Chapter 284 Chess Game, Victory or Defeat, Stubbornness

"You actually dare to step into the door of our Qianye family! Kitahara Sosuke! This is too much!"

Kyoto City, Sakyo District, in front of the gate of Chino Bette Yuzuki Manor, Shuichiro Kaneshiro, carrying a bamboo sword on his back, roared at Kitahara Sosuke. His eyes were wide open, his face was red, and he looked like he wanted to pull out his bamboo sword and chop Kitahara Sosuke into pieces. The two halves look like.

"It's all because of you, the Qianye family, and Rin-chan. You still dare to come here now!"

Kitahara Sosuke stopped Kitahara Ai who was about to try and had an excited face with his hands. He looked at him and said slowly: "Get out of the way, Kaneshiro-san. I don't want to conflict with you here. I'm just here today. I want to discuss business with the Chino family."

"Business? What kind of business is there for you now?" Shuichiro Kaneshiro was furious. In the middle of his words, he was interrupted by Chino Hiroshi who came from behind.

"That's enough, Shuichiro, let Sosuke come in. Father wants to see him." Chino Hiroshi's face was also very bad. He seemed to have lost his previous energy, his beard was unkempt, and his unmanaged hair looked slightly dirty. Swinging slightly in the cold wind.

Kitahara Sosuke bowed slightly to him and strode up the steps. Kitahara Ai behind him lightly waved his little fist at Shuichiro Kaneshiro when he passed by him, bared his teeth and then ran and jumped up.

Chino Hiroshi was implicated in Chino Masato's affair. Not only did he lose his position as mayor of the Kyoto City General Affairs Office, but he also lost his status as a member of the Senate. He suddenly fell from a powerful political boss to an ordinary civilian.

He had thought that due to the dispute between Kitahara Investment and the Chino family, he might not be able to please both parties and would be affected to some extent, but he did not expect that the struggle between the two parties would be so fierce. Even his eldest brother, who had just joined the Prime Minister's cabinet, was killed by Kitahara Sosuke. , and he also lost everything.

The young man who followed him to the lobby was restrained and scary, with ambitions far beyond his imagination. He held the stars and the sea in his heart, and I am afraid no one can stop him.

It's a pity that the Chino family still couldn't reach a consensus at this time, and those so-called elders didn't really regard Beihara Investment as an opponent.

The two brothers and their father alone cannot lead the huge Qianye family. If this continues, there will really be only a dead end.

Chino Hiroshi, who was walking in front silently, suddenly remembered what Sosuke Kitahara said when he first came to the Chino family to angrily criticize the clan elders. He said that this family was exactly the same as the Kitahara family he had seen, except that it was larger.

At this moment, Chino Hiroshi believed this sentence deeply. This is an inevitable problem for a big family. If it were in its heyday or when there were no opponents, these would be nothing. But when faced with the current situation, this It will become the family's Achilles' heel!

Chino Hiroshi, who has seen through all this, is worried but powerless. He can only remain silent and watch step by step.

"Uncle Chino, Rin-chan is grounded?" Kitahara Sosuke has not seen Chino Rin for a long time.

Some time ago, Chino Rin moved out of Yukitsusou and often lived in the university dormitory. As a professor of surgery at Kyoto University, she was very busy with her usual work, but she also tried her best to find time to date Kitahara Sosuke, but since Kitahara's investment officially After standing on the opposite side of the Prime Minister's Cabinet, the contact between the two was suddenly severed.

The well-informed Kitahara Sosuke soon learned that she was grounded at home. Since the two were not officially engaged yet and there was no explanation, he couldn't rush to Xueyue Manor to ask for someone, so he had to give up temporarily.

I came to Chino's house today to take a look at the situation.

"Rin, I can't meet you now." Chino Hiroshi paused and lowered his voice and said, "Aosuke, you should know better than me about the current situation. If you come to Chino's house like this, you can't get our Support it.”

"Whether you can get support is one thing, whether you can do it or not is another thing. Uncle Chino, Uncle Yue Masato, it is not necessarily a bad thing that he has left the prime minister's cabinet. The new party's Hosokawa Morihi is ambitious and motivated, and Wakamiya In the confrontation between the Ze family, it’s still unclear who will win and who will lose.”

Kithara Sosuke looked at him deeply,

"The impact that the Qianye family will suffer next may be more serious than you expected. Now is the best opportunity to get away. I came here to see Rin-chan's face. I said it, if you don't listen, that's your fault. thing."

Chino Hiroshi frowned upon hearing this. He had heard a little bit about the struggle between the prime minister's cabinet and the new party. He had no clue about this inexplicable new opposition party. Looking carefully at Kitahara Sosuke's expression, could he be a strong supporter behind it?

When he said the outcome was unknown, that was just a deliberately vague statement. After Chino Hiroshi had been in contact with Kithara Sosuke several times, he knew that once he dared to do it, there was an 80% to 90% chance of winning!

It’s scary to think about it!

Is he so sure that the subsequent development of events will go according to his ideas?

Chino Hiroshi took a deep breath, and finally said nothing. He just continued to lower his voice and said: "Go, Aosuke, this time only your father and eldest brother are waiting for you."

He pushed open the door of the small study next to the lobby for Sosuke Kitahara. He felt that the sophisticated old man and the middle-aged man with a reserved expression were sitting at the low table playing Go. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they did not raise their heads.

Qian Yelong said: "Come in, I won't entertain you anymore. I can pour you tea yourself and bring a chair to sit on."

Kitahara Sosuke didn't mind this either. He walked into the study, closed the door, looked at the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, took a small stool and sat down at the low table to watch them play chess.

Go is one of the quintessences of China. It spread to Japan in ancient times and soon became an entertainment and pastime suitable for all ages. People in high positions like to play chess, but most of the chess skills are extremely weird.

Kitahara Sosuke didn't understand Go at all. He didn't have this hobby, and he also used the Go board to play backgammon.

"Aosuke, tell me, will I win this game of chess or will my father win?" Chino Masato suddenly spoke. He had almost never spoken to Kitahara Sosuke. In Kitahara Sosuke's impression, this seemed to be the first time that his father-in-law took the initiative. Talk to yourself.

He shrugged and said, "I don't understand Go."

Chino Masato stopped holding the chess piece, then looked up at him. After looking at him for a long time, he put the chess piece in his hand on the table, pushed it gently, and said with a smile: "I lost."

Qian Yelong, who was sitting across from him, was still watching the chess game with his chess pieces. He seemed not to have heard his son's words. After a while, he said quietly: "I think we can continue playing chess for a while, Masato. Play chess before the final victory or defeat. Don’t give up easily.”

"If you lose, you lose, father." Chino Masato sighed, stood up, and gave up his seat, "Aosuke, sit here."

"I said I didn't lose, so I haven't lost yet!" Qian Yelong suddenly pressed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and looked at Kitahara Sosuke with his cloudy eyes, "Come on, play chess, Sosuke!"
