"How would I know that these doctors... would actually do such things for money?" He hung his head, seemingly struck by the revelation.
Zhang Wei looked at Yu Gao and clearly sensed his dejection. He then said, "Don’t worry. Now that you’ve found , I’ll do my best to defend them."
Yu Gao nodded. "I certainly trust Lawyer Zhang."
After five doctors from his hospital were detained, their families had all approached him, asking for help in finding a lawyer. Left with no choice, he had to bite the bullet and personally visit the law firm. The person he sought was, naturally, Zhang Wei, currently the most prominent lawyer in Jin City.
"Tell the details of this case. What exactly triggered it, and what specific cris are these five doctors suspected of?" Zhang Wei decided to first understand the general situation.
This case... involved criminal activities in the dical field. It also included official misconduct. It might get quite troubleso.
Yu Gao swallowed. "It apparently started when soone reported Han Dongting..." He proceeded to recount everything he knew. "It’s unclear who initiated the report, but it triggered a chain reaction. The rest of the hospital staff were screened, and besides Han Dongting, four others were found to possess substantial unexplained wealth. Coincidentally, these individuals all held very specific positions. Each of them owned luxury cars and villas, living an extrely lavish lifestyle, far more ostentatious than him, the current director."
"What kind of sentence... might they receive?" Yu Gao couldn’t help but ask after finishing his account.
He wasn’t actually very concerned about the sentence itself. What he cared about was... how much impact this incident would have on their hospital. If the sentences were severe, then the impact would undoubtedly be detrintal.
"The length of the sentence mainly depends on the monetary amount involved," Zhang Wei said seriously after a mont’s thought.
As it stands, the charges mainly include possession of large amounts of property from unknown sources, embezzlent, and bribery, among others.
"Your hospital’s doctors... they couldn’t have embezzled that much money, right?" he then asked.
Yu Gao’s expression soured. ntioning this, he felt incredibly aggrieved. He said despondently, "The Prosecutor’s Office found at least two houses and two cars registered under each of their nas."
Zhang Wei was startled. "That’s not a lot of money. These days, many people own two properties, and cars aren’t necessarily luxury items."
Yu Gao sighed and corrected him, "Their houses are top-tier villas in Jin City District, and the cars... they’re each worth over three million."
As soon as Yu Gao finished speaking, Zhang Wei’s eyes widened again. "What?"
"I estimate... each of them has assets worth at least fifteen million. Yet their salaries aren’t even as high as mine; the highest earner among them makes only thirty thousand a month," Yu Gao analyzed, his face a mask of resignation.
Zhang Wei: "..."
It took him more than ten seconds to process this explosive news.
He had thought that, as his law firm grew and business bood, he was hardly a poor man anymore. But compared to these five... his money could only be considered paltry. They casually owned two villas each and drove top-of-the-line luxury sports cars.
"According to the classifications for cris of official misconduct, an amount exceeding three million is considered exceptionally large, indicating severe circumstances." Looking at Yu Gao’s complicated expression, Zhang Wei continued, "The sentences for all five of them will likely be ten years or more—to be precise, over fifteen years."
These cris... The sentencing range is over ten years of fixed-term imprisonnt. But they had far exceeded the stipulated amounts by a huge margin. With illicit gains exceeding ten million, they would be sentenced to at least fifteen years. All five of them... a collective sentence of over fifteen years. This is, without a doubt, a massive case!
"Fifteen years?!" Upon hearing this, Yu Gao felt his vision go black.
His first instinct was that it was all over. Everything was ruined.
