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

Ji Feng dragged his suitcase slowly towards the airport. He had originally thought he could stay for a few days and enjoy time with his family. However, reality caught him off guard, and now he had to leave alone. Although this meant no one would bother Liu Lin anymore, he had also completely lost his home. Thinking of this, Ji Feng couldn't help but shed tears. The sky seemed to sense his deep sorrow and began to rain. The raindrops fell on him, as if even the heavens were weeping for him.

Ji Feng rushed to the airport and booked the earliest flight back to City A. Meanwhile, Zhao Ming sat on the sofa, glued to the news on TV, a sly smile playing on his lips. However, when he thought about the woman's sudden live stream, he couldn't help but feel remorse. If it weren't for this unexpected turn of events, he could have perfectly pinned all the blame on Zhao Xu.

A surge of anger rose within Zhao Ming. He clenched his fists and walked straight towards Zhao Xu's room. He desperately wanted to rush in and kill the guy with a single blow. But in the end, he suppressed his impulse and turned back to his own room. The events of the past few days kept replaying in his mind, making it difficult for him to sleep. Especially when he learned that Zhao Xu was involved in Zhu Ting's seduction of him into investing, and that Zhu Ting and Zhao Xu had a past relationship, those memories were etched deeply into his heart like a brand. Although Zhu Ting was dead, her body had still not been found. But it didn't matter, Zhao Ming secretly vowed. He would take care of them one by one.

In the dead of night, Zhao Ming sat alone in the darkness, like a lone wolf, exuding a fearsome aura.

Bai Mengmeng quietly stepped out of the room without making a sound, afraid of waking the sleeping Lu Ze. Her gaze fell on Lu Ze, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart. Then, she carefully closed the door and left the room.

After leaving the room, Bai Mengmeng didn't rest but immediately began investigating the incident. She was constantly busy, completely focused on finding clues. However, due to her intense concentration, she completely ignored her surroundings and her own safety.

Meanwhile, when Lu Ze woke up, he found himself alone. He reached out to hug Bai Mengmeng, but his hand missed. He was puzzled, wondering if she had gone to the bathroom. So, he got up and searched each room for Bai Mengmeng, but couldn't find her. Finally, when he reached the living room, he was surprised to find Bai Mengmeng curled up on the sofa, intently staring at her phone screen.

Lu Ze's first reaction was that Bai Mengmeng was hiding something from him. Normally, she never avoided him at work, but now she was secretly checking her phone. However, he didn't confront Bai Mengmeng on the spot. Instead, he silently returned to his room, lay down again, and tried to fall asleep once more.

On the other side, Jiang Yan's husband slept soundly, lying on the bed like a dead pig, completely unaware. Jiang Yan stood quietly by the bed, a sharp knife in her hand, her eyes flashing with despair and anger. She stared at her husband's back, as if she wanted to vent all her pain and grievances.

However, after a fierce internal struggle, Jiang Yan finally lowered the knife. She couldn't bring herself to do it; she couldn't solve the problem with violence. She slowly squatted down, leaning against the wall, tears streaming down her face. At that moment, she remembered her experience of being abducted many years ago, though she couldn't recall the exact year. Even the faces of her parents had become blurry; she only remembered their warm smiles.

Jiang Yan had wanted to escape for many years, trying various methods, but ultimately failing. She had fantasized countless times about life after freedom, but reality shattered her dreams time and time again. It wasn't until she became pregnant that she truly realized she couldn't escape this cage.

However, fate is always full of drama. Just when she was almost in despair, Bai Mengmeng actually stood beside her. Jiang Yan felt a sense of surprise and joy, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. Although she didn't know much about Bai Mengmeng, she had no other choice but to place her hopes on her.

Looking at the dilapidated, foul-smelling room before her, Jiang Yan felt a surge of indescribable sorrow. She didn't want to be trapped here any longer; she longed for change and to regain her freedom. Her daughter became her only motivation to persevere. She knew that only by taking good care of her daughter could she find her own happiness.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan arrived at the place where Li Lin was hidden. He gazed silently at everything before him, his mind filled with complex emotions. He knew that Li Lin was also one of the victims of this conflict. Faced with Li Lin's pain and helplessness, a pang of guilt rose deep within Li Yuan's heart.

Li Yuan asked softly, "Do you want to go back?" Hearing this, a flicker of excitement crossed Li Lin's eyes. He nodded vigorously, expressing his longing to return home. Seeing this, Li Yuan smiled with satisfaction. He knew that as long as Li Lin cooperated, he could successfully carry out his plan. So, Li Yuan turned and left the dark, damp corner, leaving Li Lin alone to wait for the day he would regain his freedom.

Back home, Li Yuan felt extremely heavy-hearted. He knew he was about to face an unprecedented challenge. But no matter what, he had to end this miserable period of his life as soon as possible. Therefore, he decided to return to the company to handle some important matters and find a suitable opportunity to hand over power to Li Yan.

At night, Luffy stood alone on the balcony, gazing at the deep night sky. His feelings were as complex as the twinkling stars. He couldn't help but ask himself: Am I really going to be manipulated like this forever? He had once strived to pursue the life he wanted and avoid hurting innocent people, but now he found himself trapped in a predicament he couldn't escape.

Luffy was both angry at his own weakness and frustrated by his inability to change anything. He knew that if he didn't make a change, he would never be able to control his own destiny. So he made up his mind to find a way to solve the problem, break free from his constraints, and walk the path to freedom.

Lu Ze couldn't fall asleep for a long time, his mind preoccupied with the possibility that Bai Mengmeng was hiding something from him. He hesitated, unsure how to bring it up. Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a soft noise. It turned out that Bai Mengmeng had gently laid down on the bed.

Lu Ze rolled over and hugged Bai Mengmeng tightly, his mind churning with the question of whether he should bring up the matter. After a long period of thought, he gently patted Bai Mengmeng, trying to make sure she was asleep.
