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

Qiao Mu was filled with doubt and confusion; he couldn't understand why he had been tricked. He had thought everything would go according to plan, but unexpectedly, he had suddenly fallen into this predicament. Sitting in Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze's car, Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and helplessness. Looking at the scenery rushing past the car window, his mood grew increasingly heavy.

"Hmph!" Qiao Mu couldn't help but snort coldly, thinking to himself, "How could I be so unlucky? Things have become a mess after I met these two people. Is it because their appearance disrupted my plans? Or is someone deliberately setting a trap for me?"

Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng was reviewing Qiao Mu's profile when a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. It turned out that Qiao Mu was merely a puppet, with a much larger force controlling everything behind the scenes. This discovery caught Bai Mengmeng off guard; she had assumed Qiao Mu was the mastermind, but the truth was far from the truth.

"This is really unexpected..." Bai Mengmeng murmured to herself, "They actually sent a celebrity to be the scapegoat, this role is really special." As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Mu, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and wariness.

Bai Mengmeng decided to stop beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "Who's your backer?" Qiao Mu's heart sank. He knew that Bai Mengmeng had already received the information when he mentioned the name, but he hadn't expected them to react so quickly. So, he forced a smile and replied, "Why should I answer your question?" Hearing this, Bai Mengmeng laughed, a hint of disdain in her voice. Then she said, "Do you think you can get out of this car today?"

Qiao Mu's face turned pale instantly. He realized things were out of his control. The car was speeding along the highway; he had no chance to jump out and escape. He asked anxiously, "What exactly do you want?" Bai Mengmeng looked at him expressionlessly and said bluntly, "Actually, we already kidnapped the person who was supposed to pick you up. Logically speaking, if you were the real mastermind, you wouldn't have come in person. So, who is he?" Qiao Mu never expected his identity to be exposed so quickly.

Lu Ze sped along, arriving at his destination as quickly as possible. Qiao Mu was immediately restrained the moment he appeared, and he roared furiously, "Are you all crazy?! I'm a superstar! Are you afraid that if you treat me like this, I won't reply to your messages? How are you going to fight them then?"

Bai Mengmeng didn't even want to look at him, and coldly said, "Starve him for a few days, then keep a close eye on what's happening in America." After saying that, she and Lu Ze turned and left without hesitation.

Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze returned home. As soon as they entered, Lu Ze thoughtfully went to the kitchen and heated up a bowl of soup, bringing it to Bai Mengmeng. He said gently, "Drink something hot to warm your stomach, don't catch a cold." Bai Mengmeng sat on the sofa, quietly gazing out the window, and sighed, "Winter came so quickly." She took the hot soup from Lu Ze with both hands, gently blew on it to cool it, and then sipped it slowly. A warm feeling spread throughout her body, making her feel very comfortable. She smiled and said to Lu Ze, "This is so comforting, you should have some too." Lu Ze smiled and replied, "I already drank some when I brought it to you." After saying that, he gently put his arm around Bai Mengmeng's shoulder, and they both looked out the window.

Just then, snowflakes began to fall from the sky outside the window, fluttering down in a gentle, swirling motion. Bai Mengmeng pointed out the window with delight, exclaiming excitedly, "Look, how beautiful the snowflakes are!" Lu Ze followed her gaze, watching the pure white snowflakes dance in the air, and his heart felt exceptionally peaceful. He couldn't help but gently kiss Bai Mengmeng's cheek, saying tenderly, "I wish time could stand still forever, so we could always be together to enjoy this beautiful snow scene." Bai Mengmeng nestled against Lu Ze's chest, feeling his warmth and love, her heart filled with happiness. They sat quietly by the window, savoring this beautiful moment.

Lu Ze gently carried Bai Mengmeng back into the house, his movements so tender as if he were afraid of waking her. He watched Bai Mengmeng sleep peacefully, a doting smile on his face. After confirming that Bai Mengmeng was sound asleep, Lu Ze put on his clothes and silently walked towards the door.

Not long after, Lu Ze arrived at a house. Pushing open the door, he immediately saw the mysterious man. This was their second meeting, but it felt as if they had just met. Lu Ze calmly walked to the mysterious man and sat down quietly.

“I see you have arrived,” the mysterious man said first.

Lu Ze smiled slightly: "Yes, I'm here."

A hint of admiration flashed in the mysterious man's eyes: "You're very clever, but why didn't you tell Bai Mengmeng I was here?"

Lu Ze smiled and said, "It's good to let Qiao Mu suffer a little."

The mysterious man looked at Lu Ze, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Ze met his gaze calmly and said slowly, "I just want to know the truth."

The mysterious man sneered, "The truth? Hmph, you'll find out. But right now, I need to take my revenge—revenge on everyone!"

Lu Ze frowned, not wanting to waste any more words with this person, and said directly, "Give me a name, it's not appropriate to keep calling you 'mysterious person'."

The mysterious man hesitated for a moment, but finally answered, "My name is Wang Cheng."

Lu Ze turned and left his house, gazing at the heavy snowfall. He wondered if his name was truly real. Snowflakes fluttered down, gradually turning his hair white. He secretly rejoiced that he had seen the first snow of the year with Bai Mengmeng, thankfully she was still by his side.

He tiptoed back home, gently taking off his coat, careful not to wake Bai Mengmeng who was fast asleep. He first checked on her, and seeing she was still asleep, he went to the kitchen, drank a sip of steaming soup, and immediately felt much warmer. Then, he returned inside, carefully tucked Bai Mengmeng in, and turned off the air conditioner. Now, the air conditioner outside was blowing out warm air, making the whole house exceptionally comfortable.

After doing all this, Lu Ze lay down peacefully beside Bai Mengmeng, feeling her breathing, and his heart gradually calmed down. He knew that with Bai Mengmeng by his side, he would not feel lonely or cold. The love between them was as pure and beautiful as the first snow, something he was willing to protect for a lifetime.
