Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 254

Ji Chuanyi saw through what he was thinking and understood why he was in much pain. He sat down

on the sofa next to him and handed him a paper, on which were the procedures needed. He said,

"Since we have to go to court, we must choose the safest one. If we act on impulse, we may do harm

to Shu Tian in the end."

Li Han didn't say anything. He reached out for a cigarette and lit it. He had been smoking a lot recently.

"It's not easy to win in Shu Tian's case, so we have to prepare for the worst result. But if we plead guilty

and have a good attitude, we may let her be mitigated, then we could do our best to bail her out..."

Hearing this, Li Han frowned and closed his eyes, and said, "She studies law and is ready to do legal

work. If there is a stain on her file, it will be difficult for her to develop in this industry in the future. There

will be no chance for her anymore."

Who would be willing to find a lawyer with a criminal record?

Ji Chuanyi was silent. Yes, he forgot that after all, Shu Tian was a lawyer.

"There has to be a choice." Knowing that Li Han was in a dilemma, Ji Chuanyi didn't push him too hard

but told him the stakes. He said, "It's up to you to make the decision, but I hope you can calm down

and be rational. Nothing can be changed once it gets started."

The two of them talked about the lawsuit for a while. Ji Chuanyi had work to do and left, leaving Li Han

alone in the office. He was sitting on the spacious and soft sofa but he felt like sitting on pins and

needles.

Looking at the documents on the table in front of him, he could not get rid of the burden in his heart. It

seemed that it was a deadlock.

After thinking about it, he thought that the only breakthrough might be Jiang Chujing, who refused to

admit it and insisted that it was Shu Tian who did it. However, Li Han felt that there were secrets behind

it.

He kept smoking after finishing one until nearly half a box was empty, and the ashtray was full of

ashes. Finally, he put out the cigarette butt in a fretful mood. The moment he stood up, he felt dizzy.

The irregular diet for several days almost broke him down. It was all because of this thought in his heart

that kept him alive.

Li Han steadied his steps and walked to his desk to pick up the phone, and said, "Tell the driver to get

the car ready."

[...]

On the other hand, Jiang Chujing was still in Ling's Hospital ward. Apart from the necessary treatment

every day, almost nothing happened in her life.

On this day, after the morning check, Jiang Mengyao called. Jiang Chujing was frightened when she

saw the caller ID, then picked it up disdainfully and said, "Hello?"

"Jiang Chujing, say it directly!" Jiang Mengyao's anxious voice came from the microphone.

Compared to her excitement, Jiang Chujing was very unhurried. She replied, "Slow down. Why are you

arguing?"

"When will you fulfill what you have promised me?" Jiang Mengyao was in no mood to say

circumbendibus when the matter was done, so she asked directly.

Jiang Chujing said, "I told you it would be in a few days. Taking such a large sum of money would

arouse suspicion. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why am I in such a hurry?" Jiang Mengyao yelled out of control. "It's already four days past the

original time and you haven't given me your money. You know why I'm in a hurry. Listen up, Jiang

Chujing, if you want to play tricks on me, I will never let you go. Anyway, we are a package deal now.

None of us can live peacefully if you push me too far !"

Hearing this, Jiang Chujing's face became slightly ferocious. Every time when spoke about this, Jiang

Mengyao would threaten her with this matter. Now that the momentum was getting more and more

wrong and she seemed to have misunderstood her position.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chujing's voice could not help but be vicious. She said, "Jiang Mengyao, don't

think that you can threaten me. If I promise to give it to you, I will. However, if you dare to make any

trouble, I will make you unable to see the sun tomorrow!"

Her voice became grim, which was really a little scary. Although Jiang Mengyao tried to be brave, after

all, she had nothing, so naturally, she was afraid of her in her heart. Therefore, she could only

desperately suppress the anger in her heart and said, "Tell me a deadline!"

Jiang Chujing looked up through the window at the small garden outside and narrowed her eyes. Then

she said, "I will transfer the money to your account in ten days at most."

Jiang Mengyao said, "That's too long..."

"I'll try my best. Ten days at most. It won't take so long if it goes well." Jiang Chujing said.

Jiang Mengyao thought for a moment. She had thought that she could get the money quickly so that

she could run away, but Jiang Chujing's attitude was very tough. Although she could threaten her but

was unwilling to fall out with her. It was not good for both of them.

After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and responded, "Okay. I'll wait for your news. If you

exceed this deadline again, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Jiang Mengyao wanted to say something else, but Jiang Chujing heard the noise outside the door

sensitively, so she immediately hung up the phone and put it under the pillow.

Sure enough, just as she put it in, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Doctor George and

Li Han were walking towards her.

Jiang Chujing hadn't seen Li Han for a long time and the man in front of her had lost a lot of weight. His

cheekbones were slightly protruding, and the lines of his facewere more obvious and sharper. His eye

sockets were already deep, but now they looked deeper and showed a strong sense of tiredness,

probably because he hadn't rested well recently.

"Han, why are you here?" Jiang Chujing was so happy that she even ignored George.

Faced with her enthusiasm, Li Han did not show much emotion. Instead, his expression fell on her face

and he said in an ambiguous way, "You've recovered well recently."

At this time, Zhang Lancheng passed away, Shu Tian was taken away and he was also busy. However,

she was so sanguine that she didn't look like a person who had lost her family member.

Jiang Chujing naturally recognized the sarcasm in his words and the smile on her lips froze. She said,

"I'm fine. George and Doctor Ling are very dedicated."

Li Han sneered and said, "Zhang Lancheng is gone. Don't you feel bad?"

"How could you say that? She's my grandma. How could I not be sad?" Speaking of this, Jiang Chujing

sounded like she was about to cry. Tears filled her eyes, which made her looked pitiful. She continued,

"What I can do is only to let myself not think too much, and I believe you will definitely bring the bad

person to justice!"

Li Han was not interested in her words, but turned to George and said, "You go out first. I'll talk to her

alone."

George nodded to show understanding and instructed, "Calm down. You have to calm down. She can't

be provoked anymore." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After George left, only Li Han and Jiang Chujing were left in the ward. The quiet space was very

torturing especially when both of them had evil intentions.

Jiang Chujing had been thinking about him crazily recently, but at the same time, she was also afraid of

facing this man.

She was still more or less guilty.

"Han, what's wrong with you?" She asked first because she couldn't bear to wait for this man who didn't

speak for a long time.

Hearing this, Li Han, who had been standing still, finally made a move. He walked to the sofa and sat

down with his legs crossed. He looked through the isolation cabinet in the room and saw the door

leading to Zhang Lancheng's ward. He asked slowly, "What happened on the day Zhang Lancheng

was gone?"

She had been asked this question by him countless times. Every time she was asked, Jiang Chujing's

heart seemed to be fried in a frying pan, sizzling and steaming.

She swallowed and answered, "I told you, when I came in, I saw Shu Tian put down the injection in her

hand, and the surveillance cameras recorded it, too."

"Let me ask you." The man's dark eyes suddenly shot over with a sharp look. "Why was that bottle of

medicine in Shu Tian's isolation suit?"

Jiang Chujing's heart was beating like a drumroll and she said, "I don't know. I guess it was brought in

from outside."

"Are you sure?" Li Han asked.

Jiang Chujing met his sharp eyes and pursed her lips without saying a word.
