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

Bai Mengmeng discovered that his name was Li Yuan, but he had been living abroad. Further investigation yielded no results, as if the mystery remained unsolved. Since there was a grudge, she might as well ask her elders, who might know something.

None of the Bai family members expected that he was actually from the Li family. The Li family had a financial dispute with the Bai family, and due to the poor economic situation at the time, they had not been able to overcome the difficulties. They had sought help from the Bai family, but the Bai family was barely managing to stay afloat and refused their request. He had sought help from many other families, but ultimately had no choice but to flee abroad with his wife, children, and elderly parents, and they have been missing ever since. Unexpectedly, he has reappeared this time, and even has a powerful backer, and has taken the opportunity to harm the Lu family.

Uncle Bai sighed, "We're already in a precarious situation ourselves. It's not that we don't want to help him, but he's probably blaming the Bai family for all the mistakes he made before, which is why he's targeting us like this now. We don't even know who's behind this. Everyone should be careful with their projects. After all, our family is a big name and we might get caught up in some crisis. Luckily, Mengmeng knew about this land bidding beforehand, otherwise we would have been trapped."

Everyone understood that if they could take down the Lu family with a few tricks, they could certainly take down the Bai family with a little effort. The enemy was lurking in the shadows, so caution was the best course of action.

Meanwhile, the Wang family, having acquired the land, gained immense fame and used the opportunity to promote their products for free.

Wang Fei even came to Bai Mengmeng and Liu Lin to show off. "I heard one of you has no talent and the other has no money. Oh dear, how come you two both have met the same fate?"

Liu Lin wanted to vent her anger after hearing these words, but Bai Mengmeng pulled her back. "There's plenty of time in the future," Bai Mengmeng said, then pulled Liu Lin away, leaving Wang Fei alone, still seething with anger.

Liu Lin also blamed Bai Mengmeng for not letting her argue with her, saying, "Seeing her smug look on her face, I really wanted to punch her a couple of times."

"Why are you angry? The angrier you are, the happier she will be. We don't need that piece of land." Bai Mengmeng comforted her while thinking that they should make a move soon.

A few days later, Butler Li received the news and immediately reported it. "Miss, several contracts with the Wang family have been suspended. I don't know why, but it doesn't matter. They are some small contracts and won't cause much of a problem."

"You don't understand. A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. It may seem insignificant, but it can gradually erode them. Now that they have such a big project, no one will care about those details."

"Keep an eye on our company lately for any changes or strange occurrences. They're using the same methods to target other companies." Bai Mengmeng had read countless novels; she knew she could handle a few tricks.

Bai Mengmeng knew Lu Ze's style of doing things; he wouldn't act rashly or impulsively. Having been fooled once, he wouldn't do it again. So she never gave Lu Ze any further instructions.

The Wang family quickly began construction on the land they acquired, starting with a commercial street and a primary school project. However, the Wang family was frantic, like ants on a hot plate. News of their attempts to borrow money from various companies had spread far and wide, but no one would lend them any. They were all laughing at them, as the Wang family had immediately adopted a condescending attitude after winning the project. Not only their elders, but Liu Lingguang had already offended many young masters and ladies, and now they refused to lend money, and banks were unwilling to provide loans. Uncle Wang didn't actually know why they were all refusing. An investigation within his own company revealed that they had been canceling several cooperative contracts recently, but this hadn't been reported. Because of this, the other parties believed the Wang family was doing it intentionally.

At this point, it's too late to try to maintain the relationship. Fortunately, the funds can still last for a while. If they can't recover a certain amount of cash flow, they may go bankrupt. Otherwise, they will have to sell shares to raise funds.

Liu Lin then approached Bai Mengmeng and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Mengmeng. I spoke without thinking that day. I hope you can forgive me. I believe you have recently received some information about our family's situation. Please help us." Liu Lin bowed deeply.

It wasn't that Bai Mengmeng didn't want to lend money, but the money invested now wouldn't generate any returns for the company, and she wouldn't gain any benefits from it. Anyway, it would be enough to sustain them for a while, and she could lend a helping hand when things got really tough so that they wouldn't go bankrupt. It would also help expand the Bai family's influence.

Bai Mengmeng didn't want to give anyone a reason to criticize her. "Lin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I didn't win the bid last time, so I invested all my money in other projects, which are now unrecoverable. We don't dare to risk the company's money, especially considering your family's current situation. We can't just agree to your request. I have some of my own money here; you can use it first, at least it will last for a while."

Looking at Bai Mengmeng, Liu Lin felt deeply indebted that she was still willing to lend her money. The Wang family had pinned all their hopes on that piece of land. However, things hadn't gone as planned. They couldn't get back any of the cash they had handed over. It was like being trapped, forcing the Wang family to start selling shares and company ownership.

Bai Mengmeng knew this was the perfect opportunity, so she took the initiative to visit Uncle Wang.

The moment Bai Mengmeng entered, she saw that Uncle Wang had aged more than ten years in an instant. But a businessman wouldn't consider such things; he only cared about his own interests. Even if he didn't belong to this world, after Bai Mengmeng left, the original Bai Mengmeng would come to continue living in this world. He couldn't be so willful. "Uncle Wang, let's make a deal."

The two talked quite easily, and Bai Mengmeng invested 20 billion yuan to acquire 15% of Bai's shares. This move shocked the entire society. At the same time, Bai Mengmeng's action was undoubtedly a timely and much-needed help.

The Li family, far away in the United States, was also shocked to hear this news. They had planned to slowly wear down the Wang family and take the opportunity to buy back some shares before gradually entering the domestic market, but they did not expect the Bai family to beat them to it.

Aside from Lu Ze and Butler Li, no one knew what Bai Mengmeng intended to do with all the money she had raised. Bai Mengmeng had originally valued that piece of land, but she couldn't fall into a trap because she was afraid no one could help her through the crisis. So she could only come up with this method: if the Li family made a move, Bai Mengmeng could use the funds she had raised to invest in the family that had fallen into the trap, which was essentially a disguised investment in that piece of land.
