Who Made Him a Lawyer? Chapter 387 - 274: Medical Examination! Busulfan!

What exactly did you do...

At this mont, Han Chengguang’s forehead was dotted with a bit of cold sweat, his breathing was sowhat rapid, and he stared directly at Xu Liang, clearly lost in thought.

It wasn’t until he heard Chai Shiring’s voice that he snapped out of his daze, montarily flustered, then forcefully composed himself, pretending to be calm and said:

"What else could I have done!?"

This was a rhetorical question, but it was clear he was trying to shirk responsibility.

"President Han... this will be the last ti I call you President Han."

Chai Shiring gritted his teeth; by this point, he was one hundred percent certain that Xu Liang must have grasped part of the pharmaceutical company’s clues, which is why he said such words in court!

He clenched his fists, his teeth grinding audibly as he forced out a few words through clenched teeth.

"If you keep things hidden... we’re going down together!"

Han Chengguang’s features were tense, yet he remained stubbornly silent.

Seeing this, Chai Shiring was completely at a loss; he could only take a deep breath, place his heart back in his chest, and look heavily at Xu Liang.

At this mont, the voice about Xu Liang once again echoed in his ears.

...

"As everyone knows, leukemia generally undergoes three pathways of pathogenesis: one is genetic inheritance, the second is gene mutation, and the third is external factors."

"In the case of the first, our client’s family does not have any leukemia-related defects in their genes. Gene mutation is also too coincidental, with a probability infinitely close to zero!"

"That leaves the third party!"

As he spoke, Xu Liang paused for a mont...

The third party is external factors.

For example, the external factors of AIDS infection: most people may instinctively think of so vengeful AIDS patients deliberately infecting others.

In fact, there are many avenues.

For example, the blood sold by an AIDS patient, known as ’contaminated blood’, is transferred from the black market to the hospital and eventually transfused into your body.

In the end, this causes you to contract AIDS yourself!

This is an external factor, an accidental infection, but Li Guang’s external factor is not related to blood transfusion...

"A family of three, infected one after another in six months with the sa disease, this is very suspicious."

"Thus, we have delved deeply into this suspect external factor, and finally discovered..."

Saying this.

Xu Liang suddenly shifted his gaze onto Han Chengguang, his look like a sharp blade continuously scraping the surface of his skin!

Han Chengguang’s heart skipped a beat, his breathing gradually quickened.

"Three years ago, the victims Li Guang, Feng Nan, and Li Ye underwent a health check-up!"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke aloud, his voice reached everyone on the scene.

"And two years after this check-up, the three of them underwent this pathological change within half a year, turning from ordinary people into critically ill patients!!!"

Health... health check-up!?

In an instant.

The minds of everyone on the scene exploded with a resounding ’buzz’, suddenly blank, staring at Xu Liang with sowhat dazed expressions.

The health check-up is not considered rare.

Elentary school, middle school, university, even entering the workforce in a company.

All these require a healthy check-up report to prove you can undertake similar responsibilities as others!

It’s just...

Can a health check-up lead to leukemia!?

Everyone frowned, their minds racing with a myriad of thoughts, but they couldn’t figure out the distinction between the two.

Even Zhao Yi furrowed his brow.

On the judge’s bench.

"This...how does it sound; it doesn’t seem like a hospital’s issue..."

The three judges huddled together, whispering.

Even Zhao Yi, who was most familiar with Xu Liang, was confused at this mont, a ’?’ manifesting on his face.

How could leukemia be related to a health check-up!?

Never heard of it.

After all, the health check-up process is always about the sa, urinanalysis, x-rays, blood tests.

The most likely to cause infection among these is blood testing, which uses disposable needles, and leukemia is unlike AIDS. Even if the needle was used on a leukemia patient and then on Feng Nan’s family.

It is still unlikely that they would contract leukemia.

"Just that few procedures, can they cause illness?"

One judge wrinkled his brow, recalling the entire health check-up process several tis, but still couldn’t find a problem.

Until....

"Let’s continue listening."

Zhao Yi gathered his thoughts, thought briefly, then made a firm decision.

Based on his understanding of Xu Liang, the other party must be well-prepared!

The other two judges nodded.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yi struck the gavel, casting a hidden glance at the plaintiff’s seat, at Han Chengguang, then turned his head to Xu Liang, instructed again:

"The defense, please continue to state your argunt."

In the defendant’s seat.

Listening to the surrounding murmured clamor gradually diminish, Xu Liang nodded, took a deep breath, and continued:

"Three years ago, Feng Nan’s family of three all underwent health check-ups in Qingshi City!"

"Our side focused on this, and after persistent inquiry, discovered that this health check-up was part of the ’Superstar Pharmaceutical Group’s’ ’social welfare’ for Qingshi City!"

The pharmaceutical company holds one or two free health check-ups every year.

Feng Nan was one of the victims of the free health check-up three years ago.

"After our repeated inquiries, the client Feng Nan recounted the entire health check-up process, including blood tests and urinalysis for testing, with no issues in the procedures and operations!"

Xu Liang slowly stated.

The procedure was without problem, the operation also without problem... how is there a problem with the health check-up!?

