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

Lu Ze smiled at Bai Mengmeng, his eyes full of doting affection and tenderness. He knew this small gesture would make Bai Mengmeng happy, and seeing her happy made him feel that his efforts had not been in vain.

At this moment, Lu Ze deeply felt the power of love. He realized that he was willing to give everything for Bai Mengmeng's happiness. Making her happy was his greatest satisfaction.

Fireworks continued to bloom in the night sky, their beautiful light illuminating Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze's faces. They were immersed in this romantic atmosphere, enjoying each other's company and the warmth of their love.

Bai Mengmeng looked at Lu Ze and said sincerely, "Thank you. This is the second time I've seen such beautiful fireworks." Hearing her words, Lu Ze smiled with delight. Just then, the waiters began serving the dishes, and the fireworks display gradually came to an end. The whole process was filled with a joyful and heartwarming atmosphere.

Bai Mengmeng took Lu Ze's hand and slowly walked downstairs. When they reached the bottom, they were surprised to find it was raining outside. Since they had both been drinking, they couldn't drive home and could only wait for their driver. Lu Ze noticed that Bai Mengmeng was shivering, so he quickly went into the lobby, retrieved a blanket, and gently draped it over her shoulders.

However, Li Ming and Zhao Xu, who were passing by, witnessed this scene. Li Ming couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh dear, what a small world! You two are eating here too?" Bai Mengmeng didn't want to pay attention to them, but since the driver hadn't arrived yet, she could only patiently listen to their rambling.

Li Ming continued, "I even saw it trending on social media today! You two look so close!" Bai Mengmeng couldn't take it anymore and retorted bluntly, "If you didn't get enough of being tied up last time, I don't mind wasting some more time." Li Ming was clearly still shaken by what happened last time, because he not only lost face but also received a severe scolding. Moreover, now that he was in City A, he didn't dare to offend anyone easily.

Seeing their discomfiture, Lu Ze secretly gloated, "See? Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed! You can't afford to offend Bai Mengmeng!" Just then, a luxury car slowly pulled up; it was the driver who had come to pick up Bai Mengmeng. Bai Mengmeng turned and glared fiercely at Li Ming and Zhao Xu before elegantly getting into the car and driving away.

Seeing that Bai Mengmeng was a little unhappy, Lu Ze quickly comforted her, "Don't bother with such petty people, it'll ruin your mood." Bai Mengmeng pouted and said, "I'm not going to argue with them! They're just a bunch of shameless bastards."

Lu Ze laughed and said, "Yeah, they're definitely jealous of us. You're beautiful, smart, capable, and incredibly kind. A girl like you is hard to find even with a lantern. I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend like you. Yesterday, when I took you to the company, I became the center of attention and even trended on social media. Let those people be envious!"

Bai Mengmeng felt a little better after hearing Lu Ze's words, but she still couldn't help complaining, "I just think they talk so rudely, buzzing around like flies all day long." Lu Ze chimed in, "Yeah, it's a good thing I didn't cooperate with them, otherwise I would despise myself. Look at them, they're always idling around, not doing anything productive, and they always like to sow discord. They're really annoying."

Bai Mengmeng nodded and praised, "You're really clear-headed now, I'm so glad. I hope you won't be fooled by their methods again; they're not as powerful as you think." Lu Ze patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, I won't help them anymore."

On the other side, Li Ming and Zhao Xu watched Bai Mengmeng's car drive away. Zhao Xu sighed helplessly, "Sigh, I thought I could finally hold my head high after returning to China, but I didn't expect to still be bullied." Li Ming, however, said nonchalantly, "This is just a temporary difficulty. As long as we work hard, we'll make something of ourselves one day. Once our business takes off, we'll definitely show them what we're made of!"

The next morning, just as the sun rose, Lu Ze led a group of people to find Li Ming in a menacing manner.

"You good-for-nothing, what can you do besides spouting sarcastic remarks all day?" Lu Ze said with a look of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming's face turned red with anger, and he retorted loudly, "How could I be a good-for-nothing! If it weren't for our family's scheme, how could your Lu family be where you are today? Now you're just relying on Bai Mengmeng, you're nothing but a gigolo!"

However, Lu Ze did not get angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and teased, "Oh? Then tell me, what are you really capable of? Is all you can do is talk big?"

Looking at Lu Ze's composed demeanor, Li Ming grew increasingly annoyed and couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, have you lost all feeling and emotion? You can't even react with facial expressions anymore?"

Faced with Li Ming's provocation, Lu Ze did not get angry, but responded calmly, "Hehe, I'm just too lazy to bother with you. After all, someone like you who only talks and doesn't fight is really uninteresting." After saying that, Lu Ze turned around and left with his group.

Not long after, Bai Mengmeng learned that Lu Ze had gone to find Li Ming, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How could you be so childish? You actually went to settle scores with him like a little kid."

Lu Ze explained with a smile, "I just wanted to annoy him and put some pressure on him. After all, he dared to stab Li Yan last time because of Liu Ting. So this time I have to let him know that we are not to be trifled with."

Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this: "Haha, you're really funny. You even compared this to the 'killing' part of the Werewolf game."

Lu Ze scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, I just wanted to use a vivid analogy to explain the problem."

Seeing that Bai Mengmeng wasn't angry, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good Mengmeng, I just went to teach him a lesson to prevent any further trouble. Besides, I brought a group of people with me. Even if he's very capable, he can't possibly kill me all by himself, right?"

Bai Mengmeng thought so too. After all, they weren't old enough to resort to ruthless methods to subdue the other party. She said to Lu Ze, "Don't do something so foolish again next time." Her tone was filled with worry and concern.

Lu Ze smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew that although Bai Mengmeng could be impulsive at times, she was kind and gentle at heart. His actions this time had indeed worried her, and he would definitely be more careful in the future.
