But just as Lin Mu had stepped out of the room, the voice of senior Xukong was heard in his head.

"Didn't you want to give them the things you have taken from the mayor's office?" Xukong questioned.

Lin Mu suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this in the situation and knew that he should do this before going. He thus turned around in that second, and the people inside the room witnessed this. Hei Bao had a confused expression as he saw him suddenly return.

"Did you need anything else?" Hei Wan questioned.

"Ah, yes. I forgot to give some things to you people." Lin Mu answered.

Hei Wan tilted her head in a questioning manner, as she then saw Lin Mu withdrew multiple items from his spatial treasure and placed them on the ground and the table.

There were scrolls, registers, ledgers, documents, and some random items in it. Though a shocked expression appeared on her face when she saw the golden shining bars in Lin Mu's hand.

But that wasn't the end of it as Lin Mu kept on withdrawing one golden bar after the other until finally, a small pile of around forty gold bars was formed on the table.

~Gasp~

"This… this…" Hei Bao stuttered upon seeing the pile of gold on the table.

"Where did you get this? Wait, is this all from the town head's office?" Hei Wan questioned upon identifying some of the missing things from the office.

Lin Mu nodded in response as he spoke.

"Yes, I got all of these from the town head's office. I thought they would have clues, and it didn't seem right to trust anyone else at that time, so I just kept them with me."

Hei Wan nodded as she understood his reasoning. Until now, they were not completely sure about the identities of the culprits, thus knew that it would be best to remain cautious.

"That's fine, you did well." Hei Wan replied as she kept on looking at the items.
