The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

I pointed at the nearly invisible black camera and gasped. "So our every move is under surveillance! Yuxuan, what do we do now?"

Lawrence Lu didn't say anything, but just pulled me into his arms and held me tightly. I could feel the rise and fall of his chest, and his voice, suppressed with anger, rang in my ears: "Don't be afraid, Luo Luo, we won't let them succeed."

He picked up his phone, dialed a number, and ordered in a cold tone, "Notify everyone and prepare a press conference. I'm going to make certain people pay for their actions!"

The press conference was packed with people, and the spotlights flashed non-stop. Lawrence Lu, dressed in a black suit and with a stern expression, stood in front of the microphone and announced to all the media: "Today, I want to expose a carefully planned conspiracy, a conspiracy to embezzle the Lu Group and destroy my reputation!"

His words were like thunderclaps, instantly igniting the entire venue. Reporters raised their cameras and rushed to take pictures, fearing to miss even a single detail.

"I have irrefutable evidence proving that my uncle, the former general manager of the Lu Group, exploited his position to embezzle public funds and colluded with competitors to maliciously suppress the company's stock price in an attempt to take over the Lu Group!"

Lawrence Lu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was resounding. He threw the document bag in his hand on the table, and the documents inside scattered out. Each document recorded the evidence of his uncle's crime, which was shocking.

I looked at Lu Yuxuan. His eyes were determined, like a sharp blade, peeling back the truth layer by layer, exposing the conspiracy and machinations to the light of day. The reporters in the audience were in an uproar, and the flashbulbs fell like a dense rain of drops. I clenched my fists, feeling a mixture of admiration for Lu Yuxuan and disappointment and anger towards my uncle.

After the press conference, Lawrence Lu's phone kept ringing, with calls and messages pouring in. I knew this was just the calm before the storm, and greater challenges lay ahead.

“Lolo, I have arranged for someone to investigate my uncle’s whereabouts. I believe there will be news soon.” Lawrence Lu comforted me while answering the phone.

"Well, I believe you." I nodded, but I felt a little uneasy inside.

Sure enough, not long after, my best friend brought me some news: "Lolo, I found some clues. It seems your uncle has fled abroad, and he is trying to transfer his assets!"

“What?!” Lawrence Lu and I were both surprised.

"I have asked someone to keep an eye on his account, and if there is any movement, we will be notified immediately." The bestie added.

Lawrence Lu made a prompt decision and immediately dialed a number, saying in a serious tone: “This is Lawrence Lu. I need to contact Interpol immediately. I have solid evidence to prove that my uncle, that is…”

His voice was calm and decisive, as if he had everything under control. Looking at his profile, I felt a surge of security. I knew that no matter what happened, he would protect me and face it with me.

While waiting for news, I felt like every nerve in my body was stretched to its limits, afraid of missing any important information. Lawrence Lu was always by my side, his eyes like the brightest stars in the night sky, giving me strength and peace of mind.

“Don’t worry, he will pay the price for his actions.” Lawrence Lu gently held my hand with a firm tone.

Finally, a week later, we received news from Interpol: my uncle was arrested while trying to board a flight to a certain country, all his illegal gains were frozen, and he would be severely punished by law.

When I heard the news, I felt like a huge weight had finally been lifted off my chest. I breathed a long sigh of relief, an indescribable sense of relief welling up inside me.

"We succeeded." I turned to look at Lawrence Lu, my eyes slightly red.

Lawrence Lu gently held me in his arms, and his deep voice rang in my ears: “Together, we protected everything we wanted to protect.”

Yes, we succeeded. We not only protected the Lu Group, but also brought the punishment due to those who sought to harm us. More importantly, through this struggle, our love has grown stronger, and our trust in each other has deepened. Having weathered all the storms, our bond, like gold tempered by fire, has become even more dazzling.

However, just as we were immersed in the joy of victory, a rapid ringing of the phone broke the silence. Lawrence Lu picked up the phone, and his face instantly became solemn.

"Hello?" He spoke in a low voice, hinting at a hint of uneasiness.

The voice on the other end of the phone was unfamiliar, with a creepy hoarseness: "Mr. Lu, congratulations on winning this battle, but this is just the beginning."

My heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over me.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Lawrence Lu's voice was cold and contained a hint of warning.

"Haha," the other party chuckled, "Don't be nervous, I just want to tell you that the real enemy is much stronger than you think. Do you think you won? No, you just cleared a chess piece."

“Who are you?!” Lawrence Lu suddenly raised his voice, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"You'll know soon." The other party said, then hung up the phone, leaving only an unsettling busy tone.

I nervously grabbed Lawrence Lu’s arm and asked uneasily, “Who called? What did he mean?”

Lawrence Lu’s face was terribly gloomy. He held the phone tightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: “It seems that we are too happy too early. The real mastermind behind the scenes has not yet appeared…”
