The village regained its temporary peace at night, but Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan were still on guard. The "inside man" mentioned in the mysterious letter made them feel uneasy. Who could be the inside man? This question weighed on their hearts like a stone.

"Ruo Wei, we have to find this accomplice." Gu Yan frowned and said, "Otherwise we will never be able to rest assured."

"I know, but we can't alert the enemy. We need to be careful." Lin Ruowei sighed, "But before that, we have to find out who might be the suspect."

The two decided to keep it to themselves for the time being. In the next few days, they secretly observed everyone in the village, hoping to find some clues.

That morning, Lin Ruowei was watering the flowers in the yard when she suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. She went out and saw the villagers gathered together, pointing and talking, looking very excited.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruowei asked.

A villager stepped forward and said angrily: "Ms. Lin, we found someone sneaking out of the village, and we suspect he is the accomplice!"

Lin Ruowei's heart tightened: "Take me to see it."

They took Lin Ruowei to the entrance of the village, where they saw a nervous young man being surrounded by villagers. Lin Ruowei recognized him as Xiao Li from the village. He was usually an honest person, so how could he be an insider?

"Xiao Li, why are you running?" Lin Ruowei asked.

Xiao Li hesitated, his face pale: "I... I didn't do anything bad, I just..."

"Don't be afraid, just tell me whatever you want to say." Lin Ruowei said gently.

Xiao Li lowered his head and said hesitantly: "I... I just want to go outside to see if there is any good news to bring back. I heard that Lin Heng is going to attack the village again, so..."

Lin Ruowei looked at him, doubtful but not showing it: "Everyone calm down first, we can't easily draw conclusions about whether Xiao Li is an insider or not."

Gu Yan also rushed over and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Ruowei briefly explained the situation, and after listening, Gu Yan nodded: "Ruowei is right, we can't jump to conclusions easily. Xiao Li, come back with us, we can talk slowly if there is anything."

Although the villagers still had doubts, they gradually dispersed after being persuaded by Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan. Xiao Li was taken back to the village chief's home for detailed questioning.

Back at the village chief's house, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan sat at the table, while Xiao Li sat opposite them trembling with fear.

"Xiao Li, tell us honestly, have you ever had contact with Lin Heng's people?" Lin Ruowei asked directly.

Xiao Li hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, how dare I contact them!"

Gu Yan looked into his eyes and said slowly: "Xiao Li, we believe you, but you must tell us the truth, otherwise we will all be in danger."

Xiao Li wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and took a deep breath: "I really didn't contact them. I just wanted to help get some information."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other, both of them had some doubts in their hearts. Gu Yan said softly: "Ruowei, we need more evidence, we can't just rely on speculation."

Lin Ruowei nodded: "Okay, Xiao Li, you go back first, but don't leave the village recently. We will find you if there is anything."

Xiao Li felt relieved, thanked repeatedly and left in a hurry.

"We must speed up the process of finding the culprit, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Gu Yan pondered.

"Yes, but we need to be more cautious." Lin Ruowei said, "I think we can ask Zhang San for help. He is more familiar with the situation in the village."

So they decided to go to Zhang San to discuss countermeasures. After hearing this, Zhang San expressed his willingness to fully assist.

"I will secretly observe the movements in the village to see if there are any suspicious signs." Zhang San said.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan nodded to express their gratitude. In the next few days, the village seemed to have returned to peace, but Lin Ruowei's doubts grew deeper and deeper.

One night, Lin Ruowei was about to rest when she heard whispers coming from outside the window. She quietly opened the window and saw two dark figures talking in a low voice in the yard.

"Are you sure the plan is okay?" asked one of the shadows.

"Of course, Lin Heng has already made arrangements. As long as we act according to the plan, Linjia Village will be finished." Another black shadow replied.

Lin Ruowei was shocked, knowing that this was the insider. She immediately woke up Gu Yan, and the two of them quietly followed the two shadows.

After following for a while, the two shadows entered a dense forest outside the village. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan hid in the dark and saw them meet up with a group of men in black.

"This is the insider." Gu Yan said in a low voice.

"We have to be careful not to alert the enemy." Lin Ruowei reminded.

Just as they were about to take further action, a man in black suddenly turned around and looked in their direction: "Who's there!"

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan felt nervous and quickly hid aside, holding their breath.

"Maybe it's just some small disturbance." said another man in black.

"We must act quickly, time is running out." said the leader of the men in black.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan knew that the situation was urgent and they had to take action immediately. They quickly retreated to the village and told the village chief and villagers about the situation.

"Everyone prepare for battle, the enemy is coming soon." Lin Ruowei said firmly.

The villagers responded one after another, quickly gathered together, and prepared to fight. The battle was about to break out, and Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan stood at the entrance of the village, ready to face the new challenge.
