【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 113 Shadow Allies?

The shadow slowly raised his hand, and the object in his hand was faintly visible in the dim light. The outline of the object was unclear, and everyone's heart instantly rose to their throats.

Ruan Jianan held the stick tightly, the veins on his arm bulging, "Don't mess around!" He shouted loudly, his voice full of tension and vigilance. His eyes shot straight at the shadow like a sharp sword, and his body leaned forward slightly, ready to attack at any time.

Lin Yanan covered her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes, and her body trembled constantly. Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, like a frightened deer.

Cheng Feng stared at the object in the shadow's hand, his heartbeat quickened rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. His breathing became rapid and disordered, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Qin Hao gritted his teeth and tried to stand up straight, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. His eyes were firm and resolute, and although his injured leg made him a little unstable, his momentum was not diminished at all.

The strange man took a small step forward, trying to see what the shadow was holding. His brows were furrowed, his eyes full of doubt and speculation.

The black shadow finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Don't be nervous, I'm not your enemy." His voice echoed in the small cellar with an inexplicable calmness.

Everyone did not let down their guard. Ruan Jianan frowned, "Who are you? Why are you here?" His voice was full of doubt, and he held the wooden stick in his hand tighter.

The black shadow was silent for a moment, "I'm here to help you." There was a hint of helplessness and eagerness in his tone.

"Help us?" Cheng Feng looked doubtful, "How to prove it?" His voice rose a few degrees with obvious distrust.

The shadow slowly approached and handed over the object in his hand. His movements were cautious, as if he was trying his best to avoid causing an overreaction from the crowd.

Ruan Jianan used a wooden stick to stop the black shadow from advancing, "Stop! Throw the thing over here first." His voice was stern and firm, without any sign of compromise.

The shadow did as he said and gently threw the things on the ground. When everyone looked closely, they found that it was some food and water. The aroma of the food instantly spread, making them swallow their saliva even though they were already starving.

Lin Yanan widened her eyes in surprise, "This..." There was a hint of surprise in her voice, but it was quickly replaced by vigilance.

Ruan Jianan still didn't dare to relax, "This doesn't mean anything." His eyes moved away from the food and fell on the black shadow again.

The black shadow sighed, "The men in black outside have begun to intensify their search. Time is running out. I can take you away from here." His eyes revealed anxiety and his voice became more urgent.

Qin Hao snorted coldly, "Who knows if you have other intentions?" His eyes were full of vigilance, and he was not moved at all by the black shadow's words.

The black shadow shook his head helplessly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you, but if you hesitate any longer, you will really have no chance." He swept his eyes over the crowd with an eager anticipation.

At this moment, the black-clad man shouted from outside. "Search carefully, don't miss any corner!" The voice was particularly clear in the rain, making the atmosphere in the cellar even more tense.

Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.

Lin Yanan tightly grasped Ruan Jianan's arm, her voice trembling, "What should I do?"

There was a flash of panic in Cheng Feng's eyes, "How about we trust him first?"

Ruan Jianan gritted his teeth and fell into deep thought.

Qin Hao said firmly, "Don't trust it easily. This might be a trap."

The strange man looked at the shadow, then looked outside, "But we don't have any other choice now."

The shadow spoke again, "Follow me, I know a secret passage."
