"Haha, Han Yifei and I are friends, and you calling me 'brother' is not right."

Xiao Chen shook hands with Han Jianguo and said with a smile.

"Can't we just discuss our own affairs?"

Han Jianguo's face was full of smiles. He was very grateful to Xiao Chen. If it weren't for his treatment, he might have died.

"Then I called you 'Uncle Han' last time. Didn't I suffer a loss?"

"Anyway, I think calling you brother is more intimate."

Han Jianguo said with a smile.

"Okay, you can call me whatever you want."

Xiao Chen said with pretended helplessness.

"Hahaha, then I'll call you Brother Xiao! By the way, Brother Xiao, why didn't you call and tell me before you came?"

"Why, I came at the wrong time?"

"Of course not. Just call me in advance so I can make arrangements."

Han Jianguo shook his head.

"Haha, what can I arrange? I just came to see the old man."

"Well, the old man is playing chess. I'll take you there now."

"Play chess? Who are you playing chess with?"

"Own."

"Myself? Haha, it seems that Mr. Han is extremely lonely. He can't find an opponent, so he plays chess with himself."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Well, that's true. The old man is very good at playing chess. I am no match for him... The old man said that I have too many trivial matters and it is difficult for me to concentrate."

Han Jianguo said with a wry smile.

"You, Secretary Han, are so busy, of course you can't be at peace."

As they were talking, they came to the backyard.

"Father."

Han Jianguo went in first.

"Well, you're here."

Old Man Han stood in front of the bamboo table and said without raising his head.

On the bamboo table, there is a chessboard with black and white pieces.

Apart from this, there is a purple clay teapot and nothing else.

Old Man Han held a black piece in his hand and after thinking for a long time, he dropped it.

Then he slowly walked to the other side, picked up the white piece, and began to think.

"Father, you have a visitor."

"Who's here? Didn't I say I don't want to see any outsiders?"

As Mr. Han spoke, he dropped the white piece again.

"Haha, old man, you missed me too?"

As he finished speaking, Xiao Chen came in from outside.

Hearing this voice, Mr. Han raised his head suddenly.

When he saw that it was Xiao Chen, a surprised smile appeared on his old face.

"Xiao Chen? Why are you here?"

"Haha, let me see the old man."

Xiao Chen stepped forward with a smile.

"Okay, sit down."

Old Man Han was very happy to see Xiao Chen, not only because his life was saved by Xiao Chen, but also because he regarded Xiao Chen as his grandson-in-law.

Han Yifei is his favorite junior!

"Haha, old man, I didn't disturb you from playing chess, did I?"

"No, no, I just played chess when I had nothing to do."

"Just now I told Secretary Han that only masters would play against themselves, because loneliness is invincible... That's how it's played on TV and in movies."

"Hahaha, I'm not really an expert... Hey, Xiao Chen, can you play chess?"

"A little bit."

"Okay, shall we have a go?"

Mr. Han was overjoyed and said.

"Haha, okay."

"Come on, let's play the next one."

As Mr. Han said this, he was about to put away the chess pieces on the board.

"Master, there's no need to start over. Isn't there a ready-made chess game? We can just continue."

Xiao Chen stopped Mr. Han and said with a smile.

"Continue?"

Old Man Han was slightly surprised. You know, playing this kind of endgame is much more difficult than starting over.

Because if you start over, every step will be your own and you will be able to know what is going on!

As for the endgame, it is not easy to fully understand the entire game, let alone continue playing!

"Yes, old man, do you want to play black or white?"

Xiao Chen nodded and asked.

"I'll play white."

Mr. Han hesitated for a moment and said.

"Okay, then I'll play the black pieces. It's my turn, right?"

Xiao Chen came to the side of Heizi and looked at the entire chess board.

"right."

Mr. Han nodded.

"Then I will make a fool of myself."

Xiao Chen picked up the black piece, looked at it briefly, and started to make moves.

Old Man Han was a little surprised. He finished the whole chess game so quickly?

Han Jianguo came over, he also wanted to see how powerful Xiao Chen was to dare to play the endgame.

"Master, please."

"good."

Old Man Han nodded, picked up the white piece, and dropped it.

The two of them moved back and forth, and the black and white pieces on the chessboard seemed to come alive, you advance and I retreat, and the game became entangled.

At the same time, the third brother Han Yuanchao and the fourth brother Han Youwei also came.

When they saw Xiao Chen playing chess with the old man, they stood by and watched without saying a word.

When Xiao Chen saw them coming, he nodded to them as a greeting.

Afterwards, he continued to concentrate on playing chess with Mr. Han.

