"Mr. Chu, won't you come back to Yanjing with me?" Zeng Xu asked quickly when he heard Chu Tianfeng's change of tone.
"Well, I have to visit a few friends and will return to Yanjing in two days." Chu Tianfeng said.
"Oh, haha, by the time you come back, maybe I will have solved all those cheats." Zeng Xu said confidently.
"I hope, thank you Mr. Zeng!" Chu Tianfeng stood up and shook hands with Zeng Xu warmly.
The next morning, Gu Xiao and Zeng Xu left San Francisco by plane and flew directly to Yanjing, China. After inviting this reinforcement, Chu Tianfeng believed that solving the game's cheating problem was just around the corner.
Shen Jinfei did not go with Gu Xiao, and Murphy also stayed with Chu Tianfeng.
"When are you going to see the general?" Chu Tianfeng asked Shen Jinfei.
"You can do it now!" Shen Jinfei smiled slightly, turned to Murphy and said, "Sister Murphy, you don't have to go, stay in the hotel and wait for news!"
"Can you do it alone? What if you meet Alice's people?" Murphy said worriedly.
"Don't worry, the general has made arrangements. This means that the devil is as high as the Taoist. San Francisco is the sphere of influence of our Red and Black Society. Can Alice cover the sky with her big hands?" Shen Jinfei sneered.
"You can't say that, don't forget, this is the world of Americans!" Murphy said sternly.
"You are wrong. The Chinatown area belongs to us Chinese." Shen Jinfei said tit for tat.
"You said that the General is going to meet Chu Tianfeng in Chinatown?" Murphy's pretty face showed surprise. In her impression, the General never left the General.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, Sister Murphy, I'll take him and leave first." Shen Jinfei said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself." Chu Tianfeng comforted Murphy, and then left the hotel with Shen Jinfei.
"The general really wants to meet me in Chinatown?" Chu Tianfeng asked as he walked.
"Yes, get in the car!" Shen Jinfei came to the street, waved, and a taxi drove quickly in front of him. After the two got in the car, they went straight to Chinatown.
There are about 100,000 overseas Chinese living in San Francisco's Chinatown. The entrance is at the south end of Grant Street. The gate is covered with green tiles and is full of Chinese elements. It is densely packed with shops and restaurants. The gorgeous facades attract tourists and citizens.
Of course, as the largest Chinese gathering area in the western United States, the situation here is also very complicated. It is precisely because of the complexity that the red and black societies have the soil to survive.
The taxi turned left and right and stopped at the entrance of an alley. Because the alley was too narrow for the car to drive in, and even if it drove in, it would be difficult to pick out, so it simply stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Shen Jinfei paid the fare and got out of the car with Chu Tianfeng.
This is the deepest and narrowest alley in Chinatown. There are many traditional shops, restaurants and old houses. From time to time, the aroma of sweet desserts wafts out of the alley.
Shen Jinfei led Chu Tianfeng into the depths of the alley, and finally stopped at the door of an old-fashioned house. There was a sign hanging on it with four flying Chinese characters: "Red and Black Chess Club."
Chu Tianfeng smiled faintly, Red and Black Chess Club? Is this the headquarters of the Red and Black Club? It is really amazing that a chess club has developed into a spy organization.
"Haha, we are home, the general is waiting for you inside." Shen Jinfei said with a smile.
Chu Tianfeng nodded and followed him into the red and black chess club, which was located deep in an alley and was very hidden.
In front of you is a small living room, the lights are dim and there is no one there, the atmosphere is somewhat eerie.
"Where is the general?" Chu Tianfeng asked Shen Jinfei beside him.
"Inside, follow me." Shen Jinfei said...
Chu Tianfeng followed him to a small room in the corner of the living room. The lights here were brighter, and a faint Tibetan fragrance floated over, refreshing.
There was a square sandalwood table in front of them. Two people were playing chess face to face. A man in a red robe had his back to Chu Tianfeng. The long shadow reflected on the ground was the mysterious president of the Red and Black Club. Codenamed General.
Sitting opposite the general was a man in black. He was thirty years old, with a ginger complexion and a thin and long build. Chu Tianfeng did not recognize him.
"General!" There was only a crisp sound, and the general's moves were extremely graceful, while the man in black opposite him broke out in cold sweat. After thinking for a long time with a frown on his face, he finally made a move.
Chu Tianfeng and Shen Jinfei stood at the door, quietly watching the two people playing chess. The general was already engrossed in the game, and it seemed that he didn't even hear anyone coming outside.
"Again!" The general's continuous attacks made the man in black unable to defend himself. In the end, another rook was taken away, and he had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Chu Tianfeng, are you here?" The general didn't even turn his head, he just turned his back to Chu Tianfeng and said in a deep voice.
