Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.
Chapter 197 This is a threat!
"Purpose?"
She hadn't thought about it that way.
But... isn't it easy to guess the purpose of establishing this clause in nursing homes?
"They probably want to get the remaining nursing care fees, or..."
Suddenly, Chen Qiaowei's mind went blank, and she thought of a certain possibility. Her voice suddenly stopped.
"wrong……"
Based on what she had done at the nursing home, she had some terrible ideas.
But Chen Qiaowei shook her head, trying to calm herself down.
"No, no, they wouldn't do that."
"If we really did that, it would be no small matter!"
Although Chen Qiaowei did not reveal her guess, viewers in the live stream guessed it.
Wow! This nursing home has this clause; surely they wouldn't intentionally cause an elderly person's death to pocket the remaining care fees?
Based on the current clues, this is highly likely!
[Really? This nursing home hasn't done this many times before, has it?]
[Holy crap, I've got goosebumps!]
If that's true, then it's no small matter; think of how many people they've murdered before!
[This is chilling to think about; hopefully, it's not what we're thinking.]
[Isn't this a high-end nursing home? They charge such high fees for every senior, and yet they still did something like this!]
[After all, once the elderly person dies, the remaining care fees can be collected. They probably aren't just trying to collect a large amount, are they?]
[This is ridiculous! It's all about sales volume!]
"We still need to investigate the specific situation on-site; guessing is useless."
Jiang Chen put away the contract and stood up.
"I will first apply to the court to file a case, and after I obtain a lawyer's investigation order, I can go and request the materials."
The search for evidence also requires a certain procedure.
Chen Qiaowei smiled faintly and stood up.
"Attorney Jiang, you don't need to bother with this small matter. I'll run the errand for you."
"Just wait at the law firm!"
How can we entrust business development to Jiang Chen?
He's now the firm's star player, so he'll definitely handle this kind of small matter himself.
Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Soon, Jiang Chen filed a lawsuit against Anze Nursing Home.
The remaining time was used by Jiang Chen to sort out the whole case and search for relevant evidence.
three days later.
Inside the law firm office.
Jiang Chen was looking down as he reviewed all the evidence materials sent by Zhou Zhenhai.
It contains the elderly's medical records, police reports, and payment records, and also helps to identify contract loopholes and suspected illegalities in Anze Nursing Home.
The application for filing a case has been submitted, and the lawyer's investigation order is also going through the approval process. Everything is progressing steadily.
Just then, a steady footstep sounded outside the office door.
dong dong dong...
A knock came at the door.
Jiang Chen raised his eyes and said calmly, "Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and two middle-aged men in formal attire, with capable demeanors, walked in.
The leader was dressed in a suit and tie, with a composed demeanor and an air of arrogance that came with years of holding a high position.
His eyes were sharp as he sized Jiang Chen up and down.
His assistant, carrying a briefcase, followed behind him with a respectful expression.
Before Jiang Chen could speak, the leading man spoke first, his tone calm but carrying a strong sense of oppression.
"Hello, Attorney Jiang."
"I am Gao Jianming, the person in charge of Anze Elderly Care Group."
Upon hearing who the other party was, the netizens watching the live stream instantly went wild.
[Oh ho? The person in charge of that nursing home?]
Why are all these companies corporations? Is the company across the street really that big?!
A nursing home that can charge 10,000 yuan a month must be quite a large institution!
[They've come knocking on our door so quickly? Are they trying to settle this privately?]
Judging from their demeanor, they don't seem to be here to apologize; they seem to be here to exert pressure!
[The show's about to begin! We eagerly await Attorney Jiang's confrontation!]
Gao Jianming glanced at the camera that was broadcasting live, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Attorney Jiang, what I'm about to discuss with you is a private matter and cannot be disclosed to the public."
"Please turn off the live stream."
This is his reasonable request, and he can voluntarily ask to turn off the live stream.
Jiang Chen wouldn't refuse.
But as soon as he said that, the live stream chat exploded with comments!
[Should the live stream be shut down? Something's fishy! Something's definitely fishy!]
[They're feeling guilty! It's obvious they're trying to exert pressure behind the scenes!]
[The fact that they dare not speak openly shows they have something to hide!]
[Don't close this! Let the whole internet see what kind of people they are!]
If it's not shut down, wouldn't that be illegal? It still needs to be shut down.
Jiang Chen remained calm, showing no sign of panic.
He was well aware that the other party had come with a purpose since they had taken the initiative to do so.
They either settle out of court and withdraw the lawsuit, or they go to your home to pressure and coerce you into backing out.
To prevent the other party from using the "publicly negotiated content" as leverage to accuse him of infringement, Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"Can."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and shut down the live stream.
The assistant behind them closed the door, leaving only the three of them in the office.
Gao Jianming sat confidently on the sofa opposite Jiang Chen, crossed his legs, and exuded an aura of authority.
He spoke slowly.
"Attorney Jiang, my purpose in coming here today is very simple."
"I hope you can stop regarding the case of Zhou Zhenhai's father."
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and looked up at him: "President Gao, what do you mean by that?"
Gao Jianming smiled faintly, his tone light and casual.
"The rules of the underworld are that we do things for money. Just name your price."
"As long as you're willing to withdraw from this case and stop pursuing the lawsuit, I'll give you whatever price you want."
"Ten thousand, five hundred thousand, one million—name your price!"
He was certain that no one could resist such a straightforward temptation.
A young lawyer earning millions from a single case is enough to make most people give in immediately.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes remained completely unmoved; he simply shook his head slightly.
"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry."
"Since I have accepted the client's commission, I must do my duty and follow up on the case to the end."
"If I were to accept money to drop the case, it would violate my professional ethics."
Besides, there is another reason.
Who knows if the other party has set a trap here?
If you accept the money, you may be suspected of extortion!
Gao Jianming's smile faded slightly, and his tone turned cold.
"Attorney Jiang, it's truly remarkable that you've managed to make a name for yourself in the industry at such a young age."
"I admire your abilities, but in life and in business, you must know how to assess the situation and act accordingly!"
He leaned forward slightly and began to subtly apply pressure:
"Our Anze Nursing Home has become a top-tier high-end elderly care brand in the city, not by luck."
"The connections and resources behind our stable operation over the years are beyond what a young lawyer like you can imagine."
"You've started an investigation and are relentlessly pursuing us."
"To be honest, it doesn't really make much sense..."
That's pretty obvious.
This is a threat!
