Hearing Lu Yuchuan's words, Mu Qian's face was calm. After being quiet for a moment, she suddenly stood up slowly, patted the dust on her body, and then finally looked at Lu Yuchuan and said, "Like her, she should
It must be the biggest misfortune in my life."
Lu Yuchuan's eyes suddenly darkened.
He stared at Mu Qian for a while, then finally stood up and walked out of the small earthen house.
Mu Qian didn't look at him or follow him out. She just walked to the window and looked out at the vast rippling lake.
On the lake, as far as she could see, she saw two boats, both large and small, gradually approaching.
…
At the same time, on the ship that was traveling at full speed, Rong Heng, who was observing with a telescope, suddenly handed the telescope to Huo Jinxi who was beside him.
Huo Jinxi took it and held it up to his eyes, and soon saw Mu Qian behind the window of the earthen house.
They were far apart, and even in a high-powered telescope, he could only see her figure clearly and was sure that it was her.
Standing in that position, she definitely couldn't see him.
But she still stood there, looking in the direction of the incoming ship, motionless.
It seemed that it was just for him to see.
Huo Jinxi looked at Mu Qian for a long time, and then moved the telescope elsewhere.
Soon, he saw Lu Yuchuan.
Lu Yuchuan was standing by the water, looking in the direction of the incoming boat, seemingly holding a mobile phone in his hand.
Soon, the phone on Huo Jinxi's body rang.
Rong Heng and Lu Yuan beside them stared at each other at the same time.
Huo Jinxi handed the binoculars to Lu Yuan and answered the phone himself.
Lu Yuchuan's voice soon came over the phone——
"If I were you, I would consider stopping the ship immediately," Lu Yuchuan said.
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he looked into the distance with his eyes and said slowly, "If I were you, I would be wiser and choose a way out."
"Ha." Lu Yuchuan chuckled and said, "After all, I have fellow travelers, so I won't be alone in life or death."
"You can't touch her, and you don't dare to touch her," Huo Jinxi said.
"You have no say in this matter." Lu Yuchuan's tone was always low and gentle, "Stop your ship, otherwise, I don't guarantee what will happen to Qian Qian and the child in her belly."
"If you still want to leave this body of water safely, send her out safe and sound."
"What's important about my safety?" Lu Yuchuan said, "What's important is Qianqian and the child in her belly, isn't it?"
Huo Jinxi suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the fence in front of him.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but stepped forward and gently grabbed Huo Jinxi's arm.
Huo Jinxi looked back at her, and after a moment, he looked at Rong Heng and said, "Instruct all ships to stop."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuchuan chuckled again and hung up the phone.
"Do you think he will be harmful to Mu Qian?" Rong Heng turned around and couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's eyes were blurred and his face turned pale. After a while, he said in a low voice: "I don't know... I'm just afraid... After all, we don't know what dad will do..."
People who are at the end of their rope can be irrational.
Even if that person is Lu Yuchuan.
Or maybe, precisely because he is Lu Yuchuan, he is even more unpredictable.
"I don't know what he is thinking." Rong Heng said, "If he hadn't taken Mu Qian away, we wouldn't have pursued him like this. Isn't he asking for trouble?"
"There is always a possibility of eventuality in everything. What he needs is the guarantee of being able to escape." Huo Jinxi said solemnly.
Even though Lu Yuchuan was chased by them all the way, Mu Qian was always in his hands, and he was the one with the leverage after all.
That's why Lu Yuchuan is fearless.
Lu Yuan stood at the bow of the boat. After saying what he just said, he fell into a state of silence again.
It was like this along the way. She remained silent and didn't say a word. Even though Lu Yuchuan was on the other end of the phone just now, she was clearly paying attention to the whole process, but she didn't make a sound.
Rong Heng saw her facing the wind, staring at the small island in front of her, her eyes slightly red, so he couldn't help but reach out his hand and pull her into the cabin.
"Sit here and don't go out to enjoy the breeze." Rong Heng said, "My second brother and I are here, so you don't have to worry."
