After Tao Yuan finished playing a song, he came out of the back room. Wei Shicheng introduced him, “This is my uncle, and this is my elder cousin.”
“Hello uncle, hello elder cousin.” After greeting them, Tao Yuan walked to Wei Shicheng’s side and sat down.
“How did you paint the 《Elysium Punctum》?” Master Liu came over for the purpose of talking about the land and asked about the painting right off the bat, not hiding his true purpose.
“It was a picture from my dream. I had the same dream for many years, and then after fantasizing about it, I painted the 《Elysium Punctum》.”
“It is true that talent is God’s preference, and miracles are God-given abilities.” Master Liu exclaimed.
“My father sat in the exhibit hall for three days and nights so he could look at that painting, and he was almost taken to the hospital. As his children, we were all worried about his health.” Liu Wangyang is suggesting to Wei Shicheng that we are all relatives, so for the sake of the old man’s health, give him some face.
Wei Shicheng was smiling, but in his heart he was thinking, “I’ve approached you several times before about that land, why don’t you sell it to me for the sake of your relatives?”
But that land is the ancestral property of the Liu family. When he went to talk to them, the old man didn’t chase him out, which was already a sign of respect for him.
“I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. I’ll just tell you plainly, that I’m just here for that painting, go ahead and name your price, as long as I can afford it, I’ll give it.” Master Liu said.
“Father …….” Liu Wangyang couldn’t help but persuade. The painting was good, but it also needed a certain amount of money to hold on to it. If you took most of our family fortune to buy the painting, it would be someone else’s sooner or later.
Master Liu stared at him, and Liu Wangyang immediately shut up. Although Master Liu doesn’t care about the company’s affairs anymore, he was still one of the most important people in the Liu family.
Tao Yuan and Wei Shicheng looked at each other and then said, “I heard that Uncle and Elder Cousin also like to play chess?”
Wei Shicheng was helpless in his heart and went with it. He didn’t even try to stop him anymore.
“That’s right,do you want to play a game with me?” Master Liu asked.
“Indeed, I had this idea. Sometime ago, I played Go with a Go master before, and I heard that uncle’s level was above that of a Go master. So out of curiosity, I wanted to play a game with Uncle.”
“If you want to play Go with me, you can always come to me later, and I’ll play with you all the time. For now, let’s talk about the painting first.”
“It’s about the painting that I want to talk to Uncle about, that’s why let’s talk about the Go first.” Tao Yuan said.

“What about it?”

Master Liu didn’t expect him to say that, and looked at him with a surprised look in his eyes. “You don’t think you could beat me after playing Go with the Go master a few times, do you? If I had the time to play, he wouldn’t be able to win the title of Go master.”
“That’s why I said, if I lose, I’ll give you the painting for free, then I’ll feel more at ease.” Tao Yuan said with a smile.
“Father, I think that’s good.” Liu Wangyang was so anxious that he hoped his father would quickly agre. It would be a pity not to take such a good opportunity, they would certainly regret it.
Master Liu looked at the two of them for a while. He saw that Wei Shicheng didn’t want to agree, but the painting was Tao Yuan’s. They weren’t married yet, so he couldn’t make a decision. When he saw Tao Yuan’s confident look, he felt that he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and that he really thought he could do anything without any setbacks at his young age.
Normally, he wouldn’t want to take advantage of something that would make him look old and petty to cheat children. But he really wanted the painting so badly that if he didn’t take this opportunity to take it away, it would be even harder to convince them later on. So he thought, well, let’s just take it as a lesson for him, young people always have to suffer some losses to really grow up.
“Then it’s settled, I’ll go and have someone arrange it, you can just come and play with me then.” Master Liu said.
The two sides have already agreed, so Master Liu did not stay long, and left after sitting for a while.
Master Liu was in an urgent mood, and the two men’s bet on the painting was soon made public.
People were curious and confused, wondering what kind of wager this was. It was never heard that Go would be used to determine the winner or loser, especially when the prize was very expensive.
Those who didn’t know Master Liu’s level of Go, felt that Tao Yuan’s level of Go was not low. Since he could compete with the Go Master, he might win. For those who knew Master Liu’s level of Go, they were worried for Tao Yuan, thinking that the masterpiece might change hands.
On the day of the competition, not only the media, but also many politicians, businessmen and celebrities, as well as dignitaries from all walks of life came to the event.
After the shock of “Elysium Punctum” at home and abroad, Tao Yuan had been hiding from the public, but now he finally appeared in public. With the painting as a bet, where he will play a game of Go with someone to win or lose,it soon attracted a lot of attention.
The Liu family’s piece of land is also the one that many companies wanted to take, but couldn’t, so the attendance of the business community was also very large.
The game was held in the largest hotel in the city, in a hall where hundreds of chairs could be put down, and all the seats were reserved for rich people, so the general public could only watch it through a live broadcast.
The hotel is a property of the Ying Hui Group, but the process was arranged by someone sent by Master Liu, and Wei Shicheng did not interfere.
Tao Yuan rested in the hotel lounge, where he was alone with Wei Shicheng. Since he wasn’t busy, they hugged and made love to each other. But he thought it was quite normal for people in love, aren’t they all like this?
After cleaning up in the bathroom, Tao Yuan came out to put on his pants and complained to Wei Shicheng, “I told you not to get them in there, it’s so troublesome to clean them up.”
