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

Lu Ze frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked up, his eyes flashing with determination. "In that case, we must find a way to break free from their control and expose their conspiracy at the same time." He paused, then continued, "But before that, we need more intelligence and evidence to better formulate a plan."

Just then, Bai Mengmeng suddenly received a message from Butler Li, saying that her father had fallen down the stairs. Bai Mengmeng's expression changed, and she immediately stood up and ran towards the door.

"Wait!" Upon hearing this news, Lu Ze also stood up, wanting to go along as well.

But Bai Mengmeng shook her head, a resolute glint in her eyes: "No need, thank you for your kindness. But I must handle this matter personally." With that, she hurriedly left, leaving Lu Ze watching her retreating figure with a worried expression.

Bai Mengmeng didn't go directly to the hospital; instead, she returned home first. She turned on her computer, logged into a private account, and accessed her home security system. However, when she tried to view the morning's surveillance footage, she discovered that all the videos had been deleted. This realization sank into Bai Mengmeng's heart, making her understand that the matter might not be as simple as it seemed.

She frowned, pondering her next move. Suddenly, she thought of someone—Liu Ting. So, she picked up her phone and dialed Liu Ting's number.

Not long after, Liu Ting arrived at the Bai family home. After they met, Bai Mengmeng briefly explained the situation and asked Liu Ting to accompany her to the hospital. Liu Ting nodded in agreement without hesitation, and the two went to the hospital together.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Bai Mengmeng saw her father lying on the hospital bed, his eyes closed and his face pale. Her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.

"Dad..." she whispered, hoping her father would open his eyes and look at her.

However, her father remained unresponsive, still unconscious. Bai Mengmeng felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She clenched her fists and silently told herself that she must find out the truth and not let her father suffer in vain.

At this moment, a doctor walked in. He glanced at Bai Mengmeng and Liu Ting, then went to the bedside and checked on Uncle Bai's condition.

"Doctor, how is my father?" Bai Mengmeng asked anxiously.

The doctor sighed and replied, "Ms. Lu, your father is currently in a coma, and it's impossible to determine when he will wake up. We need to observe and treat him further."

Bai Mengmeng nodded, fighting back tears, and said, "Thank you, doctors. Please do everything you can to save my father."

The doctor nodded and reassured her, "Don't worry, Ms. Lu, we will do our best. We will notify you promptly if there are any new developments." With that, the doctor turned and left the ward.

Bai Mengmeng sat on the edge of the bed, gazing silently at her father's face, her heart filled with guilt and self-reproach. She secretly vowed that no matter the cost, she would ensure her father's safety.

Just then, Uncle Bai's hand suddenly twitched! Bai Mengmeng's eyes widened instantly, a sense of unease rising within her. She remembered the doctor saying her father was still unconscious! Could it be...? She dared not think any further and quickly shouted, "Quick! We need to go to another hospital!"

Liu Ting, who was standing nearby, finally came to her senses and immediately understood what Bai Mengmeng meant. Without hesitation, she took out her phone and contacted her family's medical team, asking them to come to the hospital as soon as possible and transfer Uncle Bai to their family's hospital for treatment.

In fact, ever since Li Yan was injured and hospitalized, Liu Ting had arranged for her family's medical team to be on standby at the hospital. Although Li Yan had been discharged, she still dared not let her guard down and specially hired an excellent medical team at a high salary to ensure Li Yan's full recovery.

Liu Ting was extremely efficient, and everything was arranged in no time. She turned to look at Bai Mengmeng, only to find that she had suddenly become unusually calm. Liu Ting couldn't help but worry, wondering if Bai Mengmeng was also sick. She anxiously asked, "Mengmeng, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

However, Bai Mengmeng ignored Liu Ting's concern and asked the doctor with a serious expression, "How is my dad?" The doctor frowned and replied, "The preliminary diagnosis is that he took an overdose of sleeping pills, which caused him to fall into a coma. However..." He paused and continued, "The patient has marks from a fall, but they are not serious. He can recover with a little rest."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting's mouth dropped open in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief. She muttered to herself, "How could this be? Wasn't it said that she fell down the stairs?"

Liu Ting was startled. Could it be true, as Bai Mengmeng had said? She realized someone was trying to frame Uncle Bai! Just then, Bai Mengmeng's phone rang. "Miss, where did you take Mr. Bai? Don't do anything foolish!" came an anxious voice from the other end of the line. However, Bai Mengmeng ignored it and decisively hung up and turned off her phone.

Immediately afterward, Bai Mengmeng asked the doctor to carefully check her uncle for any listening devices. After a thorough examination, it was confirmed that her uncle was not carrying any suspicious items. Bai Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Ting, having overheard this, understood many things and then led Bai Mengmeng to Li Yan's ward.

As soon as they entered the ward, Liu Ting asked impatiently, "Mengmeng, who do you suspect?" Bai Mengmeng frowned and slowly said, "I suspect Butler Li." This answer shocked Liu Ting. She said incredulously, "Butler Li is a veteran in the Bai family. How could he betray us?" Bai Mengmeng also fell into deep thought, trying to digest this astonishing fact.

At the same time, Lu Ze received a mysterious text message with the words "Butler Li" clearly written on it. Lu Ze instantly understood why Bai Mengmeng hadn't taken him to the hospital; she had already noticed something amiss. Lu Ze eagerly wanted to tell Bai Mengmeng this crucial clue, but when he tried to call her, he found the call wouldn't go through.

Liu Ting sent Li Yan a message with a simple emoji. Lu Ze snatched it, immediately understood, and sighed. Seeing his reaction, Li Yan didn't press him further, but silently deleted the message.

Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng stayed by her father's side at the hospital. Finally, Uncle Bai slowly opened his eyes and woke up. But Bai Mengmeng didn't immediately call for a doctor; instead, she sat quietly by the bedside, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.

"Dad, you're finally awake!" Bai Mengmeng excitedly grasped her father's hand, her eyes filled with tears.
