Liu Qiao, seeing the prosecutors remain silent, continued to defend himself, "I always abide by the law and pay my taxes in full, never a cent short. In my spare time, I also donate medication to hospitals and give money to impoverished children in the mountains. I'm just an ordinary pharmacy owner..."

They said coldly, "Don't play dumb here. We've brought you in to discuss your collusion with Han Dongting, illegally selling overpriced medication. Someone reported that you were colluding and giving kickbacks to Han Dongting every month. You must know best where Han Dongting's enormous wealth comes from."
