Zhang Ran and Li Cheng and the others started drinking right there in the room; none of them held back their alcohol intake, and they drank to their hearts' content.

Ever since that incident, Yin Long had almost never let himself get drunk; he would stop drinking as soon as he felt the slightest bit of tipsiness.

As for Li Cheng, it was even more so; even during his time off, he dared not get drunk.

He Yong had always been very restrained.

But today, they all drank quite a bit; brothers who hadn't seen each other in thirty years were reunited here, and this bond had not faded, but rather, due to various reasons, had become even more intense.

When Huo Zhiyuan walked in and saw several people sitting on the floor, completely lacking any decorum, she shook her head helplessly.

"Xiao Qing, go have the hotel prepare some hangover soup," Huo Zhiyuan said in a low voice.

He Qing nodded, opened the door, and went out to prepare it.

"Drink less; look at what a state you've all drunk yourselves into," Huo Zhiyuan said as she walked to Zhang Ran's side.

Zhang Ran waved his hand and said, "I'm happy, it's fine to drink a little more."

Li Cheng smiled after seeing Huo Zhiyuan and wanted to speak, but was secretly kicked by He Yong, and immediately shut his mouth.

"Boss, what do you say we do next?" Scorpion said with a thick tongue.

He had been restraining himself at first, but when Zhang Ran and the others were drinking happily, he couldn't control himself either and drank even more than them.

"There will be plenty to be busy with next; you all should also be careful and don't be careless. This time, there might still be other external factors," Zhang Ran said.

Scorpion patted his chest and said, "Boss, just rest assured. Those guys have been fighting us for so many years; I'm familiar with all their tricks. As long as you say the word, I'll go take them on right now."

Li Cheng looked at Scorpion helplessly and said in a low voice, "This kid isn't usually like this; he's just drunk now."

"I'm not drunk, you're the one who's drunk," Scorpion said loudly.

Scorpion had also been suppressing himself for too long; he had entered this line of work due to an accident at a young age. Fortunately, he met people like Li Cheng, which allowed him to survive and become an elite soldier.

But having walked on the edge of life and death for so long, Scorpion's mental state was also very repressed and distressed, only he usually didn't have a way to vent it.

Plus, because of Li Cheng, they rarely got drunk within their team, and Scorpion had never had a chance to vent.

This time, he also felt the relaxation coming from the bottom of Li Cheng's heart, so he couldn't help but relax a little himself; now, it was equivalent to venting his inner feelings.

Zhang Ran looked at Scorpion without showing any dissatisfaction; with a smile on his face, he said to Li Cheng in a low voice, "This little guy probably can't hold it in anymore. Tonight, have Dayong and Xiao Long take you all out to have some fun; I'll cover the expenses."

Li Cheng was a bit moved, but also a bit hesitant.

"Ahem, Brother Zhang, I'll pass; Xiao Qing is still here," He Yong coughed dryly. He had drunk quite a bit, but he wasn't stupid.

Huo Zhiyuan rolled her eyes at them and walked away while Zhang Ran was saying these things, and began to tidy up Zhang Ran's room.

"I also..." Yin Long also wanted to refuse; he was now a man with a family.

Perhaps influenced by Zhang Ran, in these matters, the people around Zhang Ran were all relatively restrained.

After having a family, they basically wouldn't do these things.

After all, Zhang Ran used to be so wealthy, yet he never truly messed around, and those around him were all aware of this.

Plus, these people all admired Zhang Ran to some extent, so they naturally picked up some of Zhang Ran's usual ways of conducting himself.

"I'm not asking you to go yourself; go entertain Chengzi and Scorpion, and keep an eye on them while you're at it, don't let them stir up any trouble," Zhang Ran said.

These two had been lingering on the battlefield; if they were truly provoked, it would be hard to say what might happen.

And the reason Zhang Ran insisted was, to a greater extent, that he could see that whether it was Li Cheng or Scorpion, their hearts had always been very repressed.

This was not a good thing.

Li Cheng understood this himself, so he didn't refuse.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll go," He Yong sighed helplessly.

Yin Long said, "Forget it, I'll go. Brother Yong, you'd better stay here honestly, lest Xiao Qing complains about me."

Seeing the two of them arguing now, Zhang Ran said irritably, "Stop putting on an act for me. If you want to go, just say so, especially Dayong—you don't have a wife right now, so you don't have any qualms."

Being told this by Zhang Ran, both of them felt a bit embarrassed.

After drinking for another half hour or so, Zhang Ran let them leave; it was time to go release some steam and vent, which could also be considered preparation before the battle.

Scorpion was dragged away by He Yong and the others in a daze, still talking incessantly.

"Leave the things here, I'll tidy up. You go take a shower first; I've already drawn the hot water for you, the temperature is just right," Huo Zhiyuan said when she saw Zhang Ran stand up.

Zhang Ran said apologetically, "Girl, sorry to trouble you."

It was better not to have hotel staff enter his room recently, so when Huo Zhiyuan said she would tidy up, Zhang Ran didn't stop her.

"It's fine, I often tidy up by myself at home too," Huo Zhiyuan said without blushing or skipping a beat.

In reality, she hardly ever tidied up by herself at home.

Now that she was living next to Zhang Ran, it was a bit inconvenient to keep calling for housekeeping, but she still had Zhao Jingyu, and many times it was Zhao Jingyu who would quietly go over to tidy up the room and such.

After Zhang Ran finished the hangover soup handed to him by Huo Zhiyuan, he went to take a shower, while Huo Zhiyuan and He Qing tidied up the room together.

By the time Zhang Ran came out, the room had already been tidied up, and both He Qing and Huo Zhiyuan had left.

After sobering up a bit, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was indeed a video call from his two little treasures.

"Grandpa, did you drink alcohol?" Susu saw at a glance that Grandpa's state wasn't right, and pouted unhappily.

"Grandpa is happy, I only drank a tiny bit. I won't drink this much next time," Zhang Ran said, hurriedly coaxing his precious granddaughter when he saw she was unhappy.

"Mom said drinking is bad and will hurt your body," Susu said with a worried look on her little face.

Seeing his granddaughter's adorable expression, Zhang Ran immediately said happily, "Yes, yes, yes, drinking is bad; Grandpa will definitely be careful."

"Grandpa, you can't drink alcohol; Dad said if you drink, he's going to spank you," Zhang Xiaotao seemed to want to seek some attention as well.

But as soon as these words left his mouth, Zhang Ran's face immediately turned dark, and Zhang Sicheng, who was on the side, was so scared his hand shook.

"I didn't, that's not me, don't talk nonsense," Zhang Sicheng hurriedly defended himself.

"Heh heh, you've really grown capable now," Zhang Ran said with a look that was not quite a smile.

Zhang Sicheng glared at Zhang Xiaotao—this father-sabotaging brat!

Zhang Xiaotao's little face was a bit confused; did he say something wrong? Why didn't Dad praise him?

Liu Lu nearly burst out laughing on the side, pinching her thigh hard to force herself to hold it back; her son was truly an expert at sabotaging his own father!
