Once Upon A One Night Stand

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.

If it weren't in the court, he would definitely have thrown her out with anger.

Shu Tian curled her lips in self-deprecation and did not look anywhere else until the lawsuit ended, and

the result of her sentence would be announced later. But judging from the whole process, it was

basically confirmed that it was Shu Tian who committed the murder, and the result would not be too

different.

Did Li Han lose the case?

Shu Tian didn't know. It shouldn't be counted as his failure. After all, he wanted to strive for acquittal,

and he probably had already gotten the result he wanted.

After getting out of court, normally speaking, Shu Tian should be taken away in handcuff this time. But

Li Han managed to meet her by pulling strings. They met in a small room, which was very crowded and

narrow.

"Why did you do this, huh?" There was a chill and hostility on the man's body, and he looked very

disappointed and anxious. "Didn't I tell you not to speak casually? You must not contradict my words.

Why didn't you follow my words?"

"I heard that." Shu Tian leaned against the wall and said, "But I can't do as you said."

"Ha," Li Han chuckled. The emotions he had suppressed for days were on the verge of breaking down.

He asked, "So are you satisfied now?"

"I'm not satisfied." Shu Tian did not conceal anything and said, "They will only give me a heavier

sentence."

Li Han stared at her, who looked so weak and fragile that it seemed she could be crushed with only a

little strength, but she was more courageous and stubborn than anyone else. "Then why didn't you

listen to me earlier? Why were you only willing to give up until it reached such a point? You..."

"If I do as you say, I will really be desperate." When the lawsuit was over, Shu Tian felt much more

peaceful in her mind. God knew how much strength it took her to say those words in court, and she

almost couldn't hold on.

"Li Han, people are born to die. I'm never afraid of what happens to me. All I want is to live a clean life

and be innocent." She raised her hand to caress his side face and felt a dull pain in her heart. "I know

you've put a lot of effort into this case, but I hope you understand one thing. It's not me who ruined it,

but Jiang Chujing. She's the culprit..."

"That's enough!" The man interrupted her in a low voice, "It could be better. Why did you do that? Do

you know how bad this result is for you? Shu Tian, this is not a family affair. You need to be extremely

careful with every step you take instead of being impulsive!"

"Impulsive?" When Shu Tian heard this word, she wanted to laugh. "You said I was... Impulsive?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Her insistence, her hidden scars, everything she had experienced in this matter were completely

denied by him with such a derogatory word.

Shu Tian's raised hand was put down again. At this moment, she didn't want to say anything.

She felt so despised and unimportant.

"Don't look at me like that." Li Han could not endure the sad look in her eyes. He cared about her too

much and became a little irrational because of her behavior which was beyond his expectation. "All

these results are caused by your willfulness."

"I'm willful..." Shu Tian giggled. It sounded a little scary in the quiet room. Her laughter grew from little

to louder and finally disappeared in her ears again. The mockery in her eyes was slowly replaced by

determination and hatred.

There was nothing sadder than the despair in her heart. At this moment, she really and completely

became desperate about him.

Her eyes were filled with tears, burning with fragility, and the smile on her dry lips was unsettling. She

said, "Li Han, remember what you said today."
