Chapter 980: Schadenfreude

At this very moment, Ma Lan's situation was also very tragic.

She was first sent to the best orthopedics hospital in Jin Ling by Master Hong Wu's men, and then experts were urgently arranged to perform joint surgery on her knee.

In fact, for an injury like hers, the best way is to undergo surgery in the shortest possible time, fix the knee with steel plates and nails, and then wrap it in a plaster cast for protection.

This way, the best recovery effect can be achieved.

After the surgery, when she returned to the ward, Master Hong Wu's men were already waiting for her.

The subordinate said to Ma Lan, "Ms. Ma, you have made a great contribution in arresting Li Cuihua this time, so all your treatment expenses will be covered by our Interpol."

Ma Lan looked at her right leg, which had been put in a plaster cast again, and shed tears in discomfort, choking, "Interpol comrade, you must not let that Li Cuihua go no matter what!"

The man nodded and said seriously, "Ms. Ma, please rest assured, we will definitely bring her to justice!"

As he spoke, he reminded her, "By the way, Ms. Ma, for your personal safety, there is one more thing I have to remind you."

When Ma Lan heard that it concerned her personal safety, she hurriedly said, "Please speak!"

The man said seriously, "Li Cuihua is a transnational fraudster. Behind her is a massive fraud syndicate spanning dozens of countries. Although we have arrested Li Cuihua this time, many of her accomplices have not yet been caught, so you must not tell anyone about this. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be retaliated against by this fraud syndicate!"

When Ma Lan heard this, she burst into tears!

"Oh my god, is this never-ending? Last time it was because of this that I was put into the detention center, suffered so much, and my leg was broken..."

"Now my leg is just healed, and I haven't had a chance to jump around for two days, and it's broken again because of this. You say they will come to retaliate against me next time, so what should I do in the future... Why is my life so bitter..."

The man hurriedly comforted her, "Ms. Ma, please don't get excited. This time is still different from the last time."

Ma Lan cried and asked, "What's the difference? Haven't you still not caught them all? As long as there is one accomplice left outside, they might come to retaliate against me! And this time I got their boss Li Cuihua arrested, they won't let me go even more! Before, they broke my leg, maybe next time they will take my life!"

The man explained, "It's like this, Ms. Ma. We are still very cautious. The matter of arresting Li Cuihua has not leaked any news to the outside world. As long as we don't leak it, and you don't leak it, no one will associate this matter with you."

Ma Lan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "But look at my miserable state now. My leg is broken, my face is swollen into a pig's head, and a chunk of my hair was pulled out by Li Cuihua. How do I explain this to my family?"

The man hurriedly said, "Actually, this matter is easy to explain. How did you explain it to your family when you were in the detention center last time?"

Ma Lan said, "I told them at the time that I was deceived into a pyramid scheme organization and then arrested as a pyramid scheme member..."

The man nodded and said, "This time you just tell your family that a few members of the pyramid scheme organization deliberately designed to retaliate against you, so they beat you into this state. I think they should believe it."

Ma Lan sighed, "Sigh, now that things have come to this, this is the only way..."

The man took out Ma Lan's phone and handed it to her, saying, "Ms. Ma, you can contact your family. To avoid suspicion, I'll go first."

Ma Lan nodded, looked at the man with some panic, and urged, "Interpol comrade, please be sure to keep today's matter strictly confidential. Don't let Li Cuihua's accomplices know that I was the one who got her arrested, otherwise my life will definitely be gone. Please..."

The man said seriously, "Please rest assured, we will keep it strictly confidential!"

With that, the man said, "Ms. Ma, please recuperate well, I'll go first."

After the man left, Ma Lan picked up her phone and hurriedly called Xiao Churan.

As soon as the call connected, she cried, "Churan, my good daughter! Come to the hospital and see Mom! Mom's leg is broken again... Why is Mom's life so bitter..."

Xiao Churan was preparing to get off work. Upon hearing this, she was shocked and blurted out, "Mom, what's wrong with you?! How did your leg break again?!"

Ma Lan cried, "Don't mention it. Mom was retaliated against by people from the pyramid scheme organization. They caught me and beat me up... My hair was pulled out, and my leg was broken..."

"Ah?!" Xiao Churan hurriedly asked, "Did you call the police?"

Ma Lan said while crying, "I did. The police officers have already arrested them. Come and see Mom!"

Xiao Churan asked, "Which hospital are you in? I'm coming over now!"

Ma Lan choked, "I'm at the Jin Ling Orthopedic Hospital. Come quickly..."

Xiao Churan blurted out, "Okay, Mom, wait a moment, I'm coming!"

Xiao Churan hung up Ma Lan's phone and, while driving to the hospital, hurriedly called Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had already returned home and was watching TV in the living room as if nothing had happened.

His father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, had also returned and was preparing to brew a pot of tea to drink with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen received Xiao Churan's call and already knew what was going on, but he pretended not to know and asked, "Wife, are you off work?"

Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "Husband, where are you?"

Ye Chen said casually, "I'm at home."

Xiao Churan asked again, "Where's Dad?"

Ye Chen said, "Dad is also at home, just got back."

Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "Then you and Dad hurry and drive to the Orthopedic Hospital! Mom is in the hospital! I'm driving there now, let's meet at the hospital!"

Ye Chen asked with feigned surprise, "What? Mom is in the hospital again? What happened?"

Xiao Churan said with some sobbing, "Mom was retaliated against by people from the pyramid scheme organization. They broke her leg, but I don't know the specifics, so I have to hurry over!"

Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Okay! Then Dad and I will leave now and hurry over!"

"Okay, see you at the hospital!"

Xiao Changkun was preparing to brew tea. Hearing this, he asked in surprise, "Ye Chen, what happened?"

Ye Chen said, "Mom was retaliated against by people from the pyramid scheme organization, her leg is broken, and she's in the hospital. Churan wants us to hurry over!"

Xiao Changkun asked with joy, "Ma Lan's leg is broken again?! Are you telling the truth?!"

Ye Chen said awkwardly, "Dad, why do I get the feeling you're actually quite happy..."

Xiao Changkun said seriously, "Ye Chen, logically speaking, I really shouldn't be schadenfreude, but when I think of Ma Lan with a plaster cast on her leg and crutches, I inexplicably want to laugh... Is it unkind to say that? Hahaha..."

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, "You know it's unkind, so don't laugh when you see Mom later."

Xiao Changkun nodded, "Don't worry, I can hold it in."

After speaking, he hurriedly put down the tea set and urged, "Good son-in-law, let's set off quickly. I can't wait to see how miserable she is now!" ===== CHAPTER 981 =====
