Chapter 454

Ye Chen's words made his father-in-law wake up instantly.

Only at this moment did he realize that avoidance was not the way to solve the problem; only by facing the problem head-on and thoroughly resolving it was the best solution.

If he wanted to fly together with Han Meiqing, he had to divorce Ma Lan.

Only after the divorce could he uprightly and openly bring Han Meiqing into the house.

Thinking of this, his mood improved a lot. He said to Ye Chen: "Alright, I know. You go find your friends for help. I'll find someone to inquire about the divorce. As soon as your mom comes back, I'll bring up the divorce with her."

After saying goodbye to his father-in-law, Ye Chen took a taxi to the Bai Jinhangong Hotel.

Chen Zekai was already waiting for him there.

The hotel manager respectfully invited Ye Chen to Chen Zekai's office.

Once the office door was closed, Chen Zekai immediately said respectfully: "Young Master, I'm truly sorry to have troubled you to come here in person. I should have been the one to see you."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "It's easier for me to come see you. It wouldn't be easy to explain if you came to see me."

As he spoke, he asked: "How is my mother-in-law, who stole over twenty billion from me, doing in the detention center now?"

"Quite miserably," Chen Zekai said. "She has become the public enemy of the entire cell inside. I heard that she hasn't eaten a single bite of food since she went in."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and said expressionlessly: "All of this is her own doing; she can't blame anyone else."

Chen Zekai said earnestly from the side: "Young Master, I really didn't expect that such a woman, when seeing a deposit of over twenty billion, wouldn't have even a little bit of fear or worry, and didn't even think carefully about how there could be so much money on that card, and actually dared to transfer all the money to her own card. This person's guts are simply too big!"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "This mother-in-law of mine has loved money her whole life. Back then, she acted as a third party to come between my father-in-law and his first love, just because my father-in-law's family was relatively wealthy at the time, and he could be considered a standard rich second generation. As a result, what she didn't expect was that after they got married, the conditions of my father-in-law's family started to get worse and worse, and soon there was no money left. This person has chased after money her whole life, but never got it, so she has always been suppressed in her heart, and has already become twisted."

Chen Zekai said: "Young Master, actually I boldly suggest that it's best to let your mother-in-law suffer a bit more of a lesson inside, at least lock her up for three or five years, or at the very least for a year or a half. She's only been locked up for less than two days, are you going to release her now?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Releasing her is mainly because I feel sorry for my wife. But if she isn't honest after she comes out, I have other ways to deal with her slowly."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "Right, tomorrow morning you arrange for the police station to interrogate her. Just like I told you last time, find all the actors that need to be found, prepare all the props, and put on a big show for her then."

Chen Zekai immediately blurted out: "Young Master, please rest assured, I will definitely prepare everything."

Ye Chen said indifferently: "I came to see you mainly to go over the process with you again. Make sure there are no mistakes then."

Chen Zekai nodded and said: "Young Master, then let's start sorting it out!"

……

After Ye Chen sorted out all the procedures for tomorrow with Chen Zekai, he then took a taxi home unhurriedly.

But at this very moment, in the Jin Ling Detention Center, Ma Lan's nightmare was still continuing.

Because she had been subjected to various tortures and beatings since she first entered the detention center, and had been doused with a basin of cold water by Old Mrs. Xiao, plus she hadn't eaten a single bite of food for two days and one night, Ma Lan had completely collapsed. She not only had a severe cold but also developed a high fever.

The high fever made Ma Lan's whole body burn, and she was almost about to faint from the fever, but at this time, she was still not allowed to lie on the bed and could only curl up in the corner of the detention center cell, shivering.

Because of the fever, she felt an extreme cold, so cold that her whole body kept trembling.

She felt she couldn't hold on anymore, so she murmured and begged: "Please, please have pity on me, give me a quilt, I'm so cold, I'm really so cold……"

Old Mrs. Xiao sneered: "What are you calling for? A person like you still wants to cover yourself with a quilt? I tell you, you still have to sleep in the toilet tonight!"

Xiao Weiwei echoed from the side: "Grandma, I think she still needs to take a cold shower! How about the two of us go to the toilet to help her later?"

Hearing this, Ma Lan cried with snot and tears, begging miserably: "Mom, I really can't take it anymore. If you still make me sleep in the toilet and give me a cold shower tonight, then I will definitely die here tonight. I beg you to show some mercy!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said viciously: "You still hope that I can pity you? I tell you, I can't wait for you to die sooner! You'd better not wait until night to die, you'd better die right now!"

Ma Lan wailed: "Mom, the conflict between you and me is just that little bit of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law friction, and I have suffered your anger for over twenty years. Why do you want to force me to death now? Even if you are angry that I didn't let you live in the villa, there's no need to torture me to death, right?"

After finishing, she looked at the big sister of the cell, Zhang Guifen, and begged with tears and snot: "Sister Guifen, I know you hate unfilial daughters-in-law, but I didn't let her live in my villa, which was nothing more than drawing a clear line with this mother-in-law of mine!"

"I have been married to the Xiao family for over twenty years, and I have never hit her, nor have I ever really scolded her. I have even been bullied by her. It's only during this period that the Xiao family hasn't been doing well that I have been sarcastic and mocking towards her, but that was just a lack of respect with words, and that's all."

"But you have also seen how she has treated me these two days. She hits me, scolds me, and tries every possible way to torture me and bully me. This is simply wanting me to die!"

"As a reasonable person, can't you see who is the evil one between her and me?"

"If I were as evil as her, do you think she could still be alive now?"

"If I were as evil as her, how could she still be so healthy, and even be able to beat me up? This proves that I am not as evil as she says at all, and she is the real evil one!"

When she said this, Ma Lan was already in tears, and she looked just like Dou E who had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing that she dared to accuse her, Old Mrs. Xiao walked up to her angrily and slapped her in the face.

Immediately after, the old lady grabbed her hair and slammed it against the wall, cursing: "You stinking shameless thing, you actually dare to sow discord here. See if I don't beat you to death!"
