Dad, please try harder

Looking at Huaihe River.

After Qian Quan went to Zhonghai to study, Hu Ye started to play chess again, and once again transformed from "hard to win" to "lonely master".

In daily life, opponents like Qian Quan are not so easy to encounter casually.

Early in the morning, Mr. Hu came back from exercising outside and was about to wash up and have breakfast when he received a call from his son-in-law.

"Dad, I didn't delay your exercise, did I?" Zhao Chunjia obviously called him on the spot.

"No, I just got back." Mr. Hu said as he wiped his sweat with a towel, "Call me at this time. Is there something urgent?"

"It's not an urgent matter. It's just a small matter. I've been thinking about it all night and suddenly came back to it. I want you to help me analyze it."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Mr. Hu sat down on the Grand Master's chair.

"That Qian Quan you mentioned to me before participated in some chess match yesterday and won against Li Weifeng's little daughter. Then I don't know what happened in the middle. Li Weifeng actually called me personally last night to ask me about this.

He also specifically mentioned "your old father-in-law's long-lasting chess friend".

"I didn't pay attention to his tone at the time. It wasn't until I woke up this morning that I figured out there might be some misunderstanding. Otherwise, why would he call me to ask about such a trivial matter."

"Oh..." Mr. Hu chuckled, "He is worried that money and power are also my moves."

"how to say?"

"Back then, I asked Bai Yu to go to the palace and choose Master Zhu as my teacher. Although I followed the trend, I did have the intention of making friends with him, Li Weifeng. With his shrewdness, he naturally saw my intention and just pretended not to know.

"Now Qian Quan got to know his daughter because of playing chess, and he learned from Bai Yu that Qian Quan knew me, so he subconsciously speculated that Qian Quan was a chess piece arranged by me and intended to get close to his daughter through playing chess."

"Is he overthinking it?" Zhao Chunjia actually thinks this speculation is reasonable.

Mr. Hu didn't answer, but thought to himself: "His son can do it, but his daughter can't."

Zhao Chunjia said: "What you don't know, dad, is that his little daughter is a bit special, with a very high IQ. She is a genius, but she can't communicate with others. She seems to be called high-functioning autism or something, so the whole family is very careful about her.

"

"That's no wonder," Mr. Hu understood. "Well, you give him a call again and make it clear that Qian Quan is just a chess friend I met by chance, not a chess piece specially arranged by me.

"Even if it is, it's just a random move, purely out of admiration, without any clear direction. What the future holds is beyond my control."

"Okay." Zhao Chunjia also had this plan.

"By the way, hasn't he called you yet?"

"No, I'm quite ambitious."

"As expected, I was not disappointed," Mr. Hu said with relief and emotion, "Who can treat a person with such great fortune as a pawn?"

"Dad, do you think it's necessary for me to ask Bai Yu to invite him and the two children from Li Weifeng's family to my home?"

"Let it take its course. Bai Yu doesn't like to deal with a boy like him who is gentle and has no martial arts skills. We don't have to force him."

"Okay. Dad, I'll call Li Weifeng again."

…

Qian Quan had almost guessed Li Zihe's intention.

I'm not here to avenge my sister, I'm here to investigate the case for my sister.

After all, the acquaintance between myself and Li Zhiyi from online to offline was a bit dramatic.

"Is it serious? Tell me." Qian Quan's expression also became serious.

"I heard from my sister that when you play chess with her online, you all draw. Why? You can win but you deliberately don't win?"

"I'm not just playing chess with your sister, I'm playing chess with everyone. My ID is called 'Shake Hands and Make Peace'."

"Why? Cast a wide net?"

"ha?"

"You obviously have such a high level of chess skills, but you go around playing chess with people. Aren't you trying to attract attention?"

"Brother Li, to be honest, I feel like I can't keep up with your brain circuitry. Why am I playing human and chess online to attract attention? Why can't I be promoting a concept of peace?"

Li Zihe sneered: "You first played 20 consecutive games with my sister online, and then exposed your identity in person during an offline game. How could it be such a coincidence?"

Qian Quan also laughed: "Brother Li, before you get angry and force your reasoning, have you ever considered why I played more than 20 games of chess with your sister?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?"

"Oh, you mean, I consciously and deliberately set up this trap after understanding your sister's character?"

Li Zihe acquiesced.

"Then why can't it be you who are setting me up?"

"What did you say?"

