"Let's split up. I'll go to the accounting office over there, and you go to the study upstairs." Gu Yan suggested in a low voice.

Lin Ruowei nodded: "Okay, be careful."

The two quietly separated, and Lin Ruowei walked to the stairs and went upstairs quietly. She pushed open the door of the study and saw that it was full of books and documents. Lin Ruowei quickly searched, hoping to find useful clues.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Lin Ruowei's heart tightened and she quickly hid behind the bookcase. The door was gently pushed open, and a young maid came in, seemingly sorting things.

"Looks like I have to work overtime tonight." The maid said to herself.

Lin Ruowei held her breath, not daring to make a sound. The maid tidied up for a while and finally left the study. Lin Ruowei breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look through the documents.

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly found a secret letter. She opened it and saw that it was the correspondence between Boss Chen and the mysterious staff, which recorded their transactions and conspiracy plans in detail.

"This is really an unexpected gain." Lin Ruowei was secretly happy.

She quickly put away the secret letter and prepared to leave the study. At this moment, there was a slight noise downstairs, and it was obvious that Gu Yan was in trouble. Lin Ruowei hurried downstairs and found that Gu Yan was surrounded by several shop assistants, looking a little embarrassed.

"Sir, what are you doing here so late at night?" a clerk asked.

Gu Yan scratched his head and smiled: "Oh, I just got lost and couldn't find the exit."

Lin Ruowei hurried forward and held Gu Yan's hand: "We should go back, don't waste any more time."

The shop assistants were obviously a little suspicious, but seeing that Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked harmless, they eventually let them go.

The two quickly left the store and returned to the safe house. Lin Ruowei handed the secret letter to Gu Yan, who took a look and said in surprise: "This is such important evidence!"

Lin Ruowei smiled and said, "It seems that we are lucky. But we have to deliver this evidence to the emperor as soon as possible."

They decided to go to the captain of the guards early the next morning and ask him to help hand over these important evidences. Late at night, the two of them could finally breathe a sigh of relief and lie down to rest.

The next morning, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan went to the residence of the chief guard with the secret letter. When the chief guard saw the evidence they brought, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"You have done a good job. These evidences are enough to expose the conspiracy of the mysterious staff." said the captain of the guards.

Lin Ruowei nodded: "Please submit these evidences to the emperor as soon as possible, we can't delay any longer."

The chief guard nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter personally."

They were about to leave when suddenly a tall figure walked in. The man was dressed in brocade clothes and had a dignified face, obviously a nobleman.

"This is our family's savior!" the captain of the guards introduced, "This is the Duke of Zhenguo, he can help you."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan quickly bowed: "Greetings, Duke Zhenguo."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and waved his hand: "No need to be polite, I have heard about your story. The conspiracy of the mysterious staff must be exposed as soon as possible. Do you need my help?"

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other, knowing that the help of this noble man would greatly increase their chances of winning.

"Of course we need it. Thank you, Duke Zhenguo." Lin Ruowei said.

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded: "Okay, next I will arrange for you to meet the emperor directly and explain the whole matter in person."

Lin Ruowei was delighted, knowing that things had finally taken a turn for the better. She and Gu Yan followed the Duke of Zhenguo all the way into the palace.

In the palace, they were subjected to many inspections, but the status of the Duke of Zhenguo obviously made everything go smoothly. Finally, they were taken to the emperor's study.

"Are you ready?" asked the Duke of Zhenguo.

Lin Ruowei took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I'm ready."

The door of the study slowly opened, and they walked in and saw the majestic emperor. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan saluted respectfully and presented all the evidence.

After reading the secret letter, the emperor's face became more serious. He was silent for a moment, then he slowly said: "You have done a good job. The conspiracy of the mysterious staff has been exposed. Next, we have to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan finally felt relieved, knowing that their efforts had finally paid off. However, they also understood that the real test was not over yet.

"Are you willing to continue to assist in the investigation and uncover more conspiracies?" asked the emperor.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan nodded without hesitation: "We do."
