The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

Lu Yuxuan rushed forward, grabbed the man in black's wrist, and twisted it hard. The man in black felt pain and the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground. I followed closely behind him, took out the pepper spray I had prepared in advance from my bag, and sprayed it into the other man in black's eyes.

"Ah!" The man in black covered his eyes and fell to the ground in pain. Seeing this, the other men in black immediately abandoned their target and turned to rush towards us. Lu Yuxuan protected me behind him and engaged in a fierce fight with them. He was agile and fierce, and soon knocked several men in black to the ground.

"Lolo, hurry up!" Lawrence Lu took my hand and ran out of the warehouse. We ran all the way, and behind us came the roars of the men in black and the sound of chasing footsteps.

As we ran to the warehouse door, a black car suddenly appeared, its headlights blinding us for a moment. "Get in!" a familiar voice called out from inside the car.

It’s Lawrence Lu’s assistant, why is he here? Without time to think about it, we quickly got in the car, and the black car rushed out like an arrow from a string, quickly leaving the man in black behind.

"What's going on? Why are you here?" I asked in shock.

"Boss Lu asked me to secretly protect your safety," the assistant explained while driving. "Boss Lu is worried about your safety, so he asked me to keep track of your whereabouts."

I turned to look at Lawrence Lu. He was resting with his eyes closed, his brow furrowed, as if thinking about something. I knew he must be worried about me again.

"Who are those men in black? Why are they chasing us?" I asked.

"They are my stepmother's people." Lawrence Lu opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "They are looking for something, something that can bring down the Lu Group."

"What?" I was even more confused.

"A document, a top-secret document that records all the business secrets of the Lu Group." Lawrence Lu's tone was heavy, "If this document falls into the hands of my stepmother, the consequences will be disastrous."

I gasped. It turned out my stepmother's target wasn't me, but the entire Lu Group! What on earth was she planning?

The assistant took us to a safe residence and left. Lu Yuxuan and I sat in the living room, the atmosphere solemn.

"What should we do now?" I broke the silence.

Lawrence Lu pondered for a moment and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to take the initiative." He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Please help me find out who my stepmother has been in close contact with recently. Also, I want to know all her plans."

After hanging up the phone, Lawrence Lu's face was terribly gloomy. He turned to look at me, his eyes full of worry and self-blame. "It's all my fault for getting you involved in this dangerous fight."

I held his hand and said firmly, "We are husband and wife. We must face all the ups and downs together. Besides, I am not a weak and helpless little girl. I will fight with you to the end."

Lawrence Lu nodded, a flicker of relief in his eyes. He turned on his computer and began to plan his counterattack. I sat quietly beside him, watching him strategize, as if everything was under his control, and my heart gradually calmed down.

A few days later, my stepmother announced that she would acquire a subsidiary of the Lu Group. This subsidiary was one of the pillar industries of the Lu Group. If the stepmother succeeded in acquiring it, it would deal a huge blow to the Lu Group.

I was secretly surprised. My stepmother acted so quickly. It seemed that she couldn't wait to take action against the Lu Group.

"Don't worry, everything is in my plan." Lawrence Lu smiled confidently and handed me a document, "This is the 'secret weapon' I prepared for you."

I took the document, opened it, and was immediately struck by its beauty. It was a collection of clothing designs, featuring a series of bold, avant-garde dresses, each brimming with fashion and design.

“This is…” I looked at Lawrence Lu puzzledly.

“I know you have a talent for fashion design, so I specially prepared this gift for you.” Lawrence Lu explained, “Doesn’t stepmother like to show off in various public occasions? We will take advantage of her vanity and make her look bad in front of everyone!”

I immediately understood Lawrence Lu's plan. He was going to use my design to set a "fashion trap" for my stepmother! I nodded excitedly, "I will definitely complete the task well!"

Over the next few days, I immersed myself in designing the clothes. I tailored several "special" dresses for my stepmother based on her figure and preferences. These dresses appeared glamorous on the surface, but they actually held a hidden secret.

Soon, the day arrived for my stepmother to attend a charity dinner. She appeared at the banquet in a red evening gown I designed for her and immediately became the focus of the whole audience.

"This dress is so beautiful!" "Madam, you look so radiant today!" There were exclamations of admiration all around, and a proud smile appeared on the stepmother's face.

However, what she didn't know was that a "fashion disaster" was about to befall her...

In the banquet hall, the crystal chandeliers shone brightly, and among the elegantly dressed women, the stepmother became the center of attention. She was so engrossed in the crowd's praise that she didn't notice the lights on the stage suddenly changed color, from the soft light to a glaring red.

