Shao Qihan lowered his head, subconsciously playing with the black chess pieces held by his fingertips with his hands on the table.In front of him was a catalpa chessboard, on which two sons, black and white, were vying to kill each other, inseparable.

"Okay." The old man sitting cross-legged on the other side of the chessboard suddenly closed his eyes and said, "It's so-called silently sending hands to talk, and unintentionally attracting woodcutters. Since your mind is in a mess, why do you have to deal with me here?"

Shao Qihan threw the sunspots in his hand into the chess box, and said with a wry smile, "Grandpa, didn't you force me to play Go with you?"

Mr. Shao was indifferent to his little grandson's accusation, and he still closed his eyes as an old god, looking like an expert in the world. He stroked his white beard, which was neither long nor short, and said lightly: "There is a saying in the art of war, 'the more you win, the more you win. Less calculations are invincible.' Like a general, a chess player should use deep intentions and careful consideration, use power to control his opponents, and seek the reasons for his victory or defeat, do you understand?"

"..." Shao Qihan couldn't even laugh this time, he stared blankly at the endgame.

Mr. Shao didn't speak anymore, just closed his eyes and rested his mind.

For a while, there was no sound in the gazebo, but the wind in the courtyard moved the leaves, and the birds and insects sang.

After a while, Shao Qihan said with difficulty: "...Grandpa, I have to take action."

Hearing this, Old Master Shao opened his eyes and took a look at Shao Qihan.

"Grandpa, I won't talk nonsense. This time I... want to get back what I left here with Grandpa." Shao Qihan stared at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and said loudly: "Now father doesn't want to listen to my explanation. ...As for Shao Qizhai...I'm afraid he wants to get rid of me soon, I always have to fight for myself."

"You are fighting with your family." Mr. Shao said blankly, "Your elbow is a little bit out, isn't it?"

There was no expression on Shao Qihan's face either. His father and grandson sat face to face, looking like strangers talking.

"Grandpa, I have already told you very clearly." Shao Qihan said in a deep voice, "Since I am a descendant of the Shao family, I have the right to do so."

Mr. Shao was silent for a while, and then said: "Since you have made up your mind, it's up to you—I just want to say one thing, if you lose at that time, don't cry and beg me, an old man."

"...I've grown up, Grandpa." Shao Qihan looked up at his grandfather, he pursed his lips, his deep and cold eyes were covered with a thin layer of moisture, "He's right, I have to fight for myself Responsible--"

"—Grandpa, I fell in love with a man, you...don't you say anything?"

Old Master Shao got up suddenly, with his hands behind his back, he slowly walked out of the octagonal pavilion, Shao Qihan quickly got up and followed behind him step by step.

The old man walked along the path paved with stones, crossed the small bridge and rockery until he reached a deep pool, and then stopped. He looked down at the school of fish wandering carefree in the dark green water.

Although he didn't speak, Shao Qihan who was standing beside him seemed to understand something.

Zi Feiyu, know the joy of fish?

Shao Qihan suddenly felt sore in his heart.

He grew up so big, he basically didn't get any family affection from his father and brother, only when he faced this grandfather who was not very kind and had an extremely weird mind, he could still feel some love from his relatives.

His mother died because of his dystocia, and his father and elder brother treated him coldly, but his grandfather took him to his secluded place from time to time. Although the old man was lonely and wanted a grandson to play with him, the pair were still ignorant children at the time. For him, it has a great impact.

Shao Qihan now looking back and thinking about it, he has not grown crooked until now, thanks to his grandfather and Murong Jiu.

Even later, my grandfather became less and less willing to pay attention to ordinary things, and the number of times I saw him was only once or twice a year, but some kind of silent education from my grandfather has always influenced his growth.

And now, grandfather treats him so tolerantly...

Shao Qihan was nostalgic for the past and the present, and almost did not immediately shed tears of emotion.

"...What did I say?" Old Master Shao said suddenly, the bitterness in his old voice made Shao Qihan's heart tremble.

