Chapter 343: Chapter 236: Something Happened!

After leaving the detention center.

Time has already reached seven thirty in the evening, and the sky is pitch black with faint starlight scattered throughout.

The development of Qingshi City is much better than that of Hanhai City, and the better the development, the more vibrant the nightlife often is.

The nightlife in Qingshi City is quite impressive, with food streets, malls, and various entertainment venues like bars.

However, Xu Liang and the other two would not waste their time on these things.

"Let’s just grab a quick bite first."

In the night market.

At the barbecue table, Xu Liang found a stall with a decent crowd and sat down.

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu weren’t pretentious either; the two girls sat down directly, attracting quite a few glances from people who would often turn and look their way, only to quickly avert their gazes once caught.

They were long accustomed to this, not bothering to pay attention to the surrounding people.

But...

"What’s going on with you two?"

Xu Liang glanced left and right, finally raising an eyebrow with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Sitting face to face, Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi acted as if they couldn’t see each other since leaving the case, still treating one another like air!

While neither dragged the other down when handling business, but...

During downtime, it always felt a bit odd.

"What are you talking about?"

Su Yu smiled slightly, then used her long skirt to cover her legs, concealing the exposed fair skin, looking quite like a good wife and mother.

Yang Ruoxi simply gave up, saying, "I can’t argue with her!"

She already realized her lack of eloquence, so she chose not to bother with her!

"Are you two really on bad terms? I think, actually, small disagreements are nothing, you both should try to understand each other."

Xu Liang was still trying to mediate.

"It’s been several months... You can’t possibly ignore each other for a lifetime, right?"

But after he spoke, it was as if the two hadn’t heard a thing, remaining completely unresponsive.

Seeing this, Xu Liang was also helpless.

Until...

The waiter approached with their smiley-faced grilled order.

"Careful, it’s hot!"

Hearing this, Xu Liang quickly took advantage of the moment, eating and changing the subject.

"What do you think about this case?"

They had been following Xu Liang’s train of thought all day, and now during the rare free time, he wanted to hear others’ opinions.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu paused, then spoke in unison:

"There are issues with Feng Nan’s family of three being ill!"

They spoke together, then paused, looked at each other, and then simultaneously turned their heads away, ignoring each other again.

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow, smiling and saying:

"Where’s the problem?"

"Xiaoyang, you go first."

Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment, then spoke: "Three people consecutively falling ill within six months, and all with the same illness....."

"The probability is quite low, and I think it’s less a coincidence... more of being man-made!"

Hearing this, Xu Liang nodded, showing admiration on his face.

"Good, using your brains, making progress!"

The probability for Feng Nan is incredibly small.

First, leukemia comes in types, and needing Imatinib for leukemia is already quite a rare form of leukemia.

The probability for both a couple to have it is minimal.

Let alone... adding a son and they all got sick within six months!

"And you, Xiaoyu?"

Xu Liang turned to look at Su Yu.

Su Yu sat up straight, tucked her hair behind her ear, and spoke softly:

"I think so too, and... I suspect it may be caused by man-made factors."

As she spoke, she continued:

"Although leukemia has hereditary probabilities, there’s no reason for it to precisely result in three people being tested consecutively within six months!"

"Moreover, this is just testing, not the so-called time of illness... Do you understand my point?"

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi nodded.

It’s quite understandable.

What Feng Nan’s family describes as ever since being tested consecutively within six months refers to the symptom appearing in their bodies, causing discomfort, followed by discovering it during check-ups.

It’s not the time they contracted the disease!

It’s like you and your friend catching colds at the same time, but the cold’s effect on different physiques means your friend might realize they’re sick three days after you.

Can you say your friend fell ill three days later!?

So...

"It’s highly likely, the three of them got ill at the same time!"

Su Yu spoke seriously, her delicate brows furrowed, eyes full of seriousness.

"And the time difference is definitely much less than half a year!"

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi nodded.

This guess is very possible, or rather, Xu Liang immediately thought of another thing.

"Feng Nan’s son, Li Guang’s sudden stomach spasm."

Xu Liang suddenly raised.

The two women were shocked, instantly understood, and exclaimed:

"Stomach spasm related to illness!?"

"It’s hard to say, but the unexplained illness and sudden stomach spasm death are bizarre."

Xu Liang shook his head, saying as the hesitation in his eyes gradually disappeared, turning serious.

"That aspect is too suspicious!"

If so...

The leukemia of the three is related to Li Guang’s stomach spasm or the cause triggering their illness may also lead to stomach spasms!

What is this nonsense?

Xu Liang paused, his mind conjuring Qingshi City Tianshan Hospital.

Drawing blood in secret until people died, and even tampering with Li Ye’s corpse...

Even after Li Ye died, the hospital took everyone to court!

The previous guess was.

The pharmaceutical company holds the agency rights, selling monopolized profitable drugs, but Li Ye’s smuggling infringed their interests, so Superstar Pharmaceutical urged the hospital to defend its rights...

But now...

"There’s a bit of a problem."

Xu Liang furrowed his brow and murmured.

The three instinctively started pondering, eating expressionlessly without speaking for a long time.

Until...

"Doo doo doo~!"

