Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 282

Li Han was taken to the hospital after collapsing at the search and rescue scene that day. His heart hurted more than the internal injuries he was sustained.

He ignored Ling Junze's recommendation to take a few days off before departing. Ling Junze realized he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't attempt to do it. He instead gave him some medicine to keep his energy levels up and sent him on his way.

People on Zou Xun‘s side did not give up and continued their search for her in the river where the accident occurred, even further down the river.

However, no news of Shu Tian appeared as time went on.

Li Han's anxiety turned to fear on the third day after she went missing. He was afraid that if he discovered that Shu Tian had been found, she might already have passed away.

Even if there was no news, he had the illusion that she was still alive, which kept him going.

Li Han was obsessed with this, so he got up early every day and went to the crime scene. He didn't shave his beard or comb his hair, and he went several days without changing his clothes. He had already become sloppy, and he had lost his brilliance.

The police didn't start contacting him until one morning.

The director's voice came through on the other end of the line, apologetic and regretful. "How do you think we should handle Miss Shu, Mr. Li?"

"Can you explain what you mean by 'handle'?" Li Han sensitively asked in a hoarse voice, "The hunt isn't over yet. Why are you inquiring about it?"

"I understand you've been looking for her all the time. It's fine. You can look for it. We can also assist you in securing the road. However, the key now is to have a surface explanation."

"You see, things have been going on for such a long time." The director said, his voice filled with emotion. How about we make a record first... And then arrange her aftermath? "

"Her aftermath?" Through the microphone, Li Han repeated the words for the director in a cold tone. "How come you're discussing the aftermath when we haven't found her?"

The director got what he was saying, as if he still couldn't accept Shu Tian's death. He abruptly changed the subject of the conversation. "That is correct, but we are unable to explain her condition to her family."

Her Family?

Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua were the first people who came to Li Han's mind when these words were mentioned.

Li Han drew his lips together in a sad expression. They would never forgive him, no matter how he tried to explain it. For the loss of their only beloved daughter, he was unforgivable.

The director called out tentatively, "Mr. Li?" Because he didn't hear Li Han's response.

"Give me a second and I'll be there." Li Han then hung up without waiting for a response from the director.

What he didn't want to face, what he tried to deny, were gradually demonstrating to him that no amount of denial would be enough to erase everything. What should have happened actually occurred. It was cruel, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua were already waiting for Li Han when he arrived at the police station. When he entered the director's office, he was greeted by an elderly couple who sat on the sofa, wailing incessantly.

They appeared to have aged more than ten years in a month, going from people in their mid-fifties to people in their seventies and eighties.

The anguish of losing their beloved daughter was enough to age them in an instant.

When they heard a noise at the door, they both raised their heads. Shu Changlei's eyes were bloodshot, and Ye lihua's face was swollen with tears. The sadness in their eyes turned to resentment and hatred when they saw Li Han.

The nobleman, who had always seemed unattainable in their mind, had now lost his noble and self-restraint appearance, leaving only dust and sloppiness in his wake. He seemed to have changed from beginning to end after a few days of not seeing him. It was clear that he was not leading a happy life.
