Chapter 874 Work
I noticed her work badge on her chest - Shen Qing, an intern in the cardiovascular department of Renxin Hospital. The trial was forced to stop. When I walked out of the court, Shen Qing stopped me. "Lawyer Chen, I know you are the most fair lawyer in the industry." Her eyes were full of pleading, "Those data were tampered by my mentor himself. He has interests with medical device companies..." I was about to speak, and suddenly Wang Tao roared from behind: "Shen Qing! You are fired! From now on, you are no longer an employee of Renxin Hospital!" That night, I repeatedly checked the information provided by Shen Qing in the office. There are indeed doubts about the signature on the clinical trial report, and the data curve is perfect to the point of being weird. My phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Lin Wei: "Old Chen, stop it. The water behind this case is too deep, and it is not something you and I can wade through." I stared at the screen and thought of the lawsuit that changed our fate ten years ago - at that time, we argued for an innocent small business owner, but were retaliated by the other party. In the end, the business owner was wrongly imprisoned, and our law firm fell apart. Before the trial the next day, I received an anonymous package. After opening it, there was a thick stack of cash and a note: "Lawyer Chen, smart people know when to quit." I held the note, my nails almost digging into my palm. At the end of the corridor, Shen Qing was stopped by several burly men. When she saw me, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. "Let her go." I walked forward, my voice as cold as ice. The men looked at each other and left angrily. There were several scratches on Shen Qing's white coat. She trembled and said: "They threatened me that if I testified in court, they would close my parents' nursing home." I looked at this young girl, as if I saw myself who was desperate for justice ten years ago. At the trial, when Shen Qing told the truth in a crying voice, Wang Tao's face flushed. "You are falsely accusing!" He roared, "Can the words of an intern be used as evidence?" Lin Wei was surprisingly quiet. She looked at me with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes. At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the nursing home. They said that Shen Qing's parents' room suddenly caught fire and the two elderly people were in critical condition. Shen Qing's face turned pale in an instant. She staggered to rush out of the court. I grabbed her and said, "I'll ask someone to deal with it. You must stay here." She looked at me with tears in her eyes and finally nodded. The debate entered a white-hot stage. I took out new evidence obtained from a third-party agency to prove that the medical device company did falsify data. Lin Wei stood up to refute. Her words were still sharp, but I could feel that she was not confident enough. When I showed the last recording evidence, the whole audience fell into silence-it was a recording of a call between Wang Tao and the person in charge of the medical device company, which clearly recorded the whole process of their tampering with the data. In the end, the court ruled that Renxin Hospital lost the case and the relevant responsible persons were held criminally responsible in accordance with the law. When she walked out of the court, Shen Qing's parents were out of danger, and she thanked me in tears. I looked at the traffic in the distance, and suddenly remembered what Lin Wei once said: "The law is like a scale, but the scale is sometimes covered by dust because of interests." However, things did not end there. A week later, I received a lawyer's letter. The company behind Renxin Hospital sued me. They accused me of malicious defamation and demanded huge compensation. What's worse, my assistant told me that many anonymous complaint letters have been sent to the Bar Association recently, reporting my illegal operations. Lin Wei asked me to meet at the old coffee shop. She pushed a cup of American coffee and said, "Old Chen, stop it. This group has a wide network of people in the political and business circles. You can't beat them." I looked at her exquisite makeup and suddenly felt a little strange. "Ten years ago, we did everything for justice, but now you want me to bow to the powerful?" I sneered. Lin Wei's eyes dimmed, "Do you think I want to? After the lawsuit, I was threatened and intimidated, and almost lost my life. I don't want you to repeat the same mistake." She took out an envelope from her bag, "This is the hush money they gave me, and I haven't touched it. Lao Chen, we can take this money and fly away, away from this place of right and wrong." I pushed the envelope away, "If even lawyers give up justice, then what fairness is there in this world?" Lin Wei stood up with red eyes: "Okay, since you don't listen to my advice, then we'll see you in court." In the following days, I fell into an unprecedented dilemma. The Bar Association began to investigate my professional qualifications, and my family was also harassed. But I didn't back down, but instead became more determined to collect evidence. In the process, I accidentally discovered a bigger conspiracy-this medical group not only involved in data falsification, but also participated in the cover-up of many medical accidents. On the day of the trial, the court was surrounded by the media. As the opposing lawyer, Lin Wei still had a strong aura, but I could see the fatigue in her eyes. When I took out a thick stack of new evidence, her face turned pale. These evidences included more recordings and documents of collusion between hospitals and enterprises, and even records of bribery by some officials. "Lawyer Chen, are you sure you want to do this?" The presiding judge looked at me with a hint of worry in his eyes. I straightened my back: "Yes, presiding judge. The scale of law may be temporarily tilted, but the scale of justice will never disappear." In the end, this protracted lawsuit ended with a victory for justice. The illegal behavior of the medical group was exposed and the relevant responsible persons were severely punished. Lin Wei and I smiled at each other outside the court, and the grievances of ten years seemed to disappear at this moment. "Old Chen, I admit defeat." Lin Wei said, "But I lose willingly." I looked at the court building in the distance, and the sun shone on the word "justice", shining brightly. Perhaps this is the charm of the law-no matter how difficult the road is, the scale of justice will never be erased. It is like a lighthouse, guiding legal people to keep moving forward. After this storm, I decided to set up a public interest legal team to speak specifically for the disadvantaged. Shen Qing also joined us, and there was more determination in her eyes. We took on one case after another that seemed impossible to win, and used the weapon of law to protect everyone's rights and interests. Late one night, I was sorting case files in my office. The city outside the window was brightly lit and busy with traffic. My cell phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. "Thank you, Lawyer Chen." It was the voice of an old man on the other end of the phone, "If it weren't for you, my grandson might still be wronged in prison." I held the phone, and a warm current surged in my heart. This is the meaning of my persistence. Lin Wei occasionally comes to the law firm to find me, and we will have a cup of coffee together, talk about the past, and talk about the future. She quit her original job and is now a legal consultant for a public welfare organization. "
