Who Made Him a Lawyer? Chapter 389 - 276: Verdict, Court Adjourned!

Victims...

Not just three?

The mont those four words fell.

The scene suddenly fell silent, with even the sound of heartbeats between each other audible.

The information contained in these four words was like a bomb!

Not just three... does that an... there are others!?

If there are... four? Or five?

Thinking about the pharmaceutical company’s decades of conducting dical examinations, so daring individuals in the courtroom began to speculate that there might be dozens or even twenty victims.

Director Chai glanced at Han Chengguang, whose face was deathly pale, feeling a wave of despair, thinking that the number must start at a hundred...

But unfortunately... they were all wrong.

"According to our investigation, the number of victims of Superstar Pharmaceutical Group amounts to...."

Xu Liang interrupted the court’s order, paused, and uttered a frightening number.

"1891!!!"

1891....

The crowd hadn’t yet reacted, about to say sothing.

Xu Liang paused, then added a sentence, "Children."

Two words fell.

Like a drop of rain falling into the ocean, not causing even a ripple, not even making a sound.

Silence...

Very silent!

The sound of breathing, heartbeats, even the tiny noises of communication outside the courtroom were captured by the ears at this mont.

The whole scene of the High Court trial seed to beco a pool of stagnant water.

Until...

Xu Liang spoke again.

"Additionally, so adults, and those voluntarily coming to the black market to try the drugs, were not accounted for."

"Among the victims... most had their physical data monitored, testing drugs was partial."

"And part of the victims exist within the Mutual Aid Association at Tianshan Hospital."

"Including but not limited to the plaintiff’s first-instance witness ’Yang Hao’...."

"Due to the sheer number, we couldn’t bring all the data and files to the trial, please forgive us, Judge."

Xu Liang spoke slowly.

It’s as if he didn’t know what he’s saying, completely unaware of how much impact these words have on the people around him.

Missiles? Bombs?

No, these words are like a nuclear bomb exploding in front of you, instantly turning the whole world into a pale white!

And all you could do was stare blankly, your mind utterly empty...

Until a long while later....

"Two... two thousand people!? And that’s only the unaccounted numbers!?"

"I rember now, Superstar Pharmaceutical developed 32 highly effective drugs in 20 years, this research speed was even used for advertising, but now... this damn it was developed on mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

"Is it real? This can’t be fake... I an that’s just too many people...."

"Add up dostic and foreign ones, and even so voluntary ones, and so just for data recording.... not much now!"

"Big news... big news!!!"

"Finished, I thought the first trial was dramatic enough, how the second trial the defendant pulled out a nuke..."

"Ruined, who’s actually the defendant!? Why am I getting confused...."

A series of noises arose.

An indescribable sense of terror was about to explode in everyone’s chest, urging them to communicate to relieve the symptoms.

So were shocked, so were skeptical, but in front of that iron-clad evidence... any doubt felt like an egg hitting a rock, overestimating oneself!

Even so... were terrified!

"Ruined, ruined... I just finished writing the piece defending the plaintiff..."

In the gallery, reporter Wang Hao felt like he was on needles.

His face showed fear, only feeling his future was utterly bleak, his whole being impatient beyond asure.

On the eve of the trial, he’d just written a piece about Chai Shiring, and the pharmaceutical company’s righteous isolation of the hospital, portraying it as a noble image....

Now with such an explosion...

"Finished..."

Wang Hao collapsed in the chair, cold sweat pouring down, completely bewildered.

The defendant’s side...

Chai Shiring was gasping for air, his brain extrely dizzy, almost as if lacking oxygen.

He panicked.

Utterly panicked!

This case... forget Blue Shield coming, even if Upper City’s premium and red circles were tied together, with support from behind, none would stand, they’re just cannon fodder!

"Director... Director Chai, what do we do?"

Next to him, Sha Jin was no longer smiling, his face showed horror, hurriedly urging Chai Shiring, like a drowning man desperately clutching for the life-saving straw.

"What do we do!?"

What to do?

If he knew, he’d still be scared!?

Chai Shiring’s face showed a ferocity, which was induced by fear but captured by soone in the gallery.

He originally wanted to bind the law firm and pharmaceutical company together to avoid the issue on the hospital side.

But looking at it now....

Anyone who cos near the pharmaceutical company dies!!!

The hospital side at worst loses so money, fewer commissions, but as long as the current storm passes, it can rise again in a few years.

But the pharmaceutical company leaves no survival path!!!

"Plaintiff’s side, do you wish to counter-argue!?"

From the bench.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, eagerly asking.

"Ah... Ah?"

Chai Shiring’s brain buzzed, only realizing Zhao Yi was asking him after a while, ca to his senses and looked blankly.

Does he want to counter-argue?

From his personal interest perspective, he certainly wants to counter-argue.

From analyzing the client’s interests, he also needs to counter-argue.

But....

Chai Shiring’s lips moved for a long ti, yet he didn’t say a word, not even a character!

Until...

"If you don’t speak further, the bench has the right to consider your side as abandoning the counter-argunt!" Zhao Yi’s eyes contracted, speaking.

Chai Shiring still didn’t open his mouth.

Next to him, Han Chengguang seed seriously ill, indifferent to whether Chai Shiring spoke or not.

