To be honest, the family affection in the Archibald family is really thin and cheap.
In the Archibald family, there is no preference for boys over girls, nor is there any preference for girls over boys.
The capable ones will be promoted.
At the same time, it is also the law of competitive survival.
It is not surprising that Akina wants to kick her father out and take over herself.
However, Akina had been hiding it very well, and even her brother Moseston had guessed it.
Things about getting in touch with Qiu Shui and cooperating with Qiu Shui.
Moseston also knew it.
However, Aqina did not expect that her father would find out so soon.
What does this mean? It means there is a traitor around her.
Suddenly, Aqina suddenly thought of something.
She turned around and looked at the bodyguard who had been following her since she was a child.
"Is it you?"
The only people involved in the cooperation and marriage with Qiu Shui were her, Moseston, and her bodyguard Harry.
There was no way Moseston would betray her.
That would just be Harry.
"Harry, you betrayed me?"
This Harry has been with Achina since she was a child, and Achina trusts him very much.
Whenever she did something shameful, she would basically take Harry with her.
So, Aqina was very unbelievable.
"Sorry." Harry lowered his head, not daring to look at Akina's expression.
He actually felt bad too.
But, he had to do it.
"Betrayal? My dear daughter, are you mistaken?"
Crowder stood up from the sofa, his hands in his pockets, his deep blue eyes were cold.
He said to Akina: "I gave Harry to you. He was originally mine."
In addition to Harry, the personal bodyguard beside Moseston was also arranged by Crude.
Regarding the movements of his two children.
Crud has it under control.
The Archibald family has always been scheming against each other.
Sometimes, even one's own children cannot be trusted.
Look, he hasn't retired yet. The two daughters have already started thinking about kicking him out and taking his place themselves.
Moreover, in order to take the position of the head of the family, Aqina actually chose to cooperate with a Chinese.
And promised to give one third of the treasure?
"Akina, you chose to cooperate with that Chinese man, which is a betrayal to our Archibald family. You should know what will happen to those who betray our Archibald family."
Claude loves his daughter Achina very much.
After all, among so many children, she was the one who looked most like him.
But, it is also because she is like myself.
That's why Claude is most wary of her.
Before, when he found that she seemed to want to get close to the Chinese man, Crowder had already guessed her thoughts.
So, he hurried back from the United States.
Unexpectedly, today she actually went to find that Chinese man secretly.
He wants to get the ancestral treasure through marriage.
Crud would never allow this to happen.
Although their first generation ancestor was the heir to the Niwang Palace and was a good friend.
But now hundreds of years have passed.
The two families have never had any contact.
Some time ago, the heir of the Prince's Palace even directly attacked their Archibald family.
It dealt a heavy blow to the Archibald family.
It caused their family to lose hundreds of billions.
Claude was ready to settle this account with the heir of the Renwang Palace.
Claude had already informed everyone in the family about this matter.
As for the treasure.
As long as we get rid of the heir of Niou Palace and the heir's father who is hiding behind the scenes.
Then they can naturally get the things.
But I didn't expect that Akina would choose to cooperate with the heir of Huiren Palace.
"Traitor? Daddy, this is not betrayal. In Chinese terms, this is called going with the flow."
Since they have all been discovered.
Aqina was not going to quibble anymore.
"Dad, you should know that you are old. Our family needs fresh blood to drive the development of the family. Qiu Shui, the heir of Renwang Palace, is that fresh blood."
Why did Aqina choose to marry Qiu Shui?
In addition to the forces behind Qiu Shui, he also took a fancy to Qiu Shui's abilities.
After all, apart from the previous losses caused by their internal competition. The only one who could cause the Archibald family to suffer such a huge loss was Qiu Shui.
The man who rejected her without hesitation.
"Oh."
Crowder said disdainfully: "When did our noble Archibald family need others to drive our development? Take her away and keep her under guard. No one is allowed to let her out without my order."
Soon, Aqina was taken away.
Akina did not resist.
Because she knew that once her plan was exposed, her good father... I won't let myself go easily.
When Moseston saw Aqina being taken away, his heart tightened.
He was not worried about Aqina, he was worried about himself.
Because he didn't expect the bodyguard beside him.
It turned out that he was an undercover agent sent by his father to be by his side.
After dealing with Achina, Claude turned and looked at Moseston.
When he saw Moseston giving him a slightly flattering smile, he became even angrier.
