"Old man, how's your back?"
Wan Yunting, pulled by Ma Jianguo, naturally saw Han Qizhi standing there dumbfounded.
"Haha, ever since you gave me acupuncture last time, my old back has been much better."
Ma Jianguo was all enthusiasm, straightening his back and patting his lower back with his old hands, laughing heartily. He then pulled Wan Yunting back to the pavilion, "Come, come, Xiao Wan, let's play a game quickly. I haven't played with you in ages, and you beat me last time."
"Oh, Old Ma, you lost to Xiao Wan?" the other old men like Old Wang next to them exclaimed in surprise.
Ma Jianguo immediately shot them a glare and pointed at Wan Yunting, "Don't be fooled by Xiao Wan's youth, his chess skills are quite formidable."
Wan Yunting smiled humbly, "You flatter me, old sir."
"Enough nonsense, sit down quickly and play a game with me, let them see what a naturally talented chess player looks like."
Ma Jianguo pointed at the stone stool in front of him. Wan Yunting nodded, handed the fruit in his hand to Old Wang, and let everyone share...
"Advance Cannon..."
And so, Wan Yunting and Ma Jianguo began to play chess. Han Qizhi, who had snapped out of his daze, didn't expect Wan Yunting to come over. He immediately went up and said, "Wan Yunting, I am Han Qizhi. Can I talk to you?"
"Sure, Xiao Wan, advancing the cannon right away. Then I'll advance my cannon too."
Ma Jianguo mimicked Wan Yunting's move. Seeing Han Qizhi looming over again, he became impatient, "Are you done yet? Can't you see we're playing chess?"
Wan Yunting glanced at Han Qizhi, smiled, and said nothing, continuing to play with Ma Jianguo, completely leaving Han Qizhi to the side. This made Han Qizhi feel awkward and even more uncomfortable, but he could only smile and say, "Okay, okay, Old Ma, you go ahead and play..."
Even though he knew that his Han family's current predicament was inseparable from Wan Yunting, Han Qizhi dared not harbor any resentment. From Ma Jianguo's enthusiasm towards Wan Yunting just now, who would dare to provoke him?
Before long, Old Wang and the other old friends were all standing behind Ma Jianguo, their eyes fixed on the chess board as they watched the players' battle. Old Wang exclaimed, "Xiao Wan's move with the Elephant is brilliant! It directly cut off Old Ma's retreat."
"That's right, Old Ma, move the Chariot..."
"No, move the Soldier..."
"Only one Chariot left, quickly defend this position..."
Suddenly, the old men chimed in one after another, chattering at Ma Jianguo. Ma Jianguo, feeling annoyed, retorted angrily, "Get lost, get lost! If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense. The move should be the Advisor!"
Wan Yunting smiled, and without being courteous, directly blasted his Cannon at Ma Jianguo's General, "Check!"
"Oh no..."
Ma Jianguo immediately jumped up, staring at the chess board with wide eyes, regretting his move with the Advisor. Old Wang and the others also chimed in with hindsight, all the old guys talking at once, making Wan Yunting laugh. These old men were like petulant children now.
Han Qizhi still hadn't left. He stood silently on the side like an outsider. After seeing Wan Yunting and Ma Jianguo finish their game, he impatiently stepped forward and cautiously said, "Wan Yunting, can we talk for a moment?"
Wan Yunting looked at him and, knowing that the conversation was inevitable, nodded and stood up. "Old sirs, please continue your game. I'll talk to him for a bit."
Ma Jianguo glared at Han Qizhi and nodded without saying anything.
Wan Yunting and Han Qizhi walked to the side. Wan Yunting's attitude was very sincere. "Wan Yunting, regarding what Han Yuze did to Yan Xi that night, I apologize to you first. I'm sorry..."
Wan Yunting took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag, remaining silent.
Han Qizhi lowered his head slightly, facing this young man whom he had previously dismissed. However, after learning of his relationship with Ma Jianguo, and with the news that came out last night about Wan Yunting's contributions to the police, which were now known nationwide, Han Qizhi understood that Wan Yunting had an immeasurable future and was bound to reach a path many people only dreamed of...
"I know you've been targeting our Han family because of Han Yuze's matter."
Han Qizhi now stood humbly before Wan Yunting, his tone daring not to show any resentment, "But Wan Yunting, my father is gone, Han Yuze has faced retribution in England, and now my eldest brother, unable to bear the shock, has fallen ill and is still receiving treatment abroad. His company is also on the verge of bankruptcy!"
"So I sincerely hope you can stop here and let our Han family go, giving me a way out. Please."
Saying this, Han Qizhi bowed ninety degrees to Wan Yunting. His sincere attitude was, in essence, begging Wan Yunting to spare them.
Han Qizhi knew that whether he could continue his political career depended entirely on whether Wan Yunting could forgive their Han family!
"Whoosh..."
The smoke wafted and dispersed. Wan Yunting turned to look at Han Qizhi, who remained in a bowed posture, and shook his head with a light laugh, "Your Han family reaching this point was only a matter of time, it's just that the time has been moved up. So, take care of yourself!"
These words made Han Qizhi's heart surge with emotion. Bowing, he said gratefully, "Thank you for your leniency. I, Han Qizhi, swear that I will reflect deeply and never do anything foolish again."
Wan Yunting smiled, dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped it out before heading back towards the pavilion...
For their Han family, it was time to draw a line.
The matter was caused by Han Yuze's foolish actions towards Yan Xi. Now Han Yuze was dead, Han Anhong of their Han family was also dead, and now Han Yutang was critically ill, with the Han Corporation on the brink of bankruptcy. Revenge could stop here.
Now that only Han Qizhi remained in the Han family, Wan Yunting believed he was a smart person. How he conducted himself in the future was no longer his concern.
Han Qizhi, now standing straight, turned to look at Wan Yunting's retreating figure and finally let out a sigh of relief, leaving with a sense of lightness.
He never thought of taking revenge on Wan Yunting in the future because he understood that it was impossible for him to do so on his own. The only thing he could blame was his Han family's fortune had run its course, and he had to accept this fact...
Wan Yunting returned and played another game with Ma Jianguo. This time, he let Ma Jianguo win, who was as happy as a child and proudly showed off to Old Wang and the other old friends...
They had lunch at the old gentleman's house. In the afternoon, Wan Yunting returned directly to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department because a patient was looking for him.
"Big Brother Wan, you're back."
At the entrance of the consultation room, Kuang Long saw Wan Yunting return and immediately went to meet him. "I didn't expect you went to the Golden Triangle to capture drug lords. Why didn't you take me with you?"
"What would I take you for?"
Wan Yunting gave him a sidelong glance, but he was still grateful for Kuang Long's protection of his second brother during this period.
"Hehe, our big hero is back."
Ling Wei, who was in the consultation room, walked out. Dressed in a black lace, form-fitting dress, her dark purple, slightly curly long hair cascaded elegantly. Her delicate oval face was adorned with captivating, alluring eyes, a prominent aquiline nose, and seductive, crimson lips. She exuded an aura of sophistication and mature sexiness, possessing a captivating charm.
"What big hero? President Ling is too funny."
Facing this captivating vixen, Wan Yunting smiled and entered the consultation room. After washing his hands, he came out, knowing that Ling Wei was here for a follow-up examination, and that she had other motives as well!
