Dissolution of Confusion

The night before Meng Mingshu went to the mansion of the Governor, he was still wavering. He asked Lü Qiying, "Will the Dragon King give me my family's money back even if everything goes smoothly? I mean, he's now the de facto lord of Jade City. If he resorts to violence, then who can possibly stop him? No matter how powerful the Central Plains is, their armies are too far away, aren't they?"

Lü Qiying let out a hearty laugh to contrast against the Second Young Master Meng's momentary stupidity. "Sure. If the Dragon King resorts to violence, then the 20,000 troops of the Central Plains certainly won't be enough to stop him. As a result, we shall never give the Dragon King the chance to do so."

Meng Mingshu wanted his family's money back even in his dreams. In his mind, to get this large sum of money, it was worth waging a war over, not to mention becoming an enemy of the Dragon King. Therefore, he watched Lü Qiying in confusion, waiting for him to give a reason.
