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

After calming down, they devised a plan. "We don't know that person's background, so let's wait and see. He started by manipulating a project, and I'm afraid he'll try the same trick again. For now, don't sign any investment return contracts, but don't let him find out either. Make up an excuse." Bai Mengmeng knew that if they got dragged into this, countless wolves would want a piece, and the consequences would be even worse. They couldn't fight an unprepared battle. "Since he's here, if he fails with the first one, he'll try a second. Let's wait and see."

A few days later, Bai Mengmeng secretly received news of the auction, and Lu Ze received the same news the next day. Both of them found the matter suspicious. "They're auctioning off a piece of land, but I didn't receive any news myself. Instead, someone else sent me an invitation to see this land. It seems like a good investment, but something's fishy. We can't jump to conclusions." Bai Mengmeng was quite confident in her resources. If they hadn't even gotten information about this, it seemed like a trap. Suddenly, something occurred to Bai Mengmeng. "This is their scheme. They want to lure us in. It looks like a good investment project, but actually, they're just using it to siphon off our cash. They're finding a legal and plausible reason to temporarily tie up our money. They only need to tie up our cash flow, and then they can put the company in a passive position. If all goes well, information about this project should soon be sent to various companies to make us truly believe it's a good project. How about this: if he shows up, we'll go meet him in person. If he doesn't, we don't need to take this project; we'll just let someone else have it."

Lu Ze agreed with Bai Mengmeng's statement. After all, this project wasn't that important, but it was necessary to create the impression that they were determined to win.

Two days have passed since the various families received the news. Bai Mengmeng, in an attempt to lure the enemy out, has been actively consolidating her cash flow, and Lu Ze's company is cooperating with her. Seeing this, and after investigation, everyone concluded it was a good project.

As Bai Mengmeng's best friend, Liu Lin brought a lot of information: "Even you are so interested in this land, it seems to be a good investment project. Right now, powerful families are all trying to recoup their funds, just to bid for this land."

Bai Mengmeng was very happy to hear that the outside world was now following suit.

Liu Lin saw her grinning foolishly and said, "So many people are competing with you, and you're still grinning like an idiot." Liu Lin's family hadn't even considered this matter. Once they heard that several powerful families were making moves, they knew it was impossible for them to get a chance.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a piece of land. It's just a matter of who has more money and who has less." Bai Mengmeng's main purpose was not to bid.

A few days later, early in the morning, Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze were waiting for news at the auction.

Lu Ze, thinking about his connection to his father, remained restless. Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng leisurely watched a TV series beside him.

"Can you please stop shaking me? It's making me dizzy. What's meant to happen will happen. If they don't show up this time, there's always next time. If that doesn't work, we'll just keep waiting. I don't believe they can hold out any longer."

Lu Ze said with concern, "I don't want to wander around. I just want to know who is behind this. They have such great abilities, and we still haven't been able to find out."

Lu Ze was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Butler Li, who was standing next to him, finally received the message, "Miss, they said he left the hotel and went to the auction venue."

Before Bai Mengmeng could speak, Lu Ze grabbed her and rushed out the door.

The auction was a big event, attracting many people, most of whom came to see who would win the bid.

Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze's group entered the venue and began searching for the man. Finally, they spotted him inconspicuously in the middle.

Bai Mengmeng looked at him and said, "This guy doesn't sit in the front or the back, and he's not even pretending to be a reporter standing. He actually sat in the middle. Lu Ze, go sit next to him. I have to sit in the front so that he can stay here. Remember to make sure you get a shot of his face with the camera. If you can't, create an opportunity. Keep in touch with him anytime."

After Bai Mengmeng left, Lu Ze went to the back of him. Lu Ze was also quick-witted and noticed that there was no company seat next to him, probably intentionally to avoid being noticed. He used his connections to have the staff arrange for him to sit there at the beginning, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Lu Ze pretended to be very excited. He had never been to such an event before, and asked the man, "Brother, which company do you work for?"

To avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion, the man next to him gave a pre-arranged name, which happened to be related to Lu Ze's business. Lu Ze, as if he'd opened a floodgate, said, "What a coincidence! I'm also thinking of doing this. I have a company from out of town, and I'm new to this. Could I have your business card? I can ask you if I have any questions." Seeing Lu Ze's clueless expression, the man felt awkward about lying and handed him a business card. Lu Ze, also pretending to be clueless, dialed the number. The man's phone didn't ring, and the number was disconnected. The man was dumbfounded; someone actually made a phone call to his face. He had no choice but to give Lu Ze his own number. Only then did Lu Ze listen quietly.

Many bigwigs, upon hearing that Bai Mengmeng was at the scene, rushed over eagerly, hoping to network. Today was truly a gathering of powerful figures. Word spread quickly, and numerous reporters flocked to the area, which was now completely packed with people.

Once the bidding began, no one was willing to give in. To make her performance convincing, Bai Mengmeng would occasionally raise her paddle. The man stared intently at Bai Mengmeng, making this the most intense bidding session ever.

Lu Ze noticed that more than two hours had passed. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to the man next to him. The man was not on guard and took off his mask to drink the water, which allowed the camera to capture his face. Seeing that he had succeeded, Lu Ze notified Bai Mengmeng.

Bai Mengmeng received the message and sat leisurely to the side, casually raising her bidding paddle to subtly increase the price, watching the other families still fiercely bidding. As the price rose higher and higher, only a few people could secure the bid. With the final three hammer blows, the Wang family successfully won the bid. A group of people congratulated the Wang family on their victory.

Seeing the man beside him clearly angry, Lu Ze grabbed his things and quickly left the area. Lu Ze could only sneakily follow behind. After circling around a few corners, the man turned into the fire escape. Lu Ze overheard him on the phone, saying, "We didn't manage to take down the Bai family this time. It's the Wang family now. Should we continue?" The man didn't say much more before heading towards the basement. By the time Lu Ze caught up, the man was gone.

Bai Mengmeng also confirmed who it was based on the photos sent by Lu Ze.
