Chapter 1264: Chapter 1267: Playing Chess (Part 2)

For these doubts, the two of them just brushed it off in their minds.

They didn’t pay any special attention to it.

Also, as for whether the old man was a tycoon or not, it didn’t make much difference in their eyes.

Because both of them were not short of money.

Especially Lin Xi now, who was absolutely a billionaire.

All assets combined, tens of billions.

Counting the money lent to Bai Bing, the total worth was surely not less than ten billion.

This kind of net worth is considered top-tier in the whole country.

They also knew early on that this old man was called Mu Zhonghe, who used to be in the real estate business.

Now, he has long retired.

The company and such were handed over to his son and daughter to manage.

He returned from the big city to his hometown to enjoy his retirement.

Life is very leisurely and comfortable for him.

As the car reached the door, a security guard briskly ran over and opened the gate.

And greeted the old man.

However, seeing the scars on the old man’s face, the guard was startled and was about to call for bodyguards or doctors, without any intentional act.

The old man immediately stopped him, saying it was nothing serious.

Then, after parking the car, the three of them got out.

Along the way, they met some servants.

Overall, Lin Xi roughly estimated that, including two bodyguards, a security guard, and six or seven servants,

there should be about a dozen people.

It seems like ten people, but for such a large detached villa, actually, that’s still a small number.

No, shortly after they entered the house, an old lady came walking over.

Her age was about similar to the old man’s.

Upon seeing the old man like that, her eyes filled with pain, almost crying.

But, seeing that he was indeed fine, she turned to various chastising.

The old man nodded continuously, showing a look of willingness to endure any hitting or reprimand.

After a while, when the old lady was tired of scolding, she started looking for medicine to apply for him.

During this time, the old man briefly mentioned what happened on the mountain. More importantly, he said that Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le, these two young people, saved him.

Of course, when it came to the dangerous moment of the wild boar attack, he just glossed over it.

Obviously, he didn’t want to worry his spouse.

Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le didn’t reveal the truth.

They were still envious of the affection between the two elderly.

By this time, it was already noon, and the old couple had instructed the servants long ago to prepare the meal.

The cuisine from the Sichuan region was indeed exquisite.

Especially as the household staff of the old man were very skilled.

An entire large table, almost ninety percent of it, was eaten by Lin Xi.

In response, although the old couple was surprised, they were very pleased.

They insisted on keeping the two of them, saying they must stay overnight at their place.

Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le had no objection.

Before this, they checked their phones to find that the plane tickets for today were already sold out.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi also called Bai Bing to explain the situation.

After all, during the few days in the Secret Realm, there was no cell signal.

In the afternoon, Princess Consort Le chatted with the old lady, while Lin Xi played chess with the old man.

The old man was very good at chess, probably capable of winning international chess championships.

But compared to Lin Xi, there was still a gap.

However, the two of them battled it out for a long time.

The old man was even more astonished at the situation.

He had never encountered someone so skilled at chess.

Especially a young person!

For so many years, he never met a match in chess.

Now, encountering a rival, even stronger than him, he couldn’t stop.

With nothing to do, Lin Xi also spent the entire afternoon playing.

Of course, the entire afternoon, the old man didn’t win once.

In the evening, there was another Sichuan feast, and the dishes were different from noon.

Lin Xi estimated that these two meals, if outside, with labor and ingredients, would not cost less than a hundred thousand.

Moreover, the ingredients the old man used were the best.

So, the price would be several times higher.

The old man was someone who wouldn’t accept defeat, and after dinner, he dragged Lin Xi to play chess again.

Honestly, although Lin Xi kept winning,

playing against such a rare expert as the old man also allowed him to improve.

So, he was happy to play.

However, before they could finish two games that evening, they were interrupted.

The interruption wasn’t from the villa’s bodyguards or servants, but from a middle-aged man and woman Lin Xi hadn’t seen before.

They looked somewhat similar!

And these two also resembled the old couple a bit.

At first glance, Lin Xi didn’t need to guess; these two were definitely the son and daughter the old man mentioned before.

"Dad, are you okay?" The two rushed over in a hurry, asking anxiously.

Clearly, someone from the villa must have secretly informed them.

And it was because of this, worried, they rushed over.

"What could happen to me!" Seeing his son and daughter, the old man replied grumpily.

Interrupting his chess time really annoyed him.

Of course, having them come all this way did warm his heart.

"Alright, alright, if you haven’t eaten, ask someone to make something."

"If there’s nothing else, don’t bother me!"

"Can’t you see I’m playing chess with Xiaolin?"

Once the old man finished speaking, he urged Lin Xi to continue playing chess.

The two of them agreed, exchanged a look, and saw a fleeting flash in each other’s eyes.

Following this, they also noticed their mother, the old lady, chatting animatedly with a very pretty girl.

The two of them agreed, wanting to ask something, but were interrupted by the old lady.

If it wasn’t important, they should not disturb them.

"Big brother, what do you think?" The woman asked in the kitchen.

At this moment, both of their expressions were not so good.

"What do you think?" The man questioned himself, then continued,

"Those two saved Dad!"

"We have to properly thank them afterward!!!"

The woman nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, we must show our gratitude!!!"

"Alright then, sis, ask Auntie to make something, we haven’t eaten anything on our way here!"

"Okay!"

After eating, they went to sit next to the old man and Lin Xi, watching them play chess.

At first glance, their expressions changed.

But quickly returned to normal.

"How can this person be so skilled?"

"Who is he really?"

"Could he really have some ulterior motives?"

You know, they were aware of the old man’s chess skills, which were likely unmatched even internationally.

Subconsciously, the previous thought in their hearts began to stir some worries.
