Ha! They really are a pair of good friends! Does Lu Chen not even want his future anymore?
If he returns empty-handed this time, the Emperor will definitely not trust him again, but does Lu Chen really think he can leave unscathed?
At worst, a label of incompetence and inability will be slapped on him. How will the Emperor ever trust Lu Chen to carry out tasks in the future?
"I must apologize to you for this matter, for I have implicated you! You know, the movements of aristocratic families in the Capital are always under others' watchful eyes. From the moment we left the Capital, perhaps our itinerary was already under control."
Gu Chengyu was somewhat surprised by Lu Chen's frankness, but he did not believe Lu Chen's words.
If what Lu Chen said was true, then do aristocratic families really have no privacy left?
Gu Chengyu smiled noncommittally, "Since the Yan Family is visiting, there's no harm in seeing their intentions."