Wei Shicheng lifted his chin and kissed him on the slightly curled mouth, then went to open the door. He had already explained to the staff not to disturb him, but they still came to ring the doorbell.
Tao Yuan put on his pants and went into the bathroom. His face was red and hot, so he needed to rinse it with cold water. He could not go out to meet people.
Tao Yuan looked at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”.
“A call from abroad, it’s not a big deal,” Wei Shicheng said.
“If you’re in a hurry, just go. I’ll go back after playing chess with your uncle.” said Tao Yuan.
“It’s okay, it’s already late, I will deal with it tomorrow.” Such an important occasion, of course Wei Shicheng had to stay behind.
Tao Yuan could only allow him.
When the time came, Tao Yuan and Wei Shicheng walked out of the lounge together and went to the hall that had been arranged.
All the seats in the hall were full, more than a few hundred people, but not crowded. A little distance was maintained between each seat to allow everyone to watch as comfortably as possible.
On the front wall was a large screen through which the people below could watch the game being played. This scale is no smaller than the highest level Go tournament.
Liu Wangyang, who was walking behind them, suddenly saw Liu Xiujie standing at the side and stopped to ask.
“Xiujie? Why aren’t you in school, you have class today, right?”
“Uncle,” said Liu Xiujie with downcast eyes, “I came to see Grandpa play.”
“Then you follow me.” Liu Wangyang hurriedly said, and quickened his pace.
When Tao Yuan was about to reach the lobby, he saw Su Yongfu, who was waiting for him, so he went over and greeted him.
When Su Yongfu looked at Tao Yuan, he couldn’t help but sigh, and with a worried look on his face, he couldn’t help but ask, “Have you ever played Go with Master Liu before?”
“No.” replied Tao Yuan, “This is the first time.”
Su Yongfu sighed again, shook his head, and said, “It’s too late to say anything now.”
“I’ll do my best.” Tao Yuan smiled and walked into the hall.
After Tao Yuan and Master Liu were seated on both sides of the table, both lawyers took out the contract and placed it in front of them. No matter who lost, it was useless for them to go back on the contract, as the court could enforce it.
Only after the contract was signed did the staff set up the chess board.
After the official start, the black and white pieces are placed on the chess board, and after the pawns are arranged, whose strategy is better? Whether it was an opportunity to take advantage of a situation or a deep ambush. It was not only a matter of intelligence, but also a skillful control of the art of war and planning.
On the small Go board, it seems as if there are thousands of horses and knights lined up, and the people who hold the Go pieces are the masters of the army. They commanded the generals on their side, led the soldiers to conquer the other side’s camp, and when the other side attacked, they had to defend their camp to death and to not be conquered. The game reflected the profound culture of a country for thousands of years.
Among the audience, there were some people who didn’t know anything about Go and were just watching the fun. But most of them knew about Go. There were fights between the two, fights that made people want to clap their hands in admiration, and fights between attack and defense that kept people on their toes.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the scene had to be kept quiet and no discussions were allowed, someone would have been unable to resist talking in marvel to the person next to him.
Wei Shicheng sat in the front row. Not only could he see the Go game on the screen, he could also clearly see Tao Yuan’s face, whom he never took his eyes off from.
Two hours later, Tao Yuan took away his opponent’s pieces for the last time, and finally smiled on his serious face. He looked up at Master Liu and said, “I won this game, admit it.”
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Master Liu’s forehead as he stared at the board, unable to believe that he had lost the game.
The moderator announced that Tao Yuan was the winner. Tao Yuan then stood up.
The audience who had been shocked for a long time came back to their senses and started a heated discussion about the game.The strategy and reversal technique was truly frightening.
Wei Shicheng smiled. He already knew that Tao Yuan’s Go level was very high, but he didn’t expect it to be this high.
Tao Yuan was going to be interviewed, so he left first and went to the press area in the back.
Master Liu supported the table and tried to stand up, but his legs went limp and he sat back down.
“Father!” Liu Wangyang rushed to help him.
“Just a little bit, just a little bit more and I would have won!” Master Liu was very unhappy and pounded his fist on the table. He didn’t expect that he would actually lose and even lose so badly.
Liu Wangyang’s face was also not good. That piece of ancestral land, how many people were jealous, wanting it for themselves. The Liu family has kept it for so many years, and even in their wildest dreams, they never imagined that it would be given away for nothing.
But things have become a foregone conclusion, and he could only comfort the old man Liu, telling him not to get too angry, or else he would lose more than he gained if his body broke down.
“Su Lao, Su Lao, Su Lao?”
“Huh? What is it?” Su Yongfu kept looking at the screen out of fascination, his eyes full of incredulity, and was called by the person next to him for a long time before he came back to his senses.
“What do you think of this game?”
The people around Su Yongfu were all looking at him, waiting for him to make a comment, but Su Yongfu couldn’t say anything for a long time. Today, he watched Tao Yuan play against an expert who was even stronger than him as a bystander, and he realized that Tao Yuan had lost to him on purpose.
The chess game in front of us also seems to be a fierce fight, and the two are evenly matched. But if you look at it from a third party’s point of view, you’ll see that everything is under his control, and whether he wins or loses is up to him.
Su Yongfu’s hand couldn’t help but tremble, he thought, “This is no longer a degree of genius, but a monster, isn’t it?”