"What can I say? Didn't you already say—you've grown up?" Mr. Shao turned around and stared at Shao Qihan with squinted eyes. "That kid from Murong's family can see much more clearly than you."

Shao Qihan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He felt that he was as small as a speck of dust in the old man's clear eyes.

"'Inferiority', 'I don't know what I really want'?" Mr. Shao chuckled, "You're really promising, and you're coaxing the Murong family around?"

Shao Qihan's face slowly turned red. These days, he tried his best to avoid the words of confession and analysis that he thought of being uttered by the old man all at once, which made him want to jump directly into the pool—it was so embarrassing!

Seeing his grandson's embarrassment, Mr. Shao smiled again with an unfathomable expression, and patted Shao Qihan's shoulder with his hands.

"I didn't expect that, my grandson—hehehe." Before he finished speaking, Mr. Shao put his hands behind his back again, walked past Shao Qihan with a swagger and a smile.

Shao Qihan stood in place and looked at the back of Mr. Shao, with shyness, embarrassment, doubt and other expressions intertwined on his face. The weird expression almost made his appearance drop a notch all at once.

With this complicated mood that could make him lose his face, Shao Qihan bid farewell to Mr. Shao who ignored him and concentrated on sitting in meditation, and hurriedly set foot on the way home.

Shao Qihan got into the taxi waiting on the winding road on the mountainside, thought for a while, took out his cell phone and made a call.

The phone was connected quickly, and Ouyang Yi's frizzy and excited voice came from the receiver.

"Old Shao, hahahahaha, will you come to a good show?!"

Listening to the other party's nonsense, Shao Qihan couldn't help stretching out two fingers to pinch the furrowed eyebrows, and asked, "What makes you so excited?"

"Haha——eh? You forgot?" Ouyang Yi suddenly stopped laughing, and asked Shao Qihan angrily: "Today is the trial of Bai's case! You actually forgot? Please, this is my pride." Do it!"

Ouyang Yi's words are not wrong, the so-called Bai's case is indeed his proud work - almost all of it was exposed by him jumping up and down!

The so-called Bai's case is the collective name of several important cases such as Bai Kaitai's death case, Bai's illegal fund-raising case, and Bai's equity trading case. All the evidence points to Bai's brother and illegitimate daughter, Bai Huanjun.

On the surface, it was Bai Qi who came forward to sue the two uncles and Bai Huanjun for intentional murder, which led to the emergence of this series of cases of the Bai family. In fact, Bai Qi was just a person at the front desk, who was really pushing behind It was Shao Qihan who had nothing to do with the Bai family, and Ouyang Yi was the one who picked up the carrion for the Bai family.

Ouyang Yi's strength is really astonishing.

Even Shao Qihan didn't fully understand how Ouyang Yi collected the evidence, and how he got the witnesses to testify.

Shao Qihan listened to Ouyang Yi chattering about his great achievements, and felt that the other party was a little too concerned about this matter, so he forcibly interrupted Ouyang Yi's speech, and said in a low voice: "A Yi, you were not uninterested in this matter before. ?"

Ouyang Yi seemed to be strangled by the neck, and his voice stopped abruptly. It was not until Shao Qihan was almost impatient that he said coyly: "Isn't that the thing before I didn't see him~"

Shao Qihan was chilled by the other party's "Is it~" with the ending sound.

"Have you taken a fancy to Bai Qi?"

"Oh—don't talk nonsense, the horoscope hasn't been written yet."

"...All right, come on...I won't go to the court trial, you keep an eye on Mr. Bai Huan." Shao Qihan returned to his normal state, his voice lowered, "Have you found Chu Xu yet?"

"Hey - that guy's nose is sharper than a dog's. If something happens to the Bai family, he doesn't know where to hide." Ouyang Yi said with a sneer, "But old Shao, don't worry, his hands and feet are not clean, and I have already caught his tail." I'm not afraid that he won't come out."

"Okay, then Ah Yi, you can do your work first." Shao Qihan glanced at the familiar street outside the window, and hung up the phone after Ouyang Yi finished saying "see you later".
