The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

The blinding light nearly blinded me. Only after I adjusted did I see clearly that the man before me was Liu Zhenhua, the long-lost competitor of the Lu Group! That sinister and cunning man, who would do anything for personal gain!

"Liu Zhenhua! Where are the housekeeper and Chenxi?!" I asked harshly, my anger almost burning me out.

He smiled grimly, "Lin Luoluo, you didn't expect that we would meet again. Do you still remember the lesson we learned last time?"

Lawrence Lu protected me behind him, looking directly at Liu Zhenhua with cold eyes, “Let them go, and I can give you whatever you want.”

"You can't give me what I want." Liu Zhenhua's eyes turned crazy. "What I want is the entire Lu Group, everything you have!"

"You're dreaming!" I roared. "Do you think you can do it?"

"Of course it's not just me." Liu Zhenhua clapped his hands, and several people walked out from the shadow of the warehouse. I recognized one of them at a glance. It turned out to be my stepsister who had framed me!

"Long time no see, sister." She couldn't hide her smug smile, "Today is the day you die!"

My heart sank. I didn't expect that they would collude with each other. It seems that we are really in a desperate situation this time.

At this moment, the door of the warehouse opened again, a beam of strong light shone in, and several figures stood against the light.

"Who?!" Liu Zhenhua shouted in horror.

"Old friend, long time no see. You seem to have forgotten the rules of our family." The leading man spoke in a low voice with an aura of majesty.

I opened my eyes wide in surprise. It was the old man I met at the auction before. How could he appear here?

"How could you..." Liu Zhenhua's voice trembled, and he was obviously full of fear of the old man.

"Liu Zhenhua, you violated the agreement with our family and kidnapped innocent people without permission. Today is the time for us to clean up the mess!" A group of men in black walked out from behind the old man and surrounded Liu Zhenhua and others.

"Lolo, Yuxuan, are you okay?" The old man walked up to us and asked with concern.

"We're fine, thank you!" I said gratefully. I didn't expect that it was this old man who came to the rescue at the critical moment.

"No need to thank me. Our family owes you this." The old man sighed. "Back then, our family suffered a great change. Thanks to your Lu family for helping us, we will always remember this kindness in our hearts."

It turned out that this old man was the current head of an ancient family, and their family had a long history with the Lu family. This time he helped out in order to repay the kindness they had shown him.

With the help of the old man, we successfully rescued the housekeeper and Chenxi, and brought Liu Zhenhua and others to justice.

"Lolo, what are your plans next?" asked the old man.

"We will definitely find out the truth and bring the mastermind behind this to justice!" I said firmly.

"Good!" The old man looked at me with appreciation. "Our family will fully support you. As long as you need us, we are always at your disposal."

I know that a bigger storm is coming, but I am no longer afraid because I know that we are no longer fighting alone!

The safe return of the butler and Chenxi was like two beams of light shining through the haze, dispelling some of the lingering haze in my heart.

"Chenxi, are you okay? Did they do anything to you?" I looked Chenxi up and down anxiously, fearing that he had suffered any injustice from Liu Zhenhua.

Chenxi gave me a reassuring smile, "I'm fine, don't worry, they don't have the ability to do anything to me."

Although his tone was relaxed, I still noticed the fatigue that flashed across his eyes. After all, he had experienced life and death, so how could he really be unscathed? I suppressed my worry and turned to look at the butler. "Butler, this time it's really thanks to your connections. Otherwise, we really don't know what to do."

The butler bowed slightly, "It is my duty to protect the young lady."

“Okay, okay, as long as everyone is back safely, let’s go and have a rest first.” Lawrence Lu interrupted us and took us to the living room.

After a brief greeting, Chenxi took out a document and handed it to me. "Lolo, this is the information I've collected recently about the forces behind Liu Zhenhua and their next plan."

I took the document and carefully read it. Chenxi's analysis was as accurate as ever. He had thoroughly analyzed the enemy's power structure, their patterns of action, and even the character weaknesses of each key figure.

"Their next target is likely the new project we're developing." Chenxi pointed to a section of the document. "If this project succeeds, it will completely change the existing energy landscape. They won't give up easily."

"Even if they want to rob us, they'll have to figure it out!" I closed the file, a determined glint in my eyes. "Chenxi, what are your plans?"

Chenxi smiled slightly and said confidently, "I have formulated a series of plans to ensure that they will never return."

Over the next few days, under Chenxi's command, we began to take the initiative. He used his understanding of the enemy to set traps one after another, playing them in the palm of his hand. Meanwhile, through my collaboration with Lu Yuxuan and the ancient family, I gradually approached the truth.

However, just when we thought everything was under control, a sudden piece of news put us in a passive position again...

Chenxi's words resonated like thunder in my ears, lingering for a long time. "What? You said... you said the ancient family possesses a method to completely eliminate them?" My eyes widened in disbelief, and the documents in my hands suddenly felt heavy.

"Yes," Chenxi nodded, his expression solemn, "but this method requires a huge price, and the success rate is not 100%."

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. “No matter what the cost, we have to give it a try, right?” I turned to look at Lawrence Lu, who shook my hand firmly. “Lolo, let’s face this together.”

Led by an ancient family, we arrived at a hidden basement. Ancient murals depicted mysterious patterns, and the air was filled with an ancient and powerful force. The family elder showed us a crystal-clear energy source. It emitted a soft light, yet contained the power to destroy everything.