After a while, Lu Yuan finally came to his senses and nodded slowly.
…
After Lu Yuchuan stopped the boat that Huo Jinxi was riding, he stood on the shore and stared quietly.
Until Zhang Hong walked up to him, whispered in his ear: "Mr. Lu, the responding ship saw these ships nearby and felt it was inappropriate and did not dare to approach."
After Lu Yuchuan heard this, he said calmly: "If he doesn't dare to come over, let's go over."
Soon, Lu Yuchuan turned around and walked back to the earthen house, walking to Mu Qian who was still standing by the window.
Mu Qian ignored him, but he followed Mu Qian's gaze and asked, "Can you see clearly?"
Mu Qian didn't answer and still stood still.
The next moment, Lu Yuchuan handed a mobile phone to her, and Mu Qian turned to look at him.
"If you can't see clearly, you might as well make a phone call and listen to the sound." Lu Yuchuan said slowly.
Mu Qian couldn't help but sneered, "You want me to help you convey the message? Why should I agree to it?"
"Because you said that you are a person born with luck." Lu Yuchuan said, "So, you can fight."
After hearing this, Mu Qian looked at him for a long time, finally stretched out her hand and took the phone.
Clicking on the call history, the most recent call was Huo Jinxi's mobile phone number.
Mu Qian dialed the phone without hesitation.
The phone only rang once before being picked up. Listening to Huo Jinxi's low and gentle voice saying "It's me", Mu Qian's calm heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Yeah." Mu Qian responded, and then said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Mu Qian responded again, and the next moment, she saw Lu Yuchuan stretched out two fingers and tapped twice on the window frame inadvertently.
This is to remind her to tell the truth.
Mu Qian slowly exhaled, and then said: "Mr. Lu means that you are not allowed to follow me anymore. As long as he can escape safely, I should be fine. Right, Mr. Lu?"
After hearing this, Lu Yuchuan just smiled lightly and said, "You have always been smart."
Mu Qian also twitched the corner of his mouth, but he was smiling.
The next moment, she heard Huo Jinxi's voice, low and firm -
"I will always be there."
Mu Qian then laughed softly and said, "I know."
The next moment, Lu Yuchuan reached out, took the phone from her ear, and closed the line.
"Let's go." Lu Yuchuan said.
Mu Qian was indeed obedient and turned around to leave.
The group of people reboarded the ship and sailed in an unknown direction again.
…
On the ship that was stationary in the distance, Huo Jinxi quietly watched Mu Qian and Lu Yuchuan board the ship, and then gradually sail away until it finally disappeared on the vast lake. Only then did he look away and lower his head to look at his own.
mobile phone screen.
On the screen, the little red dot representing Mu Qian was still flashing.
Rong Heng also stared at the direction in which the ships disappeared. After a while, he suddenly turned around and returned to the cabin. He quickly found a map. After studying it carefully for a long time, he quickly circled a few places and started again.
Returned to the bow of the boat where Huo Jinxi stood.
Rong Heng handed the map in his hand to Huo Jinxi, "Since Lu Yuchuan chose to go from here, it means that he plans to escape by water. He will sail out from this water to the river and then to the sea. He is most likely to stay.
The places are these bays.”
Huo Jinxi took the map and his eyes fell heavily on the points circled by Rong Heng.
"Lu Yuchuan won't let us follow him, so we can send people over in advance to block him." Rong Heng said, "When the time comes, he will have no way to go."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi turned to look at him and said calmly: "What I want is not that he has no way out."
Hearing this, Rong Heng suddenly understood something. He paused and then said: "He... shouldn't be so crazy that he would attack his own daughter. After all, a tiger's poison will not eat its seeds."
"Even so, I can't take this risk." Huo Jinxi said slowly, "I want her to come back safe and sound."
…
From dawn to dusk again, Mu Qian's feet finally touched the land again at the most uncomfortable moment.
This time, the ship stopped at an unknown river bay. There were several abandoned houses that were in disrepair and looked quite spooky in the dark night.
