Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.
Chapter 10: Shooting the first bird
Lu Ze watched himself grow stronger day by day, as if he had returned to his former glory, but his father remained a thorn in his side. This one piece of evidence alone wasn't enough; he needed to find another way.
Bai Mengmeng appears to be idle all day, but in reality, she's out trying to build relationships with others. During this time, Bai Mengmeng and Liu Lin have become inseparable best friends, always going out shopping and chatting.
Xiao Bai urgently reminded Mengmeng, "I sense Zhu Ting is nearby." Even when Xiao Bai had nothing to do, she diligently stayed at her post.
Bai Mengmeng pulled Liu Lin toward Zhu Ting. She certainly couldn't miss this good show. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ting was sitting with a man who didn't want others to see his face and was fully disguised.
Bai Mengmeng had no idea who that person was. Even in Zhu Ting's condition, she was still able to come out and meet others. She could only turn to Liu Lin for help, reaching out and tugging at her, "Who is that person? Do you remember them?"
Liu Lin looked bewildered. "It would take real skill for me to be able to recognize a masked person," she said. "Sister Mengmeng, he's a masked person. I don't have X-ray vision." Liu Lin mocked her intelligence.
Bai Mengmeng also realized what was happening and asked a lie.
"Sister Mengmeng, since you're so curious, why don't we follow him today? It'll help pass the time."
Bai Mengmeng agreed, and their stalking mission officially began.
They even bought two binoculars to watch the melons from a distance.
"Sister Mengmeng, look! Zhu Ting is pulling on that man's arm, and she looks really excited!" The two of them were thoroughly enjoying the sight.
Bai Meng dreamt of something and felt a little disappointed. "I regret it."
Liu Lin was also puzzled. "You don't want to follow anymore? Then let's go. We'll just send someone to follow you."
Seeing that Liu Lin had misunderstood his meaning, he said, "The tracking mission definitely needs to be carried out well, but we didn't hire a lip-reading expert to translate on the spot. It's a bit boring just watching."
Liu Lin was amused and said, "If that doesn't work, just have some peanuts or sunflower seeds."
The two of them burst into laughter, while Zhu Ting was crying.
"Hurry up and follow him!" The group split up and all followed.
I really don't know if he was secretly following her or openly following her. There were so many people walking down the street, and they were all going the same way as him. She didn't even notice; she's really clueless.
Finally, it was time to take off my mask and enter the gate.
Liu Lin was surprised when she saw this person's face.
Bai Mengmeng wasn't sure who she had seen either, and shook Liu Lin, asking her to answer.
Liu Lin covered her mouth and whispered, "He, he is that fraudster."
Bai Mengmeng was also shocked. How could Zhu Ting possibly be associated with that fraudster? Seeing the seriousness of the situation, she took Liu Lin and left first. On the way back, she kept confirming, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
"Actually, when I learned that Zhao Ming had gotten into trouble, I helped him look for this person. I even sent people to chase him abroad, but he still managed to escape without a trace. Since there were no results, I didn't pursue the matter further. The fact that he's here now and in contact with Zhu Ting means there must be something seriously wrong." The two were completely bewildered and clueless.
Bai Mengmeng was also confused as to why this person was there. She could only go back and ask Xiaobai to see if she had discovered anything. Both of them were preoccupied and remained silent, tacitly understanding each other's thoughts.
After seeing Liu Lin off, Bai Mengmeng rushed into the room without stopping. "Xiao Bai, you just saw it too, what exactly happened?"
“I didn’t have any contact with that man. I only got some incomplete information from Zhu Ting. My guess is that there’s a more powerful force manipulating Zhao Ming behind the scenes. Zhu Ting probably tried to contact him before. We don’t know his purpose yet, so it’s best not to act rashly.”
Bai Mengmeng originally thought it was just a simple dungeon, but she didn't expect it to increase her difficulty.
Bai Mengmeng felt she needed to create an opportunity to contact him. The next day, she asked about his whereabouts. Bai Mengmeng waited until noon before he came out to eat. Seizing the opportunity, she accidentally knocked his phone to the ground when the waiter was serving the food.
Unexpectedly, his actions led him to successfully obtain important information.
Xiao Bai hurriedly said, "Mengmeng, hurry home, there's important information."
After meeting and negotiating with him, Bai Mengmeng rushed back home without stopping.
Bai Mengmeng sighed, "Go ahead and tell me, I'm exhausted."
Xiao Bai recounted the whole story of this person: "The project you gave to Zhao Ming was actually arranged for you on purpose. They wanted to play the long game and catch a big fish, but Zhao Ming took the project they had already arranged, so they had no choice but to cut their losses in time. Also, when they learned that you intended to form a marriage alliance with the Lu family, they sent Zhao Ming to deal with the Lu family. Their real goal was to bring down the Bai family and replace them."
Bai Mengmeng dared not think too much about it. If she had really been right about this project and invested money, and then let them trap her, the little cash flow that the Bai family had left would not have been enough to keep the company running.
Bai Mengmeng grew increasingly angry, wanting to roar in protest against being framed. "Who on earth wants to bring down the Bai family? They're utterly ungrateful! Now that I, Bai Mengmeng, have transmigrated, I won't stand idly by!" She never imagined the male lead would one day be cannon fodder. She originally thought dealing with Zhu Ting and Zhao Ming would be enough. Bai Mengmeng found it increasingly absurd; the downfall of the Lu family was actually manipulated by someone else. Otherwise, how could the Zhao family have been so easily brought down with just a few pieces of evidence?
Bai Mengmeng was silent for a moment, then made a very important decision, "Xiao Bai, cheer up, we need to get to work. It's probably going to be a tough battle."
A short while later, Lu Ze arrived. Seeing that Bai Mengmeng's expression wasn't good, Lu Ze asked, "Why did you call me over in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
Bai Mengmeng solemnly told him, "I have just learned some other information. The Zhao family is just a shield. There are other forces behind it that are instigating what happened to your family back then. That's all I know."
Lu Ze had thought his revenge was imminent, and he would soon witness the Zhao family's downfall. He hadn't expected other forces to be manipulating things behind the scenes. Lu Ze stood up and looked into the distance, his expression gloomy. "Mengmeng, can we win?" He could only place his hopes on Bai Mengmeng now. If she also gave up, he might not have the courage to start again.
Bai Mengmeng is like a ray of light illuminating Lu Ze's life; we can do it, but this is a tough battle.