Then, the background music on the stage turned into a strong rock music. The deafening music made everyone feel uncomfortable. The smile on the stepmother's face froze. She didn't understand what was happening.

At that moment, my "fashion trap" was activated! I installed a small spray device in the hem of the dress. To the rhythm of the music, the spray device sprayed out a large amount of colored powder, dyeing the entire stepmother's dress into a colorful "palette."

"Ah!" The stepmother screamed and frantically tried to wipe the powder off her skirt with her hands, but the more she wiped, the dirtier it became, and finally the whole skirt became a mess.

There was an uproar at the banquet, and everyone was staring at the scene in amazement. The stepmother became a complete "joke".

Hiding in the crowd, I watched my stepmother's discomfiture, feeling secretly proud. This was just a small lesson I'd taught her; there were more exciting things waiting for her next!

The successive blows pushed the stepmother to the brink of collapse, and she finally realized that her plan might have been exposed. In anger and shame, she decided to go all out and attack Lawrence Lu directly.

That night, Lu Yuxuan received a mysterious phone call. The person on the other end of the phone claimed to know the truth about his father's death and asked him to meet at an abandoned factory in the suburbs. Lu Yuxuan knew it was a trap set by his stepmother, but he decided to go anyway because he wanted to uncover the truth about his father's death himself.

I was worried about Lu Yuxuan taking the risk alone, so I secretly followed him. We arrived at the agreed location. The factory was pitch dark, with only a faint light flickering in the distance.

"Yuxuan, you're here." A cold voice sounded in the darkness, and then the stepmother walked out of the shadows, holding a pistol in her hand, pointing the gun at Lu Yuxuan.

"What do you want to do?" Lawrence Lu asked calmly.

"I want you dead!" the stepmother said, gritting her teeth. "You deserve to die, just like your father!"

After saying that, she was about to pull the trigger. At the critical moment, I rushed out and stood in front of Lu Yuxuan.

"No!" I yelled.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out. I felt a sharp pain, and then my vision went black. I knew nothing...

When I woke up, I found myself lying on a hospital bed, with Lawrence Lu guarding me, his face full of worry and self-blame.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Yuxuan asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury." I shook my head, signaling him not to worry. "Where's my stepmother? Was she caught?"

"Don't worry, the police have caught her. She planted a bug in your bag, so she knows everything we said," Lawrence Lu explained. "The police found all the evidence in her office, including her transaction records with the mysterious organization and the plan for the hostile takeover. She can't escape now."

I breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt at ease...

With the host taking the stage, the banquet officially began. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the music started and the stepmother was about to step onto the dance floor with her partner when something unexpected happened.

"His-"

The crisp tearing sound was particularly jarring in the silent hall. I had already tampered with the hem of my dress, and now my stepmother's carefully dressed appearance was ruined. Even her delicate makeup couldn't hide her panic. The crowd erupted in exclamations, followed by a flurry of whispers. I watched as my stepmother's face turned from red to white, then from white to blue, and finally she could only leave in dismay amid the mocking gazes of the crowd.

This was just the beginning. In the following period of time, the "fashion traps" I designed took effect one after another, causing my stepmother to make a fool of herself in various public occasions. Her public image plummeted and the company's stock price was also affected.

I could tell my stepmother was on the verge of collapse. She became restless and even began to doubt the people around her. She certainly couldn't have imagined that I was behind all of this.

One night, Lawrence Lu suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number. The caller claimed that they had kidnapped me and asked him to take the top-secret document in exchange.

“Lolo!” Lawrence Lu’s face turned pale in an instant. He gripped his phone tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand.

I know this is my stepmother's conspiracy. She's desperate!

"Don't worry, I will save you!" Lawrence Lu forced himself to calm down and said to the person on the other end of the phone.

I grabbed Lawrence Lu's hand and shook my head. "Don't go! This is a trap!"

Lawrence Lu looked at me, his eyes filled with worry and determination, "I can't lose you!"

I knew I couldn't stop him, so I had no choice but to trust him.

Lu Yuxuan followed the other party's request and went to the agreed location alone with the documents. I secretly followed him and called the police at the same time.

When the police arrived, the stepmother and her accomplices were about to attack Lawrence Lu. At the critical moment, the police rushed in and arrested them all.

In her stepmother's office, the police found all her criminal evidence, including her transaction records with the mysterious organization and the plan of a hostile takeover.
