Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.
Chapter 59 Face to Face
For several days in a row, Bai Mengmeng stayed in the ward without leaving for a moment. Her father, feeling sorry for his daughter's exhaustion, couldn't help but urge her, "Mengmeng, you should go back and get some rest!" Liu Ting chimed in, "Yes, Mengmeng, look how thin you've become, you should go back and rest!" Although reluctant, Bai Mengmeng understood that she needed to adjust her condition to better care for her father, so she left for a while.
Before leaving, Bai Mengmeng installed a surveillance camera in the ward to keep an eye on her father's condition. She knew it might be unnecessary, but she was genuinely worried. Seeing her determination, her uncle didn't stop her and let her make the arrangements.
However, shortly after Bai Mengmeng returned home, she suddenly heard a notification sound from the security camera. She quickly checked her phone and saw that it was Butler Li entering the ward. Bai Mengmeng's heart tightened, and she immediately turned the monitor volume up to the maximum and rushed to the hospital.
As Bai Mengmeng rushed to the hospital, she saw Butler Li talking as he approached her uncle's bedside. "I knew you were alright," her uncle said, looking at him in surprise. "Why did you push me downstairs?" Butler Li's emotions were spiraling out of control. He shouted frantically, "Do you know? Every time I see you two so happy, I get incredibly angry." Her uncle frowned, puzzled. "What does this have to do with happiness?" Butler Li sighed, a flicker of pain and despair in his eyes. "I've been searching for my son for so many years, but there's still no news. I don't believe he just vanished into thin air..."
Uncle Bai was stunned by what Butler Li said, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion: "You...who exactly are you?"
Standing to the side, Butler Li looked at the scene before him and asked, "Bai Wenxun, don't you remember?"
Upon hearing Butler Li's words, Uncle Bai seemed to wake from a dream, trying hard to recall the memories that the name represented. His gaze gradually focused on Butler Li, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "So you are Li Wei, then your son must be Li Lin."
Seeing that Uncle Bai still remembered him, Li Wei felt a surge of relief, but his expression quickly turned serious: "Since you still remember me, then tell me, where is my son?"
Uncle Bai frowned, trying hard to recall what had happened before, but he truly knew nothing about Li Lin's whereabouts. He shook his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know Li Lin's location. However, Li Wei didn't easily believe his answer and continued to press, "You must know something! Our Li family and your Bai family have always been the biggest enemies. Besides you, who else would want to harm my son?"
Upon hearing Li Wei mention the past grievances, Uncle Bai's face instantly darkened, and he angrily questioned, "When you abducted my Mengmeng back then, why didn't you consider these consequences? Now that something has happened, you want to push all the responsibility onto me. Do you think that's appropriate?"
At this moment, Bai Mengmeng, watching from outside the screen, also heard the conversation between the two and was shocked. She never expected that Li Wei was actually Li Lin's father. After learning that Bai Wenxun might know Li Lin's whereabouts, Li Wei rushed home in a fit of rage and shoved Uncle Bai. Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng hurriedly arrived at the hospital, bringing a group of people to block the entrance, but Uncle Bai shook his head, signaling Li Wei to leave.
Bai Mengmeng watched Li Wei's departing figure, her mind filled with complex emotions. She knew that Li Wei had been searching for his missing son, and this incident might just be a misunderstanding. But regardless, the feud between the Bai and Li families was deeply rooted and difficult to resolve.
Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Uncle Bai relaxed and decided to be discharged from the hospital to rest at home. Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng also felt exhausted, both physically and mentally, and returned home as well. Lying in bed, she began to recall everything that had happened that day. Especially when she mentioned being kidnapped as a child, she couldn't help but frown, filled with doubt. She pondered to herself, "Kidnapped as a child? What does that mean?"
Bai Meng thought for a moment and decided to ask Luffy about it. So, she picked up her phone and sent Luffy a message: "Do you know anything about my kidnapping?"
Upon receiving Bai Mengmeng's message, Luffy's expression turned serious. He stared at the screen, lost in deep thought. It turned out that Bai Mengmeng's kidnapping had occurred when she was very young and couldn't remember anything. At that time, she and a group of children were playing mischievously, and Luffy had been among them. However, when he sensed something was wrong, he immediately ran home to tell his parents, ultimately successfully rescuing Bai Mengmeng. And the culprit behind all of this was none other than Li Lin.
Luffy knew this was a disgraceful matter for both families. After all, both the Li family and the Luffy family were wealthy and powerful clans, and they had been too lenient with their children, leading them to make such a mistake. Looking back now, Luffy was filled with remorse.
Luffy quickly replied to Bai Mengmeng's message: "Would it be convenient for us to meet?"
Bai Mengmeng's heart tightened when she saw the message. She realized that this matter was not so simple, so she replied without hesitation, "Okay." She got up to go out and meet Luffy.
Luffy was already waiting for Bai Mengmeng at the secret base, wanting to explain things to her. When Bai Mengmeng opened the door, she saw Luffy sitting in the living room and immediately sprawled on the sofa. Luffy said to Bai Mengmeng, "You're here?" But Bai Mengmeng didn't look at him.
Seeing Bai Mengmeng like this, Luffy felt very guilty. He knew he had done something wrong, but he still couldn't help asking Bai Mengmeng how she guessed it. Bai Mengmeng replied, "I've known you for so long, don't I know who you are? You must have some unspeakable reason." Luffy didn't expect her to guess so quickly, and looked at her in surprise. Then, his voice trembling, he apologized to Bai Mengmeng, "I'm sorry, Mengmeng, I was so foolish when I was little, and I did a lot of wrong things."
Bai Mengmeng didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to know the truth. So, she stopped Luffy from apologizing and made him tell her what had happened. Luffy had already recalled most of the details on the way here, and now, hearing Bai Mengmeng's request, he began to recount the events.
Luffy recounted in detail what happened to the Li family in City A back then, as well as the circumstances of Li Lin's disappearance. After listening, Bai Mengmeng asked, "So, Li Lin went missing when they left America?" Luffy thought for a moment and replied, "Around that time, the Li family was in a hurry to leave City A for some reason, so after searching for a few days without receiving any news, they left."
