Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 222 This is blatant robbery!

After the verdict was announced.

Xu De didn't sit idle either. He quickly walked out of the defendant's seat and then took Gao Yu, who was handcuffed, away.

Then, the procedures for his discharge from the hospital began.

Inside the courthouse lobby.

Wu Xin and Wang Chao were sitting on public chairs, but their attitudes were somewhat different.

"Sigh, it's been half a day already, and I still don't know how the case is going..."

"Hey, Attorney Wu, don't worry, the worst that can happen is we lose the case."

Wang Chao casually said to Wu Xin:

"At worst, I'll lose the case, and then I'll contact Novartis directly."

Before the trial, Xu De and his side had already made arrangements.

A case either ends in victory or defeat. A victory is good, as it's equivalent to reaching an agreement with the other party. But a defeat...

Tianhe Pharmaceutical chose to fight Qinghe Pharmaceutical to the very end?

That won't do; Qinghe Pharmaceuticals can't compete with that.

So... we directly contacted Novartis International Pharmaceutical Group, their top enforcer, and asked them to send three of their top lawyers from the Red Circle to deal with Tianhe Pharmaceutical Company!

"Sigh, I..."

Wu Xin was speechless for a moment, and finally sighed.

"I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about the patients."

"Sigh, never mind, Attorney Wang, I can't reason with you."

He shook his head and said nothing more.

Although Wu Xin was only Gao Yu's agent, he also wanted to try to help the patients in the hospital to some extent.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Although he found an angle regarding veterinary drugs during the first trial, he still lost the case.

Now facing the final second trial...

Wu Xin couldn't help but be nervous.

He was filled with anxiety and even felt restless, so he simply stood up and paced back and forth around.

until......

"Da da da..."

A series of footsteps sounded, and the two looked up, only to see the voices of three people. Their eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother De!"

"Attorney Xu!"

The two quickly got up to greet him.

The three people who arrived were Xu Delin, Yue Gaoyu, and others.

"How's the case going?!" Wang Chao raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

Xu De rolled his eyes and pointed to Gao Yu beside him.

What do you think?

Wang Chao scratched his head, paused for a moment, and then chuckled.

Generally speaking, in criminal cases, there are only two situations in which defendants can accompany their lawyers.

First, not guilty; second, probation!

Wang Chao was used to it, but it was clear that not everyone followed Xu De in the very first case.

"Mr. Gao was given a suspended sentence!?" Wu Xin, standing to the side, looked astonished.

"Well, a three-year suspended sentence, all sales proceeds must be turned over, and some compensation will be paid. It's barely acceptable."

Xu De nodded.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin's eyes twitched, and he gasped.

Good grief... a three-year suspended sentence is barely acceptable...

To know.

Wu Xin's expectation for the second trial is that, if he is sentenced to only four years, Tianhe Pharmaceutical will provide eight million yuan in compensation. There is nothing else, and even the patients are not within the scope of what he feels he can obtain.

As a result, it's been over four years now... let alone four years.

As long as Gao Yu doesn't commit any more crimes, she won't have to be sentenced even for a single day!

"By the way, where's the medicine?"

Wu Xin seemed to remember something, then hesitated before asking, "How did the discussions go regarding the patient's medication?"

"Naturally...we'll source the goods from pharmaceutical companies," Xu De said.

Purchase goods from pharmaceutical companies...

A few words were uttered.

Everyone paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.

Suddenly, they heard a series of staggering footsteps behind them.

Hearing the noise, Xu De turned around to look.

Then, Sun Qiao and Zheng Tong slowly walked out of the passage he had come from.

It was obvious that the two had just finished their paperwork and were about to leave, but they made a commotion because they heard the sounds of them "buying goods." Zheng Tong looked timid and hesitant, while Sun Qiao...

That face is really dark!

But it doesn't matter, Xu De's greatest strength is his thick skin.

"Section Chief Sun."

