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

Lu Ze had thought the problem was almost solved and was about to announce the results when Bai Mengmeng suddenly burst in. Realizing things might have changed again, Lu Ze walked to the door and whispered to his secretary, "From now on, no one is allowed to leave the conference room." He then closed the door and returned to his seat.

At this moment, Jiang Yan started shouting. Bai Mengmeng ignored her and walked straight to Jiang Yan, sitting down beside her and coldly questioning, "Tell me, how did your husband pay off his gambling debts?" Jiang Yan clearly hadn't expected Bai Mengmeng to find out so quickly. She was momentarily speechless, but still tried to remain calm, replying, "I...I don't know!" Bai Mengmeng wasn't going to believe her easily and continued to press, "Stop playing dumb. Why did you make such a big scene today? What are your plans?" Jiang Yan was rendered speechless, her face turning extremely pale.

Bai Mengmeng suddenly remembered the video Li Yan had shown her before about Lu Ze's father's drug trafficking—it was fake evidence created using deepfake technology. Were they planning to repeat their old tricks and use such disgusting methods to frame others?

However, Bai Mengmeng dared not make a hasty judgment, as she lacked concrete evidence. Therefore, she had no choice but to release Jiang Yan, but still arranged for people to secretly follow her. Meanwhile, Lu Ze had to first announce the preliminary results of the investigation to stabilize public opinion.

Bai Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Jiang Yan walk away. On the other side, Liu Ting let out a long sigh of relief. What was originally just a simple safety incident turned out to be a complex conspiracy hidden behind it.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ze fell into deep thought. He carefully recalled the entire incident, then picked up the report on the table and examined it intently. The report's data showed that everything was normal, which left him feeling extremely confused and perplexed.

“Strange…” Lu Ze muttered to himself, “These data are all normal, so why did an unexpected problem suddenly occur?” He instructed his subordinates to conduct experiments based on the data in the report in an attempt to find out the problem.

Liu Ting followed closely behind, expressing her intention to participate in the entire experiment. The two entered the laboratory together and began working. They hoped to find clues through this experiment and uncover the truth behind this seemingly ordinary safety accident.

Lu Ze led Bai Mengmeng back to the office, where both fell into deep thought. Bai Mengmeng broke the silence first: "What do you think?" Her voice was full of doubt and worry.

Lu Ze frowned and began to analyze: "I'm afraid they're targeting you and me. But we don't know what methods they'll use to deal with us."

Bai Mengmeng offered her opinion: "I think they might start with the news about us living together. Did you notice that Jiang Yan has a pitiful appearance that easily evokes public sympathy?"

Lu Ze thought for a moment and realized he didn't have much of an impression of Jiang Yan's appearance. He said to Bai Mengmeng, "I didn't notice her appearance either. However, your guess makes some sense."

Bai Mengmeng continued, "So, just in case, you'd better not act alone recently. Even if you go out by yourself, someone should accompany you. Jiang Yan will definitely cause trouble, and their skills are very advanced, so this will be a protracted battle."

Lu Ze nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for reminding me." He knew in his heart that this struggle might become increasingly complicated, but he was prepared to deal with it.

Jiang Yan returned home, and as soon as she opened the door, her husband immediately came to greet her, his eyes full of expectation, and asked, "Where's the money?"

Jiang Yan lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I've transferred them all to you..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's husband's face instantly darkened. He smashed the water glass in his hand on the ground and shouted angrily, "What can this little bit of money do! Go ask them for more!"

Jiang Yan raised her head, her eyes filled with helplessness and grievance. She said softly, "They already know the truth. How can I possibly ask them for money now..."

Jiang Yan's husband stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief as he questioned, "What? Did you tell them? How could they possibly find out about these things! We had a plan, according to the plan, you were to seduce that man named Lu Ze and get him, so I could get a large sum of money!" At this moment, Jiang Yan's husband was still immersed in his fantasy, completely unaware that things had spiraled out of control.

Jiang Yan looked troubled and explained in a trembling voice, "I saw Bai Mengmeng today, and I can't compare to her at all..."

Jiang Yan's husband impatiently interrupted her, cursing, "Can you stop nagging! Did you do what I said?" With that, he slammed the door and left, leaving only one sentence: "Either you seduce him, or I'll kick you out!"

Jiang Yan collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. She knew her husband's character well; if she failed in her mission, he would surely do something terrible. Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and a little girl timidly peeked out—it was Jiang Yan's youngest daughter.

Jiang Yan quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile as she said to her daughter, "Mommy's okay, baby, don't be afraid..." But inside, she was in immense pain. She knew what fate awaited her daughter if she were to leave this world like this. She couldn't let that happen; she had to protect her child no matter what.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to go out alone and wait downstairs at Lu Ze's company. Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng received the information and promptly informed Lu Ze. Upon learning of the situation, Lu Ze reacted quickly, instructing security guards to closely monitor Jiang Yan's every move.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yan was still secretly observing the surroundings, while Lu Ze had already returned to Bai Mengmeng's house from the underground parking garage. Seeing Lu Ze return, Bai Mengmeng asked with concern, "How did it go?" Lu Ze sighed helplessly and replied, "I didn't expect her to come and ambush me directly!" Bai Mengmeng frowned worriedly and reminded him, "Her husband is a gambling addict and urgently needs money. We must be careful to avoid being taken advantage of."

Jiang Yan didn't leave until the company closed. Dragging her exhausted body back to her dark home, her daughter was already fast asleep. Walking alone on the dark streets, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. If she failed to seduce Lu Ze, her future might be ruined.
