Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 248

Li Han jumped to his feet, completely thunderstruck. He felt like he could still feel her gentle touch, but

what did she say now? Going to the police?

He tried to calm himself down and asked her, fighting his panic, "What are you going to do there?"

"Surrender?" Shu Tian was not nervous at all. She even smiled after saying that. "I wouldn't say that. I

will cooperate with the investigation."

The man's sharp, knife-like gaze fell on the fair face in front of him. How could she? One second she

was deeply involved in the whirlpool of love, but the next she could utter such heartless words.

Li Han gasped and felt anxious again. He leaned over to click open his cigarette case, revealing his

strong muscles from under the quilt, and lit a cigarette.

He puffed smoke from his sexy lips, his voice as cold as ice. "Do you know what it means to go there at

this juncture?"

Shu Tian nodded knowingly. "I do."

Li Han snorted when he heard such a straightforward answer. Glancing meaningfully at the woman, he

said, "Are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm serious." Shu Tian blinked, and her eyes glittered with a trace of fear. "But I believe in you."

"You should believe in yourself too."

"We can't carry on like this. It's not good for you, me, Doctor Ling, or the hospital." Shu Tian took out

her phone from her pocket. Her badly trembling fingertips betrayed her emotions.

On any website she opened, she could see this matter as the headline. She handed the phone over to

him and said, "We can't bury this news."

In just half a day, it became the talk of the town. If they continued to suppress the news, everyone Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

would be implicated and Li Han would have to bear the brunt.

The last thing Shu Tian wanted was to see him get into trouble because of her.

This was no small matter. This was a homicide case.

Li Han looked at the website page, which was full of gimmicks: a catchy title and photo collages

showing the Ling's Hospital and an image of Ling Junze with mosaics.

A sneer flitted over his face. Then he threw the phone out...

Bang!

Click!

The phone smashed against a wall, making a loud noise. As a result of the crash, it immediately

deformed, landed plonk on the ground, and broke into three or four pieces. The screen scattered debris

all over the floor. Even the wall was dented. It was clear that he had employed a lot of force.

Shu Tian didn't expect him to fling the phone directly. She was shocked. "This is not helpful at all!"

She roared, her eyes turning red-rimmed." I don't want to see you like this! The truth will speak for

itself. Justice has long arms and I believe the police will find out the truth. Even if they can't, I still have

you! Li Han, I'm indeed scared, but this is the best choice. I dare to do it because I know you'll prove

my innocence and take me home!"

If there was any other choice, she wouldn't go to the police. She was afraid too, but things had already

happened. As the person involved, she had to shoulder her responsibility. She couldn't just go into

hiding and let others bear it for her.

Shu Tian was betting her future on her trust in this man.

Li Han fell silent because of her words. He clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulging.

He was mad at himself for being so useless that he couldn't even protect the woman he loved...

Sensing his great sadness and anger, Shu Tian stepped forward, half knelt on the bed and leaned over

to hug the proud man's drooping head. "It's not your fault. I only make this decision because I believe

that you can protect me."

"I don't want you to go." He wouldn't be able to know what happened there. Since he was involved too,

the police wouldn't reveal much to him even if he pulled some strings.

How could he calm down in that case?

"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Shu Tian had already made up her mind. "What you should do

now is to vindicate me, not shelter me. I didn't do anything wrong. Why am I supposed to hole up?"

What's more, in this situation, even if he wanted to hide her, he couldn't.

Li Han's heart was aching for her. He raised his hands, hugged her tightly, and smelt her hair. The

thought of this woman leaving him made him terrified. "I can't let you go. If anything happens to you,

what should I do..."

At this moment, the slightest negligence might lead to great disaster.

It was too risky for her to go to the police.

He simply couldn't afford to take any risks.

Shu Tian moved a small step back and gazed into his eyes. "What do you want to do? Harbor me till

everything comes to light? Besides you and me, what should Doctor Ling do? What about the hospital

and the patients there? Have you ever thought about that? I have. I can't stay under the shelter of

others!"

"What about me?"

Shu Tian looked at him, almost engulfed by bitterness. She stroked the man's handsome face. "I'll be

fine."

Li Han grabbed her cold fingers, so hard that her hands were trembling as well. She trusted him with

her life, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence...

It was either her or Jiang Chujing. What choice should he make?

Shu Tian had already called the police. She hated to make things difficult for anyone else, so she

chose to make things difficult for herself. What a cruel woman.

When the police arrived, Shu Tian had got ready and was waiting in the reception room of the hospital.

Next to her was Li Han, a person to be reckoned with.

The people involved in the case were of high standing, so the police chief came personally. He had

thought that he would have to handle a touchy situation, but Shu Tian cooperated surprisingly well.

Shu Tian looked at her wrist with a self-mocking smile and said, "I thought I would be handcuffed."

The expressions of the two police officers at the side changed slightly. They did not know what to say.

The police chief quickly recovered from the embarrassment. He laughed hollowly to fill the silence.

"Miss Shu, don't worry. We're here to bring you over to cooperate with the investigation, not to summon

you as a suspect. If nothing ever happened, I believe that we police officers will clear your name."

Shu Tian lowered her head and smiled, but the smile didn't touch her eyes. "Thank you."

She took a deep breath and turned to look at the man who had been sitting still on the sofa the whole

time. Choking back tears, she said goodbye to him, "I'm leaving."

Li Han fiercely extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray. He stood up, strode to her, and pulled her into

his arms. "Wait for me." His hoarse voice said in her ear.

His simple words meant a lot to her. There were no words to describe how Shu Tian felt now. She

nodded solemnly.

Li Han quickly let go of her. Trying not looking at her, he turned to the police chief beside him and said,

"Please take care of her."

It was just four words, but he had probably never been that humble.

The police chief pandered to him. "Mr. Li, don't worry! I got this!"
