Chapter 2653 Seeking advice by playing chess with an old friend

Hai Jing looked at him suspiciously.

Qiao Ya said, "Don't you know Mr. Zheng? You two have a good relationship. He's the one who played chess with you that time."

"He knows that European bigwig."

The seascape blurred my vision.

Qiao Ya thought for a moment: "I can't tell you too much, or it will be noticed."

"Old Master Zheng is a man who takes things as they come. He hates being schemed against, so if you act according to your heart, you may get unexpected results."

Hai Jing pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll go find the old man to play chess this afternoon."

He was a man of his word. After returning home, he tidied up a bit, then leisurely went to find Mr. Zheng with a roll of newspaper tucked under his arm.

When Mr. Zheng saw him arrive, he waved happily and said, "Come, come, play a game of chess with me."

Hai Jing nodded and obediently walked over to sit down and play chess with him.

The two played three rounds, a close and exciting match with wins and losses.

Mr. Zheng was willing to play chess with Haijing because he could play to a standstill, with both wins and losses.

But whether Haijing gave him any leeway is unknown.

Mr. Zheng didn't dwell on that; he just wanted to have fun.

After finishing three games of chess, Mr. Zheng was a little tired, so he suggested having some tea and snacks to rest. Haijing readily agreed.

The two then moved to the pavilion.

Enjoy the autumn mountain scenery while drinking tea and chatting.

Mr. Zheng said, "You haven't come these past few days. Haven't you been in Hong Kong?"

Hai Jing hummed in agreement and said lightly, "Don't even mention it, it makes me angry just thinking about it."

He paused for a moment and then said, "We're practically chess friends, even though we're from different generations. I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I got scammed these past few days and almost didn't make it back."

The old man perked up immediately upon hearing this.

So he said, "Tell me what happened, and cheer me up."

Haijing wasn't afraid to expose his family's dirty laundry, so he gave a general account of the Qiao family's situation, emphasizing that Qiao Zhendong of the Qiao family had been replaced and a stand-in had been made.

Grandpa Zheng said, "I know about this, and I was quite shocked when I heard about it."

"You mentioned this planet-destroying plan. It seems these people are preparing to sweep through all walks of life, even including the inner workings of wealthy families."

Haijing nodded and said, "Who says otherwise? But those are headaches for the authorities. As long as our own family members are okay, that's fine."

"But I heard that the real Joe Zhen was on Devil Island, so I took Uncle Fu to Devil Island to find him. I didn't expect to be tricked instead."

Haijing then told Grandpa Zheng what happened next, and everything he said was true.

There was also a bit of embellishment.

However, the fictional elements are not numerous, only appearing occasionally, which makes the story sound smoother, more natural, and more captivating.

After the whole story was finished, Haijing said angrily, "Tell me, the wedding was just around the corner, and so many twists and turns have happened. Now the wedding can't be held for the time being, and I don't even know where my father-in-law is now."

"I just got back and the shipping magnate is forcing me to break off the engagement."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Zheng asked in surprise, "What's this about him forcing you to break off the engagement?"

Haijing then repeated the shipping magnate's words truthfully.

After hearing this, Old Master Zheng slammed his hand on the table and angrily said, "Outrageous! Does he think that just because he's a shipping magnate, he can do whatever he wants?"

"They've stirred up Hong Kong into such a mess that they show no remorse and have not even tried to restrain themselves."

"I know about their seventh son. He recently had his brain lobe removed. I heard that in other countries, this kind of punishment is specifically used to deal with extremely vicious villains and criminals who have committed serious crimes and are considered unforgivable."

Now that this is being used on his son, you can imagine how much the other party hates him; he even wants that girl, Qiao Ya, to marry him.

"That's outrageous!"

Old Master Zheng gritted his teeth in anger, and Hai Jing said in a low voice:

“The problem now is that Uncle Fu is still in his hands. If Uncle Fu is not brought back, we will not know where Qiao Zhendong is. On one side is my husband, and on the other side is her biological father.”

“After Xiaoya came back, she locked herself in her room and was very upset. I couldn’t stay at home either. If I walked around in front of her, she would definitely get angrier and angrier.”

"That's why I came out to play chess with you. I'm really annoyed."

Grandpa Zheng understood her thoughts and feelings, and sighed softly, saying, "You two really have it tough."

He paused, then asked, "What are your thoughts? How do you plan to break this deadlock? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hai Jing paused for a moment and said, "To be honest, I have no clue at all. On the way back, I heard Qiao Ya mention that the shipping magnate's son had offended someone."

"Then a European bigwig took care of him."

"It's a pity that this European bigwig is too far away from me, otherwise I would like to ask him, why did you just finish him off and not just wipe him out?"

"And to prevent him from causing harm to others again?"

Grandpa Zheng clapped his hands and said, "You're right. We should kill him so he can never harm people again. He's become an idiot now, but his human instincts are still there."

"It can continue to harm people; isn't that just cheating them?"

Hai Jing said, "Who can argue with that?"

After saying that, I checked the time and it was almost time.

He stood up and said, "Forget it, I won't talk about it anymore. It's all tears when I think about it. I see it's getting late, I should go back."

"I wonder how upset Qiao Ya is at home."

He turned to leave after speaking, but Old Master Zheng thought for a moment, then called him back. Hai Jing looked at him suspiciously and asked:

"Is there anything else?"

Old Master Zheng asked, "Do you want to find that European tycoon, the one who dealt with the shipping magnate's son?"

Hearing this, Hai Jing was overjoyed; it was exactly what she wanted.

But still feigning innocence, she asked, "I'd like to, but do you know him?"

Grandpa Zheng said, "I know him, but I don't know if he can help you. I can introduce you to him. He's a businessman. As long as the profit is enough, he'll consider doing anything you ask him to do."

"The only person he never measured in terms of profit in his life was the girl he liked, who was the previous Miss Asia. But unexpectedly, he was tricked by someone."

After a moment of silence, Hai Jing suddenly asked, "Before I see him, I'd like to ask, did that Miss Asia marry him?"

Grandpa Zheng said, "No."

Hai Jing frowned, his face somewhat gloomy.

Grandpa Zheng said, "He was determined to get married, but she wouldn't, especially after she lost her virginity and was harmed by someone."

"But almost half of Hong Kong knows about this. The girl has a strong personality. Not long after she went back, she attempted suicide by jumping from a high-rise building and became a vegetable. She is still being treated in the hospital."
