Chapter 445

"Mm!"

Liu Mengyun's mother hugged the woman, wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, quickly regained her composure, and released Liu Mengyun from her embrace.

Liu's mother looked at Su Yang and asked: "Mengyun, you haven't introduced this friend of yours yet!"

"This is Su Yang, Lieutenant Su, captain of the Fourteenth Emergency Team—my current superior!"

Upon hearing her daughter's introduction, Liu's mother's expression instantly darkened, then forced a polite, distant smile.

Clearly, she knew the Treasure Pavilion had suffered heavy damage, Liu Long had been struck hard, and her daughter had fallen to her current state—all because of Su Yang!

But偏偏, the Liu family had no way to act against Su Yang.

If they moved against Su Yang, the Liu family would very likely face utter destruction!

They could not afford such a cost.

"Lieutenant Su, you really are a distinguished guest!"

"I'm no distinguished guest, just came by to sit awhile," Su Yang set down his teacup and smiled. "Our team has been out on duty for over half a year; this leave is a month long. I saw Liu Mengyun seemed too afraid to come home, so I came along to cheer her up!"

Liu Mengyun immediately lowered her head.

Liu's mother gently stroked her daughter's hair: "Child, this is your home—why are you afraid to return?"

Liu Mengyun didn't know how to answer, so she forcibly changed the subject: "Mom, where's Dad? And where are my brother and sister?"

"Your father is testing your brother's studies; your sister is still in management class," Liu's mother said softly. "But since you're home today, they should take a break… Lieutenant Su, excuse me for a moment—I'll go notify Lao Liu and the others to come over."

"Mm!"
