[Soul of Chess] What if

Seeing his own reaction, Zhengfu smiled slightly: "It seems that you already have the answer in your heart."

"Clearly knowing that the worst situation may happen, but pretending to be ignorant. After I pointed out that the implementation of this plan would have adverse effects on Sai, he not only did not admit it frankly, but tried his best to cover it up. To downplay the severity of the matter and make it seem less serious."

"It is precisely because of this that I am convinced that Mr. Ogata is not ignorant of this, but deliberately concealed it. As for the reasons for his concealment, I don't think I need to elaborate."

Aang nodded silently.

Why did Mr. Ogata hide it? He knew it very well without his father telling him.Mr. Ogata did this to make them underestimate the seriousness of the matter, and thus easily agree to Kiin borrowing Sai's name.

Knowing that there will be such a bad consequence, he tried his best to get Sai to agree, obviously intending to push him to the forefront without Zuo Wei's knowledge.

No wonder Dad said Zuo Wei was set up as a 'scapegoat' from the very beginning, isn't it?Obviously did nothing, but had to bear all the responsibilities in a daze, this title is really appropriate!

"How could they do this? Doesn't Sai look so easy to bully?!" Ah Guang only felt that his chest was very depressed, which made his tone unconsciously tinged with hostility.

Dad didn't say anything about his gaffe, but responded calmly, "I think that's why they did it."

"Why do you say that?" Ah Guang couldn't help frowning.

"If I'm not wrong, Mr. Ogata and the others should know about Sai's physical condition." Dad explained slowly, "Sai's physical condition makes him only able to play chess online, and if there is no negotiation from the chess academy, It is very difficult for sai to have the opportunity to play against chess players from all over the world on formal occasions. Because his strength is too terrifying."

"As long as he plays, No.1 will definitely be his, and the benefits that other people can share will also be greatly reduced. People are more realistic and realize that their own interests may be damaged. Except for a very small number of people, I think it is impossible for most of them to welcome the addition of sai. There is no way to meet the needs of sai in informal games that are similar to playing games."

"It is precisely because they know that Sai has no way to leave the chess academy, so they are so confident."

Ah Guang listened to his father's explanation in a daze.

Mr. Ogata and the others know Zuowei's physical condition?How do they know?

Oh, I remembered, Zuo Wei's physical condition was revealed by himself, he told Mr. Ogata that Zuo Wei couldn't touch the chess pieces like ordinary people.

So, Zuo Wei was treated like this, in fact, it was all thanks to him?

"...Don't they think it's too cruel to do this?" Ah Guang gritted his teeth and asked with some difficulty.

"Indeed, for Sai, such an approach is too cruel. But for Qiyuan, this is the best choice."

Dad calmly analyzed: "Even if the worst happens, as long as Sai is pushed out and the irrational crowd is guided a little bit, Qiyuan will be able to get out of the incident smoothly. Regardless of the outcome of this struggle, both sides will lose Whether one dies or one is injured, the Chess Academy can achieve its own goal of innovation while retaining its strength."

"Because, after this battle, the power of the conservatives is bound to be greatly weakened. In this way, the Chess Academy will encounter much less resistance when they implement the New Deal. When those people finally regain their strength, they will It's too late too."

"Although doing so will seriously hurt Sai, Sai will not leave the Chess Academy because of this. That is to say, this plan will not only cause no real loss to the Chess Academy, but also successfully eliminate moths to achieve innovation. From this point of view, this It is indeed the best choice.”

"...Damn it!" Ah Guang thumped the table heavily, his body trembling with anger, "What's the best choice? This is obviously deceiving too much!"

Although he knew that his father had his own reasons, he still couldn't help asking: "Dad, since you know their purpose, why didn't you just have a showdown with Mr. Ogata? Why do you have to compromise with those people? Why don't you directly refuse the competition?" Is it all right?!"

"Ah Guang, calm down." Masao stood up and pressed Ah Guang's shoulders, "Although I could have directly refused just now, it is very likely that Sai will lose his foothold in the chess world now. How strong is Sai? Like playing chess, I think you should know better than anyone."

"Also, is it really okay to make such a choice without asking Sai?"

"..." Ah Guang opened his mouth, but remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that he fell silent, Dad sighed softly: "I know Sai is very important to you, and he is too important to allow him to suffer any harm. However, I don't want you to use the excuse of 'this is for your own good', Make any decisions on his behalf. Because no matter how close the relationship is, it is still impossible to fully understand the other party's thoughts."

"The answer I made just now was actually just to delay time, so that you can fully convey the matter to Sai. The reason why I am now analyzing Mr. Ogata's real intentions with you is to let you Sai can make his own choices without being deceived. On the other hand, he wants you to realize what kind of object you are facing. Because of what you said before, I hope Sai can play chess without hesitation. "

I hope Sai doesn't have any worries about playing chess...

Yes, I did say that.

However, if it weren't for my father's analysis today, I wouldn't be able to detect the other party's real purpose at all.How can such a self help Zuo Wei to avoid being hurt?Thinking of this, Ah Guang couldn't help but feel sad.

Zhengfu rubbed Ah Guang's drooping head, and said in a calm tone: "It is inevitable to be angry when seeing a friend being treated like this. However, if you are not strong enough to resist it, that is Quite irrational, even suicidal."

"Although I don't know what choice Sai will make, but until he grows up enough to leave the chess academy, even if he is dissatisfied, I hope you can continue to endure."

"Could it be that they can only be beaten passively?" Ah Guang asked sullenly.

"Yes." After finishing speaking, Dad added, "However, this is only temporary."

"Patience does not mean giving up resistance, but a way to accumulate strength for future counterattacks. In the process of endurance, I hope you can carefully observe everything around you with your eyes wide open like today, and use your mind to carefully analyze and collect From the information I have received, I will filter out the intelligence that is beneficial to me, and then make the most appropriate choice. Before the day of counterattack comes, protect yourself as much as possible and minimize the loss. This is what I will leave you to listen to me and The most important reason why Mr. Ogata talked."

"Besides Mr. Ogata, you may encounter more or even more dangerous opponents in the future. Even so, do you still decide to stand in front of Sai?" Masao asked, looking straight at Aguang.

After hesitating for a while, Aguang finally nodded seriously: "...Well. Sai is a very special existence to me. Although I know how weak I am, I have no way to leave him alone. "

"I understand." Dad said with a sigh, and then said solemnly, "Then, Xiaoguang, please learn to be patient. Don't let your reason be controlled by anger, but turn it into a driving force to move forward. While enduring, I will try my best to accumulate strength until I become strong enough."

"Of course, I will always be by your side until you grow up enough to be on your own. After all, I was also implicated in it."

After speaking, he took out a box from his bag and handed it to Ah Guang.
