Divas Hit the Road 5: My eye-catching bag has my older sister going crazy for me.

Bai Zhiruo took a deep breath. "We're sure. Someone came here and took the key."

The man sneered, "You hid the key here without telling anyone, 2.5?"

Bai Zhiruo remained silent.

The man continued with a cold laugh, "Actually, I know without you saying it that the key is with one of you."

Bai Zhiruo's companion was startled. "What are you talking about? How did you know?"

The man didn't answer her question, but just looked at Bai Zhiruo and asked, "Was it you? Did you take the key?"

Chapter 119: I've Been Waiting for You for So Long

Bai Zhiruo remained silent.

The man sneered, "No need to deny it, I've suspected you for a long time. In fact, I suspect both of you."

Bai Zhiruo's companion was taken aback. "What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

The man didn't answer him, but just looked at Bai Zhiruo, "The reason you took the key is because you wanted to keep the treasure for yourself, right?"

Bai Zhiruo did not answer him, but just looked at him with fear in her eyes.

The man sneered, "Don't be afraid, I'll show you." With that, he took out a syringe and injected it into Bai Zhiruo.

Bai Zhiruo screamed in pain, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

The man stopped. "Tell me, where did you take the keys?"

Bai Zhiruo bit her lip. "I threw it into the river."

The man sneered, "You lied to me. You actually hid the key, didn't you?"

Bai Zhiruo hesitated, not daring to agree. At this moment, she desperately hoped that Chen Ran would come to save her.

Meanwhile, Chen Ran was going crazy searching for Bai Zhiruo.

"Bai Zhiruo, where are you?" Chen Ran shouted as he drove, searching for her.

Chen Ran grew increasingly anxious. Where had Bai Zhiruo gone? He kept dialing Bai Zhiruo's number, but no one answered.

Just as Chen Ran was feeling desperate, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Bai Zhiruo calling.

"Bai Zhiruo! Where are you?" Chen Ran asked anxiously.

A weak voice came through the phone, "Chen Ran, I'm in an abandoned house, come and save me."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Ran immediately drove to the abandoned house. He was filled with worry and fear, wondering what danger Bai Zhiruo had encountered.

When he arrived at the abandoned house, he saw Bai Zhiruo and her companion tied together, looking quite disheveled.

Chen Ran, the man who loves you to the extreme, finally arrived, revealing a wicked smile.

Seeing this, Chen Ran felt a surge of anger. "What did you do to her?"

The man sneered, "You've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Ran looked at Bai Zhiruo, whose body was covered in wounds and whose eyes were filled with fear. He was heartbroken and wished he could send these people to prison immediately.

"Why did you hurt her?" Chen Ran asked angrily.

The man sneered, "Because we want that treasure, but she won't tell us where the key is."

Chen Ran took a deep breath. "I will give you the key, but you must let her go."

The man considered for a moment, then said, "Okay, we'll let her go, but you have to hand over the key to us."

　570 Chen Ran nodded, “Okay, I will give you the key, but you must leave here now.”

The man agreed and took out a syringe, preparing to inject Bai Zhiruo with the drug. However, Chen Ran preemptively pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the man.

"Don't move! Put down the syringe!" Chen Ran shouted.

The man froze; he hadn't expected Chen Ran to have a pistol. He tried to resist, but Chen Ran pointed the pistol at his head.

"Put down the syringe! Get out of here immediately!" Chen Ran shouted again.

The man was forced to put down the syringe, and he and his accomplices immediately left the scene.

Chapter 120: Things Are Beyond Your Control

"Put down the syringe! Get out of here immediately!" Chen Ran shouted again.

The man was forced to put down the syringe, and he and his accomplices immediately left the scene.

Chen Ran watched them leave, feeling a sense of relief. He walked over to Bai Zhiruo and helped her up.

"Bai Zhiruo, are you alright?" Chen Ran asked with concern.

Bai Zhiruo nodded. "I'm fine. Thank you for saving me."

Chen Ran took a deep breath. "I'll take you to the hospital."

