The elevator doors opened on the 18th floor of the hotel.

Luo Fei walked towards his room.

Just as he was about to open the door, he smelled smoke coming from the crack of the half-open door next door.

There were also faint voices.

Luo Fei smiled and was about to push the door open and enter.

Another elevator opened with a "ding".

A figure with disheveled hair, panting heavily, and looking anxious rushed out!

It was the second son, Yan Lei!

His eyes were red and his forehead was sweating. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he looked around and immediately spotted Luo Fei standing at the door of room 1809.

"Third brother? You're out? Are you alright?"

Yan Lei paused for a moment, then pounced over, grabbed Luo Fei's arm, looked him up and down, his voice hoarse from excitement and running.

Seeing his disheveled yet concerned appearance, Luo Fei felt a warmth in his heart and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm fine, second brother. I'm just cooperating with the investigation and giving a statement."

The half-closed door suddenly flung open from the inside.

Zhang Zhigang and Zhao Zixuan stood at the door, looking at Luo Fei, who was unharmed, and the second brother, whose appearance was completely ruined.

The four brothers, after many years, reunited in this unexpected way in the hotel corridor late at night.

Zhang Zhigang grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Zhao Zixuan smiled too, his eyes full of joy.

Yan Lei relaxed his grip and looked Luo Fei over, then glanced at the eldest and fourth brothers. After confirming that all three were alright, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

But then, countless questions flooded my mind.

"What's going on here?" He wiped his face, his voice weary.

Luo Fei smiled.

"Let's go inside and talk."

"Tonight's events are going to be a bit long."

Inside the room, a faint smell of tobacco still lingered in the air.

The three brothers squeezed side by side on the sofa, looking at Luo Fei.

Yan Lei listened to the eldest and fourth brothers' rambling accounts.

The worry on his face was gradually replaced by shock.

"So, to protect Xiaohu, my sister-in-law slapped that woman."

"That guy surnamed Sun, he led a bunch of thugs and surrounded you, your sister-in-law, and Xiao Hu."

"And then, third brother, you pulled out a gun?"

The eldest brother nodded vigorously: "That's right! Those bastards, if the third brother hadn't stopped me, I would have gone up there and taken them all down!"

The fourth brother continued, "Then the police arrived, the SWAT team arrived, and then... this scene is something even movies can't capture."

Yan Lei's gaze finally fell on Luo Fei, the brother who wasn't very talkative in the dormitory but was the most reliable.

"Third brother..." Yan Lei opened his mouth, "Are you really an instructor from that special operations brigade? Or a major?"

Luo Fei smiled gently.

"Well, it's kind of like a temporary post." He didn't elaborate.

Yan Lei looked at him for a long while, then let out a long breath.

Suddenly, he reached out and punched Luo Fei hard on the shoulder, just like he did back in college.

"You little rascal, you've been hiding it well!" he chuckled, "But it's good that you're alright!"

He paused, his voice lowering with gratitude, "Thanks to you today. Otherwise, with Xiaohu injured at the hotel, I would have been so worried..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

Luo Fei patted the hand that was punching him: "We're brothers, let's not talk about this."

Those few simple words warmed Yan Lei's heart.

Yes, no matter what Lao San's current status or experience is, he is still Lao San in the dormitory, a brother who will stand up for his brothers without hesitation when they are threatened!

The atmosphere became relaxed.

The brothers chatted for a while longer, marveling at how quickly time flies.

The topic gradually shifted back to the second son's wedding tomorrow.

"By the way, do you know the procedures for tomorrow?" Yan Lei rubbed his face, trying to get back into the role of the groom.

He looked at Luo Fei and Zhao Zixuan: "I've prepared the best man outfits. They're all made according to the sizes you gave me before, so there shouldn't be any problem. I was in a hurry earlier and didn't bring them with me, so please go early tomorrow to change into them."

He then looked at Zhang Zhigang: "Boss, you, your wife, and Xiaohu will be with my parents tomorrow. Take the car behind to the hotel. Everything is arranged."

Zhang Zhigang nodded: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Luo Fei and Lao Si nodded to indicate that they understood.

Looking at the time, it was already close to 10 p.m.

Considering that the second brother would be the most tired protagonist tomorrow, needing to get up early and deal with various ceremonies and social engagements, Luo Fei and the other two exchanged a glance.

"Second brother, it's getting late, you should go back and get some rest," Zhang Zhigang said. "You have to get up early tomorrow to be the groom."

"Yeah, you're practically showing dark circles under your eyes. Be careful the bride doesn't mind," Zhao Zixuan added with a grin.

Yan Lei didn't refuse and stood up: "Okay, then I'll head back first. You guys should get some rest too."

"Wait a minute." Luo Fei called out to him, exchanged a glance with the boss, and then got up and went back to their respective rooms.

Soon, the two returned, each carrying an exquisitely packaged box.

At the same time, the fourth brother also brought out the gift he had prepared.

It was a square brocade box wrapped in red velvet. Inside, there was a glittering pure gold gourd ornament.

The fourth brother held it up with both hands and showed it to the three of them.

The upper half of the gourd is engraved with the character "囍" (double happiness), while the lower half is carved with an exquisite relief technique, depicting a pair of adorable cartoon newlyweds kissing.

On the other side of the gourd are four seal script characters: "May you be forever united in heart".

"It's pure gold and quite heavy." The fourth brother put the gourd back into the brocade box, handed it to Yan Lei, and put away his playful smile, speaking seriously, "Leizi, I wish you and your sister-in-law a happy and prosperous life with many children."

Yan Lei stretched out his hands, and the brocade box felt heavy in his hands, making his throat feel a little tight.

Zhang Zhigang took out a jewelry box, inside which was a complete set of gold jewelry.

A classic design, engraved with auspicious cloud patterns and peony designs, shimmering with a golden luster under the light.

"Your sister-in-law helped pick it out. She said gold is solid and holds its value well. It's just a small token of our appreciation." The eldest brother smiled somewhat憨厚ly. "May your future life be as bright and solid as this gold."

Finally, it was Luo Fei's turn. He handed the box over directly without opening it.

"A small gift to wish you a long and happy marriage," Luo Fei said with a smile.

Yan Lei looked at the thoughtful and valuable gift in front of him, and then at the blessing looks in his three brothers' eyes, and his nose tingled with emotion.

"Brothers, I..." he took a deep breath, "...thank you!"

He knew that these gifts represented the heartfelt blessings of his brothers.

"Alright, stop being so dramatic." Zhang Zhigang patted him on the back. "Hurry up and take it back and put it away. We'll be busy tomorrow!"

"Exactly, we'll get emotional when we get back," Zhao Zixuan joked with a smile.

Yan Lei held the gifts, nodded emphatically, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only glanced at his three brothers before turning and walking out of the room.

The three followed the second brother into the elevator and then returned to the fourth brother's room.

After closing the door, the three people in the room all breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled at each other.

Just then, someone's stomach growled.