Xu De warmly approached Sun Qiao, his smile faint but his tone very enthusiastic.

"When are we going to Tianhe Pharmaceutical Company?"

Sun Qiao: ?

"No, what do you mean, go to a pharmaceutical company?" Sun Qiao paused, recalling what he had just heard, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"You wouldn't be...?"

Xu Dedao said, "Of course, we will fulfill the verbal promise we just made!"

talking.

He paused, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully:

"Of course, Attorney Sun, you wouldn't want to deal with lawyers from Yanjing, would you? I heard that Novartis sent three lawyers with red circles on their lawyer lists..."

This is a threat.

This must be a threat!

Sun Qiao's originally dark face gradually flushed red. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Let's discuss this tomorrow. Drug management is very strict, and Tianhe Pharmaceutical needs to make preparations in advance tonight..."

Xu De waved his hand, his face full of disapproval.

"These medicines are meant to save lives."

"Attorney Sun, as you know, every day we delay taking the medication, those patients have to face an extra day of risk. I think there's no time like the present, let's do it today."

"If all else fails, then we'll have no choice but to seek help from Novartis."

Still threatening?

Why are they still threatening us even after we've reached an agreement?

Although such a situation of going back on one's word is not common under normal circumstances.

But the man in front of me was surnamed Xu and named De.

The other party's character... well, Sun Qiao trusts the other party's character a lot, of course, referring to the fact that the other party is capable of turning their back on him after the trial and turning to Novartis.

so......

Sun Qiao remained silent for a long time, but finally had no choice.

"Alright then."

The words were spoken.

Sun Qiao then left. Clearly, he had no intention of chatting with the other person anymore and just wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep.

Xu De didn't bring many people with him, only Wang Chao, and then hurriedly caught up.

......

Tianhe Pharmaceutical Company.

As the leading pharmaceutical company in Qingwu Province, they haven't felt any sense of crisis for a long time.

But in recent days, even the security guards have clearly felt that the entire pharmaceutical company's direction has changed.

The Ministry of Justice began working overtime frequently, and personnel from other regions continued to enter pharmaceutical companies to conduct investigations.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and stagnant, as if a dark cloud was brewing a storm over Tianhe Pharmaceutical Company, ready to fall at any moment.

However, in this situation...

"Squeak!"

A roller shutter door of a low-temperature warehouse was opened, and several managers led people inside.

"Wow, Brother Xu, there's a lot of medicine here!"

"Stop joking around, let's find the medication for treating chronic myeloid leukemia... Hmm, not much, just a few dozen or a hundred bottles will do."

"I understand, I understand."

"..."

The speaker was Xu Dewangchao, who had just come out of the courthouse.

At this moment, the two were in the medicine storage room of Tianhe Pharmaceutical Company.

This is a cold storage room, which looks somewhat like a cold storage room, but the temperature is not low. At this moment, the shelves are filled with various medicines produced in the workshop.

"Tsk, how many days would it take to eat this..."

Looking at the dazzling array of boxes in front of him, stacks upon stacks of them, Wang Chao clicked his tongue in amazement.

The storage room was divided into several areas.

Each area contains thousands of boxes of different medicines, and each box is filled with nearly a hundred bottles of medicine.

Each bottle of medicine contains nearly 100 tablets.

One of those pieces would be enough to sustain the people in the hospital for a day...

"Find the target drug first."

Xu De said something, and then the two of them began to collect the items.

The managers on one side and Sun Qiao looked hesitant, but ultimately said nothing and let things take their course.

Sun Qiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the pharmaceutical company in the distance, where the legal department's office was located.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao..." he murmured.

Just now.

When he called the pharmaceutical company to say that Xu De was coming to pick up the medicine, he couldn't get through to Zhao Gang by phone no matter what he tried.

When contacting the legal department, he was told that the position of general counsel was vacant and that the deputy general counsel would handle the communication. After learning the purpose of the visit, the other party directly asked Xu De to get the medicine. Judging from the tone, it was clear that there was something more urgent.

