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

Bai Mengmeng knew what this meant for her. Although her own company would not be greatly affected, she had already invested most of her funds in the Wang and Lu families. Losing a few contracts would be a big problem.

She frowned: "Is this all the tricks they have up their sleeves?"

Butler Li suggested, "Miss, why don't we take the initiative?"

Bai Mengmeng nodded in agreement and ordered Butler Li to investigate whether similar situations existed in the Lu and Wang families. At the same time, she demanded a review of the previous due diligence report on Li Yuan's company and an investigation into who was actually helping Li Yuan. She firmly believed that the Li family did not have the capacity to support Li Yuan's business alone.

Bai Mengmeng made up her mind and said, "Since they don't know what's good for them, then I'll handle it."

Meanwhile, Li Yan sat leisurely in his office, witnessing the struggle between the Lu and Wang families. The conflict was more intense than he had anticipated, requiring no personal intervention from him. He smiled smugly, "How interesting. Before I even made a move, such a good show had already unfolded." He then issued orders to his subordinates, instructing them to closely monitor and promptly report on the every move of the Lu and Wang families.

However, due to these events, Bai Mengmeng's company was inevitably affected to some extent.

Lu Ze rushed over, his face full of anxiety, and told Bai Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, Li Yuan's company is also going to participate in the competition for that land!"

Bai Mengmeng understood that Li Yuan was forcing them to take action. She decided to meet him first, so she said, "Let's go, let's meet him first."

Upon seeing Li Yuan, Bai Mengmeng showed no expression and immediately began to mock him, "Oh, isn't this the one who sent someone to assassinate me? How dare you come here to beg for peace now? Are you too afraid to confront me head-on?" She knew that one should not hesitate to retort to such despicable people.

Li Yuan's face instantly turned extremely ugly after Bai Mengmeng's words, but he still tried to remain calm, not wanting to lose in terms of momentum. So, he retorted, "Why is President Bai so angry? The business world is like a battlefield; everyone just relies on their own abilities."

Looking at Li Yuan's ugly face, Bai Mengmeng's anger intensified. She gritted her teeth and said, "Are you also going to compete for that land?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan felt a sense of relief. He finally understood Bai Mengmeng's purpose in coming to see him. It turned out it was about the land, not to demand an explanation. He replied smugly, "Are you saying only so-called big companies like yours are allowed to participate, but small companies like ours aren't?"

Bai Mengmeng was so enraged by Li Yuan's shameless remarks that she almost hit him. She simply couldn't tolerate such rogue behavior.

Lu Ze, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, pulled Bai Mengmeng aside, preparing to take her away. Before leaving, he coldly uttered a sentence to Li Yuan: "We can talk about cooperation, but you must achieve something before you are qualified to speak with us here." After saying that, he turned and left with Bai Mengmeng. Li Yuan was left standing there alone, his face terribly gloomy, clearly very angry at Lu Ze's words.

When Li Yan learned that they had met, his heart tightened: "Is Bai Mengmeng angry?" He knew that his behavior might have displeased Bai Mengmeng, but he couldn't control his inner impulse.

"Young Master, she's angry too, but it seems Young Master Li Yuan is even angrier." Hearing this, Li Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He knew Bai Mengmeng wasn't the type to be easily swayed by emotions; she possessed a strong heart and a calm mind. But Li Yuan was different; he was always too emotional, making him easily influenced by others.

Li Yan sighed helplessly, "Fine, as long as it doesn't involve life like before." He knew his actions might trouble Bai Mengmeng, but he simply couldn't bear Li Yuan's insults towards her. He wanted to protect Bai Mengmeng, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

After returning to the company, Bai Mengmeng immediately convened a meeting with her team members. She said firmly, "Everyone must secure this contract this time."

Lu Ze asked Bai Mengmeng worriedly, "I thought you were really going to take action, so I was all prepared."

Bai Mengmeng burst into laughter: "Haha, you idiot, I was just pretending! How could I show others if I didn't act angry? Anyone with a brain knows that his power in City A is basically dependent on the Zhao family. So we need to cut off his henchmen first to weaken his strength. Just like Li Yan said last time, there's also a mastermind behind it all. We have to take it one step at a time."

After listening, Lu Ze fell into deep thought and said after a while, "I understand what you mean, but I still need time to accumulate my own strength and I can't help you much for the time being. I'm really sorry."

Seeing this, Bai Mengmeng quickly tried to charm him, saying, "Oh, don't blame yourself too much. You're not the only one who's good at business. No one can rise to the top overnight. Our family has achieved what we have today through the efforts of several generations. Don't worry, but... I do have a small request." After saying that, she blinked her big eyes at Lu Ze.

Lu Ze was amused by her adorable appearance and asked curiously, "What request do you have? Tell me."

Only then did Bai Mengmeng dare to speak up, "Don't you have evidence against Zhao Ming? Can I borrow it for a moment?"

Lu Ze thought it was something serious and said with a smile, "I'm glad I could help you."

Bai Mengmeng was overjoyed to receive his answer. Without hesitation, she gave Lu Ze a quick kiss on the cheek, then ran off like a happy little bird.

Lu Ze was completely taken aback by the sudden kiss. He stood there dumbfounded, blinking a few times, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened. He watched Bai Mengmeng's cheerful figure run towards the door, a faint smile gradually appearing on his face.

Meanwhile, Li Yan was also making urgent preparations. He knew the importance of this land bidding and was determined to secure the land use rights. He devoted himself to organizing his team, developing detailed strategies, and communicating and negotiating with all parties involved.

Both companies were confident in their bid for the land, demonstrating strong competitiveness and determination. Seeing their proactive approach, other companies were also eager to participate and try their luck.

A few days later, the crucial moment of bidding for the land finally arrived.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Bai Mengmeng decided to release the evidence that Zhao Ming had framed Uncle Lu, as well as the video of Zhu Ting and Zhao Xu's collusion. Once this evidence was exposed, it would surely cause a huge uproar.
