"I knew it! The tough guys in our circle aren't called tough guys for nothing."
"Wow, this plot is even more exciting than a movie! I wonder how it will end..."
Suddenly, a dark figure leaped out from the shadows and headed straight for the warehouse. It was Chen Ran. He had chosen to act ahead of schedule on the eve of the decisive battle, knowing that time was life for Reba.
"Cheng Zhou, your game ends here!" Chen Ran burst through the window, his gaze piercing as he pointed directly at Cheng Zhou.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Zhou's expression changed drastically, but he pretended to be calm: "Chen Ran, you're courting death!"
Their eyes met in mid-air, and a life-or-death struggle was about to unfold. Inside and outside the warehouse, the fates of everyone were intertwined at this moment, hanging by a thread...
The moment Chen Ran burst through the window, the warehouse lights flickered violently from the impact. Reba stared wide-eyed at the familiar figure, tears welling with hope. Seeing this, Cheng Zhou swiftly drew a short knife from his waist, his face fierce: "Chen Ran, do you think you can save her like this?"
"Cheng Zhou, it's time for your act to end." Chen Ran responded coldly, his eyes showing no fear, but rather filled with determination and resolve.
The martial arts instructor and his team closely observed the situation inside the warehouse from the outside, whispering instructions: "Everyone, get ready. As soon as there is an opportunity, launch a surprise attack."
The extras outside the warehouse exclaimed in surprise when they saw Chen Ran suddenly burst in: "Oh my god, Brother Chen Ran really rushed in!"
"He's going to challenge Cheng Zhou to a duel! This is the territory of a gang leader, it's too dangerous!"
"Look at Chen Ran's eyes, what a real man! He's willing to risk his life for love."
Inside the warehouse, Chen Ran and Cheng Zhou were locked in a tense standoff. Cheng Zhou sneered, "Chen Ran, don't think you're invincible just because you have some skills. Do you know how powerful the forces behind me are?"
Chen Ran smiled contemptuously: "All I know is that you've kidnapped innocent people as bargaining chips, which is utterly depraved. Today, I'm not only going to take Reba away, but I'm also going to expose all your crimes."
Chapter 155: Like a Blockbuster Movie
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhou's face grew even more grim, and he brandished his short knife, pressing closer step by step. Chen Ran, on the other hand, nimbly dodged, searching for the best opportunity to counterattack.
Dilraba watched the duel tensely and couldn't help but shout, "Chen Ran, be careful!"
Just as Cheng Zhou was momentarily distracted, Chen Ran seized the opportunity, leaping into the air and delivering a fierce kick straight at the short knife in Cheng Zhou's hand. With a clang, the short knife was kicked away, and Cheng Zhou staggered backward.
"Cheng Zhou, the game ends here!" Chen Ran stepped forward and untied Reba's restraints.
Seeing the situation was turning against him, Cheng Zhou hurriedly pressed a button, and the alarm inside the warehouse immediately went off. At the same time, the team led by the martial arts instructor also began their operation. They forcibly broke through the warehouse door and engaged in a fierce firefight with Cheng Zhou's men.
The extras outside the warehouse witnessed it all and exclaimed in amazement, "This is just like a blockbuster movie!"
"Chen Ran is not only handsome, but also incredibly skilled. He's practically a real-life superhero!"
"I knew it! How could our tough guy Chen Ran disappoint us!"
Inside the warehouse, Chen Ran protected Dilraba and, together with the martial arts instructor and others, successfully broke through the encirclement. However, Cheng Zhou disappeared in the chaos, leaving behind a chilling warning: "Chen Ran, this game isn't over yet. In the duel three days from now, I will make you pay the price!"
Chen Ran looked firmly at Reba, then looked up at the night sky and said, word by word, "No matter when or where, I will not let anyone hurt you. In three days, I will personally put an end to all of this."
Reba held Chen Ran's hand with emotion, her eyes sparkling with trust and reliance: "I believe in you, Chen Ran."
As the final gunfire subsided, the thrilling rescue operation that unfolded inside and outside the warehouse temporarily came to an end. However, everyone knew that this was merely the prelude to a much larger storm. The grudges, the truth, and the tests of love between Chen Ran and Cheng Zhou would all be revealed in their summit reunion three days later…
In the following episode, after Chen Ran and Dilraba successfully escaped danger, they quickly evacuated the scene and returned to safety. The martial arts instructor led the team to handle the aftermath, while Chen Ran devoted himself entirely to preparing for the showdown three days later.
