Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

"...Hello Lin Jiudan! First of all, congratulations on winning the championship of this year's Sanshuang Cup!"

"After eight years, at the 'advanced age' of 31, you have won the world championship again. This achievement has greatly surprised the entire chess world! At the same time, it has also greatly changed the opinion of many chess fans about you."

"But now that you've won the latest Sanshuang Cup, there's a question that everyone is very concerned about:"
"At the media conference for the 'Yongzhao Junwei' special challenge match, you once challenged Ruizhao 9-dan, which caused quite a stir."

"Now that you have finally gotten the chance to challenge him, will you keep your promise and take the challenge?"
"If so, is there a specific date currently scheduled? Thank you!"

"...You mean this?"

"Of course we should go, and the sooner the better. After all..."

"This is the battle to prove myself as the number one Go player in Chinese history!"

"...Huh?! 'The greatest Go player in Chinese history'?!"

"Lin Jiudan, what you just meant was...?"

"Hey, are you deaf?!"

"I said--

"I will use this upcoming challenge to show the world that I am the undisputed greatest Go player in Chinese history!"

"ah?!!

"But, almost everyone in the world of Go today agrees that Rui Zhao is the greatest of all time!"
"Even Choi Myung-ho, with sixteen world titles, and Yoo Se-hyun, with fifteen, have no objection to this, while you, Lin 9-dan, only have eight world titles..."

"Aren't eight better than that little stinky chess player's seven?!"

"Besides, haven't you noticed the recent news? Haven't people already come forward to expose her for rehearsing the score before the competition?!"
"If there's a problem with the Special Challenge match, then there might be a problem with her previous matches as well!"

"How can someone like that be considered the greatest chess player in Chinese history?!"

"Uh, this..."

"I always said that even the most outstanding female chess players in the past, like Wu Lao, only achieved the semi-finals of the World Championship. How could Rui Zhao have such an outrageous performance?!"
"There's definitely something wrong here... a really big problem, okay?!"

"I had my team contact Rui Zhao last night to schedule a match. I will definitely not give this little chess idiot any chance to cheat!"

"Wait until I beat that little chess idiot to a pulp in that challenge match! Then you'll know who the real number one player in Chinese history is!"

……

"……no?!

"What on earth is Lin Ruixin doing?!"

At 11:30 a.m. on August 9, in the chairman's office of the Dajing City Huaxia Go Association.

After watching the interviews at the Sanshuang Cup awards ceremony, Shang Chaotian, who had just slammed his fist on the table, suddenly stood up, let out an incredulous curse, and then launched into a long and rambling tirade:

"...Didn't Lao Jiao say yesterday that he seemed to have some feelings about what happened at the scene? How come he's causing trouble for Rui Zhao today?!"

"What on earth happened to him this time?!"
"It's one thing for him to make things difficult for himself before, after all, that's his freedom... But how can he smear Rui Zhao at such a crucial moment?"
"No! I have to ask him face to face what he's thinking!"
"Wenjie, ask Lao Jiao (Lin Ruixin) when his flight is! I'm going to the airport to wait for him!"

The chess association president's tone left no room for doubt, as if he was about to set off immediately to teach that arrogant new eight-time champion a lesson.

Lu Wenjie had been sitting quietly on the sofa nearby. Hearing Shang Chaotian's instructions, he raised an eyebrow thoughtfully and replied calmly:
"Brother Tian, ​​you probably won't be able to catch them..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Lin Ruixin is returning to China this afternoon, but...

"According to Kai, he flew directly to Dongjiang."

"Dongjiang?!"

Shang Chaotian was startled, his face showing obvious surprise and confusion.

"But isn't his family in Dajing? Or is it...?"

"Why was he in such a hurry to cause trouble for Rui Zhao?! He didn't even have time to rest?!"

"Well... I don't know."

Lu Wenjie shrugged:

Lin Ruixin didn't say much more to Kai Ge, only that he wouldn't be going back to Dajing with Kai Ge.

"But Brother Tian..."

At this point, Lu Wenjie changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat meaningful:

"If Lin Ruixin goes ahead and challenges Rui Zhao like this, it will be very bad for us..."

"Perhaps it's actually good news?"

"...Eh?!"
"Good news?!"

...

...

"...Little Zhao Miao! Great news! Huge, fantastic news!!"

"Lin Dazui has really delivered himself right to our doorstep!!!"

At 6 p.m. on the same day, in the deluxe suite where Rui Zhao was staying at the Dongjiang Hotel in Dongjiang City.

As soon as Ai Jian'an entered, she excitedly told her star performer about the happy things that made her happy: "I was worried that he would do something strange after getting the right to challenge, or even that he would resort to desperate measures and use the rumors about the previous score to frame you..."

"Can you believe that he actually believed those outrageous rumors?!"
"This afternoon, his agent, Mo Wei, came to me! He brought a camera to discuss matters related to the upcoming challenge and recorded the entire conversation!"
"During the exchange, he repeatedly emphasized that he would have someone broadcast the venue setup and anti-cheating measures live, leaving us absolutely no room for any trickery! This would allow Lin Ruixin to rightfully reclaim the title of 'China's First Person in History' that rightfully belongs to him!"

