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

Then, the group arrived in a grand procession at the foot of Li Yan's company building. Firecrackers and fireworks filled the air, creating a lively scene. Li Yan stood upstairs, gazing out the window with a bewildered expression. He was already in a bad mood because of his brother's imprisonment, and he never expected anyone would dare to come looking for trouble at this time.

Hearing a commotion downstairs, Li Yan hurriedly ran down to check what was happening. When he saw the people there, he was taken aback: "Bai Mengmeng, what are you doing here?"

Bai Mengmeng turned her head, revealing a bright smile as she looked at Li Yan and said, "We're celebrating you becoming the person in charge!"

Li Yan felt a surge of anger welling up inside him and shouted at them, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around and get up here right now!"

Everyone put down what they were doing and followed Li Yan upstairs in high spirits.

Li Yan suppressed his anger and said to Bai Mengmeng, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that there were other people around, Bai Mengmeng took Li Yan's hand and said, "Come on, let's go somewhere where no one is around. I have something important to tell you."

Li Yan, half-believing and half-doubting, led Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze to his room.

After entering the room, Bai Mengmeng cautiously looked around to make sure no one was there before taking out a note and handing it to Li Yan, saying mysteriously, "This is the note I just received."

Li Yan took the note and immediately recognized the handwriting as his brother's. He exclaimed in surprise, "This is my brother's handwriting!"

Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze were secretly pleased, relieved that they had finally found the right clue.

Lu Ze looked at Li Yan and asked seriously, "Has the Li family already contacted you?"

Li Yan was stunned by the question. He widened his eyes and asked, "How do you know about this?"

Bai Mengmeng didn't dare reveal too much of the truth, but tentatively asked him which side he would stand on.

Li Yan had indeed clearly rejected the Li family, and now, seeing his brother's note again, he was even more certain of his direction. At the same time, he realized that relying solely on his own strength was far from enough to completely bring down the Li family.

"Don't worry, I'll stand by your side," Li Yan said earnestly to Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief and told Li Yan everything they had discovered the previous night.

"I see. I really didn't expect there to be such inside story in this bidding process. But now that I think about it, it makes sense. No matter who wins the land in the end, they will all be subject to the Li family's control." Li Yan said with sudden realization.

"But we still don't know what the Li family's specific plans are?" Bai Mengmeng asked with some concern.

"I don't know either, but I can't ask my brother now, or it would easily arouse suspicion. If they come to me again, let's see what their purpose is first," Li Yan replied after thinking for a moment.

With things having come to this point, they could only take it one step at a time. After discussing their options, they ended the conversation.

Back in the room, Bai Mengmeng and Li Yan began their performance. One of them was loudly cursing at the other inside, while the other was angrily throwing things outside, and Lu Ze was responsible for holding Bai Mengmeng to prevent her from hitting anyone.

As expected, their actions once again attracted public attention, even making headlines. Looking at these reports, Bai Mengmeng smiled smugly: "Now, even those celebrities probably don't have as much online traffic as me!"

Time flies, and the day of the bidding arrived in the blink of an eye. To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Bai Mengmeng deliberately chose to travel discreetly and try not to attract attention.

Lu Ze attended the event in Bai Mengmeng's place, while Bai Mengmeng secretly hid upstairs, having already confirmed where they would be sitting.

Not long after, someone came to that seat. Bai Mengmeng nervously hid behind the curtains, cautiously peeking out to take a picture of the person with her phone.

She looked at the person in the photo and the more she looked, the more familiar they seemed, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.

Just then, Butler Li sent a message: "Miss, they have indeed come again, and this time they have sent a member of the Li family."

Bai Mengmeng's heart sank. Why were they using the Li family time and time again? She frowned and fell into deep thought.

With that in mind, Bai Mengmeng decided not to wait for Lu Ze to come out, but to go directly to Li Yan's company.

When Bai Mengmeng arrived at Li Yan's office, he was staring intently at his computer screen. Seeing her enter, he immediately stood up and said to her, "This person is actually Li Ming!"

As he spoke, Li Yan turned the computer screen towards Bai Mengmeng, which displayed the face that Bai Mengmeng had just photographed.

Bai Mengmeng was startled, not expecting that things would happen so coincidentally that she would run into it.

Li Yan's face turned ashen with rage. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What exactly are they trying to do? Are they trying to drag the entire Li family down with them?"

Seeing Li Yan lose his temper, Bai Mengmeng knew that this matter was no small thing.

She took a deep breath and comforted Li Yan, saying, "Don't worry. Since things have already gotten so ugly, why don't we take this opportunity to detain him? Maybe we can get some information out of him. Besides, doing so can also help you find out some information."

Li Yan nodded, a determined glint in his eyes: "Okay, we'll do it your way."

Lu Ze glanced around and saw that Bai Mengmeng was hiding somewhere empty, so she must have retreated. Ignoring the stares from others, Lu Ze left the venue. Just as he stepped out the door, Bai Mengmeng called. "Lu Ze, I need you to intercept someone."

Lu Ze: "Who?"

Bai Mengmeng: "Li Ming."

Lu Ze: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ze immediately sprang into action. He used the phone's location tracking system to find Li Ming's location and quickly rushed there.

At this point, the area inside and outside was completely surrounded, and people were apprehended as soon as they came out.

Li Ming was successfully intercepted and tied up in an abandoned warehouse.

Soon after, Bai Mengmeng arrived at the warehouse. She looked at Li Ming, who was tied up, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Bai Mengmeng: "Long time no see, Li Ming."

Li Ming's heart tightened, and he stared wide-eyed at Bai Mengmeng in disbelief.

Li Ming: "You...how do you know my name?"

Bai Mengmeng ignored his question and continued, "What is your main purpose in coming here? Tell me and I'll let you go; otherwise, you can stay here."

Li Ming paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and remained silent.
