They quickened their pace, and Lin Yuxin's mood grew heavier. As she walked, she kept asking herself why Lin Yi and Lin Yuhan always intruded into her life just when she was about to let go.
"Don't worry too much; maybe things aren't as bad as they seem," Xiao Chen said softly to comfort her.
Lin Yuxin nodded slightly, but her brows remained tightly furrowed.
Finally, they arrived at the place where Lin Yi and Lin Yuhan were. It was a somewhat dilapidated warehouse, surrounded by an oppressive atmosphere.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuxin mustered her courage and stepped inside. The warehouse was dimly lit, and there stood Lin Yi and Lin Yuhan, their faces filled with anxiety and fatigue.
"Yuxin, you’re here," Lin Yi said, a glimmer of surprise flashing in his eyes upon seeing her.
Lin Yuxin did not respond; she merely looked at him coldly.
"We're in big trouble," Lin Yuhan said urgently. "Some people are after us; they want to steal an important document we have."
Lin Yuxin frowned and asked, "What document? Why would anyone be after you?"
Lin Yi explained, "This document is related to a major project. If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences would be severe. We intended to hand it over to someone reliable, but now we’re trapped."
Lin Yuxin felt a surge of conflict within her; she didn't know whether to help them. At that moment, Xiao Chen spoke up, "Let's find a way to get out of here first."
They began searching for an exit, but it seemed there was no way out of the warehouse. Just when despair began to set in, a sharp meow pierced the silence.
Lin Yuxin looked down to see a small cat running toward a corner. They followed the cat and discovered a hidden passageway there.
"Great!" Lin Yuhan exclaimed excitedly.
They cautiously entered the passageway, which was filled with a damp smell. After walking for a while, they finally saw the exit.
However, when they emerged from the passage, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place. It was desolate, with only a few dilapidated houses around.
"What do we do now?" Lin Yuxin asked.
Xiao Chen surveyed the surroundings with a serious expression. "First, we need to find somewhere safe to settle down and discuss our next plan."
They walked toward one of the relatively intact houses. Pushing the door open, a musty odor rushed out to greet them. The room was covered in dust and cobwebs, clearly having been uninhabited for a long time.
Lin Yuxin gently placed the small cat on the ground; it looked around warily. Lin Yuhan leaned against the wall with an exhausted expression and said, "We can't keep hiding like this; we need to find a way to safely deliver the document."
Lin Yi nodded and turned to Lin Yuxin. "Yuxin, I know I hurt you before, but this time I really hope you can help us. This document is too important; it can't fall into the wrong hands."
Lin Yuxin bit her lip, feeling deeply conflicted. On one hand, she had complicated feelings for Lin Yi; on the other hand, she didn't want to get caught up in their troubles again.
Xiao Chen noticed Lin Yuxin's turmoil and said, "Yuxin, you don't have to decide right away. We can observe the situation first before making any plans."
Just then, a sudden commotion erupted outside. Their hearts tightened, and they hurried to the window to take a look. A group of strangers was searching the area, clearly looking for them.
"How did they catch up so quickly?" Lin Yuhan exclaimed in panic.
Xiao Chen calmly analyzed, "It’s possible we left some traces in the passage. We need to find a way to leave here as soon as possible."
Lin Yuxin clutched the little cat tightly, filled with fear. She didn’t know if they could escape from these pursuers or what dangers lay ahead.
"We can split into two groups—one to distract them while the other escapes," Lin Yi suggested.
"That's too dangerous," Lin Yuhan countered. "We can't separate."
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe we can find a place to hide and wait until they leave before figuring out our next move."
They searched the house for a hiding spot and eventually discovered a basement. It was dark and damp but relatively concealed.
Cautiously, they slipped into the basement and closed the door. The noise outside grew louder, and their hearts raced.
The little cat seemed to sense the tense atmosphere, quietly nestled in Lin Yuxin's arms. She gently stroked its fur, trying to calm herself down.
Time ticked by slowly, and eventually, the sounds outside began to fade. They breathed a sigh of relief but still hesitated to venture out.
"What should we do now?" Lin Yuxin asked again.
Xiao Chen replied, "Let’s wait a bit longer until we’re sure they’ve really left. Then we need to find a safe place and figure out how to send the documents out."
Lin Yuxin nodded, her heart heavy with worry and unease. She didn’t know if they could successfully evade their pursuers or who would ultimately end up with the documents.
They waited quietly in the basement, each minute stretching on interminably. Lin Yuxin's heartbeat echoed loudly in the silence; she held the little cat tightly, drawing courage from its small body.
Lin Yi and Lin Yuhan also appeared tense, glancing frequently at the entrance of the basement, fearing that those people might burst in at any moment. Xiao Chen remained vigilant, listening intently to any sounds from outside.
After a long while, Xiao Chen softly said, "I think it should be safe now; let’s go take a look." Everyone hesitated but knew they couldn’t hide there forever.
They carefully opened the basement door and stepped outside slowly. It was eerily quiet; those people seemed to have truly left. Lin Yuxin let out a long breath, though her worries had not completely dissipated.
"Where do we go now?" Lin Yuhan asked.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment before responding, "We can't go to places that are easy to find; we need somewhere secluded and safe. I remember seeing an abandoned factory on our way here; it might be a good temporary hiding spot."
Everyone agreed unanimously and headed toward the abandoned factory. They remained cautious along the way, constantly alert to their surroundings.
When they arrived at the factory, they found it rundown but indeed very concealed. They settled into a relatively clean corner.
Lin Yuxin looked at Lin Yi and finally couldn’t help but ask, "How important is this document? Why are those people chasing you so desperately?"
Lin Yi sighed and said, "This document involves a significant business secret. If it falls into the hands of our competitors, our company will face a huge crisis."
Lin Yuxin furrowed her brow and asked, "Then why don't you hand the document over to the police?"
With a sense of helplessness, Lin Yi replied, "We considered that, but we're not sure if there are spies among the police. If the document gets into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Just as they were discussing this, a sharp cry from the little cat suddenly pierced the air. Their hearts tightened—could it be that those people were chasing them again? They quickly stood up, preparing to find another hiding place.
However, when they looked in the direction of the sound, they were met with an unexpected sight. A mysterious man stood there, his gaze cold and indifferent as he watched them.
"Did you really think you could escape?" the mysterious man said coldly.
In that instant, Lin Yuxin and the others found themselves in grave danger. They had no idea who this mysterious man was or how he had tracked them down. But one thing was clear: a far more difficult battle was about to begin.