No one knows better than those who break the law the price they must pay.

Han Chengguang is no exception!

Back when he did this, he understood that once exposed, he would face unprecedented consequences.

There is no one who can save him!

He just didn’t expect it... to be so soon.

Until....

"The plaintiff voluntarily waives the defense."

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and stated decisively.

The judge behind him heard and said nothing.

"What should we do, should we adjourn?"

A judge said anxiously.

After adjournnt, investigate the evidence ntioned by the defendant, and then reconvene to make a judgnt on the case.

But...

"No, this case is a hot potato, the more we investigate, the more there will be!"

Zhao Yi’s mind worked quickly, and in an instant, he analyzed the case.

"What the defendant is saying is actually unrelated to the case!"

"What we need to try is the smuggling of counterfeit drugs case at Tianshan Hospital involving Li Ye!"

"And what is currently being ntioned is another case, unrelated to us."

In theory, this ans rewriting the entire indictnt, re-prosecuting the pharmaceutical company, and obtaining compensation.

aning.

If Xu Liang were the plaintiff, these words could be tried, but as the defendant... the judgnt seat cannot try them.

"First, determine the judgnt of the counterfeit drug case!"

"Otherwise, once the trial is adjourned, the longer it drags on, the later the human experintation issue will be resolved, and the higher-ups will be less satisfied!"

Zhao Yi pondered hard.

He swore, at over fifty years old, this was the first ti his brain worked so well in his life.

There was no choice, he was forced!

"Then declare the judgnt!?" A judge hesitated and asked.

"Declare the judgnt!"

Zhao Yi’s gaze intensified.

He understood that Xu Liang hadn’t intended to change the first-instance judgnt in his second appeal.

He was simply looking for trouble!

Trying to create issues for the plaintiff side, even pointing directly at Blue Shield Law Firm!

Why?

Because once a new case is filed, Blue Shield Law Firm is unrelated to the new case, even if the pharmaceutical company causes a stir, as long as the law firm isn’t involved in human experintation, it won’t affect them at all.

On the contrary, using the hospital’s second instance, they’ll drag the opposing side onto the plaintiff’s court and then say these words...

The impact will be huge!

It’s just unclear how the opposing side attracted such a troubleso figure, being pursued so relentlessly...

Zhao Yi thought honestly in his heart and then did not delay any longer, directly standing up.

Seeing the presiding judge stand up, everyone’s heart lifted with him.

The next second, Zhao Yi’s voice resonated throughout the scene.

"Everyone, stand up."

Upon hearing.

Everyone present stood up, quieting their voices.

Han Chengguang and Chai Shiring lay limp but were dragged to their feet by bailiffs.

Wang Hao, slumped on the hearing bench, was blocked by the crowd.

Zhao Yi didn’t bother with them, he only wanted to announce the judgnt quickly, and imdiately said:

"This case, tried by Qingshi City Interdiate Court in the first instance, and by Lanshan Province High Court in the second instance."

"Now, after court examination, the defendant’s viewpoints have been verified and are true!"

"The smuggling of counterfeit drugs by Wu Fang, Kong Jian, and Li Ye does not constitute the cause of Li Guang’s death, so..."

"The second instance upholds the original judgnt of the first instance!"

"Wu Fang, Kong Jian involved...."

"Sentenced to three years of fixed-term imprisonnt, with three years’ suspension!"

Sentencing to three, suspending for three, still sentencing to three, suspending for three.

This is the court’s minimum standard for smuggling issues!

But this is also Xu Liang’s objective!

He never intended to rewrite the penalty, since it’s already tantamount to acquittal, he’s simply... trying to ss with Blue Shield Law Firm.

Trying to pick the fruit, snatching Zhao Hailong’s achievents?

Wishing for Blue Shield Law Firm to beco famous and expand out of Lanshan Province into Upper City?

Xu Liang is a warmhearted person, he doesn’t mind helping them out.

But... how can re fa be enough?

It must be nationally renowned!

Even famous around several neighboring countries, even globally renowned!!!

"Now announcing the court adjournnt!"

"Everyone orderly returns."

After Zhao Yi finished this sentence, he felt relieved and quickly walked out of the courtroom.

As he walked, he cursed under his breath.

’Damn it, clearly reached the High Court, yet still can’t find peace... Interdiate Court I endure the pressure, how co at the High Court, I still endure pressure!?’

’Damn it, if it weren’t for my experience, able to analyze what needs to be done now, otherwise if any adjournnt affected subsequent case investigations...’

Zhao Yi’s face turned dark, leaving the scene at the fastest speed.

In the courtroom.

Still silent and soundless.

The plaintiff side slumped in a chair, like a dead pig.

Defendant’s seat.

Xu Liang smiled slightly, and then packed up his docunts slowly walking out.

The case concluded.

The second instance directly upholds the first-instance decision, and officials will intervene in the human experintation case, definitely compensating the victims first.

Huang Liang listed all mbers of the Mutual Aid Association into it, so the Mutual Aid Association mbers...at least Feng Nan will receive free dical care, and there will be a large amount of compensation!

As for public opinion...

That’s none of his concern!

When Xu Liang left for a long ti, only then did the reporters at the scene return to their senses.

They looked at each other, then....

Everyone exploded with excitent!
