Chapter 48 Before she could react, Huang Dehan pushed her into the well.
It was completely dark by then.
Raindrops pattered against the umbrella, making a pattering sound.
Huang Dehan held an umbrella in one hand and had his arm around San'er's slender waist with the other, walking slowly in the rain and mist.
The rain was heavy, visibility was very low, and everything was shrouded in fog.
Where should we go to eat?
A gust of cold wind blew by, and San'er couldn't help but shiver, shrinking his neck as he asked.
"There's a new private restaurant that just opened in the alley across the street. The food is pretty good, so I brought you here to try it." Huang Dehan's eyes were fixed on the road ahead. They were almost there, and his heart was starting to race. He was a little nervous and excited.
"So where's the surprise you promised me? Where is it?"
San'er's eyes were filled with undisguised curiosity. What surprise was Huang Dehan going to give her?
San'er was so engrossed in talking to Huang Dehan, and because it was dark and raining, she didn't notice that there was a manhole cover in front of her, its gaping mouth menacingly sucking up the rainwater from the surrounding area.
Closer and closer, just one step away. Huang Dehan's heart was pounding, thumping loudly like a drum.
Huang Dehan looked at San'er and suddenly started to laugh hysterically.
Not far away, there was a dim street lamp. Under the dim light, San'er was frightened by Huang Dehan's sinister and terrifying smile. Just as she was about to speak, Huang Dehan said, "We're here. This is the surprise I prepared for you."
"What...ah..."
Before San'er could react, Huang Dehan pushed her into the well. After a "plop" sound, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
San'er didn't even have time to shout before he disappeared into the eerie well.
Huang Dehan looked at the eerie well opening and revealed a maniacal and joyful smile.
"Zhao Yalin, you forced me to do this. Don't blame me; you were too greedy."
"Don't worry, I'll burn lots and lots of money for you. You wanted a house, right? I'll burn you a villa too, hahaha..."
Huang Dehan discovered this place a few days ago when he brought Xiaoxiao to eat. When he saw this sewer without a manhole cover, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with this brilliant idea.
He just didn't expect it to rain; it was as if even God was helping him.
He observed that there were no cameras in the vicinity because it was a small road that was not accessible to vehicles.
It's raining now, and there's not a soul in sight around here.
"Boom—"
A bolt of lightning ripped across the sky.
The image reflected Huang Dehan's distorted, manic face, making him appear particularly ferocious and terrifying, like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.
Huang Dehan took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke through his nostrils.
He stared silently at the well opening, making sure that San'er had completely disappeared into the sewer. He took another deep drag of his cigarette, flicked his finger, and the cigarette butt fell into the well opening in a smooth arc.
Huang Dehan composed himself, threw away the umbrella in his hand, and then took out his phone to call the police.
"Hello, is this the police? Please come quickly, my girlfriend has fallen into the sewer, please come quickly..." Huang Dehan cried out.
"Sir, please don't rush, tell me slowly, where are you now?"
"I'm at the intersection of Chunguang Road, please come quickly... Waaaaah..."
Huang Dehan cried out in anguish.
"Okay, okay, sir, don't worry, I've already notified the nearby police officers, they'll be there soon."
Shortly after the call ended, police and firefighters arrived.
Huang Dehan lay beside the well, crying out San'er's name, "Ya Lin, Ya Lin, you can't be hurt, how can I live without you..."
