Chapter 421

Zhang Guifen's words immediately stirred up the anger of the people around, and these people were immediately filled with righteous indignation!

Although everyone was a prisoner, the people locked in the detention center generally didn't commit major crimes, nor were they extremely evil people, and they instinctively had a psychology of sympathizing with the weak.

Hearing Old Mrs. Xiao's words, and seeing that Old Mrs. Xiao already had white hair, they couldn't help but believe her words.

Therefore, everyone immediately condemned indignantly.

"Even abandoning such an old mother, this is simply a family of animals."

"Who says it isn't? Living in a 100 million villa, but not willing to give even one bedroom to the old lady, how can there be such a disgusting person."

"Old lady, don't worry, such a daughter-in-law will be struck by lightning sooner or later!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was in tears, "Thank you, thank you for your concern and support. This old woman really didn't expect to meet so many good people here!"

Zhang Guifen sighed, "Old lady, to tell you the truth, when I see you, I think of my mother who died from drinking medicine. It's not easy for the elderly! It's even harder to meet an unfilial daughter-in-law!"

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded repeatedly, crying and saying, "Sigh, I'm detained for fifteen days. I don't know what to do after I go out in fifteen days. No place to eat, no place to live. A few months later, I might even be sued by the court."

Zhang Guifen hurriedly said, "Old lady, then you might as well stay in the detention center. We have three meals a day on time, and we have food and housing. Isn't it better than wandering the streets outside?"

When Old Mrs. Xiao heard her say this, she felt a burst of despair in her heart.

Could it be that she would really be reduced to begging for food and drink in the detention center in the future?

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xiao shouted wildly in her heart, "No! No matter what, I am the head of the Xiao family. If I am reduced to retiring in prison, wouldn't all the face I worked so hard to earn in my life be lost before I die?!"

Must find an opportunity to turn things around!

At this moment, a police car stopped at the entrance of the detention center.

Two police officers escorted a woman with disheveled hair into the detention center.

This woman was Ma Lan.

Ma Lan was escorted by the police officers, looking dejected, with cold handcuffs on her hands.

Along the way, she had cried her tears dry and her throat hoarse. She never dreamed that she had stolen Ye Chen's bank card, but turned around and became a prisoner.

Listening to the police officers, she was now facing indefinite detention until the entire transnational criminal chain was investigated clearly and other suspects were caught, only then would it be submitted to the procuratorial organ to initiate a public prosecution.

After the public prosecution was initiated, the court would hold a trial, and how many years she would be sentenced would depend on how big the whole case was dug out to be.

Ma Lan asked in a panic how long she would be sentenced if this charge was established.

The police officer told her that attempted fraud of 21.9 billion RMB from the bank could already be said to be the biggest fraud case in decades. Even if it was an attempt, its nature was extremely bad, so it was highly likely to be a life sentence.

If accomplices were caught and more criminal evidence was dug out, it was even possible to be shot.

Ma Lan was so scared that she almost lost control of her bladder. She hated Ye Chen to death in her heart and really wanted to talk to her daughter Xiao Churan immediately, and then let her divorce that big swindler Ye Chen immediately.

However, the police officer said that she was involved in a major case, and before the case was tried, she could not meet or contact her family members, and she could not even hire a lawyer for the time being.

Ma Lan was filled with hatred in her heart, but she had nowhere to vent it.

After entering the high walls of the detention center, the police officers immediately took Ma Lan to handle the detention procedures.

The procedures were very complicated. Not only did she have to take photos and verify her identity, but she also had to take off all her own clothes and hand them over to the detention center, and then change into the prison uniform and unified daily necessities provided by the detention center.

After Ma Lan changed into the prison uniform, the two police officers who sent her over had already left. From now on, everything about her was managed by the detention center.

A female prison guard took her into the prison area. While walking, she introduced to her according to the usual practice, "This is a cell for twenty people. We get up at six o'clock every morning and turn off the lights at ten o'clock in the evening. We have three meals a day, all eaten in our own cell."

After saying this, she glanced at Ma Lan and said expressionlessly, "However, the meals are quantified. Your physique may not necessarily be able to eat enough. If you need any other food or daily necessities, you can let your family members deposit some money under your name, and then you can buy things at the small shop inside."

"That's great!" Ma Lan hurriedly asked, "How can I contact my family members?!"

The female prison guard only then remembered what the police officer had told her when he sent Ma Lan over, so she said with a cold face, "Almost forgot, you are a suspect in a major criminal case and cannot have contact with the outside world for the time being, so if you can't eat enough, just treat it as dieting!"

When Ma Lan heard this, she felt a burst of despair in her heart again.

She suddenly thought that Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei, the grandmother and granddaughter, seemed to have also been locked in the detention center. Would she run into them?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

But soon this nervousness vanished.

It didn't matter if she ran into Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei. Old Mrs. Xiao was just an old woman. If she dared to be arrogant with her, she could kick half her life away with one kick!

As for Xiao Weiwei, although this little girl was young, she was just a little girl who didn't do any work. That physique couldn't even hold up for two rounds at the mahjong table. If she really wanted to fight with her, it would just be a matter of two slaps.

At this time, the prison guard pointed to the cell not far ahead and said, "Ma Lan, that is cell number 025, you will be here from now on!"

Ma Lan nodded hurriedly.

At the same time, in cell number 025, Old Mrs. Xiao had just calmed down a little under the comfort of everyone.

She really didn't expect that these cellmates in the cell would sympathize with her so much. Everyone gathered around and comforted her one by one, which really made her feel much more comfortable.

Xiao Weiwei's mood was also much better than when she first entered the detention center.

She previously thought that the detention center must be like in the movies, full of bullies who bullied people everywhere, and newcomers would be bullied and humiliated in various ways, and wouldn't even be able to eat, but she didn't expect it to be so warm inside.

Just at this moment, someone looked at the door and shouted, "A newcomer is here again!"

Outside the iron door, the female prison guard opened the cell where Old Mrs. Xiao was, pushed Ma Lan, pushed Ma Lan into the cell, and said, "Go in and reflect on yourself!"

Ma Lan had just been pushed in when the iron door was closed again.

She looked nervously at the other prisoners in the cell and found that they were all gathered around a lower bunk. She was a bit surprised in her heart and thought to herself, "What are these old women gathered in a circle for? Listening to a story?"

At this time, Old Mrs. Xiao, who was surrounded by the crowd, recognized Ma Lan at a glance. She was shocked and trembled all over, then roared with her eyes splitting, "Ma Lan! You shrew, you actually have today!"
