Chapter 56: Kang Jihan

Ever since what happened to Zhong family, there have been legends about Lee Minho in the circle of Kyoto.

The Zhong family is just a small ant. What is really scary is the few backers behind the Zhong family.

Unexpectedly, it took less than two days to brought them down, and the speed was so fast that many people didn't even realize it.

It felt like overnight, and it all fell down.

It's just because of the system interception that all they can find to Lee Minho is the information on surface.

It's about those villas, cars, and accessories owned by Lee Minho, all were obtained through regular channels in legal means.

If Lee Minho is really investigated, the system will arrange a reasonable identity for him. The system will not allow anyone to discover its flaws.

This made Lee Minho's identity even more mysterious.

However, not long after, news spread that Lee Minho was the illegitimate son of the Qin family.

And this time, it was the secret forces of the Qin family who made the move.

The purpose is to protect the illegitimate son Lee Minho.

After all, there was only one heir in the direct line of the Qin family. Since that heir fell into a coma, other families have been waiting to see the misfortune of the Qin family.

Unexpectedly, the direct line of the Qin family had an illegitimate child outside.

So once the heir of the direct line doesn't wake up again, the illegitimate son will become the next heir of the Qin family.

It is understandable for the Qin family to secretly protect the illegitimate child.

Many people in the Kyoto circle have already regarded Lee Minho as the illegitimate son of the Qin family.

And the Qin family did have an illegitimate child outside, and they really wanted to bring the illegitimate child back and raise it as an heir.

But this person is not Lee Minho.

Therefore, unknowingly, the Qin family took the blame for Lee Minho and the system.

Soon, the news of Zhong Yujie was sentenced for fabricating facts and slandering Lee Minho was announced on the Internet.

Those people who were still condemning and cursing Lee Minho suddenly changed their tone.

Even those stars who were taking the rhythm, immediately deleted their previous scarves after getting the news.

The matter calmed down step by step, and with the special operation of the system, within two days, the matter of Lee Minho's slander was quickly replaced by the news of a celebrity cheating.

This time, Lee Minho said that apart from losing a graduation certificate he was also being insulted by people who didn't know the truth.

In the end, not only did Zhong family were sent to prison, but were also have to pay 3 million dollars in compensation for mental damage.

The Kyoto University hastily made the matter of prescribing Lee Minho before, after knowing the truth.

The counselor personally called and said that the school had revoked Lee Minho's previous punishment and asked him to go back to school to get his graduation certificate when he was free.

Even if they knew they had wronged Lee Minho, the school leaders made a hasty decision by themselves.

No apology nor clarification either.

They simply withdrew the announcement of Lee Minho's expulsion on the Internet, and asked him to go back to collect his graduation certificate.

It seems that being able to let Lee Minho go back early to get his graduation certificate is already the greatest compensation to him.

This made Lee Minho very uncomfortable.

In Kyoto University, Lee Minho is enrolled in the College of Science and Technology.

There's a college wronged a student because of an incident before.

The principal and leaders of that school not only personally apologized, but also made various compensations to the student.

In the end, both parties were happy.

But Lee Minho's College of Science and Technology didn't investigate clearly when he was expelled.

Now, knowing that Lee Minho innocent, there is no intention of apologizing at all.

Lee Minho studied at the College of Science and Technology for four years, before that for the diploma.

Now that graduation certificate is meaningless to Lee Minho.

So Lee Minho was straightforward and called the counselor back. Since the school has expelled him before, please keep your word.

He is no longer a student of CST, So there is no need to go back to get a diploma.

After hearing what Lee Minho said, the school leaders immediately felt that Lee Minho didn't know what was good and what was wrong.

Now that they can let Lee Minho come back to get his diploma, it is already the greatest kindness to him.

However, Lee Minho didn't know what was good or bad.

That being the case, let his wish be fulfilled. If the graduation certificate is not given, the college will treat it as if there is no such student.

The counselor finally called Lee Minho back and said that the school respected his decision. Then he hung up the phone.

It seems that the counselor is also angry with Lee Minho, and feels that Lee Minho is being ignorant.

But Lee Minho just smiled and didn't care at all.

The system is a little bit upset.

{A graduation certificate from that small garbage school is not good enough for the host. As long as the host completes the ultimate learning task, this system will select the best school in the world for the host as the host's graduation alma mater.}

{To be a "rich man", one should have top-level abilities and academic qualifications.}

"Thank you then." Lee Minho smiled.

Unexpectedly, his own system was quite good to him. He even arranged for a graduation certificate.

