Chapter 727: The Chess Game

One afternoon, in the spacious and elegant study of the Pei Family, Pei Tianxiong and his third uncle sat opposite each other in front of a beautifully crafted mahogany chess table, the game having reached the middle stage.

The afternoon sun, filtered through the carved window lattices, spilled into the room, casting dappled light and shadow on the focused faces of the two men and adding a touch of tranquility to the atmosphere.

Between the moves on the chessboard, the air seemed almost solidified, broken only occasionally by the sound of a chess piece being placed.

Pei Jingchuan, wearing a simple business suit, was preparing to head to the company to take care of some matters.

However, as he passed by the study, he was drawn in by the faint sound of laughter emanating from within and couldn't help but push the door open and enter.

The moment Pei Jingchuan stepped into the study, the air seemed to become more lively with his presence.
