Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 502 - 208: Calculating the Sentence at the Scene, 15-Year Sentence_3

But they didn’t really believe it.

However, now that Shen Dao had spoken and confirmed the news, its credibility was entirely different.

This meant they might all end up in prison. From advocating for their rights, they had become criminal suspects. The fall was just too steep.

"Take them all away."

Shen Dao, however, ignored their requests and directly ordered his men to wrap things up. He then turned to Qin Mu and Yu Gao, saying, "One of you come back with me to give a statement."

On one hand, Qin Mu and Yu Gao were both witnesses. On the other, Qin Mu was the one who had reported the incident, and Yu Gao was the person in charge.

「Two hours later.」

Outside the entrance of the Jin City Police Station, Qin Mu and Yu Gao walked out.

"This time... we really owe it to Mr. Qin for calling the police."

Yu Gao looked at Qin Mu, his expression rather complex. After arriving at the police station, he discovered that Qin Mu seemed very familiar with this particular station; many people there knew him and even greeted him warmly.

It seemed... Qin Mu was a regular at this station.

Furthermore, Qin Mu was very familiar with the procedure for giving statements. In contrast, he appeared quite unaccustomed to the process, often needing reminders from the police officers.

"No need to thank me. Anyone who witnesses criminal activity has an obligation to report and stop it. I’m just an ordinary, concerned citizen," Qin Mu waved it off, smiling as he spoke.

Yu Gao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then let out a dry laugh.

What a goddamn ’concerned citizen.’ Qin Mu’s actions... would put Sanhe Hospital under tremendous public pressure. With the police involved this time, it would certainly hit the news. Who knew how the media might spin the story about their hospital?

Then, as if recalling something, he added, "By the way, Mr. Qin, are you interested... in becoming our hospital’s legal consultant?"

Having personally experienced this medical disturbance, he suddenly felt that his hospital truly needed a legal consultant. In fact, many hospitals nowadays have their own legal consultants. But he used to think legal consultants were merely for show and not very useful. Even when faced with medical disturbances, these legal consultants mostly just paid lip service.

But Qin Mu’s performance this time... had truly shocked him.

A brilliant legal consultant could treat medical disturbances as if they were nothing. This particular incident had lasted less than two hours in total before it ended abruptly. The medical disturbances he’d encountered before had each lasted at least several months and were extremely difficult to resolve. But this time... there probably wouldn’t be any follow-up. The main instigators of the disturbance, along with the crowd they had gathered, had all been taken away. According to Qin Mu, they were suspected of five major crimes and could very likely face fifteen years of imprisonment! The situation had been resolved with such ease.

"Legal consultant?"

Qin Mu paused, then immediately declined, "Sorry, I don’t have my lawyer’s practicing certificate yet."

His practicing certificate wouldn’t arrive for another two months. Even when it did, he would only have intern status, which prohibited him from practicing law independently.

Besides, one thing at a time. He had stood up and helped call the police because he couldn’t stand criminal behavior disguised as rights advocacy. However, regarding the situation Su Yongnian faced, he still needed to advocate for rights where they were due. If he became Sanhe Hospital’s legal consultant... wouldn’t he end up suing himself and then defending himself?

"No practicing certificate?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Gao couldn’t hide his disappointment and regret. Before leaving, he handed Qin Mu his business card, saying, "This is my card. If you... get your practicing certificate, please feel free to contact me anytime."

For a talent like Qin Mu... he was quite desperate. The medical industry was prone to disputes and conflicts. If they had a reliable lawyer like Qin Mu, the hospital would face far fewer problems. At the very least... others would have to think twice before causing trouble in the future.

「Four o’clock in the afternoon.」

Qin Mu returned to the nursing home after giving his statement. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Qingyuan, Su Yongnian, and the others gathered around him.

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Wang said you had those rights advocates taken away! What happens next? Fifteen years? Will they really get fifteen years?"

"Xiao Wang’s description was so vivid! It’s a pity we weren’t there."

"I heard their hospital director went too. Is he locked up now?"

"I bet he is..."

Everyone was chattering excitedly, each adding their own comments. They had learned about the day’s events at the hospital from Wang Dachui, and now they were filled with immense regret and bitter disappointment. They regretted missing out on all the excitement. So many onlookers, and they hadn’t been among them!

Moreover, they were very concerned about Yu Gao’s fate. After all... Yu Gao was the hospital’s director, and in their eyes, the main culprit.

"AHEM. He didn’t get locked up," Qin Mu listened to their inquiries, his expression darkening. He then explained, "Even if you report the deliberate overpricing of medicine, it’s useless. Advocating for rights is one thing, but one must still distinguish right from wrong. Take, for instance, the unnamed knife-wielding man encountered this time. His violent method of ’advocacy’ would only land him in prison. The problem Old Su faced is similar. Advocacy also needs to be approached correctly."

"Reporting it is useless? I heard from Xiao Wang that he took the prescription to that pharmacy to buy medicine, but the pharmacist refused to sell it to him."

"Exactly! I think that pharmacy owner has a guilty conscience. He said that if you want to buy the medicine, you have to leave the prescription slip."