"Well, I'm here." Chu Tianfeng said calmly.
The general waved his hand to the man in black, and the man stepped out wisely. Even Shen Jinfei disappeared. The general and Chu Tianfeng were the only two people left in the room.
Chu Tianfeng's nerves immediately became tense, but after less than ten seconds, he relaxed again. He knew that with his strength, he was no match for the general. If he wanted to kill him, it would be effortless. It's the same whether it's fortified or not, so it's better to just relax.
"Please take a seat!" The general said calmly, pointing to the vacant seat opposite the man in black.
"Thank you!" Chu Tianfeng was neither humble nor arrogant. He sat opposite him calmly. He looked at the general in front of him and saw that he was still wearing a mask similar to Peking Opera facial makeup, and did not reveal his true face in Lushan.
"When did you come?" The general's eyes exposed outside the mask revealed two sharp rays of light.
"I came yesterday." Chu Tianfeng said.
"Can you play chess?" the general asked in a deep voice.
"No, haha, even if I could, I'm not in the mood now." Chu Tianfeng said with a faint smile.
"Young man, it's not good to be so impatient." The general criticized tactfully.
"If it were you, you might not have a better temper than me." Chu Tianfeng said.
"Well said, when I was young, I was as impulsive as you." The general sighed and continued: "I have already paid the price for my impulsiveness."
"Really? What price did you pay?" Chu Tianfeng asked.
The general remained silent and did not answer his question. His eyes were fixed on the chessboard on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, the general's deep and deep voice rang out again: "Chu Tianfeng, do you know why I came to you today?".
"I don't know." Chu Tianfeng said bluntly.
"Haha, just to make you believe me!" the general said seriously.
"How can I make you believe me?" Chu Tianfeng asked.
"Follow me! I'll take you to see someone." After the general said these words, he suddenly stood up, his red robe swaying in strange arcs.
Chu Tianfeng also stood up after him, with the general in front and him behind. The two of them left the hut and walked directly to the backyard.
Passing through the backyard is a classical alley, with a small ancestral hall at the end housing a statue of Mr. Guan.
The general took Chu Tianfeng directly around to the back, turned around and slapped the statue on the back...
But when he heard the crisp sound of "click", Chu Tianfeng's heart trembled violently. When he looked closely, he saw a tunnel opening suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him. It was so dark and deep that he couldn't see the end at a glance.
"What is this place?"
"Haha, you'll know once you get in. I won't harm you." The general smiled lightly.
Chu Tianfeng knew that he was telling the truth, because with the current strength gap between the two men, the general had a hundred ways to kill him, and he had no room to fight back.
In order to reassure Chu Tianfeng, the general walked down first, followed closely by Chu Tianfeng, with steps made of cement beneath his feet.
After the two men's bodies were completely submerged into the tunnel entrance, the general suddenly turned around and patted the wall beside the tunnel entrance.
Hearing another crisp "click" sound, the tunnel entrance closed naturally. Chu Tianfeng muttered to himself: "This should be an underground secret passage controlled by the Red and Black Society, but I don't know where it leads.
Then he thought: "It's really strange. In the past, when dealing with the Red and Black Society, no matter where I went, I would have to cover my eyes with something for fear that I would leak the secret. But today, the general has no guard against me at all. Could it be that he really
no offence?"
"Chu Tianfeng, let's go!" The general suddenly grabbed his wrist, and the hand was clasped tightly like a pair of pliers. It was extremely difficult for Chu Tianfeng to move, so he could only follow him in the tunnel.
Galloping inside.
Because there are constant lights on the walls on both sides of the tunnel, the tunnel does not appear dark.
Chu Tianfeng looked around. The surrounding walls were covered with water drops, and the ground was very cold. There were no traces of hammering or axing. It could be seen that this tunnel had been built for many years.
The tunnel was very winding. The further Chu Tianfeng walked, the more shocked he became: "How much manpower and material resources does it cost to build such a long tunnel?"
The two of them walked for more than 20 minutes, going deeper and further, when gusts of cold wind hit their faces, making people feel a bone-chilling chill.
It was summer, but it was still as cold as winter underground. Chu Tianfeng was wearing thin clothes. Thanks to his good physical condition, he could barely resist the cold underground wind.
After walking for a while, he found that this place looked more and more familiar. He remembered that the last time he was caught by the Red and Black Society people in a secret experimental base, he was almost brainwashed. Could this be this place?
"Haha, do you recognize it? You have been to this place once before." The general's cold voice rang out.
"Come to think of it, are you going to do experiments on me again? That's a lot of words." Chu Tianfeng's heart shrank violently. The feeling of being shocked by electric shock was really too uncomfortable.
