Chapter 697: I Want to Take Back My Move

Hearing someone knocking on the car window, the PLA soldier opened the window and took a glance. He immediately jumped out of the car and saluted the person who came. 。Please use this website.In the office of the National Bureau of Statistics.

Ye Fan sat on the master's chair, swaying back and forth. There was a cup of fragrant and sweet Pu-erh tea already brewed on his right hand side. Facing him sat an old man with his eyebrows furrowed into a "川" character. He held a chess piece in his hand, looking at the chessboard before him, seeming hesitant and unsure what to do next.

"Hey, old man, I've already had two big cups of tea, and you still haven't figured out your next move" Ye Fan said impatiently, holding his head in his hands.

He Jianhou, with the demeanor of an elder, earnestly instructed: "Young people need to be patient and composed. This chessboard is like life, and the chess pieces are like every turning point in your life. Of course, you have to think carefully before making a move, otherwise, one wrong step can lead to defeat."

He Jianhou spoke earnestly, looking at Ye Fan with a look of frustration.

"But, you've been thinking about this move for half an hour!" Ye Fan shouted as he stood up.

"Okay, okay, I can't bring it down anymore!" In the end, He Jianhou still decided to place this cannon in the middle grid.

Ye Fan truly received Ye Wudao's true teachings. After playing three games against him, he lost every single one. They were crushing defeats, leaving him with nothing but a lone general on the board. Thinking about this, He Jianhou felt his teeth itching with anger. This kid, Ye Fan, was too ruthless! He clearly had many opportunities to win, yet he deliberately chose not to, instead setting up beautiful traps that lured him in, then systematically devoured his pieces one by one. This kid didn't even give him any face!

Thus, by the time they reached the fourth round, He Jianhou was forced to change his strategy. Every move he made, he had to consider if it was a trap deliberately set by Ye Fan. Only after carefully considering and ensuring there were no flaws would he make another move. Although this process might take some time, it was better to be safe than sorry!

"Have you made up your mind" Ye Fan smiled and said to He Jianhou after they settled the bet.

He Jianhou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this move was deliberately set up by Ye Fan as a trap But there was no reason, he couldn't see through it at all!

Seeing Ye Fan's sinister smile, Xiu Jian suddenly realized that this little devil was definitely bluffing and intentionally messing with his thoughts. He wouldn't fall for it!

Then He Jianhou loudly declared, "I've made up my mind!"

"Then I won't be polite!" Ye Fan fired back with a retort, countering He Jianhou's previous attack.

"Ouch! How did I miss that Doesn't count, doesn't count, let's do it again!" He Jianhou shouted loudly.

"A true gentleman never regrets his every move. Old man, you can't back out now!"

"I will not be a gentleman, I want to withdraw!"

"You can't go back!"

I want to go back!

……

Two people were arguing heatedly, drawing a chorus of disapproval from onlookers outside the police station.

Police Officer A: "The Chief is truly a genius! He used chess to break down the suspect's psychological defenses during interrogation. That's brilliant!"

"That's obvious, isn't it Otherwise, how would he become the Chief of Police while you're just a lowly soldier"

……

When it comes to chess, Ye Fan was actually quite terrible. Ever since he played against Old Wei last time, he unconsciously remembered some patterns. In addition, the old man had lived at Lake Yuxin for three days a few days ago and gave him pointers for three days. Ye Fan is a smart person, and he grasped it immediately. He learned quickly and deeply, and could even apply what he learned to different situations. It can be said that he has just entered the world of chess.

While I can't compare to the masters, I easily beat average players. He Jianhou falls into that category of average player.

Therefore, Ye Fan easily leaped over him.

"Alright, old friend, I've played my move, and had my tea. I should be going now." Ye Fan placed a "chariot" piece next to He Jianhou's "general," securing his victory beforehand.

“Huh” He Jianhou clearly didn't expect Ye Fan to play his cards so fiercely, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

"Young people should not be too ostentatious. If they press step by step and don't give others a chance, be careful that in the end, when someone is desperate, they will jump over the wall and fight you to the death, ending up with both parties destroyed!"

Ye Fan was stunned, "How do you say that I could clearly win. Should I deliberately lose to you"

He Jianhou's eyes twinkled with a cunning light, and he slyly said: "Perhaps you think you can win, but what if the other side doesn't play by the rules For example, like this!" He Jianhou used his "general" to immediately capture Ye Fan's "chariot"!

Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded. This step of the handsome position was clearly a dead end, how could he still go on like this

"Do you even know how to play chess This general is dead!" Ye Fan said indignantly.

He Jianhou burst into laughter, “People always say that life is like chess, and chess is like life. Chess has rules that determine the winner and loser, and so does life. It also has its own set of rules. But chess is chess, and life is life. Until the very end, you can’t say for sure who wins or loses. The rules are also made by humans! That’s the wisdom of valuing a piece while ensuring the overall victory!”

Ye Fan seemed thoughtful, unexpectedly seizing the opportunity today to have this old fellow give him a lesson.

"These days, in your confrontation with the Yan family, it seems like you've been winning every step of the way, as if you've already secured victory. But do you know, in reality, you've already placed yourself in a position from which there is no escape!" He Jianhou suddenly changed his tone and looked straight at Ye Fan.

Could this old geezer have seen something The old man said he had a close relationship with the head of the Imperial Bureau. This old guy is slick, he's well-connected in both military and political circles, and he gets along with everyone, both black and white. That's why while all his contemporaries have retired from their positions, he has risen from being a deputy director to the head of the Imperial Bureau. There must be something to it, right His unique insights and foresight into the development of the situation are undeniable!

Ye Fan suddenly understood that Old He wanted to play chess with him, but his true intention was probably mainly to say these words to himself

This old crook! Ye Fan cursed inwardly, but he also knew this was He Jianhou's goodwill. No matter what, he couldn't disappoint his kindness...

"They want to get rid of me They probably won't make it that easy. I'm not just fish on a chopping board!" Ye Fan's expression turned serious this time.

"You little rascal, why won't you listen to me Maybe you are strong, but remember that there are people beyond people and mountains higher than mountains. You're going to suffer a huge loss if you keep this up!"

Then, let that celestial being come out! I'll beat him into a pig's head and be done with it!

"You little rascal, how can you be so stubborn You're just like your grandfather. He was forced to leave Beijing because he made too many enemies back then. Do you want to repeat his mistakes!" He Jianhou exclaimed excitedly. no such powerful constant support anymore. 。After witnessing the combat strength of the Kunka army that day, Ye Fan was even more certain that in the future, he would have to use his troops more ofte...
