Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 256

Li Han gave Jiang Chujing two more days to think about it. During these two days, Jiang Chujing was actively cooperating with the treatment and occasionally sat in front of the window as if in a trance. But most of the time, she was smiling, confusing George.

Didn't one of her family just pass away? Why didn't she look sad?

But after all, it was privacy, so George didn't ask her about it. He just reported her physical condition to Ling Junze and Li Han every day.

Shu Tian had been detained in the police station instead of being sent to jail where contained an odd mix of people. Otherwise, Shu Tian would be badly bullied. With Li Han's protection, no one dared to mention it.

Anyway, the verdict wasn't made and a turnaround was possible. However, the pressure created by the public opinion was heavy, making the matter paid close attention.

Ever since Li Han visited Shu Tian last time, Shu Tian felt much more at ease. Although she knew nothing about the situation, she believed that Li Han would take her home as he promised.

However, to her surprise, Tang Zechen was only to meet her. The police asked Shu Tian whether she wanted to see him or not. Shu Tian shook her head to refuse after thinking about it.

Soon, the police officer went back to Shu Tian and said that Tang Zechen had something important to tell her. After a second thought, Shu Tian finally agreed.

"Miss Shu, don't worry. We're in the police station. You're safe." Seeing Shu Tian's sullen face, the police officer comforted her.

Shu Tian moved up the corner of her lips and replied, "Thank you. I believe you."

When she arrived at the visiting room, Tang Zechen was already sitting inside. There was a thick transparent and bulletproof glass between them.

Eyeing Shu Tian's pale face, Tang Zechen unconsciously formed his fingers into a fist. He had imagined the scene of meeting Shu Tian before, but it was different.

Shu Tian was the one who made Tang Zechen suffer a great loss, so Tang Zechen had felt that he would gloat, but now...

The man looked down to hide the subtle pity. "I heard about what happened to you."

Shu Tian was not surprised at all. "Everyone in the J City knows it. Are you just coming to reminisce with me?"

"Interesting," Tang Zechen chuckled coldly. "You're still so arrogant and haven't changed at all."

Shu Tian pursed her lips slightly and said, "I'm sorry for not letting you see me in distress."

"I'm not here to argue with you." Tang Zechen took a deep breath and said, "I saw the related reports. I believe that you wouldn't commit murder. I trust you."

Although Tang Zechen was much like a stranger to her, Shu Tian thanked him politely, "Thank you."

"I don't know if I should tell you something that I was advised not to, but I think you have the right to know it." Tang Zechen crossed his fingers and placed them loosely in front of his chest. "Do you remember Jiang Mengyao? She might have something to do with this."

Shu Tian hadn't heard the name for so long that she was even blank for a few seconds. "What?"

"I saw her once near the Ling's Hospital. I wasn't sure at the time because I only saw a blurry figure, but I sense it should be her." After all, Tang Zechen had slept with Jiang Mengyao before, so Tang Zechen could recognize her more easily.

Ling's Hospital?

Shu Tian was confused about the reason why Jiang Mengyao had appeared in such a sensitive place.

"What was she doing there?"

"I don't know. I didn't contact her. She's wanted by the police, so now she is probably hiding somewhere." A look of hatred was on Tang Zechen's face. Compared to Shu Tian, Jiang Mengyao was even more hateful, for Jiang Mengyao had pushed his family into a desperate situation.

He had wronged Shu Tian, so he deserved the retribution, but Jiang Mengyao was greedy.

"Maybe she heard of your news and came to see what was going on," Tang Zechen guessed.
