Chapter 443

"Aren't you going back?"

Liu Mengyun put down the documents in her hands and shook her head. "I'm not going back!"

"Why not go back?"

Liu Mengyun lowered her head and said nothing.

"Go back," Su Yang whispered. "I think your father still wants to see you."

"Really?"

"If he didn't care for you, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to save your life and get you out of prison!"

Liu Mengyun let out a deep sigh. "But I caused my family great losses. My relatives..."

Su Yang could roughly deduce that Liu Mengyun's Liu family was likely a major clan.

Such family power was not uncommon in this world.

The traditional Chinese family values had persisted.

Before the Great Catastrophe, Chinese family values had been steadily weakening.

But after the Great Catastrophe, facing this perilous world, bonds between blood relatives had grown tighter again.

After all, relatives bound by blood were always more reliable than strangers; they could support each other.

"I think you can return with your head held high!"

Liu Mengyun looked up at Su Yang, her cold face filled with confusion.

"Because you're my deputy officer!" Su Yang patted her shoulder. "I'm not boasting—but if your family's influence is even slightly sensible, they'll give me some face... otherwise, one day I'll lead a squad to raid your home!"
