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

Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze finally returned home. "Butler Li, how's the investigation I asked you to do?"

“Miss, there are no problems with the company’s operations. I have thoroughly investigated the people in charge. They are just there to work and have no other bad records.”

"Let's do due diligence on the company, as soon as possible."

Lu Ze had always wondered, "Why is he willing to give up 51% of the shares, so that we would have relative control over his company?"

"Better safe than sorry. We don't lack that little bit of money. It's not like he can't develop in City A. I suspect he wants to use us as a stepping stone. There's no rush. There are many ways to establish alliances. We don't need to take over an unfamiliar company and leave ourselves with potential problems." All Bai Mengmeng could do was avoid confrontation. She didn't yet know the other party's intentions.

"Mengmeng, I was so worried about you! You have to compensate me for your phone being off today." Wang Fei was so anxious that she was about to call the police, but Butler Li said that Miss had other plans and would notify her as soon as she returned.

Bai Mengmeng was also having a headache from thinking about it when Wang Fei came to cheer her up, saying, "Tell me how I can make it up to you."

Wang Fei's eyes widened. "Then you have to promise me, okay? I've invited Liu Lin to have an outdoor barbecue together. I've already booked the place, but..." Wang Fei turned to look at Lu Ze, who was puzzled. Was he henpecked and wouldn't let her go? "Don't worry, I'll go too."

Wang Fei sighed, her mind too dense, "I wanted you to call Ji Feng to come out with us."

Lu Zecai suddenly realized what was going on. "I'll call him for you. If he doesn't come out, I'll kidnap him. Is that alright?" Wang Fei nodded in satisfaction.

Liu Lin, Wang Fei, and Bai Mengmeng went to select ingredients, but Lu Ze had already gone to kidnap Ji Feng.

Li Yan went directly to find Zhao Xu from the deep forest. Li Yan looked at the chess piece he had carefully cultivated and was furious. He slapped him across the face and said, "Are you out of your mind? You actually had a relationship with her. How can you be so shameless? I raised you up, and this is how you repay me? If my brother finds out that you were behind this, you won't even know where you are in the world."

Zhao Xu covered his swollen cheek. "Brother Yan, it's not that bad. I just provided a little bit of information. I didn't do anything."

"You're still unaware of the truth. Do you know why Bai Mengmeng did this? It's because you went to see my brother, which exposed him and made her discover your relationship with him. Bai Mengmeng fabricated some false information, which you reported to my brother without verifying it. She even has videos of you and Zhu Ting. You'll have to clean up the mess yourself." Li Yan watched as a pawn he had cultivated was ruined by a woman.

Zhao Xu was at a loss when he heard this. He clearly understood that everyone was in disarray. I had just arranged to meet Li Yuan. It was my own carelessness.

"Please, give me another chance. I promise I'll do whatever you say," Zhao Xu kowtowed frantically.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Yan said, "Find a way to get rid of Zhao Ming. As for Zhu Ting, keep her for now. I'll help you keep this a secret. You know what to do, right?"

Zhao Xu stared intently at Li Yan as he left, feeling extremely resentful. Why should I have to pay for your lives just because I received favors from you two? One day I will trample you under my feet.

Li Yan returned to the home he had just prepared. "What's she up to?"

"Reporting to Master, she has gone camping." This person appeared silently, her face covered, making it impossible to see who she was.

"Give me a spot, I'll go myself."

Lu Ze and Ji Feng arrived at their destination first.

When Lu Ze saw him, he thought of what happened that night. "What happened between you and Liu Lin in the end?"

Upon hearing this name, Ji Feng panicked terribly, saying, "We haven't had any relationship."

"Your face is all red. They'll be here soon, so you'd better figure it out. Take my advice: if they're really interested in you, and if you're interested in them too, why don't you get together?"

Bai Mengmeng watched the two of them sitting together, and seeing Lu Ze grinning, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lu Ze, what are you two talking about? It's enough to make Ji Feng blush."

Lu Ze chuckled, a mischievous grin spreading across his face, and said, "What else can I talk about? It's nothing more than how many benefits there are for us being together." He then winked at Ji Feng on purpose.

Actually, before Bai Mengmeng and Wang Fei arrived, they had already asked Liu Lin for her opinion. At the time, Liu Lin was a little shy and stammered, unable to speak. In the end, Wang Fei asked directly, "Do you like Ji Feng or not? It's that simple, give us a straight answer! If you like him, then we'll help you play matchmaker; if you don't, then let's just treat this as a gathering of ordinary friends, and we won't bring it up again."

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Lin finally mustered up the courage to admit, "Okay, I admit I like him." Upon hearing this, Wang Fei said without hesitation, "For our sister's happiness, we'll help her even if it means going through fire and water." Bai Mengmeng, standing to the side, also gave her a firm look, expressing her support.

Then, Faye Wong encouraged everyone to get moving, saying, "What are you sitting there for? Let's get started! It's just the two of us today, so everyone should relax and not be shy." So, everyone began preparing the ingredients for the upcoming barbecue.

Meanwhile, at a campsite on the opposite shore of the lake, someone sat quietly, secretly observing everything that was happening on this side.

Drinking is definitely better! Before long, Liu Lin was already completely drunk, insisting on hugging Ji Feng.

Looking at her adorable appearance, Ji Feng's heart softened, and he reached out to hug her tightly. This action immediately drew cheers from the crowd.

However, just as Liu Lin was about to push her luck, Bai Mengmeng stepped in to salvage the situation, reminding her, "Girls should be more reserved. The boys haven't made any moves yet, so we girls can't be so proactive."

The party soon ended, and everyone returned to their own tents to rest. Liu Lin, Wang Fei, and Bai Mengmeng stayed in the same tent, while Lu Ze and Ji Feng stayed in another tent.

A short while later, Lu Ze sent Bai Mengmeng a WeChat message, telling her that Ji Feng had gone out. Surprisingly, Liu Lin also followed him out of the tent shortly after.

What an unexpected scene! The two were seen kissing by the lakeside, and the onlookers, unable to bear the sight, dispersed.

In the dead of night, Bai Mengmeng suddenly felt something was amiss. She cautiously peered out through the gaps in the tent and discovered that someone was staring intently at them from the opposite side.

Instantly, Bai Mengmeng broke out in a cold sweat. Even though this was a camping trip in the wild, the security measures should have been top-notch...