"Brother Chen Ran, your skills and wisdom are truly admirable." The martial arts instructor couldn't help but admire Chen Ran, who was studying materials and formulating strategies. "However, the power behind Cheng Zhou should not be underestimated. Are you really planning to confront him alone?"
Chen Ran looked up at the martial arts instructor, his eyes resolute: "I will not fight alone. I will use all available resources to expose Cheng Zhou's crimes and protect Reba's safety. This duel is not only about my personal honor, but also a battle between justice and evil."
Reba sat to the side, looking at Chen Ran with concern. She said softly, "Chen Ran, don't push yourself too hard. No matter the outcome, I support you (Li Qian Zhao)."
Chen Ran held Dilraba's hand and responded affectionately, "Thank you, Dilraba. I'm willing to give everything for you. But please believe me, I will win, because I have you behind me, the truth behind me, and countless people waiting for justice to prevail."
This conversation quickly spread throughout the local community, and the extras were discussing it again:
"Have you heard? Chen Ran is not only going to face off against Cheng Zhou, but he's also going to expose that guy's true colors!"
Chapter 156: What a Real Man
"This is huge news in our circle! Brother Chen Ran is like a real-life knight-errant, fearless for love and justice!"
"Oh, I wish I could be as brave as Brother Chen Ran, he's a real man among men!"
"I wonder how exciting the showdown will be in three days. I definitely have to go see it live!"
Meanwhile, Cheng Zhou didn't give up. He used his resources to secretly plot and try to create more trouble for Chen Ran before the showdown. However, Chen Ran saw through all of this and calmly dealt with Cheng Zhou's schemes one by one.
On the eve of the showdown at 590, Chen Ran stood alone by the window, gazing at the city lights, and silently vowed, "Cheng Zhou, no matter what traps you set, I will forge ahead, because I am Chen Ran, and what I protect is the truth and love."
The next day, sunlight bathed the city, and the decisive moment finally arrived. Chen Ran, dressed in a sharp suit, walked side-by-side with Dilraba towards the agreed-upon public venue. The onlookers buzzed with excitement, anticipating the climax of the show.
"Look, that's Chen Ran! He's really going to duel with Cheng Zhou!"
"I've heard that Cheng Zhou has been doing a lot of shady things behind the scenes. This showdown will definitely settle things once and for all!"
"Chen Ran's eyes are so determined! I believe he will definitely win!"
At the decisive battle, Chen Ran and Cheng Zhou locked eyes, the air thick with tension and turmoil. Chen Ran took a deep breath and declared in a loud voice, "Cheng Zhou, today, let us settle all our grievances in a fair manner."
Cheng Zhou sneered and replied, "Chen Ran, you have indeed impressed me, but victory belongs only to the strong. Our duel has only just begun..."
As Cheng Zhou finished speaking, a gasp of amazement erupted from the audience. Amidst the commotion, Chen Ran's gaze hardened; he knew that every step from here on would be crucial to uncovering the truth.
At the scene of the decisive battle, the onlookers held their breath, anticipating this showdown concerning truth and love. Chen Ran's gaze was piercing, exuding an imposing aura without anger. He surveyed his surroundings, every glance revealing determination and resolve. Cheng Zhou, on the other hand, had a gloomy expression, a cold smile playing on his lips, seemingly confident of the upcoming contest.
"Cheng Zhou, you kidnapped Reba and used her to deal with me. Today I will make you pay for what you have done!" Chen Ran's words were firm and resounding, causing a stir among the crowd.
"Brother Chen Ran is a true man. He's willing to risk his life for love and justice!"
"That's right, I like this kind of responsible man. Just look at his eyes, and you know he won't lose!"
Cheng Zhou snorted coldly and raised the folder in his hand: "Chen Ran, don't think you can challenge me just because you have some skills and intelligence. Do you know what's in here? It's a secret you've been deliberately hiding all this time. Once it's revealed, you'll lose everyone's trust."
Chen Ran smiled slightly, calm and composed: "Cheng Zhou, I, Chen Ran, am never afraid to reveal the truth. If you think these so-called secrets can defeat me, then go ahead and try."
