"You can choose not to come. The choice is in your hands." When it comes to language games, she is no match for him.
Shu Tian almost burst out, but he held back. "Five years ago, you used to focus on the victim. I didn't expect you to threaten me with the victim's rights and interests five years later!"
After all, this was the saddest part of Shu Tian's life. The issue of day was bound to be resolved, but what he did was like letting her choose between facing him and giving up the case.
If Shu Tian didn't give up, he had to see him.
"Is this kind of game very interesting and interesting? For you, all the efforts I've made are a family?" Without waiting for him to answer, Shu Tian quickly sneered. "But why does Mr. Li think I'm not in charge of this, but I will be responsible for the case to the end?"
She didn't know that long before she called, Li Han had already told Kevin about her apology. She had misunderstood everything.
The man who was misunderstood was not prepared to explain at all. He just wanted to force her to come, even if she misunderstood him.
"It's best that you have such determination." His tone was neither salty nor light, but he was confident.
Shu Tian felt like an ant on a hot pot, burning badly, but the man looked on coldly. He even added some firewood to the pot from time to time to make himself even more at a loss.
She clenched her phone and glanced at the time. It was only three o' clock in the afternoon. It was not too late. Instead of dragging it day by day, it was better to strike while the iron was hot.
Thinking of this, Shu Tian was not afraid. He reached out his head and stabbed her quickly. "Mr. Li, do you have time now? Let's make an appointment to talk about the details of the case."
"Do I look so free?" When the time came, he put on airs instead.
Shu Tian choked on his chest, unable to vomit or swallow. He could only patiently ask for his opinion. "Then when are you free?"
However, she had become the one who needed help, and no matter how angry she was, she could only lower her voice.
"Well," he paused, as if he was thinking about how to answer her. After a long time, he said, "It's convenient for you to come to my place to see me."
Where?!
Shu Tian gritted her teeth. Who dared to say that Li Han didn't do it on purpose? She was the first one who didn't believe it! She knew this man too well. He said the first paragraph was for the last sentence, right?
"London is so big and there are so many coffee shops. There should be one or two not far from your place, right? If Mr. Li doesn't feel like he has time, I can drive over to pick you up later..."
"Unwilling?" He interrupted Shu Tian and said decisively, "Then don't come."
"...
For a moment, the microphone was quiet and no one spoke.
Shu Tian's teeth itched with hatred. Before she could figure out what to do, she heard the man's impatient voice. "Hang up if you're okay."
"Wait!" She gritted her teeth and agreed after two seconds. "Okay, I'll go find you, right now!"
...
Forty minutes later, Shu Tian's car stopped at the address on the text message.
In front of her was a western-style house. She had carefully observed it. There was a coffee shop with a good environment a kilometer away. He probably didn't feel at ease for her to come home.
Shu Tian didn't have a access card. He unbuckled his seat belt and quickly walked to the door to ring the doorbell. The man didn't say anything and opened the door directly.
The car drove in smoothly, and she got out of the car with the information she had prepared beforehand. She stood at the door of the villa and took several deep breaths before she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Ten seconds later, the heavy solid wood door opened and the man's body was reflected in his eyes bit by bit.
"I told you, as long as you answer me, I don't need to look at these things, and I can agree to all your and day's reasonable requirements." He didn't like to hear her call him so unfamiliar, so he always interrupted her.
Shu Tian looked away and let out a deep breath, as if weighing the stakes in this matter.
She should have compromised. It was just a few questions, nothing.
But when she really faced the man's threatening gaze, Shu Tian had no courage at all. Five years ago, she had nowhere to hide in front of him, and five years later, she was still the same.
She had grown up and matured, but it was undeniable that this man was also more powerful than five years ago.
After a long silence, he took a glass of warm water and put it in front of her. His thin lips parted slightly. "Have you thought about it?"
Shu Tian found it extremely ironic that such a gentle voice implied such a threat.
Shu Tian wanted to win the case too much, and now he was forcing her into a dead end, so she let go. "Okay, you ask."
"Okay, there's a premise before asking. You can't lie."
Shu Tian's eyes flickered, thinking that he didn't know if she was lying or not, and he answered stiffly, "Okay."
"You know what?" He suddenly sat up straight and stared into her eyes. "I can tell when you lie."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His powerful heartbeat suddenly rang in his ears. Shu Tian choked and his expression changed. "I won't lie."
Li Han nodded with satisfaction. Under her high nervousness, she said word by word, "Then the first question - when did you meet Meng Shichuan?"