{Let's wait for the host to complete the ultimate learning task.}

{There are only 8 days left before the preliminaries of the Chess Cup Competition. Host, please be prepared.} The system reminded.

"Got it."

Lee Minho turned on the computer casually and began to choose today's chess opponent.

It has to be said that Lee Minho has not slacked off in the past few days.

During the day, he worked hard to complete his study tasks, and at night he started to find someone online to play chess.

Except for the fact that he almost lost at the beginning, slowly, he got better and better.

The experience value of the master card has gradually been swiped to half by him. Simply speaking, Lee Minho has mastered many chess-playing skills.

Now, his rank in "PawnPlay.com" account has risen to National Master Level, with a winning rate of 100%.

Up to now, he have not encountered a very strong player.

Because the chess competition was near. Many players are all playing chess online to practice.

And because Lee Minho often finds people to play chess on PawnPlay.com online recently with his terrifying 100% win rate, people gradually began to pay attention to him.

Lee Minho just finished his breakfast in this morning and wants to play a chess again.

He then logged on PawnPlay.com as usual, when someone sent him an application for a match.

The other party's nickname is called. "Top of Mount Tai"

Lee Minho looked at the account a little strangely, he probably hadn't downloaded it before.

Looking at the rank again, it is a National Master Level. Seeing this Lee Minho agreed immediately.

It just so happened that he wanted to find a Grandmaster Level opponent, but he didn't expect the opponent to come to his door.

At this time, it was on the second floor of a villa in Azure Retreat in Kyoto.

A handsome-looking, but not easy to get along with, a man in his mid-twenties.

His face seemed to be indifferent, but his eyes were fixed on the computer.

He is the eldest grandson of the current Kang family, Kang Jihan. He is also Kang Taehyun's cousin.

As the eldest grandson of the Kang family, he was basically destined to become the future heir of the Kang family when he was born.

His grandfather, the head of the Kang family is a chess fanatic, because he grew up with his grandfather since he was a child. Kang Jihan also became a chess player.

Outside of work, his biggest hobby is playing chess. Even in his teens, he became a professional chess player.

Over the years, he has never let up, and his rank has risen to the National Master.

It's just that his talent is limited, he lost in the promotion competition last year, and his rank did not rise, staying at the National Level.

But he was unwilling to give up and kept trying to prove himself.

Therefore, he signed up for this year's upcoming Colorado's Chess Cup Competition.

In addition to practicing chess in the chess hall, he usually plays chess on PawnPlay.com.

Several professional chess players he knows play chess on this website.

Just yesterday, one of the professional Master Level chess players he knew said that he lost to a person nicknamed "Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves" on the Internet.

That person's chess style is very strange. At the beginning of the game, the strength of the two seemed to be about the same.

But the professional Master Level chess player felt that he was inexplicably at a disadvantage when he played, and he couldn't hold on until the middle game.

Lost before he could react.

Kang Jihan played chess with that Master Level chess player before. That chess player's chess style is very stable, and he is not a careless person.

But in the middle game, he lost out of nowhere? Later, when the professional Master Level chess player replayed the game, he found that the opponent had made up

the trap dozens of moves ago.

Just waiting for it's prey to get caught step by step. In the end, he fell into a trap and could no longer escape.

This is enough to prove the opponent's extreme confidence in his own strength, as well as his terrifying calculation ability.

This matter instantly aroused Kang Jihan.

He asked the chess player to send that person's account number.

After Kang Jihan searched the account, he found that the "Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves" was actually in the same rank as him in PawnPlay.com. Both of them are National Master Level

Although PawnPlay.com rank is a bit different to real ranking system, but if you don't have any skills, it is impossible to rise to National Master Level.

What's more, that person's record is actually 26 rounds of victories. And the registration time of this account is only a short period of 6 days.

In other words, this "Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves" only took 6 days to rise to the National Master Level with a 100% win rate at that.

This may also be a professional chess player with a high rank.

Kang Jihan immediately contacted this person and waited for him to go online.

As soon as Kang Jihan saw him online, he immediately sent out an invitation to the battle.

At this time, he was waiting for that player to play.

Kang Jihan has always liked to challenge those powerful chess players.

Although sometimes he loses badly, only by constantly challenging can he continue to improve.

He's been stuck in the National Master Level for too long.

Others say that there is a threshold between the National Master and a Master Level but in his opinion, the real threshold is between the National to International Master Level.

If he can't pass, he may be trapped in the National Master Level for the rest of his life.

It's just that after waiting for half a minute, Kang Jihan felt as if half a day had passed.

Finally, the opponent accepted the battle.

A smile finally appeared on Kang Jihan's expressionless face.
