【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 114 Full of Tangles

The shouts of the men in black outside were getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the cellar was extremely tense. Every shout was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Ruan Jianan's eyes moved back and forth between the shadow and his companions, and his heart was full of entanglement. His knuckles turned white from exerting too much force, his brows were tightly knitted together, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He was struggling fiercely in his heart. On the one hand, he had an instinctive suspicion of strangers, and on the other hand, he had the urgent situation and the desire to escape.

Lin Yanan's eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. She tightly grasped the corner of Ruan Jianan's clothes and said in a trembling voice, "Jianan, I'm so scared. What should we do?" Her body kept shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind. Tears welled up in her eyes and could burst out at any time.

Cheng Feng was so anxious that he stamped his feet, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead: "We can't hesitate any longer, Ruan Jianan, we have to make a decision!" His voice became sharp because of his anxiety, and he waved his hands in the air, showing his extreme inner anxiety.

Qin Hao had a serious face and looked at Ruan Jianan with firm eyes: "I don't think we can trust this stranger easily. The risk is too great." His eyes revealed determination and caution. His injured leg made him unsteady, but his will did not waver at all.

The strange man pondered for a moment: "But this may be our only chance. If we miss it, we may never be able to leave again." His expression was solemn, and there was a hint of desire for survival in his eyes.

Ruan Jianan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at the shadow, then at his companions, and felt a conflict in his heart. He knew that this decision was related to everyone's life and death. If he made the wrong choice, the consequences would be disastrous.

The black shadow seemed to see his hesitation and spoke again: "I really have no ill intentions. If you don't believe me, you can subdue me now, but time is really running out." There was a hint of urgency in his voice and sincerity in his eyes.

At this moment, there was a loud crash outside, as if the men in black were forcibly searching the nearby houses. The crash was like thunder exploding in their ears, making everyone's hearts suddenly tighten.

Lin Yanan screamed in fear and shrank back involuntarily. Her face turned pale and her lips lost their color.

Ruan Jianan gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Okay, we'll go with you, but if you dare to play any tricks, I will never let you go!" There was determination in his voice and his eyes revealed firm determination.

The shadow nodded and turned to walk deeper into the cellar.

Everyone followed closely behind, feeling uneasy. Every step they took seemed like they were stepping into an unknown abyss.

The tunnel was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell, and water droplets kept dripping from the walls, making a dripping sound.

Lin Yanan couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, frowning. Her eyes narrowed due to discomfort, and her steps became a little staggering.

As Cheng Feng walked, he observed his surroundings vigilantly, his eyes wide open, not missing any suspicious movements.

Qin Hao walked with a limp because of his leg injury, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. His face turned pale because of the pain, but his eyes were full of determination.

The strange man carefully protected the crowd behind him, holding a stone tightly in his hand in case of emergency.

Suddenly, a fork appeared in front of us. One passage led to the left, and the other to the right. Both passages looked deep and dark, making it impossible to tell which one was the correct way out.

The shadow stopped and hesitated for a moment. "The passage on the left may be safer, but it may also be full of unknown dangers. The passage on the right is said to have traps, but if you can pass through it smoothly, you can leave here faster."

Everyone looked at each other, with an embarrassment on their faces.

Ruan Jianan pondered for a moment and said, "We can't take the risk of taking the road with traps, so let's go to the left."

Everyone nodded in agreement and carefully walked into the passage on the left.

The corridor was unusually quiet, with only the sounds of people's footsteps and breathing.

Lin Yanan's heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence, and her palms were full of sweat.

Cheng Feng's breathing became rapid and his eyes were full of tension.

Qin Hao bit his lips, trying hard not to groan in pain.

The strange man followed closely behind, always on guard.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a strange sound in front of me, like something was crawling...
