Chapter 94: The Oxygen Tank was turned off.
Chapter 94
Huang De Han swam past Li Man.
When Li Man saw Huang De Han swim away, she breathed a sigh of relief. But soon after, she began to feel difficulty in breathing.
Li Man panicked and quickly took a few breaths, but she couldn't get any oxygen. It felt like she was sucking on vacuum, and her chest became tight and painful.
Oh no!
Her first instinct was to turn around and find someone, but there was no one around her. The nearest person was about four or five meters away.
She swam towards them desperately, sliding her hands on her chest, using the distress signal she had been taught during diving.
This gesture indicated that she was experiencing a serious problem while diving — running out of air.
The diving guide not far away noticed Li Man's distress and quickly swam over.
Li Man's hands kept sliding on her chest. By this time, she was almost at her limit, her face turned red, her neck swollen, and her head spinning.
The diving guide quickly took out Li Man's spare breathing apparatus and put it in her mouth.
Li Man took a deep breath but choked on seawater. She quickly removed the spare breathing apparatus from her mouth, coughing up several mouthfuls of water. She was on the verge of suffocation, her chest felt like it was about to explode.
Fear surged in her heart.
Seeing this, the diving guide immediately used their own spare breathing apparatus and inserted it into Li Man's mouth.
After taking a few breaths of oxygen, Li Man gradually calmed down.
The diving guide helped Li Man to ascend to the surface.
As soon as she emerged from the water, Li Man took big gulps of fresh air, her head pounding with pain. She felt disoriented, and her chest was still hurting.
The diving guide looked at her with concern and asked in broken Chinese, "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Li Man took a while to recover before waving her hand at the diving guide, "No, I just need to rest."
The diving guide took Li Man's oxygen cylinder and realized that the valve on her cylinder was closed.
"Someone closed your oxygen cylinder."
The diving guide's brow furrowed. Closing someone else's oxygen cylinder while diving was nothing short of attempted murder!
"Do you know who closed your oxygen cylinder?" the diving guide asked with a serious expression.
Li Man's face filled with fear. She had almost died underwater!
Li Man nodded lightly. Of course, she knew who did it. Besides Huang De Han, who else could it be?
"Who was it?"
Li Man said softly, "Huang De Han!"
The diving guide immediately reported the incident.
As soon as Huang De Han surfaced, he was taken away.
"It wasn't me!"
Huang De Han adamantly denied it.
Without any eyewitnesses, they couldn't prove Huang De Han's guilt. After 24 hours, Huang De Han was released.
Back at the hotel, Huang De Han stormed towards Li Man. "Did you report me to the police?"
Li Man couldn't believe he had the audacity to question her. His thick skin was even thicker than city walls. She sneered and asked, "Wasn't it you?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that I did it?"
When Huang De Han approached Li Man's oxygen cylinder, he looked around and saw that there was no one around her. That's why he dared to make a move on her.
Li Man stared at Huang De Han, her eyes filled with undisguised anger. "Besides you, who else would want me dead?"
Huang De Han's eyes flickered, and he responded, "What are you saying? Why would I want you dead? What have you been thinking about all day? I kindly took you out to have fun, and you suspect that I want to harm you? Do you have any conscience?"
As he spoke, his voice grew louder, filled with frustration and anger.
