When Zhu Tong and the others arrived, a dozen black and white stones had just fallen on the chessboard.
Mr. Chen was a chess fan, so he forced Fatty Han to have sex with him while he was waiting for dinner.
After Mr. Fan left, Mr. Chen had no opponent, but he and the gang of Xianyun Yehe invited by Zhu Tong were not at the same level of opponents, and they were killed every time they played.
Of course it makes you feel bad when you always lose when playing chess. Fatty Han used to be in his eyes at all, but recently he was roped in by Mr. Chen to play chess. He was really flattered.
The waiter served the dishes, and Zhu Tong introduced Wang Wenyuan to Mr. Chen.
Wang Wenyuan is very polite, especially for Mr. Chen, who founded China Asset Management, and his admiration is beyond words.
Mr. Chen also really likes young people like Wang Wenyuan. Although he knows that Wang Wenyuan is constantly causing trouble for Zhu Tong, he is still very pleased to see Wang Wenyuan.
"Young man, do you know how to play Go?" After greetings and sitting down, Mr. Chen took Wang Wenyuan's hand and sat on his right side, asking kindly.
"No, I used to be under a lot of pressure to study and didn't have much time. Now I'm even busier after work... But I really like watching people play chess," Wang Wenyuan said sheepishly.
"You have to learn something. Chinese people all need to learn something about Go. It represents the oldest philosophy of Chinese civilization. Especially for young people like you. Learning Go can cultivate the overall situation and don't talk about heroes one by one. All other chess in the world are like this." It is a life-and-death killing, with strict hierarchies and rules, but Go is the most free and the most equal, every chess piece is completely equal, and every move is reasonable. There are no princes or generals, and there is no distinction between officers and soldiers. On the chessboard , Black and white can even coexist peacefully, winning the world is also winning, winning half an eye is also winning, and the one who laughs to the end is the real master,"
"But I heard people say that Go is a dead game. Once the pieces fall, they cannot be moved." Wang Wenyuan heard that Mr. Chen was using the game to give him some advice, telling him not to always think about sending Zhu Tong to prison.
Mr. Chen explained patiently: "Young man, this is life. A man with no regrets. You can't take back any words you have said or anything you have done. Who can live without mistakes? Know how to tolerate and wait." Only those who can calmly assess the situation and find the best opportunity to win."
"I understand, Wen Yuan has learned a lesson," Wang Wenyuan poured a glass of wine for Mr. Chen, raised his hands and brought it to Mr. Chen; "Wen Yuan took the liberty, Mr. Chen gave me advice regardless of recklessness, and benefited a lot. Wen Yuan hopes that he can Get more teachings from you, old man,"
Mr. Chen happily took the wine glass and said: "I'm not talking about teaching, I'm not talking about pointers, I'm just talking about chess theory. I'm old, and I can only waste my time here playing chess, drinking wine, and sipping tea. Xiao Wang is very good. When he has free time, he can think of me, an old man, and come here to play a few games of chess with me."
Fatty Han stood up and joked: "Congratulations to Mr. Chen, you have many more disciples."
This obviously inappropriate remark made the atmosphere at the dinner table a bit awkward.
It is inappropriate to describe Mr. Chen and Wang Wenyuan as disciples. Although Mr. Chen still enjoys a considerable level of official treatment, because he founded China Fund, a free and unfettered non-governmental organization, he is already outside the system. Although Wang Wenyuan is a standard official law enforcement officer.
Zhu Tong winked at Fatty Han and told him not to talk nonsense. He smiled and said to Old Chen: "I heard another saying. Some people think that only those who have no faith, do not abide by the rules, and do not know the national culture of respect will be able to Producing something as lawless as Go,"
"It makes sense, it makes sense, it's the opinion of God's believers," Mr. Chen's expression became serious, he was silent for a moment, and said earnestly: "The Chinese nation can survive tenaciously to this day, in the final analysis, it is really thanks to 'lawlessness' These four words give us the courage to defy authority, resist bullying, and subvert injustice. We will not be constrained by dead morality and bad rules. They also give us the broad mind to absorb all kinds of nutrients. In our hearts There is no God, and all gods are hypocritical in our opinion. There have been more than one emperor who wanted to put shackles on our hearts, and some of them almost succeeded at the time; however, they all underestimated the peace flowing in the blood of the Chinese nation. The power and human power are ultimately limited. All the rules and ideas set by human beings, no matter how good their original wishes are, will inevitably become controlled by evil and become tools in the hands of some people when they develop to the extreme. , such as faith, such as kingship, such as Buddhism, such as Confucianism, such as Taoism; as well as Chinese medicine, Western medicine, law, education and today's interests and justice,"
Of course Fatty Han was confused when he heard it, and Wang Wenyuan was thoughtful. Although Mr. Chen's words also involved Zhu Tong, they had a strong shock in Wang Wenyuan's heart.
"But Mr. Chen, I can understand everything else, but the education issue..." Wang Wenyuan couldn't help but ask.
"This needs to be looked at from two aspects. On the one hand, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with education itself, but there are too many variables in what is taught in schools and how it is taught. On the other hand, not everyone is suitable for education. People are free beings. "Education has cultivated some abilities. At the same time, standard education has restricted the development and possibility of more abilities. It's just nonsense. Don't take it seriously. This topic ends here. Let's eat and drink."
Zhu Tong had other ideas. He drank a few glasses of wine and saw that Fatty Han was almost done eating. He said to him: "Go and take a look around. Don't let outsiders approach."
