Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 257



The police quickly found that Jiang Mengyao had shown up outside the hospital. Coincidentally, she showed up on the day Zhang Lancheng died. This aroused her suspicion. Of course, there were no other records. But it was essential to know that she was around the hospital at that time.

But it was hard to find her if she was hiding in a remote place. They had to wait.

Jiang Chujing learned the news a day later, not from Jiang Mengyao, but from the people who had been sent to follow her.

"Miss Jiang, your target is exposed." A call from a strange number said with a very cold voice, a professional assassin hired by Jiang Chujing.

"Are you sure?!" Hearing the news, Jiang Chujing stood up from her chair and asked, "When did it happen?!"

"These days. Someone started investigating." The man's words were very concise. "What? Do you want to do it or not?"

Jiang Chujing's mind was in a mess for a moment. She didn't know how Jiang Mengyao exposed herself, but who else could investigate her except Li Han?

The thought that Li Han would know about this immediately made her nervous. She could not be exposed. If Li Han knew that she did everything, she would definitely be screwed! Jiang Chujing held her breath. "Do it."

"Well, wouldn't it have been so troublesome if you gave the order before?" The man was about to hang up.

"Wait!" Jiang Chujing said hurriedly, "Don't kill her. Just make her speechless so that she can't identify me."

"Miss Jiang, it's not that I can't do this, but it's inhumane. Now, if you want to do it, I can do it neatly. If you don't want to do it, I'm also afraid of getting into trouble..."

"I'll give you more money." Jiang Chujing breathed a little fast, and it was not hard to see how nervous she was. "Do it as soon as possible. Don't delay. I would give you more."

Only then did the man let go with satisfaction. "Since Miss Jiang said so, I'm relieved. I'll do it for you."

"Yes." Before hanging up, Jiang Chujing added, "Be careful."

Looking at the screen of the phone while the call was ended, Jiang Chujing could not calm down for a long time. If she had known that Jiang Mengyao would cause trouble, she should have done it long ago! The only thing she wanted now was to hurry up and cripple Jiang Mengyao before Li Han could find her.

Because of this, Jiang Chujing was a little uneasy. Jiang Mengyao and she were so careful. How could they be exposed?

She was so confused that she never expected that Tang Zechen would tell Shu Tian about that.

At first, Jiang Chujing had planned to use two days thinking about it. She wanted to delay it. After all, she couldn't be too active since Zhang Lancheng was dead. What was worse, something happened like that. Li Han might have other purposes to be with her.

Jiang Chujing clenched her hands tightly. She was the only one who knew how much she wanted to get that man, but she couldn't take any risks. Jiang Mengyao had been exposed and would be found sooner or later.

Instead of letting Shu Tian out and being a threat to her at all times, it would be better for her to stay inside for rest of her life.

After making up his mind, Jiang Chujing took out the phone she usually used from the drawer and dialed Li Han's number. The phone rang for a while before it was picked up, "Hello."

"Han!" Jiang Chujing walked to the window with her phone and tried to make her voice sound calm. "I thought about what you said to me to help Shu Tian, but I couldn't accept it. I can't let grandma down for my own wish!"

Jiang Chujing spoke very righteously as if she was really a filial daughter.

Li Han's voice, on the other hand, was cold as ice without any emotion. "Think about it again..."

"No, I don't have to. I've already thought it through. I won't let her get away with that. It's a life. She was a close relative of mine. You should forget that."

Her refusal was an unexpected move to Li Han. He had thought Jiang Chujing would promise him in the end, but he didn't expect... She did that in the end.

If Jiang Chujing refused his request, Shu Tian might lose the lawsuit. This was his last chance to turn the tables.

Thinking of that, Li Han let go of all her emotions and almost begged, "Chujing, I hope you can think about it. I can give you whatever you want."

"I meant it. I'm sorry, Han. I can't do it." After that, Jiang Chujing hung up the phone without waiting for his response. In fact, she couldn't stand it anymore since she was quite guilty.

In order to get rid of Shu Tian, she was willing to put everything on it even what she wanted the most. What she was most afraid of was that Shu Tian would come out again, and she would cause endless trouble in the future.

However, it made things worse for Li Han. He had already put all his eggs in one basket. Now that he received such a response, there was really only one way left.

Shu Tian had to plead guilty, then asked the court to give her a light sentence, and then she could try to bail her out through his connections.

But the same price had to be paid. First of all, he should persuade her. Secondly, she might not be able to do any work related to law. She might not even be able to get involved in this industry. She could be bailed out, but this stain would take a lifetime to bear.

His heart ached at the thought, not to mention that he had to face her.

Ji Chuanyi was led in by the secretary after the meeting. As soon as he got closer, he saw he was gloomy. These days, they all had been worried about Shu Tian, not to mention how frustrated Li Han was. "Han, have you decided what to do? We can't delay it any longer. It's not good for us to spend too much time on planning."

The man's adam's apple moved. "There's no news from Jiang Mengyao for the time being."

Ji Chuanyi nodded and placed the choice in front of him again. "So... What do you want to do?"

Sooner or later, what should come would come, and they still had to face what they supposed to face.

Although making this decision was like cutting his heart open with a knife, Li Han still had to face this bloody reality. His eyes were bloodshot with anger as he said with difficulty, "Where's the information for pleading guilty?"

Hearing this, Ji Chuanyi understood his decision and handed him the things he had prepared. "These include everything."

Li Han looked at the pile of documents. His hand was so heavy as it weigh a thousand pounds. He tried to lift it, but it was as if he had been held down by someone.

Because he knew very well that this was not only information but also Shu Tian's future and fate.
