Chapter 49: She’s Showing No Signs of Life

Chapter 49

Under the pouring rain, Huang De Han was crying his heart out at the edge of a well, devastated and heartbroken. Everyone present was moved by his grief. The firefighters were nervously trying to retrieve something from the well.

Although Huang De Han was crying inconsolably, the police still questioned him about the process of how San Er fell into the sewer.

"We were going to a restaurant in the alley for dinner. We didn't realize there was no manhole cover here. It was dark and we were chatting as we walked. I was so scared when she fell, but there was no time for me to save her. She disappeared after falling down and I shouted for help for a long time, but no one answered. I immediately called the police," Huang De Han wiped away his tears and explained.

The rain stopped at some point, and the night had already become very late. It had been more than five hours since San Er disappeared, but she still hadn't been found. Rescue workers searched all nearby manholes, but couldn't find any trace of her.

Huang De Han was anxiously waiting at the edge of the well.

...

The next morning, Li Man saw the news that San Er had fallen into the sewer. At first, she didn't know that San Er was the person who had fallen until she saw Huang De Han, who looked very tired, on the news. Li Man felt sorry for San Er, despite the fact that she disliked her. She felt anxious and sad for her because it had been a whole night of searching and the possibility of survival was almost zero, especially with the heavy rain that had occurred.

Li Man kept an eye on the news.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that she saw the news that San Er's body had been retrieved. She was found in the sewer near the sewage treatment plant and had no signs of life.

Life returned to normal.

Huang De Han spent his days happily dating Xiao Xiao.

Li Man was busy running her business every day.

One day, Li Man went to a hotel for business, and as she was about to enter, she saw Tan Xi Yuan's husband Lu Feng walking out with a young and beautiful woman. They were very intimate, and their relationship didn't seem ordinary.

Li Man's heart tightened, and she quickly retreated to a hidden corner, took out her phone, and secretly took a few pictures.

The two of them left the hotel and got into a car, speeding away.

Li Man stared at the photo on her phone, unsure of what to do. She really wanted to send the photo to Huang De Han, but she was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it.

However, Li Man didn't want to keep it a secret from her close friend. After much thought, she decided to call Huang De Han.

"Why do you have time to call me? Aren't you supposed to be busy with work today?" came Huang De Han's cheerful voice from the other end of the phone.
