Chapter 367: Chapter 254: Deal Struck!
The cause of Li Guang’s death...
Although the truth about the death is already known from Huang Liang verbally,
there’s no solid evidence, and while Xu Liang may believe it, the appellate judge will not!
At that time, the investigation will require adjournment again, which is a significant hassle.
Therefore, even if getting Li Guang’s information is currently useless, Xu Liang still aims to gather as much obtainable information as possible to prevent any future complications.
Who knows if Han Chengguang suddenly discovers Huang Liang’s unusual actions?
Huang Liang didn’t speak, just turned his head to look at Wang Chao standing nearby.
Wang Chao remained unmoved.
"Chao, untie him," Xu Liang said straightforwardly.
Upon hearing this,
Wang Chao reluctantly untied the ropes binding Huang Liang.
"Ssss~"
The ropes loosened and fell heavily to the ground.
Feeling the restraints vanish, Huang Liang stood up, took deep breaths, and rubbed his wrists.
He didn’t waste much time, got up, and led the people out of the laboratory.
"Tap, tap, tap...."
As footsteps echoed, the voice-activated lights in the hallway gradually turned on.
On the way, they encountered a few thin silhouettes, and upon getting closer, they realized it was the pharmaceutical company’s employees, causing Wang Chao to tense up.
Unexpectedly, they merely greeted Huang Liang without noticing any odd behavior from the two.
And Huang Liang had no intention of exposing them!
This made Wang Chao breathe a deep sigh of relief.
Before long, the group returned to the filing room.
The filing room was similar to the police’s document organizing room, with shelves filled with sturdy square plastic bins containing numerous thick materials.
However, these bins were divided systematically, with different areas for each type of drug material.
Huang Liang searched inside for a long time, eventually finding a few pieces of personal information.
"Here."
Xu Liang reached out to take it and immediately began reading it.
The first two words he saw were [Li Guang]!
Xu Liang’s brows furrowed as he started reading word by word, forming an initial judgment in his mind.
Huang Liang wasn’t lying; Li Guang indeed died due to the medication.
But that was only half of the factor!
Firstly, the medication not only had side effects but also had positive effects, otherwise, merely taking generic drugs couldn’t control Li Guang’s condition to that extent!
As for why it led to death...
"Typically, such side effects wouldn’t directly cause death, but for some reason, Li Guang couldn’t resist,"
Huang Liang shook his head and said, but didn’t delve into it as his experimental observation materials weren’t lacking just Li Guang.
But despite saying that,
beside him, Liu Hui felt guilty and nervous.
The other half of Li Guang’s death cause was naturally due to the hospital’s blood drawing!
Treating Li Guang as a blood slave for extraction led him to severe blood loss; coincidentally, he was also taking the developed medication, and the strain became unbearable, leading to immediate death...
Not to mention, even without the medication, with illness and blood deficiency, Li Guang might not have withstood such extraction!
At this moment, as everyone harbored their own thoughts and ulterior motives...
A surprised voice suddenly echoed.
"Hmm?"
Wang Chao turned at the sound, seeing it was Xu Liang, whose eyes showed some astonishment.
"Brother Liang, what’s wrong?" Wang Chao quickly asked.
"Nothing."
Xu Liang looked at the document in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips, feeling a sense of irony.
The document in his hand wasn’t about Li Guang.
But about another pharmaceutical experiment participant of Huang Liang’s!
Who is this person?
Curious, Wang Chao leaned over to look, only seeing a few distinct characters.
[Name: Yang Hao!]
Yang Hao? Who is Yang Hao?
A hint of confusion flashed in Wang Chao’s eyes, but Xu Liang clearly didn’t care to address him, instead turning his head to Huang Liang.
"Is this also someone from your experiment?"
Xu Liang raised Yang Hao’s information in his hand, speaking with a faint smile.
Huang Liang glanced at it and nodded indifferently.
"Yes, caused leukemia with the same batch of drugs as Li Guang."
"But the development of the leukemia drug... he wasn’t involved at first."
"Later, for some reason, the pharmaceutical company started handling his treatment, thus he was added during the trial phase."
What is there to say?
Into the lion’s den? Or walked into a trap?
Xu Liang was slightly taken aback, feeling a touch of irony.
Typically, in non-consensual circumstances, during the trial phase, Huang Liang and his team wouldn’t find adults like this.
Why?
Because adults have self-awareness and can preliminarily distinguish between good and bad things.
Faced with a bottle with no label and no efficacy description, they would definitely be suspicious!
Perhaps most wouldn’t suspect anything, but even if one in dozens or hundreds of test subjects did, Huang Liang and his team would have a significant issue to resolve.
In contrast, someone Li Guang’s age could be easily deceived.
His worldview hadn’t been fully formed, and even during trials, he wouldn’t truly understand what was happening; the younger ones wouldn’t expose anything at all.
This is also why Han Chengguang dared to take the risk of using infants.
Of course, Xu Liang didn’t care about this.
"Tch, working for Superstar Pharmaceutical Group..."
