"Okay! I'll be there shortly."
Zhou Yang hung up the phone and hurriedly got dressed to go.
Song Ning rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep, and asked, "What's the rush? Where are you going?"
As he dressed, Zhou Yang said, "City Lord Wu Gang asked me for a favor. He can't make an appearance and wants to talk in person."
Song Ning suddenly became alert, rolled over, and asked while lying naked, "He's calling you for a favor at this hour? And to talk in person? This could be something big."
Zhou Yang was tying his tie and said, "He sounded very urgent, so it must be important. He keeps saying he owes me one; I couldn't have got to where I am now without his help. I have to repay the debt eventually."
"Be careful, don't take on everything yourself. Affairs of those in power aren't as simple as you think," Song Ning warned.