A phone ringtone sounded, breaking their thoughts. Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu instinctively gathered their gaze on Xu Liang.

Xu Liang snapped back to reality and instinctively pulled out his phone.

He thought it was a callback from Wu Chengjun, but the caller ID showed: [Feng Nan!]

This is... the client!?

Why is the other party calling him at this time?

Xu Liang paused, frowned, and pressed the button.

"Hello?"

The next second, Feng Nan’s urgent and suppressed angry voice came through the phone.

"Something happened!"

Something... happened!?

Xu Liang was stunned, and after hearing the explanation from the other end, his brows immediately furrowed, and his expression became serious.

Before long.

He hung up the phone.

The two people next to him immediately asked:

"What’s happened? Why do you look so bad!?"

Xu Liang’s lips moved slightly, he looked at the two, and suddenly stood up.

"Back to the hospital!"

...

...

Something happened at the hospital.

More accurately... something happened to the Mutual Aid Association headed by Feng Nan!

PM.

At this time, Xu Liang should have been heading towards the hotel, but... he was now rushing towards Tianshan Hospital.

Following the address given by Feng Nan, he quickly went up to the fifth floor of the inpatient building, pushed open one of the doors, and immediately saw over a dozen people.

The crowd instinctively looked towards the newcomer, only to see that Xu Liang hadn’t even had time to put on his coat.

"What’s going on!?"

He gasped for breath, his eyes sharp as he scanned every person in the room.

Upon hearing this.

Feng Nan’s lips moved slightly, and after a long pause, she stepped forward two steps and said in a muffled voice:

"The plaintiff’s side... a lawyer privately contacted patients from the Mutual Aid Association."

"I don’t know when they were contacted, but... when someone in the association reported it, it seemed they had already contacted several."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi slightly understood what the other party meant.

Which means...

Sha Jin privately contacted other patients!

Xu Liang didn’t know how many people were contacted, nor did he know what exactly was said.

It wasn’t until one of the contacted individuals reported to Feng Nan...

That the matter was exposed, and then passed on to Xu Liang!

The person who reported might be the last one to be contacted.

But definitely not the first!

Does that mean the former people reached an agreement with Sha Jin?

In an instant, the expressions of the three of them turned somewhat grim.

Yang Ruoxi gritted her teeth and said:

"Who leaked the personal information!?"

For Sha Jin to accurately find people from the Mutual Aid Association, she didn’t think he would search every ward.

The only explanation is... someone gave him the information!

Who gave it?

The hospital? Or... someone from the Mutual Aid Association!?

The former can still be explained, after all, the other party is fighting on home ground, and with the client being from the hospital side, it’s easy to get hold of a batch of information, but if it’s the latter....

"Could there be a traitor?"

Feng Nan suddenly whispered.

In an instant, more than a dozen people in the ward looked at each other, faces full of bewilderment, and their eyes filled with vigilance.

Xu Liang frowned and rubbed his brow, finding the situation very tricky.

"It’s possible."

Wu Fang and Kong Jian had already revealed to Xu Liang what Sha Jin had said to them in the reception room.

Free medical treatment!

What do these four words mean?

It’s a chance to survive!

The reason Feng Nan approached Xu Liang, and the reason dozens of people scraped together a commission fee of half a million was for survival, wasn’t it!?

If Sha Jin promised free medical treatment to certain people, offering them a chance to treat themselves or their families in exchange for betrayal, then....

Someone would definitely be tempted!

But if they agreed, even if only one out of the 72 people agreed, the remaining 71...

In an instant.

The eyes of more than a dozen people in the ward turned red, extreme emotions surged into their minds, and their expressions became tense.

"Get him out!"

"Bastard, if you’re a man, stand up!!?"

"Check the surveillance, the hospital has surveillance cameras!"

"It might not have happened in the hospital, it could be outside the hospital, talked privately..."

"Traitor!!!"

The noise and clamor hinted at an impending explosion, driven by anger, everyone stared intently at people around them.

They sold all their possessions, pooled together half a million in exchange for a chance to survive...

Yet, there might be a traitor among them!

Sacrificing others to get a chance to live, while they are the ones being sacrificed...

In an instant, everyone’s face darkened, and their fists clenched tightly.

Until...

"It’s not a big problem."

Xu Liang suddenly spoke, calming the people around him.

This is, after all, the home ground of the Blue Shield Law Firm.

Turning one’s back on the defense lawyer and privately contacting the other party’s clients... the other party has no measures for this.

However, fortunately, it’s not a serious problem, Xu Liang can handle it!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s lips moved slightly for a while, but they ultimately chose to trust Xu Liang and fell silent.

But still, those pairs of gloomy eyes continued to scrutinize their surroundings, filled with caution.

Xu Liang gestured, signaling Feng Nan to come closer to him.

The two moved to a corner, and after a moment’s thought, Xu Liang began to speak:

"Ms. Feng, I want to ask you, what impression do you have of Superstar Pharmaceutical Group?"

Superstar Pharmaceutical Group?

Feng Nan paused, thought for a moment, and then gave an answer.

"If we’re not talking about this case..."

"It’s a very good group!"

A very good group?

Xu Liang squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
