Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife-Chapter 514: Leave After the Deed is Done
In the face of being the second player, Song Yun surprisingly stuck with his own set of strategies, which caused concern.
Little Han Ye hadn’t expected that Song Yun was completely inflexible, seemingly knowing only one way to play the game: centralization.
"Are you kidding me?"
Little Han Ye’s face turned frosty; his opponent was no longer just underestimating him but was totally disregarding him as a person!
"Go on, what are you hesitating for?"
Cradling his chin with one hand, Song Yun spoke indifferently with an air of boredom, "Haven’t you heard the saying, "One brilliant move commands the whole game"?"
"I..."
Little Han Ye felt as though he had been hit with a dimension-reducing strike, yet he couldn’t figure out what Song Yun was really up to.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down and then continued to play the game.
But the more he played, the stranger it felt. How did it happen that in an instant, his pieces on the board seemed to be dwindling?
Looking at Song Yun, with each move he made, he managed to capture several of his pieces.
Attrition!
The strategy he had originally devised was now being used by Song Yun against him!
A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead!
He had underestimated his opponent, thinking his youthful age didn’t come with extensive combat experience!
So, after losing the first game, he mistook it for not having given his all.
But this was the second game!
He had used all the tricks up his sleeve!
How come...how come he still felt so utterly powerless?
He held a piece in his hand but hesitated to place it on the board.
As the thinking time ran out, the referee signaled to Little Han Ye to make a move quickly, or he would be judged as forfeiting the match!
Little Han Ye acted as if he hadn’t heard the referee and, after carefully organizing his thoughts, he let out a sigh and dropped the piece onto the board.
"???"
He resigned???
The match had just passed the twenty-three-minute mark!
If you exclude the ten minutes Little Han Ye spent thinking, it could be said that a high-level match had concluded in just thirteen minutes!
Two to zero!
No matter the outcome of the third game, Hua Country had won!
Instantly, the audience erupted into excitement; Song Yun had truly given them a huge surprise!
"Song Jun...your strength...is even greater than your senior...I’ve lost..."
Little Han Ye seemed to have aged ten years all at once, slumping in his chair.
He didn’t even know at which point he had started to gradually fall behind!
So bewilderingly, he suddenly realized he was only a few moves away from losing the match!
It was over!
This time they had joined forces with the Kimchi Country to gain legitimacy, but it now seemed like Sakura Country suffered the heaviest loss!
In the competition, both they and Kimchi Country had one win and one loss each, but privately, Kimchi Country would definitely not be getting close to Sakura Country easily in the future.
A resounding defeat!
"Do you want to play the third game?"
Song Yun asked coldly.

"No need, no matter how the game continues it would all be in vain. Your strength is there for all to see, and now there is no master who would dare claim they are confident in defeating you."
Han Ye managed a bitter smile and said, "This time, I came in too much of a hurry... If... If I had done a little more research, I should have known there was a new star like you rising in Hua Country’s Go circles. We’ve become just a stepping stone for you!"
"Those with ill intentions."
Song Yun said these words and then left.
Han Ye walked back to the resting area designated for players from the land of cherry blossoms in a daze. Watching Yamada’s anxious demeanor, he suddenly felt the world spinning and heard Yamada’s voice calling out to him.
I’m a bit tired...
Better have a good sleep...
A Go competition that resulted in two masters being hospitalized one after the other – this was no small matter!
Even though Go is a game of mental skill, it shouldn’t be played to this extent!
With Han Ye hospitalized, reporters swarmed around, blocking the place completely.
The doctor revealed that the patient had lost his will to live, and if he did not awaken within forty-eight hours, he might become vegetative!
This news shocked the netizens!
A game of Go resulting in a loss of life – it was truly a first from ancient times till now!
As a result, Song Yun’s status in the world of Go rose astronomically, like riding a rocket!
The netizens also understood why the president of the association had originally set up the competition the way he did; it was to save face for the cherry blossom and kimchi countries, not allowing them to lose too terribly.
After all, if you sent out a powerful player like Song Yun right from the start, you wouldn’t even have had the pleasure of touching the game pieces before having to buy a ticket home!
"Song Yun, I really want to thank you for this competition!"
The president of the association excitedly grabbed Song Yun’s hand in the office and said, "With this, we have sufficient time to cultivate the young players, until they grow into towering trees!"
"That’s what I should do."
Song Yun smiled and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. There are a lot of reporters outside, and I don’t want to be surrounded and bombarded with questions."
"Leave through the back door!"
The president of the association called a staff member and personally escorted Song Yun out secretly!
Watching Song Yun’s departing figure, the president felt immensely gratified. What could be said about Song Yun? After the deed is done, he withdraws and hides his capabilities and achievements!
He takes on all the competitions, and throws all the limelight to me – truly a great guy!
"President, having led Hua Country’s Go players to consecutive victories over the masters from the cherry blossom and kimchi countries, what are your plans moving forward?"
"President, where did you first come across Song Yun, and what made you invite him to participate in the competition?"
"President, with the chairman of the International Go Association retiring this year, are you considering running for the position?"
As soon as the president descended the stairs, he saw reporters flocking towards him, bombarding him with a barrage of questions.
He wasn’t flustered in the slightest at that moment, maintaining a scholarly demeanor that was flawless to anyone’s eye.
He gently pressed down with his hand and said, "One at a time, please!"
...
By the time Song Yun returned to the Bai Family residence, Ye Qingqing and the others were already prepared to leave.
Before Song Yun left for Magic Capital, the old master from the Bai Family had specifically called him to the study. No one knew what they discussed, but Song Yun came out with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The grand motorcade headed for the airport, and it was only after boarding the private plane that Song Yun felt truly at peace.
The world of fame and fortune, a single misstep in Forty-nine City would lead to complete ruination!
This trip exposed him to the cunning strategies of some sly foxes, but these ploys were nipped in the bud due to constant scrutiny from above.
As for the last words the old master shared with him, he etched them deeply in his mind.
One must not become arrogant due to favoritism, nor cease to grow.
These twelve words spoken by the old master signified that there might have been some changes in the situation, and there were more challenges waiting for him to tackle ahead.
But when he returned to Magic Capital, it wouldn’t be easy for those reaching tendrils to grab at him!
"Heading home!"
