The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

"Hey, Zicheng, you'd better stop laughing. Look at yourself now, you look worse than if you were crying."

Ding Qing remained as carefree as ever, waving his hand dismissively.

He then added, "I just finished some business with Ashin. He asked where you were, so I brought him here."

"Brother Zicheng, why are you so nervous?"

Ding Xin smiled faintly, then walked directly to the chessboard and sat down: "I also quite like playing Go, shall we play a game?"

After saying that, he began to tidy up the scattered chess pieces on his own.

"Okay, I'll have a game with you."

Li Zicheng responded and sat down opposite Ding Xin.

Ding Xin glanced at him and said with a smile, "How's your chess skill? Do you need me to give you a few pieces?"

"Hehe, no need, let's give it a try."

Lee Ja-sung, still sporting an unpleasant smile, replied.

All he wanted to do now was finish this game quickly so he could find an excuse to take the two of them away.

Staying here indefinitely would be a real test of his mental fortitude.

Ding Xin saw through Li Zicheng's plan but didn't care. "Come on, I'll teach you another lesson today."

In fact, Ding Xin wasn't bragging when he said he liked playing Go.

He really likes it.

He played a lot of online Go in his past life, and his Go skills were at the amateur 6-dan level.

It might not have been a big deal in my past life, but dealing with Lee Ja-sung would be a piece of cake.

After less than twenty moves, Li Zicheng was beginning to show signs of defeat.

Ding Qing may not understand Go, but he understands facial expressions.

Just look at Ding Xin's confident expression, and then look at Li Zicheng and that beautiful teacher's furrowed brows.

By comparing the two, it becomes clear that Ding Xin is indeed quite capable.

"Brother Zicheng, the first thing in playing Go is to have a strategic view. You need to know where the contradictions lie in the whole game and make timely adjustments. Only then will you have a chance of winning..."

"Secondly, you need to understand the overall situation of the game. Some pieces should be sacrificed when necessary; don't be reluctant to do so, otherwise you'll be dragged down..."

Finally, it's essential to maintain a calm and composed mindset, avoiding haste and impatience, and not dwelling on temporary gains or losses...

Ding Xin began to preach, but his words were interpreted differently by different people.

Ding Qing may not be highly educated, but his innate high emotional intelligence allowed him to grasp the key points.

A broad perspective, the ability to give and take, and a calm mind.

Lee Ja-sung, on the other hand, put himself in that situation.

He lacks a sense of the big picture and can't see the direction at all.

He has no control over what he gives and what he receives.

Even with a calm mind, he simply cannot find peace.

So, if things continue like this, he's bound to lose no matter what...

Li Xinyu's perspective was completely different from theirs. What he was thinking about now was, what kind of person was Ding Xin?

This theory of Go is by no means simple.

He was nothing like the poorly educated black kid described in the police files.

Li Xinyu had no doubts.

If the situation and her identity were different, she might very well fall for the man in front of her.

After all, Ding Xin was exceptionally handsome, coupled with his skillful chess playing, composed expression, and casual philosophical insights.

For an artsy young woman like her, this was practically a fatal blow.

"I lost!"

Lee Ja-sung threw down his piece and conceded defeat.

As expected and as logical, his chess skills were already lacking, and Ding Xin's words had further disturbed his composure.

They lost even faster.

Ding Xin smiled and turned his gaze to the woman: "Beautiful teacher, how about a plate?"

Li Xinyu paused slightly, but before she could speak, Li Zicheng spoke first.

"Ah-Xin, big brother, it's getting late, let's go get some food together..."

Forehead...

Well, this topic was reposted...

It's so awkward!

However, Ding Qing, as Li Zicheng's true love, still takes good care of this good brother.

"Ah Xin, let's go. It's rare for Zi Cheng to want to treat us. We have to make him bleed a lot today!" Ding Qing said, winking.

"Okay, okay..."

Ding Xin feigned helplessness, tossed aside the chess piece, and got up to leave with the two men.

Just before reaching the door, he added, "Hey, beautiful teacher, I'll come find you to play chess another day..."

The voice just fell.

Ding Qing grabbed his shoulder and pushed him toward the door, saying, "Damn it, you already have enough women. Leave this one for Zicheng!"

Chapter 110 Cheers, Brother!

After Ding Xin and the other two left.

Li Xinyu quietly tidied up the chessboard while his mind raced.

Ding Qing and Ding Xin were completely different from the gang leaders she had imagined.

In fact, she felt that Li Zicheng was more intimidating than they were.

First meeting.

Ding Qing gave her the impression of being a mischievous big kid, easygoing and kind.

In her eyes, Ding Xin was a handsome and learned young man, especially charming when playing chess.

Rather than calling him a gangster boss, he's more like a young scholar.

No wonder Section Chief Jiang is so wary of Li Zicheng now.

She had been wondering if Section Chief Jiang had gone too far, since Li Zicheng had never made a mistake over the years.

Moreover, in her eyes, Li Zicheng always seemed very distressed, and her uniquely feminine sensibilities made her feel sorry for him.

But at this moment, she understood Section Chief Jiang's good intentions.

If the gang leader Lee Ja-sung infiltrated was a ruthless killer with a long list of evil deeds, that would be one thing.

Unfortunately, Ding Qing is clearly not that kind of person right now.

With her expertise in psychology, she could tell that Ding Qing's attitude towards Li Zicheng was casual yet sincere.

This doesn't seem like a superior-subordinate relationship at all; it's more like a brotherly relationship.

In addition, she also keenly noticed a detail: the way Li Zicheng and Ding Xin addressed each other.

Brother Zicheng!

Ashin!

It should be noted that Ding Xin is not a member of the Peking University faction. Logically, Li Zicheng should address Ding Xin as President Ding.

This also shows that the relationship between the three of them is really very close.

In this atmosphere, we certainly need to be wary of Lee Ja-sung's potential betrayal...

...

Longshan District, Chinese restaurant.

There were only three people in the private room: Ding Xin, Ding Qing, and Li Zicheng.

The underlings of the Faith Faction and the North Gate Faction were all arranged to eat in the outer hall.

"Here, try this infused liquor..."

Before the dishes were even served, Ding Qing proudly pulled out a bottle of medicinal wine and poured Ding Xin a full glass.

Ding Xin picked up his wine glass, smelled it, and took a small sip under Ding Qing's expectant gaze.

"How about it?"

"Okay..."
