The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

"They've taken action ahead of time, and their target is..." Uncle Wang suddenly stopped, his face livid, "You!"

I was startled, and before I could react, I heard hurried footsteps. Then a group of men in black burst through the door and surrounded us aggressively. They were well-trained and quick, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary thugs.

“Lolo, don’t be afraid!” Lawrence Lu protected me behind him, his eyes scanning the surroundings fiercely, “Uncle Wang, what’s going on?”

Uncle Wang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "They must have discovered my plan, so they took action early. Yuxuan, leave these people to me. You take Luo Luo and go first!"

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The leading man in black sneered and waved his hand, "Catch them!"

A melee broke out instantly. Lawrence Lu was very skilled, knocking down several men in black with just three punches and two kicks, but the other side was outnumbered and we were quickly forced into a corner.

"We can't go on like this, we must break out!" I said anxiously, looking around for an escape route.

Lawrence Lu made a quick decision and pulled me towards the back door of the villa. The men in black were chasing me relentlessly, the sound of gunfire whizzed past my ears, my heart was pounding, but I could only grit my teeth and run desperately after Lawrence Lu.

Amidst the chaos, I suddenly remembered Uncle Wang's plan: This afternoon, we were going to hold a press conference at a hotel in the city center to expose the crimes of the conspiracy group.

"Yuxuan, press conference!" I reminded him loudly.

Lawrence Lu immediately understood what I meant, “I see, let’s go to the press conference!”

We rushed out of the villa and drove towards the city center. Along the way, Lawrence Lu kept making phone calls, contacting various parties to ensure that the press conference could go smoothly.

When we arrived at the hotel, a large number of media reporters had already gathered at the press conference. When they saw us, flash cameras suddenly lit up and reporters rushed over, surrounding us.

"Ms. Lin, are you holding a press conference today to announce some important news?"

"Mr. Lu, what do you think about the recent family infighting?"

"Ms. Lin, are you really as the rumors say, you are..."

Faced with the reporters' barrage of questions, Lu Yuxuan and I exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and walked up to the podium.

“Everyone, please be quiet!” I picked up the microphone and looked around, my eyes firm and confident. “Today, Mr. Lawrence Lu and I are going to expose to everyone a conspiracy group hidden behind the glamorous fashion world and their heinous crimes!”

As soon as I finished speaking, the audience erupted in an uproar. Reporters were whispering and discussing, and countless pairs of eyes stared at me curiously, waiting for my next words.

"I know that many people are full of doubts about my identity. Yes, I am not the biological daughter of the Lin family, but I am also one of the victims!" I took a deep breath, told my life story, and made the evil deeds of my stepmother and stepsister public.

My story shocked everyone present. Many people looked at me with sympathy and pity, no longer suspicion or speculation.

"Lolo is right, we are all kept in the dark." An old and majestic voice sounded, and the crowd automatically parted. A group of people slowly walked onto the stage, led by Lu Yuxuan's grandfather, the head of the Lu family, who was also the ruler of that mysterious family.

He stood beside me, his eyes scanning the audience sharply. "Our Lu family will absolutely not tolerate anything that would tarnish our family's reputation! From today on, we will stand with Luo Luo and Yu Xuan to fight against evil forces and safeguard our family's honor and justice!"

His statement was undoubtedly a bombshell, sending shockwaves through the crowd. No one had expected that this mysterious and low-key family would choose this moment, and in this way, to publicly declare their stance.

At this time, a slender figure walked onto the stage. She was wearing a simple dress and her face looked a little haggard, but it could not hide the determination and courage in her eyes.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chenxi." Her voice was soft, yet clear to everyone. "I'm also a victim of the conspiracy..." Chenxi's voice trembled slightly, but every word was clear as she recounted her experience of being framed and blacklisted. The audience erupted in sobs. Her story silenced those who had once doubted us. The truth always possesses a power that cannot be ignored.

"I know that many of you have been deceived and exploited." A deep male voice rang out from the crowd, and everyone turned to see a man in a black suit walking resolutely toward the stage. His name was Ken, a former core member of the conspiracy group and one of our undercover agents.

Ken's appearance stirred the already tumultuous crowd into a frenzy. Standing under the spotlight, he scanned the surprised, evasive, and guilty faces in the audience. He spoke slowly, "I used to be one of them, but I can't stand having my conscience trampled upon time and again. I'm here today to expose their true colors!"

He pulled out a document bag from his pocket and held it aloft. "Inside this is evidence of all their crimes, including how they manipulated the competition, suppressed newcomers, and even went to great lengths to destroy their competitors!"

Ken's words were like a bomb, exploding through the crowd. Those who had been part of the conspiracy were now panicking. They began blaming each other, trying to distance themselves from the conspiracy. The alliance that had once seemed unbreakable, at this moment, collapsed.

"We won't let them get away with it!" Lawrence Lu's voice rang out amid the chaos. He held my hand tightly, his eyes determined. "We will establish a new fashion brand, a truly fair, just, and hopeful brand! We want everyone to know that fashion shouldn't be synonymous with scheming and darkness, but a symbol of dreams and beauty!"

His voice, brimming with power and hope, was like a ray of light, illuminating the gloomy stage and the hearts of all those who love fashion. After the show, my phone practically blew up with calls from media outlets, partners, and even those who had previously rejected us, all offering their support and congratulations. I stared out the window at the endless stream of traffic, but I felt no sense of relief. I knew this was just the beginning.

"What are you thinking about?" Lawrence Lu walked to my side and gently put his arm around my shoulders.

"I'm thinking about what to do next." I turned to look at him, my eyes full of fatigue. "Those people won't let us go so easily."

Lawrence Lu smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with a hint of sharpness. "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements." He handed me a document. "This is the plan for our new brand. I've already contacted several investment companies, and they're all very interested."

I took the plan and quickly glanced through it, secretly admiring Lawrence Lu's thoroughness and decisiveness. He always made the most favorable decisions in the shortest time.

"What we need to do now is to strike while the iron is hot and bring the new brand to market as soon as possible." Lu Yuxuan pointed to a place on the plan, "I have already contacted several factories. They can provide us with the highest quality fabrics and the most exquisite craftsmanship."

I nodded, a spark of hope ignited in my heart. Yes, we still have dreams, we still have a future, and those who want to defeat us will only become stepping stones on our way forward.

"Boom boom boom——"

A rapid knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, and my assistant Xiao Ai ran in panicked, "Boss Lin, Boss Lu, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong? Take your time." I signaled Xiao Ai not to be anxious.

"The police... the police are here and said... they want to take Mr. Lu away!" Xiao Ai's voice trembled and her face was pale.

My heart tightened, and a sense of foreboding washed over me. Before I could react, several uniformed police officers had already walked into the office...
