Chapter 1554: Showing Off a Sword in Front of Guan Gong
The land west of Anhe Bridge was previously used as a biopharmaceutical factory. Just as the framework was formed, Li Xiangnan was transferred to the prison to investigate the poisoning case of Shen Yujing.
When he was in prison, Lei Jin wrote a letter saying that the construction at the pharmaceutical factory was suddenly stopped. At that time, Taozi was called by her family and went to Beidaihe to rescue people!
"When did it happen? What kind of snake infestation is so serious?"
Li Xiangnan is really weird.
Taozi just came back from Beidaihe, how come he suddenly encountered this incident again?
It was as if someone had calculated when she would come back!
"Just now!" Taozi stamped her feet anxiously, her eyes instantly red. "I was just taken to the construction site by the Beidaihe car, and I was thinking of checking to see if there was any problem, but a group of people showed up right after!"
"What happened just now?" Li Xiangnan frowned suddenly.
Jiang Qitao nodded quickly, "Yes, they're under the banner of the 'District Health and Epidemic Prevention Joint Working Group'! The leader is named Sun, has triangular eyes, and his words can choke people to death!
They were holding an 'emergency notice' with a red stamp on it, saying that when they were digging the foundation near our factory, they disturbed the 'snake king's nest' underground, and several highly venomous 'mountain snakes' came out and bit two workers!
They said the situation was "extremely dangerous" and "seriously threatening the lives of patients at the neighboring Nianwei Hospital and surrounding residents," and ordered us to immediately suspend work indefinitely for rectification!
All construction machinery and materials, including the newly laid foundation, must be sealed! All the workers have been sent home! Three days! Just three days to come up with a plan to 'completely eliminate the snake infestation,' or we will forcibly reclaim the land and permanently close the operation!"
Taozi finished speaking in one breath, her chest heaving violently. It was obvious that the worry and fear along the way had tortured her a lot.
Li Xiangnan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. "Cross the mountain? King cobra?"
"Brother Xiangnan, you know, that place is right next to the foot of the mountain, with a river in front. There used to be snakes there, but they were only grass snakes and rat snakes, with a single short-tailed pit viper at most! 'Over the mountain'?
That's something you only find in the deep mountains and forests of the south! How could it possibly make its home here? And the snake king's lair? That's ridiculous! But they... they actually brought in a worker bitten by a snake!
His arm was swollen, and he was unconscious. He said he was bitten by a snake called "Guo Shan Feng"! He even showed me a photo and published it in the district's internal newsletter! Now the rumor is going viral: our factory's land is a "snake den" and unlucky! Many vendors near Nianwei Hospital are also very nervous, and some nearby residents have even contacted the street office several times to complain!
Li Xiangnan's heart sank.
These things are too coincidental. If they are taken one by one, they will not attract attention, but once they are piled together, they seem abnormal.
There are poisoned workers, related photos, internal briefings from the street, and various public opinions on the street. These things are so "perfect", as if they were prepared in advance!
In Lenovo Hospital, Gong Pingwei’s emergency department medical dispute incident occurred. Li Xiangnan suddenly felt that there must be something fishy going on!
When there are too many coincidences, we have to realize that this is an inevitable event!
Is someone messing with themselves again?
And this time, they are targeting his own pharmaceutical factory?
Damn it, I finally have the time and free time to arrange the establishment of the pharmaceutical factory, and now I’m being targeted again?
Moreover, this move is much more severe than the previous incident where Yanda Imaging Building and Nianwei Hospital were ordered to close down!
This time, they directly labeled it as "threatening public safety", and it is located in such a sensitive area as a hospital!
The factory was shut down and ordered to make corrections within a specified period of three days, otherwise it would be closed permanently!
This is simply cutting off the source of the problem!
And the timing was so perfect, Taozi was distracted as soon as he started to take action?
If she hadn't come back early, she probably wouldn't have witnessed this incident at all!
And there was a worker who was "bitten by a snake"?
It would be strange if there is no conspiracy behind this!
Considering Shen Yujing's case, the mysterious Baihezhou, and the recent medical dispute in the emergency department... Li Xiangnan smelled a strong conspiracy.
