novelxo Chapter 249
Shu Tian was taken to the police station.
After Ling Junze finished a major operation, he got the news and rushed to the office without changing his clothes. Li Han was smoking desperately on the sofa with his head down. Ling Junze walked over quickly and grabbed him by the collar, "What happened?"
Li Han seemed to choke on the smoke. He coughed violently so that his face and eyes turned red. He dissipated the smoke and said in a hoarse voice, "Shu Tian called the police herself." Ling Junze was shocked and didn't move. In the end, he sat on the sofa in frustration, "I said that I can take the responsibility. Don't you believe me?"
Li Han opened his mouth and said helplessly, "She insisted on doing it cause she didn't want to implicate us."
Ling Junze expected it, but he was so grieved since it was beyond his expectation.
Ling Junze knew Shu Tian well. She looked delicate but she was strong. So Ling Junze could expect it, but he felt sad when he knew the result.
Ling Junze had long accepted Shu Tian.
She was taken away now. It was no good.
"Didn't you stop her? You just listened to her? You stupid!" Ling Junze said. He didn't believe that Li Han did not consider it.
"Junze, she is so stubborn and didn't tell me until she called. What can I do..." As Li Han spoke, he bent down and rested his elbows on his knees. He buried his face in his palms.
The warm liquid flowed between his fingers. How long didn't he cry? He even forgot when he cried the last time. He was heartbroken.
Ling Junze looked at Li Han and could not continue to complain. He could not believe that a woman could make such a choice, which no man could bear.
"It can't be her."
Li Han didn't move. It seemed that he could not hear anything.
Ling Junze lifted him up. He looked calm and said, "She went to the police station because she trust you. Li Han, cheer up. You still have a lot to do. Work hard to live up to her expectation!" "But..." He smiled wryly and repeated, "I cannot do it."
"I know how pained you are." Ling Junze's adam's apple rolled. He was depressed but he had to bear it. He said, "It will get better after you get through it. You've survived so many affairs. You can make it this time!"
Li Han was never rational about anything about Shu Tian. Ling Junze was afraid that Li Han would collapse so he reminded Li Han!
Li Han realized that he could not collapse. Shu Tian was waiting for him.
Li Han changed his expression for a moment, but he turned desperate soon, "Junze, I don't know where to start..."
Li Han had never shown the white feather before. He was strong and competitive. It was rare that he said that he didn't know what to do.
Ling Junze frowned, "What do you want to know?"
"Shu Tian didn't do it. Who do think it is?" He frankly said, "Is it Jiang Chujing?"
What choice could he make? One was his family member, while the other was his beloved woman.
"Han, you are my friend, so I can be frank with you." Ling Junze said with a complicated expression, "Judging from Jiang Chujing's situation, it is possible that she did something outrageous..."
"But she is Jiang Chujing, Zhang Lancheng's granddaughter." Li Han interrupted him, "I will believe it if she is anyone else."
He knew what Zhang Lancheng meant to Jiang Chujing. Zhang Lancheng was Jiang Chujing's only family in the world. Jiang Chujing could depend on nobody if Zhang Lancheng died.
Ling Junze was speechless. He believed in Shu Tian, but no one could say anything solidly before it was settled. Ling Junze could only comfort Li Han, "Let's cooperate with the police to check the surveillance and investigate Jiang Chujing's call records and her recent traces. The poison could not appear in the ward for no reason. Since someone did it, the evidence can be found."
Li Han hung his head and said nothing. He was depressed cause he could not make the choice. Later he finally recovered, "Get all the surveillance videos on the floor where Jiang Chujing was."
Ling Junze was happy when he found that Li Han was still rational. Ling Junze said, "Okay, no problem!"
Li Han clenched his fists with morale. He would definitely find the truth and prove that Shu Tian was innocent.
[...]
Shu Tian was not treated badly in the police station. She was in a single room. It was small and there were no windows. At least there were a chair and a table.
"Miss Shu, please wait here. We should abide by the rules. The staff will teach you later." The captain was polite. He didn't treat her fiercely.
Shu Tian forced a smile, "Okay, thank you."
"My pleasure."
The captain left with the police officers and she was the only one in the room. She looked at the white walls around and could not keep calm, but she was not so sad when she thought of the fact that Li Han was trying to help her.
As long as he was trying to help her, she could hold on.
There was no clock in the room and her phone was handed in. She didn't know what the time was. It seemed to be at a standstill. She could only hear her breathing.
Shu Tian was scared by the unexpected events and she was exhausted. She bent over the table and kept missing Li Han. She was so tired that she could not open her eyes. Soon she fell asleep.
At this moment, Meng Shichuan, who came after he got the news, was drinking tea in the director's office. He was watching the real-time monitoring of Shu Tian and did not speak.
"Mr. Meng, I'll have someone take you there now..."
"Not now." Meng Shichuan raised his hand to stop him. He stared at the woman in the real-time monitoring and said calmly, "Wait for a moment."
The director was confused. Meng Shichuan was in a hurry to see Shu Tian. Why did he change his mind?
Meng Shichuan's assistant knew Meng Shichuan well. Meng Shichuan didn't want to disturb her, so he would visit her after she woke up. But his assistant was surprised that Meng Shichuan was so gentle.
Meng Shichuan drank the tea on the sofa expressionlessly as if nothing had happened. And he looked around the room from time to time. He could take her out of such a standard police station in a few minutes if he was abroad. It was so troublesome here.