Looking at Yang Hao’s document, Xu Liang’s face showed regret, his tone tinged with mockery.
The recipient falsified documents for treatment and even turned against Li Ye, Wu Fang, and Kong Jian in court.
After the trial ended, he even boasted about the company’s treatment plan...
But Yang Hao never expected,
that his leukemia was entirely the doing of the pharmaceutical company!
"Heh, I wonder what his expression will be when he finds out."
Xu Liang showed a mocking smile and then tucked several files into his briefcase.
After the sentiment, Xu Liang decided not to linger at Superstar Pharmaceutical Group any longer.
"Mr. Huang, I assume you are a smart man, and smart people always keep their promises."
He turned to look at Huang Liang, his face showing a gentle smile.
Huang Liang didn’t speak, still looking at him with a blank expression.
"In that case, we won’t disturb you further, we’re leaving now."
Speaking simultaneously, Huang Liang started to walk.
This place is not the kind you can just leave from; one needs someone to come in, and naturally, one needs someone to send them out.
Both parties walked to the front door of the group, at the retractable gate, and stopped.
"Mr. Huang, don’t forget the time."
"You only have twenty days!"
Before leaving.
Xu Liang reminded, Huang Liang’s lips moved, after a long time he silently nodded.
Seeing this, Xu Liang smiled and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the three leaving.
Huang Liang hesitated to speak but eventually said nothing.
"Twenty days..."
He murmured to himself, the unfinished drug appearing in his mind, then he fell silent.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, chose not to get off work, but returned to the lab, recorded the data, but did not start researching the drug.
...
Three hundred meters away from the pharmaceutical company, in the parking lot.
"Screech~!"
"Bang!"
The sound of a car door opening and closing echoed, and the voice-activated lights in the underground garage instantly shone.
The three got into the car.
"Looks like Lanshan Province will have a busy year,"
Xu Liang remarked from the driver’s seat.
The case can no longer be described as big or small.
Superstar Pharmaceutical Group’s subsidiary is overseas, which means there are foreign victims among them!
If not handled well, it could easily lead to diplomatic conflicts!
Speaking of which....
"Second Brother seems to have been promoted, I wonder if he’ll be responsible for this area."
Xu Liang speculated inwardly.
Beside him, Liu Hui was looking at him, hesitant to speak, after a long time as Xu Liang snapped back to reality, he glanced at the rearview mirror, then spoke:
"Dean Liu, if you have something to say, it’s best to say it quickly."
Liu Hui paused slightly.
After a long silence, suddenly spoke:
"Can Li Guang’s body be cremated?"
Cremate the body!?
Previously, Li Guang’s body was preserved because the pharmaceutical company, the authorities, Feng Nan, were all watching.
If he takes the risk to cremate it, although it could destroy evidence and prevent the discovery of the cause of death.
However, if it raises police suspicion, any slight investigation could uncover the hospital’s deeds!
So, he wants Xu Liang to keep it secret.
But the situation is different now.
The things at the pharmaceutical company are too terrifying, and although Li Guang’s drug was not developed by the hospital, it was administered by the hospital, making it hard to dissociate themselves!
When the body is slightly examined, the blood drawing incident being discovered is only a matter of time!
So... can the cause of Li Guang’s death be investigated clearly?
If the hospital gets implicated...
In comparison, destroying the body, with Xu Liang reporting the pharmaceutical company, the authorities would be more likely to believe the drug development caused Li Guang’s death, rather than the blood draw!
As for whether the hospital would be exposed post-incident... as long as he hides well, at most, mismanagement and overcharging might be exposed.
"Lawyer Xu, can you try to persuade Feng Nan to cremate both bodies?"
Liu Hui showed a stiff, flattering smile and whispered.
"After all, the bodies have been lying in the hospital for a month, the morgue beds are in short supply, and it’s not proper not to lay them to rest...."
Xu Liang fell into thought.
After a long time, he also showed a smile.
"No problem."
"Dean Liu, rest assured, I am one who values credibility, never deceiving partners, you have helped me so much, it’s just cremating a body, it’s easily done."
"Leave this to me!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
A look of gratitude appeared on his face, "Thank you, Lawyer Xu!"
After saying that, Liu Hui paused and then enticingly said:
"Don’t worry, after this is over, I will definitely offer a generous reward!"
"Hmm hmm." Xu Liang nodded with a smile.
Then, without further words, he pressed the accelerator, the car slowly moved, taking them away from near the pharmaceutical group.
...
...
Late at ten thirty.
The car slowly stopped at a hospital entrance.
Liu Hui and Xu Liang said something, then pushed open the car door, got out, and opened his car door in the parking lot, then drove away slowly.
Xu Liang and Wang Chao did not leave, merely parked the car in the slot.
Watching Liu Hui drive away, disappearing into the night.
Xu Liang didn’t hesitate, acting in accordance with his instincts.
He turned his head to look at Wang Chao beside him.
"Chao."
"Go to the morgue and take the body, send it to the judicial authority for a guest autopsy report."
"Be quick!"
"I need it by the 17th!!!"