But Mu Qian didn't care about anything. She quickly walked to the door of one of the houses and sat on the ground next to that room. She held her forehead and closed her eyes. She kept taking deep breaths and tried to suppress the overwhelming energy.
Lu Yuchuan stood on the shore, glanced at her from afar, turned and walked to the other side.
Mo Yan, who then got off the boat, just stood there, staring at Mu Qian quietly.
Zhang Hong walked behind her and looked at Mu Qian with the same complicated expression.
Mo Yan noticed something and looked back at him, "How long is it from the original boarding point?"
"More than two hours." Zhang Hong frowned slightly and replied, "If the plan suddenly changes, I'm afraid it will cause complications."
After hearing this, Mo Yan couldn't help but sneer and said: "Since he brought that girl, there have been many complications - otherwise, we wouldn't have stayed here."
Mu Qian leaned quietly outside the abandoned house without moving.
Although the voices of Mo Yan and Zhang Hong's conversation were very small, they carried along with the wind and reached her ears.
But she seemed to have heard nothing and had no reaction at all.
Due to the sudden change in the final boarding location, everyone had to rest in place and wait for the arrival of the final ship——
After Mu Qian calmed down a little, she hid in one of the dark rooms and sat quietly in the corner, motionless.
Not long after, Lu Yuchuan came over.
There were two people guarding the door. When they saw Lu Yuchuan approaching, they quietly backed away.
Lu Yuchuan walked into the dark room holding a flashlight. When he saw Mu Qian in the corner, he threw a coat in his hand onto Mu Qian.
After a while, Mu Qian slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the coat she was wearing, and laughed almost mockingly, then raised her eyes to look at him, "Mr. Lu is so kind. Aren't you afraid that I will do it again?"
Are you putting on a show, showing weakness on purpose, to test you?"
"It doesn't matter whether you show weakness or not." Lu Yuchuan said, "I don't want anything to go wrong with my chips."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yan suddenly rushed in from the outside, "She is not a bargaining chip! She is a time bomb that puts us in danger!"
She walked to Lu Yuchuan, held Lu Yuchuan's hand tightly and said: "We are being followed again! I asked Zhang Hong, the rest of the people here have been with you for many years, there is no way there
The inner ghost, the only possibility is that she——"
Mo Yan stretched out her hand and pointed at Mu Qian, "There must be something wrong with her, there must be a tracker that we haven't discovered! Yu Chuan, we can't take her with us anymore, she will keep exposing our traces! By then, we will have no trace of her.
Lu Ke has escaped!"
After listening to Mo Yan's words, Mu Qian just looked at her quietly without saying a word.
There was only one flashlight for lighting in the room, and the light was dim. The expressions on everyone's faces were hidden in the shadows and could not be clearly distinguished.
After a while, Mu Qian heard Lu Yuchuan call out: "Zhang Hong."
Zhang Hong quickly appeared at the door, "Mr. Lu."
"Is someone still catching up?" Lu Yuchuan asked.
"...Yes." Zhang Hong said, "Although they are still some distance away from us at the moment, judging from the information obtained, they are chasing us along our route."
"Yuchuan!" Mo Yan held on to Lu Yuchuan tightly, "We can't keep her anymore! With her here, you can't escape smoothly! Do you want to be caught, locked up, and finally sent to court for trial?
Really? You are Lu Yuchuan! You must not experience such a thing!"
"Really?" Lu Yuchuan's eyes were hidden behind his lenses, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Kill her." Mo Yan said.
Hearing these three words, Mu Qian raised her eyes again and looked at Mo Yan.
Mo Yan met her gaze and spoke firmly and resolutely, "She is not worthy of being your daughter at all. She is here to collect debts! The reason why you have reached this point is because you were deceived step by step by her.
Forced here - she simply wants you to die! She has never regarded you as her father! She just wants to get revenge on you wholeheartedly! She wants you to die! Why do you have to show mercy! We can take the boat right away
If she leaves here completely, her life won’t be of much use! Yuchuan, don’t be soft-hearted anymore!”
