【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 102: Light in Despair

Everyone looked at the iron fence in front of them, their hearts filled with despair.

Ruan Jianan pulled the iron fence hard, trying to break it, but it didn't move at all. His hands were throbbing with veins from the excessive force, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead onto the ground. "Damn it! Why can't I open it!" He roared, his eyes revealing anxiety and helplessness.

Lin Yanan collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Are we really at our wit's end?" She cried, her body trembling with fear and despair. Her hair was messy and stuck to her face, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost all hope.

Cheng Feng was looking for other ways out, his eyes were anxious, his hands were constantly groping on the wall. "There must be another way, there must be!" He muttered to himself, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Qin Hao frowned, thinking about countermeasures. "There must be a way. We can't just give up like this." Although his voice was firm, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. He paced back and forth, and the anxiety in his heart made him unable to calm down.

At this moment, Ruan Jianan suddenly heard a faint sound of flowing water.

"Listen, there seems to be the sound of flowing water." Ruan Jianan's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope. He listened attentively, and the expression on his face gradually changed from despair to expectation.

Everyone fell silent and listened carefully. As expected, the sound of flowing water was particularly clear in the silent tunnel.

"Maybe we can find the exit by following the direction of the water flow." Cheng Feng. A spark of hope rekindled in his eyes, and his voice became excited.

Ruan Jianan nodded and said, "We can only give it a try." His eyes were firm. Although his heart was full of uncertainty, he had no other choice at this time.

They moved forward with difficulty in the direction of the sound of the water. The tunnel became more and more humid, and the water under their feet became deeper and deeper. The water was icy cold, and every step they took felt like being pricked by countless needles.

Lin Yanan's shoes were soaked, and every step was very strenuous, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. Her lips were already purple from the cold, and her body was trembling slightly, but there was an unyielding light in her eyes.

As we walked, a narrow hole appeared in front of us, and water was flowing out from there.

"The entrance to this cave is too small, can we get through?" Lin Yanan asked worriedly. She looked at the entrance of the cave, her heart filled with fear, and her voice began to tremble.

Ruan Jianan observed the cave entrance and said, "Everyone, throw away the extra things on your body and try to shrink your body as much as possible. It should work." His voice was steady and firm, giving everyone a little courage.

Everyone did as they were told and entered the cave one after another.

The space in the cave was very narrow, and they could only crawl with difficulty. The stone wall was rough and uneven, scraping their bodies and causing waves of pain.

While crawling, Lin Yanan accidentally got hit on the shoulder by a protruding stone, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain. "Ah!"

"Yanan, hold on!" Ruan Jianan shouted from the front.

"I'm fine, keep going." Lin Yanan said while enduring the pain.

Just then, the sound of a man in black chasing after them was heard from behind.

"Hurry up, they're catching up!" Qin Hao urged, his voice full of tension and fear.

They sped up their crawling, but the cave seemed to have no end. In the darkness, there were only the sounds of their rapid breathing and the friction of their bodies against the stone wall.

Ruan Jianan was filled with anxiety. He didn't know whether this hole could really lead them to safety, nor did he know when the men in black would catch up with him. But he knew that he couldn't stop and couldn't give up.

Lin Yanan's strength gradually declined and his speed slowed down.

"Yanan, come on!" Cheng Feng encouraged her from behind.

"I...I really have no strength left." Lin Yanan's voice was filled with tears.

Ruan Jianan turned around and reached out to hold Lin Yanan. "Don't give up, we'll be there soon!"

Just when they were about to despair, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of them...
