Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Beidaihe has a long history and was a popular resort for high-level officials as early as the beginning of the last century. It was not until later reconstruction that it became the famous Beidaihe Sanatorium, which houses many domestic sanatoriums.
The next day, at 9:30 in the morning, at the seaside park RV camp.
“Ali, do you know where Grandpa lives?”
“Of course, I used to come here often in the summer. It’s about ten minutes from our current location.”
“In that case, let’s tidy up and go to Grandpa’s place!”
Zhou Chao instructed Lin Wu to pack up the RV. After packing up, they drove directly to where Old Master Xiao was.
The sanatorium where Old Master Xiao was located was at the foot of Lianfeng Mountain, surrounded by greenery and tranquility.
As they arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, the guards stopped them.
“Hello, this place is not open to the public. May I ask what business you have here?”
A guard in a black coat walked to the driver’s side and asked politely.
“Just a moment!” Lin Wu said politely and walked to the back.
The guard standing crooked his head and looked into the RV, but unfortunately, he didn’t see anything.
“Boss!” Lin Wu quickly walked to the sofa area in the back.
Zhou Chao, who was feeding Jiang Li fruit, turned around with a puzzled look, “What’s wrong?”
“Boss, we’ve arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, but they won’t let us in this time!”
Zhou Chao nodded and turned to Jiang Li, asking, “Can you call Grandpa and let him know!”
“No problem, show this to him!” Jiang Li grabbed a nearby bag and pulled out a small booklet, handing it to Lin Wu.
Zhou Chao glanced at it, seeming to be some sort of identification.
Lin Wu took the booklet and went back to the driver’s seat.
“Sorry for the wait!” He handed the booklet that Jiang Li gave him to the guard.
For the top-level sanatorium, Lin Wu understood the situation, so the necessary respect was indispensable.
After taking the booklet, the guard glanced at it briefly, told Lin Wu to wait, and then walked to the guard post with the booklet.
Through the window, Lin Wu could vaguely see the guard talking on the phone, realizing that he was confirming their identity.
After waiting for about three or four minutes, he saw the guard coming back with the booklet.
“Hello, please keep your credentials. May I ask which building you’re going to?
I need to register!”
“We’re going to Building 8!” Lin Wu remembered the information about where Old Master Xiao lived when he chatted with Jiang Li earlier.
After confirming the information, the guard lifted the restrictions, and Lin Wu drove the RV into the sanatorium.
The entire sanatorium was quite large. Although there were only about twenty or thirty small buildings, they were spaced quite far apart, and with some facilities, it took them three or four minutes to drive to Building 8 by the seaside.
“Wow, this building is quite big, almost as big as our house!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but marvel at the small building in front of him as he got out of the car.
“Although I hate to admit it, it’s still a bit worse compared to home!” Jiang Li said as she followed. After all, she had been here many times and was familiar with the situation.
After taking a look around at the gate, the layout around was quite good.
“Let’s go, Brother Chao, let’s give Grandpa a surprise!” Holding Zhou Chao’s hand, Jiang Li walked towards the small building.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw two sturdy men practicing martial arts.
Seeing Zhou Chao and the others walking in, they stopped and hurried over to greet them when they recognized their faces.
“Young Master Zhou, Miss Jiang, what brings you here?” The speaker was the leader responsible for Old Master Xiao’s security. They had met several times before when Zhou Chao was in Jingdu.
“We’re just here to have some fun. We happened to be in Beidaihe and heard that Grandpa was vacationing here, so we came to visit!” Zhou Chao smiled faintly. He had heard a bit about this leader from Old Master Xiao himself; someone who had been tempered in blood and fire.
“The boss is playing chess in the backyard. Let me take you there!”
“It’s alright, we’ll find our own way.”
The security leader didn’t say much more, just nodded!
Then Zhou Chao and his companions walked in, exploring until they found the way to the backyard.
As soon as they came out of the house, they heard Old Master Xiao’s loud voice shouting incessantly!
“No, this move just now doesn’t count. I made a mistake. I’ll replay it!”
“Lao Xiao, you’ve regretted three times already. As the saying goes, three strikes and you’re out. This time, no more changes!”
“I don’t care, I want to replay it. It’s all because your words distracted me!”
“Fine, fine, fine. This is the last time. No more changes allowed!”
“I, Xiao, will never change my mind again. Whoever changes is a coward!”
Listening to their conversation, Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li beside him in surprise and whispered, “Why didn’t Grandpa and I play chess like this before?” Jiang Li gave Zhou Chao a direct look, “What’s wrong, you want Grandpa to act childish in front of you?”