They left the abandoned house and returned to their car. Chen Ran drove to the hospital, and they remained silent the entire way.

"Chen Ran," Bai Zhiruo suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

Chen Ran was stunned. "Why are you apologizing?"

Bai Zhiruo was silent for a moment, then said, "Because I shouldn't have kept the treasure a secret from you. If I had told you, this wouldn't have happened."

Chen Ran looked at her, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, "Silly girl, it's not your fault. This is not something you can control..."

Bai Zhiruo held Chen Ran's hand tightly, "Chen Ran, I love you."

Chen Ran felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected Bai Zhiruo to confess her feelings to him during this crisis. He stopped the car, looked into Bai Zhiruo's eyes, and said, "I love you too, Bai Zhiruo." After saying that, he gently kissed Bai Zhiruo's forehead.

They continued driving to the hospital, their hands clasped tightly together the whole way.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Ran helped Bai Zhiruo into the emergency room. The doctor examined Bai Zhiruo and found several abrasions and bruises on her body, but nothing serious.

Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief. "Doctor, how is she?"

The doctor nodded. "There's nothing seriously wrong, but he needs to stay in the hospital for observation."

Chen Ran agreed. He sat by Bai Zhiruo's bedside, held her hand, and stayed with her the whole time.

The next morning, the police arrived at the hospital and, after learning what had happened, took Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo back to the police station to give their statements. They told the police everything, including the kidnapping of them by the man and his accomplices.

The police carefully recorded the statements and told them they would investigate the case. Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo also provided photos and information about the man and his accomplices, hoping to help the police solve the case as soon as possible.

After giving their statements, Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo left the police station. They got back into their car, ready to leave. However, as Chen Ran started the car, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was a call from his father. He took a deep breath and answered the phone.

The father's stern voice came through the phone, "Chen Ran, have you found the treasure?"

Chen Ran was stunned. "Dad, how did you know?"

The father was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, I've always known about that treasure. I tried to find it, but I failed. Now it seems you've found it."

Chen Ran was shocked. "Dad, why do you (Li Zhao's) want to find that treasure?"

The father explained, “There’s a huge secret in this treasure, a secret about our family history. I need to find it and unlock that secret.”

Chen Ran was puzzled, "What exactly is the secret?"

The father didn't answer, but instead asked, "Where are you now? I'll come find you right away."

Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm at the hospital; Bai Zhiruo is injured."

Chapter 121: Family History

The father was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll be right there," and hung up the phone.

Chen Ran stared at his phone, feeling confused and worried. He didn't know why his father had come here, but something seemed off.

Bai Zhiruo noticed Chen Ran's worry. "What's wrong?"

Chen Ran sighed, "My dad called and said he's coming to the hospital. I don't know what he's going to do here, but something feels off."

Bai Zhiruo was also worried, "What should we do then?"

Chen Ran gripped the steering wheel tightly. "It's okay, let's keep driving. If anything goes wrong, we'll figure something out."

They continued driving, but their worry and confusion deepened. Chen Ran's father arrived at the hospital soon after, and Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo became even more anxious upon seeing his car. They didn't know why their father had come, but they had a bad feeling.

The father got out of the car and walked into the hospital. Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo watched his retreating figure, their hearts filled with confusion and fear.

The father entered the ward and saw Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo. He was silent for a moment, then said, "You found the treasure, didn't you?"

Chen Ran looked at him, confused and afraid. "Dad, why do you want to find that treasure? What secrets does that treasure hold?"

The father looked at them. “You have the right to know the truth. This treasure holds a great secret, a secret about our family history. I need to find it and unravel it.”

Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo exchanged a glance, sensing an ominous premonition in their father's words. "What exactly is the secret?" Chen Ran asked.

The father did not answer immediately, but looked at the two of them and said, “I need you to help me find the treasure and unlock the secret.”

His voice carried an urgency, a sense of desperation. Chen Ran and Bai Zhiruo sensed their father's fervor and determination, and felt a pang of fear.

"Why us? We have no blood relation with you."
