Under the emperor's instructions, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan set out again to investigate the mysterious staff's accomplices within the court. They knew that this mission was arduous, but they were also full of confidence.

"This time we have to go deep into the imperial court and find those accomplices who are hiding the deepest." Lin Ruowei said.

Gu Yan smiled and said, "No problem. We have been working together for so long, are we afraid that we can't handle these guys?"

They first decided to start with a high-ranking official in the imperial court. According to reliable sources, this high-ranking official had close ties with the mysterious staff. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan disguised themselves as ordinary officials and quietly approached the mansion of this high-ranking official.

"We have to be careful and not alert the enemy." Lin Ruowei reminded in a low voice.

Gu Yan nodded: "Don't worry, I'm ready."

They quietly entered the mansion and found that the senior official was having a secret conversation with several people. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan hid in the dark and listened carefully to their conversation.

"We must act quickly, otherwise the emperor will notice something," said the senior official.

"That's right, the mysterious staff's plan has entered the final stage, and there can't be any mistakes." Another person responded.

When Lin Ruowei heard this, she was secretly shocked and knew that the situation was very urgent. She took out a recording device and quietly recorded their conversation.

At this moment, a servant suddenly came in and discovered their tracks. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan quickly hid, thinking that something was wrong.

"Who's there?" the servant asked alertly.

Gu Yan's eyes rolled, and an idea came to him. He pretended to be drunk and staggered out: "Ah, I'm lost, haha, I'm drunk, so sorry."

The servant saw that he was drunk and let down his guard: "You drunkard, get out now and don't make trouble here!"

Lin Ruowei took the opportunity to slip away in another direction, and Gu Yan also pretended to stumble out of the mansion. The two quickly reunited, still feeling frightened.

"It was a close call. We were almost discovered." Gu Yan wiped his sweat.

Lin Ruowei smiled and said, "Your acting skills are really getting better and better."

They brought the recorded conversation back to the palace and reported it to the emperor. After listening to it, the emperor frowned and said, "It seems that the situation is more serious than we expected. We must take action immediately."

Lin Ruowei suggested: "Your Majesty, we can first monitor these senior officials, find out more of their accomplices, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, I will mobilize more forces, and you continue to investigate in depth."

They continued to investigate in the capital and found that the power of the mysterious staff had penetrated into all levels. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan decided to unite with the underground organization and take bolder actions.

"We can set a trap to lure those accomplices into the trap," Gu Yan suggested.

Lin Ruowei's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. We can pretend to have obtained an important secret letter and lure them out."

They quickly developed a detailed plan and cooperated with Li Daxia and members of the underground organization to prepare to implement the operation.

As night fell, the plan officially began. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan deliberately left an "important secret letter" in a secret location, and then quietly ambushed nearby.

Soon, they saw several suspicious figures quietly approaching the secret letter. Lin Ruowei was secretly happy, knowing that the plan was successful.

"We have to be careful not to be discovered by them." Gu Yan said in a low voice.

They waited quietly and saw those people pick up the secret letter and start reading it. At this moment, members of the underground organization suddenly appeared and captured those people in one fell swoop.

"Success!" Lin Ruowei said excitedly.