"This is a secret that our family has guarded for generations, and it's our only hope of destroying those dark forces." The elder's voice was deep and powerful. "But to activate it, we need to gather all the energy sources scattered around the world and fuse their power together."

A glimmer of hope ignited within me, but I also knew the road ahead would be fraught with obstacles. "We will find all the sources of energy," I said firmly, "for our future, and for the future of everyone."

So, we embarked on a journey to find energy sources. Each energy source was hidden in a dangerous place, and we encountered various challenges, some fraught with danger, others requiring a battle of wits and courage. But every time we found an energy source, I could feel a powerful force surge within me, and my faith strengthened.

However, even as we draw closer to our goal, an even more powerful force is stirring in the shadows. During one of our expeditions, we stumble upon a mysterious base. There, we encounter an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the leader of this unknown force we've been searching for...

Deep within the base, the air was cold and oppressive, a sickening stench permeating the air. "You're finally here," a cold voice called from the darkness. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows, shrouded in a black cloak. His features were invisible, but his blood-red eyes shone with a chilling evil. "Are you the mastermind?" I clenched the power source in my hand, a powerful force surging from the depths of my heart. "Why are you doing all this?"

"Why?" The man in black robe sneered, "This world is already full of injustice, the law of the jungle, and survival of the fittest. I just want to create a new order." He suddenly raised his hand, and a powerful energy wave hit us.

"Be careful!" Lu Yuxuan pulled me behind him and simultaneously released a powerful energy shield, blocking the attack. "Lolo, go find the last energy source. I'll take care of this." His expression was solemn, but his eyes were filled with determination.

I knew this wasn't the time to hesitate. I nodded and turned, running deeper into the base. Along the way, I encountered countless enemies, who attacked me frantically like tireless machines. I waved the power source in my hand, releasing powerful energy waves, pushing them back.

Finally, I found the final energy source. It lay quietly in the deepest part of the base, emitting a dazzling light. Just as I reached for it, a powerful force suddenly knocked me back. "Lolo!" I heard Lu Yuxuan's anxious cry. I struggled to stand, but found myself unable to move.

The black-robed man stood before me, a sinister smile on his face. "It's over, Lin Luoluo." He raised the energy ball in his hand and aimed it at my heart. "No!" Lu Yuxuan rushed forward recklessly, but was knocked away by him with a palm strike.

At this critical moment, the energy source in my hand suddenly burst out with dazzling light, a powerful force enveloped me, and ancient spells emerged in my mind, and I recited them instinctively.

As the incantation continued, a warm energy enveloped my body. I felt my strength steadily increasing, far surpassing anything I'd ever experienced before. I opened my eyes, a resolute light gleaming within them. I reached out and caught the energy ball thrown by the black-robed figure. Then, with a firm squeeze, the ball shattered instantly.

"This... This is impossible!" The black-robed man looked at me in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear. I walked towards him, my strength growing with each step. "Who... Who are you?" he asked in horror.

"I'm Lin Luoluo," I said coldly, "and I'm the one you'll never defeat." I raised my hand, gathering all my strength, and launched a final attack...

The black-robed figure dissipated into a cloud of black mist, leaving only a curse filled with resentment that echoed in the air. I stumbled back a few steps, the weakness of overdrawn energy washing over me like a tide, and my vision went black.

"Lolo!" Lawrence Lu rushed to my side and hugged me tightly in his arms, his voice full of worry and fear.

I forced a smile at him, indicating that I was fine, "We won."

"Yes, we won." He repeated my words, but his arms around me became tighter, as if he wanted to embed me into his body.

After a brief moment of joy, we quickly calmed down. An unsettling atmosphere still permeated the depths of the base, as if something was stirring in the shadows.

"It's not over yet," Chenxi, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke. She looked at the place where the black-robed man disappeared, her brows furrowed. "I can sense that there's an even more powerful force hidden behind this."

"What?" I was shocked. Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this?

"This power is evil and ancient. We must find it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Chenxi said in a serious tone, his eyes full of worry.

The butler came to my side and respectfully handed me a cup of hot tea. "Miss, please take a rest first. We will take care of the rest."

I took the cup and took a sip. The warm tea flowed down my throat and into my stomach, dispelling some of the chill. I knew the butler was right. I needed to recover my strength to better face the challenges ahead.

Lawrence Lu also noticed my fatigue. He gently stroked my hair and said softly, “Lolo, you take a rest first. I’ll go and make some arrangements.”

I nodded and closed my eyes, trying to calm the surging energy within me. However, my mind kept replaying the scene of the battle and the black-robed man's eyes filled with resentment before his death.

“Lolo, how do you feel?” Lawrence Lu’s voice brought me back to reality from my contemplation.

I opened my eyes and saw him sitting by the bed, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, his eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." I took the bowl of porridge and drank it slowly.

Lu Yuxuan told me that he had contacted the secret power of the family, and they would send someone to assist us in investigating the mastermind behind the incident. At the same time, Chenxi was also studying the clues obtained from the black-robed man, hoping to find more information about the mysterious power.

I put down my bowl and looked out the window at the dark night sky, feeling a surge of unease. What kind of enemy are we facing? When will this battle end?

All of this is still unknown.
