Based on this article: 1.https://www.tofugu.com/japanese-grammar/particle-no-
noun-modifier/ 2.https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/na-adjectives-no-adjectives/

The particle の is used as a label marker. Like for example
犬(dog)+の(particle)+おもちゃ(toys). The function of の here is to label the dog so
that we know that the toys stated here is specifically referring toys for
dogs. In the second article also explained that の can be used to modify a noun
using another noun like for example きれい(beauty in noun
form)+の(particle)+ヒント(hints) which implies that the hints are about beauty

All of the example I found is something like noun + particle の + noun. However
in the first speech bubble in the pic it is 悪知恵(noun) + の(particle) + 働く(verb
in plain form) and I wasn't able to find any article about this. The closest
thing that I can found is when の is used in relative clause but I don't think
the this is the case for the 悪知恵の働く. So I was wondering if the の can be
followed by a verb like in the pic.
