Chapter 654

"That does sound right—I'll have to find some time to really shake her up!"

"By the way, Lieutenant Su killed so many pet beasts of the Shengjing City Garrison, and offended four King-level experts—won't that cause serious trouble?"

"General Qin and the others are handling it for me," Su Yang said helplessly. "I'm just waiting for news."

"Do you need our Treasure Pavilion's help?"

Su Yang declined: "I don't think that's necessary."

He didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Especially not the Treasure Pavilion's.

Liu Long smiled and said, "What if I'm doing this to show my gratitude for your defense of Mengyun?"

"This…"

"Speaking of which, the whole incident started because of Mengyun—if Lieutenant Su hadn't defended her, you wouldn't have drawn such a huge trouble, would you?" Seeing Su Yang about to speak, Liu Long quickly added, "Don't say it was your tacit approval. Your wisest choice back then was to let Mengyun stay with the City Garrison for a few days—she'd just suffer a bit and then be released."

"Even if Mengyun's actions were tacitly approved by you, surely you still owe me, her father, some gratitude for boosting her strength and taking care of her!"

Su Yang pointed at himself and asked, "Just to thank me?"

Liu Long made it sound as if he was helping out of gratitude, so Su Yang wouldn't owe him anything…

"Wasn't it just to thank Lieutenant Su? Was there another reason?" Liu Long chuckled. "Lieutenant Su, don't overthink it."

"No, there wasn't!"

Even if there had been, Su Yang wouldn't dare admit it.

"Then it's settled!" Liu Long stood up smiling. "Our Treasure Pavilion still has some connections in the General Headquarters—we can lend a hand, however small. With our help, General Qin's group will have it much easier!"

The Treasure Pavilion had connections in the General Headquarters.

Su Yang believed that.

Otherwise, the Treasure Pavilion wouldn't be this big.

Even regional military headquarters often needed to purchase strategic supplies from the Treasure Pavilion.

"Then thank you very much!"

"No need to thank me—I'm the one who should thank you for taking care of my daughter!" Liu Long waved his hand with a smile. "I came here mainly for this matter; I have business to attend to at my shop, so I'll be off."

After Liu Long hurriedly left, Liu Mengyun curiously asked Su Yang what her father had said.

"I just mentioned the incident with the Shengjing City Garrison—your father said he'd help!"

Liu Mengyun worried, "Did he mention any conditions?"

"No," Su Yang replied. "He said he was helping me just to thank me for taking care of you—it shouldn't count as owing a favor…"

Liu Mengyun stared blankly. "That old fox!"