"Of the 20 or so chess games online, except for the first one, which was a random match, my sister took the initiative to play the rest. As for this Freshmen Cup chess match, it was also sponsored by my sister's chess association. The choice of my opponent was

It is decided randomly by drawing lots.

"After the game, it was my sister who took the initiative to ask me if she could continue to play chess with me in the future. And after I agreed out of politeness, you came to question me on behalf of my sister. According to your thinking, I am like that step by step

A victim of a trap, right?"

"You want to bite back?"

Qian Quan sneered: "I can understand your feeling of protecting your sister, but what I want to say is that I am just an ordinary boy from a remote town. I have no backer, no background, no throne in my family to inherit, and not so many conspiracies.

Conspiracy, as for the links I mentioned above, judge for yourself whether you can control them all perfectly?

"You should not come to me today, but should have a good chat with your sister to find out what she is thinking and what she really wants.

"For a person who can play chess so well, do you really think she doesn't understand the ways of the world at all? Does she not understand, or does she disdain to understand, or is she too lazy to understand?

"Anyway, I always believe that besides us laymen, there are still some people in this world who are sophisticated but not worldly, who are smooth and naive.

"Until the truth comes out, I will reject all her invitations. If you are still worried, I will block her in front of you now."

Qian Quan said and opened the "Yilu Peer" app.

"wait a moment!"

Li Zihe quickly stopped him. He had just been robbed by Qian Quan and was a little confused.

Let’s not talk about whether what he said makes sense, but what if all this is really just a coincidence?

His sister finally found a well-matched opponent who could play chess to relieve her boredom, and then he recklessly strangled her in the cradle. What would be the consequences if his sister knew about this? What would her sister think?

"Did you really just happen to meet her online?"

"Before yesterday, I didn't even know whether 'One Nine Gets Nine' was a boy or a girl. Or if you think about it differently, even if there weren't more than 20 draws online, I only beat her in two games in the chess game, and she would be

What’s the reaction?”

This last sentence reminded Li Zihe that based on his understanding of his sister, if she lost to someone in the chess game, she would definitely continue to look for him.

"Actually, after talking about it now, I have roughly guessed that your family must be either rich or noble. You might as well use your family's connections to inquire and see if my money and power have the ability to arrange such a big situation?

"Or, do you think I have any other accomplices who can be investigated together? I believe you have this ability. On the premise of not harming anyone, you can investigate at will, hire a private detective, or call the police.

"

Li Zihe was silent. His father had reminded him that Huang Pinghu and Zhao Chunjia could not be mentioned for the time being. He had not yet fully confirmed it.

At this moment, seeing Qian Quan showing such a frank attitude, he began to waver, suspecting that he was careless and overthinking.

Just at this moment, his cell phone rang with a message notification tone. He glanced at it and saw that it was from his father:

"Stop checking, it's a misunderstanding."

really!

After reasoning for a long time, I ended up making a preconceived inference of guilt.

An emotion called embarrassment and shame emerged from the bottom of my heart.

"I think this is it. If she asks me to play chess again in the future, I will find a reason to politely refuse. I will refuse maybe two or three times, and then she will give up."

"She won't give up." Li Zihe blurted out as he no longer had the confidence to plead guilty.

"Then I'll just refuse a few more times and just say that I have to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, or that I'm in love and don't have time to play chess."

"No need..." Li Zihe looked at Qian Quan with a complicated expression, "If you are free, you can still play with her online."

"Huh???" Qian Quan felt that his forehead must be full of question marks at this moment, and his eyes were full of "Are you kidding me"?

"You just convinced me," Li Zihe said with a guilty conscience, "I shouldn't interfere too much in my sister's life."

"I agree with this statement." Qian Quan nodded.

Seeing the other party being so upright, Li Zihe felt even more guilty and said:

"You must be wondering how I crushed that brick just now, right? That's one of the kung fu I practice, called 'Flat Foot'.

"However, that is too difficult for you. In order to apologize for my behavior today, I will teach you some simple self-defense techniques."

"No, I just want to imitate that flat foot. How did you get it? Is it like this?"

Qian Quan said, raising his foot and kicking the stone next to the broken bricks.

"Oh, my feet are really numb!" Qian Quan said.

Li Zihe laughed helplessly: "I have seen young people like you a lot. I have practiced two sets of radio gymnastics, so I thought..."

As soon as he said this, the stone split into two and cracked.

Li Zihe: "..."

Qian Quan looked at him seriously: "What do you think?"
