Xu Wan stared blankly at Jiang Tingzhou, initially thinking she had misheard, and asked, "Who committed suicide?"
"An Zheng, An Yunya's father."
Jiang Tingzhou emphasized it again.
Xu Wan paused, her hand holding the cutlery still, her eyes filled with disbelief. "It's because..."
"It's because their company's drugs were found to be illegally marketed. The relevant departments came to the company for a comprehensive inspection of all its operations. It's estimated that there were many violations in the past. President An couldn't bear it and chose to commit suicide in order to preserve his last bit of dignity. This way, his wife and daughter will have an easier time afterward."
Jiang Tingzhou interrupted Xu Wan, speaking with great certainty.
He knew Xu Wan well and knew what a woman would overthink after hearing this news, so he explained things clearly in advance to nip her wild thoughts in the bud.
"they……"
"They brought it all on themselves. The pharmaceutical industry is a matter of life and death. Following the regulations at every step is the most basic thing. Their violation of the rules was a risky move, and it was only a matter of time before something went wrong."
Jiang Tingzhou wasn't trying to comfort Xu Wan.
That's exactly what he thought.
An's actions provoked Xu Wan, so he sent people to investigate them, which was simply a tit-for-tat response.
Unless they have committed a major violation, they have nothing to fear.
The atmosphere at breakfast fell silent after the news of An Zheng's death arrived.
-
Because she had to handle Ding Xinyu's case and Dong Yuanyuan's case was still going through the process, Xu Wan temporarily returned to work at Tianyuan Law Firm.
Once she arrived at the law firm, she took out her phone and started looking up news about the An family.
The news about An Zheng's suicide has become a trending topic. The content is very brief, only saying that An Zheng was found to have jumped off a building around 7 a.m. and a suicide note was found. No other information was provided.
While Xu Wan was watching the news, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"You're watching this news too? I heard about it, but I didn't expect it to escalate like this."
The person who came was Su Qiong.
She stood to the side with her cup in her hand, glancing at Xu Wan's phone before looking away.
Xu Wan just happened to come across the news of An Zheng's suicide, and those few words made it impossible for her to ignore them.
Xu Wan looked up at Su Qiong, "Is this a big deal?"
Su Qiong learned the inside story of the whole matter from Su Ziyu.
To put it bluntly, Anjia has had some problems before, but they were all resolved by connections and money. Although this matter is somewhat serious, Anjia could have resolved it as well. Even if more information leaked out and it affected the company's stock price, it would still be within a manageable range.
The only variable in this situation is Jiang Tingzhou.
The An family tried to control Jiang Tingzhou, but he ended up contacting higher-level leaders, leading to a working group conducting a thorough investigation of the An family. All the old and new issues were brought up, exceeding the An family's capacity to handle.
"Well... it was definitely big, but with Old An jumping off the building, the matter is considered closed."
Su Qiong briefly summarized the matter.
"Um."
Xu Wan didn't know what to say.
She was angry that An Jia had lied and threatened her with her mother's situation, but she never imagined that someone would die.
An Zheng's death felt like a stone weighing on her heart, making it difficult for her to let go of the matter easily.
As the two were talking, the receptionist ran in and said, "Attorney Xu, a lady has come to see you. She said she wants to consult about some divorce matters. I've arranged for her to wait for you in the consultation room."
"Great, you have your own clients now." Su Qiong patted Xu Wan on the shoulder. "Get busy, we can talk again later."
As Xu Wan got up and walked towards the meeting room, she began to recall the cases she had been handling.
Anyone who's coming should let her know beforehand; there's no need to come directly. What if she's not at the law firm? Wouldn't that be a wasted trip?
Xu Wan walked into the negotiation room, where a woman in her forties was sitting. She was wearing a thin purple down jacket, her hair was gray, and she looked very plain.
More importantly...
Xu Wan had never met this person before.
She maintained her professional demeanor, walked up to the woman, and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, I am lawyer Xu Wan."
The woman quickly stood up from her chair and introduced herself: "Hello, Attorney Xu, my name is Qian Jingshu. It's a pleasure to meet you, but my son came to see you a few days ago."