I have to say that Mr. Han is really a master, and his chess style is bold and fierce.

If Xiao Chen had not read several ancient chess manuals and played chess with the old fortune teller frequently, he would probably not be a match for Mr. Han.

However, even so, the battle between the two became entangled.

Old Man Han was getting more and more delighted as the game went on. This was a kind of joy that came from seeing prey.

In the past, he often played chess with some old comrades and old friends, but as time went by, those old comrades and old friends were all gone.

There are only a few people left from the same era, and among them are old rivals with whom he has no common interests, so there are even fewer people who can play chess with him.

As for Han Jianguo and others, as he said, they were not calm and were no match for him.

Over time, he could only play chess by himself to relieve his boredom.

But now, Xiao Chen can fight with him and not be at a disadvantage.

How could he not be excited and even feel competitive?

"It's rare, it's rare."

Mr. Han said this and dropped another white piece.

"Master, what's so difficult?"

Xiao Chen followed up and asked.

"It's rare that there are still young people who can have such high chess skills and such a state of mind."

Old Man Han glanced at Xiao Chen and said with emotion.

"Haha, old man, those professional chess players are also very good, and there are many young people among them."

"That's different. Professional chess players play chess with a utilitarian mind."

"Hehe, what about us?"

"We only fight to win or lose, not for utilitarian purposes."

"One more move."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he dropped another black piece.

Ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes passed.

Han Jianguo and others were tired of standing, so they pulled over chairs and sat nearby.

In order not to disturb the two people playing chess, they didn't dare to speak and could only hold their breath and watch.

After about half an hour, Mr. Han picked up the white piece, but he didn't put it down.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the white piece back.

"It's a tie."

"Yeah, it's a tie."

Xiao Chen nodded and put the black piece he was playing with back.

"Done?"

Han Jianguo and others hurriedly stood up and looked at the chess board, each with a strange expression.

After playing for so long, there is still no winner in the end. It’s a draw?

"Actually, I lost."

Mr. Han looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile.

"Father, why?"

Han Youwei asked curiously.

"Because the game we played was the endgame I played."

"What?"

Han Yuanchao and Han Youwei widened their eyes.

They arrived late and didn't know that the two were playing an endgame.

"It was a close game, but it ended in a draw, so I actually lost."

Mr. Han said slowly.

"Grandpa, it's a tie! Besides, there's no point in telling who wins and who loses between us. It doesn't matter who wins or who loses."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Hahaha, yes, come on, let's sit over there."

Mr. Han also laughed.

The group came and sat down, and Han Youwei poured them tea.

There was no other way. Apart from Xiao Chen, he was the youngest, so this job fell on him.

"Xiao Chen, you went to Macau?"

After drinking a sip of tea, Mr. Han looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"Well, I went to Macau for a tour, and then came to Beijing."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Gambling King He told me that he knew you."

"Well, I have a history with him."

Mr. Han said with a smile.

"He asked me about you, so I just briefly told him."

"Haha, old man, now that you mentioned that, he came to me."

"Oh? What do I want to do with you?"

Mr. Han asked curiously.

Xiao Chen simply told the story about how gambling king He gave him shares, and the three Han Youwei brothers were a little envious after hearing it.

"Brother Xiao, 5% of the shares of Gambling King He is not a small amount."

Han Jianguo looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"Brother, why do you call Xiao Chen your brother?"

Han Youwei was stunned for a moment and looked at Han Jianguo.

"What's wrong?"

"He and Xiaofei are... friends, you call him brother..."

"To each his own."

“…”

Han Youwei was speechless. He shook his head and said nothing more.

"I know that the 5% stake held by Gambling King Ho is not a small amount, but it will cause a lot of trouble in the future."

Xiao Chen looked at the three of them and spoke slowly.

"Well, Xiao Chen is right."

Mr. Han nodded.

"The He family is now supported by Xiao He. Once he is gone, powerful enemies will attack together and divide the He family! Now, Xiao He has tied Xiao Chen to his boat with 5% of the shares, and he also wants to use him to protect the He family! When the time comes, the enemies of the He family will be Xiao Chen's enemies!"

"Yes, I heard that each of the major casinos in Macau has its own forces behind them, including overseas forces..."

"Yeah." Old Man Han nodded: "But this is not a bad thing for you! As long as nothing unexpected happens, with Xiao He's body, it shouldn't be a big problem to hold on for two or three years. No one knows what the situation will be like by then."

"Haha, before I came here, I took care of Gambling King He's health. He should have no problem living for another ten or eight years."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Mr. Han was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.

"Haha, then you don't have to worry. At least when he's alive, no trouble will come to you!"
