Chapter 341: Chapter 234: Lying Through One’s Teeth!

There, in front of the Blue Shield Law Firm, crowded a group of people wielding long and short cameras, all clustering around a middle-aged man.

These people were... reporters!

Local reporters from Qingshi City!

And the person they surrounded looked very familiar; he was... Chai Shiring!!!

The noisy voices kept ringing in his ears.

A reporter, holding a microphone, squeezed from the back to the front, thrusting the microphone in front of Chai Shiring and anxiously asked:

"Lawyer Chai, may I ask, how do you see the imatinib smuggling case in Qingshi City!?"

Upon hearing this.

Chai Shiring spoke gently:

"It wasn’t smuggled imatinib, but fake drugs!"

Saying this, Chai Shiring paused, then became serious.

"Journalist friends, it was not generic drugs that were smuggled by Li Ye, Wu Fang, and Kong Jian from Tianshan Hospital, but highly dangerous fake drugs!"

"According to testing by authoritative institutions, the impurity content in the fake drugs is more than ten times that of the genuine drugs!!!"

"Moreover, these people even sold each bottle of the drug for five thousand, it’s a blatant act of profiteering, and those deceived victims may have sold all their possessions just to scrape together five thousand!!!"

His words were powerful, standing tall, exuding a convincing aura.

Upon hearing this.

Some reporters below felt their blood boiling, and the noisy interview continued.

"Lawyer Chai! Do you have absolute confidence in winning this case!?"

"Lawyer Chai, Tianshan Hospital’s treatment is very expensive, if patients cannot afford the treatment, is it not reasonable to purchase smuggled generic drugs in such a situation?"

"Recently, a number of patients with suspected drug-related side effects have been found in Qingshi City, does Lawyer Chai have any connection to this case!?"

"..."

An endless barrage of tricky questions was hurled at Chai Shiring.

Chai Shiring smiled and selected a few questions to answer:

"Firstly, about the confidence in winning the case..."

"To be honest, no lawyer can confidently claim that a case will definitely be won before the trial starts!"

He took a deep breath, then suddenly changed the subject and said:

"However!"

"For the residents of Qingshi City to not be harmed by fake drugs, for the health of victims harmed by fake drugs."

"Further, to uphold genuine drugs, and promote the development of the domestic pharmaceutical industry!"

"Moreover, not to let Qingshi City have another Li Guang, who at just eight years of age, died prematurely without experiencing youth due to fake drugs..."

Chai Shiring’s tone was heavy, as if he felt the weight of a thousand pounds, he solemnly said:

"Blue Shield Law Firm will do its utmost!"

After speaking.

The reporters at the scene were already filled with burning passion, some even began composing their articles on the spot!

Sha Jin stood outside the crowd, not interrupting Chai Shiring’s performance.

As long as these reporters were present, the entire case’s public opinion could be tightly controlled by the law firm.

Righteousness would also be on their side!

Chai Shiring’s responses were indeed passionate. He seemed to represent justice, symbolized fairness, and was a figure against darkness!

And after this interview.

Sha Jin had no doubt that everyone in Qingshi City who read the newspaper would feel intense hatred towards Kong Jian, Wu Fang, and even their defense lawyer Xu Liang!

For a long time.

After about twenty minutes, this press conference finally concluded.

When all the reporters disappeared in front of the law firm...

Chai Shiring exhaled, restrained the gentle smile on his face, and showed a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Hehe, public opinion... tsk."

This trick he had used many times, and it was always invincible!

For Chai Shiring, manipulating public opinion was as simple as eating or drinking water.

As for whether manipulating public opinion would be discovered...

The clear-headed were ultimately just a minority!

Those fools, those newspaper readers, he just needed to fool them slightly for them to instantly become the sharpest sword in his hand against his opponents!

Even if these people were deceived once, they would still be deceived a second time!

"A bunch of brainless fools..."

Chai Shiring said disdainfully, a sense of superiority cloaking him, then he paused a bit, reining in the mockery in his eyes.

