Once Upon A One Night Stand

Landline phone, bookcase, documents on the table, crystal ashtray... Were all scattered on the ground, and many glass fragments were beside his feet, depicting a shocking picture.

The one responsible was half-reclined on the sofa, with messy hair and an ashen face, wearing the same shirt he was wearing when he left the hospital two days ago, and he was extremely slatternly. Ling Junze had never seen him lose control like this and couldn't help but worry. "What exactly happened?"

Li Han seemed to lose his voice. He opened his mouth but could not make a sound, only holding a sad and helpless smile.

Ling Junze's eyes were also cold down, holding a bad intuition. "What else happened to Shu Tian?"

He had never seen anyone else who could break Li Han down like this except Shu Tian.

Sure enough, hearing the name, the man on the sofa finally moved. He sat up straight but bent down quickly. His every movement was filled with pain. Ling Junze did not urge him but stood beside and silently accompanied him.

After waiting for a long time, Li Han finally spoke. "I spent two whole days checking the surveillance. I looked at every part and check every scene over and over again, but I couldn't find anything fishy. That bottle of poisonous liquid was indeed brought in by Shu Tian, which was in her isolation suit. I couldn't see what Jiang Chujing had done. There was nothing suspicious about her movements. The surveillance cameras had blind spots, and nothing could be found..."

He was almost incoherent, but Ling Junze understood that Shu Tian could most likely be proved to have done this. Although they all knew it was not her, there was no way to prove her innocence.

"The police have contacted me. The fingerprints on the injection were belong to her. No one else had touched it." As he spoke, Li Han swept the things on the table down again. His hard fist pounded on the glass causing a crack, and he roared like a wounded beast. "Ah!"

"... Is there no trace at all?" Ling Junze still couldn't believe it. If it wasn't Shu Tian, who could have done this? It must be someone inside the hospital, or else that person wouldn't have known the location of the security camera so well.

But with the size of Ling's Hospital, it was not easy to find evidence.

He now understood Li Han's mood and didn't even know how to comfort Li Han.

There was no empathy in this world. You never knew how much pain it was if the needle didn't go into your body.

"Junze, I want to see her and bring her home. I know she did not do it. I believe in her, but I can't find any evidence..." He grabbed his hair regretfully, and he almost had a nervous breakdown. Such a blow was unprecedented in Li Han's life before.

He had helped many people out of their predicament, and he had won many difficult lawsuits, but now he had a setback in the issue related to Shu Tian. The most crucial point was that he could not afford to fall at this setback.

"Don't worry. There's always a way." Apart from such a weak sentence, Ling Junze did not know what else he could say.

This proud and arrogant man burst into tears again, crying for the woman he loved.

"I won't hand her over, absolutely not."

Ling Junze did not take Li Han's words to heart. The issue was no longer under their control, but he never expected Li Han to do this...

Two days later, Li Han went straight to the police station after finishing his work at the company. Instead of meeting Shu Tian, he went straight into the director's office.

"Mr. Li, this is the latest progress. We've already communicated with Miss Shu. She refused to admit what she did, and what she said was very different from what the other parties described. The point is that now all the direct evidence is against her. It's very complicated for us to deal with it now..." The director's expression was not as relaxed as the last time Li Han came.

Li Han had expected it and remained his expression. "As long as Mr. Lin doesn't make things difficult for her, I won't make things difficult for you."

"That's for sure. The court hasn't ruled yet, and we don't have the right to embarrass Miss Shu!"

"I have something to tell Mr. Lin today." Li Han adjusted his clothes. "Although the evidence is not good for her now, I will still be Shu Tian's lawyer."

This was undoubtedly a bombshell. Director Li was shocked. Although he had known about Li Han and Miss Shu's relationship, this issue was unusual and involved human life. Moreover, the situation was so bad now. He thought Li Han should not be involved in this mess. He did not expect...

The director mutter, could there be other variables?

Anyway, no matter what, this Miss Shu must have a good treat.

The two of them chatted for a while more. Director Li knew what Li Han was coming for and quickly took him to the interrogation room where Shu Tian was.

When the door opened, Shu Tian was looking down in a daze and had no reaction about it. Li Han stood in front of her, looking at her growing thin chin, and was heartbroken.

Her skin was naturally fair, so when she didn't have a good rest, the dark circles under her eyes became even more obvious. Dry skin also appeared on her pink lips. She had worn out a lot in four days.

Shu Tian was still in a daze. She thought that another police officer had come in and wanted to ask something. After waiting for a long time, she did not see anyone sitting down. So she looked up and was suddenly in a blank.

The face which kept appearing in her mind appeared in front of her. He was still so tall and handsome, although the fatigue hanging in his brows was very heavy.

Once he stood there, everything became the background.

She looked at him obsessively, unwilling to blink anymore, afraid that he would disappear the next second. How many days had passed since she last saw him? Four days?

Shu Tian thought about it, her tears were already flowing down, and she couldn't help but choke. "Why are you here so late..."

She had been waiting for him for days and the days passed like years, why was he here so late?

Li Han felt as if he had been punched in the heart, and his eyes turned red. "I'm sorry, I can't take you back yet."

Shu Tian shook her head, laughing and crying as she wiped her tears, looking like a psychopath. She was not beautiful at all now, but he couldn't move his eyes away. "It's good that you come."

As long as she knew that he was by her side, she was relieved.

Li Han took a deep breath to calm the surging emotions, pulled out the chair opposite her, and sat down. He looked at her face to face, with the tenderness in his eyes melting her.

"Don't be afraid." Li Han clung to the cold little hands on the table. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side and share the burden with you."

Hearing this, Shu Tian's heart did a complete somersault. "The case...didn't go well?"

She asked him tentatively, the carefulness in her eyes made him heartbroken. She was the one who did nothing wrong.

Li Han avoided her gaze. He couldn't tell the truth and could only fill it with lies. "Don't worry, I will help you."

Shu Tian believed him completely and did not doubt him at all. Finally, a smile blossomed on her face. "That's great."

She suddenly remembered Meng Shichuan. "Han..."

"Yes?" He looked over with concern. "What's wrong?"

Shu Tian hesitated. She paused when meeting his bloodshot eyes. He was already so tired, so she didn't want to burden him anymore. Anyway, Meng Shichuan had said that he would not come again. Finally, she swallowed the words. "Nothing."

Li Han thought she was letting her imagination run away with her. He held her in his arms and held up her thin little face with his big palm. "I'll be with you."

Shu Tian looked at him affectionately. "I know."

They hadn't seen each other for a few days. Both of them missed each other deeply. Although the location was not appropriate, Li Han still couldn't control it but leaned over and kissed the woman's dry lips. He gently and comfortingly outlined her lips.

Shu Tian had never wanted someone so badly. She pulled the man's neck down and tiptoed close to him, melting the fear and yearning of the past few days into this kiss.
