Chapter 496: Not Guilty
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation ‘ Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sang Qianqian had originally planned to tell Shen Hanyu about Shen Shaofeng, but since Zhen Yiping had asked, there was no need for her to hide anything. She briefly told him about how Ruan Xiaodie had kidnapped Shen Shaofeng and handed him over to Li Zhongjin for custody, and how she and Xie Shi’an had rescued him.
“Where’s Shen Shaofeng now?” Zhen Yiping’s expression changed drastically. “In the hospital.”
Sang Qianqian answered truthfully, “When we rescued him, Ruan Xiaodie had poisoned him. I’ve already given him the antidote, but I don’t know when he’ll wake up.”
Zhen Yiping couldn’t believe it. He immediately followed Sang Qianqian to the hospital and saw that Shen Shaofeng was still alive and informed Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu had already arrived in Country A. He had left without permission, and he had already caused quite a bit of trouble. Moreover, the lawsuit was still ongoing, so he naturally could not come back.
However, early the next morning, Jian Zheng rushed over from Ming City and picked Shen Shaofeng up.
He had specially come to see Sang Qianqian and Xie Shi’an, to convey Shen Hanyu’s gratitude, and to bring a huge gift for the baby.
“This is a small gift from President Shen to the child. Please accept it. He is very grateful to President Xie and Madam Xie for saving his father.”
Sang Qianqian had mixed feelings when she heard the word ‘Madam Xie’.
If it weren’t for the fact that the child was still young, she would have gone to A Country to find Shen Hanyu and explain everything to him…
Three months later.
After settling the child down, Sang Qianqian boarded the plane to A Country.. Shen Hanyu’s case was about to be finalized, and the verdict would determine whether he was guilty or not.
If he was, he would face more than ten years in prison. If he wasn’t, he would be released.
Sang Qianqian wanted to see him before the trial. She wanted him to know that she had never betrayed him.
No matter what the final verdict was, she and the child would wait for him to come back, as long as he was willing to.
If he was unwilling, she would respect his choice.
When she arrived in A Country, she did not get to see Shen Hanyu as she had hoped.
She went to Fang Lan first. Fang Lan said that Shen Hanyu had left the country to return to Beijing without permission. Although his actions were extremely secretive, the police had still found some clues.
As a result, the police detained him for a short period of time. They were very strict with him. Before the court session, no one was allowed to see him except for his lawyer.
Sang Qianqian could not see Shen Hanyu at all.
On the day of the court session, she finally saw him for the first time.
The moment she saw him, Sang Qianqian’s breathing stopped for a few seconds. Time seemed to have stopped.
It was not until countless cameras flashed that the reporters swarmed around Shen Hanyu.
Sang Qianqian was squeezed to the back of the crowd and could not move an inch. She could not get close to him at all.
Amidst the crowd, she watched as he stepped onto the steps of the court and entered the hall surrounded by the bailiffs.
This was a closed trial, and no one knew the outcome.
Even though public opinion had initially been hostile toward Shen Hanyu then turned into great sympathy for him, it was still up to the court to choose how the case would be decided.
Moreover, no one knew if the court could withstand the pressure and make a fair judgment.
During the four-hour trial, Sang Qianqian prayed silently in her heart that Shen Hanyu would be safe.
The doors opened again. When he walked out of the court with the bailiffs, his face was expressionless, and the verdict could be judged based on this.
His expression was as calm and indifferent as before the trial, as if the trial just now was just an ordinary meeting.
On the other hand, the lawyer next to him was all smiles. He waved the documents in his hand and loudly responded to the reporters’ questions. “The court has cleared our names. President Shen is not guilty!”
Sang Qianqian was far away, but she could still hear these words clearly.
The string in her body that was about to break instantly relaxed, and tears surged out almost instantly.
He was innocent!
Sang Qianqian squeezed through the crowd and ran toward Shen Hanyu. Unfortunately, there were too many people, and she could only move forward a little. She watched as he walked toward the car under the escort of the bodyguards.
‘Hanyu!” Sang Qianqian cried out anxiously with tears all over her face.
The crowd was noisy, and the reporters who asked questions were louder than the last. Her voice was like an inconspicuous note in the crowd, quietly dissipating among the people.
Shen Hanyu walked to the front of the car, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped and turned around.
The bodyguard beside him also turned around. “What’s the matter, President Shen?”
Shen Hanyu did not say anything. His gaze slowly swept across the crowd and stopped at a certain spot for a moment.
He whispered something to the bodyguard and turned to get into the car.
Sang Qianqian watched helplessly as he got into the car and left. Just as she was burning with anxiety, a bodyguard’s strong arm parted the crowd and walked in front of her.
“Miss Sang,”
The bodyguard said respectfully, “I’ll take you out of here.”
Sang Qianqian was slightly startled. “You are?”
“President Shen asked me to come.”
The bodyguard said, “If you’re willing, he would like to treat you to a cup of coffee.”
Sang Qianqian was naturally willing.
She followed the bodyguard into the car. Her emotions were fluctuating all the way, and it was difficult to calm down.
She had underestimated the media and the crowd at the scene, so she had not been able to meet Shen Hanyu immediately. However, he had seen her when he turned around in the middle of the crowd and had even asked his bodyguards to help her out…
It was impossible to say that she wasn’t touched.
Sang Qianqian even had some extravagant hopes. Perhaps, as long as she told the truth, he would forgive her and they could still be the same as before?
In an extremely quiet cafe.
She followed the waiter to a private room. Before she entered, she heard Fang Lan’s voice. “Hanyu is finally okay. Zhong Yao and I can also return to Europe.” She seemed to be very happy, and there was a hint of laughter in her voice. “I’ll say goodbye to you here. We’ll go to the airport later.”
“Are you serious?”
It was Guo Muyang’s voice. “Hanyu just came out. You should at least have a meal with him to celebrate. Why are you in such a hurry?”
“It’s not me who’s anxious, it’s him who’s anxious.”
Fang Lan smiled and said, “Ah Yao has a lot of things piled up, so I have to go
back and deal with them quickly.”
“Then let Zhong Yao go first. You can stay.”
Guo Muyang said, “When we’re done here, Hanyu and I will send you back to Europe.”
“It’s better not to.”
Zhong Yao said slowly, “President Shen is Xiao Lan’s first love. If she stays here and rekindles her feelings for him, that wouldn’t be good.”
“What kind of person do you take me for?”
Fang Lan pouted. “Do I look that easily swayed?”
That might not be the case. After all, President Shen is so charming, and he’s single now.”
Zhong Yao said seriously, “So you’d better come with me.”
Just as Fang Lan was about to retort, she saw Sang Qianqian standing at the door and was stunned.
That day, she had told Sang Qianqian that if she wanted to see Shen Hanyu, she could either wait for him to return to the country or come to A Country to see him personally.
When Sang Qianqian called her and said that she had arrived in the country, Fang Lan was shocked.
She had once asked Sang Qianqian why she was looking for Shen Hanyu, and she could try to pass on a message.
However, Sang Qianqian only said that she would wait until Shen Hanyu’s trial
was over before telling him personally..
