Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.
Chapter 81 Confession
Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng was also troubled about how Lu Ze would view her after she had kept those things from him. When she felt Lu Ze pat her, she was startled, thinking something was wrong, and quickly turned on the bedside lamp.
Lu Ze asked softly, "Can't you sleep?" Bai Mengmeng didn't think much of it and casually replied, "I was just about to go to the bathroom." She hadn't yet figured out how to be honest with Lu Ze.
Lu Ze pressed on, "Then who was on the sofa outside just now?" Bai Mengmeng hadn't expected Lu Ze to have seen everything, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I was dealing with Jiang Yan's matter."
Lu Ze frowned and asked suspiciously, "How did you come to know about Jiang Yan?" Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Bai Mengmeng decided to take the opportunity to confess everything. She lowered her head and said softly, "Jiang Yan sent me a letter asking for my help to rescue her." Lu Ze was somewhat angry upon hearing this and said sternly, "What you're doing is too risky! This will put you in great danger!" Bai Mengmeng lowered her head guiltily and replied in a low voice, "I just want to catch the person behind it all; I don't want to be controlled by him forever."
Although Lu Ze was filled with anger, he knew he couldn't vent it on Bai Mengmeng right now. So, he suppressed his emotions and asked, "Then what did you do?" Bai Mengmeng raised her head, her eyes resolute, and said, "I had Jiang Yan find a way to knock that man unconscious and then look through his phone." Lu Ze's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked incredulously, "How could Jiang Yan possibly be able to knock out a man?" Bai Mengmeng smiled and explained, "I drugged the drink, that's how she succeeded."
Lu Ze looked at Bai Mengmeng with admiration and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to know so much about drugs." Bai Mengmeng proudly replied, "We receive relevant training when we go out drinking to prevent people from drugging our drinks. So this isn't difficult for me." Seeing Bai Mengmeng's confident expression, Lu Ze's worries eased slightly.
Lu Ze reached out and hugged Bai Mengmeng tightly, saying gently, "If something like this happens again, you must tell me first. Otherwise, what will you do if you encounter danger alone?" Bai Mengmeng nodded obediently, indicating her understanding.
Jiang Yan spent the entire day observing her husband to see if anything was different from usual. She noticed that her husband was unusually calm today, even a little too calm. This abnormality aroused her suspicion, but she did not directly question her husband. Instead, she chose to continue observing him secretly.
Several days passed like this. One afternoon, her husband surprisingly shaved before leaving the house. This greatly surprised Jiang Yan, because he usually only shaved when his beard was very long, but this time he shaved early. Jiang Yan watched her husband walk out of the house and head towards the other side of the alley. Only after she was sure he was far away did she carefully place the note under a brick.
Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng received a message from Jiang Yan and quickly contacted Lu Ze to discuss the next steps. They discussed who should go to the casino to carry out the mission, but considering that too many people might arouse suspicion, they ultimately decided that Ji Feng would go alone. After all, he had always maintained a disheveled appearance, making him look more like an ordinary gambler. Moreover, Ji Feng had been hiding from Lu Ze since his return and had not seen anyone else. In this way, his appearance would not attract too much attention.
After Lu Ze and Ji Feng discussed the plan, Ji Feng expressed his willingness to cooperate. Subsequently, Bai Mengmeng arrived at Lu Ze's company, took a bulletproof vest from her handbag and handed it to Ji Feng: "Put this on. If something happens, I won't be able to explain it to Liu Lin." Ji Feng took the bulletproof vest and went into the room to change.
Ji Feng was choked by the smell of smoke as soon as he entered, but he still went in. After all, how could a gambler be afraid of the smell of smoke? Ji Feng groped around while looking around, searching for Jiang Yan's husband.
To avoid arousing suspicion, he had to play a few rounds himself. However, he experienced both wins and losses, and his losses steadily increased until he was quickly defeated. Just then, Ji Feng finally spotted Jiang Yan's husband in a corner. Due to the sparse crowd, it was difficult to approach him, and the mysterious man was wearing a hat, making it hard to see his face clearly.
Ji Feng decided to grab a bottle of wine from the front and then sit down for a drink. Thanks to Lu Ze telling him about his alcohol tolerance, he quickly became tipsy, and his emotions gradually rose, revealing a hint of worry on his face. Ji Feng stumbled his way to the back, unsure how to approach them naturally. Just as he hesitated, the others forcefully shoved him aside to avoid him.
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks. Ji Feng, without warning, tripped and fell straight to the ground, landing right at the feet of Jiang Yan's husband and the mysterious man. A look of embarrassment and apology crossed Ji Feng's face. He tried to get up, but due to the effects of alcohol, his body was somewhat unresponsive.
At this moment, Jiang Yan's husband and the mysterious man quickly stepped forward to help him up. Ji Feng kept apologizing, and although he tried hard to stand, the effects of alcohol made him sway unsteady.
The mysterious man didn't suspect anything and reached out to help Ji Feng up. After some effort, he finally managed to get Ji Feng to his feet, and Ji Feng pulled over a stool to sit down.
Seeing that Ji Feng had no intention of leaving, Jiang Yan's husband stopped talking about the previous topic. The mysterious man, however, seemed a little impatient and simply said, "Don't let her get away!" Then he left with Jiang Yan's husband.
Ji Feng waited for a moment, making sure they were far enough away, before slowly getting up and walking outside again. Meanwhile, Lu Ze had been waiting outside for a long time. After picking up Ji Feng, he quickly drove to Lu Ze's house. Back home, Bai Mengmeng was anxiously waiting for news. When she saw the video Ji Feng sent, the weight lifted from her heart.
The video successfully captured the mysterious person's face. Bai Mengmeng immediately sent the video to the relevant personnel for investigation. Surprisingly, the investigation results came back quickly—the mysterious person was Jiang An. Bai Mengmeng stared at the investigation results on the screen, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.
So, this mysterious man was Jiang An! How could he be here? Bai Mengmeng was filled with doubt and confusion. What was even more surprising was that he seemed to have been quietly developing his power in City B. So, why was he creating such a big problem this time? Was it related to the United States? Or did he have a special purpose for Jiang Yan? And the words "Don't let her get away" sent a chill down Bai Mengmeng's spine.