Isn’t this self-contradiction, a internal conflict of the mind...

As everyone was pondering, furrowing their brows... Xu Liang suddenly changed his tone!

"However!"

"Despite the overwhelming amount of irrelevant information, we managed to uncover a highly suspicious incident, which led to the entire truth being exposed!"

As he spoke.

Xu Liang extended his hand, signaling sothing.

Yang Ruoxi, standing by, instantly understood without hesitation and handed Xu Liang the items from her briefcase.

What is this? It’s...

"Busulfan!"

"Honorable presiding judge, mbers of the hearing, this is a drug called Busulfan!"

Xu Liang stood up and raised the crumpled box of dicine in his hand.

Instantly, countless caras focused on the item in Xu Liang’s hand. Those close enough could clearly capture the word ’Busulfan’ on the box!

What is this!? What could this an?

For a mont, everyone in the hearing furrowed their brows as they looked at this drug they had never seen before... or even heard of, feeling instinctively that sothing was amiss.

A dical examination... would there be drugs involved!? How could that be!

dical examination, as the na suggests, is about checking physical condition, but drugs are ant for treatnt. These things are entirely separate, how could they appear in a dical examination?

Even more so... what on earth is this Busulfan?

People glanced unconsciously toward the plaintiff’s bench.

Most of the courtroom was filled with journalists; even those who graduated from reputable universities couldn’t possibly know much about dicine.

If there’s anyone in the courtroom who understands... it would only be Han Chengguang, the chairman of the pharmaceutical company!

Unfortunately, they were too far away to see Han Chengguang’s expression clearly, only so blurry images, seemingly... tense!?

"Busulfan?"

At the plaintiff’s bench, Han Chengguang, like speaking in a dream, tightly clenched his hands, bloodshot eyes staring fiercely at Xu Liang, his nostrils flaring, breathing heavily, yet still feeling suffocated.

He was like... a gambler who had exhausted everything!

’It’s over...’

Beside him, Chai Shiring only took a glance before instantly feeling like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Although unaware of what had happened, just seeing Han Chengguang this way, he knew sothing extraordinary must have occurred.

The only thing left to pray for...

"Hopefully, it’s smaller than the incident that happened in the hospital..."

...

At the judge’s bench.

"Defendant, what is the function of this drug? Moreover, your side claims... the drug was used on Feng Nan’s family of three?"

Zhao Yi frowned, staring at the drug box in Xu Liang’s hand, questioning.

He felt a bit uneasy, as if sothing significant was about to happen...

"Honorable presiding judge."

"This box of dicine in our hands is called Busulfan, a type of alkylating agent chemotherapy drug!"

"It is typically used for treating leukemia or as a preconditioning for bone marrow transplantation."

"Furthermore, this is a preconditioning drug, unlike anti-inflammatory dications, and whenever it is used, it is definitely in conjunction with a specific treatnt thod!"

Xu Liang slowly stated.

Every word was like a pin sharply piercing Han Chengguang’s heart.

He couldn’t bear it, but Xu Liang cared not whether he could withstand it.

"Currently, nationwide—indeed worldwide—wherever Busulfan is used, it is one hundred percent followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplant surgery!"

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation... although not often heard, everyone could understand.

It’s just that Busulfan is the precursor drug for this kind of procedure....

In a daze.

The crowd suddenly ca back to their senses, utterly shocked, exchanging bewildered glances with those around them.

"Wait a minute, weren’t they just going for a dical check-up? How did it involve hematopoietic stem cell transplantation?"

"Injecting Busulfan definitely ans proceeding with transplantation surgery afterwards... Why would Feng Nan’s family of three undergo this?"

"Things seem to be spiraling out of control...."

"It’s quite strange...."

Everyone began discussing eagerly, gradually causing a clamor to rise inside the courtroom.

The discussion span was so broad that it left people utterly bewildered.

Until Zhao Yi stepped in to maintain order.

"Bang!"

The sound of the gavel ca down, and the voices gradually faded.

Zhao Yi turned towards Xu Liang and continued: "Defendant, please proceed."

Xu Liang nodded, organized his thoughts briefly, and continued:

"Busulfan, as a preconditioning drug, is currently deeply entangled with hematopoietic stem cells!"

"However, my representative has stated upfront, they haven’t undergone any hematopoietic stem cell transplant surgery!"

"Therefore, we beca suspicious, because drugs like Busulfan shouldn’t be used arbitrarily; otherwise, it might significantly affect the victim’s health."

"Thus, I sought evidence in another direction!"

Xu Liang paused and then continued:

"Through inquiry... all three victims were found to have inherited genetic thalassemia!"

"This was confird by the staff during their dical examination, and it was declared that the dication was for treating thalassemia!"

Which ans the drugs were not used arbitrarily and were certainly used in conjunction with sothing.

Yet, as of now, the only subsequent choice, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, shows no sign.

The crowd suddenly felt anxious.

"Precisely because of this, I considered another possibility, aside from stem cell transplantation, which is the second thod to cure thalassemia!"

"Which is.... "

"The Zeyoutai treatnt thod!"
