Chapter 2427

Ma Lan endured the long twenty minutes in the dark, hopeless terror.

As soon as the twenty minutes were up, Ma Lan rushed to the public phone by the playground at the first opportunity.

Many inmates watched her desperate sprint from the sidelines with cold eyes. Although many of them were already itching to teach Ma Lan a lesson, the yard time had just begun, and there were many prison guards watching, so they didn't dare to make a move on Ma Lan immediately.

According to the custom of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility prison guards, during the one-hour yard time, the first fifteen minutes and the last fifteen minutes require focused monitoring of the inmates, because according to their consistent experience, the most frequent node for prison breaks is during the process of inmates passing through different areas.

From the cell to the cafeteria, from the cafeteria to the playground, and returning to the cell from the work area—these processes are generally high-risk stages for prison breaks. It often happens that there were twenty people just a moment ago, but after passing through a certain area, there are only nineteen left if one is not careful.

Therefore, after they escort the inmates to the playground and before they prepare to take the inmates back to the cells from the playground, the prison guards must spend fifteen minutes counting the number of people and observing if there is anything abnormal about them. As for the half hour in the middle, it is time left for the inmates to do as they please.

In prison, conflict is almost impossible to avoid.

Therefore, for the administrators, leaving a little time every day for inmates to resolve conflicts is also a very important management method.

If the inmates are not given the opportunity to resolve conflicts for a long time, allowing them to harbor dissatisfaction and hatred, it often leads to major trouble.

If they are given the opportunity to have a fistfight every day, then basically nothing major will happen.

Over the past few days, Ma Lan had been using this half-hour vacuum time to constantly build her prestige, making herself the "Ghost-Fear" of Bedford Hills.

Right now, Ma Lan's greatest wish was to make a phone call to Ye Chen before this half-hour vacuum time, asking him to find a way to save her no matter what.

After sprinting all the way, Ma Lan was the first to pick up the public phone, and then she dialed Ye Chen with trembling hands.

Once the call went through, she couldn't care about saving face anymore and cried, "Good son-in-law, when exactly are you going to get Mom out!"

Ye Chen said on the other end of the phone, "Mom, I've already entrusted someone to say a word, I will definitely get you out before tonight."

When Ma Lan heard this, she blurted out, "Ah?! Still have to wait until tonight! Good son-in-law, Mom will tell you the truth, Mom can wait at most ten more minutes now. If you don't find a way to save Mom, Mom might die here."

Ye Chen actually knew everything about Ma Lan like the back of his hand, but at this moment, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Mom, what happened exactly? Aren't you having a good time in prison?"

At this point, Ma Lan no longer cared about saving face blindly. She choked up and said to Ye Chen, "My good son-in-law, the reason Mom didn't want to get out so quickly a while ago was because Mom met a few Chinese friends inside. Not only do they have a great relationship with me, but they are also very capable of fighting. With them protecting Mom, Mom has been living very comfortably in here..."

"By then, we can give the child the top-tier standard of living, the top-tier educational resources, and let the child leap to become one of the very few people at the top of society! This is a class leap that reaches the sky in one step!"

Ye Chen exclaimed, "Mom, you shouldn't have joined a gang in prison, right?"

Ma Lan said dejectedly, "It's pretty much that kind of thing... Good son-in-law, can you really help Mom and get Mom out right now, immediately... Mom is begging you! The situation is extremely urgent now, Mom really can't wait anymore!"

Ye Chen sighed and said, "Mom, this is the United States after all, and I'm not familiar with the place. It's indeed not that easy to operate, and besides, I'm also asking others for help, so the efficiency will definitely be delayed..."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Mom, how about this, I'll rush over there now, and on the way, I'll call my client to see if he can help find a way to get you out as soon as possible. When the time comes, I'll pick you up directly, and we'll go back to Providence together!"

Actually, Ye Chen himself had already arrived at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.

With him were Fei Jianzhong of the Fei family and those three female soldiers from the Cataclysmic Front.

And Ye Chen was currently standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the warden's office, overlooking the entire prison playground from a high vantage point.

Ma Lan's anxious appearance in front of the public phone was completely seen by Ye Chen.

For Ye Chen, if he wanted to get Ma Lan out, it would only take one word; Fei Jianzhong could make the warden release the person within ten seconds.

However, for Ye Chen, that would be too easy on Ma Lan.

Ma Lan is the type of person who always forgets the pain once the wound heals. With a little benefit, she completely loses her normal judgment. Even if it's licking blood from a knife's edge or snatching food from a tiger's mouth, as long as she gets a taste of the benefits, she will become more daring and addicted to it.

Just like this time at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, if she were sensible and knew when to advance or retreat, knowing when to stop while ahead, then the first time James White found her, she should have prepared to leave prison and quickly left that place of right and wrong.

But because she was greedy for her unique influence at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, she took the initiative to request a delay in her release time. In Ye Chen's view, this was simply stupid to the point of being outrageous.

If he didn't take this opportunity to teach Ma Lan a lesson, she wouldn't learn her lesson next time.

Therefore, Ye Chen had already planned a whole reality show for Ma Lan, and now it had just entered the warm-up stage.

Right now, he expressed difficulty on the phone just to make Ma Lan even more terrified, and even more regretful, giving her a thorough lesson.

Ma Lan was indeed very regretful now, but it was too late to say anything. She could only pin all her hopes on Ye Chen and choked up, "Good son-in-law, you must be as fast as possible, otherwise, you'll just have to wait to collect Mom's body..."

Just as she finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared in front of Ma Lan, and then the phone in her hand was snatched away by someone.

Before Ma Lan could recover, the other party had already hung up the phone, then kicked Ma Lan in the stomach, sending her flying far away, cursing, "This is a public phone, do you think it's your own home? You just keep talking and talking!"

Ma Lan let out an "ouch" and fell to the ground. When she climbed up, she saw clearly that the one who had kicked her away was actually that same Little Zhang who had slapped her earlier.

Ma Lan was furious and blurted out, "Zhang Anqi! This is going too far! I'm making a call to my family, what does that have to do with you?!"

The woman called Zhang Anqi smiled slightly and said coldly, "It has everything to do with me!"

As she spoke, she stared at Ma Lan through gritted teeth and scolded, "You surnamed Ma, do you know? I originally thought you could protect me, so I asked you for help to teach Mandy in our cell a lesson. But what about now? Your backing is gone. Now a bunch of people are waiting to teach you a lesson. Have you thought about what we'll do when Mandy comes back from the infirmary?!"

"That Mandy has been imprisoned at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for two or three years and has many prison friends with good relationships. Those people didn't dare to help her deal with me before because they were afraid of the people around you. Now that they have been released, when Mandy comes back, she will definitely gather her prison friends to take revenge on me. By then, my fate will probably be miserable too!"

Saying this, she stepped on Ma Lan's chest and shouted angrily, "You surnamed Ma, you've really harmed me! In a moment, I want you to make it clear in front of everyone that it wasn't me who asked you to teach Mandy a lesson, but that you yourself found Mandy an eyesore! If you tell the truth honestly, I might spare you. Otherwise, I'll break your dog legs!"
