The entire building was eerily quiet, shrouded in darkness, with only a single black figure moving about.
The building's security measures were adequate—surveillance cameras, locks, and security guards on duty—but none of this mattered to Qin Mu.
With his skills, evading them would be a piece of cake.
Besides, he had already scouted the location during the day. For a top-tier special forces soldier, failing to overcome such an obstacle would be a waste of his years in the military.
Without much effort, Qin Mu easily reached the top of the stairs and headed straight for the chairman's office. He wanted to see what secrets this office held.
He pushed open the chairman's office door and went inside.
Qin Mu instinctively walked towards the safe, but after getting closer and glancing at it, he hesitated.
Because the safe door wasn't locked; it was only slightly ajar.
Strange!
Very strange!
Qin Mu felt this was a trap, bait to lure him in, just waiting for him to take the bait!
After a moment's thought, he withdrew his outstretched hand and began to survey the office.
Since the safe wasn't locked and could be checked anytime, he might as well check the secret room within the office first.
After looking around, Qin Mu finally made a discovery.
He casually touched the lucky tiger on the desk, and the entire desk wall slowly slid to the side, revealing a small room inside!
Sure enough!
There really was a secret room!
This secret room was actually very simple, containing only a desk, a chair, and a cabinet behind it.
Qin Mu walked over and simply pulled on the cabinet door.
"Clatter..."
The next second, thick stacks of banknotes, like rain, rolled to Qin Mu's feet.
His eyes were met with a cabinet overflowing with banknotes.
Although such scenes are frequently seen on television, watching them on TV and experiencing them firsthand are completely different things. The shock of witnessing it in person is indescribable.
This cabinet full of money, easily worth tens of millions, is astonishing.
"So much money!"
After a brief moment of shock, Qin Mu instinctively uttered a sigh.
At this moment, only these three simple words could accurately express Qin Mu's thoughts.
After a dozen seconds of stunned silence, Qin Mu took out his phone, snapped a picture of the money, and then put it back. Now was not the time to reveal himself; he needed to continue searching.
Perhaps there were other discoveries.
Closing the cabinet door, Qin Mu focused his attention on the desk. Opening a drawer, he found a thick stack of documents.
Carefully taking them out and briefly flipping through them, Qin Mu became increasingly alarmed.
The documents found here were all government secrets: various planning documents, personnel arrangements, and even many secret personnel files from the county party committee's organization department.
At the very bottom of the documents was a small notebook, which, when opened, revealed densely packed accounting records.
These records detailed which leaders Wenyu Tourism Company had given gifts to over the past three years, the amounts given, and even the dates.
Furthermore, they even detailed how much money Yu Xuewen had withdrawn and what he had purchased.
This was a major discovery!
Qin Mu took photos of each document with his phone. With these documents in hand, dealing with Yu Xuewen would be much easier.
After collecting the documents, Qin Mu restored everything to its original state and slowly walked out.
Passing the safe outside, Qin Mu stopped.
Should he take a look?
Qin Mu was truly unwilling to give up. Having come all this way, he felt he had wasted his trip if he didn't see it clearly.
Of course, Qin Mu was more confident in his own skills. He felt that no matter what happened, he could escape from here; no one could stop him.
Plus, he had made thorough preparations and wouldn't leave any trace. Since that was the case, wouldn't it be less stressful to check what was in the safe?
Thinking this, Qin Mu no longer hesitated, walked towards the safe, and yanked open the door.
Full of documents!
Qin Mu quickly took out a document bag, glanced at it briefly, and was immediately stunned. If one could see Qin Mu's eyes at that moment, they would see the shock in his pupils, as if he found what he saw utterly unbelievable.
"How is this possible?"
"This is a blatant setup!"
"What kind of trick is Yu Xuewen playing?"
...
Qin Mu hissed in a low voice. He simply couldn't understand why the safe was filled with his own materials.
He opened only one bag, which detailed his lavish spending at Wenyu Tourism Company, including intimate encounters with unidentified women.
The second bag detailed County Head Qin Mu's alleged misconduct, such as businesses evading inspections and illegally processing permits.
The other bags contained similar materials: photoshopped images?
Fabricating facts to frame him?
Qin Mu was confused. He hadn't done any of these things, and the photos were fake. What was the point of Yu Xuewen's elaborate scheme?
It wouldn't stand up to investigation!
Could it be just to disgust him?
Besides this, Qin Mu couldn't understand Yu Xuewen's motives.
"You really came!"
The next second, a voice suddenly came from behind, startling Qin Mu. He had been so absorbed in reviewing the documents that he hadn't noticed his surroundings.
"Don't move!"
Just as he was about to turn around to see who it was, a familiar, cold touch made Qin Mu's heart tighten. He recognized the touch all too well.
It was a gun!
He didn't know why someone would be here with a gun, pressed against his head.
"Who are you?"
Qin Mu asked in a low voice, "Brother, calm down. Shooting someone will land you in jail for life. Why are you doing this?"
"You're Qin Mu, right?"
The latter didn't answer Qin Mu's question, but instead asked, "I was hired by my boss to send you on your way. Your time is up!"
"Your boss is Yu Xuewen?"
Qin Mu didn't dare delay and asked directly.
"That's not important."
The latter chuckled and said, "That's my business. Reincarnate as an ordinary person in your next life!"
"Wait!"
"How much did Yu Xuewen pay you? I'll give you double, triple, anything! I don't want to die!"
Qin Mu quickly said. At this moment, the only thing he could do was stall for time.
"No, I have professional ethics. No matter who offers the best price, it's useless!"
The man in the darkness directly rejected Qin Mu's offer.
"Bang!"
A loud sound pierced the night sky.
