Yeah probably, but Yuki will still be happy the bluff worked because it saved her some time.

I have a bad feeling about this.

> I don't think he's worried about being confronted and arrested at all, for the same reason Yuki wasn't worried about the three villains.

Afraid and worried are two different things, I believe, for Mumph.  Fear is paralyzing.  Worrying means he makes preparations in case it happens.  It's less about him and more about his granddaughter though.  If asked, Chiaki would probably gladly volunteer.
For Chiaki, protecting someone who can't defend themselves as well as she can is the highest honor.  So if she's confronted she would likely be stubborn to the point of being unreasonable.  Even situations like "give up the old man and we'll leave you with the kid peacefully" would be violently resisted by her, because her honor depends on the promise of returning them both home safely.

Yuki told Liu Xi she was going to recommend her for full Lair Legion membership (Liu Xi protested of course, but Yuki is stubborn), and ask them to at least offer associate status to Lara Night - who probably won't accept because her conscience won't allow it when she can't be around all the time - but the point is for the LL to ask to show they have heart.
Even Yuki knows both of her suggestions are unlikely to be followed, but they could still show up at a meeting, or long enough to be tossed in the round file.
