Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

Back at the law firm, it was already close to evening.

Without pausing, Jiang Chen immediately turned on his computer and continued to gather clues.

After obtaining this crucial clue, Jiang Chen had other conjectures.

The two began searching all publicly available filing records of Anze Nursing Home for the past three years, as well as public notices of the elderly residents' deaths.

Data points popped up rapidly, and Jiang Chen quickly scanned them and made a summary.

Chen Qiaowei stood aside, watching Jiang Chen screen the data one by one.

At first, she simply observed calmly.

As time went by, Chen Qiaowei's face gradually paled, and a chill inexplicably rose in her heart.

The data on the screen revealed a chilling and terrifying pattern!

In the past three years, without exception, all elderly and seriously ill patients who have moved into Anze Nursing Home and prepaid high nursing fees for many years have stayed for no more than six months.

They either died suddenly from a serious illness, or they mysteriously went missing in the middle of the night and were eventually found dead in the suburbs.

Not a single exception!

For three whole years, dozens of elderly people experienced this!

"This...this is no coincidence!"

Chen Qiaowei's throat tightened, her voice trembled slightly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

She had always thought that Mr. Zhou's ordeal was just one instance of misconduct by the nursing home.

But now it seems that this was not an accident at all!

This is a black market supply chain that has been running for three years and has repeatedly emerged!

It is specifically designed for elderly people who have prepaid high annual fees, are frail and sick, and have no one to take care of them at all times!

By exploiting unfair contract terms, they can pocket the remaining hundreds of thousands in nursing fees.

They will use despicable means to ensure that the elderly person never has the chance to come back and uncover the truth!

Jiang Chen stared at the data on the screen, his gaze turning completely somber.

He spoke slowly. "This isn't an isolated case; they're repeat offenders!"

"In three years, ten elderly people were used as tools for their own profit!"

At this moment, all the doubts came together.

Why would a contract include a clause that stipulates no refunds if an elderly person passes away?

Because they had been making money off the dead for three whole years using this shady process!

Chen Qiaowei's face was deathly pale, and she clenched her fists tightly.

"This is horrifying... This isn't a nursing home, it's a den of cannibalism!"

Jiang Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all that remained in his eyes was a chilling light.

"I initially thought this was just a civil dispute."

"Now it seems this case definitely meets the criteria for a serious criminal case!"

Time passed second by second, and night gradually enveloped everything.

But the lights in the law firm's offices were on all night.

Jiang Chen didn't rest, repeatedly collecting clues.

The more things are uncovered, the more it proves the darkness of this nursing home!

Originally, this was just an ordinary dispute over a senior care service contract.

But now, it has become a shocking black case that spans three years and involves dozens of elderly people!

Chen Qiaowei stayed by her side the whole time; she had long since been unable to bear watching any longer.

"Jiang, let's gather the materials and call the police first thing tomorrow morning."

Chen Qiaowei's voice was hoarse.

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No rush, the evidence isn't complete yet."

"Surveillance footage can only prove the act of abandonment, but it cannot prove the full extent of their long-term, premeditated murder."

"There isn't enough evidence to completely dismantle the entire industry chain."

Jiang Chen didn't want the other party to lose a civil case once; he wanted to completely expose the entire black industry chain!

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, as soon as the law firm opened, someone came to visit.

The other party first explained their purpose to Chen Qiaowei. Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaowei did not dare to delay and immediately knocked on Jiang Chen's office door.

"Attorney Jiang, there's a young woman outside who says she wants to see you alone and it's urgent."

"She said... she's a caregiver at Anze Nursing Home!"

Inside the room, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he looked up instantly.

"Let her in!"

A few seconds later, a slightly thin figure walked in.

The girl looked to be in her early twenties and was wearing a simple, plain-colored sweatshirt.

His eyebrows and eyes were still youthful, and his face still showed the immaturity of a student.

Although it was morning, her eyes were bloodshot and her face was deathly pale.

It seems I didn't get a good night's rest.

Jiang Chen invited her to sit down and poured her a cup of hot water.

"Are you a caregiver at Anze Nursing Home? What can I do for you?"

Jiang Chen's voice was rather gentle.

This person doesn't seem to be there to exert pressure.

The other person mustered up their courage and began to introduce themselves.

"Hello, Attorney Jiang, my name is Su Nian..."

Jiang Chen quickly learned her identity.

Su Nian was a new caregiver at Anze Nursing Home who had only been working there for four months. She was also one of the staff members on duty that night to look after Mr. Zhou.

After graduating from university, she joined this seemingly high-end elderly care institution as a caregiver.

There are indeed hidden reasons behind Mr. Zhou's abandonment.

Gao Jianming publicly promised that as long as no one leaked the secret, everyone would receive a large hush money afterwards.

At the same time, they issued a stern warning: anyone who dares to leak even a single word of this information will not only have their salary wiped out but will also be permanently banned from employment.

He also intends to use his connections to make it impossible for him to stay in this city!

Almost all the long-term employees chose to remain silent and keep the secret.

But Su Nian suffered from insomnia every night and was tormented by it.

She thought that nursing homes were places where the elderly could spend their later years in peace.

Unexpectedly, such darkness existed inside the Anze Nursing Home!

Mr. Zhou usually enjoys chatting and joking with the caregivers; he has a gentle personality.

Unexpectedly, he ended up like this, almost freezing to death in the wilderness!

Su Nian was tormented by her conscience, especially after seeing Jiang Chen come to the nursing home to investigate and collect evidence, which made her make up her mind.

Even at the risk of retaliation, she was determined to expose this cannibalistic reality!

"Attorney Jiang..."

Su Nian sat at her desk, her voice trembling slightly.

"I...I know the truth, and I'm here to testify!"

Jiang Chen's expression softened slightly, and he slowly said, "Don't be afraid, speak slowly."

"You are safe here!"

This comforting remark instantly shattered Su Nian's psychological defenses.

She took a deep breath and then spoke firmly.

"Mr. Zhou's death was not an accident, no... it wasn't just Mr. Zhou."

"All the deaths and disappearances of elderly people were intentional!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was shocked.

That's exactly right!

"They have a set procedure, and they've done it more than ten times already!"

"The target is also very precise—they only choose elderly people who prepay three or five years' worth of high-cost nursing care fees!"

"After the elderly move in, the upper floors will quietly arrange for pharmacists to add low doses of sedative drugs to the elderly's meals and warm water every day."

"The dosage is small and won't kill immediately, but it will cause the elderly person to become lethargic, confused, and experience a rapid decline in bodily functions!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression changed once again.

did not expect……

Reality was even worse than he imagined!
