Hearing Mu Qian's question, Lu Yuchuan was quiet for a moment, then laughed, "I'm also thinking about what I should plan."

Mu Qian looked at him and said, "What happened to Fu Cheng means that the transaction we had reached with him before was invalid. Not only would you not get a pardon, but you would most likely even Huo Jinxi would 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 did not involve too much, and there would not be too big problems. Besides, Jin Xi also knows Song Qingyuan. For his daughter's sake, Song Qingyuan will help Jin Xi. He will not have any trouble."

"What about you?" Mu Qian looked at him, "If Huo Jinxi can only barely protect himself, then who will protect you?"

Lu Yuchuan slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Did you forget that Dad never wanted you and Jin Xi to be involved in this incident? From the beginning, you didn't need to be responsible to Dad, and you didn't need to put yourself in danger to protect me. This used to be the case, and now it is the case."

"Then tell me, how do you plan to protect yourself this time?" Mu Qian stared at him, as if she had to get an answer from him.

Lu Yuchuan sat quietly for a while, finally stood up, walked to the guardrail, looked at the mountains and white clouds near him, and said slowly: "If I say, by this moment, I haven't thought of a way to protect myself, do you believe it?"

Mu Qian sat there slightly stiffly, quietly looking at his back.

"I never expected that Fu Cheng would have an accident so soon." Lu Yuchuan said, "Unless he will never be caught, once he is arrested, the transaction between me and Shen Ting will be dug out."

"So..." Mu Qian said softly, "What you are thinking about now is how to prevent Fu Cheng from being arrested?"

When Lu Yuchuan heard this, he looked back at her and smiled, "How can I consider this? The world is so big. No one knows where Fu Cheng is now... Whether he will be arrested is the struggle between him and the group of people in Huai City, and I have no way to interfere."

"Then why are you not worried at all?" Mu Qian stood up and walked to him, "You still have the leisure to drink tea and watch the scenery here... I almost thought you didn't know anything, it turned out that you knew everything."

Lu Yuchuan leaned on the fence, heard this, and smiled faintly, saying, "What can I do? I am your father. I said that I will accompany you and protect you in the future. How can I panic in front of you?"

Mu Qian suddenly turned his face away and looked to the side. After a long time, he spoke again: "You hope that Huo Jinxi and I can be safe, and I also hope that you can plan your future path for yourself... As for Yuanyuan and I, you don't have to worry."

Lu Yuchuan was also silent for a long time before saying, "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 escape or stay, how do you choose?"

When she said this, her eyes were staring straight at him with black and white eyes. The water was shimmering, and she clearly had expectations, but it seemed that there was nothing.

"How to escape?" Lu Yuchuan said lightly, "How to stay?"

Mu Qian avoided his gaze again, "You can't not know what I'm talking about, why do you have to force me to say it?"

After hearing this, Lu Yuchuan still just smiled faintly.

The so-called escape is nothing more than staying away from Tongcheng, staying away from homeland, and going to exile overseas.

If you have to say the benefits of this road, at least there can be a place to choose from.

But the so-called staying has only one choice.

"I know neither of these two paths is what you want," Mu Qian said.

Because Lu Yuchuan had long said that what he wanted was absolute freedom - even if he lived freely overseas, he was also not free, let alone staying...

Lu Yuchuan turned his head and looked at her, "Which path do you want your dad to take?"

Mu Qian still didn't look at him, her eyes fell on the distant forest. After a long time, she whispered: "What if I say, I hope you stay and I hope you surrender?"

The air that wandered freely in the mountains suddenly condensed, and the father and daughter suddenly fell into silence.

"Then my dad may spend his days in prison. Is that what you want?" Lu Yuchuan finally spoke again.

Mu Qian was quiet for a moment before finally turning around and looking at him, "Because I know, you will definitely not choose this path."

Lu Yuchuan chuckled slowly, then said with a nearly sigh: "You are right, I won't choose this road anyway."

"So, are you going to leave?" Mu Qian looked at him, and her eyes were red after all.

Lu Yuchuan looked at her, took out a handkerchief from her body, gently wiped her eyes, and then said, "I can't bear to part with my father?"

Mu Qian avoided his hand, turned his head and held his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

"If you really don't have a choice, that's all, right?" Lu Yuchuan spoke again, his tone relaxed and peaceful.

Mu Qian lowered her head and pressed her eyes, but still said nothing.

At this moment, Zhang Hong's voice suddenly came downstairs, shouting Lu Yuchuan with a little nervous and anxious: "Mr. Lu——"

When Lu Yuchuan heard this, he patted Mu Qian's back gently, noticed that she was thin, took off her coat and put it on her, and then said, "Dad will come."

After a long time, Mu Qian finally moved his hand, which was covered in wet marks, slowly grabbed his palm, and listened to the vague conversation coming from downstairs.

The coat on her body was still carrying Lu Yuchuan's body temperature, but her whole body was frozen and cold, standing there, motionless.

Until Zhang Hong's almost roaring voice suddenly came downstairs: "...If you don't leave, it may 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 was still calm, but Zhang Hong seemed to have his eyes red with anger. The person who had always been cautious actually looked at Lu Yuchuan directly, almost glaring.

"What happened?" Mu Qian said.

Lu Yuchuan did not answer, but just looked at Zhang Hong, "You go out."
