The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 161 Recognizing a Godfather

Hearing this name, Sun Li's face changed color with fright.

She might not be worldly, but she had heard of Jiang Zhenlin's name.

One of the four young masters of Jiangcheng, and the Jiang family has always been known as the richest family in Jiangcheng.

Although there are no specific statistics, the existence of such a saying indicates that the Jiang family must have reached that level.

Sun Li sobered up instantly. All her dreams of romance with a domineering CEO could go to hell.

It would truly be a ghost if someone like Jiang Zhenlin took a fancy to her.

"You have a grudge against Chen Xiao? So you just want to use me to get revenge on him?"

Sun Li's IQ suddenly came online.

Jiang Zhenlin shook his head in denial. "Using you is out of the question. I just want to tell you that we have a common enemy."

Sun Li looked blank. "You mean, the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Just because I have a feud with Chen Xiao, you're being so nice to me?"

This reason was too far-fetched and a bit unconvincing.

But, that was the truth.

Jiang Zhenlin initially approached Sun Li purely because he wanted to disgust Chen Xiao. He just wanted to play around, mainly because he felt that Sun Li had no value to exploit.

But just now, after he noticed the old Taoist's gaze towards Sun Li, he suddenly found her value.

He asked with a sneer, "Chen Xiao treated you like that. Don't you want revenge?"

Sun Li gritted her teeth and said viciously, "I wish he were dead, in the eighteenth level of hell right now!"

Jiang Zhenlin smiled. "Now, your chance for revenge has come."

Sun Li's face suddenly filled with excitement. "Are you going to help me deal with Chen Xiao?"

Jiang Zhenlin shook his head again. "No, no, no. With our strength, wanting to deal with Chen Xiao isn't very realistic."

Sun Li was shocked. Has Chen Xiao become so powerful now? Even someone of Jiang Zhenlin's level can't deal with him?

Thinking of this, her heart sank again.

What kind of person did she abandon?

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Jiang Zhenlin's previous words and asked abruptly, "Even you can't deal with him, then who can deal with him? Where is the chance for revenge?"

Jiang Zhenlin raised his eyebrows and looked towards the old Taoist's bedroom. "The only one who can deal with Chen Xiao is him!"

"What? He can deal with Chen Xiao?"

Sun Li asked in disbelief.

The old Taoist looked like a beggar. How could he deal with someone Jiang Zhenlin couldn't handle?

Sun Li was very skeptical.

Jiang Zhenlin said coldly, "Otherwise, why do you think I invited him over? Do you think I'm just bored? Besides, he seems to be interested in you. Next, you should know what to do, right?"

Sun Li wasn't stupid. On the contrary, she was very shrewd in some aspects.

So, of course, she knew what Jiang Zhenlin meant.

But thinking of that dirty old Taoist, Sun Li's whole body, from head to toe, was rejecting the idea.

"Jiang, Young Master Jiang… why don't you find someone else? This is too difficult."

Sun Li said cautiously.

Jiang Zhenlin's face darkened. "Sun Li, do you think I'm discussing this with you? You've been living in my place and spending my money these past few days. You can't expect to pay no price at all, right?"

"And as long as you serve him well, not only can you avenge yourself, but I will also immediately transfer this house to your name. Think about it. I'll give you ten seconds to choose!"

Sun Li couldn't help but shudder, because she knew very well that Jiang Zhenlin's so-called choice only had two options.

Either serve the old Taoist, or die.

In the end, under Jiang Zhenlin's coercion and enticement, Sun Li slowly walked towards the bedroom and opened the door.

Jiang Zhenlin sneered. "That's right…"

Soon, indescribable sounds came from the bedroom.

Jiang Zhenlin was getting a little worked up listening to it. He suspected that the old Taoist had taken some medicine, otherwise how could he be so fierce?

More than two hours later, the old Taoist opened the bedroom door, draped his tattered Taoist robe over his shoulders, and walked out with vigorous steps.

The robe was not tied, revealing the sturdy muscles on his body.

Jiang Zhenlin was secretly shocked. This old Taoist looked to be eighty or ninety years old, but he didn't expect him to be in such good shape, even more fit than him! He really looked like an old immortal!

Following closely behind the old Taoist, Sun Li also walked out.

Her face was full of spring, her eyes were charming, completely different from her reluctant look before she went in.

At this time, Sun Li looked satisfied, completely satisfied from body to mind.

She had completed a transformation because she understood a truth.

Appearance and age are all fleeting clouds, completely insignificant in the face of true skill!

Jiang Zhenlin was directly dumbfounded. "Damn, is this woman that slutty? She can even handle this old Taoist?"

"She's really born with a charming nature. I should have tasted her first!"

Jiang Zhenlin was lost in thought when the old Taoist seemed to see through his thoughts.

The old Taoist pointed at Sun Li, stared at Jiang Zhenlin, and said, word by word, "She, mine."

Jiang Zhenlin immediately dismissed his wayward thoughts and nodded obsequiously. "Understood, understood!"

Sun Li smiled charmingly, winking at Jiang Zhenlin, her eyes full of triumph.

The old Taoist sat on the sofa like a warlord. With a wave of his hand, Sun Li obediently snuggled into his arms, serving him water and fruit.

"Taoist Master, are you satisfied?"

Jiang Zhenlin asked carefully.

The old Taoist said indifferently, "So-so."

Jiang Zhenlin quickly said, "Taoist Master, if you have any other requests, please feel free to mention them. I will do my best to fulfill them."

The old Taoist thought for a moment. "I don't need anything for now."

Jiang Zhenlin asked again, "What about Chen Xiao's matter?"

The old Taoist glared at him. "What's the rush? I'll notify you when I'm ready."

"Yes, yes!"

Jiang Zhenlin quickly nodded in agreement, full of fear and respect.

He had only known this old Taoist for a few days. After his sister was forced to kneel at the school gate that day, he vowed to kill Chen Xiao and avenge his sister.

That night, he took a group of his cronies to a nightclub to drown his sorrows and vent his anger.

This old Taoist approached him and said he could help him get revenge.

He didn't believe it at first, but after the old Taoist effortlessly turned all his cronies into ashes, he knew that Chen Xiao's death was near.

Besides wanting to use the old Taoist's hand to help him get revenge, he was also very envious of the old Taoist's skills.

"Taoist Master, I have a request. I want to become your disciple. I wonder what you think?"

The old Taoist snorted coldly. "Your aptitude is too poor. You're not worthy of being my disciple. If you're willing to become my adopted son, I can teach you a few self-defense techniques."

Jiang Zhenlin hesitated. He was the eldest son of the Jiang family. It would be a bit of a disgrace to the Jiang family to have an old Taoist as his adopted father.

But thinking of the humiliation he had suffered, his eyes filled with anger, and he immediately made a decision.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed!

"Father is above, please accept this son's obeisance!"
