Chapter 92: Han Seungwoo (3)

Lee Minho doesn't know Kang Taehyun's father, and it's the first time to visit the Kang's house.

When you go to someone's house for the first time, you can't go empty-handed.

Lee Minho asked Kang Taehyun to stop at the door of a fruit shop that looked pretty good, and then took Kang Taehyun in and bought two fruit baskets worth a thousand dollars each.

Thinking about the rebates he earned with Kang Taehyun's money, the two thousand dollars worth of fruit basket is actually not too expensive.

Lee Minho is stingy, but there are still basic etiquettes.

Moreover, even if he wanted to be stingy, the system would never allow him to do so.

Those who do things that do not conform to the etiquette of rich people will be punished by electric shock at any time.

When it was time to pay, Kang Taehyun rushed to ask for the payment, so of course Lee Minho couldn't let him pay.

In the end, Kang Taehyun had no choice but to carry two fruit baskets and put them in the compartment of the car ahead.

Although Kang Hongtao is a member of the collateral lineage of the Kang family, but because he has a good relationship with the head of the Kang family, even though he is a collateral lineage.

But it also manages part of the family business of Kang family.

However, Kang Hongtao also has his own ambitions.

He is not reconciled, and only clings to the shadow of the head of the Kang family.

It's just that after so many years, he has the heart and no energy to spare.

He wanted to get out of the Kang family, so that his Kang family could walk side by side with the head of the Kang family.

The four major families in Kyoto have basically taken all the advantages. If he wants to rush out from the four major families, it is basically impossible without external force.

And Lee Minho was the external force he chose.

Even though, he knew that choosing to cling to Lee Minho would be very risky.

But high risk means high reward.

Although they still don't know whether Lee Minho is a member of the hidden family, but judging from his generous spending, the family is definitely not simple.

Now that you have made your choice, there is no turning back.

So, he asked his son Kang Taehyun to invite Lee Minho home for a light meal.

Although it was just a simple meal on the surface, secretly, it was indeed the first meal of their Kang's family surrender.

Therefore, Kang Hongtao had asked people to prepare the ingredients early in the morning, trying to make Lee Minho eat as happily as possible.

Lee Minho really enjoyed eating.

Although there are only ten dishes, they are all delicious in color, flavor and taste.

It tastes great.

Especially the crab cake that was carefully prepared, which simply integrated the essence of more than a dozen crabs into a palm-sized pastry.

After one bite, it is the unfamiliar taste of more than a dozen crabs.

After eating and drinking, Lee Minho chatted with Kang Hongtao and the others for a while, and then left.

With a middle-aged uncle who is almost fifty years old, Lee Minho really has nothing to talk about.

This time he came to eat at the door, what he ate was just an attitude.

It's good for both parties to know each other well.

Seeing that Lee Minho was about to leave, Kang Hongtao asked Kang Taehyun to send Lee Minho off.

Lee Minho waved his hand and refused.

His villa is not far from Kang Taehyun's townhouse, and it takes only ten minutes to walk.

Just walked around after eating, good digestion.

Seeing Lee Minho refused, Kang Taehyun had no choice but to send it to the door.

Kang Taehyun returned to his home when he saw Lee Minho's figure disappear around the corner in the distance.

As soon as Kang Taehyun sat down, he heard his father.

"Since you have made your choice, then follow Young Master Lee. Like us, half heartedness is the most taboo."

Kang Taehyun nodded and said.

"Yes, I understand."

Kang Hongtao said again.

"It will be the birthday of the old man of the Qin family in a few days. You can ask Young Master Lee if he will go."

"If you go, you, bring the Choi family and the Jung family boys and pay attention. Let Young Master Lee see our value."

What happened to Lee Minho and Qin Anze at the Treasure Pavilion Auction House, the entire Kyoto circle already knew about it.

Whether it is for face, or to show the bearing of the big family. This time, the Qin family will definitely post to Lee Minho.

As for whether Lee Minho would suffer in the Qin family, Kang Hongtao believed that it would not.

It's just that if you don't suffer, it doesn't mean that the Qin family won't play tricks.

After all, on other people's territory, it is still hard to guard against.

That's why Kang Hongtao asked Kang Taehyun and the others to pay attention.

If the Qin family really played some tricks, they could show Lee Minho their worth.

After all, no one would always let a worthless and dragging crew member waste food on board.

After Lee Minho came out of Kang's villa, he hummed a little song and walked slowly towards his No. 1 villa.

After moving here for so long, this is the first time he has time to take a good look at the scenery of the Azure Retreat area where he lives.

There are lakes and woods. The scenery is good and the air is good.

Lee Minho feels that he has been lazy recently, so he should get up in the morning and go for a run to exercise his body.

Villa No. 3 is a bit far from Villa No. 1 where Lee Minho is located, and is closer to the villa area.

From Kang Taehyun's house, to return to Villa No. 1, you have to pass the road outside Villa No. 3.

As soon as Lee Minho walked to No. 3 villa, he saw that No. 3 villa, which had been quiet since he moved in, opened the door.

A large truck stopped at the door of Villa No. 3, and then some workers carried some furniture and walked into Villa No. 3.

After moving in, Lee Minho learned from Kang Taehyun that villa No. 3 was sold to a mysterious buyer a long time ago.

