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

Meanwhile, Cheng Zhou, watching this scene through the monitor in the secret room, was furious: "Chen Ran, do you think you can fight me with just a little bit of skill? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning."

After gathering sufficient evidence, the police officially issued an arrest warrant for Cheng Zhou. The news was met with cheers from the public, but also with concern for the potentially greater crisis facing Chen Ran.

"Have you heard? Cheng Zhou is wanted! Now we can finally relax for a while."

"But Chen Ran and the others are probably in more danger. That guy is desperate and might do something crazy."

Hua Jiaming contacted his friends at Interpol to further investigate the criminal network behind Cheng Zhou. Tang Ningxin also mustered her courage and proactively revealed Cheng Zhou's crimes to the media (Li Nuohao), hoping to force Cheng Zhou to come forward through public pressure.

One night, Chen Ran received a mysterious phone call. The caller claimed to possess crucial intelligence about Chengzhou and arranged to meet at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. Chen Ran knew the trip was fraught with danger, but determined to eliminate the threat posed by Chengzhou, he resolutely chose to keep the appointment.

"Reba, I'll be right back." Chen Ran held her hand tightly. "You have to trust me."

Dilraba nodded with tears in her eyes, her gaze filled with trust and worry for Chen Ran: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."

Chen Ran drove alone to the abandoned factory. The surroundings were desolate and silent, with only the grating sound of the wind rustling the old iron gate. Just as he was about to enter, a deep voice came from the darkness.

"Chen Ran, we meet again." Cheng Zhou's figure slowly emerged from the shadows. "I know you've been looking for me, but I advise you to give up sooner rather than later."

Chen Ran's gaze was firm and fearless: "Cheng Zhou, your crimes are obvious. Today, I will end all of this."

Cheng Zhou sneered upon hearing this: "The end? You're really confident. Let me tell you the truth, I'm ready for one last gamble. Let's see if you have the guts to play this game with me to the very end."

Chen Ran was speechless for 593 minutes. Suddenly, his good friend Hua Jiaming came out from behind him, looking at Cheng Zhou with disdain, "I say, if you really like a girl, why don't you take the initiative to pursue her? Isn't it troublesome to do these dirty things all the time?"

The girl Hua Jiaming was referring to was naturally Dilraba.

When Chen Ran saw Hua Jiaming suddenly appear, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He understood that Hua Jiaming's appearance was no accident, but rather that he had come to help him.

Faced with Hua Jiaming's mockery, Cheng Zhou's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Hua Jiaming, you should think carefully about the consequences of interfering in this matter."

"Now that I'm here, I don't intend to leave empty-handed." Hua Jiaming patted Chen Ran on the shoulder, his face resolute. "We brothers will naturally share the burden. Besides, this matter concerns Reba's safety and reputation; how could I possibly stand idly by?"

There seemed to be movement in the surrounding shadows; clearly, Cheng Zhou's men were also lurking in the dark. The passersby, though frightened, were also drawn by the sudden conflict and began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Isn't that Cheng Zhou? I heard he's been doing some shady things."

"Those two young men are really bold, daring to confront Cheng Zhou head-on."

"That must be Chen Ran. I heard he's always upheld justice, and this time he's doing it to expose Cheng Zhou's crimes."

A fierce glint flashed in Cheng Zhou's eyes. He drew a dagger from his waist and approached step by step: "You two, you'll stay here today."

Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this duel was not only about upholding justice, but also a test of their brotherhood.

"Cheng Zhou, don't think you're the only one with a weapon." Before Chen Ran finished speaking, a tactical flashlight appeared in his hand, instantly illuminating the darkness and shining directly into Cheng Zhou's eyes.

"Jiaming, go!" Chen Ran shouted, and the two launched their attacks simultaneously. In an instant, the abandoned factory was filled with the glint of swords and the interplay of light and shadow, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Amid the chaos, a bystander exclaimed in amazement, "It's rare to see these two coordinate so well!"

