Chapter 556 A Promise
Just as the girl said, their Meng family is a noble family, spanning the military, political and business realms, and is extremely powerful. Since she was born, everything she has done has gone smoothly, and others have always asked her for help, but she has never asked others for help.
She is conceited that she has seen all kinds of life and believes that what people want in life is nothing more than money, power, fame and strength.
But the strange martial arts master in front of him didn't care about all this.
He disliked the fact that the Meng family's money came from illegal sources and did not want any money.
He believed that the Meng family abused their power for personal gain and did not want power.
He didn't need the publicity the Meng family gave him after he cured his grandfather. He didn't want fame.
As for strength, as he is a congenital master, the Meng family has no right to mention "strength" in front of him.
Eighteen years of life experience were shattered into pieces by Jiang Li in just a few words.
"My little brother, if I say that after I recover from my injuries, I will work diligently for the people and govern with integrity, can you help me once?" the old man asked tentatively. He has seen countless people and believes that there is no one he cannot see through.
Today he met.
Jiang Li was the first person he couldn't see through.
He saw that the other person had an indifferent expression and his eyes revealed no emotion, so he didn't know what the other person wanted.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Li asked with a smile: "Isn't this your responsibility?"
"And if you make such a promise, doesn't that mean you haven't done this before?"
The old man was speechless. He really didn't know what Jiang Li wanted.
Jiang Li seemed to see through the old man's thoughts and said, "I don't want anything. As I said before, in my eyes, you are no different from the patients in the hospital. Status is not a factor that distinguishes people for me."
"That……"
"If you can live up to your promise to work diligently for the people and govern with integrity, I can tell you how to heal your wounds."
The old man said solemnly: "I promise."
Jiang Li nodded: "I hope you are a person who keeps your word."
"In as short as half a month or as long as three months, you will receive an order from the highest ruler of your country to contact a mysterious organization that will cure your illness."
"What mysterious organization?" The girl was puzzled, but the old man held the girl's hand and signaled her not to ask more questions.
"Thank you, sir, for telling me this." The old man bowed and thanked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li sighed and left with Wen Qing'er.
…
"Grandpa, this person is so weird. How come you are the same as the patients in the hospital?" The girl couldn't understand Jiang Li's behavior.
“It’s the same.”
The old man sees things much more clearly than the young girl.
His eyes were blurry, as if he was recalling something from long ago: "He is a weird person, but he is a man worthy of admiration. He reminds me of myself when I first entered politics."
"After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, I had forgotten my original intention of being a good official who was dedicated to serving the people. It was only later that some relatives came to me for help, and I used my small privileges to help them, allowing them to have a higher position than ordinary people. This is how the current Meng family was gradually formed."
"Even now when I think about it, Grandpa still hasn't figured out where the problem occurred."
The old man put his hands behind his back and walked towards the car.
"Grandpa wants to be alone and quiet, thinking about what his original intention was."
The girl was silent and fell into deep thought.
…
"Senior Jiang, you don't seem very happy?" Jiang Li's emotions were too obvious for Wen Qing'er to notice easily.
"I'm not unhappy, I just feel helpless about the reality."
"The Mutual Aid Association has already begun to reach cooperation with the national level. The headquarters of the Mutual Aid Association is here, and the old man is the ruler of this area. If I am right, the highest ruler of your world will come forward in person and let the old man be responsible for the contact work of the Mutual Aid Association."
"The Mutual Aid Association will definitely give the old man a favor and cure his injuries without my help. I just took advantage of him and asked for his promise."
"Do you know what this means?"
"What?" Wen Qing'er didn't expect Jiang Li to be thinking about this kind of question. This level of thinking was obviously not something she could reach.
"When you reach a certain position, benefits will come to you, whether you like it or not. This is the origin of privilege, and it can also be regarded as a manifestation of the law of the jungle."
Wen Qing'er nodded, not quite understanding. She felt that she understood, but not as deeply as Jiang Li felt.
Jiang Li then wiped away the gloom on his face and said with a smile: "Overall, the cooperation between the Mutual Aid Association and the government will improve medical care, social security, industry and other aspects. Your country will get better and better. The old man is just the first person to reap the dividends. I just spoke from my heart. You just need to listen to it. There is no need to think deeply about it."
…
When Jiang Li returned with fried dough sticks, tofu pudding and tea eggs, Wen Quan had just gotten up.
"Starting practice so early?" Wen Quan was surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Li to be even stricter than Taoist Huiming.
"Of course, I am practicing all the time." Jiang Li said.
Wen Quan: “…I may not be talking about you.”

"Fellow Daoist is fasting, but he still eats these foods that have more dregs than essence, just like ordinary people. I think this is the embodiment of returning to nature. Huiming admires it."
Jiang Li was rarely able to respond.
If I say that I am greedy, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to Taoist Huiming?
After the three of them had eaten, they took a taxi to the amusement park.
Now Wen Quan is a billionaire with a net worth of over 100 million yuan and he no longer needs to take the bus.
"Three people, one soul, four unanimous votes, thank you."
"Huh?" The ticket lady was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Wen Quan realized the problem and corrected him: "Sorry, sorry, I counted wrong, three unanimous votes."
Entering the amusement park, Jiang Li walked towards the roller coaster.
"Senior Jiang, aren't you going to the haunted house?"
"You've bought full tickets anyway, so you have to have a good time." Jiang Li taught Wen Quan the importance of making full use of resources by example.
After getting on the roller coaster, Jiang Li realized that the speed was very slow and not scary at all.
I fly faster than a roller coaster.
However, the Wen Quan siblings were screaming louder than each other. When getting off the roller coaster, Wen Qing'er couldn't even stand up straight.
Jiang Li tried bungee jumping, pirate ship and other thrilling activities in turn, but felt unsatisfied.
"It's still more fun to ride the carousel." Jiang Li ate ice cream and rode the carousel leisurely.
Wen Quan and Wen Qing'er were driving bumper cars, crashing into each other without any mercy.
Taoist Huiming followed Jiang Li in the form of a wandering ghost, and he couldn't quite understand the feeling of playing in an amusement park.
"The fun in the amusement park is about excitement and leisure. I can't give you the feeling of leisure, but I can let you experience the excitement." Jiang Li said.
"I want to try it."
As soon as Taoist Huiming finished speaking, Jiang Li suddenly threw a punch. In Taoist Huiming's eyes, this punch was as fast as lightning and far exceeded his reaction ability.
Taoist Huiming felt that he would be scared to death by this punch.
The fist got closer and closer, and finally stopped half an inch away from Taoist Huiming's nose.
Taoist Huiming survived the disaster and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
"It seems... quite fun."
"Yeah."
Jiang Li jumped off the carousel, bought a string of candied haws, and walked towards the haunted house with Wen Quan and his sister.
