Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 268

What she said surprised everyone at present. Not only Li Han, but all the judges and prosecutors turned to look at her in surprise.

It was not that they hadn't seen a confession retracted in court, but she was definitely the first to have such a big conflict with her lawyer in court.

The presiding judge looked at the material in his hand and said with a frown, "Please re-explain your statement with the support of the evidence you have prepared."

Shu Tian had never been so brave. She felt she was like a little shrimp exiled in the deep sea. Although she knew that nothing could be changed, she still fought against fate desperately. "I said I didn't kill anyone."

She repeated the same words again, and her tone was not only not weakened but more convinced than before.

She didn't kill anyone. She knew very well that she didn't break the law.

Li Han's face instantly darkened. It was not just a terrible expression that appeared on his face, but a terrible feeling that went deep into his bones. He had always been the most secretive and calm person in court, and now he could not calm himself down.

Things were going out of control, and he didn't like the feeling of losing control.

Li Han raised his hand to signal the judge. "We apply for a ten-minute adjournment..."

"No need!" Shu Tian rejected his proposal almost at the same time. Her chest heaved violently. If someone took a look at her at a closer distance, they could see her shoulders trembling slightly. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice as steady as possible, "I know there's very little evidence to prove my innocence now, but even so, I still have to make a statement. With the promise of my personality and my health statement, I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't intend to harm anyone. Zhang Lancheng's death has nothing to do with me. From the beginning to the end, I only gave her that injection in an aid to save her, and the person who told me about the injection was another party, the plaintiff, Jiang Chujing."

The smooth process was disrupted by her sudden speech, and the presiding judge didn't often encounter such kind of situation. He raised his hand to hold his eyeglasses up and asked, "That means you deny lawyer Li Han's claim, right?"

Hearing this, Shu Tian looked at Li Han. They were not far away from each other. They both knew that her answer would change the direction of the trial.

Shu Tian knew he didn't want her to be willful, but...

She turned her face away and looked at the judge firmly, "Yes."

"Do you have any evidence to support what you are saying now?"

With his question, the court fell into silence which made people feel anxious. Shu Tian's hands, which were hanging by her side, were so cold that she could hardly stretch her fingers. She gritted her teeth and frowned, "No."

The judge's expression changed slightly. After looking down at the documents in his hand to make sure that the defendant did not provide any evidence, he said with a deeper tone, "Please make a reasonable statement."

Shu Tian kept her head up and did not lower a little. She said, "Justice is in the heart of the people. What I have never done is never done. I will not admit it or plead guilty."

"Do you have anything else to add or explain?"

Shu Tian shook her head and finally thanked the judge politely, "No, thank you."

After she finished speaking, her microphone was turned off. Shu Tian stared thoughtfully at the table in front of her. In fact, her whole senses were affected by Li Han. She could imagine his expression even if she didn't look at him.
