Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

As the investigation deepened, Jiang Ciyou found himself trapped in an invisible and intricate net, making it difficult for him to move forward and facing numerous difficulties.

At first, she just felt that it was difficult to piece together a clear and complete picture from the scattered information about Lu Jingchen, as if there was an invisible hand controlling everything behind the scenes, deliberately hiding the key parts to prevent her from peeking into the truth. But she did not back down because of this, but instead became more determined to uncover the mystery.

In order to obtain more valuable clues, Jiang Ciyou began to frequently meet and communicate with friends in the business circle, not missing any details that might be related to Lu Jingchen. She often rushed between various coffee shops and office buildings, talking to different people and getting information. Sometimes she was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat a hot meal. However, her actions did not escape the eyes of some people.

One day, when she walked out of a business club as usual, she keenly felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at her closely from behind. She pretended to walk as if nothing had happened, and from time to time she used her peripheral vision to observe the surrounding situation. Sure enough, after she turned into a relatively secluded alley, the strange figures also quietly followed her.

Jiang Ciyou's heartbeat began to speed up, and cold sweat broke out on her palms, but she tried to keep herself calm and think about how to deal with it. She quickened her pace, trying to shake off the tail behind her, but those people also quickened their pace, gradually shortening the distance between them and her.

When she reached the end of the alley and found it was a dead end, her heart tightened. At this time, the strangers had surrounded her, all of them had stern faces and a hint of hostility in their eyes.

"Ms. Jiang, we advise you not to continue the investigation. There are some things that you cannot interfere with." One of the tall and fleshy men said coldly with a hint of threat in his voice.

Jiang Ciyou pretended to be calm. She raised her chin slightly, looked at the people in front of her with a firm gaze, and said, "Who are you? Why are you following me? I don't understand what you are talking about."

Those people looked at each other, seeming a little surprised by Jiang Ciyou's reaction, but they did not give up.

"Ms. Jiang, you are a smart person. Don't force us to take more drastic measures. You just need to take care of your own business and stop inquiring about news that has nothing to do with you, otherwise you will regret it." Another man continued, his tone was even colder, which made people shudder.

Although Jiang Ciyou was afraid, she was stubborn and unwilling to give in. "I don't understand what you mean. If you don't leave, I'll call the police." As she spoke, she quietly reached into her bag and fumbled for her phone.

Those people seemed to be aware of her intention. One of them quickly stepped forward, snatched her bag, took out her cell phone, threw it on the ground, and stomped it to pieces with his foot.

“Ms. Jiang, you’d better be obedient. Calling the police will do you no good. We are just here to give you a warning. If you don’t listen to our advice, we can’t guarantee what will happen next.” The leading man said viciously, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

Jiang Ciyou looked at the crushed phone, and despair surged in her heart, but she knew she had to stay calm. She looked around, trying to find a chance to escape, but this dead end was surrounded by high walls and there was no way out.

At this moment, she suddenly saw an abandoned iron rod in the corner of the wall, and she moved quietly towards the direction of the iron rod, while distracting the attention of those people with her eyes.

"What exactly do you want? I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like this?" Jiang Ciyou said loudly, trying to make his voice sound more firm.

Those people were attracted by her words, and the moment they relaxed their vigilance, Jiang Ciyou rushed over, picked up the iron rod and blocked himself.

"Don't come over, or I will be rude!" Jiang Ciyou shouted, the iron rod in her hand trembling slightly, showing her inner nervousness.

When those people saw the iron rod in Jiang Ciyou's hand, they seemed a little afraid, but they did not retreat.

"Ms. Jiang, you are asking for trouble." The leading man said, slowly approaching Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou held the iron rod tightly and kept backing away until her back was against the wall. Her heartbeat echoed in her ears. She knew that she was in a very dangerous situation, but she would never give up resistance easily.

Just as those people were about to approach her, suddenly, there were hurried footsteps and shouts coming from the alley.

"What are you doing!" A familiar voice sounded. Jiang Ciyou recognized it as Lu Jingchen's voice, and a sense of hope suddenly surged in his heart.

When the strangers heard the voice, their faces changed. They looked at Jiang Ciyou, then at the alley entrance, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"Go!" the leading man shouted, and several people quickly turned around and fled in the other direction of the alley.

Lu Jingchen quickly ran to Jiang Ciyou and hugged her in his arms, his eyes full of worry and concern. "Ciyou, are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked anxiously, holding Jiang Ciyou's shoulders tightly with both hands and looking her up and down.

Jiang Ciyou leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. All the tension and fear she had just felt were released at this moment, and her body was shaking.

"I'm fine, just a little scared." Jiang Ciyou said sobbingly, with a hint of fright in his voice.

Lu Jingchen gently stroked Jiang Ciyou's hair and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Why are you here? Did something happen?"

Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know how to explain her behavior to Lu Jingchen, nor did she know whether she should tell him that she was investigating him.

"I... I was just passing by here, and I didn't expect to meet these people." Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to hide the truth. She was afraid that Lu Jingchen would be angry after knowing that she was investigating him, which would affect their relationship.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not ask any further. "No matter what, you have to be more careful in the future. These people don't look simple, I'm worried that they will come to trouble you again."

Jiang Ciyou nodded, but she was secretly thinking about what to do next. She knew that her investigation had aroused the vigilance of some people, and these people would obviously not let her go easily. She had to think of a way to protect her own safety while continuing to explore the truth about Lu Jingchen.

After returning home, Jiang Ciyou lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. The faces of those strangers and their threatening words kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was filled with uneasiness. At the same time, she was also thinking about Lu Jingchen's identity and his relationship with the mysterious organization. She knew that she had fallen into a dangerous situation, but she had no way back and could only keep going until all the truth was revealed...