"It seems they've even hired online trolls to create hype domestically! They're spreading the word that the game he's about to challenge you in will prove who is the true best player in Chinese history! Even now, a large number of foreign media outlets are paying attention to these developments!"
"But what does it mean that 'bad people rack their brains but a fool's quick thinking is no match'? I'm really worried about not finding a convincing enough way to debunk this rumor!"

Boss Ai was practically rolling on the floor laughing, and at this point, he even clapped his hands a few times in delight:

"We originally wanted to respond to the rumors by having AI randomly make 20 moves under the supervision of the media and the public, but this plan was our own idea, and it still had a suspicious feel to it—but it's different when Lin Dazui jumps out!"

"He's been our enemy for years! We're like oil and water, there's absolutely no way he'd conspire with us!"
"Instead of letting the people believe he'll follow our lead, they'd be better off believing I'm Qin Shi Huang!!!"
"So... Xiao Zhao Miao!"

Ai Jian'an's voice rose again, and at the same time, his eyes were fixed on Rui Zhao, as if he saw the dawn of victory!
"As long as you can crush Lin Dazui in the upcoming challenge match and play a game that no one can find fault with, then the previous rumors will be dispelled!"
"It's a good opportunity for you to teach Lin Ruixin a lesson and vent your anger!"

Although Boss Ai's tone was very excited, Rui Zhao just listened quietly, her face always showing a calm and focused expression.

Only after Ai Jianan finished speaking did she pause for a moment, as if processing the information and emotions in the other person's words:
"...Is that so...?"

"okay I know!"

Yongshi Zhaojun nodded gently:

"Well... I don't really have any grudges against Lin Jiuduan anymore, so it's not really about venting my anger."

"But I'm still quite happy to see him come and challenge me again."

"Eh?"

Ai Jianan was slightly puzzled.

She had assumed that Rui Zhao would share her anger at Lin Ruixin's provocation and be eager to teach him a lesson on the chessboard!
But Rui Zhao's response was so calm, and she even seemed to welcome the challenge.

……What's happening here?
Just as Boss Ai was about to ask a question, Rui Zhao continued to speak with a smile:

"Besides... I don't think Lin Jiuduan is stupid at all; in fact, he's always been very smart."

"It's just that... sometimes my cleverness backfired!"

"before?"

Ai Jian'an was startled again—wasn't everything alright right now?!

In the quarterfinals of the Dream Lily Cup, Yong Shi Zhaojun taught her opponent a lesson with a divine game with a 98.8% accuracy rate. Logically speaking, Lin Dazui should be more aware of the pinnacle of Athena's strength in the chess world.

In the current situation, what we fear most is that Lin Dazui will take the opportunity to fabricate rumors and collude with North America, but he chooses to use the reputation he finally managed to salvage through the Three Joys Cup championship to help clear his side of suspicion... He's incredibly stupid!
Ai Jian'an opened her mouth, wanting to offer a small rebuttal to Rui Zhao's assertion that "Lin Ruixin is smart".

However, just as she was about to speak, a crisp cell phone ringtone suddenly rang out, breaking the atmosphere of the conversation in the room!
It was Ai Jian'an's phone! She instinctively took out her phone, and the screen clearly displayed the caller's name—Lei Qi!
Ai Jianan frowned slightly, somewhat surprised, but immediately pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear:

"Hello? Lei Qi?"

"Uh... Miss Ai..."

On the other end of the phone, Lei Qi's voice came through, sounding somewhat hesitant, "...There's something...could you please pass it on to Rui Zhao?" He made the request.

Ai Jian'an glanced at Rui Zhao, who was sitting beside her, looking at her calmly, and replied:

"Hmm? I happen to be with Xiao Zhao. Just tell me!"

After speaking, she turned on speakerphone and placed the phone on the coffee table between the two of them.

"Hmm...I see..."

Lei Qi seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Lin Ruixin just came to my house to formally apologize for what happened in the Chess Saint Tournament five years ago."

"He also said: 'Whatever compensation I need, he will do it if he can...'"

"what?!"

Ai Jian'an's eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously looked at Rui Zhao, only to find that Rui Zhao's gaze also flickered slightly, but she didn't seem to find it surprising.

"Well, my mom was a bit confused by his reaction, so she called me..."

Lei Qi's voice continued:
"To be honest, I don't want to dwell on the past anymore, so I'm asking him not to cause you any more trouble, including giving up his right to challenge you this time..."

"……give up?!"

Ai Jian'an turned pale upon hearing this word.

How can this work!

This is such a golden opportunity, Xiao Lei, don't you dare mess it up!!!
"...No, Lei Qi, please don't..."

"...But he refused outright!"

Just as Ai Jianan was about to stop him, Lei Qi's next words came.

……Eh?

Miss Ai was even more confused, but then she heard Lei Qi continue speaking on the other end of the phone:

He said this challenge was very important for both him and Rui Zhao! He even asked me to ask Rui Zhao on his behalf:

"Will he be able to give it his all in the challenge match?" (End of Chapter)
