Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife-Chapter 510: Netizens are Boiling Over Again!

```

President Liu was now being held up in the air, virtually unable to speak; as soon as he opened his mouth, countless curses would spew forth.

As the person at the pinnacle of the Go community in Hua Country, he was not only tasked with the development of Go but also concerned with the international status of Hua Country’s Go.

"Who do you think is behind this incident?"

Grandpa Bai asked curiously, "If there were any issues, they would have emerged before today’s competition. Why wait until Li Shuo is hospitalized for the opponent to start making moves? Don’t you find that odd?"

"There is something off about it. If I had to name someone, I would say it’s Yamada’s Han Ye. That old man is very scheming and excels at using others’ strengths against them, fulfilling his intentions through the hands of others."

President Liu said seriously, "He once had a disagreement with a Go player and ended up instigating a fight between that player and someone else at a banquet, resulting in a brain injury that hospitalized the player, who then could no longer engage in work requiring high mental capacity."

"Hmmph, that’s all he’s capable of."

Grandpa Bai sneered. He had never cared for such underhanded tricks; he preferred overt strategies, where even if the opponent knew there was a pitfall ahead, they had no choice but to jump in.

"Song Yun, what are your thoughts?"

Song Yun slouched in his chair, gesturing with a wave of his hand, "Since the opponent’s demand is to change the competition rules, then let’s change them. He likes to use leverage against others, right? Then return the favor using their own methods.

It’s certain that the Pickle Country will lose this time, but considering their national situation, they wouldn’t want to lose too disgracefully, right?"

"So, we just announce that each country will send out their top Go player for the competition; a best-of-three rounds to decide the winner should suffice."

Song Yun smiled and added, "With Li Shuo hospitalized, Han Qi will most likely be facing off against Yamada tomorrow. Such a young talent losing three rounds in a row would probably be harshly criticized, right? That would be digging the future of Pickle Country’s Go. Could Li Shuo still side with Han Ye after this?"

"Good!"

President Liu clapped his hands together, exclaiming excitedly, "Even though this might damage my reputation as well, it would exacerbate the trust issues between Pickle Country and Yamada! Once cracks appear, reconciliation will be impossible!"

"Right, Han Ye thinks he holds a winning ticket, doesn’t he? Let’s play a few rounds against him tomorrow to show him that in the face of true strength, all his schemes and plots are nothing! Choosing your format is the ultimate protection for them!"

President Liu could not contain his laughter now. He immediately called the staff to announce the new competition format and to decide on the Go player representing Hua Country.

...

"How could this happen!"

In the hospital, Han Meng stood up abruptly as he witnessed the uproar online culminating in such a result!

"What’s wrong?"

Li Shuo asked weakly.

"President Liu couldn’t withstand the pressure and has changed the competition rules..."

Han Qi said with an awkward look, "He believes each country should select one Go player as their representative, and the competition will be a best-of-three rounds, but all three rounds must be played, just to provide a better viewing experience for the audience..."

"Let me see!"

Li Shuo climbed up from the hospital bed, snatched the mobile phone, and meticulously read the new official announcement from the Hua Country Go authority, his heart aching!

"Han Ye, you bastard deserve to die!"

Li Shuo could hardly contain his rage. It was clear to anyone with eyes that this mess was stirred up by that despicable old man, and with this change, Pickle Country, already at a disadvantage, would suffer an embarrassing loss!

No... It would be more embarrassing than any match in history! Dammit!

This is driving them to their demise!

You have your clever strategies, I have my ladder over the wall, but the feelings of the Pickle Country players were never considered.

```

If it hadn’t been for his decent recovery, the person playing tomorrow would be Han Qi!

They! They want to sever the lifeline of Pickle Country’s Go!

Li Shuo would never agree to such a thing happening to Han Qi.

"I will go into battle tomorrow!"

"Mr. Li!"

At this moment, Han Qi was already on the verge of tears, his hand tightly clasped with Li Shuo’s.

Because they both knew all too well that if Li Shuo went back, at best he would get scolded so badly he couldn’t leave his house, at worst he could only apologize with his death!

"You must! Carry on the glory of Pickle Country’s Go!"

Li Shuo, with eyes full of reluctance, said, "Also, stay away from Cherry Blossom Country’s people in the future! They’re no good! A bunch of bastards who only satisfy their own interests!"

"Alright!"

...

Inside the hotel, Yamada excitedly looked at the tournament system, smiling as he said, "Teacher, our strategy worked, President Liu had no choice but to make changes, and this time, we will definitely win!"

"Heh, acting is just like playing Go, think three steps ahead for every move, ensure all is accounted for before you proceed."

A sly smile played on Han Ye’s face. "It’s just that the thunder didn’t strike Li Shuo this time; otherwise, after he returns, he would’ve been scolded to death, saving me a competitor."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think we care so much about setting up a new branch? Actually, we’re all using this as a stepping stone to plot for the International Go Association presidency."

Han Ye said indifferently, "The old president is retiring this year, and President Liu from Hua Country, being the most formidable competitor, must be taken down. This strategy is killing two birds with one stone!"

"Teacher, you’re brilliant! Now that Li Shuo is ailing, he will probably need to recover for a long time once back home, definitely unable to contend with you for the presidency!"

"Hehe, learn more from this."

Han Ye leisurely lit his tobacco pipe, took a deep inhale, and said, "Tell your big brother back home to start working on this matter. Once I’m in that position, what Hua Country Go Association, what national players, they’re insignificant!"

"Teacher, your foresight is admirable, I will go and contact big brother right away!"

Yamada walked away with a smile brimming on his face.

Han Ye sat alone in the room, puffing on his pipe, the thick smoke enveloping his face, like an evil spirit lurking in the fog, waiting for the right moment to strike!

"Li Shuo, by now you must know the full story, it’s up to you to choose, come deliver yourself to death, or let me cut off your future, make your choice wisely!"

Meanwhile, netizens felt very puzzled about President Liu’s new statement; they were just ranting, and President Liu actually changed it?

No, that’s not it!

They just wanted to stand on a moral high ground, to criticize others and vent their dissatisfaction with life!

They didn’t really want to see Hua Country’s Go lose!

And some professionals had already pointed out that among the three countries, Han Ye was the strongest, and in tomorrow’s battle, President Liu would undoubtedly lose!

This was like a bomb dropped in the midst of the crowd, and the netizens were in an uproar once again!
