CHAPTER 1187: CHAPTER 1187: GATHERING (10)

At this moment, An Yiqing’s small face was streaked with sweat mixed with dust, her unfocused eyes staring forward. A sudden unease surged in the hearts of Ah Mi and Dashan.

"Xiao Yu, what are you trying to do?" Ah Mi looked at her warily. Before An Yiqing could speak, she grabbed her hand. "You promised! We leave together!"

However, Ah Mi’s strength wasn’t enough to pull An Yiqing. Instead, she was yanked forward by her.

"Ah Mi, times have changed! I can’t see, and I’ll only be a burden to you. This life of mine was saved by you and Grandma in the first place, and these days have already been extra time for me! Meeting you has made me so happy. From now on, you have to live well for me!"

As she finished speaking, accompanied by Ah Mi’s piercing scream, An Yiqing swung her arm and sent her sliding across the ground!

At this moment, rocks from the cave ceiling were already falling down uncontrollably. The sounds of cracking and the crashing of stones hitting the ground were terrifying.

"Brother Dashan, grab Grandma!"

"Xiao Yu, no!"

Accompanied by Dashan’s desperate shout, An Yiqing repeated her earlier movements, exerting even more force to send Dashan and Grandma sliding across the ground.

Before throwing them out, she deliberately positioned Dashan on the ground, with Grandma on top. This way, even if they encountered impact at the cave entrance, Grandma wouldn’t be hurt.

An Yiqing’s calculation was extremely precise. Her strength was just enough to send everyone safely out of the cave entrance.

"Xiao Yu! Get out here! Xiao Yu!"

Ah Mi, who had been thrown to the ground in disarray, got up clumsily and tried to rush back into the cave, only to nearly be crushed by a massive boulder, as tall as a person, that suddenly fell!

"Brother Dashan! Come help me! We can’t let Xiao Yu get hurt! Quickly, move the rock away!"

Ah Mi wasn’t very strong. Desperately shouting, she and Dashan hugged the massive rock blocking the cave entrance with all their might and tossed it aside.

But to their despair, although the rock was removed, the passage was still densely packed with stones! Moreover, large chunks of rock were continuing to fall from the cave ceiling!

Boom——

"No! Don’t! Xiao Yu, no!"

"Sister Xiao Yu!——"

Ah Mi and Dashan’s heart-wrenching cries were drowned in the deafening sound of the collapse. Powerless, they knelt on the jagged stones, staring in despair at the now-sealed cave entrance!

"Xiao Yu, you bastard! Who gave you permission to die! You said you’d be my best friend for life——"

"Boom——!"

Amidst Ah Mi’s desperate sobs and screams, the massive boulder blocking the cave entrance suddenly shattered, sending countless shards flying outward!

Dashan quickly shielded Grandma with his body, simultaneously pushing Ah Mi down to the ground.

A moment later, when the flying debris had subsided, Dashan and Ah Mi slowly lifted their heads.

Amid the swirling dust, a man dressed in black, as imposing as a king, walked out of the cave with steady steps, an aura of cold menace surrounding him.

In his arms, he held an unconscious young woman.

It was none other than An Yiqing!

"Xiao—Xiao Yu?! Are you all right? Xiao Yu!"

Ah Mi and Dashan were momentarily stunned. Then, overcome with joy and tears, they scrambled over to An Yiqing’s side. Ignoring the icy aura of the man, they reached out to take her from his arms.

"Don’t touch her!"

A cold, commanding voice made Ah Mi and Dashan shudder.

"Who...who are you?..."

At that moment, a muffled noise came from inside the cave again. Shortly afterward, several dirty but handsome men, along with a cat and a dog, crawled out in a sorry state.

"Damn! What kind of hellhole is this?!" One red-haired man dusted himself off and grinned at Ah Mi and Dashan.

"Heh heh! Hello! This is the person Xiao Yu loves the most—and her fiancé—Gu Yelin!"