Lu Yuchuan also looked at Mu Qian, without responding or moving.
"If you can't do it..." Mo Yan gritted her teeth slightly and said, "Then let Zhang Hong do it, let others do it, or even let me do it -"
After saying that, she seemed to have made up her mind. She turned around and walked to the door. She quickly took out something from Zhang Hong and pointed it at Mu Qian.
Even though the light in the room was dim, Mu Qian could still see clearly at a glance - it was a black gun.
"She must die." Mo Yan said in a low voice, "Only can you live——"
At this moment, Mu Qian's vision suddenly became extremely clear——
She saw the extreme hatred burning in Mo Yan's eyes, she saw every move of her mouth when she gritted her teeth, and even the movement of her index finger bending to pull the trigger, Mu Qian could clearly see it -
boom!
In the darkness, a gunshot broke the silence and spread very far in the night.
The people scattered around quickly gathered around, but they only saw Zhang Hong's figure standing frozen at the door.
boom!
Another gunshot!
Zhang Hong suddenly screamed, knelt on one knee, and screamed in pain——
He was shot in the leg and was bleeding profusely at this moment.
In the room, standing with a gun raised, was Lu Yuchuan.
The person who fell to the ground silently was Mo Yan.
But Mu Qian was safe and sound.
She just quickly moved from the previous corner to another location, but she didn't expect that what she saw after the gunshot was like this.
Mo Yan's shot was shot dead by Lu Yuchuan before she even had time to fire it.
However, Lu Yuchuan seemed to not be able to see her. He just turned around and walked towards the door. He saw Zhang Hong kneeling on the ground, being supported by everyone, sweating coldly, gritting his teeth and not daring to shout again.
"You have followed me for so many years and have always been loyal, so I have always trusted you the most." Lu Yuchuan said, "Now, tell me, has anyone provided you with information that someone has been following us all the way?"
Zhang Hong's face was pale and he was sweating. He shook his head almost tremblingly, "No."
"Huh?" Lu Yuchuan responded, "Then you admit that you teamed up with this woman to lie?"
"...Yes." Zhang Hong didn't dare to tell any lies anymore and gritted his teeth and replied.
"Then do you recognize this shot?"
"...I admit it," Zhang Hong said with difficulty.
Lu Yuchuan then put away his gun and looked at the people behind Zhang Hong, "Take him down for treatment."
Everyone was too embarrassed to speak out. After responding, they quickly prepared to drag Zhang Hong away.
"Put your gun away." Lu Yuchuan said again, "Don't let the wrong person get it easily."
After hearing this, Zhang Hong did not dare to disobey at all. He dragged his painful leg back into the house again and took back his gun from Mo Yan, who was still staring at death.
Lu Yuchuan was still standing at the door, watching the group of people enter the room next door, and then turned around.
He glanced at Mu Qian who was motionless, and then looked at Mo Yan lying on the ground.
After a long time, Mu Qian finally spoke: "She must have been with you for many years."
"More than twenty years." Lu Yuchuan replied.
After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but twitch her lips again, "After more than twenty years, you have ended up like this?"
"Such an ending is not the result of more than 20 years," Lu Yuchuan said, "but the punishment she deserves for her wrong decision."
After hearing this, Mu Qian lowered her eyes lightly, "So, this is the consequence of betraying you and deceiving you, right?"
"Are you scared?" Lu Yuchuan turned to look at her.
When Mu Qian heard this, she slowly raised her face and said, "Of course I'm afraid. After all, I still have a lifetime of good things to live for."
Lu Yuchuan knelt down next to Mo Yan's body, and after looking at her quietly for a moment, he finally reached out and touched Mo Yan's eyes, which were still open until she died.
"Don't worry, you are still valuable, so you won't--"
Lu Yuchuan was halfway through talking when his words suddenly stopped.
Because the place where the gun was originally placed on his lower back was suddenly empty.