"Where is the worker who was bitten? Which hospital is he in?" Li Xiangnan's voice turned cold.
"It's right here at Xinghua Hospital! I went over to take a look, and there were people from the work group guarding it. They didn't allow outsiders to visit, saying it was to 'protect the scene' and 'prevent panic'!" Taozi gritted her teeth, "I wanted to save people right there, but they wouldn't let me. If I hadn't been smart enough to follow..."
It's really like showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong!
All the snake doctors from the Qimen Jiang family are here, but they actually came to her and said that the construction site had to be closed because of an overcrowding of snake nests. How ridiculous!
"Oh, protecting the scene?" Li Xiangnan's eyes flashed coldly. "Taozi, let's go! To Xinghua Hospital! I want to see the severity of the wound caused by this 'Guoshanfeng' bite! You, the snake doctor of the Qimen Jiang family, are just the right person to give them a 'consultation'!"
Li Xiangnan's calmness and awe-inspiring aura calmed Jiang Qitao's panicked heart like a stabilizing force.
She nodded vigorously and grabbed the medicine box: "Let's go!"
The two rushed to the emergency department of Xinghua Hospital, and were stopped in the corridor by two working group members wearing red armbands and looking vigilant.
"Stop! What are you doing? There is an important patient inside, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!" One of them shouted with a stern face.
Li Xiangnan pulled out his ID and snapped it open. His voice was quiet but penetrating. "Criminal Investigation Consultant of the Municipal Bureau, Li Xiangnan. I've received a report regarding a snake bite incident at the Qiaoxi Pharmaceutical Factory in Anhe, and I'm here to investigate. This is Comrade Jiang Qitao, a snake doctor and descendant of the Qimen Jiang family. He has professional experience in treating venomous snake bites. Please cooperate!"
"Criminal Investigation Consultant? Qimen Jiang Family?"
The two staff members were obviously shocked by the title and name, and looked at each other in surprise.
The Qimen Jiang family's reputation is a well-known golden sign in the snake medicine business.
At this moment, the door of a nearby office opened, and Section Chief Sun, with the triangular eyes, walked out with his hands behind his back. Seeing Li Xiangnan and Taozi, a barely perceptible panic flashed across his triangular eyes, and then he put on a businesslike expression: "Advisor Li? Doctor Jiang? This is the area under the responsibility of the working group, and the investigation is underway. The injured need to rest, you..."
"Section Chief Sun, right?" Li Xiangnan interrupted him directly, his eyes sharp as a knife. "The injured need to rest, but more importantly, they need professional treatment and injury assessment! I am a consultant to the Municipal Bureau and have the authority to intervene in investigations involving public safety incidents.
Comrade Jiang Qitao is a leading snake doctor and the technical director of the pharmaceutical factory! Both publicly and privately, we all have the right and responsibility to understand the truth!
What, do you want to obstruct the legitimate investigation, or is it that... this injury is shameful to show to others?"
Li Xiangnan's words were full of sarcasm and imposing, which directly choked Section Chief Sun.
There were already medical staff and patients' families around looking over curiously.
"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" Section Chief Sun's face flushed. "We are just following the procedures!"
"Follow the procedure?" Li Xiangnan sneered, his voice suddenly rising. "What a good way to follow the procedure! Without any identification by an authoritative snake doctor, you have determined it was a bite from a 'mountain peak' based solely on your one-sided statement, and then closed down a legal pharmaceutical factory indefinitely? This procedure is full of loopholes in my opinion!
Today, either let us go in and examine the injured, and have Comrade Jiang Qitao conduct a professional assessment; or, I will immediately call the Municipal Bureau and request a formal investigation! Let's see if anyone here is negligent in their duties or even framing someone!"
The four words "open a case for investigation" hit Section Chief Sun's heart like a heavy hammer.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
He was just a small-time employee, how could he withstand the police's intervention and investigation? Especially since the other party was a consultant to the Municipal Bureau!
"You... stop accusing me of something!" Section Chief Sun looked fierce but was actually weak.
"We'll know if it's a smear campaign or not after we investigate!" Li Xiangnan refused to budge, his eyes stern, "Get out of the way!"
