Once Upon A One Night Stand

In the end, Li Han took the stack of documents. He had no choice but to accept them.

Couldn't he claim innocence?

Yes, of course he could, but it would take everything of him. If he lost, he would ruin Shu Tian's life. He didn't dare to take the risk. If he himself were the client, he wouldn't have to be so afraid.

Once Li Han made a choice, things went on very quickly. It only took him a day and a half to get through the information. During this period of time, he did not care about affairs of the company and just focused on the case. He had never been in this state since he graduated from college.

The process was familiar to Li Han, so everything went very smoothly. He personally participated in every step. He was afraid that something would go wrong.

Li Han had never told Shu Tian about it, but after all, there were many people involved in the case, so the news spread quickly. Meng Shichuan also heard about it.

At that time, Meng Shichuan was sitting in a tall office building and overlooking the busy and crowded streets below. When he heard it, he only slightly raised his eyebrow and said, "After such a long time, I thought he must have a good way. Is that it?"

"Yes, Mr. Meng, but considering Li Han's social status, even if the court decides Shu Tian is guilty, she will be released on bail soon." The assistant said behind Meng Shichuan.

Meng Shichuan raised his hand to button the crystal buttons on his sleeve and turned around. He asked, "Why do you admit what you didn't do?"

Then, Meng Shichuan seemed to be amused and added, "I thought I wouldn't have a chance to go to the police station again. It seems that I have to go there one more time." The assistant was stunned and asked, "Mr. Meng, you mean..."

"Yes." Meng Shichuan answered and stopped smiling, "Tell Mr. Lin that I'm going to meet Shu Tian tonight." He looked more serious now.

The assistant quickly answered, "Okay, Mr. Meng."

Meng Shichuan looked out and stared thoughtfully at somewhere. "It's time to leave. We have stayed here for so long this time." [...]

At nine o' clock that night, Meng Shichuan appeared in Shu Tian's interrogation room as scheduled.

When a police officer unlocked the door, Shu Tian seemed to be startled and sat stright vigilantly. She looked at the door wearily.

When Shu Tian saw Meng Shichuan's face, she frowned immediately.

As expected, she overreacted.

Meng Shichuan didn't mind her "resistance" at all. He walked straight in and locked the police officer outside the door. He didn't talk to her frivolously or touch her like before. Instead, he sat down opposite her politely.

"We meet again, Miss Shu." This familiar opening lines and familiar people surrounded Shu Tian like nightmares.

Shu Tian's attitude was not so good. She sneered disdainfully and said, "It seems that Mr. Meng is very forgetful. You don't remember what you said two days ago."

She was referring to what Meng Shichuan said before he left, "I won't help you next time."

Hearing Shu Tian's words, Meng Shichuan lowered his eyes to hide his inexplicable loss. When he looked up, he regained his usual playfulness and coldness. "It seems that you really don't want to see me... But I'm afraid I can't stand by this time."

Shu Tian frowned and didn't want to talk to him much. "Mr. Meng, don't you understand when other people say no?"

"I know you've been waiting for Li Han to help you with this case, and I know the main situation of your case. You want to cliam innocence, don't you?" Meng Shichuan deliberately paused for a moment before saying the last two words.

Shu Tian was frightened and asked in shock, "How did you know?"

These things were relatively private, but Meng Shichuan seemed to know everything...

"I have my own way." He leaned a little to the left and sat more casually as if he were in a club. "Do you know what Li Han was doing while you were waiting for the victory?"

Shu Tian got nervous and retorted subconsciously, "What else can he do besides helping me?"

"Help you?" Meng Shichuan smiled briefly and took out his phone from his pocket. He put it in front of Shu Tian and said, "Look. That's how he helped you."

Shu Tian looked at the screen. She knew she shouldn't listen to Meng Shichuan, but she couldn't help but look down at the words on it.

It was a very simple and clear electronic document, with extremely detailed information about the case, including the signature of Li Han. It seemed authentic. Shu Tian studied law, and she knew it was not likely to fabricate this document.

She didn't read it very carefully. She just skimmed through it quickly and saw a few key words, but her mood became more and more gloomier.

Meng Shichuan watched Shu Tian slid the electronic document to the bottom. He knew that she had almost finished reading, so he leaned forward with his hands on the table and asked, "How do you feel?" Shu Tian did not speak. The hair on her forehead covered her face. After she read the whole document, there was one sentence which impressed her most.

"Considering the client's surrender, I hope the court can give a lighter sentence."

Surrender?

Her shoulders trembled. The door was closed, but she felt soo cold, as if the wind was rushing straight into her heart. "Impossible... This is impossible!" Shu Tian pushed the phone away. Her eyes widened uncontrollably and she got tense. Meng Shichuan glanced at his phone and put it back in his pocket. "If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask." His words made Shu Tian lose heart. Why? How could he say this so fearlessly?

"Li Han won't do that. He promised to help me clear my reputation. I will never plead guilty!" Shu Tian suddenly stood up from her chair excitedly as if she could not bear the atmosphere aymore. She turned to the door and shouted, "Sir, please take him out!"

Meng Shichuan narrowed his eyes and stood up. He walked to Shu Tian and put his hands on her shoulders, pressing her back into her seat. "Shu Tian, this is the reality. You have to face it."

This was the first time Meng Shichuan called her name, and he never spoke so seriously to her before.

The moment Shu Tian sat down, tears welled up in her eyes. The police officer heard the noise and immediately opened the door, but he stopped awkwardly when he saw what was going on inside. "Miss Shu, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Meng Shichuan glared at him. The police officer immediately shut up and stood at the door awkwardly.

"That's all I want to say. You can ask him about it. I came here today not to disgust you. I just want to tell you that if you want to leave..." Meng Shichuan leaned closer to Shu Tian and said in a low voice, "I can take you away regardless of the consequences."
