Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 48

The sky had completely darkened.

Raindrops beat against the umbrella, making a pitter-patter sound.

Huang De Han held the umbrella with one hand and embraced San Er's slender waist with the other, slowly walking through the rain and mist.

The rain was heavy, visibility was low, and the fog was thick.

"Where should we go for dinner?"

A gust of cold wind blew, causing San Er to shiver involuntarily. She huddled her neck and asked.

"There's a small private restaurant in the alley across the street. The food there is quite good, so I wanted to bring you to try it," Huang De Han replied, his eyes fixed ahead. They were almost there, and his heart began to beat faster, feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

"What about the surprise you mentioned? Where is it?"

San Er's eyes couldn't hide her curiosity. What surprise did Huang De Han have in store for her?

Lost in conversation with Huang De Han and with the darkness and rain, San Er didn't notice the open drain ahead, its sinister mouth greedily sucking in the rainwater.

They got closer, closer still, just one step away. Huang De Han's heart was pounding rapidly, like a drum beating loudly.

Huang De Han looked at San Er and suddenly burst into laughter.

Not far away, a dim street lamp cast a gloomy light. San Er was startled by Huang De Han's eerie and terrifying smile. She was about to say something when Huang De Han spoke, "We're here. This is the surprise I prepared for you."

"What... Ah..."

Before San Er could react, Huang De Han pushed her into the drain. With a loud thud, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

San Er didn't even have a chance to scream before she disappeared into the gloomy drain.

Huang De Han stared at the sinister drain, revealing a mad and ecstatic grin.

"Zhao YaLin, you forced me to do this. Don't blame me. You were too greedy."

"Don't worry, I'll burn a lot of money for you. You wanted a house, right? I'll even burn down a villa for you, hahaha..."

Huang De Han had discovered this place a few days ago when he brought Xiao Xiao here for a meal. When he saw the open drain without a cover, a brilliant idea crossed his mind.

Little did he know that it would rain today. It seemed even the heavens were helping him.

He had observed that there were no surveillance cameras nearby because this was a small road with no traffic.

And now, with the rain pouring down, there wasn't a single soul around.

"Boom—"

A lightning bolt tore through the sky.

It illuminated Huang De Han's distorted and maniacal face, making him look particularly ferocious and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Huang De Han took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep drag. He exhaled the smoke slowly through his nostrils.

He silently watched the drain, ensuring that San Er had completely disappeared into the sewer. Then he took another deep drag on his cigarette, flicked the ash with his finger, and watched it land perfectly in the drain in a smooth arc.

Huang De Han took a moment to gather his emotions before tossing aside the umbrella in his hand and reaching for his cellphone. With trembling fingers, he dialed the emergency number.

"Hello, police? Please come quickly! My girlfriend fell into the sewer. Please hurry!" Huang De Han cried out.

"Sir, please calm down and tell me slowly. Where are you right now?"

"I'm at the intersection of Chun Guang Road. Please come quickly... Sob... Sob..."

Huang De Han sobbed uncontrollably.

"Alright, alright, sir. Please don't worry. I have already informed the nearby police officers, and they will arrive shortly."

Not long after hanging up the phone, the police and firefighters arrived at the scene.

Huang De Han knelt beside the well, calling out Zhao YaLin's name in anguish. "YaLin, YaLin, please be safe. Without you, how can I go on...?"
