Only those who have plenty of money and power can grow flowers and grass that are free, relaxed, and well-paced. That feeling is subtle, but it exists objectively.

Just like Xia Ran, she now has more money than 90% of the people in Shanghai, which is considered rich enough, but she still habitually asks the price before buying things. This is something in her bones and cannot be changed.

Even if she has money, she can't consume without asking the price first.

While Xia Ran was daydreaming, a car stopped not far in front of her. Looking up, she saw a masculine and resolute man opened the car door and got out. He was quite tall.

He walked quickly to Xia Ran and looked her up and down: "Your name is Xia Ran?" She didn't look like someone who could subdue the criminals. With her small body? I didn't see anything special about her.

Xia Ran also looked at the other person openly. The other person walked very straight, with a straight and tall posture. He was still very handsome, with sharp edges and corners, but he could not compare with Chen Jin, he was not quite as good.

Replied: "Yes, I am Xia Ran, and you are Chen Mingli, Chen Jin's cousin?"

"Yes. Come with me, we'll talk in the car." Chen Mingli said and turned to leave.

Xia Ran was afraid of an emergency, so she stood still and asked, "Can I see your work ID first?"

Chen Mingli raised his eyebrows, looking a little interested, and handed over his work permit. Xia Ran took a look and found that there was indeed no problem, so he got into the car and sat in the back. He asked directly: "Just you? Did Chen Jin say that they are a big gang?"

"Yes. There are other colleagues behind us, in the dark. Tell me everything you saw in detail first."

Xia Ran quickly told everything she heard and what happened.

Chen Mingli looked at Xia Ran again, "Are you sure this is not something you imagined? You took care of four human traffickers by yourself?"

"Look at what you said. Stop talking so much nonsense. Are you going to go or not? After all this time, do you think I'm kidding you?" Where did this group of idiots come from? She was almost mad at them, so she said directly: "Put your hand over here."

"what?"

Xia Ran grabbed Chen Mingli's hand and squeezed it with both hands.

Then he heard Chen Mingli's muffled groans and begging for mercy, "Stop, stop, stop, I believe it, I believe it, stop it." This woman was really cruel and her hand was very strong. If she continued to pinch him, his hand would be broken.

Xia Ran pinched it a few more times before letting go. This must be a funny guy sent by the monkey, and he must be killed to scare the monkeys.

Only then did Chen Mingli believe it with a grin, waved his hands a few times, made a few gestures outside the car window, and drove in the direction Xia Ran said.

Seeing that no one else was going with them, Xia Ran thought that it was just the two of them: "Are you stupid? Why don't you call more people and set up all-round control? Are we going to deliver food to the bad guys just the two of us?"

"Don't worry, there are people following behind."

When he received a call from his sister, saying that an ordinary woman subdued four human traffickers and called the police safely, he always felt that this woman was mentally ill and was imagining it out of thin air.

Even though they probably didn't really believe it, the police still called in. What if it was true?

They have encountered many cases of false alarms before, and as such incidents happened more and more frequently, they gradually got used to making preparations for both scenarios.

When we were almost there, we found a place to park the car, and then we saw that there were indeed seven or eight people following us.

Xia Ran and Chen Mingli took the lead and quietly walked over. Xia Ran pointed to the small courtyard and everyone gathered around it.

Xia Ran went directly to the two courtyards where she had hidden people to see if the criminals were still there.

The criminals were still there. When everyone saw what a ruthless person they were, they were crippled and tied up like dumplings. It was their fate to meet this woman.

No one doubted Xia Ran now. Who would live here normally? This place had been empty for many years. Who knew it would be occupied by these criminals?

Soon someone came quietly to report that there was no one in the yard and no other hiding place had been found, but a large amount of cash was found and the house was in a mess.

Leaving someone behind to continue keeping watch, Chen Mingli took the criminals back for interrogation. Xia Ran also needed to cooperate in taking a statement, so he went to their bureau.

Xia Ran then explained in detail to the clerk all the details related to the case.

Another staff member on the opposite side then asked: "Why do you carry a weapon with you?"

"What a useless weapon! That's my life-saving hammer. Without it, I would be dead. I've never beaten a good person before. It's too chaotic outside now, and I don't feel safe, so I put it in my bag for self-defense. You don't know, I encountered two waves of robbers on the train to Shanghai, and the last wave even used knives and stabbed people. Without it, I might have died on the train."

"Oh, tell me."

Xia Ran told the story on the train again. She had to ask several soldiers to endorse her. She knew that from the moment she called the police, she was exposed to the sight of some people.

You have to be more careful in everything you do in the future. You can call the police anonymously, but I'm afraid no one will take it seriously. Look, if you use your connections to call the police, others will think you are teasing them.

The staff members instantly looked at Xia Ran with even more respect. He was a hero, a great man, and this might turn out to be a huge case.

But he still asked as a matter of routine: "You are not from this city. Why did you travel thousands of kilometers to come to Shanghai?"

"Make money."

"Have you applied for a temporary residence permit?"

"No. However, I plan to transfer my household registration here. You see, I will be a Shanghai resident in the future." Xia Ran said as he took out the household registration acceptance letter and the real estate certificate and handed them over together.

Nodding: "Yes. Sure, but you can't leave Shanghai for the next few days."

"Okay, but you have to hurry up. I'm busy and can't stay for a few days. Don't affect my earning money."

"Yes, we also hope to solve the case as soon as possible."

Then Chen Mingli knocked on the door and came in. The two people opposite Xia Ran called out, "Director Chen."

Xia Ran took a look and found that Chen Mingli was actually a leader. He didn't look like one and he looked young enough.

"Have you finished taking notes?"

"Well, all right."

Chen Mingli took the transcript, read it through and asked in surprise: "Have you ever helped the People's Liberation Army catch criminals?"

Xia Ran nodded, "It can't be considered helping. We just encountered the criminals together and everyone took action."

"Not bad, that's great. Did they tell you that you can't leave Shanghai in the next few days? They may need your help and identification at any time."

"Okay, but hurry up, I need to go back home."

"Doesn't it say here that you have no relatives anymore? Go home and change your household registration?"

"Just because I have no family doesn't mean I have no friends. I'll go home and get some carpets to sell."

"Okay, let's go. Someone is worried about you and is waiting outside."

As soon as Xia Ran went out, she saw Chen Jin who was waiting anxiously.

As soon as Chen Jin saw Xia Ran, he quickly ran towards her and checked her from head to toe. Only when he found that there was indeed nothing wrong with her did he feel completely relieved.
