Xiao Han didn't know how he got out of the company building. Seeing the waiting reporters from afar, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away, as if he saw someone chasing him. The only thing that kept appearing in his mind was Gong Shaohua's bewitching voice.
Take everything, everything he has now will still be...
He was half-conscious, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the hospital. All the patients who had recently been injured were staying in the oncology department on the fourteenth floor. Xiao Han watched the elevator numbers constantly jump. With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and waves of heartbreaking sobs rang out.
He looked up and vaguely saw a ward crowded with people, and the nurses passing by were whispering.
"How pitiful! He lost everything he had, and his condition was almost stable, but he insisted on participating in a clinical trial for an anti-cancer drug. Now he's even lost his life."
"What kind of experts are they? They're really causing so much harm. Two people have already passed away this morning, and who knows how many more will follow in the coming days. These unscrupulous businesses are truly causing harm!"
"Sooner or later, you will suffer retribution for making such immoral money."
Xiao Han was so distracted that he was completely stunned when he heard this. At this moment, a grief-stricken family member came out of the ward and accidentally bumped him into the wall.
The other party looked up and apologized with good intentions, recognizing Xiao Han's identity at a glance.
"It's you! You're the black-hearted expert who tricked my mom into participating in human experiments. How dare you show up here?"
Xiao Han was recognized and instinctively covered his face with his hands, trying to leave as quickly as possible, but was grabbed tightly by the other party. The family members shouted at the top of their lungs, and soon attracted a large number of people to surround him.
Most of the patients on the entire floor were victims of Gong Pharmaceutical. The moment they saw Xiao Han, their eyes were full of sparks and they wished they could eat him alive.
"I know him! This is the expert who persuaded my father to sign, and now he's refusing to take responsibility for the problem. Don't let him off so easily! He's just a murderer! How is he any different from a murderer?"
The family members' eyes were red with anger. It was unclear who had struck first. Xiao Han, looking like a delicate scholar, was easily knocked to the ground. Punches and kicks rained down on him, sending intense pain ripples through his body. Unable to resist, he could only hold his head, curling up in a corner, letting them vent their anger on him.
The scene was in chaos and no one knew how long it took before security arrived to stop the commotion. Because the noise was so loud, the police were alerted.
Blood blurred Xiao Han's vision. He lay on the ground unable to move. He only heard someone vaguely calling his name. Then his eyes went dark and he fainted.
This incident was soon exposed on the Internet and the video was leaked. Everyone who saw it applauded, but no one expressed sympathy for Xiao Han.
When Liu Lin learned the news, she still took time to visit Xiao Han in the hospital.
Seeing him lying on the hospital bed covered in wounds, with no one caring about him, Liu Lin could only sigh.
"Xiao Han, if you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't be like this. Look at you now, you're no longer the Xiao Han I used to know."
Xiao Han slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Lin, his lips curling bitterly.
"What good was Xiao Han in the past? He was a poor student with nothing. If I stood with you, everyone would just say, 'I'm your student. I can't give you anything!'"
"When did I ever care about that?"
"You don't care, but I do. My family has high hopes for me. They want me to achieve success and fame, rather than spending my whole life working as an assistant in a laboratory. Go away! I don't need your pity."
"you……"
Liu Lin was so angry that she was speechless. "You're in this state now, do you still expect the Gong family father and son to protect you? If they had any sense of righteousness, something like this wouldn't have happened today. They want you to take all the responsibility alone, but have you ever thought that if you do that, your life will be completely ruined?"
"When I chose to join the Gong family, there was no turning back. Liu Lin, I have no choice. Go!"
"Who said that! As long as you're willing to tell the truth, there's still a chance to start over. Do you really think the Gong family father and son will care about you? They're just using you. When you're completely useless, they'll kick you out without hesitation. Have you ever seen a discarded pawn end up well?"
Xiao Han looked at Liu Lin quietly, his hands clenched into fists under the quilt, and he hesitated.
"Thousands of patients have died. Are you going to watch them all die? If it's all put on you, you'll go to jail for at least three years. Do you know what that means to you? Wake up!"
The ward was silent, with only the breathing sounds of Xiao Han and Liu Lin remaining...
The next day, the top management of Gong Pharmaceutical held an emergency meeting to discuss the best solution to the problems in this clinical human trial and minimize the impact on the company.
Gong Shaohua, as the company's largest shareholder, spoke on behalf of the company at the meeting and promised everyone that the matter would be resolved soon.
"The R&D team bears undeniable responsibility for any problems with the new drug. As the head of the R&D department, Xiao Han will fully shoulder the responsibility. The company reserves the right to hold him accountable for concealing the drug's toxic side effects. Additionally, I've decided to provide each patient with a compensation payment in the company's name as a token of our appreciation. What do you all think?"
The other senior executives nodded repeatedly. No one cared what the truth of the whole incident was. As long as someone stood up to take responsibility, ended the whole thing as soon as possible, and reduced their losses, they naturally would not object.
Just as the matter was about to be finalized, a team of police officers forced open the door of the conference room and showed their credentials.
"Police, investigating! Mr. Gong Shaohua, there have been issues with your company's anti-cancer drug clinical trials, and three patients have died. We've opened an investigation. Could you please come with us and assist with the investigation?"
As soon as the relevant documents were shown, the other senior executives were frightened and turned pale. Someone was killed. This cannot be explained in a few words.
Gong Shaohua's face was dark, and his eyes were fixed on the document in the other person's hand.
Open a case for investigation!
He sneered: "I need to find my lawyer. I won't leave until he comes."
The leading police officer sneered, "Mr. Gong, this isn't up to you. Human lives are at stake, and we wouldn't come here in person without solid evidence. Xiao Han, an employee of your company, has already admitted how you bribed him to steal confidential laboratory data, then forcibly conducted human experiments despite knowing the enormous risks. You have to leave."
"You...what did you say?"
Gong Shaohua didn't believe it: "His one-sided statement doesn't mean anything."
"Whether it's just one side of the story or not, the judge will make the final decision. Mr. Gong, come with us!"
