Ma Lan's cold voice made Chloe and Jessica turn pale with fright.
In the past few days, their lives have been like hell.
What the two of them had done to Ma Lan before, combined with Ma Lan's unyielding character, destined them both to have no good ending.
And Ma Lan also started beating and torturing the two of them, and gradually turned into the ultimate humiliation and enslavement of the two of them.
Depriving them of food, finding them all kinds of hard work, and watching them work like they were imprisoned by American farmers back then, without being able to breathe for a moment, was Ma Lan's favorite thing to do.
For example, when the weather is hot, Ma Lan likes to go barefoot in the cell, so the two of them must take turns mopping the floor at least five times a day. If the soles of her feet are dirty after walking in the cell for a day, then the two of them will not be able to sleep that night.
, when others are sleeping, they have to kneel on the ground and mop the floor all night long.
At the moment, Ma Lan asked the two of them to wash their dirty clothes, but they did not dare to show any disobedience and could only accept it silently with tears in their eyes.
Seeing the two of them starting to collect the sheets and quilts that everyone had replaced, Ma Lan sneered with satisfaction, then stood up and greeted the people around him: "Let's go, let's go eat!"
Others quickly followed Ma Lan and surrounded her out of the cell.
Along the way, no matter who they met, no matter their identity, age, or skin color, they would almost always respectfully greet Ma Lan with "Hello, Sister Lan" in Chinese.
This feeling of being responded to by a hundred people made Ma Lan extremely satisfied and swollen, making her whole person feel a little elated.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the people who were queuing up for food immediately moved aside consciously. The woman who was first in line immediately said with respect: "Sister Lan, please go first!"
Ma Lan hummed, stepped forward, looked at one of the staff members, and asked, "Are the tomato and egg braised vegetables I want ready?"
The staff member immediately nodded and said, "Sister Lan, you're ready."
As she spoke, she took out a thermos box from under the dining table, which was filled with Chinese-style tomatoes and scrambled eggs.
Ma Lan nodded with satisfaction. This was what she had specially asked the prison guards to arrange for her. Eating the Western-style meals provided by the prison every day really made her feel a little bored. In addition, Americans eat a lot of meat, sugar, and oil.
So much so that she now misses light and simple Chinese food like tomato and egg noodles.
Ma Lan winked at a female prisoner next to her. The other prisoner immediately understood and quickly stepped forward to take the incubator. Then she asked Ma Lan: "Sister Lan, what else do you want to eat?"
Ma Lan said calmly: "If you have anything, prepare a copy and bring it over."
"Okay!" The female prisoner nodded very respectfully, and then, together with another prisoner, put all kinds of food on the dinner plate, and followed Ma Lan to Ma Lan's royal dining table.
This dining table is located near the window, with the best view and the most comfortable view. Ever since Ma Lan became a ghost in Bedford Hills Correctional Institution, she has made a rule that from now on, this table can only be used by her.
Originally, prisoners would have quarrels and even conflicts almost every day over 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 has three extremely capable followers around her, but more importantly, everyone from the prison guards to the warden must give her face. It can be said that Ma Lan is in black and white at Bedford Hills Correctional Institution.
Take it all.
Ma Lan came to her favorite dining table and sat down. The attendants on both sides quickly placed the plates and lunch boxes in front of her. A staff member also quickly brought over a glass of iced Coke and said respectfully: "Sister Lan
, this is sugar-free Coke, you can drink it without worrying about blood sugar problems."
Ma Lan hummed with satisfaction, took the Coke and took a sip. She immediately felt a refreshing feeling of comfort in this hot summer.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It's strange for this person. He never wants to drink Coke when he sees it outside, but here, he can be so satisfied with a sip of iced Coke."
Just as she was thinking happily, the Chinese female prison guard from before hurriedly ran to her dining table and said with joy: "Sister Lan, Sister Lan! There is good news, Sister Lan!"
Seeing the excitement on her face, Ma Lan's heart suddenly thumped, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "What's the 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 suddenly froze, and she exclaimed: "Is it that James White? What is he doing here?!"
The female prison guard said excitedly: "He came to meet you. He said he had great news to convey to you in person."
Ma Lan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Could it be...did he clear my suspicion?!"
The female prison guard said without thinking: "It should be, otherwise how could it be such great news?! Sister Lan, congratulations to you. You will be cleared of suspicion and free soon!"
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 still worry about being a ghost in Bedford Hill?"
Seeing that Ma Lan was a little distracted, the female prison guard couldn't help but remind her: "Sister Lan, the lawyer is waiting in the interview room now. Do you want to go there first?"
After saying that, she hurriedly said: "Sister Lan, why don't you eat first? It's the same as going over after eating. Just let the lawyer wait in the interview room for a while."
Ma Lan always felt a little uneasy in her heart. What was going on, she had to meet James White first to know.
So, she stood up and said: "Take me to see him first, otherwise I really won't be able to eat this meal!"
With that said, Ma Lan followed the female prison guard to the interview room of the correctional facility.
At this time, New York's most famous criminal lawyer, James White, was already waiting here.
Seeing Ma Lan come in, he immediately stood up and said in Chinese with great respect: "Hello, Ms. Ma, we meet again."
Ma Lan nodded absently, and then asked him: "What did you come to see 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 and asked, "Are you talking about Zong Qiuhua?"
James White explained: "The woman's real name is not Zong Qiuhua, her name is..."
Ma Lan waved her hand impatiently, interrupted him, and said, "I don't care what her name is, I just want to know what the current status of this matter is."
James White thought that Ma Lan couldn't wait to get out, so he said excitedly: "According to feedback from my informants in the New York Police Department, the woman has confessed to the police what she did. The police can now basically tell her what she did.
It is confirmed that you are innocent. However, the police still need to go through some more legal procedures. Once the procedures are completed, they will issue a certificate proving that you really know nothing about all this, and then issue a document to Bedford.
Tokuyama Correctional Institution, then you will be free."
When Ma Lan heard this, he quickly asked: "Then when will they let me out?"
James White looked at the time and replied: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult today, but it will definitely be fine tomorrow!"
"Ah?!" Ma Lan blurted out with a disappointed look on her face: "Then what...can't we let them wait for a few more days?"
