the milk powder money and tuition for your four children won't be left! Are you going to take the children and end up on the street?"

"I... I..." The eldest daughter-in-law cried and said: "They have to leave us a house to live in, right?! They can't just kick us out like this, right?"

Mei Yuzhen gritted her teeth and said: "I'm telling you, if it's really money laundering, nothing in this house will be left! If you don't want to live a poor life from now on, then hurry up and do as I say!"

The daughter-in-law blurted out: "I don't dare... even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't dare do it..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly said: "The second one's wife is right here, why don't you talk to her and see if she dares."

The second daughter-in-law on the side of the phone blurted out without thinking: "If you don't dare, I dare even less!"

As she spoke, she cried and said: "Let the police seal whatever they want to seal. For so many years, besides staying at home to raise children, I haven't done anything illegal or undisciplined. The police definitely can't arrest me."

When the eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes... the two of us are just women. Besides giving birth, nursing, and raising children, we don't know how to do anything else, and we haven't done anything. The police definitely won't do anything to us!"

When Mei Yuzhen heard this, anger surged deep in her heart, and she wished she could rush back immediately and kill these two daughters-in-law.

She gritted her back teeth tightly and said hysterically and coldly: "My Mei family has raised you for so many years, I didn't expect that in the end, I raised two ungrateful wolves! If you two don't do as I say, when I return to the country, you will be the first ones I deal with!"

The second daughter-in-law was so scared that her face turned pale in this instant. Although she didn't know what her mother-in-law had been doing in the United States for so many years, every time she saw her mother-in-law, she felt that this woman had a very heavy murderous aura and didn't look like a good person at all. So, hearing her say this, she was naturally very afraid in her heart, so she asked the eldest daughter-in-law in a low voice: "Sister-in-law... this... what should we do..."

The eldest daughter-in-law was also very panicked at this moment. Although she was shrewish, she also knew that she was nothing in front of her mother-in-law.

However, she quickly figured out one thing, so she blurted out: "Mom, I just figured it out! Dayong and Eryong are both guilty of money laundering, and that money was all earned by you... Have you been doing something illegal outside? Not to mention anything else, the money you earned must have come from improper sources, right? If the sources were proper, how could the police come to the house to arrest people?!"

Mei Yuzhen was originally full of murderous aura, but when she heard this, her whole heart instantly fell to the bottom.

What she was worried about just now was all the family foundation she had earned over so many years, but she ignored one thing: the reason why her husband and two sons were inside was likely because what she was doing here in the United States had already been exposed.

If that was the case, then she might never be able to return to the country in her life.

Otherwise, she would likely be arrested by the domestic police as soon as she got off the plane.

Thinking of this, she fell into deep despair, subconsciously hung up the phone, and then turned off the only remaining mobile phone.

Man Jinshan, Man Yingjie, and others in the car roughly understood what had happened to Mei Yuzhen's family, and each of them was also very nervous.

Man Jinshan gathered his courage and asked Mei Yuzhen: "Sister Mei, what happened at home?"

Mei Yuzhen said in a lost soul manner: "Pull over... hurry up and pull over!"

Man Jinshan hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road.

At this time, Mei Yuzhen pushed open the car door and stumbled down. She hadn't even run two meters away before she vomited violently, vomiting all the food residue in her stomach clean.

Man Jinshan hurriedly stepped forward, patted Mei Yuzhen on the back, and at the same time said to Man Yingjie: "Hurry up and get a bottle of water!"

Man Yingjie immediately took a bottle of water from the car, unscrewed it, handed it to Mei Yuzhen, and said nervously: "Auntie Mei, hurry up and rinse your mouth..."

Mei Yuzhen couldn't stop vomiting, and even vomited bile. Her face was as pale as paper, like a terminally ill patient about to die.

She took the pure water handed by Man Yingjie, took only one sip, and then coughed violently again. The water mixed with bile surged all the way to her nasal cavity through her trachea. That feeling was indescribably painful.

She muttered to herself: "Gone... everything is gone..."

As she spoke, because of the hatred in her heart, she threw the bottle full of water far away, and roared hysterically in extreme despair: "Why! Why is it like this! That is my hard work for half a life!!!"
