After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

They traveled to many places and asked many people, but still could not find any news about Chen Tanyan. However, Su Yuchen did not give up. She firmly believed that as long as she persisted, she would definitely find this man.

After the defeat of the rebels, Chen Tanyan hid everywhere like a lost dog. He knew very well that at this critical moment, the most dangerous place might be the safest. So, he did not hesitate to avoid the layers of investigation and cleverly sneaked into the prosperous capital.

The capital city was crowded with people from all walks of life, which provided Chen Tanyan with an excellent hiding place. He did not dare to be careless and carefully avoided all people and things that might expose his identity. After some twists and turns, he finally found Ye Guyan who was settling accounts in Mulanfang.

Although she was surprised by Chen Tanyan's arrival, she didn't show it on her face. Chen Tanyan looked at her, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that at this moment he had no choice but to play the emotional card, hoping that Ye Guyan would take him in.

So, he began his performance. He told of his helplessness and hardship, recalled the good times they had spent together, and tried to arouse Ye Guyan's sympathy and pity. However, Ye Guyan was an extremely calm and rational woman. She listened to Chen Tanyan's narration, and although she was touched, she was more alert and on guard.

She knew that Chen Tanyan must have some ulterior motive for coming here. So, she found a random excuse to evade him and said that she would consider his request. Seeing this, Chen Tanyan could only leave helplessly. However, he did not give up, but chose to wander around Mulanfang, looking for an opportunity to approach Ye Guyan again.

After Chen Tanyan left, Ye Guyan immediately found her daughter Chen Shuyin to discuss countermeasures. Chen Shuyin was a smart girl. After listening to her mother's narration, she pondered for a moment and then came up with a bold plan.

"Mother, we can stabilize him first." Chen Shuyin whispered, "Since he has nowhere to go now, we can take him in temporarily. But we can't let him stay here for nothing."

"What do you mean?" Ye Guyan looked at his daughter, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"We can take this opportunity to give Su Yuchen a big gift." Chen Shuyin smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Guyan's face darkened when she heard this. She knew what her daughter meant, but doing this was undoubtedly walking on a tightrope, and a little carelessness could lead to eternal damnation. However, she also knew that this was an excellent opportunity. If they could successfully use Chen Tanyan as bait to lure out Su Yuchen, then they might be able to take Su Yuchen down in one fell swoop.

But this matter is extremely serious, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble. Ye Guyan thought about it again and again, weighed the pros and cons, and finally chose to adopt her daughter's suggestion. She decided to temporarily take in Chen Tanyan and use him to lure Su Yuchen into a trap.

So, Ye Guyan found Chen Tanyan and told him that he could temporarily stay in the warehouse of Mulanfang to avoid the limelight. Chen Tanyan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He was secretly glad that he had found a safe hiding place, and at the same time he was full of gratitude to Ye Guyan and her daughter.

However, he didn't know that he had become a pawn in the plan of Ye Guyan and her daughter. And everything that follows will proceed according to their plan.

Chen Tanyan settled down in the warehouse and lived his life cautiously every day for fear of being discovered.

It was already late when Chen Qiyu returned to Mulanfang. He walked through the dimly lit streets, feeling a little uneasy. Ever since he left the front and returned to the capital, he always felt that something was happening quietly.

As he approached the warehouse, he heard a slight sound. He frowned. Could it be a mouse? Chen Qiyu thought so, but his steps involuntarily moved towards the warehouse.

He was about to push the door open, but was hurriedly stopped by several employees: "Master, these are important supplies that Madam Ye asked us to guard, you can't go in."

Chen Qiyu was stunned and looked at them in confusion: "When did my mother ask you to lock the warehouse? How come I didn't know?"

"This..." The employees looked at each other, stammering and unable to explain.

Chen Qiyu's suspicions grew even stronger. He felt that there must be something fishy going on. So, he said coldly, "Move aside. I want to go in and take a look."

"Master, you really can't go in." The employees still insisted, but their eyes flickered with uneasiness.

Seeing this, Chen Qiyu was even more certain that there was something wrong. He stopped talking nonsense and directly fought with the employees. Although several employees tried their best to stop him, they were no match for Chen Qiyu. Soon, they were subdued one by one.

After Chen Qiyu knocked out the employees, he pushed open the door and walked into the warehouse. Under the dim light, he saw a disheveled figure - it was his father, Chen Tanyan.

Chen Tanyan was curled up in a corner, his clothes were ragged, his face was covered with stubble, and he had long lost his former dignity. When he saw Chen Qiyu, a trace of astonishment and panic flashed in his eyes.

Chen Qiyu looked at him coldly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had imagined the scene of reuniting with his father countless times, but he never thought it would be under such circumstances.

"You are now a wanted criminal in the Great Zhou Dynasty," Chen Qiyu was the first to break the silence: "You are hiding here, are you trying to kill my mother?"

Chen Tanyan lowered his head, speechless. He knew how much trouble and risk his behavior had brought to his family. But where could he go? The world was so big that it seemed there was no place for him.

"Say something!" Chen Qiyu roared, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment. "You used to be our role model! Now you're a wanted criminal, hiding in this dark warehouse! Are you worthy of us? Are you worthy of your mother?"

Chen Tanyan raised his head and looked at his son's angry face. The guilt in his heart surged like a tide. He knew that he had fought on the battlefield all his life, but ended up like this. It was really sad. However, he also had his own difficulties and helplessness.

"Qi Yu, I..." Chen Tanyan spoke, his voice hoarse and low, "I know I'm sorry for you, but I have no other choice. The Great Zhou can no longer accommodate me, I can only hide here and wait for an opportunity.

"Chance?" Chen Qiyu sneered, "Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around? You are already a wanted criminal, and everyone in the world is looking for you! If you hide here, it will only bring us more trouble!"

Chen Tanyan was speechless. He knew his son was telling the truth. His current situation was indeed very dangerous. Not only did it implicate his family, but it could also put the entire Mulanfang in crisis.

"So what do you want me to do?" Chen Tanyan raised his head and looked at his son. "Do you want me to turn myself in? Or just hand me over?"

"I..." Chen Qiyu was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to answer this question. He couldn't hand his father over, but letting his father continue to hide here would bring danger to his family. He was caught in a dilemma.
