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

Zhu Ting couldn't even cover her debts with all her money. In a panic, she called Lu Ze and pleaded, "Brother Lu Ze, please help me! I'm in trouble right now. If you don't pay back the money, I'll have to marry an old man."

Looking at his ex-girlfriend, now reduced to this state because of greed, Lu Ze saw this as a good opportunity to see if he could glean any useful information. "I'll help you on conditions; your information has to be worth the price," Lu Ze said, not entirely confident that she would hand over the evidence.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ting realized that only by offering information related to his father could she truly achieve an equal exchange. "Brother Lu Ze, give me some time to think about it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze realized that she had this intention. If she handed it over, they would only be enemies in the future.

Bai Mengmeng was the happiest, as she learned about these events directly from Xiao Bai without even needing to ask.

Bai Mengmeng became increasingly happy as she thought about it. "Xiao Bai, we can consider this a victory. Now let's see what he does next."

Two days later, the receptionist called Lu Ze: "Mr. Lu, Miss Zhu is here. Should we take her upstairs?"

"Bring it up," Lu Ze silently took out the hidden camera he had prepared beforehand. In this situation, without some evidence, if she did something, it would lead to another round of entanglement.

Zhu Ting entered the room with tears streaming down her face. She cried all the way from the doorway to Lu Ze's side, saying, "Brother Lu Ze, I'm really having a hard time. Please help me."

Lu Ze, annoyed by her clumsy acting, sat down on the sofa, facing the camera. "Where's what I asked for?"

Zhu Ting had planned to use a self-inflicted injury ruse, but it seems that won't work. "Here you go, Brother Lu Ze."

Zhu Ting intended to deceive Lu Ze with fabricated evidence, but when Lu Ze opened and read it, he angrily threw it to the ground. He loudly questioned Zhu Ting, "Do you think I'm particularly easy to fool? You're still trying to deceive me with fake evidence now."

Zhu Ting didn't understand where she had gone wrong, and things weren't going as she expected. "Brother Lu Ze, don't be angry," she said, handing over a USB drive.

Lu Ze clicked on the evidence with some skepticism, and it turned out that Bai Mengmeng was right; it was all because you colluded with Zhao Ming. However, there wasn't a trace of her in the evidence. From the beginning, she had prepared her escape route in case things were exposed. What a cunning scheme!

Lu Ze didn't talk to Zhu Ting much, he just said, "You can go now. I'll transfer the money to your account as it's worth."

Seeing that she could get the money, Zhu Ting left the company happily. She's still smug; she thinks only Zhao Ming had the evidence, and she has nothing to do with it. She believes she can coax Lu Ze back and they can reconcile.

As soon as Lu Ze got the evidence, he drove to Bai Mengmeng's house. "Here's the evidence. Keep it with you. I'm afraid my office will be ransacked one day."

Bai Mengmeng was surprised that Lu Ze trusted her so much, even giving her the evidence. "Are you really at ease?"

"If you're using me, fine, at least my affairs are now involved, which doesn't harm me." Lu Ze didn't say anything more and drove back to the company.

After receiving the payment, Zhu Ting complained to Lu Ze, "He's so stingy. He only gave me 200 million, and I'm still short 100 million after adding what I raised myself."

Zhu Ting was feeling down when a phone call summoned her home.

"Kneel down, how much more do you need now?" Uncle Zhu was furious just thinking about how good-for-nothing this guy was.

Zhu Ting answered timidly, "We're still short 100 million." Uncle Zhu was surprised that she had this ability. After recovering from his shock, he said, "The Zhao family called and after some discussion, they asked you to pay 200 million."

Zhu Ting was overjoyed to hear this. "Really? Dad, is there really such a good thing?"

"What are you so happy about? They have the conditions. Zhao Ming can't have children now, so it's even harder for them to find a daughter-in-law. They can only let you marry him." When Uncle Zhu first heard this news, he didn't want his daughter to marry a useless man, but what could he do when the other party threatened him? He couldn't let the whole family be ruined because of his daughter.

Zhu Ting stood there, stunned.

Uncle Zhu wasn't in the mood to look at her either. "Let's decide on this. The date will be the 5th day. It's an auspicious day."

Zhu Ting was even more surprised that the date was set so quickly, and she panicked. "Dad, I don't want to get married. If I marry into that family, I'll be doomed!" Zhu Ting cried until her voice was hoarse, and no one paid any attention to her.

The wedding took place as planned. Many people came to see the spectacle.

In the dressing room, Zhao Ming continued to curse Zhu Ting, "If you hadn't lied to me, why would I have been with you? You're a slut. Alright, stop crying. If you give me that attitude outside later, you'll be in big trouble tonight."

The Zhao and Zhu families were still entertaining clients outside, while Bai Mengmeng, Lu Ze, and Liu Lin sat together.

Bai Mengmeng was the first to break the awkward silence, "Liu Lin, do you like Zhao Ming? I noticed your expression was off after we bumped into each other that time."

Liu Lin didn't hold back, saying, "Luckily I stumbled upon this mess, otherwise I would have been the one falling into the abyss." Liu Lin got angrier and angrier as she spoke. Lu Ze didn't know how to help her, but seeing Bai Mengmeng constantly comforting him, he couldn't bear to look at her gossipy face.

As the emcee began to announce, "Please welcome the bride and groom," the crowd stopped whispering.

A careful observer noticed that even the bride's heavy makeup couldn't hide her aged face. Zhao Ming watched the whispers and murmurs of the crowd, but he could only endure it. Things had already escalated to this point; he couldn't let the situation worsen. Both men forced smiles, suppressing their anger to save face.

After a day of anxiety, Zhao Ming stopped pretending and went home, smashing things as he vented his anger. He was angry at himself; he had finally managed to take control of the family business, but this incident had made the elders look down on him, and even his father told him to rest more. Instead, that illegitimate son had reaped the benefits.

After facing reality for a few days, Zhu Ting also realized that Zhao Ming was now restricted at home, and life would become even more difficult. The only way to get out of this predicament now was to lose her husband.

Some were happy while others were sad. Bai Mengmeng took the opportunity to bring back a lot of Lu family property and entrusted Butler Li to send it to Lu Ze.

Lu Ze gripped the thick stack of documents in his hand. "What exactly is she trying to do?"

Butler Li wasn't one to say much; he simply replied, "Miss has her own plans."

Lu Ze was increasingly unable to understand what Bai Mengmeng really wanted.
