Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 821 I can save your life!

Listening to Meng Ge's words, Lin Shi was stunned.

So this is where your confidence comes from!

But Lin Shi reacted quickly, immediately accepted his identity, and straightened his body, which had been a little cramped.

That’s right, it’s me, I’m here!

"What? Did the old man let you do that?"

"What does the old man mean?"

"Is this the identity of Meng Ge's successor already determined?"

Meng Ge's words immediately caused everyone in the room to whisper, and everyone's reactions were completely different. Anyway, Meng Delu, who had come first to "complain", had a very unhappy expression.

"Lin Shi? Isn't this Lin Shi? The champion of this year's national championship?" The originally subtle voice was covered by a clearly high-pitched surprise, and Lin Shi also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yo, you were recognized?

But it’s nothing, this is within Lin Shi’s expectations. After all, he is still quite well-known now, especially in Baishan City.

Lin Shi?!

As their identities were revealed, everyone looked at Lin Shi, comparing the appearance of the person in front of them with the champion of the Youth Championship who had made a big splash not long ago. As their memories overlapped, everyone's expressions changed even more dramatically.

You know, the competition in China has always been fierce, and this year is the year before the World Youth Championship. The competition is more intense than ever before, and the championship this year is of great value.

This kind of person will almost certainly become a top-level trainer in the future, or even the most powerful zodiac king, achieving a leap in class status.

A big part of the reason why their Meng family has been able to develop to this point today is because a zodiac king from the Northeast region appeared in their family.

This king had great prestige at the time and helped the Meng family get many opportunities for development, many of which were not known to outsiders.

All in all, the benefits that a zodiac king can bring to a family are far more than what can be seen.

"Uncle Meng, Aunt Wang, Meng Ge's notification was urgent, and I didn't prepare anything, so I came empty-handed. Please forgive me, I will make it up to you next time."

Ignoring others, Lin Shi was still very professional and went straight to Meng Yongsheng and Wang Yaru to express his apology and greetings.

"Forehead."

At this moment, even Meng Yongsheng, who had been in a high position for a long time, was a little confused. He could naturally see Lin Shi's potential, but the other party appeared too suddenly and he was not mentally prepared at all.

He never expected that his eldest daughter, who had always been sensible, would give him a big one without telling him.

At the critical moment, it was Wang Yaru who touched her husband's arm to remind him to come back to his senses, and then she looked at Lin Shi with a smile on her face.

"Little boy, long time no see. Auntie has wanted you to come home for a long time, but I heard you were too busy so I didn't mention it. Now you finally came today."

Wang Yaru couldn't be more pleased with her son-in-law, Lin Shi. He had been impressed by this young man at the charity gala in Gangquan City and had even urged his daughter to get to know him. Unexpectedly, he actually listened to her...

"No, I should have come to visit earlier."

Lin Shi dealt with it smoothly, but his eyes began to look around the whole room. Ever since he came in, Hua Yeti seemed to feel a different kind of energy, which made Lin Shi a little concerned.

After the flattering words were spoken, everyone composed their expressions. This was definitely not the time to socialize. Mr. Meng was in a bad condition, and they were not in the mood to care too much.

At this time, a man who looked like a butler came out of Mr. Meng's room and came in front of Meng Yongsheng.

"Mr. and Madam, the old man asked Meng Ge, Miss Meng Wan, and Mr. Lin to come in."

The housekeeper's words surprised everyone again. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mr. Meng was dissatisfied with Meng Ge. It seemed that he really intended to train him to be the next head of the family.

"Go ahead, but be careful. The old man needs to rest."

How could Meng Yongsheng dare not agree when his father spoke? He immediately nodded in agreement, but he was also worried that they would make too much noise, so he specifically instructed him to do so.

Just like that, the three of them entered Mr. Meng's room in full view of everyone. The moment they entered, Lin Shi immediately confirmed that the source of the strange energy that Hua Yeti sensed was here!

He pretended to glance around the room casually. The whole room could be described as clean and simple, without any clutter. There were only some strange-looking antique-like items placed on a bookshelf.

After all, at Mr. Meng's age, he has money and free time, so he always has some strange hobbies.

Lin Shi retracted his gaze and looked at the old man on the bed. His face was pale and his body was withered. He was like a candle in a storm, and no one knew which gust of wind would suddenly blow it out.

"Grandpa, we are here to see you!"

Meng Wan's oriole-like voice rang out, and Old Man Meng also showed a long-lost smile. He looked at the two sisters Meng Ge and Meng Wan with satisfaction. He was still very satisfied with these two granddaughters.

Then he looked at Lin Shi, who had been standing there in a daze since he came in, and the smile on his face slowly froze.

"Are you Lin Shi?"

The old man's voice was a little low, but Lin Shi could still hear it clearly. He walked to the old man's bed and nodded.

"I'm Lin Shi. I've heard of Mr. Meng's name for a long time, and today I finally met him." Lin Shi said with a smile, but his eyes were observing the other person's physical condition, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"I know you're the champion of the National Youth Championship, a rare talent, but marrying my granddaughter isn't easy."

Mr. Meng had obviously investigated Lin Shi, and the more he investigated, the more shocked he became. Not only was he an extremely outstanding trainer, but he also owned several companies and even served in multiple regions within China. It was simply incredible.

But even so, he still had to give him a warning first, otherwise he was afraid that his granddaughter would suffer at the hands of this man in the future. And he was an old man who was about to die, so the other party couldn't get angry at him, right?

"My granddaughter is not only beautiful, but also the heir to our Meng family's future business. If you want to be my granddaughter's son-in-law, you must not only have a strong trainer to protect her, but also have excellent character."

"Our Meng family has always had a strict family tradition, and we value a person's qualities even more than his talent."

"Also, let me be frank. To be the son-in-law of the Meng family, you don't have to marry into the family in the future, but you must at least have a child with the surname Meng, so that they can inherit our family's property..."

"I can save your life!"

Mr. Meng's endless speech was suddenly interrupted by Lin Shi, which made him unable to react for a while.

"What did you say?"

"I said……"

Lin Shi raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the old man with a twinkling gaze.

"I can save your life."