What Sun Qiao was concerned about was that Zhao Gang... was most likely being used as a scapegoat by the company.

"Tsk, Mr. Zhao is really muddle-headed."

"The infringement research conducted by the R&D department was clearly authorized by the board of directors. Keeping the legal department in the dark is just an attempt to make them take the blame..."

"You keep trying to shift the blame..."

Sun Qiao murmured, a look of emotion on her face.

it's good now.

He gambled away his position as director.

With such a large vacancy in the pharmaceutical company, and everyone busy with internal strife and having no time to manage the business, two rats slipped in. Heaven knows what those two rats will eat.

Thinking of this.

Sun Qiao glanced at Xu De and Wang Chao beside her, who were constantly getting medicine, and heard their voices in her ears.

"Hey, this, this is for treating leukemia, I'll take some more of this!"

Wang Chao picked up a bottle of medicine from the shelf, and his eyes lit up after seeing its effects.

Xu De glanced at him and slapped him on the butt without hesitation.

"Idiot, this is Maryland, a cheap drug!"

"Even Qinghe Pharmaceutical Factory can produce it, and it only costs a dozen yuan a bottle!"

"What are you carrying?"

As he spoke, Xu De frowned and looked at the several bottles of 'sample medicine' that the other party had taken down and had the managers pack after selecting them.

He casually flipped through it, and then couldn't help but say:

"Busulfan tablets, retinoic acid, vincristine... Oh dear, why do you keep buying these cheap medicines? A vial of vincristine only costs a few dollars!"

Xu De was somewhat disappointed in his son.

Wang Chao was a little unconvinced, "These are all helpful for leukemia..."

"fool!"

Xu De still gave a snort. He glanced around and finally stopped at a bottle of medicine, then reached out and took a sample.

"Take this if you're going to take it."

"This is indigo methylisocyanate; one bottle costs over a thousand!"

"And then there's interferon-alpha, which is a standard second-line targeted injectable drug for chronic myeloid leukemia, costing over ten thousand yuan a month!"

"Why do you always pick cheap items..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao's initial dissatisfaction turned into surprise, and he looked at the medicine in the other person's hand with a smile in his eyes.

really.

People still need to be cultured.

Those who lack education only take cheap medicine; those who are knowledgeable can directly take advantage of the situation!

"Okay, okay, I'll take this one, I'll take this one..."

Wang Chao was pleasantly surprised and took several more sample medicines.

The warehouse managers looked at the two men with expressions of utter shock.

This...this is like a mouse falling into a rice jar!

Is this about picking out medicine? What does "what's expensive, take that" mean?

This is robbery! This is definitely robbery!

Do their own pharmaceutical companies even know what kind of stuff has sneaked into their drug storage warehouses...?

The manager looked at Sun Qiao.

But Sun Qiao acted as if he hadn't seen it at all.

Anyway, these things aren't his, and he's not the one who loses money.

About an hour later, the two finished, and Wang Chao looked completely satisfied.

......

......

at the same time.

Inside the First People's Hospital in Wutong City, Qingwu Province.

"One day...two days...three days..."

A woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding some medicine in her palm, her expression blank, her lips murmuring.

On the bed lay a girl, about seven or eight years old, with baldness and a sickly pale face. She was asleep, breathing steadily.

If I remember correctly.

A few days ago.

When Sun Qiao and legal personnel brought the police to seize the drugs, she was the first person they met.

She knocked over all the medicine bottles, forcing the medicine to spill onto the ground, racking her brains to save only a few pills... but even so... only "a few" pills were left.

Under normal circumstances, it should only be consumed for a maximum of six days.

If you eat sparingly, it can last for half a month.

But now...

"Four pills...four pills..."

The woman murmured, holding four pills clearly in her palm, but she counted them several times.

In a daze.

An unprecedented sense of fear once again gripped her mind.