"Useless thing, you are worse than Akina."
At least Aqina used her brain and took action immediately.
But this useless thing, Moseston, just talks lip service every time.
To use a Chinese idiom, it means looking ahead and behind.
Crowder glared at him fiercely. "There are still so many things to be done at the auction. What are you still doing here? Get out of here now."
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away. I'll go right away."
Moseston smiled humbly and slipped away quickly like a rabbit.
Looking at Moseston's useless appearance, Claude snorted coldly.
This son is the most useless one among all his children.
Also the stupidest one.
Originally, Claude handed over the auction matters to Achina and Moseston.
Now that Aqina is locked up, Moseston is the only one left.
If Moseston was not the son of his first wife, someone from his first wife's side would also attend the auction this time.
Crude would not leave the auction matters to him.
As for Achina.
Even though she did something wrong.
But, after all, she is his daughter.
Moreover, Aqina also has the function of marriage alliance.
So, Claude has no intention of touching her yet.
But after this incident, Aqina has been removed from the list of heirs.
In his opinion, Crud is just a very selfish person.
Their Archibald family is the noblest family in the world.
What is the hidden family of China, what is the Renwang Palace.
There is no way to compare with their family.
And there is Qiu Shui.
Not only did he steal hundreds of billions from their family.
Now, he even dared to reject his daughter's proposal in front of the bodyguard?
It's simply seeking death.
She is the daughter of Krude, no matter how bad she is. Also from the Archibald family.
It's not yet the turn of that little Chinese to be humiliated.
It was his honor that Aqina liked him.
It has always been the Archibald family that has rejected others, and no one has ever rejected them.
Since Qiu Shui is so ungrateful.
Well, don't blame him for being rude.
At this time, Qiu Shui was already on Crowder's list of people to be slaughtered.
This auction is prepared for the Chinese people.
Now Qiu Shui is here. Maybe he came here for the auction.
After all, he had delivered the invitations personally.
Moseston walked out of the gate of Archibald Castle and got into the newly replaced supercar parked outside.
After closing the car door, the expression on Moseston's face changed immediately.
The cowardice he had shown when facing his father just now completely disappeared.
The expression on his face became particularly gloomy.
His temperament also underwent a drastic change.
"That idiot was not on guard at all and was caught by the old man. She wasted the opportunity I created for her."
Moseston reached out and put his hand under the base of the car.
He took out a one centimeter-sized, very inconspicuous listening device from it.
Moseston looked at the eavesdropper in question and sneered.
That old man always uses these tricks.
Moseston threw the eavesdropping device in his hand into a drawer on the passenger seat.
Then, the music was turned on and the deafening music was played.
Then drive the car away.
In everyone's eyes, Moseston was a stupid guy.
After all, he never had his own ideas.
And once something happens, they will retreat.
However, in reality, that was just Moseston's disguise.
The guys in the family all thought that Archibald's diary was found by accident.
In fact, he found it somewhere else.
The reason he brought it back to his family was to ask them to help him find the treasure.
Unexpectedly, the first person to be fooled would be his sister who thought she was smart.
If that Chinese person is really willing to marry, that would of course be the best.
But, if you didn't expect it, he actually refused.
And he refused so bluntly.
That idiot Aqina actually proposed marriage to the other person as soon as they met.
If it were him, he wouldn't agree either.
Besides, although Aqina is beautiful, she is not as good-looking as Qiu Shui's partner.
In fact, apart from her identity as Miss Archibald, Achina is not as strong as the man named Lou Yuchen.
After all, that man's identity as a chess god is indeed glorious on the surface.
And as a chess god, Lou Yuchen is also protected by the Chinese country. And the support from international chess players.
People from other countries don't dare to touch him easily.
The most important thing is that Aqina actually threatened Qiu Shui directly.
Now Qiu Shui definitely doesn't have a good impression of their Archibald family.
Plus the old man is now staring at him.
It was already very difficult for him to get close to Qiu Shui again.
It seems that I have to think of another solution.
Qiu Shui was not interested in anything about the Archibald family. I don't care.
Because there are two days off, Qiu Shui plans to go out and play with Lou Yuchen.
As for Liang Zitao and others, they have their own shows.
Lou Yuchen had never been to Mijiale before.
So, Qiu Shui planned to find a tour guide nearby.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
The next day, Saturday.
Suddenly it started snowing heavily.
