The air in the alley was dank, as if even time had stood still. Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan ran like deer chasing the wind, their hearts pounding in their chests as if they were about to burst. The shadows around them were like ghosts, approaching and retreating. Only the faint light at the end of the alley seemed like the dawn of hope.

"Hurry, go over there!" Yun Mengting pointed to a narrow exit, her face filled with anxiety, "It might be safer there!"

Ling Xuan nodded without hesitation, but the tension in his heart made him frown. He could hear hurried footsteps and low commands. "Don't let them get away!"

"We have to separate!" Yun Mengting said without hesitation, her eyes flashing with determination. "I'll attract them, and you go around from behind!"

"This is too dangerous! We must escape together!" Ling Xuan said anxiously, with endless worry in his eyes.

"I can do it!" Yun Mengting said in a firm tone. She suddenly grabbed a branch and threw it hard against the wall with a loud noise. Then she ran to another alley, leaving a blurry shadow for the guards to chase.

"Go quickly!" Although Ling Xuan was anxious, he knew that Yun Mengting's plan was a turning point and he had to follow her decision.

Deep in the alley, Yun Mengting desperately searched for a hiding place, trying to hold her breath. The sound of footsteps grew closer, making her heart pound like thunder. "I can't let them find me now!" she prayed silently, her eyes darting around.

"Look! It's over there!" The guards chased after him quickly and relentlessly.

Yun Mengting felt a chill wash over her heart, thinking silently: If I get caught, all my previous efforts will be in vain. Just then, she heard the low voices of several guards discussing.

"We can't let this little thief get away!" One of the voices was filled with anger.

Suddenly, an idea struck her. She grabbed a stone and threw it at the wall. The sound was like thunder, which instantly attracted the attention of the guards.

"What's that sound? Go check it out!" The guards turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound.

"Now!" Yun Mengting's heart tightened, and she immediately seized the opportunity and rushed towards another exit.

At the same time, Ling Xuan's heart was as tense as a fully drawn bow. He cleverly used the corners of the alley to delay the pursuing guards one by one. Clutching the evidence left by Yun Mengting tightly in his hand, he felt a growing sense of unease.

Just as he was straining his nerves, he finally saw Yun Mengting. She was like a ray of light, running towards him. At that moment, their eyes met, and the tacit understanding and trust between them silently grew.

"Are you okay?" Ling Xuan asked with concern, his voice full of tension.

"I'm fine! Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Yun Mengting did not stop, but pulled his hand and ran out, her heart full of firm belief.

"We must hand over this evidence immediately!" Yun Mengting said, with an unyielding light in her eyes.

"I will definitely try my best!" Ling Xuan's voice was extremely firm. He recalled all the possibilities of failure in his mind and was determined not to let this opportunity go to waste.

As they sped through the alley, the guards behind them gradually moved away, but Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan knew that the crisis had not been resolved and new challenges might arise at any time.

The two panted, knowing that this game of power and intrigue had only just begun. No matter how difficult the road ahead, their mutual faith and courage would always burn, illuminating their path forward.
