The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

A musty smell hit my nose. I waved my hand in front of my nose. With the help of the flashlight, I saw that the room was full of dusty cardboard boxes.

"Where is this place? Why are there so many boxes?" I asked puzzledly.

Lawrence Lu didn't answer. He walked straight to a box, bent down, opened the box and flipped through it a few times, then walked to another box and repeated the same action.

"These are all..." Lawrence Lu's voice trembled a little. He took out a stack of photos from a box. The people in the photos were Lawrence Lu and me!

I hurried over and picked up a photo to look at it carefully. In the photo, Lawrence Lu and I were shopping and behaving intimately. It was obvious that it was a secretly photographed photo.

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

We continued to look through the other boxes and found that there were not only photos of Lawrence Lu and me, but also a lot of information about our family business, and even some letters and documents left by my parents when they were alive!

How did these things end up here? Who hid them here?

"Could it be..." A terrible thought suddenly popped up in my mind.

"It's them, it must be them!" Lu Yuxuan said gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with flames of anger.

Of course I know who "they" refers to. It can't be anyone else except my stepmother and stepsister!

"Why are they doing this?" I muttered to myself, feeling as if my body had fallen into an ice cellar, freezing cold.

"They have only one goal, and that is to destroy us!" Lu Yuxuan's voice was low and hoarse, but it revealed a cold chill.

We stared at everything in disbelief. These photos, documents, and letters were like sharp blades, slicing the relationship between Lu Yuxuan and me into pieces. My mind was in a mess, unable to think, and I could only hold Lu Yuxuan's arm tightly, as if it were the only driftwood in the vast ocean.

"Let's go!" Lu Yuxuan took my hand. His palms were full of cold sweat, but I could feel the strength transmitted to me from his hands.

We crouched down and groped our way out in the dim light. Just as we were about to reach the door, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky and blocked our way.

"Don't move!" A deep male voice sounded in the darkness, and the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against the back of my head.

I froze, my heart pounding like it was about to burst out of my throat. I didn't dare look back or speak, only feeling the overwhelming pressure from behind me.

"Hand over the necklace, and I may consider sparing your life." The voice sounded again, its tone full of greed and threats.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. A necklace? What necklace? Could it be... a thought flashed through my mind. Could he know the secret of the crystal necklace?

"What are you talking about? I don't know what necklace is!" I said calmly, but my voice trembled slightly.

"Stop pretending! I know the necklace is on you, don't force me to do it!" The man obviously didn't believe what I said, and his tone became more ferocious.

I felt the gun barrel against the back of my head tighten, as if it would pull the trigger in the next second. I couldn't just sit there and wait to be killed. I had to find a way to get out!

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Lawrence Lu beside me. He was clenching his fists tightly, his eyes burning with anger, but he was trying hard not to get angry. I knew he was biding his time, and he was also worried about my safety.

“Okay, I’ll give it to you!” I took a deep breath and made a decision. In order to protect Lawrence Lu, I could only compromise temporarily, but I had secretly formulated a counterattack plan in my heart.

I slowly raised my hand and fumbled with the crystal necklace around my neck. This necklace was a birthday gift from Lawrence Lu, and I had always treasured it and worn it close to my body. Now, in order to get out of this predicament, I had to reluctantly part with it.

"The necklace is here, don't mess around." I tried to keep a calm tone and slowly took the necklace off my neck.

"Throw it over here!" the man ordered.

I took a deep breath and gently threw the necklace in his direction. He seemed satisfied with my action, relaxed his guard, and reached out to take the necklace.

At that moment, I turned around suddenly and kicked him in the crotch with all my strength!

"Ah!" He let out a scream and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

I took the opportunity to pick up the gun on the ground, pointed it at him, and shouted, "Don't move!"

Lawrence Lu also reacted, and quickly rushed to my side, protecting me behind him, staring vigilantly at the man lying on the ground.

"You...how dare you..." The man said in pain, holding his stomach.

"You forced us to do this!" I said coldly. "Tell me, who are you? Why are you following us? Why did you steal my necklace?"

The man didn't answer my question, but just glared at us fiercely, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.

Lawrence Lu pulled him up from the ground, searched his body for weapons and communication equipment, and then tied him up.

"What do you want?" I asked.

“Call the police and hand him over to the police.” Lawrence Lu said without hesitation.

I nodded and was about to call the police when suddenly my eyes fell on the broken crystal necklace on the ground.

My heart sank suddenly, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and breathing became difficult.

"What's wrong?" Lawrence Lu noticed my abnormality and asked with concern.

I pointed at the necklace on the ground with trembling fingers and said hoarsely, "The necklace... is broken..."

Lawrence Lu followed my gaze and was also stunned.

The crystal necklace now lay quietly on the cold floor, its translucent pendant broken in two, emitting a dim light. I stared blankly at the fragments, tears welling up in my eyes. This necklace wasn't just a gift; it was a symbol of my love for Lawrence Lu.

“Lolo, don’t cry, it’s just a necklace,” Lawrence Lu held me in his arms and patted my back gently, “The important thing is that we are all okay.”

His embrace was warm and strong, and it gradually calmed me down. "But..."

"No buts," he held my face in his hands and gently wiped away my tears. "I'll find someone to fix it. Even if it can't be fixed, I'll give you another one that's exactly the same."

I smiled and nodded. Yes, as long as we are together, all difficulties will pass.

We called the police and handed the man over. By the time they finished taking his statement, it was already late at night.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Lawrence Lu took my hand with a gentle look in his eyes.

I returned home, but couldn't sleep. Who was that mysterious man? Why did he steal my necklace? Was the necklace's breakage really just an accident?

I tossed and turned, the man's fierce eyes and the crisp sound of the necklace breaking kept flashing in my mind, and an uneasy premonition surged in my heart.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" I answered the phone, but before I could say anything, I heard a sinister laugh coming from the other end of the line.

"Lin Luoluo, do you think this is the end? The game has just begun..."
