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

Su Nian took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"If an elderly person in our nursing home becomes critically ill, the nursing home will absolutely not send them to the hospital for emergency treatment; we will only drag it out and let the condition worsen."

"Once the elderly are completely weak and unable to move, they will arrange a special bus in the middle of the night to quietly take them outside and abandon them!"

"In the past, none of the elderly people who were thrown out were ever found; they all froze to death or died of illness in the wild."

"Once the family receives notification from the nursing home that the elderly person has gone missing or died unexpectedly, they immediately pull out that unfair contract, refusing to refund a single penny and directly swallowing up the hundreds of thousands of yuan in remaining care fees for the elderly person's next few years!"

After he finished speaking, the office fell into a deathly silence.

It turns out that all the accidents were actually part of a meticulously planned murder!

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a chilling light as he pressed on in a deep voice, "Is this the same procedure for Mr. Zhou?"

"yes!"

Su Nian nodded emphatically.

"Grandpa Zhou is a very kind person. He is usually very gentle and often jokes with us."

"He only had mild post-stroke sequelae, and his movements were slow, but his consciousness remained clear."

"After being admitted to the hospital, he was secretly given medication, and in just a few months, he quickly became weak and frail."

"I was on duty that night, around midnight. I watched as the car from the nursing home took Grandpa Zhou away. I thought he was definitely not going to make it. But when I found out he was saved, and saw you going to the nursing home to collect evidence, I finally mustered up the courage to come here..."

After saying that, Su Nian trembled as she pulled a crumpled list from her canvas bag.

The handwriting on it was neat, recording a string of names and check-in dates.

This also includes all prepaid fees and the "processing" time.

"This is an internal list that I secretly copied down. It contains all the elderly people in the facility who have been disposed of in this way in recent years."

"There are twelve in total, each of whom prepaid a large annual fee, and none of them will live more than six months!"

Jiang Chen took the list, looked at the names on it, and unconsciously tightened his grip.

Surprisingly, the exact number is even greater than the number disclosed by the nursing home!

Twelve elderly people, twelve lives lost!

They've all become victims of nursing homes' profiteering!

After a moment of silence, Su Nian suddenly looked puzzled and spoke softly.

"Attorney Jiang, there's something I still can't figure out."

"I can understand why the hospital used unfair terms to pocket the remaining nursing fees."

"But I've seen how many families handle this situation. Even when they know the contract terms are unreasonable, very few families take the initiative to hold the company accountable or demand a refund."

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars disappeared just like that, without even a single question being raised..."

"I've never understood why this is..."

How could the remaining hundreds of thousands of yuan in nursing fees just be thrown away?

Even without going through legal proceedings, one should still try to get some of it back.

It's impossible to give all the money to nursing homes.

This isn't charity work.

These words made Jiang Chen's eyes narrow slightly.

He had several guesses in his mind, but there was no evidence to support them.

"This... there might be a deeper reason. Either the nursing home has a lot of power behind it, or..."

Jiang Chen did not voice another conjecture.

I really hope things aren't as he thinks.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen put away the list and looked up at Su Nian.

"Thank you. This is crucial evidence. You will be able to clear the names of all the wronged elderly people."

Su Nian rubbed the hem of her clothes with her hand and asked cautiously.

"Attorney Jiang, if there's a trial later, I won't need to be a witness, right?"

Her tone was timid, and anyone with eyes could tell what she was afraid of.

If she identifies the nursing home in court, she will definitely suffer retaliation from Gao Jianming afterwards!

If he can't get revenge on Jiang Chen, can't he at least get revenge on a recent college graduate like her?

"Need not."

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.

"To protect your personal safety, I will keep your information confidential throughout the process."

Jiang Chen would never do something like crossing the river and then burning the bridge.

Su Nian helped him a lot, so he also had to take care of Su Nian's personal safety.

"Attorney Jiang, thank you!"

Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

With Jiang Chen's assurance, she could leave safely.

The office door was gently closed.

After Su Nian left, Chen Qiaowei, having just finished processing a few documents at the front desk, also went into her office.

As soon as she entered the office, she saw Jiang Chen sitting in a chair with a solemn expression, as if something important had happened.

"Jiang Lu, the girl who came to see you just now has already left."

"How did the talks go? Did you get any new leads?"

As Chen Qiaowei closed the office door, she casually asked.

Jiang Chen raised his head and slowly recounted what Su Nian had just said.

There were no flaws from beginning to end.

From secretly administering low-dose sedatives to nursing homes, to abandoning frail elderly people on deserted national highways late at night, to that internal list recording the names of twelve elderly victims.

As she listened to Jiang Chen's story, the relaxed expression on Chen Qiaowei's face gradually faded.

Her mouth slowly opened, and her face turned slightly pale.

After hearing the whole truth, she gasped in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"My God... I can't believe this even happened!"

When she first took on this case, she thought it was just a civil dispute over negligence in nursing home care.

At most, it would be a breach of contract and compensation for losses.

No one could have imagined that behind this was a series of heinous crimes that claimed twelve lives!

"The surveillance footage of the van that we obtained from the orchard can only prove that they abandoned Mr. Zhou that night."

Jiang Chen spoke slowly.

"We now have three key pieces of irrefutable evidence in our possession."

"First, the orchard's surveillance footage showed the nursing home's vehicle arriving at the abandonment site late at night."

"Secondly, Su Nian's witness testimony fully details the entire shady operation process of the nursing home."

"Third, this secretly copied list of elderly victims."

The three pieces of evidence are placed together and corroborate each other, thus completely closing the loop on the clues!

Chen Qiaowei felt a chill run down her spine.

"What about the previous civil lawsuit..."

"The civil lawsuit is now closed!"

Jiang Chen interrupted her directly, his tone extremely firm.

"This case is no longer an ordinary dispute over a senior care service contract."

"The nursing home knew that the harsh environment in the remote wilderness meant that frail and elderly people had almost no chance of survival after being abandoned, yet they still actively abandoned the elderly, subjectively allowing the deaths to occur. This constitutes suspected intentional homicide!"

"A civil lawsuit can no longer resolve the issue."

There is only one way to make the nursing home and Gao Jianming pay the price for all the past victims!

Criminal investigation has been initiated!
