As the night deepened, the village was silent, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan led the villagers to subdue a group of men in black, but the enemy's threat was not lifted.

Lin Ruowei sat in the yard, looking at the starry sky, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. Gu Yan came over and handed her a cup of tea: "Ruowei, don't worry too much, we have done a good job."

"Thank you, Gu Yan." Lin Ruowei took the teacup and smiled, "It's just that I always feel that things are not that simple."

Gu Yan nodded and sat beside her: "That's right, Lin Heng won't give up so easily. We must prepare for the worst."

At this time, Wang Zhong hurried over with a hint of nervousness on his face: "Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu, we just received an anonymous letter."

Lin Ruowei took the letter, opened it, and her face instantly became solemn: "The letter said that Lin Heng has sent a stronger team to attack our village in three days."

"It seems we don't have much time left." Gu Yan said in a deep voice.

"That's right, we must act immediately." Lin Ruowei stood up and called everyone to a meeting.

At the meeting, Lin Ruowei told everyone the contents of the letter, and the villagers expressed their support for her decision.

"We need to strengthen our defense and set up more traps. At the same time, we need to find Lin Heng's stronghold and take the initiative to attack." Lin Ruowei said.

"Yes, we can't just sit there and wait for death." Gu Yan echoed.

Everyone agreed to split up and act separately. Some villagers were responsible for strengthening the defense and setting traps, while the other part followed Gu Yan and Lin Ruowei to Lin Heng's base to find his weakness.

Three days later, night fell again, and the village was filled with a tense atmosphere. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan led a team and quietly sneaked into Lin Heng's base.

"Everyone, be careful and try not to make any noise." Lin Ruowei reminded in a low voice.

They approached step by step and finally stopped in front of a hidden cave. Lin Ruowei signaled everyone to stop, and she and Gu Yan quietly looked inside and found that several people were discussing something.

"Boss, we must take over Linjia Village this time." said a man in black.

"Yes, as long as we control their resources, we can completely defeat them." Another man in black added.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other and came up with a plan. They quietly retreated and prepared for an ambush with everyone.

"We must take advantage of their unpreparedness and strike quickly." Lin Ruowei said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded and quickly arranged the ambush. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan took the lead and quietly approached the cave, preparing to launch a surprise attack.

Just as they were about to take action, an unexpected voice broke the silence: "Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu!"

When everyone looked back, they saw Zhang San running towards them with an anxious look on his face.

"Zhang San, why are you here?" Lin Ruowei asked in surprise.

"I just received news that Lin Heng's main force has gathered outside the village, preparing to attack!" Zhang San said breathlessly.

"What!" Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other and their hearts tightened.

"It seems that this is just a smoke screen. The real attack is in the village." Gu Yan reacted immediately.

"We must go back immediately." Lin Ruowei gave the order decisively.

Everyone quickly retreated and rushed back to the village. At this time, Lin Heng's main force had already appeared at the entrance of the village, and they were ready to launch an attack.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Lin Ruowei shouted, leading the villagers into battle.

The village was in chaos and the battle was fierce. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan tried their best to command the villagers to resist tenaciously. At the critical moment, Wang Zhong arrived with a reinforcement and finally turned the tide of the battle.

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu, we're here!" Wang Zhong said loudly.

"That's great!" Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan were ecstatic.

After a fierce battle, Lin Heng's troops were finally repelled. The villagers cheered and celebrated their victory. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the enemy going away, with a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

However, they knew that the real challenge was not over yet. There was a bigger force behind Lin Heng, and this battle was just the beginning.

"Ruowei, we have to keep working hard and not take it lightly," Gu Yan reminded.

"That's right, we must always remain vigilant." Lin Ruowei said firmly.

Just as everyone was celebrating their victory, a new letter quietly arrived. The letter read: "Your courage is commendable, but this is just the beginning. Next time, we will be more ferocious. Be careful of your accomplices."

Insider? Who could be the insider? Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan's hearts tightened. What secrets were hidden in the village?