Just as the battle reached its climax, sirens blared in the distance, and Cheng Zhou's face instantly turned pale. He gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Ran: "You guys are ruthless. I'll remember this!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Jiaming, seemingly unafraid of death, stuck out his tongue and said, "Trying to run away? Then go back and make sure you take a good note and remember this: my name is Hua Jiaming, and his name is Chen Ran."

Hua Jiaming pointed to Chen Ran beside him.

Cheng Zhou's eyes burned with rage, his clenched fists trembling slightly at his sides. Chen Ran, however, remained calm and composed, a smile playing on his lips, seemingly unconcerned about Cheng Zhou's threat.

Passersby whispered among themselves upon seeing this.

"Hey, look at that young man, he's so aggressive, like he's had a huge grudge against someone," an old man wearing reading glasses remarked, patting his knee.

"Isn't that Cheng Zhou in the black suit? I heard he's quite a figure in this city. How did he get so pissed off by these two young men?" The middle-aged woman next to her chimed in, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

On the other side, Hua Jiaming raised an eyebrow at Cheng Zhou, his face full of provocation, "Remember this well, lest you forget your name when you want revenge someday. However, I advise you to save your energy, after all, some debts can't be settled just because you want to."

Cheng Zhou's face turned ashen, but he forcefully suppressed his impending rage and said, word by word, "Fine, Hua Jiaming, Chen Ran, you two remember this, this debt will be settled sooner or later!"

The crowd fell silent instantly, stunned by the intense will to revenge emanating from Cheng Zhou. Someone in the crowd muttered, "What did these two young men do to provoke such anger in Cheng Zhou?"

Chen Ran chuckled softly, placing his hand on Hua Jiaming's shoulder, and calmly faced Cheng Zhou's threat: "We're ready anytime, but before that, I hope you can figure out who owes whom."

After saying that, the two turned and left side by side, leaving Cheng Zhou standing there gritting his teeth. The atmosphere became heavy and tense.

As the sirens grew closer, Cheng Zhou, seeing no hope of escape, glared fiercely at Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming, then turned and disappeared into the dark alleyway, vanishing without a trace. After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into a heated discussion.

"These two young men are really bold, daring to mess with even Cheng Zhou."

"That makes sense. Cheng Zhou has done so many bad things, someone should have come out and dealt with him a long time ago."

"Look how well they work together; they must be best buddies who grew up together."

"That Chen Ran is exceptionally skilled and upright; he is truly a great hero of our city."

"And then there's Hua Jiaming. Although he usually seems carefree and irresponsible, he's so responsible when it really matters."

Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, flashing police lights illuminated the abandoned factory in the distance, and several police cars sped towards them. Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming exchanged a knowing glance and smiled, knowing that the arrival of the police meant that Cheng Zhou's crimes were about to be exposed.

"Chen Ran, this time it's all thanks to your timely contact with your friends in Interpol, otherwise we wouldn't know how to deal with this cunning Cheng Zhou." Hua Jiaming patted Chen Ran on the shoulder, his tone full of trust and gratitude for his brother.

..... ...... ...

Chen Ran smiled and replied, "Jiaming, don't forget that you were the one who risked your life to go deep into the lion's den. Without your help, I would have had a hard time dealing with it alone."

Reba rushed to the scene and, seeing that the two were unharmed, felt a sense of relief. She quickly stepped forward and tightly grasped Chen Ran's hand: "That was too dangerous! You two must be careful in the future!"

Chen Ran held Reba's hand tightly and said affectionately, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will never let you get hurt."

An older woman in the crowd couldn't help but sigh, "These young people nowadays are truly fearless when it comes to justice and love." Damn.

At this moment, a policeman got out of the police car and walked towards Chen Ran and the others, holding an arrest warrant in his hand. He confirmed the direction Cheng Zhou had fled in, promised that the police would do their best to capture Cheng Zhou, and thanked them for their bravery.

"Gentlemen, thank you for the clues. We will bring Cheng Zhou to justice as soon as possible. But please be careful, as Cheng Zhou is now a fugitive and may do something even more outrageous than '593'."

Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming nodded, indicating that they understood. They knew that this battle was far from over, and that the criminal network behind Cheng Zhou still needed their joint efforts to expose it.

As night deepened, the streetlights shone on the three of them as they walked side by side on their way home, their hearts filled with determination and anticipation.

"Chen Ran, Hua Jiaming, no matter what difficulties we face in the future, I am willing to fight alongside you." Reba's words revealed unwavering determination.

“Then it’s a promise. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, we will walk it together.” Hua Jiaming patted the two of them on the shoulders heavily.

Chen Ran looked up at the starry sky, his eyes flashing with determination: "Cheng Zhou, our battle is far from over. Justice will eventually prevail over evil, and you won't be able to escape for long."

Cheng Zhou's escape did not lower Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming's guard; they understood that this was only a temporary victory. In the days that followed, the two cooperated even more closely, gathering intelligence on Cheng Zhou's criminal network through various channels. With their assistance, the police gradually uncovered the tip of the iceberg of this vast criminal empire.

One day, a grand charity gala was held in the city center square, attracting celebrities from all walks of life. Dilraba, a well-known actress, was invited to attend, while Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming disguised themselves as her bodyguards, secretly observing the crowd.

"Look over there, isn't that the detective Chen Ran who's been making waves lately in the news, wearing a black suit?" someone whispered in the crowd.

"Isn't that grinning guy next to him his partner, Hua Jiaming? I heard they've solved quite a few major cases together."

Just as everyone was speculating, a familiar-looking man quietly entered the venue. It was Cheng Zhou, disguised and made up. His cold gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Chen Ran and his group, a smug smirk playing on his lips.

Halfway through the party, the lights suddenly went out, plunging the venue into chaos. Cheng Zhou seized the opportunity to attempt to kidnap Reba to blackmail Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming. However, Chen Ran was prepared; he moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing in front of Cheng Zhou, and the two engaged in a fierce battle in the darkness.

"Cheng Zhou, you can't escape." Chen Ran said in a deep voice, a tactical flashlight appearing in his hand at some point, which he shone on Cheng Zhou's face.

"Hmph, Chen Ran, do you think you can stop me like this?" Cheng Zhou gritted his teeth, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly.

At this critical moment, Hua Jiaming flanked from the flank and, working seamlessly with Chen Ran, successfully subdued Cheng Zhou. After a brief moment of shock, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"Amazing! These two 2.5s are true heroes!"

"Not only is he handsome, but he's also incredibly skilled. That's a real man!"

"Miss Reba is so lucky to have such a friend to protect her!"

Before the police arrived, Chen Ran calmly said to Cheng Zhou, "Cheng Zhou, your end has come. The victims and justice will not let you go."

Cheng Zhou was handcuffed and taken away, while Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming walked towards Reba amidst the cheers of the crowd. She looked at them with a face full of worry yet admiration, and tightly grasped their hands.

"You always make me anxious, but you always manage to get out of danger." Reba's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were full of pride.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, but this is the path we have to take," Chen Ran replied gently.

Hua Jiaming patted his chest and laughed, "Don't forget, we are the invincible trio of 05!"

Under police escort, Cheng Zhou's resentful eyes revealed a deep fear of Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming. Chen Ran and Hua Jiaming exchanged a smile, understanding that this was only a small step on the road to justice, and that greater challenges lay ahead.

After the chaos of the charity gala, the city night returned to calm. However, a new storm was brewing.

"Reba, you must have been frightened by what happened tonight." Chen Ran looked at her apologetically, "But that's life for us, full of unknowns and challenges."

Reba shook her head slightly, her eyes shining with determination: "I am willing to accept this kind of life because I feel extremely at ease with you all by my side."

A few days later, an anonymous call came to Chen Ran's cell phone. The voice was cold and deep: "Chen Ran, do you think it's over after you've caught me? The real game has just begun."

This phone call made Chen Ran realize that although Cheng Zhou had been arrested, the criminal network behind him had not been completely dismantled. Therefore, he and Hua Jiaming decided to conduct an in-depth investigation, vowing to uproot the entire criminal empire.