Four pills... Take them sparingly, one pill a day, and you can only take them for four days.

Four pills, four days' worth of medication, then you have to stop taking the medication after four days...

Leukemia is one of the most horrific types of cancer.

Unlike pancreatic cancer, which is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and only allows for five or six months of survival, leading to a rapid death.

Leukemia is treatable, but it's expensive; it burns through your life resources every minute!

If you have money, you can control the illness; but once you stop taking medication and run out of money... the speed at which the condition worsens will far exceed your imagination!

"Four pieces...only four pieces left..."

The woman murmured.

She suddenly crouched down again, ignoring the strange looks from those around her, like a hyena, searching everywhere under the bed for something.

She wanted to look under the bed to see if there were any leftover medications.

What if? What if there's another one?

What if I can live for another day?

But a pity.

This wasn't the first time she'd drilled through it, nor was it the first time she'd searched. The floor was worn smooth by her, making it impossible to find any residual medication.

"That's all."

She collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, like a fish that had just come ashore.

The woman's expression was blank and dazed, a sense of despair enveloping her, making it hard to breathe. She didn't cry, she just sat there blankly, looking at the child on the bed, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside her.

This is a natural physiological phenomenon. Clearly, she was at a loss, her emotions and consciousness overwhelmed by fear, and she couldn't even think straight.

Just as she fell silent and dazed.

In a daze...

"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang, come here for a moment."

A voice suddenly rang out quietly.

Sister Zhang was still in a daze when the person who called out walked up behind her and shook her body hard.

Sister Zhang then came to her senses and looked at the other person in a daze.

"Attorney Wu...it's you."

Sister Zhang said, her mind blank.

Wu Xin looked around at the other patients in the hospital beds, paused, and said softly:

"Sister Zhang, come with me for a moment."

As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Immediately, he grabbed Sister Zhang and led her outside. Along the way, Sister Zhang did not resist. She was like a weed being trampled by the wind, being led forward by him.

Not long after.

Ms. Zhang was taken to a hospital room.

She realized that she knew everyone in the ward, or rather... everyone here was just like her!

They wore masks, their figures were blurred, their expressions were blank, and they were unusually silent, like statues.

Apart from that.

There were also a few people I wasn't very familiar with, people I'd met a few times, and people I knew were doing it for my own good... I think one of them was Gao Yu's lawyer.

"First of all, I have called you all here for two reasons."

"The first thing... is to return the crowdfunding commission fee."

Wu Xin slowly opened his mouth, took out some money from his pocket, and then took out a list, returning the money according to the list.

After the case was exposed.

Patients like Li Jiahe pooled all their money so that Gao Yu could be released and they could continue to take some veterinary medicine to prolong their lives.

The amount wasn't much, just over ten thousand yuan in total. Wu Xin and Xu De didn't take it; instead, they asked Gao Yu to reimburse them.

"Brother Li, here's yours, 1232.2 yuan."

"Sister Sun, here's yours, six hundred and thirty-one..."

"Sister Zhang, here's your 734."

"..."

Wu Xin sent the messages one by one, and everyone remained silent as they received them.

Looking at the few scattered banknotes in her hand, Sister Zhang felt somewhat dazed, and subconsciously tried to replace them in her mind.

Change to a one-day dose of medication.

No, 700 yuan isn't even enough for one day's worth of medication. Imatinib costs 24,000 yuan a bottle, so you should need at least 800 yuan worth of medication a day!

Seven hundred yuan...

Including this 700 yuan, her entire net worth is only 1,000 yuan.

Zhang Jie's face showed an expression even more unsightly than crying. She clutched the money, not knowing what to think.

until......

"Then, the second thing..."

talking.

Wu Xin paused for a moment, then walked over to Xu De and opened a backpack.

"Sizzle!"

The zipper was unzipped, and several white medicine bottles appeared in front of me.

In an instant, everyone present had their pupils constrict.

Xu De said slowly:

"Distribute the medicine!"
