"You... how dare you plot against me!"
The kidnapper's face was filled with shock, his eyes wide open as he glared angrily at the person before him. However, at that moment, he was tightly bound and unable to move even a fraction.
Just then, Liu Qingqing turned her gaze towards the sound. When she saw Su Mu, she was momentarily taken aback, as if in disbelief. But soon, she regained her composure, and a look of joy blossomed on her face as she exclaimed, "Doctor Su! How did you end up here?"
Su Mu had no time to explain anything to Liu Qingqing. He abruptly turned around, his gaze sharp and piercing as it landed on the current wife of the Liu Family Head. His voice was cold and stern as he demanded, "Speak! Why did you kidnap Qingqing?"
The woman appeared pale as a sheet, devoid of any color. Her eyes flickered nervously, avoiding Su Mu's fierce gaze. After a long pause, her lips trembled as she stammered, "I... I didn't kidnap her... I just... just came to redeem her..."
"Redeem her?" Su Mu let out a cold snort at her words, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "Your excuse is utterly ridiculous! Do you really think I'm as easy to deceive as a three-year-old? Anyone with eyes can see that you and this kidnapper are clearly in cahoots! Don't think you can fool me with these lies!"
At this moment, Liu Qingqing was also filled with doubt. She turned to look at her stepmother, her eyes brimming with confusion and questions. Urgently, she asked, "Mom, what is going on? You need to explain this to me!"
Seeing that the situation had been exposed, the current wife of the Liu Family Head tore off her facade and said viciously, "That's right! I ordered him to kidnap you! Who told you to get in my way? Your father's fortune will eventually be mine! If you know what's good for you, just disappear quietly and don't get in my sight!"
Liu Qingqing looked at her stepmother in disbelief, tears streaming down her face. "Mom, how could you do this to me? I've always regarded you as my real mother..."
"Real mother?" The current wife of the Liu Family Head sneered. "Don't be foolish! How could I ever consider you my daughter? You're just an obstacle in my path to the Liu Family fortune!"
Su Mu could no longer bear to watch. He shouted angrily, "You truly have a heart of a serpent and scorpion! Today, I will act on behalf of justice!"
In an instant, he moved like lightning and dashed in front of the kidnapper. With blinding speed, he snatched the gleaming dagger from the kidnapper's hand and without hesitation pressed the sharp blade against the delicate neck of the Liu Family Head's current wife.
"Speak! Who else are your accomplices?
Is the tragic death of the Liu Family Head's ex-wife connected to you in any way?" Su Mu's eyes widened with fury, emanating a chilling pressure that made the air heavy.
The current wife of the Liu Family Head was already pale with fright from the sudden turn of events, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She stammered, her voice quivering, "I... I really don't know anything... I only... I only coveted the vast wealth of the Liu Family..." However, her explanation clearly failed to convince Su Mu.
"The death of the Liu Family Head's ex-wife, could it truly have nothing to do with you?" Su Mu's gaze was piercing as he fixed his eyes on the nervous woman before him, demanding answers once more.
At this moment, the current wife of the Liu Family Head began to avert her gaze, unable to meet Su Mu's sharp stare.
Under Su Mu's relentless questioning, she fumbled for words but ultimately could not articulate a single coherent sentence.
"Speak! Do not attempt to hide the truth any longer!" Su Mu suddenly tightened his grip, the sharp edge of the dagger pressing slightly into the woman's skin, a trickle of crimson blood slowly running down the blade.
Feeling the imminent threat of death, the current wife of the Liu Family Head completely broke down.
She could no longer hold back, collapsing to the ground in tears and sobs, incoherently confessing, "It... it was me... it's all my fault... I caused the death of the Liu Family Head's ex-wife... Wuwuwu... I was just so jealous of her... jealous of everything she had... including the Liu Family Head's affection and all the wealth of the Liu Family... that's why I acted so ruthlessly... Wuwuwu... please spare me..."
Liu Qingqing was stunned into silence by her stepmother's confession. She could never have imagined that the woman she had always respected was such a cruel person.
Su Mu sheathed his dagger and sighed. "Evil begets evil; you will ultimately pay for your crimes."
He tied up the kidnapper and the current wife of the Liu Family Head, then left the cave with Liu Qingqing.
After returning to the town, Su Mu handed over the kidnapper and Master Liu's current wife to the police. The wife was sentenced to death, and the kidnappers received their due punishment.
The case of Liu Qingqing's disappearance was resolved, and the town returned to its former tranquility. After this incident, Liu Qingqing cherished her happy life even more. She felt immense gratitude towards Su Mu.
Su Mu continued to practice medicine at the clinic, using his skills and kindness to protect the peace of the town.
He understood that practicing medicine was not just about healing but also about safeguarding people's hearts and upholding justice.
As for the mysterious jade pendant and the secrets of Jingming Manor, they awaited further exploration by Su Mu…
