As the night deepened, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan made nervous preparations while trying to stay relaxed and making jokes to lighten the atmosphere.

"Gu Yan, do you think we can become famous in one battle like the heroes in novels?" Lin Ruowei asked with a smile.

"Of course you can, as long as you don't fall at the critical moment." Gu Yan joked.

"Tsk, I'm not the kind of heroine who would hold everyone back." Lin Ruowei rolled her eyes.

At this moment, Wang Zhong came in from outside with a serious look on his face: "Are you all ready? Those suspicious people have already started to act."

"Okay, everyone stay alert, and the action begins!" Lin Ruowei immediately got into the state and asked everyone to start making arrangements.

They quickly blocked the road to the village, deployed personnel to guard each entrance and exit, and strengthened patrols of the tea garden and clay mine. Gu Yan was responsible for leading a team to secretly observe the movements of those suspicious people.

Under the cover of night, the village was silent, but the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan quietly lurked behind a big tree at the entrance of the village, observing the every move of the men in black.

"Look, what are they doing?" Lin Ruowei asked in a low voice.

"They seem to be discussing something. It seems they are also making a plan." Gu Yan replied.

The two held their breath and listened carefully to the conversation between the men in black.

"Boss, are we really going to take action? This village looks very ordinary." A man in black asked in a low voice.

"Stop talking nonsense. Our superiors asked us to find out the situation here. No matter whether it is ordinary or not, we have to complete the task." Another man in black replied.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other and came up with a plan. Gu Yan took out a stone and threw it gently in the direction of the man in black. The stone made a slight sound on the ground.

"Who!" The man in black immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound.

Gu Yan and Lin Ruowei quickly hid behind the tree, holding their breath and waiting for their chance. The men in black slowly approached, and just when they were not far from the tree, Gu Yan suddenly jumped out and threw a bag of flour in their faces.

“What the hell!” The man in black was choked by the flour and started coughing. He lost his sight in an instant.

"Retreat!" Lin Ruowei took the opportunity to pull Gu Yan towards the village.

"Chase him!" The man in black chased after him in a panic.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan sprinkled chili powder and sand on the ground while running to create obstacles and slow down the black-clad men. They were almost caught several times, but they always managed to escape danger with their flexible skills and witty responses.

"Your trick of using flour is truly amazing!" Lin Ruowei said with a smile as she ran.

"These are all life wisdom." Gu Yan answered proudly.

Finally, they led the man in black around in a big circle and returned to the village entrance. The villagers who had been lying in ambush rushed forward and surrounded the man in black.

"See where you can run!" The village chief stood in front and said angrily.

The man in black saw that the situation was hopeless and had no choice but to surrender. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan panted and high-fived each other to celebrate: "Success!"

"We finally caught these guys." Lin Ruowei said with a smile.

"However, we still need to get more information from them," Gu Yan reminded.

The villagers took the man in black to the village's small ancestral hall, and Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan began to interrogate him. After a combination of soft and hard tactics, the man in black finally revealed the truth.

"We are from the Black Wind Society. We have been ordered to come here to investigate the situation in the tea garden and clay mine and prepare to destroy them." A man in black said helplessly.

"Who is your leader?" Lin Ruowei asked.

"Our leader is Lin Heng, he is a core member of the 'Black Wind Society'." The man in black replied.

"Lin Heng!" Gu Yan frowned, "It turned out to be him."

"It seems that our opponent is more difficult to deal with than we thought." Lin Ruowei took a deep breath.

Just when everyone thought that things were going well, another man in black suddenly sneered: "Do you think that catching us is the end of the matter? Lin Heng has a backup plan, just wait and see."

These words made Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan feel nervous, and the villagers also felt uneasy. It seems that the real challenge is still to come.

At this time, Wang Zhong walked in with a serious expression: "Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu, someone outside found a strange letter, which seems to be for you."

Lin Ruowei took the letter, opened it and looked at it, her face suddenly changed: "This is... a letter from Lin Heng!"

The letter was brief but meaningful: "Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu, your counterattack was brilliant, but the real game has just begun. Wait for my next move."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion and worry.
