Game within game: chess player

This Xu Ruxue is the real Xu Ruxue, Sister Xia's daughter.

On Christmas Eve, after receiving a tip from Zhao Ning, Ye Fang sent Lu Jiuge to lead people into the American-owned printing company. It was not easy for special operators like Lu Jiuge to infiltrate a private organization.

As a result, Xu Ruxue, who had been imprisoned for several months, was found in a room on the ground floor of the printing company. Due to the fright and being imprisoned for too long, Xu Ruxue was in a trance and even a little abnormal. Ye Fang placed Xu Ruxue in Xiyuan and asked a doctor to take care of her. After Su Yue arrived, he asked Lan Lu to accompany her. On the one hand, he would prevent Xu Ruxue from committing suicide or other thoughts. On the other hand, he was also worried that Xu Ruxue would run out and be raped by MK Company. Discover.

The MK company soon discovered that Xu Ruxue was missing. Although they didn’t know how Xu Ruxue ran out, they could guess that someone must have intervened. However, it was difficult for Miranda to call the police on this kind of thing, so she could only investigate it secretly by herself. , and the biggest suspect is naturally Ye Fang's Xiyuan.

However, Miranda did not want to provoke Ye Fang and Xiyuan in a big way for a useless chess piece. To her, Xu Ruxue was already a loser.

"Brother Ye, can you accompany me to see my mother after the holiday? I miss her." Xu Ruxue saw Ye Fang say a rare word.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together after the festival."

"Thank you!" Xu Ruxue said softly.

The Xu Ruxue in front of her looked like Xiaojiabiyu, and she seemed to be a very well-behaved girl. However, she did not expect to suffer such a disaster. The root cause was traced back to Ye Fang, so Ye Fang felt a little guilty when he saw Xu Ruxue's appearance.

"Today is the Chinese New Year. There are people at home. It's very lively. Come with me for a walk in the yard." Ye Fang said.

Xu Ruxue bit her lip and seemed hesitant. She had been in this small room for more than a month. Now she seemed to be afraid of the outside world. The huge psychological trauma caused by being detained could not be healed in a short time. .

"Okay, I want to take a shower before going." Xu Ruxue whispered.

"Okay, I'll ask Lan Lu to find a change of clothes for you." As soon as Ye Fang finished speaking, he heard Su Long's voice coming from outside.

"Brother Ye, the third uncle in the front yard is looking for you." After saying this, Su Long opened the door and walked in. At a glance, he saw Xu Ruxue who was a little panicked when a stranger broke in on the bed.

"Oh... I'm sorry! I didn't know there was anyone else." Su Long quickly apologized.

"It's okay, let me introduce you..." Then Ye Fang introduced Xu Ruxue to Su Long, and also told Xu Ruxue that Su Long and Sister Xia had also met before. Su Long didn't know what happened to Xu Ruxue, so he walked up to Xu Ruxue generously, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Su Long, and I am now a naval officer!"

Lan Lu was about to step forward to remind Su Long but was stopped by Ye Fang's look. Xu Ruxue's pretty face turned red and she took the initiative to reach out and shake Su Long's hand, then quickly took it back and whispered, "Hello. "

Ye Fang's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he said deliberately, "You and Su Long are here. Come over together after Xiaoxue has packed up. I'll go over first." After saying that, Ye Fang turned around and walked out without waiting for Su Long to agree. Ignoring Sulong's shouts from behind.

When I arrived at the Qianyuan, I saw children having a snowball fight under the ginkgo tree. The older generation was drinking tea through the windows on the second floor of the Qianyuan and watching the children playing outside. Ma Zhengping saw When Ye Fang walked into the Qianyuan, he waved to him. Ye Fang responded and walked quickly towards the second floor.

"You, the master, are a little rude. You made us old guys wait for so long. Tell me! Did you hide today's wine? Let me tell you, we are here to eat rich people today. If you dare to hide it, "Sir, we won't spare you!" The old man of the Hai family pretended to be angry when he saw Ye Fang walking in.

Ye Fang quickly apologized and said, "Grandpas, please forgive me. I'm still frightened by the scene when you were carried away from me after drinking too much. Today you can drink, but only one bottle at most!"

"One bottle?! One bottle for each person?" Mr. Ma asked with a frown.

"What's one bottle for each person?! One bottle for both of you!" Ye Fang said.

"No! At least one bottle per person!" Mr. Hai quit immediately and replied in a rogue manner.