But that mysterious buyer never showed up.

Therefore, villa No. 3 has been empty.

Even Kang Taehyun couldn't find out who is the person who bought Villa No. 3 was, that identity was really quite mysterious.

Now, the owner of No. 3 villa, which has been empty for a long time, is planning to come back to live now?

As a neighbor, do you want to go up and say hello?

As soon as this idea came out, Lee Minho quickly denied it.

Forget it, those who can live in this villa are not simple people.

When he came to say hello, people thought he was trying to please them.

The less trouble, the better.

After dispelling this idea, Lee Minho was just about to walk to his villa when the phone rang suddenly.

Lee Minho took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello."

-"Hello, is this Lee Minho, Mr. Lee?"

Hearing the voice was a little strange, Lee Minho asked suspiciously.

"I am, who are you?"

"In the morning, I wanted to play a game of chess with Mr. Lee. The person who was rejected by Mr. Lee because of impoliteness."

The voice from the mobile phone was faint, like a cold pool in the deep mountains, giving people a feeling of coolness.

Lee Minho remembered.

"It's you."

It turned out to be the person who wanted to invite him to play chess in the morning.

-"I want to play a game of chess with Mr. Lee, when is it convenient for Mr. Lee?"

Han Seungwoo's voice on the other end of the phone was calm, but his eyes revealed a rare look of expectation.

He hoped that Lee Minho would agree to his game.

He didn't expect that in the morning, as he asked Jiang Ruozhi and others to find Lee Minho, hoping that he would play a game of chess with him.

As a result, Lee Minho was pissed off.

Just let it go, if you want to find him to play chess, let the chess player go to him in person.

Han Seungwoo was not angry at all, and he didn't even feel that there was anything wrong with Lee Minho asking him to go to the door to find him in person.

He felt that if Lee Minho really had the ability to compete with him, then he should pay a visit in person.

It is indeed rude to ask Jiang Ruozhi and the others to invite him. After all, doing that seemed a little threatening.

Fortunately Jiang Ruozhi and the others had a good attitude, so they didn't really offend Lee Minho.

Lee Minho became curious.

"Why did you ask me to play chess? Although I participated in the Chess Cup and entered the sixth round, there must be many people who are better than me at the scene. Why did you come to me?"

-"Do you still remember the chess game on the first floor of the sports center building yesterday?"

"A game of chess on the first floor of the sports center?"

Lee Minho thought about it for a while.

"You mean, that chess game in that office? You played that chess game?"

Han Seungwoo looked at the chess board in front of him.

On the chess board was the chess game from yesterday.

He glanced at the white chess piece that turned the world around, and said.

-"Well, I am the black chess piece."

'Black chess piece?'

Lee Minho remembered that game of chess.

Black's chess strength was very high, and it was not at the same level as white's.

He really didn't expect that this person actually contacted him.

In the morning, he wondered if someone wanted to give him a grand banquet.

Now it seems that it was a misunderstanding.

This person really wants to play chess with him.

However, Lee Minho was going to participate in the competition in the morning, and in the rest of his time, he had to enter the system space to complete the learning tasks.

Not to mention that he had to take time to play chess with the old man. His chess teacher in system space.

He is really busy and has no time to play chess with others. Besides, it's still a stranger he don't know.

Lee Minho felt that with the time to play chess, he could finish two or three lessons.

That's why there's no need to waste time for a stranger.

Therefore, Lee Minho directly refused.

"Sorry, I'm very busy recently. I don't have time to play chess with others. You can find someone else."

After finishing speaking, Lee Minho hung up the phone directly.

"Wait..."

Han Seungwoo on the other end wanted to say something, but found that the other party hung up the phone.

He looked down at the phone in his hand, unwilling to give up just like that.

So, he dialed that number again.

Seeing that the person called again, Lee Minho couldn't help answering the phone helplessly.

"Didn't I tell you everything, I don't have time?"

'Does this person not understand human speech? I made it so clear.'

"Are you scared?"

The cold and clear voice of the other party seemed to be mocking.

Lee Minho thought he heard it wrong.

"What did you say?"

Han Seungwoo clenched the phone tightly, and said calmly.

"Are you afraid of losing to me?"

Lee Minho laughed.

"Haha...Are you provoking me? Let me tell you, this trick is useless to me. If you have nothing more to say don't call me again."

Lee Minho hung up the phone again, and immediately blocked the phone number.

Do you think he will be fooled by such provocation?

He wants to play chess with Lee Minho, so does Lee Minho have to play chess? Who should he be?

The identity of the person who can use the president of the Kyoto Chess Association to invite him must not be simple.

"Forget it."

Lee Minho decided to let it pass one ear to the other. Even if that person is the Heavenly King it has nothing to do with him.

It's better to go back and play a game with the old man, he has another inspiration today.

Thinking of how to break the old man's trick yesterday.

He also have to go back and discuss with the system about the bodyguard.

Lee Minho hummed again as he walked towards his villa.

On the other side, Han Seungwoo, dialed Lee Minho's phone number again, and found himself blocked in disbelief.

He tightened his grip on the phone, and glanced at the chess pieces on the board again.

A breeze blew in from outside the window, ruffling the hair on his forehead.

A pair of deep eyes that seemed to be stained with ink were revealed.
