Chapter 618: 614. Brothers Meet (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Xiezi felt completely uncomfortable sitting inside the car He Yong had prepared.

"Cheng, isn't this a bit too conspicuous?" Xiezi said, sitting restlessly.

Li Cheng said while changing his clothes: "Since it was arranged this way, don't ask too many questions, just do it."

Over here, He Yong had prepared new clothes for them.

After the two finished changing, they looked at each other and could see the unnaturalness in each other's eyes.

These clothes were all very expensive designer brands; the two outfits were worth at least 500,000 RMB.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste to have us wear these?" Xiezi said dryly.

He had never worn such expensive clothes before; although he didn't know the exact price, he knew it was definitely not low.

Li Cheng adapted quite quickly; it wasn't as if he hadn't worn them before, he just hadn't worn them for a long time.

Li Cheng looked at Xiezi's expression and teased: "It is indeed a waste, keep your expression more natural, don't look so awkward."

Xiezi was someone who had experienced the fires of war, so his mental fortitude was beyond reproach, and he quickly recovered.

He kept adjusting on the road, and by the time they arrived at the hotel, he had finally calmed down.

After getting out of the car, He Qing was there at the entrance to meet them. Seeing the two, she looked them over briefly and then stepped forward.

"You must be Mr. Li and Mr. Xie, right?" He Qing asked with a smile.

Seeing He Qing, this youthful and beautiful girl, Xiezi somehow suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Li Cheng nodded and said: "We are."

"Please come with me." He Qing's smile remained.

Li Cheng looked at the embarrassed Xiezi and gave him a sharp, annoyed glance.

The elevator went straight to the top floor. The entire floor was now booked by Zhang Ran. As soon as the elevator doors opened, they saw He Yong standing at the entrance.

The moment he saw He Yong, Li Cheng's eyes suddenly turned red. Thirty years!

They hadn't seen each other for nearly thirty years!

"Yong Ge!" Li Cheng called out, his throat working.

A smile also appeared on He Yong's face as he opened his arms and gave Li Cheng a solid hug.

"Chengzi, have you been doing well all these years?" He Yong asked.

"Not bad, not bad," Li Cheng said with a smile.

This was the first time Xiezi had seen his boss like this, and he was a bit curious; the slight embarrassment in his heart also dissipated a little.

"Zhang Ge is already waiting for you, we'll talk more later." He Yong didn't dwell on the past too much.

Li Cheng took a deep breath, then took out some items from his person and handed them to He Yong; this was also the rule.

Zhang Ran treated these people very well and truly regarded them as brothers.

But without rules, there are no standards; since he had built something so large, some rules that should exist still needed to be there.

Seeing this, Xiezi also handed over his own things, but after he finished, Li Cheng glared at him, and Xiezi then reluctantly took out a very small, exquisite handgun from a hidden corner.

He Yong didn't say much and didn't continue to check, but they still had to pass through one more door; this door was the final measure.

It was also He Yong's last bit of trust in Li Cheng!

If Li Cheng still had anything on him, He Yong would not be polite.

Zhang Ran had been waiting here for a long time, and Yin Long was also here. Seeing Li Cheng approach, both of them stood up.

"Chengzi!" Zhang Ran called out.

This time, Li Cheng finally couldn't hold it back, and his entire eye sockets turned red.

"Zhang Ge." Li Cheng called out in a low voice, his tone full of apology.

Back then, Yin Long had been prepared in his heart and had long thought about what he needed to do, but he was not, so he felt very guilty at this moment—or rather, he had always felt guilty, otherwise he wouldn't have run here alone.

"Don't be like that, if someone didn't know, they'd think I did something to you," Zhang Ran teased.

Li Cheng felt a bit embarrassed and quietly wiped his face, "Zhang Ge, I've made a fool of myself."

Zhang Ran hugged Li Cheng and said: "There's no fool or not, we're all brothers of the same family, don't overthink it, everything is in the past."

Hearing this, Li Cheng's mood, which had just calmed down, surged again, and the tears he had been holding back instantly slid down!

For so many years, Li Cheng had lived in self-reproach; many times he thought, if only he had died back then, if only he had held on a little longer.

But he didn't hold on, and he didn't resist the temptation.

Zhang Ran had always treated them well, yet in the end, Li Cheng chose to betray Zhang Ran, and the days that followed were truly agonizing.

But it was better now; Zhang Ran had returned, and he, Li Cheng, had a chance to make amends.

Yin Long also stood up at this time, "Cheng."

"Xiao Long, you've done very well." Li Cheng looked at Yin Long and smiled.

Yin Long said with a face full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Cheng, I was the one who betrayed you all back then, I..."

"It's okay, I don't blame you, even without you, we would have..." Li Cheng sighed.

Zhang Ran waved his hand and said: "Alright, let's not mention the past anymore, there's no need to dwell on these things after so many years. By the way, is this the Xiezi you told me about?"

Zhang Ran directly changed the subject.

Ever since arriving here, Xiezi had been standing there honestly, and he had been stunned ever since he saw Zhang Ran.

This was completely different from the boss he had imagined.

Just looking at his appearance, he felt he was even younger than himself; this was the boss?

Li Cheng hurriedly said: "Yes, he is Xiezi. Brother Zhang, don't look at his young age, he is a good person and very capable."

After saying this, he kicked Xiezi to signal him to speak.

Xiezi reacted and hurriedly said: "Hello, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Ran looked at him and smiled: "No need to be nervous, you are Chengzi's brother, which means you are my, Zhang Ran's, brother."

Xiezi rubbed his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Well, this is my first time in such a high-end place, so I'm not quite used to it."

"It's nothing, you'll get used to it after coming a few more times," Zhang Ran said.

He then said to He Qing, "Xiao Qing, go prepare some food; we'll eat right here."

After finishing, he looked at Li Cheng and said, "Chengzi, can you drink now? Don't tell me you can't anymore?"

"Brother Zhang, I'm not bragging, but three catties is just enough to rinse my mouth now," Li Cheng said boastfully.

At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to thirty years ago, when he and these people loved to just find a couple of dishes and drink together.

Zhang Ran would also join them, never feeling that drinking with them lowered his status, and they truly got along like brothers.

"Stop the damn bragging, you?" He Yong said with disdain.

Li Cheng immediately rolled up his sleeves, "Looking down on me? Yong Ge, I might not be as good as you in other areas, but when it comes to drinking, you're no match."

"Heh!"
