Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 533 - 216 Qin Mu: Am I that famous?_2

I never expected to end up like this.

"This Qin Mu..." Zhang Wei took a deep breath and suddenly lamented, "Although he despises evil as if it were his mortal enemy and seems unfeeling, it’s undeniable that precisely because of his actions, those who break the law now feel a sense of awe."

"Haven’t you noticed?"

"Now, in Jin City, every industry has become much more regulated, fearing that Qin Mu will turn his attention their way."

"Those acts of moral coercion and borderline illegal activities used to be hard to confront, and few people bothered to get involved."

"Qin Mu, that disruptive force of nature, has undoubtedly brought about change for many."

As he spoke these words, Zhang Wei’s expression was incredibly serious, his respect for Qin Mu evident.

Qin Mu was highly proficient in matters of law.

But what he truly admired... was Qin Mu’s relentlessly persistent nature. The words ’perfunctory’ or ’making do’ simply weren’t in his vocabulary.

Besides.

In the previous Parrot Case, Qin Mu had rallied and called out, trying to correct the bias of judicial sentencing with a not-guilty defense.

In the Good Samaritan case, Qin Mu and he had worked together to highlight judicial encouragement for such acts and change societal attitudes.

In the Wedding Hazing Case, where a bridesmaid’s attack resulted in one death and three injuries, it was Qin Mu who had helped by referring them to him...

In general, Qin Mu was not devoid of human feeling.

It seemed as if the judicial principle of punishing evil and promoting good was perfectly embodied in Qin Mu.

"So, I often think that my bad luck isn’t because Qin Mu is lucky," Zhang Wei paused, then continued, "but because his actions are solely in pursuit of justice, of ensuring that good is rewarded and evil is punished."

Zhang Kuang listened to Zhang Wei’s extremely high praise for Qin Mu, feeling his breath quicken and his heartbeat accelerate continuously.

No matter how Zhang Wei evaluated him... in his heart, Qin Mu was a jinx, plain and simple. Without a doubt, the reports against Han Dongting and Liu Qiao must have been Qin Mu’s doing.

"Zhang Wei, for the sake of our old school ties, save me! You have to save me! In Jin City’s legal circles nowadays, you’re the only one who can stand up to Qin Mu..." His face etched with despair, he clung tightly to Zhang Wei, begging desperately as if grasping at the last straw.

"I will try my best to defend you, provided that... you absolutely must stop any more shady dealings," Zhang Wei said, fixing his gaze on him and nodding in caution.

In the current situation, with Jin City news trending and countless people watching, every little thing would be magnified. If this continued, only a dead end awaited.

「Meanwhile,」

In Jin City, at the prosecutor’s office, inside a certain meeting room:

"This Liu Qiao... he’s tangled up in quite a lot, isn’t he?"

Everyone was looking down, analyzing the latest case details, their brows deeply furrowed.

This case... they hadn’t investigated it thoroughly enough last time.

Following the self-incriminating revelations by Liu Qiao’s defense lawyer, they gradually learned about Liu Qiao’s other hidden assets.

For the past three years, Liu Qiao had been using the pharmacy for illicit gains. But in fact, even before that, three years prior, he had also operated several other pharmacies, all located outside a particular hospital. The illegal revenue involved far exceeded tens of millions.

"Liu Qiao previously used the identity information of relatives and friends to operate pharmacies multiple times. Besides Sanhe Hospital, he also operated them outside three other hospitals: Shan’an Hall, Baohetang, and Yixin Hall."

"After investigation, the revenue of these pharmacies is astonishingly high. Daily sales of health supplements exceeded one hundred thousand yuan, and monthly revenue exceeded three million yuan."

"These pharmacies had been in operation for a period far exceeding his collusion with Han Dongting and the gains derived from it."

"At present, we seriously suspect that doctors from these hospitals are also colluding with Liu Qiao."

As one prosecutor said this, looking at the others in the meeting room, they all showed expressions of excitement and surprise.

Since the exposure of the Sanhe Hospital affair, they had thought it was sensational enough. After all, a single hospital having five doctors involved in profiteering cases was uncommon. And now, as the thorough investigation continued, more criminal evidence was being uncovered in Liu Qiao’s other accounts. The amounts involved in this illegal profiteering and money laundering were skyrocketing.

"Investigate! I feel we must investigate! There’s definitely a problem within these hospitals!"

"Liu Qiao’s modus operandi is very clear now. Without the help of internal doctors, the sales of health supplements at his pharmacy would never have been so terrifyingly high!"

"One box of health supplements, the cheap ones cost 288, the expensive ones two to three thousand. This black-market industrial chain must be thoroughly investigated and dismantled!"

"..."

Everyone voiced their opinions. On their desks lay the financial records of Liu Qiao’s other pharmacies; the turnover was shockingly high. Every revenue figure was extraordinarily large, making no logical sense. Clearly, all of it was the patients’ hard-earned money.

"We definitely have to investigate. Now, let’s assign tasks. Each person will take one hospital and conduct a thorough investigation into these suspected institutions."

Immediately following the discussion, the meeting concluded. The investigative team decided on a policy of thorough investigation. This incident had caused a massive sensation, and many people in Jin City were paying close attention; it had to be handled with extreme care. As for the collusion in the pharmaceutical industry that Liu Qiao was implicated in, they simply couldn’t turn a blind eye.

「At the same time,」

In Jin City, although the Sanhe Hospital incident had reached a temporary conclusion, Liu Qiao’s case...
