The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 89 Undercurrent surging
"Yuxuan, this letter... could it be really related to Mom's death?" I held his hand tightly, my fingertips turning white.
Lawrence Lu held me in his arms, stroked my back, and whispered comfortingly: “Don’t be afraid, let’s calm down and analyze it first. The timing of this letter appearing is too clever, it is very likely that someone wants to disrupt our wedding.”
"But why did they mention Mom?" I raised my head with red eyes.
Lawrence Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps they want to take advantage of your concern about this matter to make you lose your composure."
"You mean, this might be a trap?" My heart tightened.
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.” Lawrence Lu’s tone also became serious, “We must first find out who sent this letter and what their purpose is.”
"There is no signature or mailing address on the letter. Where should we start?" I felt powerless.
“Don’t worry, I’ll ask Uncle Liu to check.” Lawrence Lu said, picked up his phone and called the housekeeper, “Uncle Liu, please help me check something…”
Lawrence Lu briefly explained a few things and then hung up the phone. He turned to look at me and said with a firm look in his eyes, "I've asked Uncle Liu to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."
Two days later, Uncle Liu brought the news. Although there were no fingerprints on the envelope, after comparison by a handwriting expert, it was found to be highly similar to the handwriting of a former business competitor.
"Is it him?" Lu Yuxuan and I said the same name almost at the same time.
"That's right. It's Mr. Wang, the one you, Mr. Lu, sent to prison for maliciously spreading rumors and slandering Miss Luo Luo." Uncle Liu added, "Although he was later released on bail, his reputation in the industry plummeted because of this incident, and his company is on the verge of bankruptcy."
“It seems that he wants to take revenge on us.” A cold light flashed in Lawrence Lu’s eyes, “But why did he mention the death of Luo Luo’s mother? Is there any connection between these two things?”
Just when we were completely baffled, Uncle Liu added, "I've been secretly investigating Mr. Wang's recent movements and discovered he seems to have close ties to a mysterious organization. This organization operates in secret, and I haven't yet uncovered their specific background, but I can be sure they're definitely not simple."
"A mysterious organization?" I felt even more uneasy. "Could it be that they are also plotting something?"
A chill ran up from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and I felt as if I was in a huge spider web, and the mastermind behind this web was hiding in the dark, staring at us hungrily.
"Could it be that this matter involves other people?" I muttered to myself, an ominous premonition coming over me.
As if to confirm my suspicions, my phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed Chenxi.
"Lolo, did you receive the threatening letter?" Chenxi's voice sounded extremely anxious.
My heart was shocked. Could it be... "You received it too?"
"Well, the content is similar to yours, also about your mother. They also said that if we don't want to..." Chenxi's voice trembled a little, "In short, they warned us not to interfere in this matter, otherwise..."
She didn't say anything else, but I could sense the fear and uneasiness in her tone. It seemed the mastermind had already reached Chenxi, which only made me more determined to find out the truth.
"Chenxi, don't be afraid. We'll face this together." I tried to sound calm and resolute. "Since they chose to threaten us this way, it means they have a guilty conscience and are afraid of what we might find out."
"Lolo, you're right. We can't just sit there and wait for death." Chenxi's voice gradually returned to calm. "I've asked the family to increase security. You and Mr. Lu should also be careful."
After hanging up the phone, I told Lawrence Lu what happened. After he finished listening, his brows furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that our opponents are stronger and more cunning than we imagined." Lu Yuxuan said in a deep voice, "We must be doubly careful and find out the details of this mysterious organization as soon as possible."
So, we decided to split up. Lu Yuxuan would investigate the background of the mysterious organization, while I would secretly monitor Mr. Wang's movements, trying to find a breakthrough. For safety reasons, Lu Yuxuan assigned additional bodyguards to take turns protecting me 24 hours a day. Even my phone and computer were equipped with the most advanced anti-tracking system.
Although we pretend nothing happened on the surface, I know that each of us has a string on our heart, ready to face the coming storm at any time.
The days were like a taut bow, each filled with unease and anxiety. I forced myself to remain calm, pretending nothing had happened, going to work and leaving get off work as usual, even occasionally attending social events with Lu Yuxuan. I knew that only this way could I paralyze the enemy, causing them to let down their guard and reveal their true colors.
That day, I had just left the office when my housekeeper called to say that Mr. Wang had been seeing a mysterious person and their whereabouts were suspicious. My heart raced, and I immediately had the driver change course and head towards the location the housekeeper had mentioned.
The car stopped at the entrance of a private club. I put on sunglasses and a mask and carefully got out of the car. Through my sunglasses, I saw Mr. Wang and a tall man walk into the club. The man's back made me feel strangely familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before.
Curiosity and intuition told me I had to find out who this man was. So, I took a deep breath and quickly followed him. The doorman didn't seem to notice me, and I slipped into the lobby without a hitch.
I pretended to be nonchalant as I wandered around the hall, but my eyes never left Mr. Wang and the man. They stopped at the door of a private room, whispered a few words, and then walked into the room together.
I was delighted and was about to follow him, but was suddenly bumped from behind. I lost my balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?" A man dressed as a waiter apologized to me in a panic and reached out to help me.
I looked up at him and found that his eyes were flickering, as if he was deliberately avoiding my gaze. My heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came over me.
I pushed his hand away, struggled to stand up, and said coldly, "None of your business!"
After saying that, I ran towards the bathroom without looking back. I knew my whereabouts had been exposed and I had to get out of here as soon as possible!
I hid in the restroom, my heart pounding and my palms soaked with sweat. The waiter's eyes were clearly filled with malice. Had my whereabouts been discovered?
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. Now is not the time to panic. I must inform Lawrence Lu and the housekeeper as soon as possible.
I took out my cell phone and dialed Lawrence Lu's number, but there was a busy tone on the other end. I hung up the phone anxiously and dialed the housekeeper's number again. This time, the call was finally connected.
"Hey, housekeeper, I might have been discovered. Mr. Wang and a man are..."
Before I could finish my words, I heard a noisy sound coming from the other end of the phone, followed by a loud bang and the phone was disconnected.
I froze, a sense of foreboding washing over me. Something must have happened to the housekeeper!
I couldn't care less about anything else and rushed out of the bathroom, running as fast as I could. I had to find the housekeeper as soon as possible and find out what had happened!
However, when I ran to the door of the club, I was stopped by two burly security guards.
"Sorry, miss, you can't leave without an invitation." One of the security guards said expressionlessly.
"I have to leave immediately!" I said anxiously, "My friend is still in there, I have to find him!"
"Excuse me, miss, please cooperate with us," another security guard said coldly, "otherwise, we will have to take coercive measures."
I looked at them in despair, knowing that I might not be able to leave today. My heart sank to the bottom, and an unprecedented sense of fear enveloped me.
Just then, a black car suddenly stopped in front of me, the window slowly lowered, revealing a familiar face.
"Get in the car!" His tone was cold, but his eyes were full of worry.
Without hesitation, I opened the car door and got in. The car sped away from the club like an arrow, leaving the two security guards standing there in bewilderment.
"Who are they?" I asked in shock.
"Don't ask so many questions. Now is not the time to explain." He said coldly while driving, "We are in big trouble!"