As soon as Qiu Shui opened the window, a heavy snowstorm blew towards him.
Qiu Shui only felt that his face was hurt by the wind.
He immediately returned to the room and closed the door.
Oh, what bad luck.
We finally got a chance to rest and had planned to go out for fun, but unexpectedly it started snowing heavily.
It is definitely not a good time to go out today.
Qiu Shui picked up his phone and walked out of the room.
I went there and saw Lou Yuchen sitting in the living room, holding a chess manual in one hand and playing Go with the other.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, Lou Yuchen put down the chess book in his hand. He stood up, turned around and looked at Qiu Shui.
"Good morning." Qiu Shui greeted while leaning against the door frame and yawning.
"It's snowing heavily today, so we can't go out. If you're sleepy, you can sleep for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Yuchen frowned.
Because he found that Qiu Shui was only wearing a white sweater.
He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you wear an extra piece of clothing?"
"No, there's heating, it's not cold."
Qiu Shui asked, "Are you playing music?"
"Well, there is an interesting ancient chess game."
Although Qiu Shui said she wasn't cold, Lou Yuchen still walked into the room, took out a coat and put it on Qiu Shui.
"Interesting ancient chess game? Let me take a look."
The chess game that could arouse Lou Yuchen's interest must be extraordinary.
Qiu Shui walked over and took a look.
I was stunned for a moment.
"I think I've seen this chess game somewhere before. Is this chess game in this book?"
Qiu Shui casually picked up the book that Lou Yuchen had just put down.
It wasn't an illusion, Qiu Shui really seemed to have seen this chess game before.
"No, I saw this game of chess by chance on a website. It was very strange, so it left a deep impression on me. Have you seen this game of chess?" Lou Yuchen asked.
"Yes, I should have. But I can't remember it."
"I remember that if I move this white piece here, the puzzle can be solved."
As Qiu Shui spoke, he picked up a white chess piece and dropped it directly in the middle of the black chess pieces.
Suddenly, the white chess piece that was originally trapped reversed its inevitable death and created another path.
The black chess piece, which originally had all the advantages, was transformed from a hunter into a prey because of that white chess piece.
All these changes happened just because of Qiu Shui's white chess piece.
Lou Yuchen was also shocked by Qiu Shui's move.
"Have you solved this game before?"
Although Qiu Shui just said that he had seen this game of chess, having seen it doesn't mean he can solve it.
Lou Yuchen had seen this game of chess a long time ago.
However, after studying it for a long time, the mystery has not been solved.
I thought I'd take a look at it again while I have some free time today.
Unexpectedly, it was solved by Qiu Shui.
Lou Yuchen's question made Qiu Shui stunned.
So familiar.
Their current scene and conversation made Qiu Shui instantly fall into memories.
"Oh, I remember now."
Qiu Shui clenched his left fist and pounded the palm of his right hand.
"I remember where I've seen this chess game. I saw it when I was a kid. My dad and I were watching other people play chess in the park, and there was an uncle who played this chess game. I still remember that uncle was wearing an ancient costume, and he looked handsome. He was also..."
As Qiu Shui was talking, his eyes suddenly widened.
"What's wrong?"
Lou Yuchen asked curiously.
"I suddenly remembered something. You watch first."
After saying that, Qiu Shui left Lou Yuchen behind, ran into the room and closed the door.
Leaving behind Lou Yuchen with a confused look on his face.
Qiu Shui returned to the room and immediately ran into the system space.
"System, come out."
The system heard Qiu Shui's voice, rubbed its eyes in a daze, and appeared in front of Qiu Shui.
Then he asked in a baby voice: "What's wrong? What happened so early in the morning?"
What happened?
Something big happened.
Qiu Shui directly questioned the system, "System, let me ask you, did I see the old man when I was a child?"
"Ah?" The system scratched the back of its head in confusion, "Host, what are you talking about?"
The system really didn’t understand what Qiu Shui was talking about.
"You really don't know?"
Qiu Shui looked at the system suspiciously.
"This system really doesn't know."
The system looked innocent, then remembered what Qiu Shui had just said, and suddenly reacted.
"Son, what did you say just now? You said you met the old man when you were a child?"
"Yes, I saw him when I was a kid, probably in the first grade of junior high school. My dad took me to the park to watch others play chess, and he was in that park, setting up the chessboard. Moreover, he looked exactly like he does now when he was young."
