After fleeing the eerie and terrifying Jingming Manor like a startled bird, Su Mu did not rush back to the city.
He was acutely aware, like a clear mirror, that Shangguan Yun was no ordinary adversary. It wouldn’t be long before he realized he had been deceived and would undoubtedly send out a large number of people to pursue him relentlessly.
Thus, the immediate priority was to find a completely safe hiding place. Once the situation calmed down, he could then carefully plan his next course of action.
Su Mu forced himself to calm down, repeatedly recalling the paths and terrain he had traversed in the past.
Finally, heaven did not disappoint those who are earnest. After a painstaking search, he successfully found a very concealed cave based on his memories.
This cave was located deep in a valley, surrounded by thick and lush vines that made it difficult for anyone to discover unless they were deliberately searching for it.
Su Mu cautiously pushed aside the layers of vines and crouched as he entered the cave.
Inside was pitch black and silent, with only the occasional sound of dripping water echoing in his ears, sending chills down his spine.
However, at this moment, Su Mu could not afford to be overly concerned. He quickly took out a fire starter from his pocket and lit the torch he had brought with him.
As the bright flames illuminated the cave, the previously dark and deep space instantly became bright.
With the torchlight, Su Mu began to examine the ledger in his hands closely.
The ledger was densely filled with details of various transactions that had taken place at Jingming Manor over the years. It meticulously recorded every aspect of the transactions, including specific times, locations, involved parties, as well as types and quantities of goods without missing any detail.
Among the numerous transactions, those involving the Ghostly Herb stood out particularly.
Not only were these transactions alarmingly frequent, but each time also involved a considerable volume.
Moreover, the ledger surprisingly listed several officials' names. It appeared that these officials were likely colluding with Jingming Manor, secretly engaging in unspeakable activities to reap enormous personal profits.
Su Mu committed the contents of the ledger to memory before setting it ablaze to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
He knew that this ledger was the key evidence to bring down Jingming Manor, and he had to ensure it reached the police safely.
As dawn broke, the sky gradually brightened. Su Mu carefully dressed himself, skillfully altering his original appearance.
He wore a simple gray robe, a wide-brimmed hat, and a black veil that covered his face, leaving only his sharp and deep-set eyes visible.
In this manner, he slipped into the city like a ghost.
Upon entering the city, Su Mu first arrived at the police station.
He glanced around to confirm there were no suspicious individuals nearby before quickly slipping through the station's doors.
The duty officer heightened his vigilance upon seeing this mysterious figure, but when Su Mu removed his hat and veil to reveal his identity and explain his purpose, the officers were stunned.
It turned out that the news Su Mu brought was about a major case involving Jingming Manor that had eluded the police for years!
Moreover, he not only detailed the various crimes committed by Jingming Manor but also presented concrete evidence he had painstakingly gathered.
Upon hearing this, the officer in charge of the case nearly jumped out of his chair in excitement; it was truly a stroke of luck!
They immediately summoned all available officers and rushed towards Jingming Manor at lightning speed, preparing to apprehend Shangguan Yun and other suspects in one fell swoop.
Meanwhile, after completing his report to the police, Su Mu did not stop but hurried towards the Liu Family.
When he met with the Liu Family Head, the latter sat in his study with a worried expression, deep in thought.
Su Mu took a deep breath and slowly revealed the truth of the matter.
The Liu Family Head's face turned pale as he listened, his body trembling involuntarily.
He could never have imagined that his seemingly gentle and virtuous current wife would collude with the Jingming Villa to cruelly murder his former wife!
In an instant, endless sorrow and regret surged within him like a tidal wave, nearly breaking this once-mighty figure in the business world.
However, after a brief moment of anguish, the Liu Family Head steeled himself and expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with the police in solving the case.
Drawing on his knowledge of his family's business and connections, he provided the police with numerous crucial leads. These clues were like beacons in the darkness, guiding the authorities step by step closer to the core secrets of Jingming Villa.
With the close cooperation between Su Mu and the Liu Family Head, the police operation progressed exceptionally smoothly.
Before long, they successfully breached the numerous defenses of Jingming Villa, capturing Shangguan Yun and all of his accomplices in one fell swoop.
During this operation, the police not only seized an astonishing quantity of Ghost Grass and various other illegal drugs but also thoroughly confiscated the massive illegal profits obtained by Jingming Villa through unlawful means.
Thus, this shocking case that had stunned the entire city finally came to a satisfying conclusion.
The downfall of Jingming Villa sent ripples throughout the town. The citizens praised Su Mu for his intelligence, bravery, and sense of justice. Su Mu could finally find solace for Mei Yi's spirit in heaven.
Although this struggle was fraught with danger and challenges, Su Mu ultimately triumphed over evil with his wisdom and courage, upholding justice. He understood that good must prevail over evil; as long as one persists in righteousness, all difficulties can be overcome.
