Chu Mu watched the direction where the figures had disappeared, his expression growing noticeably more solemn.
That direction was, without a doubt, leading out of town.
In other words, they must have come from inside the town.
If they were residents, there would be no reason to be so sneaky about leaving.
This meant it was highly likely these furtive individuals had come from outside, infiltrated the town, and had already achieved their goal...
Subconsciously, Chu Mu thought of the surviving Rebels from Qili Village. The impression that youth had left on him was profound, to say the least.
After a moment of contemplation, Chu Mu decisively changed direction and headed straight for the Inspection Office.
With a trace of the thieves revealed, he couldn't just pretend he hadn't seen anything, both for official reasons and for his own sake.
Upon reaching the Inspection Office and reporting the news, Chu Mu promptly left and headed home.
