308 Creating Trouble in the Dark
Shan Yue smiled helplessly. “It’s fine, Yu Xin. I really don’t have time this time. During the holidays, I’m going to visit the mountain school on behalf of the Shan Corporation. The learning environment there is not like ours. The mountain school has everything we want. I’ll go with a few partners to continue the charity project there and see if there’s anything that can help everyone.”
Hearing this, Tang Hui quickly closed her mouth. Although she hated Shan Yue, she still chose to remain silent after knowing that Shan Yue was trying to help the poor students in the mountains.
Tang Hui only hated Shan Yue, but she was very kind-hearted and often helped the vulnerable.
The next afternoon, Zhou Xuan’s car stopped at the school gate on time. The other students were on vacation and going home, but not only did Shan Yue and Zhang Luo not have a vacation, but they also had to rush to the mountains.
The long distance and remote location indicated that the journey would not be easy.
After putting down their luggage, the two of them got into the car in the middle. Just in case, Zhou Xuan brought two cars of bodyguards to ensure everyone’s safety.
As soon as they got into the car, Zhou Xuan and He Sheng were already waiting in the car. Then, everyone rested for a moment. After the car left the Federal City District, He Sheng took out a stack of relevant information from behind.
“President Shan, Young Master Zhang, I’m here to give everyone a simple introduction to the information we found on this matter. The place we’re going to today is Pang Village. We can probably arrive at night. As Pang Village is the village where the Education Association is located, the village chief, Pang Shuo, is also the president of the Education Association. And President Zhou thinks that since we’ve decided to investigate, we should start from the source. The other places haven’t been improved. There must be a problem with the place in charge of distribution.”
Shan Yue quickly captured useful information from it. “In other words, this President Pang Shuo is in charge of receiving this money. Since the publicity they released is fake, it proves that there must be someone behind this, and it’s someone with power. Needless to say, this Pang Shuo must be the first suspect. All the spearheads are directed at him.”
Zhou Xuan frowned coldly. “So when we arrive, we’ll go straight to Pang Shuo’s house and see if we can find any useful clues. The empty house in his house should be barely enough for us to squeeze through the night.”
Then, Zhou Xuan gave He Sheng a look. He Sheng immediately understood and distributed the remaining information to Shan Yue and Zhang Luo. “If the two of you have any other questions, you can look at the information again. If there’s nothing else, it’s better for everyone to continue resting in the car. I’ll call everyone when we arrive. After all, we still have something to do tonight. Even if we have time, we shouldn’t be able to rest well.”
After saying that, He Sheng stopped talking. Shan Yue really found some clues in the information.
First of all, as the village chief, Pang Shuo had received good reviews in the village. It had even reached the point where everyone supported and loved him. No matter which family encountered difficulties, Pang Shuo would take the initiative to extend a helping hand and give money and help, establishing a very friendly image.
Although this was originally a good thing, the village was a poor mountain village to begin with, so its economy would definitely not be rich. If Pang Shuo occasionally took out his money to help the villagers, it indeed meant that he was a responsible village chief. However, how did he rely on his own strength to help every family in the village for several years? As the village chief, no matter how rich he was, he could not reach this level.
Moreover, according to the locals, there was an old mansion that had been abandoned for many years in the easternmost part of the village. The reason why it was abandoned was because there were rumors in the village that the house was haunted. Anyone who approached it would be infected with bad luck. Some people who did not believe in the supernatural returned from there and became sick. From then on, no one, be it adults or children, dared to approach it.
Shan Yue still understood the logic of man-made things. She had long entered the era of technological development. How could there be demons and ghosts?
Therefore, it was impossible for her to believe that it was haunted. As for the symptoms of the people who came back, they were either coincidences or someone was secretly causing trouble.
