A member of the chess association remembered that the person in charge had just said that there was another clause in the charter that needed to be revised, and asked hurriedly.

The person in charge replied calmly:

"The second point is... the Secretary-General said in his message just now that 'players are allowed to use code names to participate in the competition, which can ensure the security of the participants' personal information.'"

When the person in charge finished speaking, everyone was stunned:

Who participates in a competition not for fame?

In the original competition, the first prize was 8 yuan. Compared with the usual investment of the students learning chess this time, the return on investment was frighteningly low.

Moreover, there is only one first place. There are 180 contestants in this session. Selecting one contestant from all the cities in southern Taiwan is more difficult than getting into Tsinghua University through the college entrance examination.

If that’s the case, why are there so many people flocking to learn chess?

It's not about achieving success and fame. To put it in a high-sounding way, it's about realizing one's own dreams. In reality, it's actually about becoming famous, for money, fame and fortune.

The people in the Nancheng Chess Association all joined based on their own strength. They have always looked down on those who play chess on the streets and in the parks. They always think that they are pirates, setting up stalls, and using petty tricks of the common people. Only their Chess Association was born from the regular army and is the elite of the chess world.

Following a chain of contempt, people who learn chess are proud to join the chess association.

Every industry has its own thresholds and barriers. If you want to jump into the siege, the cake is so big, and people in the city are afraid that you will come in and divide their vested interests, so you can't join the Chess Association just because you want to.

The fastest way to join the chess association is to participate in various competitions, increase your own fame, and increase your negotiating qualifications.

Now, Mayor Wu asked them to change the rules to "allow contestants to use code names to participate in the competition"?

Doesn’t that conflict with the original intention of many people learning chess?

President Zhou sneered:

"Haha, this one is easy to fix, just change it. But who would be willing to participate in the competition using a code name?"

President Zhou guessed right.

After the clerk modified the competition rules, they sent the rules to the mobile phones of all registrants, and almost no one changed their names.

Just as they were about to adjourn the meeting, they received a request from a contestant to modify his application and submit the code name "Lin Heitu".

Lin Heitu?

The person in charge almost fainted when he heard the name.

What a down-to-earth code name!

There are many influential figures in the chess arena, such as "Prince of Land Chess", "Xu Xian", and "God of War Zhou", which are all code names given to them by chess fans, but no one has ever heard of a down-to-earth one like Lin Heitu.

The competition will start the day after tomorrow, and only one contestant has made a revision. The person in charge smiled, patted the clerk on the shoulder, and said:

"It seems that the suggestion made by Mayor Wu really has no practical significance. The original rules have long been deeply rooted in people's minds."

The clerk also replied with a smile:

"That's right. In the chess world, no one has ever heard of someone hiding their identity."

Lin Heitu, I've never heard of this code name before. He is probably just an unknown person and not worthy of attention.

Ye family.

It was getting late, so everyone put away the cans and boxes in the yard and sorted out everything.

He Shuirong dragged the still a little excited He Zimo towards the car.

Mr. Zheng also flicked his sleeves and left the Ye family residence.

Bai Fan and Daiyu were the only ones left in the yard.

Daiyu was about to go back to her room to pack her clothes when Bai Fan called out to her from behind:

"Xiaoyu, is that willow tree in your class?"

Daiyu felt a little strange. Her grandmother's expression and eyes looked different when she looked at the willow tree tonight. As a bystander, she saw it very clearly.

"Correct."

Daiyu didn't know what her grandmother wanted to say, so she just walked back obediently and sat down on the stone bench next to the white sail.

Bai Fan sat on the stone bench, his face somewhat solemn, and then asked:

"Isn't his father in Shuangxi Town?"

Daiyu thought about how she had never seen Yang Liushu's father when she went to Li Lifen's shop, and he seemed a little sad when he talked about his father last time, "I wonder how my father is doing in Myanmar now?"

Daiyu replied:

"Yes, his father is not in Shuangxi Town, and... he should be in Myanmar now. The last time Liu Shu helped take pictures, he said that the camera was a birthday gift his father bought for him."

When Bai Fan heard the word Myanmar, her expression suddenly changed. It was possible that she had seen that face before, and it was very likely that he was his father.

She said:

"Next time we'll ask Liu Shu about his father's specific whereabouts, and then ask if there are any other relatives in the family."

Daiyu saw that Bai Fan's expression was becoming more and more serious. She had a bad feeling and asked:

"Grandma, have you ever seen Willow Tree Father?"

Bai Fan didn't dare to jump to conclusion before the matter was confirmed, because that area was too sensitive.

After a long while, Bai Fan slowly spoke:

"On the other side of our creek is Myanmar. A few years ago, there was a boss named Wang on the other side who was seriously ill. He had a tumor in his body. He had surgery and is in the recovery stage.

Our town borders theirs, and many jade business owners pass through our side when they leave the country.

On the other side, Boss Wang learned about me from the jade bosses.

At that time, visas were not as strict as they are now. I went there on a work visa and helped their boss Wang with his health..."

Bai Fan took a sip of tea and continued:

"When I passed by, someone covered my head with a black hood. I don't know how long the car drove, but I could hear the wind blowing in my ears. Then I heard the middleman say to me, 'We're here.'

Then a burly man came over to take off my hood and asked me to feel Boss Wang's pulse...

He was sitting in that office at that time. The walls were covered with banknotes, and I didn't dare to look at them.

But when I was taking his pulse, a middle-aged man who came to change Boss Wang's carpet looked exactly like the willow tree.

He also saw me at that time and asked me to lift my feet, then spread the coins flat under my feet, saying that the original coins were worn out from being stepped on and needed to be replaced.

That person also spoke with a Chinese accent. After he finished speaking, the burly man in black stepped forward and blocked his mouth..."

Last time, after saving Lu Fang by the stream, Daiyu went back to check the current situation in Myanmar. From Bai Fan's description, it was probably similar to what she knew.

“Grandma, are you saying that it is very likely that Yang Liushu’s father was taken to the cyber fraud area?”

Bai Fan nodded, and then said:

"This is just my guess. I'll talk to Liu Shu more about it later to get a comprehensive understanding of the information."

After saying this, Bai Fan looked at the clock on the wall. It was getting late, so he asked Daiyu to go wash up.

The next morning, the autumn air was even stronger. After a night's rest, Daiyu was full of energy.

Early in the morning, when I arrived at school, the loudspeakers on campus played announcements in a loop;

[Dear students, please prepare your stools and gather at the playground. Today, the school has invited the beautiful student Lin Xi from Nancheng No. 1 Middle School to share her learning experience with everyone.]