At this time, Ma Zhengping and Hai Wenshan looked at each other, a little helpless. Their two fathers came together and would never go home if they didn't drink to the fullest. Both of them wanted to stop them but were afraid of being scolded. After all, they were together. Where are the people in the house?

The two people quickly winked at Ye Fang. At this time, Ye Fang was the only one who could suppress the two old men. He saw Ye Fang wave his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I don't want to have a drinking lawsuit with you during the Chinese New Year. At most, One and a half bottles! If you don't agree, there won't be one bottle. If you want to go home and drink, you can go home and drink. Xiyuan won't accept you!"

"You brat, are you giving us an eviction order?!" Mr. Hai raised his eyebrows, showing his own majesty.

At this time, Mr. Ma suddenly said, "Ye Fang, if Old Man Hai doesn't agree, you can let him go, and then give me all the bottle, okay?"

"Old man Ma, you know how to settle accounts! I won't leave! A bottle and a half is a bottle and a half! You can't take advantage of me!" Mr. Hai said loudly.

"Okay! Just one and a half bottles! We agreed that if you two steal wine again, there won't be a glass of wine left next time," Ye Fang said.

The two old men nodded reluctantly and agreed.

"Come, drink tea! Eat melon seeds!"

Zhang Xiuying brought tea, melon seeds, and fruits. Everyone sat around the round table and chatted. Sitting at the round table were the elderly people from the Haima family, Ma Zhengping, Haiwenshan, Ye Youxin, Haidong, and Ye Fang. There were Zhang Xiuying and Ma Zhengping's wives, and the rest of the younger generation were sitting in the back chatting and laughing. Everyone was chatting about last year's harvest and next year's plans. The whole room had a peaceful atmosphere.

The people at the round table were chatting about things at the top, and they heard old man Hai Ziqinghai ask in a low voice, "Ye Fang, did you go to Xiaotangshan to see his old man yesterday?"

Ye Fang nodded and said, "I saw you. We had a good chat. I also brought a few pots of flowers back with me."

Mr. Hai was dumbfounded when he heard that Ye Fangshun had taken away several pots of flowers. Some of his flowers were gifts from foreign guests over the years, as well as orphans collected from visits to various countries or inspections in various parts of the country. Ordinary people thought it was nothing, but to him, every pot was a treasure. It was extremely precious, but I didn’t expect that Ye Fang would receive several pots at once.

However, the two old people in Haima knew that if they could let Ye Fangshun take away a few pots of flowers, it would prove that the two of them had a good conversation.

"Whether it succeeds or not, there should be news after the first lunar month at the latest." Mr. Hai sighed.

"Maybe it won't be that late." Mr. Ma added.

Mr. Hai nodded in agreement, but said nothing.

Haidong on the side was a little puzzled and interjected, "Grandpa, what riddles are you playing? Why can't I understand!"

Mr. Hai turned back and glared at Haidong, snorted coldly, "Just be your police chief. You don't understand political things! In the future, having more contact with Ye Fang will help you grow faster."

Haidong laughed, hugged Ye Fang and said, "We always drink together, so we must keep in touch. Don't worry."

Now Haidong is good enough, but Mr. Hai is still worried. Even if Haidong's current status is high enough, Mr. Hai said to Ye Fang, "Ye Fang, we old guys will go there sooner or later." To meet Marx, you two brothers must help each other."

"Old man, you are in good health. Just look forward to holding your grandson." Ye Fang said with a smile.

"If he has your ability, I won't worry. Let's leave Haidong's life-long affairs to you. Whether this matter can be solved depends on whether your brother is qualified for the job." Haidong directly said This important matter was handed over to Ye Fang. Ye Fang frowned and thought to himself, OK, I got a big job for myself during the Chinese New Year.

The New Year celebrations are lively when there are many people. Five tables were set up in the entire courtyard at once, and the entire courtyard was filled with the laughter of children and the high-pitched conversations among adults. Ye Fang noticed that Su Long and Xu Ruxue were sitting carefully in a corner. A smile that had not been seen for a long time appeared on Xu Ruxue's face. Su Long seemed to be taking good care of Xu Ruxue.

At this time, Lan Lu walked up to Ye Fang and whispered, "Boss, I think Brother Long and Xiaoxue seem to be having fun."

Ye Fang nodded with satisfaction and said, "The fastest way for someone to forget an unpleasant experience is to help her find a happier path and let her go on it. It seems that Xiaoxue has found it. Let everything take its course."

The whole banquet lasted until dark. The two old men from Haima drank to their heart's content and were a little tipsy. They left Xiyuan with the help of Hai Wenshan and Ma Zhengping.

