Hearing Mu Qian's question, Lu Yuchuan was quiet for a moment, and then laughed, "I'm also thinking about what I should do."
Mu Qian looked at him and said, "If something happens to Fu Cheng, it means that the deal we made with him is void. Not only will you not be able to get amnesty, but Huo Jinxi will most likely be implicated..."
Lu Yuchuan looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, "You don't have to worry about Jin Xi. His relationship with Fu Cheng doesn't involve too much, so there won't be any big problems. Besides, Jin Xi also knows Song Qingyuan, so for the sake of it,
For the sake of his daughter, how could Song Qingyuan help Jin Xi? He will be fine."
"What about you?" Mu Qian looked at him, "If Huo Jinxi can only protect himself, then who will protect you?"
Lu Yuchuan slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Have you forgotten that Dad never wanted you and Jin Xi to be involved in this incident? From the beginning, you didn't need to be responsible for Dad, and you didn't need to fight for
Protect me and put yourself in danger. That was true then and that is true now.”
"Then tell me, how are you going to protect yourself this time?" Mu Qian stared at him closely, as if she wanted to get an answer from him.
Lu Yuchuan sat quietly for a moment, finally stood up, walked to the guardrail, looked at the mountains and white clouds in front of him, and said slowly: "If I say that up to now, I haven't figured out a way to protect myself,
Do you believe it?"
Mu Qian sat there slightly stiffly, looking at his back quietly.
"I never expected that something would happen to Fu Cheng so soon." Lu Yuchuan said, "Unless he is never caught, once he is caught, the deal between me and him will also affect the relationship between me and Shen Ting.
Any involvement will be dug out."
"So..." Mu Qian said in a low voice, "What you are thinking about now is how to prevent Fu Cheng from being arrested?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuchuan looked back at her and laughed, "How can I consider this? The world is huge, no one knows where Fu Cheng is now... will he be caught?
It's a fight between him and those people in Huai City, and I have no way to intervene."
"Then why are you not worried at all?" Mu Qian stood up and walked to his side, "You still have the leisure to drink tea here and watch the scenery... I almost thought you didn't know anything, but it turns out you know everything."
Lu Yuchuan leaned on the fence. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, "What can I do? I am your father. I said that I will accompany you and protect you in the future. How can I
How about panicking in front of you?"
Mu Qian suddenly turned away and looked to the side. After a long time, she spoke again: "You hope that Huo Jinxi and I can be alone, and I also hope that you can plan the future path for yourself... As for Yuan and I,
Yuan, you don’t have to worry."
Lu Yuchuan was also silent for a long time, and then said again: "Then what do you think dad can do?"
"Once Fu Cheng is arrested, there are only two ways in front of you." Mu Qian said, "Either run away or stay. How do you choose?"
When she said this, she looked straight at him with clear black and white eyes, watery and glimmering, clearly expecting something, but also seemed to have nothing.
"How to escape?" Lu Yuchuan said calmly, "How to stay?"
Mu Qian avoided his gaze again, "It's impossible that you don't know what I'm talking about, why do you have to force me to say it?"
After Lu Yuchuan heard this, he still just smiled lightly.
The so-called escape is nothing more than staying away from Tongcheng, staying away from homeland, and living in exile overseas.
If we must talk about the benefits of this road, then at least there are places to choose from.
As for staying, there is only one choice.
"I know that neither of these two paths is what you want." Mu Qian said.
Because Lu Yuchuan has long said that what he wants is absolute freedom - even living a carefree life overseas is not free for him, let alone staying...
Lu Yuchuan tilted his head and looked at her, "Which path do you want dad to take?"
Mu Qian still didn't look at him, her eyes fell on the mountains and forests in the distance. After a long time, she whispered: "What if I said, I hope you stay, and I hope you surrender?"
The free-roaming air in the mountains suddenly condensed, and the father and daughter suddenly fell into silence.
"Then dad may spend the rest of his life in prison. Is this what you want?" Lu Yuchuan finally spoke again.
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment, then finally turned to look at him, "Because I know you will never choose this path."
Lu Yuchuan laughed slowly, and then said almost as if he was sighing: "You are right, I will not choose this path no matter what."
"So, are you ready to leave?" Mu Qian looked at him, her eyes turning red uncontrollably.
Lu Yuchuan looked at her, took out a handkerchief from his body, gently wiped her eyes, and then said, "Can't bear to leave daddy?"
Mu Qian avoided his hand, turned her head and pressed her eyes, and said nothing for a long time.
"If you really have no choice, you have to do this, right?" Lu Yuchuan spoke again, his tone relaxed and calm.
Mu Qian lowered her head, pressed her eyes, and remained silent.
At this moment, Zhang Hong's voice suddenly came from downstairs, calling Lu Yuchuan with a hint of nervousness and anxiety: "Mr. Lu——"
When Lu Yuchuan heard this, he patted Mu Qian's back gently. He noticed that her clothes were thin, so he took off his coat and put it on her body. Then he said, "Dad, come as soon as you go."
After a long time, Mu Qian finally removed her wet hand, slowly clasped it in her palm, and listened to the indistinct chatter coming from downstairs.
The coat on her body still carried Lu Yuchuan's body temperature, but her whole body was stiff and cold, and she stood there motionless.
Until Zhang Hong's almost roaring voice suddenly came from downstairs: "...If you don't leave, it might be too late!"
Mu Qian then stood up straight, walked downstairs slowly, and saw Lu Yuchuan and Zhang Hong sitting and standing in the living room.
Lu Yuchuan still had a calm attitude, but Zhang Hong seemed to have turned red with anger. The usually cautious man looked directly at Lu Yuchuan, almost angrily.
"What happened?" Mu Qian said.
Lu Yuchuan didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Hong, "Get out."
After hearing this, Zhang Hong glanced at him again, but rarely listened to the order. Instead, he turned around and walked up to Mu Qian and said, "Miss Qian, you must help us - Shen Ting's children have escaped, and we
We don’t have any leverage to stop Shen Ting’s mouth. Besides, he hates us so much now that he will definitely expose everything! Once he opens his mouth, everything will be too late! Mr. Lu must leave!"
