Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 135

Why was she here?

Shu Tian stared at the person on the screen. Not long after, the man in the room began to question Jiang Mengyao with a very fierce tone, "Tell me what happened that night! Explain it to me word for word!"

On the screen, Jiang Mengyao was pushed by a man and almost fell to the ground. She was so scared that she trembled and then sobbed as she spoke, "That, that night, when I met Mr. Li at the banquet, I got an idea to make use of this meeting to stir things up. During the meal, Mr. Li went out to smoke. I took advantage of this interval to put the hallucinogen in my bag into his cup... But I swear! I absolutely didn't do anything else. I just took two photos to send to Shu Tian, and answered a phone call to deliberately hint at her. I didn't do anything else!"

Jiang Mengyao was caught in a state of panic with her tone fluctuating. Shu Tian could feel the extreme fear even through the screen.

In particular, the men looked awfully fierce. They surrounded Jiang Mengyao in the room. There was not much space and the light was very dark, which could emit a sense of horror that the men simply stood there.

"Why did you do that?" The man asked again and again.

Jiang Mengyao gradually collapsed under the pressure. She squatted and knelt on the dirty concrete floor, crying and defending herself, "I just wanted Shu Tian to misunderstand. I didn't really do anything. I just didn't want to see her get everything so easily!"

As Shu Tian listened, she unconsciously leaned towards Li Han. He reached out and held her shoulder. His voice seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, "Take her away. You know what to do next."

"Yes, Mr. Li."

One of the strong men replied and dragged Jiang Mengyao on the ground directly to the door. Finally, the door closed and they disappeared from the monitoring screen.

A few seconds later, there was a tearing cry from a woman outside the door. Shu Tian got goosebumps from the shrill voice and looked uneasily at the man beside her, "What did they do to Jiang Mengyao?"

"Don't worry, she will not die." There was not a ripple between Li Han's eyes as if he had not seen or heard anything.

This was the way this man treated the things he hated. He could not brought up a trace of sympathy, especially after Jiang Mengyao did such a thing, he wished he could torture her to death.

Shu Tian felt a little terrified. Although she hated Jiang Mengyao, what she saw was more than she had imagined.

She would not die.

That was the bottom line. Would she lose her arms and legs? Would she be...

After the imagined possibilities flashed through Shu Tian's mind, she didn't dare to think anymore. She held Li Han's hand and could still hear Jiang Mengyao shouting in her ear, "Li Han, please don't do this."

The man lowered his head and met the woman's trembling pupils. His big palm patted her on the back with comforting force, "It's okay. If you're scared, I'll turn it off."

As he spoke, the other hand tried to turn it down.

Shu Tian stopped him and shook her head seriously, "Don't do this. Jiang Mengyao did something wrong, she could be punished in a normal way. I don't want you to go out of line because of this."

Li Han smiled, "I don't care."

He didn't care about anything as long as it was for her.

Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Shu Tian increased the strength of her hands and her tone became serious, "But I care."

Before he could say anything, she added, "You're a lawyer, your hands, and your mind are used to help save others, not to do such things. I don't want to tarnish your reputation because of Jiang Mengyao."

To her, doing such a thing was already an insult to Li Han.

Li Han didn't expect her to say that. He thought she called him to stop because she was afraid and the scene in front of her might have stimulated her, but he didn't expect her to be thinking about him.

Her words fell into his ears and made him feel a little alarmed.

He had been a lawyer for so many years, from obscurity to success today. He had ever seen all kinds of people. There were people who wanted him to help them take advantage of loopholes in the law and those who used him as a winning weapon. No one told him that his hands were used to help and save others.
