Don't worry, mother, I've brought the golden finger to change your fate

As night fell, the capital city looked even more prosperous in the brilliant lights, but Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan had no time to appreciate it all. They followed the young official, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness. The young official led them through several quiet alleys and finally arrived in front of an inconspicuous courtyard.

“This is the secret base of the court’s confidants,” the young official whispered.

Lin Ruowei nodded: "We must be careful."

They knocked gently on the gate, and an old servant came out to greet them. Seeing the young official, he nodded slightly and said, "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

They were taken into a spacious study room, in the middle of which sat a middle-aged man with a dignified face but a hint of warmth in his eyes. He was none other than the emperor's trusted minister, Lord Li.

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu, I heard that you have important evidence to submit?" Lord Li asked straight to the point.

Lin Ruowei nodded and handed the secret letter to Lord Li: "These are the evidences we took back from the mysterious staff at the risk of our lives. They record his conspiracy and plan in detail."

Lord Li took the secret letter and read it carefully. His expression became more solemn. "Sure enough, the ambition of the mysterious staff is obvious. You have done a good job. These evidences will play a key role in exposing his conspiracy."

Gu Yan asked: "Master Li, what should we do next?"

Lord Li pondered for a moment and said, "You can rest here for the time being. I will immediately present the evidence to the emperor and ask him to order a thorough investigation of the matter."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan finally felt relieved, and they followed the old servant to the room where they were settled. They drank tea and relaxed.

"It seems that we really succeeded this time." Gu Yan said with a smile.

Lin Ruowei also smiled and said, "Yes, but we still have to be careful. The remnants of the mysterious staff are still lurking in the dark."

They chatted for a while and prepared to rest. Just as they were about to fall asleep, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. The two looked at each other alertly and quickly got up.

"What happened?" Lin Ruowei asked as she opened the door.

The old servant hurried over and panted, saying, "Master Li asks you to go to the study immediately. He has something important to tell you."

The two of them hurriedly followed the old servant to the study and saw Lord Li standing beside the desk with a serious expression.

"What happened?" Gu Yan asked.

Lord Li sighed and said, "I just received news that the remnants of the mysterious staff have noticed our actions here, and they are mobilizing troops and preparing to attack us."

Lin Ruowei's heart tightened: "Then what should we do?"

Lord Li said firmly: "You must leave here immediately and take this evidence to find the emperor's most trusted guard captain. He can guarantee your safety."

Gu Yan nodded: "We understand. Thank you, Master Li."

They quickly packed up their things and quietly left the courtyard through the back door under the guidance of the old servant. Although the night in the capital was quiet, they knew that danger was approaching secretly.

"We have to find the captain of the guards quickly." Lin Ruowei said.

Gu Yan looked around and whispered, "Be careful, there is movement ahead."

They took several detours and finally found a secluded house. The chief guard was waiting there. When he saw Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan, he immediately came over.

"Lord Li has already informed me, please follow me." The captain of the guards said in a low voice.

They followed the captain of the guards into the house and found that it was heavily guarded and obviously a safe haven. The captain of the guards settled them in a safe room and said, "Rest here for a while. I will personally escort you to the palace when daybreak."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that as long as they entered the palace, the evidence could be handed over to the emperor, and the conspiracy of the mysterious staff would be completely exposed.

Late at night, the two of them were sitting in the room, and Gu Yan suddenly laughed and said, "Ruo Wei, this time we really seemed to be acting, with many twists and turns, but luckily it ended without any danger."

Lin Ruowei also smiled: "Yes, but this kind of adventure also makes us more confident."

However, just as they were about to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door. The chief guard hurried in with a serious expression: "Oh no, a large group of men in black suddenly appeared outside, and they are obviously here to look for you!"

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other, alert in their hearts: "It seems that we have to face danger again."