Fatty Han responded, wiped his mouth and sat down on a chair not far away.
Zhu Tong told Mr. Chen about his recent encounters with Ning Wudong and his wife, Boni and his young stepmother Mrs. Snell, and asked Mr. Chen for advice: "Mr. Chen, can you explain the reasons for this?"
"Haha, this is evil love, caused by greed in human nature. It can also be said to be sad and beautiful love. In different contexts, even if faced with the same rules, it will inevitably be interpreted into two completely different types. Meaning, they have the same premise, an old husband and a young wife, this is the key point. Of course, the apprentice and master wife will be accused of being treasonous, because they caused a terrible tragedy. The son and stepmother, the son chose to run away from home, and the father said to the outside world It is announced that her son died in an accident, and her stepmother's life will certainly not be easy. This kind of unethical love that violates social morality has huge power. The two people in front chose to elope. After the elopement, they broke free from the restrictions, and it would not be fun. Sooner or later Will they get tired of the latter pair... They are waiting for the day when Snell dies. Mr. Li, he is your patient now. I believe in your medical skills. If Mr. Snell suddenly recovers, they will see If we don’t have hope, we can’t bear it any longer. If we don’t get it right, this is also a tragedy.”
Wang Wenyuan knew about Ning Wudong's case and heard Zhu Tong talk about the internal affairs of the Snell family. At this time, he spoke: "It seems that a suspect will be added to the list."
"Mrs. Snell," Zhu Tong thought, does Mrs. Snell, who is more delicate than a flower, really have the courage to attack Mr. Snell?
"To solve this problem, two premises are needed. First, why was the relationship between the two of them discovered and who discovered it? Second, why did Mr. Snell choose to expel his son instead of divorce," Wang Wenyuan looked at Zhu Tong Dao; "Otherwise, there is no answer. Women are the strangest. They seem to be weak, and when they initiate hatred, everyone will be stunned."
"You seem to know women very well," Zhu Tong teased.
He looked at his watch. It was ten minutes to two o'clock. He stood up and said, "No more chatting. I have another appointment. I have agreed to meet Mrs. Snell and Lord Hamilton at three o'clock. By the way, if Officer Wang is interested, If so, come to me before two fifty,"
"Of course I'm interested. I heard that Mrs. Snell was once known as the Flower of Paris. No one would miss the opportunity to appreciate a beauty of this level up close. It's time to work, so I'd better go down and take a look first. Look," Wang Wenyuan stood up and said goodbye to Mr. Chen first.
"You..." Mr. Chen looked at Wang Wenyuan strangely, then at Zhu Tong, clasped his hands and laughed: "Wonderful, Mr. Li dared to hire Officer Wang, but Officer Wang also agreed. You two... are really a perfect match. ,"
"I don't think there's anything unusual at all. Officer Wang is an expert in this field. We have worked together before. He is familiar with the situation at Wanghai Hospital. I think it is normal to ask him to take charge of security work," Zhu Tong smiled. explain.
Wang Wenyuan continued: "The price offered by Boss Li is high enough. I think this time I can repay his life-saving grace. However, the price of 'Miracle Doctor Li Xiang' is really expensive. If it were not public expense, I would not be able to afford it." rise,"
"That's why it's wonderful," Mr. Chen pointed at the chessboard and said, "You two are just like the black and white pieces on this chessboard. You both have a chance to win. The loser should not cry."
Zhu Tong glanced at Mr. Chen with a half-smile, then took out a gold card and handed it to Wang Wenyuan: "Take this. With it, you can come to Mr. Chen to learn chess at any time."
Also this afternoon, in the mountainous area of western Sichuan, thousands of miles away from Shanghai, a middle-aged man with a thin face was kneeling under a huge yellow jujube tree, holding three black incense sticks in his hand and praying in a low voice.
It is said that the yellow oak tree can attract demons and ghosts. It is the natural cave of Wong Tai Sin. It has always been only planted in temples and ancestral halls.
This ancient yellow jujube tree with curved branches grew under a cliff facing the sun. Only the top of the tree poked out of the cliff to receive the gift of sunlight.
The grass around Qiuqu is desolate, and the strange rocks are scattered here and there; the five to six square meters of open space under the trees looks unusually neat.
The middle-aged man was kneeling in this open space, with a barrel filled with viscous yellow liquid in front of him, and countless wild bees buzzing up and down around him.
Some were leaning over the barrels to lick food, while others were surrounding him.
Each of those wild bees is about the size of the belly of a little finger, with black and yellow rings on their bodies. If you look closely, you will find that the patterns under the bellies of these wild bees are in the shape of grimaces. These wild bees are what makes nearby villagers smell it. The terrifying, extremely poisonous Grimace Wasp.
The yellow juju tree has been growing here for an unknown number of years. Its trunk is two meters in diameter at its widest point, and there is a tree hole as big as a bowl at a height of five or six meters above the ground.
The Grimace Bee flies in and out of this tree hole. The black incense stick is not odorless, and the fragrant mist is like a stick being pulled by an invisible force, floating into the tree hole in three straight lines.
Unlike other hives, the area around the tree hole is exceptionally clean and tidy, without any secretions.
In early autumn and September, through the mist, you can see the small mountain village at the bottom of the mountain hidden among the green trees from under the yellow oak trees.
After the middle-aged man finished praying, he took a few steps back and sat down on a square stone. He looked at the grimaces around him with a pleasant smile on his face.
