The members of the underground organization successfully captured those suspicious people. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew it was just the beginning. In the deep night, they stood in a hidden corner, and had a new plan in mind.

"Next, we need to pry more information out of these people." Lin Ruowei said with a firm look in her eyes.

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes, they must know more inside information."

They quickly took these people back to the secret base of the underground organization and began to interrogate them. Li Daxia personally stepped in to force these people to reveal their identities and plans.

"Tell me, who are you and what is your relationship with the mysterious staff?" asked Hero Li coldly.

At first, those people were stubborn and refused to speak, but under the intimidation of Master Li, they finally began to confess one by one.

"We are minor officials in the court. Under the instructions of mysterious staff, we are responsible for delivering information and carrying out some secret tasks." One of them finally said.

Lin Ruowei's eyes lit up: "What is the specific mission? Who else are your accomplices?"

The man stammered, "We are responsible for monitoring some ministers who are loyal to the emperor and ensuring that their every move is under the control of the mysterious staff. In addition, there are several high-ranking officials who are also our accomplices."

Gu Yan sneered and said, "It seems that your power is really not small."

Lin Ruowei asked: "What is your specific plan?"

The man glanced at his other accomplices, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "The mysterious staff plans to launch a coup at the court meeting three days later to seize the emperor's power."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan were shocked, knowing that the matter was urgent. Gu Yan stood up and said, "We must report this news to the emperor immediately."

They quickly rushed back to the palace and told the emperor the latest intelligence. After listening, the emperor's face was solemn: "We must be very careful in this operation, and there must not be any mistakes."

Lin Ruowei suggested: "Your Majesty, we can deploy some loyal guards in advance, set up a trap at the court meeting, and catch the turtle in the jar."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, let's proceed according to your plan."

In the next three days, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan were very busy. They worked closely with the Duke of Zhenguo, Li Daxia and the emperor's attendants to carefully deploy a series of counterattack measures.

"We must ensure that every detail is foolproof." Lin Ruowei said as she sorted out the information.

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, with us here, nothing will go wrong."

Three days later, the court meeting was held as scheduled. The emperor sat majestically on the dragon throne, and the atmosphere in the court was tense, with everyone's eyes focused on what was about to happen.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan hid aside, waiting quietly. Suddenly, several senior officials stood up, raised their weapons, and tried to launch a coup.

"Now!" Lin Ruowei ordered in a low voice.

The guards who had been lying in ambush quickly attacked and captured the rebels in one fell swoop. There was chaos in the court, but it was quickly quelled.

"Your conspiracy has been exposed, so just surrender." Gu Yan said coldly.

Those high-ranking officials were taken away, looking pale, knowing that their plan had completely failed. The emperor stood up and looked at Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan with appreciation: "You did a great job and saved the safety of the court."

Lin Ruowei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "This is what we should do."

However, she knew that although the coup was successfully thwarted, the power of the mysterious staff still existed. Next, they need to continue to investigate in depth and completely eliminate all threats.

Just as they were celebrating their victory, a guard suddenly ran over and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is new news. The leader of the mysterious staff seems to have a backup plan!"

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other and became alert.