He turned to look at Sha Jin, who had been standing nearby for a long time.

"Lawyer Sha, how is the task going?"

Seeing this, Sha Jin stepped forward two steps and said:

"After communicating with Kong Jian and Wu Fang, the effects seem quite good, both are falling into hesitation."

Sha Jin laughed.

Upon hearing this, Chai Shiring laughed unscrupulously.

Since the other party wavered, then... the chances of getting this three million are high!!!

Three million, this is three million!

However...

Sha Jin paused, then suddenly said:

"Something unexpected happened."

Unexpected?

Chai Shiring paused, his brows knitted into a knot, "What unexpected thing!?"

Sha Jin didn’t hurry to speak, handing over the business card of Xu Liang from the briefcase to him.

Chai Shiring took it and glanced at it, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Xu Liang!?"

After speaking, he looked up at Sha Jin.

"This is his business card? Where did you get it!?"

Sha Jin said: "After questioning Kong Jian and Wu Fang, I left and saw him in the hall of the Qingshi City detention center."

Upon hearing this, Chai Shiring’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Cunning as he was, he immediately realized something.

"Did he take the Tianshan Hospital’s commission!?"

Waiting in the detention center hall, that means the client couldn’t communicate with others, and not long ago, Sha Jin was in the reception room...

Needless to say, it’s known that the other party is related to this case!

"Most likely, yes." Sha Jin said.

Upon hearing this, Chai Shiring furrowed his brows tightly.

"Didn’t he sign a commission with Qi Tao? Why would he appear in Qingshi City..."

"Even taking a case commission..."

He murmured, constantly pondering the answers to these questions.

But...

"Hehe, the road to heaven is wide open, but you choose hell without a door."

After a long time, Chai Shiring came back to his senses, a shadow flickered in his eyes.

Having the Qi Tao case snatched from him made him very annoyed, and now the two sides have run into each other again...

"I had planned to settle the Tianshan Hospital case first before dealing with you."

"But now you’ve walked right into the trap yourself... even handed over a business card."

Chai Shiring’s face showed a shadowy smile.

"Then don’t blame me!"

Came? If you came then don’t leave!

Just deal with everything, the timing, location, and harmony of people stand on his side in this case, in any event, he couldn’t possibly envision losing the case!

As for the other party’s explosive performance...

He had studied Xu Liang’s tactics, who was very good at throwing out some information for probing in the first trial, then after recess, delivering a heavy bomb!

A cunning tactic, completely not giving the opponent a half-minute’s respite, a slight negligence could be fatal!

But it doesn’t matter.

As long as he had the other party’s business card...

Thinking of this, Chai Shiring looked up, gazing at Sha Jin and said:

"Do I still need to remind you?"

Xu Liang once set up Liu Kun using a bank card, directly accusing him of bribery, which led to a thorough investigation by the court.

They, with righteousness on their side...

can also utilize business cards to do the same!

It’s just a pity that business cards are not as powerful, not as sharp as bank cards, but then again, with righteousness on their side, a business card is no different from a bank card!

Sha Jin licked his lips and smiled sinisterly.

"No need."

Upon hearing this.

Chai Shiring smiled, squinting his eyes.

The righteous cause is on their side, and Xu Liang is on the opposing side, so...

"Let the public opinion ferment for a while longer!"

There’s no need to guide public opinion to attack the opponent.

Others will naturally step in to attack on his behalf!

With the right time, place, and people, all three elements are in their favor, even the problematic information from the hospital is of no help to the case, Chai Shiring couldn’t think of...

how he could possibly lose!

Not to mention there’s only 11 days left until the trial, and what they need to do now is only...

"Wait for the first trial to start!"

...

...

In the detention center of Qingshi City.

"Mr. Kong, about that batch of smuggled drugs... are you sure that the batch just has a higher impurity content, but in reality, it doesn’t have those severe side effects?!"

In the reception room.

Xu Liang, who was contacting his client, looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him with a frown.

Kong Jian’s lips moved for a moment, then he said:

"Old Li is also taking this drug."

