309 The Secret of Pang Village
However, Shan Yue, who was in the car, could not get an answer even if she racked her brains.
After some thought, Shan Yue decided to find an opportunity to take a look personally when she arrived. She firmly believed that there must be some unspeakable secrets hidden in this haunted house.
Just as Shan Yue was about to finish reading the information in her hand, Zhang Luo, who was beside her, slowly turned around. “Miss Shan, after reading it, quickly rest for a while. From the looks of it, we will probably not be able to rest well tonight.”
Faced with Zhang Luo’s kindness, Shan Yue nodded and closed her eyes to conserve her energy. The car entered a calm atmosphere.
Looking out of the window, the lush trees on both sides of the road flashed back quickly. The car also came from the wide avenue to the muddy country road. The completely dark sky made the car slow down too.
The bumpy journey made the few people in the car no longer sleepy. Seeing this, He Sheng turned on the lights in the car. “Everyone, we’ve already entered the range of Pang Village. It won’t be long before we reach the village entrance. Everyone, be prepared to get off.”
Zhang Luo covered the drowsiness on his face and looked around. “Why isn’t there even a street lamp on the way to the village entrance with so much money transferred every year? No one knows if you fall into a ditch at night. No matter what, you should at least ensure basic living equipment.”
Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows without batting an eyelid, and his thin lips parted slightly. “It’s precisely because of this that it shows that there’s definitely something wrong with this village. At the very least, there must be something wrong with the Education Association. They think that by relying on unrealistic publicity, they can get away with it, and no one will investigate. They’re thinking too simply.”
In the midst of a simple conversation, the car suddenly stopped. He Sheng consciously got out of the car with a few bodyguards to check on the situation. Under the light of the headlights, he saw that the villagers guarding the entrance of Pang Village had stopped the car.
They were still holding their clubs and looking cautious.
He Sheng took the initiative to befriend him and said with a smile, “Hello, Uncle. We’re from the Zhou Corporation. In the car are our bosses, Zhou Xuan, the chairman of the Shan Corporation, Shan Yue, and the representative of the Capital University, Zhang Luo. In a few days, it will be the day we allocate education funds to Pang Village every year. Our bosses didn’t inform you in advance and discussed at the last minute to see the change in our village in the past few years.”
The villager’s face clearly revealed a flustered expression. His eyes were filled with guilt and he kept avoiding He Sheng’s eyes. He Sheng noticed this immediately.
“Zhou Corporation? Isn’t that…”
“You’re right. The Zhou, Shan, Dong Corporations, and Capital University are in charge of the education funds in Pang Village this year.” He Sheng looked friendly on the surface, but he was actually observing the other party’s every move. “Our bosses just want to see the actual situation on the ground. If anyone needs anything else, we’ll plan the exact amount of funds when we get back.”
It was unknown if he panicked because he had never seen a big shot panic or if he had a guilty conscience, but the villager forced out a few smiles and looked awkward. “In that case, please wait at the door for a moment. I’ll inform the village chief and ask him to bring people out to welcome you.”
At this point, Zhou Xuan rolled down the window and stuck his head out to wave at He Sheng.
He Sheng immediately understood what the boss meant. Then, he gave the bodyguards behind him a look. The four burly men walked forward. Two of them held the villagers on the left and right, while the other two moved the obstacles away.
He Sheng chuckled and said, “You’re already old and your legs aren’t nimble. It’s not easy to watch here at night, so I won’t trouble you to make another trip back and forth. If anything happens, no one can bear the responsibility. We can go in and look for Village Chief Pang Shuo ourselves.”
With that, He Sheng waved a hand and the three cars behind him entered Pang Village. After the cars were far away, they let go of the villagers and quickly followed.
The few street lamps in the village emitted weak light. Although it was not as dark as the village entrance, it still gave off a terrifying atmosphere.