The whole Xiyuan returned to calm. Both adults and children were exhausted after a day of commotion. Yanyan pestered Nan Yi to sleep together, and Su Yue was pulled to sleep by Ye Yongsi again. As a result, Ye Fang was left alone. In the inner courtyard.

"Boss, let me go and clean up the study for you." Miyagi stood behind Ye Fang and whispered.

Ye Fang waved his hand and said, "No, you can go and rest. I can do it myself."

Miyagi watched Ye Fang walk into the study and then went back to his room to rest.

Although it was already late at night, the firecrackers outside the yard were still ringing sporadically. Ye Fang was reading a book in the room when his cell phone suddenly rang.

Ye Fang didn't recognize the caller number when he saw it, but he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Hello, Ye Fang? I'm Li Xiaoxiong!"

Li Xiaoxiong? ! Ye Fang's heart immediately tightened when he heard the name.

"Hello, I'm Ye Fang." Ye Fang knew that Li Xiaoxiong would definitely not call him for no reason. It was probably Mr. W who was looking for him. Sure enough, just as Ye Fang guessed, Li Xiaoxiong said next, "Is it convenient for you to come out now? We are at the entrance of Xiyuan."

At the entrance of Xiyuan? ! Ye Fang quickly replied, "Please, I'll be out right away."

Ye Fang didn't have time to dress up, so he put on his coat and walked out of the room. As soon as he walked out of the inner courtyard, he met Miyagi. Ye Fang didn't know if Miyagi had installed any surveillance system in his room, why Miyagi would appear in front of him as soon as he moved.

"Boss, is something wrong?"

"Follow me and don't alert anyone!"

Then Miyagi walked towards the gate of Xiyuan behind Ye Fang. When he arrived at the gate of Xiyuan, Miyagi found from the surveillance camera that a black red flag car was parked on the roadside, with many people in black standing around, looking nervous. Looking around.

Ye Fang asked Miyagi to wait inside the door while he opened the door and walked out.

At this time, I saw a person getting out of the car, it was Li Xiaoxiong. Li Xiaoxiong opened the back door for Ye Fang and motioned for Ye Fang to go in. In today's China, there is only one person who can let Li Xiaoxiong open the door himself. Ye Fang nodded politely to Li Xiaoxiong, and then got into the car.

At this time, Li Xiaoxiong and the driver were all standing around the vehicle. No one came close to the vehicle. Naturally, they did not know what the two people in the vehicle were talking about.

"Xiaoye, have a great New Year!" Mr. W was sitting aside and looking at Ye Fang with a smile.

"Happy New Year." Even though it was the third time he saw Mr. W, Ye Fang still felt a little nervous.

A few words of greetings had already relieved Ye Fang's nervousness, and then they naturally started talking about Ye Fang's meeting yesterday. Ye Fangyuan told the old man in front of him the contents of yesterday's meeting. Mr. W kept nodding his head and then asked, "Do you feel optimistic?"

It's really hard for Ye Fang to answer this question. He said he was optimistic. If it didn't work out, wouldn't it mean that he had to take over everything? If it is not optimistic and does not seem to be consistent with the situation of the meeting, according to the speculation of the two old men in Haima this afternoon, there should be something to play. However, Ye Fang still does not have a good grasp of how to answer this question.

Only then did Ye Fang understand why the ancient kings and ministers were in a state of knowledge. Now Ye Fang admires the sophisticated response and reply skills of the eunuchs in the ancient palace.

Perhaps seeing the hesitation in Ye Fang's eyes, the old man smiled and said, "Just say whatever you think. If you say something wrong, I won't blame you."

"I feel quite optimistic. By the way, I gave him several pots of flowers when I came back," Ye Fang said.

"How many pots of flowers did you give him?!" The old man was slightly stunned, then pointed at Ye Fang and laughed.

Li Xiaoxiong outside the car couldn't help but look back when he heard the laughter coming from the car, with a smile on his lips. However, the guards around him were not disturbed at all and continued to stare at the surroundings.

"I'm sure he will ask you for it back in two days." The old man said firmly.

"No way. How can such a big leader care about a child like me?" Ye Fang was a little unconvinced.

"Those flowers are his precious flowers. He won't trust you to raise them. Let's wait and see." Old Man W said with a smile.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Fang got out of the car. Li Xiaoxiong nodded to Ye Fang and said, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Ye Fang replied, and then watched the black Hongqi car disappear into the night...