No wonder Qiu Shui felt that the young-looking old man looked familiar.
It turned out that he had really met the old man before.
"Well, host, maybe you remembered it wrongly. This is impossible. Because the old man died before you were born."
The system is documented, so there is no room for error.
Judging from the system, it doesn't seem to be lying.
But Qiu Shui really remembered that he had seen a young-looking old man before.
Because the chess game that the old man set up at that time was the same one that Lou Yuchen set up just now.
The old man who set up the chess game said that as long as someone could break his chess game.
He would give the other person what he wanted.
Qiu Shui remembered that he was very mischievous at that time.
After hearing what the old man said, I asked him directly if beating him was all I needed to do.
You can have whatever you want.
The old man agreed.
At that time, Qiu Shui had just started playing Go.
In fact, I don’t know how to play Go at all.
He just thought it was interesting.
So, I wanted to give it a try.
So he picked up a white chess piece.
Originally he wanted to place the white chess piece in the middle.
As a result, his hand slipped and the chess piece fell onto the chessboard.
It was precisely because of such a coincidence that it fell.
The chess game was broken directly.
The young old man, who was wearing ancient costume at the time, also asked Qiu Shui in shock: "Have you solved this game of chess before?"
It was exactly the same as what Lou Yuchen had just said.
That's why Qiu Shui suddenly recalled it.
But, as the system says.
The old man died before he was born.
Because Uncle Fu also said that.
However, Qiu Shui felt that his memory could not be wrong.
The one back then was the old man.
Because he won the chess game accidentally, but the old man left without saying a word.
This made Qiu Shui think about this matter for a long time.
He also called the old man a liar for a long time.
However, as time passed, Qiu Shui gradually put this matter behind him.
"System dad, don't say anything, just let me go see the old man. I'll know if it's true or not after I ask him in person."
That’s right, the best way is to go and ask the old man for confirmation.
However, the system said with difficulty: "But you can't see the old man now, because he is in seclusion again."
When saying this, a trace of guilt appeared on the system's face.
The old man is actually here, but he just told the system secretly.
Let the system tell Qiu Shui that he is in seclusion and has no time to see him.
"Are you sure? System dad, do you want to confirm it again?"
Qiu Shui saw that the system was lying.
However, he did not expose the system.
He felt that it was not the system that stopped him from meeting the old man.
But the old man deliberately didn't see him.
Just like last time.
"Well, host, the old man is really in seclusion. Don't worry, when the old man comes out, this system will tell you. Or this system will ask him for you."
The system is helpless, it is clearly just a system.
As a system, it cannot lie.
However, the old man is a wife and has the qualifications to modify its program.
So, it had no choice but to listen to the old man.
But, doing so would be unfair to the host.
However, regarding what Qiu Shui said just now, that he had seen the old man when he was a child, the system still firmly believed that Qiu Shui must have made a mistake.
After all, the old man had passed away at that time.
Moreover, the old man became the wife not long after it was created by the main system.
So it is impossible to run into the real world to play chess with Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui took a deep look at the system, then nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, then let's do it next time. I want to take a break, System Dad, please block me."
"Okay. Don't worry, this system will never spy on your thoughts. Just go and rest in peace."
The system thought that Qiu Shui wanted it to block him because he wanted to do something intimate with Lou Yuchen.
Like kissing or something.
After all, those things are done by adults, and the small system is not yet an adult.
Not suitable for it to watch.
Therefore, every time Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen became closer, she would find a reason to block the system.
Therefore, the system consciously blocks itself.
Qiu Shui tried to call the system in his mind.
No response was received.
After confirming that the system had really blocked him, Qiu Shui immediately began to diffuse the thoughts in his mind.
He actually had doubts before, wondering if his memory was wrong.
That person was not the old man at that time.
But now, I feel guilty about seeing the old man and dare not see him.
Therefore, Qiu Shui has confirmed that the person at that time was the old man.
But if that's the case, then there's a problem.
Even if the old man was still alive at that time, he should have been gray-haired.
I will never be as young as I am now.
Moreover, the system's attitude towards the old man is also very strange. Seems to be very respectful to the old man.
Therefore, Qiu Shui began to have the same guess in his mind as before: Could the old man be the so-called main system?
The reason why the system bound him might be because of the old man's instruction.
After all, as the main system, it is not easy to let the small system bind to a host.
The more Qiu Shui thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
