Chapter 279 Playing Chess
Ning Changbo lost the game and snorted unwillingly, "Old Man Meng, don't be so proud. I'll let my granddaughter play with you."
"Ruanruan, come here! Let Grandpa Meng see what real chess skills are." Ning Changbo said proudly.
Chu Ruanruan walked over helplessly: "Grandpa, I told you the secret of playing chess, but you just memorized it and it's useless!"
"What you told me about sacrificing the rook when in an advantageous position and sacrificing the piece innately is too complicated. I don't understand. You go ahead and I'll watch." Ning Changbo quickly gave up his position.
"Grandpa Meng, you are the elder, please go in first!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"Then I won't be polite! The cannon will go first and eat your soldiers!" Monkie said with a smile.
"Grandpa Meng, this move is a bit radical. Even if you want to eat my soldiers, it depends on whether you have the strength to do so!"
"You girl, you're so arrogant, just like Old Ning when he was young!"
“…”
Playing chess with Chu Ruanruan, Monk's mind was not so uncomfortable anymore.
Soon, it was getting dark and dinner was ready.
Monchi and Chu Ruanruan have played seven or eight games, but Monchi has only won one game so far, and it was a narrow victory.
"The meal is ready, it's time to eat!" said Du Yueke.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's finish this game first!" Ning Changbo was watching with great interest.
Not to mention Ning Changbo, the chess game played by Chu Runrun and Meng Qi made even those who didn't cook gather around and watch.
Seeing that there was only one soldier left on Monk's side and Chu Runrun still had a cannon in his hand, the balance of victory in this battle was clearly tilted towards Chu Runrun.
The sweat on Monchi's head kept pouring down. In the end, he had no more moves to make and could only admit defeat.
"Huh~ Do you have a very smart mind, girl? You are so difficult to deal with!" Monkie sighed.
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa. I'm lucky!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"You're lucky to have won eight out of nine games. I'm really getting old," Monchi said with a smile.
"Okay! The chess game is over, let's eat!" Du Yue said with a smile.
When Monkie saw that it was dark outside, he realized:
"It's already dark. Have we been raining for so long? No, no, I have to go home and cook."
As Monchi was about to leave, he was stopped by Ning Changbo.
"You still want to leave so late? That's a nice thought. Come over quickly for dinner and stay here after dinner!"
"Lao Ning, I've been bothering you for so long, how can I..."
"If we are brothers, don't say that. My home is your home. How can I feel at ease leaving you alone at home during the New Year?" Ning Changbo said.
"Laoning, this..."
"If you want to go back, that's fine. I'll go back with you. If you don't mind, we can share a bed like when we were young." Ning Changbo said with a smile.
"Grandpa Meng, please stay. It will be more lively with more people." Chu Runrun said with a smile.
Monkie lowered his head, his eyes reddening: "I never thought... I never thought I would be able to celebrate the New Year with such a lively atmosphere!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! You must come here every New Year from now on. As long as I am still here, I will not let you celebrate the New Year alone." Ning Changbo said with a smile.
"Let's go eat!"
Ning Changbo pulled Monkie towards the restaurant.
While eating, Chu Runrun's cell phone rang. It turned out to be a video call from Qi Chong.
"Brother Qi Chong, why are you sending me a video at this time?" Chu Runrun asked.
"Ruanruan, you are in your hometown now!"
"yes!"
"Where is Grandpa Ning? I have something to ask him!" Qi Chong looked sad.
Chu Ruanruan handed the phone to Ning Changbo: "Grandpa, Brother Qi Chong said he wants to talk to you."
"What does this kid Qi Chong want from me?"
Ning Changbo took the phone and happened to see Monkie next to him.
Qi Chong's expression tensed slightly: "Grandpa Ning, is Grandpa Meng also with you?"
"Yes! What's wrong?" Ning Changbo asked.
"It's good to be with you. You must be careful during this period!" Qi Chong said seriously.
"What happened?" asked Monkey.
Qi Chong was silent for a moment before he said, "Meng Yi secretly transmitted intelligence while being imprisoned and tortured by the drug lords, and the police successfully destroyed several dens a few days ago.
But the drug lords have already realized that the news was leaked by Meng Yi, and they are likely to retaliate against Grandpa Meng! "
As soon as Qi Chong finished speaking, Meng Qi slammed the table and stood up:
"If you want revenge, come at me. I'm not afraid of him. If he dares to come, I'll just avenge my son!"
Monkey's eyes were red and angry tears were gathering in the corners of his eyes.
"Grandpa Meng, don't be impulsive. What I said was just a possibility!" Qi Chong said hurriedly.
Ning Changbo pulled Meng Qi to sit down and said to Qi Chong, "Don't worry, I will watch over him."
"If you need help, we will do our best!" Qi Chong said.
"Yeah!" Ning Changbo responded and hung up the video.
Monkie was crying uncontrollably at this moment.
The pain that had been buried deep in his heart was torn open again at this moment, and the pain of losing his son made Monkie burst into tears.
Ning Changbo patted Monk's shoulder and did not try to comfort him, letting him cry for a long time.
Everyone else also lost their appetite and put down their chopsticks in silence.
"You all eat, let's go sit outside!"
Ning Changbo helped Monkie out.
Chu Runrun looked at Monk's face and her brows gradually furrowed.
"Ruanruan, did you figure out something?" Ning Xuan asked.
Chu Ruanruan shook her head: "All I can see is that Grandpa Meng has had a rough life and was born with a miserable fate, but after this life, his next life will be very smooth."
"We have to be careful about what Qi Chong just said. If there is any danger, we won't be passive!" Chu Qi said.
"Judging from his facial features, Grandpa Meng doesn't have any signs of bloody disaster for the time being. We shouldn't be too nervous, otherwise Grandpa Meng will feel even worse." Chu Ruanruan said.
"This is an adult matter, so you kids don't have to worry about it. I'll let Qin Feng and the others come over!" Ning Youwei said.
"Dad, no need! It's not good to let Uncle Qin go to work during the New Year. I will ask Sister Zhiyin to find a few little ghosts to guard nearby." Chu Runrun said.
Ning Youwei was stunned: "Letting a ghost guard the door, this... is this appropriate?"
"It's okay! People need to sleep, but ghosts don't need to sleep. Aren't they more reliable than human power?" Chu Runrun said.
"Well... okay!" Ning Youwei could only nod.
That night, Chu Runrun asked Wei Zhiyin to recruit a dozen little ghosts to guard the windows and doors, and they would catch any bad guys who approached.
Dahei also played the role of bodyguard very competently, and even moved his own doghouse to the door.
