Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.

Jiang Yan nodded silently, indicating that she understood the implications. She knew that if her secret were revealed, it would bring endless pain and torment. Therefore, she decided to remain silent for the time being and wait for the right opportunity to reveal the truth.

Then, Jiang Yan turned and left, walking resolutely towards home. Her retreating figure conveyed a sense of determination and fortitude, as if she were already prepared to face the challenges of the future.

Bai Mengmeng, who witnessed everything, silently watched Jiang Yan's departing figure, pondering to herself. She realized that this matter might involve a deeper conspiracy and scheming, but there was no concrete evidence yet. Therefore, she decided to send her subordinates to conduct an in-depth investigation to find out the truth.

As Jiang Yan walked away, Bai Mengmeng's gaze sharpened. She resolved to uncover the truth behind this mystery and protect herself and those around her. A thrilling contest was about to unfold…

Lu Ze patted Bai Mengmeng on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "It's time for an ending." Bai Mengmeng nodded slightly, a resolute glint in her eyes. Lu Ze held her hand tightly, and they walked upstairs together.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's greatest worry was her daughter. She racked her brains, trying to find a suitable reason to take her daughter away. Lost in thought, Jiang Yan was completely unaware that her husband had returned home. Suddenly, a strong hand roughly grabbed her hair, and a harsh voice demanded, "Aren't you going to cook? What are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Yan seized the opportunity to voice her concerns: "I'm worried about our daughter's safety..."

However, Jiang Yan's husband scoffed, "Hmph, he's just a beast. What are you so afraid of?" Hearing this, Jiang Yan felt a surge of intense anger. But helpless at that moment, she could only suppress her rage and continue, "It was that man named Lu Ze who tried to kidnap my daughter." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's husband perked up, excitedly saying, "Oh? That kid finally made a move? Great! This way, I can find another opportunity to squeeze some money out of him!"

Seeing her husband's greedy expression, Jiang Yan felt incredibly disappointed and angry. After he left, a thought suddenly struck her: "Since that's the case, why not pretend to be kidnapped? That way, he'll definitely go to Jiang An to explain the situation." With that in mind, Jiang Yan decided to take action.

Jiang Yan thought it was a feasible opportunity for Lu Ze to kidnap her daughter, so she went to discuss it with Bai Mengmeng. Bai Mengmeng also thought it was an opportunity, but the plan still needed to be further refined and perfected. However, when Lu Ze heard about the plan, he immediately objected: "How could I do something like kidnapping someone? Besides, if it's proven that I kidnapped your daughter, are you sure this won't become public knowledge?"

Jiang Yan suddenly realized that she hadn't considered these consequences. She felt very sorry and admitted that she hadn't thought things through. Lu Ze comforted her, saying, "You're probably too anxious right now, that's why you think like that." Bai Mengmeng also realized that she had been stirring things up earlier and felt equally sorry, admitting that she had also been too hasty and hadn't thought things through.

Lu Ze continued, "It's alright, having an idea is good, it might come in handy someday! Now that you've regained your memories, do you know how to get home?" After careful consideration, Jiang Yan replied, "I remember there was a small tunnel leading to the outside world, but I don't know if it still exists." Lu Ze suggested they go back to see her father first, and then discuss their next steps. Hearing this, Jiang Yan's eyes gradually reddened.

Bai Mengmeng found an opportunity to take Jiang Yan back to their former home. The courtyard was dilapidated, as if it had been forgotten by time. Weeds grew rampant, and fallen leaves covered the ground, clearly indicating that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

A deep sense of self-reproach and regret welled up in Jiang Yan's heart. She blamed herself for being too trusting and failing to see through those people's conspiracy, which led to her letting the wolf into her house and causing the current situation. However, no amount of self-reproach could change reality. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, rallied her spirits, and began searching for the old burrow.

Before long, Jiang Yan found the entrance to the cave hidden in the corner. Without hesitation, she and Bai Mengmeng crawled into the cave and headed towards the home they remembered.

Upon entering the house, Jiang Yan felt a familiar yet strange atmosphere. Although the house appeared somewhat old, it wasn't as desolate as the outside. She carefully looked around, hoping to find traces of her father.

Jiang Yan went up to the second floor and finally saw her father in her own room. Her father sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring blankly out the window, clutching a photo of the two of them tightly in his hand.

Jiang Yan held back her tears and called out softly in a trembling voice, "Dad, I'm back!" Her voice seemed to carry endless longing and grievances, making people feel pity for her.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang's father trembled slightly, seemingly unable to believe his ears. He slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty, and tentatively asked, "Is...is it my daughter?" His voice was full of anticipation and nervousness, fearing that it was just an illusion.

Jiang Yan could no longer control her emotions. She rushed over and hugged her father tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Dad, it really is me!" Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with longing and guilt for her father.

Seeing this scene, Bai Mengmeng was deeply moved. She silently went downstairs, giving the father and daughter enough space to express their longing for each other.

Jiang's father hugged his daughter tightly, feeling her warmth and real presence, and was moved to tears. He murmured to himself, "I thought you would never come back..." His words revealed a deep sense of loss and sorrow.

Jiang Yan looked at her father with heartache, tears streaming down her face. She explained, "Dad, I was framed by them. For the past few months, I've been living under Jiang An's close surveillance. Only recently, by chance, did I meet Bai Mengmeng, the daughter of the Bai family, and finally have the opportunity to return home to visit you." Her voice was filled with helplessness and resentment, expressing strong dissatisfaction with those who had hurt her.

Jiang's father hugged his daughter tightly, comforting her, "It's good that you're back. Dad has been thinking about you and worried that you weren't doing well." At this moment, he was filled with joy, his eyes only for his daughter whom he had lost and found again. Jiang Yan led her father out of the room and down to the first floor.
