"I appeared during the first trial of this case, and I do have some reputation."

During the first trial, Zhang Tao naturally couldn’t have only reported on Xu Liang.

Yang Ruoxi, who had been following closely behind, was also reported on, and her current fame is now clearly different from before!

Upon hearing this, Wang Feiyu’s lips moved for a long time, and finally, his eyes became firm.

"Alright, then I’ll take charge of this case!"

"Hmm, if anyone from Blue Shield tries any dirty tricks... reach out to me, or it’s fine to call our teacher in Upper City."

Xu Liang nodded and advised.

"You drive to Jiang City and introduce yourself to Qi Tao, he will naturally know."

This time, Wang Feiyu didn’t hesitate. After getting tricked by Zhao Hailong once, he put aside his pride of not seeking external help and often consulted his teachers when he was unsure.

After speaking.

Wang Feiyu nodded, got into a car parked in the nearby parking lot, and then drove off.

In the blink of an eye, the car drove out of Tianshan Hospital and headed towards District Two of Jiang City, soon disappearing from sight.

Xu Liang withdrew his gaze and then focused on the entrance of the hospital.

A dozen people felt his gaze and instinctively took a step back, then lowered their heads.

Xu Liang paused and tried to make himself appear amiable, his eyes becoming gentler.

After adjusting, he finally stepped forward.

"Tap, tap..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He climbed the steps.

In no time, they met and stood together, less than two meters apart.

"Xu... Lawyer Xu?"

A timid woman tentatively addressed him.

Xu Liang nodded, "Yes, I’m Xu Liang from the Conscience Law Firm. The lawyer who communicated with you just now was my assistant, Wang Feiyu."

Upon hearing this, the people in front of him didn’t make any movements, but their excitement was visibly evident as they clenched their hands tightly.

Even though half of their faces were covered by masks, it was still very noticeable.

"Great... That’s great!"

Someone, overwhelmed with excitement, spoke out.

Xu Liang quickly interrupted their emotions and said:

"Which one of you is Ms. Feng Nan?"

This case involves Blue Shield and foreign companies. It’s not his home ground, and the judge’s discretionary power is quite nuanced. He doesn’t have time to engage in lengthy pleasantries with the other party!

"I-I’m Feng Nan!"

The initially speaking emaciated woman with sunken eyes shouted excitedly.

Upon seeing this, Xu Liang focused his gaze on her.

Feng Nan’s appearance... can be described as extremely poor!

She looked like a skeleton covered in skin, as if she was a mere breath away from death’s door.

Xu Liang’s eyes flickered, and he spoke: "Everyone, I will do everything in my power to accept your commission."

"But for now, I would like to have a word with Ms. Feng. Please give us a moment."

Hearing this, the surrounding people were not dissatisfied, but they hesitated to speak.

Until Feng Nan spoke.

"You should all leave first. A crowd can indeed affect the case; none of us want to be deprived of medicine, so I’ll stay back and contact you in the evening..."

Her words were reasonable and logical.

Although the others still had some reservations, they eventually left.

Soon, only Xu Liang and Feng Nan remained.

"These two are my secretary and assistant, Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu, respectively. You may address them as Lawyer Yang and Lawyer Su."

Xu Liang introduced them to the side to Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu.

Feng Nan nodded, indicating she understood.

Seeing this, Xu Liang hesitated slightly, looked her up and down, and asked:

"Ms. Feng, I wanted to ask about your health. Are you also...?"

Her appearance didn’t look like someone who had lost weight from exhaustion...

Feng Nan’s eyes darkened, then she forced a smile and said:

"Yes, I’m also sick, with the same leukemia."

"In about six months, my husband, son, and I were successively diagnosed."

After she finished speaking, Xu Liang didn’t know what to say. Leukemia, a disease that burns money, is tough enough for a family to cope with one case, let alone having an entire family of three...

Yang Ruoxi suddenly spoke:

"What about Mr. Li Ye..."

The three of them were diagnosed within half a year of each other.

But how did Li Ye die while Feng Nan remained alive?

"He..."

Feng Nan’s lips moved for a while, silent for a long time, before saying:

"After being diagnosed, my husband gave up treatment, leaving the money for me and our son."

"Later, when our son’s condition worsened, I stopped my treatment... I’m still alive because I had taken medicine in the past, so I’ve managed to hold on until now."

However...

Xu Liang frowned, looked around, and then whispered:

"The Imatinib that Mr. Li smuggled... he didn’t take any of it!?"

Although smuggled Imatinib was not affordable for frequent use, taking it occasionally to stabilize the condition was definitely viable!

Li Ye had only been diagnosed a few years ago; how did he die so quickly?

"He took it."

Feng Nan said, "Even though it was cheap, he took it!"

Took the medicine and still died!?

Xu Liang was stunned.

Now not just him, but both Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi were taken aback.

Su Yu couldn’t hold back and asked:

"I want to ask about your husband then..."

"Do you remember what happened during the time of his death?"

Feng Nan’s lips trembled; the memories were akin to blades churning in her heart.

But thinking of those still alive, she fell silent.

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"I remember; that day, both of us were at the hospital taking care of our son."

"Around two in the afternoon, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground."

"He was taken to the emergency room and was pronounced dead at three."

"By five, I saw my husband’s body lying on the morgue bed."

Pronounced dead at three; at five....

Hmm?

Four?

"Wait, do you mean that he was pronounced dead at three, and only two hours later did you see Li Ye’s body?"

Yang Ruoxi couldn’t hold back and abruptly asked.

Feng Nan thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I’m very clear about it."

"Were you waiting outside the operating room at that time?"

"Yes, after five... I stayed at the door until about five-thirty, and only then did I see the body," Feng Nan replied.

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang and the other two exchanged glances, puzzled.

Logically speaking,

from the time of pronouncement to when the body is brought out of the operating room, generally only takes half an hour, or at most, an hour.

Only if the family causes a scene would it take longer!

After all, operating rooms are in high demand, and there are other patients waiting to use them; it’s impractical to waste time on a corpse.

But Li Ye’s body... stayed in the operating room for several hours!?

What kind of situation is this...

This case... what is going on?

"Something’s odd," Su Yu murmured.

First, there’s the counterfeit drug causing deaths, but only the father and son died, and no side effects were identified in anyone else.

Then there’s Li Ye’s death and the timing of the body’s removal from the operating room...

Without exception, all this information screams ’strange’!

But...

"Where is Li Guang?"

Xu Liang collected all his thoughts, stored them in his mind.

He looked around and finally focused back on Feng Nan, asking again.

"I wanted to see your child’s body... is that possible?"

If he remembered correctly, as mentioned in Wang Feiyu’s call, Feng Nan, fearing the law firm wouldn’t believe her, brought her child’s body to Hanhai City.

Then... where’s the body!?

Upon hearing this, Feng Nan hurriedly said:

"In the mortuary."

"I took the body out under the pretense of doing an autopsy report."

Mortuary management’s strictness varies by hospital.

Being a private hospital, Tianshan Hospital wasn’t very strict at the time.

Nevertheless, the mortuary isn’t a place regular people or even thieves would venture into.

"Can we go in now?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked.

Feng Nan paused, thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, we just need to apply first..."

The mortuary is part of medical auxiliary places, typically off-limits to anyone other than medical staff.

But it is possible to apply; after all, bodies have families, and a final farewell is a minimum courtesy.

Most hospitals won’t be overly difficult about it.

"Let’s go see the body!"