"Doesn’t he know if there are any side effects?!"

As he spoke, a look of sorrow appeared on his face.

Just now, Xu Liang had approached them, and after talking, he learned that the other party was his defense lawyer.

Only from the other party’s words, the case...

seems a bit pessimistic.

"But Li Guang is already dead!" Yang Ruoxi said with a frown.

Li Guang’s stomach spasms were strange, but Feng Nan insisted that Li Guang had not eaten anything unknown.

That can only mean that the stomach spasms... were most likely caused by the smuggled Imatinib!

"I..."

Kong Jian’s lips moved for a long time, then he fell silent, not responding.

Yes, Li Guang is dead, the child who was only eight years old is dead.

It is precisely because of this that Kong Jian suspected that there was indeed a problem with the drugs they smuggled!

But...

"More than seventy people are taking this drug!"

Wu Fang suddenly spoke, his tone incredibly firm, and said heavily:

"Only Li Guang had a problem, none of the others had any major side effects!"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang said nothing.

Yes, only Li Guang had a problem, none of the others had any sign of side effects...

Even the autopsy report didn’t detect any toxic substances in the drug composition; this drug... is consumable!

Xu Liang had already learned about the source of the drug from them.

It is indeed from Lizard Country, and although many drugs from there are problematic, the Imatinib is a new drug, and their attempt to open a channel used materials not quite at the level of ’fake drugs’.

If that’s the case...

"There’s nothing wrong with the smuggled drugs, but someone still died, and it was due to the drug’s effects." Su Yu murmured.

Li Guang... what exactly did he take!?

And who gave him this stuff, which caused the drug-related death?!

But now there’s no time to explain all this.

"No, there aren’t seventy people taking the drug!"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke, taking a deep breath, and stared sharply at the two in front of him.

Not... not seventy people?

Kong Jian and Wu Fang were stunned, unable to understand.

But Xu Liang continued:

"Wu Fang, Kong Jian, remember what I said."

"The three of you didn’t sell the smuggled drugs, similarly, at most, you only gave them to relatives!"

"You didn’t involve the drugs in any smuggling transactions, not even accepting a single penny!"

Upon hearing this.

The two men in front were even more stunned, hesitating as they responded:

"But... we got twenty boxes of drugs..."

"I said, it’s for you to consume!"

Xu Liang spoke sternly, as if stating a fact.

"If the judge asks you, just say these twenty boxes of drugs... were all for your own use!!!"

"Even if others took them, it has nothing to do with sales; it was stolen by them, or snatched, or swindled, but absolutely not purchased!!!"

For consumption...

Twenty boxes of drugs, all for your own use!? Eating medicine as meals?!

How could one possibly consume that much!!!

This is purely talking nonsense with eyes wide open!!!

Kong Jian and Wu Fang were dumbfounded, even Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu had several ’?’ pop up above their heads.

Can such words really be said to the judge!???

But Xu Liang didn’t have time to debate, he must secure some time for himself.

Immediately.

Xu Liang stood up, walked to a corner, and smoothly took out his phone to dial a number.

"Ring ring ring~"

The dialing sound echoed in his ear.

Soon, the call connected, and a familiar voice came through the speaker.

"Hello? What made you think of calling this old man of yours?"

The voice was somewhat aged, but very powerful.

The person was...

Wu Chengjun!

Xu Liang’s face instantly lit up with a smile.

"Oh, nothing, just missing you, sir."

...

In Upper City.

Having just finished a lecture, Wu Chengjun heard the voice coming through the phone and immediately felt something was amiss, he said in a deep voice:

"You only come to me when you have a reason!"

"Speak up, spill it if you have to!"

Upon his words.

Xu Liang immediately replied over the phone:

"Oh, it’s nothing, just... sir, I remember when you participated in legal amendments, wasn’t there a relatively special provision involved, this provision called..."

"’Emergency provisions!’"

Emergency provisions?

"It does exist, but..."

Wu Chengjun’s heart suddenly tightened, speaking in a solemn tone:

"Why are you asking me this!?"