As Cheng Zhou opened the folder, a murmur rippled through the crowd. However, when they saw that the contents were not what Cheng Zhou had expected, they exchanged bewildered glances, which then turned into admiration and support for Chen Ran.
"So it turns out that Brother Chen Ran has been carrying such a secret all along, but he has always adhered to the righteous path. He is truly admirable!"

"Cheng Zhou miscalculated this time. Chen Ran's personal charm is more likely to win people's hearts than any secret."
Dilraba clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with pride: "Chen Ran, no matter what happened in the past, I believe in you. Let's face today's duel together."
Chen Ran looked at Reba, his resolute eyes revealing endless tenderness: "Reba, thank you. Now, let's end all of this together."
With the referee's whistle, the duel between Chen Ran and Cheng Zhou officially began. The two exchanged blows, each clash eliciting gasps from the audience. Chen Ran, relying on his superior skills and cunning, gradually gained the upper hand, while Cheng Zhou, though shrewd and unpredictable, ultimately could not withstand Chen Ran's determination.
As the duel reached its climax, Cheng Zhou suddenly pulled out a dagger, intending to ambush Chen Ran.
But Chen Ran was prepared. He kicked the dagger away with a beautiful side kick, followed by a heavy punch to Cheng Zhou's chest.
"Cheng Zhou, the game is over." Chen Ran said, panting heavily, but his voice was incredibly firm.
Cheng Zhou lay on the ground, looking utterly disheveled. He stared wide-eyed at Chen Ran, saying resentfully, "Chen Ran, you won this round, but you can never truly defeat me!"
Chen Ran looked down at Cheng Zhou and took a deep breath: "The outcome is decided. Whether you admit defeat or not is not important. What is important is that from now on, you can no longer hurt Reba or innocent people."
At this moment, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. They shouted Chen Ran's name, and Dilraba rushed forward to hug Chen Ran, tears and smiles mingling together.
Reba turned to look at Cheng Zhou, "Cousin, I know you spoil me, and I know you've always had different feelings for me, but you're my brother! We're family, half-blood relatives!"
Dilraba's eyes were filled with heartache, which made Cheng Zhou even more unwilling to accept it. "Is it wrong for me to like you? Is it wrong for me to want to be with you forever?"
Upon hearing Cheng Zhou's confession, not only was Chen Ran stunned, but even Reba herself was stunned. She didn't expect Cheng Zhou to admit it so directly!
Cheng Zhou struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness: "Chen Ran, even if you win this time, you can forget about winning Reba's heart!"
Chen Ran hugged Reba tightly, his gaze unwavering as he replied, "Reba's choice is her own, not yours to control. Your actions will only push her further away from you."

Reba looked at Cheng Zhou, tears welling up in her eyes. Her voice trembled but was firm: "Cousin, I am grateful for your care since I was a child, but feelings cannot be forced. I love Chen Ran, and I hope you can understand and accept this fact."
..... ...... 0
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhou was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale. He couldn't accept this reality, yet he was powerless to refute it. He could only glare at Chen Ran with hatred, as if he wanted to etch him into his very bones.
"Fine, Chen Ran, you'll remember this day!" Cheng Zhou said through gritted teeth, then turned and disappeared into the crowd.
.....
Two weeks later, the airport welcomed another woman wearing sunglasses, every part of her body exuding sexiness.
"Brother Chengzhou didn't come to pick me up. He must be too busy. Brother Chengzhou, I'm here!"
Amidst the airport crowd, a woman dressed in designer clothes and exuding elegance attracted considerable attention. She was Tang Ningxin, Cheng Zhou's fiancée, a fashion designer who had returned from abroad.

She eagerly awaited Cheng Zhou's arrival, but did not see the familiar figure.
"Ms. Tang, the president has something come up and can't come to pick you up." A man who looked like an assistant rushed over, holding a document in his hand. "This is what President Cheng asked me to give you."
Tang Ningxin took the document and frowned slightly: "Something came up at the last minute? What could be more important than picking me up?" She opened the document, and the contents made her face change drastically.
.....
In the evening, Cheng Zhou and Tang Ningxin arranged to meet at Shengshi Coffee. It was only after Tang Ningxin made more than a dozen phone calls that Cheng Zhou reluctantly agreed to come.
