The night in the capital was quiet and bustling, but at this moment, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan's hearts were turbulent. The warning from the chief guard made them realize that the real test was still ahead.

"How could this happen?" Lin Ruowei asked in a low voice, her eyes full of confusion and vigilance.

The chief guard frowned and said, "It seems that our actions have been discovered. You must leave here immediately and don't let those men in black find you."

Gu Yan nodded: "We have to move again, but this time we must be more cautious."

They quickly packed up their things and quietly left through the back door of the house under the leadership of the chief guard. On the street outside, the men in black had already begun searching everywhere, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

"We have to go someplace they wouldn't expect," Lin Ruowei suggested.

The captain of the guards nodded: "I know a hidden place, follow me."

They followed the captain of the guards, bypassed several alleys, and came to an abandoned temple. Although the temple was desolate, it was very quiet and obviously a good place to hide.

"It's safe here for the time being. You can rest here first. I will send someone to continue monitoring the movements of the men in black." said the captain of the guards.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan nodded, feeling a little relieved. Although the temple was simple, it gave them a moment of peace. They sat in the main hall, listening to the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves outside, and their moods calmed down a little.

"Gu Yan, how many chances do you think we have left?" Lin Ruowei asked in a low voice.

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine with me here."

Lin Ruowei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are so optimistic and cute."

Gu Yan shrugged: "Life always needs a little optimism, doesn't it?"

Just as they were about to take a break, they suddenly heard a whisper coming from outside the temple. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan immediately became alert and hid in the shadow of the hall.

"Are you sure they're here?" a deep voice asked.

"Yes, our people saw them coming in," another voice replied.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other and knew that the men in black had found their hiding place.

"We have to find a way to leave here." Lin Ruowei said in a low voice.

Gu Yan nodded: "Go through the back door, be careful."

They quietly slipped out of the back door of the main hall, avoiding the sight of the men in black, and quickly passed through the backyard of the temple. It was dark outside, and they walked in the darkness, trying not to make any noise.

"There is a path over there, we can leave from there." Gu Yan pointed ahead.

They quickened their pace and finally left the temple smoothly, but they knew that the danger was not far away and they had to find a new hiding place as soon as possible.

"We need a safer place." Lin Ruowei said.

Gu Yan nodded: "I know there is an abandoned post station outside the city, it should be safe there."

They quickly headed out of the city, and after a tense run, they finally arrived at the abandoned post station. Although the post station was dilapidated, it was surrounded by deserted people and was an ideal hiding place.

"It's safe for now." Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ruowei nodded: "But we can't take it lightly, we have to continue to find a way to send the evidence to the emperor."

They decided to rest temporarily at the post station and wait for news from the captain of the guards. In the dead of night, Lin Ruowei leaned against the wall, looking at the starry sky, and prayed silently in her heart.

“I hope we can successfully uncover the conspiracy of the mysterious staff and save our family and the village,” she thought to herself.

However, just as she was thinking, Gu Yan suddenly pulled her sleeve: "Look, there is light over there."

Lin Ruowei turned around and saw a faint light outside the post station. Her heart tightened, knowing that a new crisis might be coming.

"Prepare for battle, we can't be caught by them." Lin Ruowei said in a low voice.
