Chapter 86: A White Chess

Now it's the fourth round of the competition.

The number of people has decreased a lot as well as the examination rooms.

Because Kang Taehyun and the others lost in the third round, Yoon Jungsu and Jung Jinso did not come today.

Only Kang Taehyun came to drive Lee Minho to the competition.

On the way, Kang Taehyun excitedly told Lee Minho the embarrassing things after Qin Anze left Treasure Pavilion Auction House last night.

"Young Master Lee, don't you know that after Qin Anze left Treasure Pavilion last night, something happened to the Qin family?

"Young Master Fang made a move, which was fast and ruthless. In one night, accidents happened to several companies of the Qin family causing many damages."

"I heard that Qin Anze was severely scolded and beaten by the old man of Qin family, and early this morning, he went to apologize to Young Master Fang in a wheelchair."

"Fang Jun shot so soon?"

Lee Minho was a little surprised.

Fang Jun actually shot the Qin family last night, it really is the kind that he can't wait for a quarter of an hour.

Kang Taehyun said.

"That's right, Young Master Fang has always been like that. It's also that Qin Anze who has no brains, who actually uttered nonsense in Treasure Pavilion last night."

"Young Master Fang just made a little moved to the few companies of the Qin family, which are already considered small."

"That's still giving the Qin family face. If Young Master Fang really gets angry, Qin Anze probably won't get away with it."

There are so many people in Kyoto who are afraid of Fang Jun.

Apart from Fang family who's overprotective of him, they also think Fang Jun is a lunatic.

Once Fang Jun goes crazy, no one can stop him.

"Now that Qin Anze has been locked up at home by the Qin family. I don't know about next week tho, it will be Mr. Qin's birthday, and all the invitations have been sent out."

"There's a rumors about the Qin family will give Qin Anze rectification of name and identity. If Qin Anze's injury has not healed that day, the loss will be great."

Kang Taehyun couldn't help whistling when he heard that Qin Anze's ass was being beaten, gloating over his misfortune.

Lee Minho laughed and said.

"When you all mistakenly thought that I was the illegitimate child of the Qin family, your attitude was not like this."

Kang Taehyun and the others had a good attitude towards him before.

Although Kang Taehyun is flattering, he has a certain degree of advance and retreat, at least Lee Minho doesn't hate it.

"How can it be the same."

Kang Taehyun quickly explained.

"Before we wanted to please Young Master Lee because we thought that you are the illegitimate child of the Qin family."

"But now we know that Young Master Lee had a good personality and good conduct. You are worthy of a deep friendship."

They flattered Lee Minho before thinking of benefits, but now they really felt that Lee Minho's character was guaranteed.

At least when they get along normally, Lee Minho didn't give them that kind of arrogant distance like Qin Anze.

'Young Master Lee is very approachable, and the most important thing is that there is meat to eat with Young Master Lee.'

Follow Qin Anze?

Think about Lu Quiang and those people yesterday.

Kang Taehyun heard that Qin Anze scolded him bloody, not to mention that he offended Fang Jun because of Qin Anze.

As a result, Fang Jun didn't pull them down when he taught the Qin family a lesson. He also taught those guys a lesson.

This is what happens when you follow the wrong person.

Of course, Kang Taehyun is different from Choi Jaywon, he is still from the Kang family after all.

His cousin Kang Jihan may be the future owner of the family. And he has a good relationship with his cousin.

So he doesn't really need to please anyone.

He can please no one.

Kang Taehyun simply thinks that Lee Minho is a good person.

Hearing what Kang Taehyun said about him, Lee Minho couldn't help but almost believed it.

Although he knew that Kang Taehyun was flattering him, he still felt very happy to be praised so clearly.

"Wait a minute, after sending me to the Sports Center Building, you can go. After I finish the game, I can take a taxi and go back by myself."

Lee Minho doesn't know how long the game will take, so Lee Minho thinks there's no need for Kang Taehyun to wait there.

After all, Kang Taehyun had already lost the game yesterday and could no longer enter the Sports Center Building.

It's not good to wait outside.

Kang Taehyun held the steering wheel and said jokingly.

"How can that be done? Young Master Lee, it's okay. The most important thing is that there are not many opportunities to drive the G310 Lightning King. Of course I want to have a good time."

"If you like it, I can lend it to you. I haven't got my driver's license yet, so I can't drive this car."

Lee Minho is not really interested in these luxury cars.

Although these luxury cars are expensive, they are worth the money.

But the oil consumption is also powerful.

The current oil price is rising steadily, especially for these sports cars, the fuel consumption makes the persons pocket hurt.

Moreover, the annual insurance premium for this luxury car is also cost a lot of money.

There are also a series of expenses such as regular monthly maintenance and regular cleaning.

When Lee Minho thought about it, he felt that he was not well.

Let's not talk about these cars, just the villa where Lee Minho lives now, although the system has paid a year's housekeeping service cleaning fee in advance.

But next year he will have to pay the fee himself. There are also property management fees.

This is like raising a car and raising a villa. If it was him before, it would be unimaginable for such a sum of expenditure.

Hearing that Lee Minho was willing to lend him the Lightning King.

Kang Taehyun said in surprise.

"Really, Young Master Lee, are you willing to lend me this car?"

G310 Lightning King is a limited edition sports car, and a symbol of high status. Even for his own cousin, if Kang Jihan wanted to get one, he would have to wait in line to get a number.

