The strategy failed, she came back holding the bottle

Chapter 244 Imprisoned

Why did the old man tie them up?

"He has no good intentions." Jiang Zhi stood in front of Man Yue the entire time, guarding against everything around him, and whispered in Man Yue's ear: "My guess is that this old man is probably using us to threaten Jiang Feng to give up his position to his other grandsons."

"Tell me, they're both your biological children, so why is there such a huge difference between them? You're so biased."

Man Yue: "Maybe he doesn't like his eldest son."

Jiang Zhi: "So, when children don't get along, it's usually because the elders lack virtue. This old man lacks great virtue. Man Yue, have you seen him? What does he look like?"

"Asshole."

A majestic and turbid voice came over, and a rough voice walked towards this side, swung the crutch and hit Jiang Zhi on the back.

Snapped!

Jiang Zhi was beaten so hard that he cried out, "You old man, why are you hitting people like that? Who are you? How can you not have any manners?"

Man Yue: "He is the wicked old man you mentioned."

Jiang Zhi suddenly shut up, scratched his head, and looked at the old man who had just hit him with a stick.

He was not at all amiable, nor did he have the dignity of an ordinary elder. He was rough and serious, with a scar on his face. His eyes showed a kind of determination and a hint of murderous intent, which made him think of a word in an instant... bandit, or a leader, the kind who would kill people.

He was a promising young man who was about to graduate from university and join the company to take over his father's job. He had never seen much darkness, and when he saw the murderous aura of the old man in front of him, he felt apprehensive and frightened.

"Ahem, I was just saying this casually. Is there something you want us to come over for?"

Faced with his sudden change of attitude, the old man sneered, but looked at Man Yue: "It's okay, I just asked you to talk to me, an old widower."

"You." He pointed at her: "Come and play chess with me."

After saying that, he slowly walked up the stairs.

Jiang Zhi: "Isn't today his birthday party? Why doesn't he show up and play chess?"

It was called a birthday party, but it was just a showdown between his grandsons. What difference did it make whether he went or not? He might as well just wait for the result. No matter who won, it didn't matter that he was his grandson.

And why did he ask Jiang Zhi and Man Yue to come here? Man Yue still hadn't figured it out.

"Miss Jiang, please come this way!"

The servant in front motioned for her to follow.

Jiang Zhi: "I'll go with you. If he dares to touch you, I'll fight him to the death."

Man Yue: "Not yet. Besides, even if they want to do something, you probably won't have a chance even if you fight hard."

"........"

The two were taken into a solemn study. Judging from the layout of the house, it was probably the old man's permanent residence.

There was a chessboard in front of the blinds. Man Yue took a look and saw that it was a chess board.

There was cut fruit and brewed tea on the table.

The old man waved to the person who brought them in and asked him to go out and close the door.

"bring it on!"

Man Yue: "I'm not very good at chess."

Jiang Zuojing: "It's just for fun. If you win, I'll let you go."

Man Yue took off her coat and slowly sat down opposite him: "What if I lose?"

"Then let this man be shot."

The old man pointed at Jiang Zhi from a distance and asked, "How about this bet?"

Man Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. This old man really deserves a beating. She wanted to shoot him with a cannon.

Jiang Zhi touched Man Yue's shoulder and said, "I'm entrusting my life and property to you, but you must win!"

He could tell that this wasn't a choice, but they were being forced to play this crappy game.

Man Yue secretly talked to the system in her head.

“You haven’t been blocked this time!”

System: "No! What's wrong?"

Man Yue: "I didn't see that we were going to play chess. Give me some hints with your algorithm."

She wasn't very good at chess, but she didn't believe that the old man could beat a robot.

System: "Come on, host, kill that damn old man."

Jiang Zuojing looked at her confident expression and laughed at her. She was indeed Jiang Feng's woman, as arrogant as he was. He had been playing chess since he was young. If she lost, she would cry.

But as the chess pieces fell one by one, the old man's expression gradually became solemn from being leisurely and contented. He looked up at Man Yue's calm face. His chess skills were not bad!

"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to move this way anymore." He blocked Man Yue's hand while she was playing chess, ready to regret his move.

Man Yue: "Playing tricks?"

Jiang Zuojing: "What are you talking about? I just took the wrong path."

"No regrets on your move. You are just cheating." Jiang Zhi, who was watching from the side, said immediately.

"I'm older than you, so you naturally have to give in to me."

Man Yue twitched the corners of his mouth. He really lived up to his name, a troublemaker.

Man Yue: "Just one step."

Jiang Zuojing smiled, and the lines on his face twitched. "Don't accuse me of bullying the younger generation. You didn't even know where you were when I was playing chess?"

Man Yue lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, I am young and have not seen as much as you have. Look at the time, your birthday party has also started. Why don't you go and have a look?"

A dark glint flashed across the old man's eyes: "You are worried about that kid!"

"He's been in the country for so many years because of you. Did you know each other before?"

Man Yue: “I don’t know him.”

"Whether he knows me or not, he has already lost half the battle because of you." The old man smiled with a certain calmness and confidence on his face.

Jiang Feng has basically not been in London for so many years, and many things are no longer under his control.

"That kid has some good skills and is considered the best among them. However, he is disobedient and doesn't know how to respect his elders. That's why I support the other two to teach him a lesson."

Man Yue: "How can you be sure that he will suffer this loss?"

The old man looked at the chess pieces in deep thought and said, "You little girl, he has to bear the loss with me."

"Do you think it will work if you threaten him with me?"

The old man looked at her deeply and said nothing more.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that Jiang Feng is threatened with Jiang Manyue. He has other ideas, and only Manyue can help him accomplish them.

“You lose.”

Facts have proved that no matter how good the old man is at chess, he cannot beat the machine.

"Hahaha!" Although the old man was puzzled by his loss, he was not angry. He laughed twice and said, "Well played."

Jiang Zhi asked excitedly, "Can we go now?"

The old man's expression changed and he looked at him with disdain: "My biggest advantage is that I don't keep my word. You can leave if you want, but you can't leave alive."

Jiang Zhi was suddenly struck by lightning. He was fooled by the old man. He really couldn't believe what the villain said.

The old man stood up and brushed the hem of his clothes. He looked at Man Yue deeply again and left the study. When they wanted to go out, the bodyguards guarding the door immediately stopped them.

The old man turned around and looked at them coldly: "The books in this study are all treasures. You are young and it's time for you to calm down. Just stay here for a while and study hard! Wait for someone to pick you up."
