Chapter 2420

Ma Lan's cold voice made Chloe and Jessica pale with fright.

In the past few days, their lives were comparable to hell.

What the two of them had done to Ma Lan before, combined with Ma Lan's vengeful personality, destined that they would not have a good end.

And Ma Lan also gradually changed from beating and torturing the two at the beginning to extreme humiliation and enslavement of the two.

Not letting them eat, finding all kinds of hard labor for them, watching them like the slaves imprisoned by American farm owners in those days, unable to catch their breath for a moment, was Ma Lan's favorite thing to do.

For example, when the weather was hot, Ma Lan liked to be barefoot in the cell, so she made the two of them wipe the floor at least five times a day in turns. If her soles were dirty after walking in the cell for a day, then they wouldn't want to sleep that night. When others were sleeping, they had to kneel on the ground and wipe the floor all night.

At the moment, Ma Lan asked the two of them to wash dirty clothes, and the two of them dared not disobey, and could only accept it silently with tears.

Seeing the two of them start to honestly collect the sheets and quilt covers replaced by everyone, Ma Lan sneered with satisfaction, then stood up and greeted the people around her: "Let's go, let's eat!"

A group of other people hurriedly followed Ma Lan and crowded her out of the cell.

Along the way, no matter who they met, no matter what the other party's identity, age, or skin color was, almost everyone would respectfully call out "Sister Lan, hello" to Ma Lan in Chinese.

This feeling of being responded to by everyone made Ma Lan extremely satisfied and extremely inflated, and the whole person was a bit floating.

When they arrived at the dining hall, the people who were queuing for food immediately consciously dodged left and right. The woman who was originally queuing first immediately said respectfully: "Sister Lan, please first!"

Ma Lan hummed, stepped forward, looked at one of the staff members, and asked: "Is the tomato and egg sauce I want ready?"

The staff member immediately nodded and said: "Ready, Sister Lan."

As she spoke, she took out an insulated lunch box from under the dining table, which was filled with tomato scrambled eggs made in Chinese style.

Ma Lan nodded with satisfaction. This was what she specifically instructed the prison guard to arrange for her. Eating those Western-style meals provided by the prison every day really made her feel annoyed. Plus, Americans eat a lot of meat, sugar, and oil, so she now missed simple Chinese meals like tomato and egg noodles very much.

Ma Lan winked at a female prisoner beside her. The other party immediately understood, hurriedly stepped forward to take the insulated lunch box, and then asked Ma Lan: "Sister Lan, what else do you want to eat?"

Ma Lan said lightly: "Prepare a portion of whatever there is and bring it over."

"Okay!" The female prisoner nodded very respectfully, and then together with another prisoner, put various foods into the dining tray and followed Ma Lan to the dining table exclusively for Ma Lan.

This dining table was by the window, with the best view and the most comfort. Since Ma Lan became the Ghost Fearer of Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, she set a rule that this table could only be used by her in the future.

Originally, almost every day, prisoners would have quarrels or even conflicts to grab this table, but since Ma Lan became the boss here, everyone would consciously stay away from this table to avoid angering Ma Lan.

After all, Ma Lan not only had three extremely capable followers around her, but more importantly, from prison guards to the warden, they all had to give her face. It can be said that Ma Lan was eating both black and white in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.

Ma Lan came to her favorite dining table and sat down. The followers on both sides hurriedly put the dining tray and lunch box in front of her. A staff member also hurriedly brought a glass of iced cola and said respectfully: "Sister Lan, this is sugar-free cola, you can drink it with confidence, don't worry about blood sugar problems."

Ma Lan hummed with satisfaction, took a sip of the cola, and immediately felt a refreshing comfort in this hot summer day.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It's strange, I never want to drink cola when I see it outside, but here, I can be so satisfied with a sip of iced cola."

Just as she was thinking happily, the Chinese female prison guard ran to her dining table in a panic and said happily: "Sister Lan, Sister Lan! There is good news, Sister Lan!"

Seeing her excited face, Ma Lan's heart suddenly thumped, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "What good news? It makes you so excited."

The female prison guard hurriedly explained: "Sister Lan, your lawyer is here!"

"My lawyer?!" Ma Lan's expression froze instantly, and she exclaimed: "Is it that James White? What is he doing here?!"

The female prison guard said excitedly: "He is here to meet you, saying that there is great news to convey to you in person."

Ma Lan was stunned and frowned: "Could it be... could it be that he cleared my suspicion?!"

The female prison guard said without hesitation: "It should be, otherwise how can it be called great news?! Sister Lan, congratulations, you will soon clear your suspicion and regain your freedom!"

Ma Lan's expression was a bit depressed, and she thought to herself: "But I don't want to regain my freedom now... If I regain my freedom now, how can I be the Ghost Fearer of Bedford Hills?"

Seeing that Ma Lan was a bit distracted, the female prison guard couldn't help but remind: "Sister Lan, the lawyer is waiting in the meeting room now. Do you want to go over first?"

As she spoke, she hurriedly said: "Sister Lan, why don't you eat first? It's the same if you go over after eating. Just let that lawyer wait a while in the meeting room."

Ma Lan always felt a bit uneasy in her heart. What exactly was going on, she had to see James White first to know.

So, she stood up and said: "Take me to see him first, otherwise I really can't eat this meal!"

As she spoke, Ma Lan followed the female prison guard to the meeting room of the correctional facility.

At this time, James White, the most famous criminal lawyer in New York, was already waiting here.

Seeing Ma Lan come in, he immediately stood up and said respectfully in Chinese: "Hello, Ms. Ma, we meet again."

Ma Lan nodded absentmindedly, and then asked him: "What are you looking for me for?"

James White smiled and said: "Ms. Ma, I came here to tell you good news. The woman who handed the contraband to you at the airport has finally been brought to justice!"

"What?!" Ma Lan blurted out: "Are you talking about Zong Qiuhua?"

James White explained: "That woman's real name is not Zong Qiuhua, her name is..."

Ma Lan waved her hand impatiently, interrupting his words, and said: "I don't care what her name is, I just want to know what the status of this matter is now."

James White thought Ma Lan couldn't wait to get out, so he said excitedly: "According to the feedback from my informant at the New York Police Department, that woman has confessed her actions to the police. The police can now basically confirm that you are innocent. However, the police still need to go through some legal procedures. After the procedures are completed, they will issue a certificate that you are indeed ignorant of all this, and then issue a document to the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. By then, you will be able to regain your freedom."

Hearing this, Ma Lan hurriedly asked: "Then when will they let me out?"

James White looked at the time and replied: "I'm afraid it's a bit tight today, but there will definitely be no problem tomorrow!"

"Ah?!" Ma Lan blurted out in disappointment: "Then... can't you let them delay for a few more days?"
