“Cough cough … How can something that costs tens of thousands taste so bad?” After grumbling and complaining, Bai Zhou walked toward the large bed in the room. He lifted the bedsheet and bent down, calling out: “Alright, you can come out now.”

A delicate, pale arm extended from beneath the bed. Earlier, Bai Zhou had swiftly cut the ropes binding Mu Qingqing, setting her free. However, since Li Yonggang had already arrived, there wasn’t time to escape, so Bai Zhou had hidden her under the bed.

Mu Qingqing crawled out from under the bed, dusting off the dirt on her light blue dress. But her gaze remained fixed on Bai Zhou—wary but also filled with curiosity!

“Why did you save me?” Her voice was cold, with a distant tone, as if she didn’t even feel grateful for Bai Zhou’s help.

Of course, Bai Zhou wasn’t surprised by this reaction. After all, in the original novel, the female protagonist Mu Qingqing had this very kind of personality. It was only after the original male lead’s persistent efforts over time that she became the leader of his harem.

Right now, though, the original male lead was probably still just the head of her family’s security team, right?

Although Mu Qingqing had a perfect, slender figure, the space under the bed was too small, and there was a noticeable tear on the side of her skirt, revealing a flash of pale skin.

Bai Zhou couldn’t help but mutter, “Very fair!”

But he quickly took off his suit jacket, stepped forward, and wrapped it around Mu Qingqing’s waist.

Seeing Bai Zhou’s actions, Mu Qingqing instinctively wanted to back away, but she didn’t. Instead, she kept staring straight at him.

While fastening the jacket, Bai Zhou said: “I didn’t save you; I did it to save myself.”

“Save yourself?”

Mu Qingqing was completely baffled by Bai Zhou’s response. But she still added: “Regardless, I should still thank you. Li Yonggang dared to kidnap me! I’ll make sure he pays for this!”

“Heh, what a foolish girl.”

“Huh? What … what did you say?”

Mu Qingqing was taken aback. Foolish girl?

That term … No one had ever dared to call her that! She was the heiress of the Mu Group, after all, and the sole future successor to the corporation.

Was she really foolish?!

Before she could respond further, Bai Zhou continued: “How exactly are you going to make him pay? By reporting it to the police?”

Hearing this, Mu Qingqing instinctively nodded, even though she didn’t quite understand why.

“You really are a foolish girl, huh?”

“I’m not foolish!!” Mu Qingqing found herself refuting this stranger’s words, not even sure why she felt the need to argue. Her voice even carried a hint of coquettishness—a tone entirely out of character for an ice-cold heroine like her!

Bai Zhou found her sudden change amusing but went on to say: “You think you’re not foolish? Li Yonggang has Li Tai backing him. The Li family’s wealth far surpasses your Mu Group’s. Do you really think reporting him to the police would harm him?”

Mu Qingqing froze upon hearing these words.

He’s right! The Li family is more powerful than our Mu Group! If I report it, the Li family will probably just find some scapegoat! And worse, Li Yonggang might retaliate even more fiercely in the future!

Mu Qingqing wasn’t truly foolish—she understood immediately. Of course, she could have figured it out on her own, but she was still furious at the moment.

Her curiosity about Bai Zhou deepened as she glanced at him, thinking to herself: Is he really just a low-level lackey under Li Tai? How could he see things so clearly?

As she pondered this, the door to the room was suddenly flung open again.

“Everyone inside, don’t move! Hands up!”

Three uniformed officers burst in, aiming their guns directly at Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou sighed and threw up his hands in exasperation: “Here we go again!”

A line from an old Hong Kong movie flashed through his mind: “I swear, I’ll never let anyone point a gun at my head again!”

Of course, Little Brother Ma forever remains the greatest (yyds)*.

[*yyds is a Chinese internet slang for “forever the greatest”]

Bai Zhou didn’t have such lofty ambitions. At that moment, a young man in his twenties with a handsome face and wearing a security uniform rushed in behind the officers. Pointing at Bai Zhou, he shouted: “Arrest him! He kidnapped the Mu family’s eldest daughter!”

Then, with a quick step, he ran over to Mu Qingqing, who was still standing by the bed, wrapped in Bai Zhou’s jacket. His face filled with concern, he asked: “Qingqing, are you alright?”

Bai Zhou looked at him.

Isn’t this guy the original male lead from the novel?

Apparently, he had been training in the mountains and forests for years, so his combat skills were off the charts! He was supposed to be Mu Qingqing’s bodyguard, but since she didn’t want him around, he ended up working as the head of her security team.

Bai Zhou smirked. On his first day after transmigrating, he had already met the original male lead, the original female lead, and the main villain? Interesting!

Meanwhile, the officers had already pulled out their shiny handcuffs and were preparing to arrest Bai Zhou.

But Mu Qingqing suddenly spoke up: “What are you doing? He didn’t kidnap me!”
