"Ma Lan?!"

When Xu Jianxi heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he asked with an unbelievable look: "Sister Mei, do you mean Ma Lan reported us?! She... she doesn't know our true identities either!"

Mei Yuzhen said with a serious expression: "I feel that the accident in our family is inseparable from Ma Lan's arrest. Maybe it started because of her, but if you want me to produce substantial evidence, I can't."

Man Yingjie on the side hurriedly said: "Auntie Mei, I think that Ma Lan is just an old loser. She could be fooled so easily, she definitely couldn't have any great ability."

Sun Huina also echoed on the side: "Yes, Auntie Mei, Ma Lan doesn't look like someone with real ability."

Mei Yuzhen said coldly: "Do you still remember her son-in-law?"

"Remember," Man Yingjie said: "Isn't that the boy surnamed Ye, what's his name, Ye Chen?"

"Yes, that's him!" Mei Yuzhen nodded heavily and said coldly: "Thinking about it now, I always feel that the boy doesn't seem to be ordinary!"

Sun Huina tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked: "Auntie Mei, besides being handsome, that boy doesn't seem to have anything unusual, right?"

Mei Yuzhen said with a solemn expression: "I can't say exactly, it's just an intuition."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, took out the mobile phone she used specifically to contact her family, and quickly flipped through it.

After looking for a long time, Mei Yuzhen said with a puzzled look: "Strange... how could there be no movement at all..."

Man Yingjie asked curiously: "What do you mean there's nothing, Auntie Mei, what exactly are you talking about?"

Mei Yuzhen blurted out: "There hasn't been any media report about Ma Lan's arrest until now. The contraband Ma Lan was found with exceeded five kilograms. No matter where it is, it's a big case, and there are so many news media in New York. This kind of thing should be reported immediately, but why can't I find any news reports at all?"

Man Yingjie hurriedly asked: "What keywords did you search for, Auntie Mei?"

Mei Yuzhen said: "I searched for 'Kennedy Airport', 'seized', 'contraband', but all I found were previous news reports. And in these news reports, there was even a report about someone being found with less than 50 grams of contraband. 50 grams is worth reporting, why isn't five kilograms?"

Man Yingjie frowned and muttered: "If you say so, this is indeed a bit strange... According to the personality of customs and police, after seizing such a big case, they should wish the whole world knew about it."

Mei Yuzhen said very seriously: "This matter must have been suppressed artificially, and I think the mastermind behind it must have something to do with Ma Lan!"

As she spoke, Mei Yuzhen added: "I know Ma Lan's situation. Like you said, she's just an old loser, she can't have any real ability, and she's stupid to death. So the biggest suspect is her son-in-law who doesn't show his face or reveal his water!"

"Damn..." Man Yingjie smacked his lips and blurted out: "Should we tell the people above and let them investigate that boy surnamed Ye?"

Mei Yuzhen shook her head and said: "If he is really the mastermind, then his strength is absolutely terrifying. You must know that not only can he suppress such big news in the United States, but he can also find out the situation of my family and Old Xu's family in the country and tip off the police;"

"Moreover, there is a very important premise here, and that is that he must have already mastered our true identities, so he could find our families through our true identities. To be able to find out our true identities in such a short time, the energy behind this may far exceed our cognition..."

Man Yingjie suddenly remembered something at this time and realized: "That's not right, Auntie Mei! If Ma Lan's son-in-law really had such powerful strength, then Ma Lan couldn't have been fooled by us. With her personality, if her son-in-law were so powerful, her tail would have been in the sky long ago, and she wouldn't have been able to play with you at all."

Mei Yuzhen said very firmly: "This only explains one thing, and that is that this idiot Ma Lan doesn't know what kind of person her son-in-law is at all!"

Xu Jianxi, who was in a lost soul manner, heard this and blurted out: "If only there was a chance to kidnap that Ma Lan! I don't care what her son-in-law's background is. If she doesn't spit out the money from my family that was sealed, I'll stab her to death!"

Mei Yuzhen said coldly: "Old Xu, I advise you not to dream. If Ma Lan's son-in-law wants to get Ma Lan out of prison, he must catch us. That boy found out our true identities so quickly, I'm afraid we are in for a bad time..."

"Ah?!" Man Yingjie was so scared that his face turned pale, and he blurted out: "Auntie Mei, what should we do now?!"

Mei Yuzhen blurted out: "It seems that my choice to go to Mexico was right. Let's escape to Mexico as soon as possible. The public security there is chaotic, and it's convenient for us to hide. After we get there, we can think of countermeasures slowly!"

At this very moment.

New York's most high-end private hospital.

Ma Lan had just woken up on the soft hospital bed in the luxury single ward.

Although she had broken a rib, fortunately, the problem was not serious. The doctor gave her oral medicine and external medicine, and helped her reduce the pain to a minimum, so the physical pain could almost be ignored.

However, unlike the body, Ma Lan's spirit had been tortured for a whole night.

She had many dreams while sleeping last night. Although each dream was different, each dream ended with her being sentenced to death by the court.

This night, Ma Lan didn't know how many times she had been scared awake, and didn't know how many times she had cried alone holding a pillow.

Although Ye Chen found her a very powerful big lawyer, she was still afraid that she would not be able to clear her name.

At this time, there were several police officers standing guard outside the ward. In order to prevent Ma Lan from escaping, they had guarded here for a whole night.

The Chinese-American female doctor specially arranged by the hospital for Ma Lan happened to come for rounds. After the police officers cleared the door, the female doctor knocked on the ward door gently before pushing it open.

Seeing that Ma Lan had woken up, she asked very politely: "Ms. Ma, how are you feeling now? Did you sleep well last night?"

Ma Lan's eyes turned red, and tears kept dripping down. She choked and said: "Last night... I don't know how many times I was sentenced to death... Doctor... I am truly wronged..."

The female doctor said helplessly: "Ms. Ma, I believe in your innocence, but after all, I am just a doctor. This kind of thing still depends on the judge..."

As she spoke, the female doctor asked again: "What would you like to eat for breakfast? If you have anything you want to eat, you can tell me, and I will arrange for logistics personnel to prepare it."

Ma Lan hurriedly asked: "Then are there any dietary restrictions for me?"

The female doctor shook her head and said: "Your attending physician said that your injury is not a big problem, and the diet should be based on your own preferences."

Ma Lan hurriedly said: "Then I want to eat some sea cucumber, preferably millet-stewed sea cucumber. People say sea cucumber is good for the body. It seems that those who play football eat sea cucumber every day!"

The female doctor nodded and said: "No problem. Our hospital might not have this kind of thing, but I will arrange for someone to go to a Chinese restaurant to purchase it for you later."

Ma Lan hurriedly asked again: "This... I don't have to pay for it myself, right?"

"No," the female doctor said seriously: "All your expenses here do not need to be borne by you personally. Your lawyer has already signed for you."

When Ma Lan heard this, she couldn't help but be excited and hurriedly said: "Then please ask them to cook me another lobster porridge."

"No problem," the female doctor agreed without hesitation.

Ma Lan remembered something and hurriedly asked the doctor: "By the way, can you issue a certificate of serious injury so that I can stay here all the time?"

The female doctor shook her head and said seriously: "Ms. Ma, your injury has stabilized. According to the police's request, you can be discharged from the hospital at noon."
