Sweat began to bead up on his forehead.

"Phew..."

Ye Fei released a sigh of frustration. He still had nothing.

When he became a true martial master, he would naturally understand the secret of the ancestral throwing knife.

"Forget it. As the saying goes, things always have a way of working themselves out in the end. I've got to take it easy."

Ye Fei picked up his mobile phone and found a text from Lin Qingwan, informing him that she and Chu Mo were eating out and he should eat something with Liu Manman.　

"Am I a bodyguard or a housekeeper?" Ye Fei shook his head and walked to the door of the bathroom. The light was on and the sound of running water came from inside.

"Hey, Chu Mo isn't coming back soon. I'm going to order takeout. What do you want to eat?"

No answer.

"What's going on? Did you fall asleep in the bathtub?"

Ye Fei was very puzzled. Liu Manman seemed to be in a good mood just now, and didn't look particularly tired.

"Is everything okay?" Ye Fei pounded on the door. Even if she was asleep, she would have woken up from that noise, but there was no sound from inside. He had an ominous feeling, so he kicked the door in and rushed through.

Heavy, hazy vapors hung in the room, making Ye Fei feel like he was walking through a cloud.

He went straight to the tub.　

The water inside the bathtub was dark scarlet, as if filled with blood.

Liu Manman was lying unconscious in the bathtub, her face pale, one hand holding a knife, and a long slit across her wrist. Her phone was at the bottom of the tub, drenched and short-circuited.

Manman was naked in the bathtub, her slim and exquisite body exposed in front of Ye Fei.

After a short moment, Ye Fei got a grip on himself and picked her up from the bathtub, rus.h.i.+ng her back to the living room.

Meanwhile, the door of the apartment opened and Murong came in, humming to herself.　

"What the?"

Seeing this scene, Murong stared at him in shock.

"Call an ambulance, quick! Manman slit her wrists."

Ye Fei rushed to the sofa and put Manman down, tightly squeezing her wrist with his fingers.

Murong was still in shock, watching him with a dumbfounded expression from the doorway.

Just that morning, Liu Manman had seemed perfectly fine and cheerful. Why would she try to commit suicide now?

"Hurry up! She's in bad shape!" Although Ye Fei was calm, his tone was inevitably anxious.

"Oh, right! Okay!" Murong hurriedly pulled out her phone.

Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and the paramedics took Liu Manman to the hospital. Ye Fei and Murong went with her.

At the hospital, Liu Manman was taken directly to the operating room, leaving Ye Fei and Murong to pace around in the waiting room like ants on a hot pan.

Half an hour later, Lin Qingwan and Chu Mo showed up in a hurry. Finding out that Liu Manman was still in surgery and still in a precarious condition, Lin Qingwan went straight for Ye Fei: "What the h.e.l.l did you do? I told you to take care of Manman, but you... Did you say something to her? How could you let this happen!?"

"Qingwan, leave it. He didn't mean for this to happen," Chu Mo said, but her tone was much the same.

"I..." Ye Fei didn't know what to tell them.

It happened, and there was no use explaining it again.

Moreover, he felt deeply guilty about it.

Liu Manman was an adult, and she was also a woman. She went to take a bath, and Ye Fei certainly could not go in to keep an eye on her.

Besides, he too failed to notice anything unusual with Liu Manman. She seemed fine.

There had to be some reason behind this sudden suicide attempt, but he couldn't think of anything at the moment.

"Ye Fei, just f.u.c.k off!" Lin Qingwan roared in the middle of the corridor, "I don't want to see you right now. If anything happens to Manman, I... I'll never forgive you!"

Murong hurriedly pulled her aside. "Qingwan... Calm down."

Ye Fei walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor and leaned over the railing with a deep frown on his face. This was all too strange, and he needed some time to think about it. Why would Liu Manman decide to kill herself so suddenly?

Not long after, the door of the operating room opened and a doctor came out. "Are you the patient's relatives?"

The three women immediately surrounded him. "We... We're her friends. Is she going to be okay? Is the surgery over?"

"The patient is not in the clear yet. She needs a blood transfusion, so please ask any relatives of her you know to come here as soon as possible. She has a rare RH negative blood type and we don't have any in our blood bank," the doctor said in a hurry.

RH negative blood!

The women were stunned.