Now Lee Minho was willing to lend it to him so easily, which moved Kang Taehyun so much.

"I'm fine lending you the car, but be careful. Don't cause anything to happen."

Although Lee Minho knows that even if something happens, Kang Taehyun will not evade responsibility and let him, the owner of the car, take responsibility.

But Lee Minho felt that some things had to be agreed in advance.

"Of course. Young Master Lee, don't worry, I'll just borrow this car for a few days to enjoy it, and I'll return it to you. I will never let your beloved car lose a little paint."

Kang Taehyun parked the car in the parking lot. After that, he patted his chest and promised.

Lee Minho unbuttoned his seat belt and said.

"Okay, don't send me off. I'll just go in by myself."

Kang Taehyun immediately got out of the car to open the door for Lee Minho.

"If you have something to do, Young Master Lee, please call me. I'll wait for you at the parking lot."

"Alright."

Lee Minho didn't say anything to Kang Taehyun, and walked directly to the Sports Center Building.

He basically didn't queued up at the door, so he directly signed in and entered the building.

After all, it was the fourth round, and a large part of the people were eliminated. There will be no more long queues like the first and second days.

Lee Minho looked at the watch on his left hand and found that there was still about an hour before the game.

He don't know if he drank too much water in the morning, Lee Minho suddenly felt a little urgent to urinate.

Thinking that the game hasn't started yet, it's better to go to the bathroom first. After all, after the game starts, you can't leave halfway.

The public restrooms on the first floor are all in relatively hidden corners.

Lee Minho found one of the bathrooms according to the signs.

He solved his physical problems inside, and when he came out, he happened to pass by an office.

The door of that office was open, and there were several tables and chairs inside.

On the table in the middle, there is a chess board.

On the chessboard, there are black and white chess pieces.

Lee Minho walked in involuntarily.

Lee Minho just glanced at the chess pieces on the chess board, and immediately saw that it was a half-played chess game.

White chess has been besieged by black chess, as if there is no way out.

But Lee Minho's gaze quickly swept across the chess board, and after thinking for a while, he laughed suddenly.

"This white piece still has a way out."

There is a place where white can break through.

Therefore, Lee Minho couldn't help itching, picked up a white chess piece, and landed directly next to a black chess piece.

Originally, the black chess pieces formed a momentum of encirclement and suppression, but suddenly a hole was opened.

Although the situation is still unfavorable for white, but at least, a way out has been opened up.

After playing the white piece, Lee Minho didn't care.

He can feel that this chess may be half played by someone else, and felt that there is no way for white to survive.

When he plays this chess, no one should notice, and no one should care.

He just left after making the move.

When he left, Lee Minho was still guessing whether the chess game was played by those from the Chess Association.

After all, recently, he have always seen people from the Chess Association coming in and out on the first floor.

Less than two minutes after Lee Minho left.

A black figure came out from the toilet.

Immediately afterwards, he went straight into the office.

When he walked straight to the edge of the chess board and sat down, his gaze swept over the chess board suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up abruptly.

After staring at the extra white chess piece for two seconds, he walked out of the office quickly.

At this time, Jiang Ruozhi was leading a member of the association towards him.

When he saw a rather handsome man wearing a black shirt approaching, Jiang Ruozhi immediately showed an embarrassed smile.

"'Sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Han. My business has been dealt with. I have already lost the game just now, and I need your help to replay it."

A trace of anxiety appeared on the delicate and perfect face of the man named Mr. Lou.

"Let's not play your game again, did you see anyone passing by just now?"

Jiang Ruozhi shook his head.

"No, Mr. Han, what's the matter?"

When they came just now, they didn't meet anyone.

This place is relatively remote, and few people come here.

It is precisely because of this that he chose to arranged the chess game here. Because it's quiet enough.

Hearing that Jiang Ruozhi didn't meet that person, Lou Yuchen was extremely disappointed.

He pursed his lips and said.

"He appeared."

"Him?"

A question mark appeared on Jiang Ruozhi's head.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise.

"Mr. Han, you mean, the person who broke your chess game?"

"Yeah." Han Seungwoo said lightly.

"He helped you get back the defeat."

"What?"

Jiang Ruozhi returned to the office with Han Seungwoo in shock, and saw thechess game he played with Han Seungwoo in the morning.

Although the chess game was only half played at that time, the outcome was already decided and it happened that Jiang Ruozhi had something to deal with.

He greeted Han Seungwoo and wanted to leave for a while.

Unexpectedly, when he came back after finishing the matter, his inevitable losing chess game was turned around by someone else.

In the encirclement and suppression of black chess, a new way of survival has been opened up.

Jiang Ruozhi excitedly said.

"It's him, he must have appeared."

It must be the person who broke Han Seungwoo's chess game before.

"Mr. Han, who is that person?"

Jiang Ruozhi couldn't wait to know who it was that possessed such a high chess power.

"I don't know."

Han Seungwoo raised his eyebrows and said.

"I left for a few minutes just now, and when I came back, there was an extra white piece on the board."

Han Seungwoo regretted that he wasted time when washing his hands just now.

If it had been earlier, maybe we would have met that person.

Jiang Ruozhi excitedly said.

"It's okay, Mr. Han, there is surveillance at the door. We can check the surveillance."

When Han Seungwoo heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said.

"Let's go."

He couldn't wait to find that person.

Jiang Ruozhi immediately led Han Seungwoo towards the monitoring room.
