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

Seeing that Bai Mengmeng didn't show any unusual behavior, Lu Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Bai Mengmeng had misunderstood whether something had happened between them last night. So, he explained, "You slept so soundly last night that I was too embarrassed to wake you. Seeing that you were sleeping so peacefully, I let you rest in the room."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengmeng thought she had secretly drunk alcohol last night, which scared her to death. Luckily, she was just sound asleep, which relieved her considerably. She hurriedly got out of bed and quickly washed up. When she entered the bathroom, she was surprised to find that the toiletries were exactly the same as those at home, and even the clothes she was going to wear that day were prepared. These details made her feel Lu Ze's thoughtfulness and consideration. Ji Feng could no longer contain his burning gossip spirit and eagerly moved closer to Lu Ze: "You two slept together last night?" He didn't forget to raise an eyebrow at Lu Ze, his eyes full of teasing.

Faced with Ji Feng's blunt question, Lu Ze felt somewhat helpless and could only try to change the subject: "Alright, stop asking so many questions, let's go out to eat first." After saying that, he waited for Bai Mengmeng to finish packing so they could leave together.

However, when they stepped out of the room, the secretary was completely stunned to see Bai Mengmeng suddenly appear. He inwardly groaned, because no one had told him that Bai Mengmeng was there too, and now President Lu was sure to give him a severe dressing down.

Lu Ze remained silent, constantly serving food to Bai Mengmeng. Seeing that neither of them wanted to talk to him, Ji Feng grew dissatisfied, pouting and muttering, "Don't you two have anything to say to me?" Lu Ze glared at him, thinking to himself, "Why is this guy so difficult?"

Seeing this, Ji Feng knew he was outnumbered and decided to call for help. Soon after, Liu Lin and Wang Fei arrived in a hurry. On the way, Ji Feng had already told them all the gossip. So, as soon as they entered, Liu Lin went straight to Bai Mengmeng and asked, "Did you two stay in the same room last night?"

Bai Mengmeng glanced at Liu Lin, inwardly groaning; this little gossip queen was faster than anyone else. She quickly explained, "I just stayed overnight, nothing really happened!"

Wang Fei listened with a skeptical look, clearly not believing her words. "A man and a woman alone in a room, could it be that Mr. Lu is impotent?"

Lu Ze was leisurely drinking water when he suddenly heard his name called. He couldn't help but almost spit out the water in his mouth.

Bai Mengmeng reacted quickly, handing a tissue to Lu Ze and glaring at her two friends, saying, "You two better not talk nonsense when you get out! Be careful, or the crayfish might pinch your mouths."

Seeing that Lu Ze and Bai Mengmeng were somewhat embarrassed, the two knew that now was not the time to press them for answers, so they exchanged a smile and decided to continue questioning them after they separated.

At this moment, Ji Feng finally remembered the purpose of his visit to Lu Ze and said, "By the way, Li Yuan turned himself in this morning, and his company has been taken over by Li Yan."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but recall what had happened last night and said, "Oh, I see. I remember Li Yan came to me late last night, saying that I was his savior. But I did save a boy by the lake. He had choked on water, and when I saw something was wrong, I immediately pulled him out."

Lu Ze asked nervously, "Did he do anything to you?"

Bai Mengmeng shook her head: "No, we met at the hotel, and he left right after he finished speaking."

Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but still worriedly reminded him, "If anyone calls you out in the middle of the night, don't go. If you really have to go, be sure to tell me, and I'll go with you."

The three of them couldn't bear to watch the two of them being so lovey-dovey. It was Wang Fei who spoke first: "We've had enough of this dog food. If you keep this up, I'm going to send you two back to Lu Ze's bedroom. Out of sight, out of mind." Everyone burst into laughter. They quickly finished their meal.

Bai Mengmeng returned to the company to continue participating in the land bidding preparations. Although she had one less enemy, many people had already heard about Li Yuan's surrender.

Butler Li also came to the office: "Miss now has a lot more competitors."

Bai Mengmeng had anticipated this situation: "It's alright, the outcome is still uncertain."

As luck would have it, Bai Mengmeng received a document containing only a note: "Don't participate in the land bidding; someone is trying to switch the goods."

Bai Mengmeng didn't understand what it meant after reading it, and since it wasn't convenient for others to know about it in the current situation, she could only call Lu Ze over.

Lu Ze didn't understand what it meant or if someone was playing a prank.

Bai Mengmeng's first thought was, "There's probably a mole in our company. I've prepared everything I need to, so it's not convenient to launch a large-scale investigation. Let's investigate the list of participants first. Butler Li told me today that there are many more competitors. It seems the mastermind learned that Li Yuan failed, so he took his place."

Lu Ze found Bai Mengmeng's analysis very reasonable. He went back and obtained a list, investigating each company individually without finding any problems. However, one company name seemed increasingly familiar. This wasn't the identity Li Yuan had used before; why was it here? Coincidentally, this company was also involved today. With many people and eyes around in the office, Lu Ze took the documents to Bai Mengmeng's home.

Bai Mengmeng looked at Lu Ze, who was covered in sweat, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What did you manage to do?"

Lu Ze opened his computer and slowly said, "Do you remember when you went to participate in the bidding? I was sitting next to Li Yuan, and he gave me a business card; it was from this company."

Bai Mengmeng didn't expect that someone would actually make a move. "Then what should we do this time?"

Lu Ze realized that Li Yuan must have sought help from Li Yan after his defeat. "It seems that Li Yan is unwilling to cooperate with them, so they resorted to this desperate measure. Why don't we call Li Yan over?"

Bai Mengmeng paced back and forth in the living room, pondering a question: what kind of deep-seated hatred could drive wave after wave of innocent people to willingly risk their lives? She felt that the only breakthrough was to start with Li Yan, but the enemy was lurking in the shadows, while they were exposed. So, she turned to Lu Ze and said, "Lu Ze, he absolutely cannot come here. If what you say is true, then he must be under surveillance. Therefore, we must think of another way."

Lu Ze and Bai Mengmeng both fell silent, racking their brains to figure out how to arrange a meeting that was both reasonable and wouldn't arouse suspicion. After a while, Bai Mengmeng suddenly had a brilliant idea and came up with a seemingly wicked one: "Why don't we go and give him some gifts! Then we can go there in a big show and create some confrontational scenes. That way, we shouldn't easily arouse suspicion."

After hearing this, Lu Ze understood that this might be the only chance for him at the moment.
