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

As time ticked by, everyone had drunk their fill. Li Yan's eyes welled up with tears, and he choked out, "Brothers, do you know how hard I've suffered these past years? I'm so happy today!" The pressure and pain he had been carrying were finally released.

In fact, he had always kept those negative emotions buried deep inside, but tonight, thanks to the effects of alcohol, he felt incredibly relaxed.

So, the three of them spent a pleasant evening together. However, when Bai Mengmeng tried to contact Lu Ze, she couldn't get through. Frustrated, she had Liu Lin open the door. When the door opened, she found the three of them fast asleep, snoring loudly. Bai Mengmeng was instantly enraged; her anger could no longer be contained.

Lu Ze woke up with a start, realizing he had overslept. He quickly got up and saw countless missed calls on his phone, then it dawned on him. He scratched his head awkwardly and said apologetically, "Sorry, I went to bed too late last night."

Bai Mengmeng anxiously asked if something had happened, even suspecting he had been kidnapped. Lu Ze hurriedly explained that he had simply been drinking and had made a mistake, promising to send her a message to let her know he was safe in the future, in case something similar happened again.

Afterwards, everyone hurriedly washed up and rushed to the company. Lu Ze fell asleep as soon as he arrived at the company, while Li Yan forced himself to stay awake until almost noon before finally falling into a deep sleep, and Ji Feng simply slept at home all day.

Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng, Lin Siyu, and Liu Lin kept complaining about them in the group chat. Faced with their accusations, the group could only pretend to be indifferent.

As night falls, the lights are on.

After getting off work, Lu Ze went straight to Bai Mengmeng's company entrance to wait. When he saw Bai Mengmeng come out of the building, he quickly went up to her, smiling broadly, and said, "Baby, I'm so sorry! To express my apology, I'll cook you a delicious dinner myself tonight, okay?"

However, Bai Mengmeng didn't appreciate it and remained cold and silent. Seeing this, Lu Ze quickly took Bai Mengmeng's hand, led her to a nearby supermarket, and gently comforted her, "Don't be angry, I'll make you something delicious."

However, Bai Mengmeng still didn't respond, and simply followed him into the supermarket in silence. Along the way, Lu Ze kept apologizing and trying to please her, but Bai Mengmeng remained silent and ignored him.

"Good Mengmeng, just tell me what you like to eat, I'll pay today." Lu Ze tried his best to cheer Bai Mengmeng up, but Bai Mengmeng didn't seem to have calmed down and still ignored him. Helpless, Lu Ze could only follow closely behind her, constantly coaxing her.

Suddenly, Bai Mengmeng stopped and fell into deep thought. Lu Ze thought she had finally figured it out and quickly asked her what she wanted to eat. After some thought, Bai Mengmeng dreamed of a beef hot pot.

So they went to the supermarket together and picked out some fresh beef and other ingredients. Back home, Lu Ze got busy preparing to cook a delicious beef hot pot.

When the fragrant beef hot pot was served, Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but drool, her appetite greatly increased. Looking at the delicious food in front of her, her mood gradually improved. Although she was still a little angry with Lu Ze, at least she could put it aside for now.

Lu Ze watched Bai Mengmeng eat with relish, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. He knew that as long as Bai Mengmeng was happy, everything was worthwhile.

The next morning, Bai Mengmeng received surprising news: Liu Cheng had been released. She was quite taken aback, but at the same time decided to go find him and find out the truth.

Meanwhile, Lu Ze also learned of this news. Like Bai Mengmeng, he was puzzled by the matter. Both wanted to understand the reason, so they decided to go together.

The atmosphere in the private room was tense, and Liu Cheng couldn't help but wonder: Did they intend to harm him? But after careful observation, he realized that they didn't. On the contrary, Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze kept staring at him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Just say what's on your mind," Liu Cheng finally said, unable to bear the strange atmosphere any longer.

Lu Ze looked at him with disdain and cursed him without any politeness: "You're not a man! You actually used such despicable and vile means."

Liu Cheng, however, was unfazed and retorted sarcastically, "Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that! If it weren't for the Bai family's influence, how could you have won this bet? Otherwise, would you still be sitting here now?"

Lu Ze wasn't angry at these words. Instead, he calmly replied, "Say whatever you want. Spreading rumors costs nothing. As long as you all go to jail, the truth will come out."

At this moment, Bai Mengmeng, unable to bear it any longer, questioned Liu Cheng: "Why did you deceive Wang Fei?"

Liu Cheng felt a little guilty, but still stubbornly insisted: "I didn't mean to lie to her, I just wanted to get close to you through her."

Bai Mengmeng became even angrier upon hearing this and rebuked, "You approached her with a purpose from the very beginning. Isn't that deception?"

Liu Cheng retorted confidently: "So what? If Li Yan hadn't stayed behind, my plan wouldn't have been exposed so quickly."

However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door. It turned out that Wang Fei had been standing at the door for a while and had heard what Liu Cheng had just said. She turned pale with anger and burst into the room.

"You bastard!" Wang Fei roared in fury at Liu Cheng, "I was so devoted to you, and you've been lying to me the whole time!"

Liu Cheng was startled by Faye Wong's sudden appearance and was speechless for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

Liu Lin, Ji Feng, and Li Yan, standing outside the door, were filled with apology; they couldn't believe they hadn't been able to stop Wang Fei. Liu Cheng tried to explain, but all he heard was Wang Fei's cursing echoing in his ears. When Liu Cheng stepped out of the private room, he was completely disoriented.

Everyone was stunned by Faye Wong's powerful language skills. It wasn't until quite a while later that they remembered to pull Faye Wong out of the private room.

Wang Fei sat outside, slowly recovering. She had been holding back her anger for days, and now that it was finally released, she felt incredibly relieved. As Liu Cheng left, the two were still glaring at each other, as if engaged in a silent contest.

Seeing his sour face, Wang Fei's mood instantly improved. Life had to go on, and food still needed to be eaten. So, without hesitation, Wang Fei led everyone to a Sichuan restaurant.
