313 Psychological Effect

Pang Shuo did not know if he should speak or not. Facing the gazes of the three of them, he did not dare to delay any longer. “President Shan, everyone in Pang Village should know what you’re talking about. It’s said that someone died in the house there and was infected with an evil aura. It will curse everyone who approaches it. At first, no one believed it. Later, a few young people went to stay for the first night. When they returned the next day, they were paralyzed and seriously ill.”

“Does everyone believe it just like that?” Shan Yue frowned slightly, but her words were very calm. “In this society, will anyone still believe in the existence of ghosts? This is obviously a psychological effect.”

Pang Shuo pretended to be helpless and shook his head. “The villagers have no choice. Who doesn’t want to live well with their family? In the beginning, everyone was the same as you. No one believed this thing. In the end, what happened became more and more ridiculous. It was difficult for everyone not to believe it even if they didn’t want to. After all, their safety was the most important. At this point, no one went there. You’re all rich people. Your lives are definitely worth more than our cheap lives, so it’s best not to provoke those things for no reason.”

After Shan Yue heard this, she did not retort. She nodded slightly and let Pang Shuo leave the room.

After Pang Shuo left, Zhou Xuan’s cold eyes gradually darkened, and his lips and teeth parted slightly. “We’ve probably finished asking what needs to be asked. Of course, Pang Shuo’s words are only his one-sided words. We can’t tell if it’s true or false for a while. What do the two of you think about this?”

Zhang Luo placed his hands under his chin. “The biggest problem now is the amount of money. I personally transferred tens of millions of yuan for the charity project, but according to the village chief, they only received three million yuan just now. The difference between them is too big. It’s impossible for tens of millions to disappear just like that.”

Zhou Xuan looked at Shan Yue. “President Shan, what do you think?”

“I have too many questions, but the most important thing is still the problem of money. The source of the money is with Young Master Zhang, so it’s definitely impossible for him to tamper with it. Then, there are only two possibilities now. The first is that Pang Shuo lied to us just now, and the second is that there’s another mastermind in the Education Association.”

“Pang Shuo? I don’t think it’s him.” Zhang Luo slowly frowned. “I think everyone in the village has basically received his favor. Moreover, he even vacated his home for those who encountered difficulties to live in. His expression just now didn’t seem to be lying. Would such a good person do such a thing behind their backs?”

“Young Master Zhang, you’re wrong. You only saw the side that Pang Shuo wanted you to see. Perhaps it’s true that he helped every villager, and it’s also true that he helped people who were in trouble when they passed by. However, there are always some lies among the truth.”

Shan Yue looked out of the window. “But that’s just a way for Pang Shuo to win people over. If I’m not wrong, everyone in the village treats him as the last line of defense of life now. Perhaps he has the good side, but that doesn’t prevent him from having the evil side at the same time. It’s just that so far, we haven’t been a threat to him, so he hasn’t shown it yet.”

“I have the same thoughts as President Shan. Even though Pang Shuo performed very well in front of us, in his current situation, he’s still the most suspicious person in this matter.” Zhou Xuan continued, “There are too many things that make me feel that something is wrong. Firstly, no one’s home. I don’t believe the excuse of his family returning to her mother’s house. I think this explanation is very likely fabricated by Pang Shuo to stall for time.”

Shan Yue saw that Zhou Xuan had paused and quickly added, “Also, that so-called haunted house is a very unrealistic term. When I mentioned that, Pang Shuo’s expression changed very clearly. This means that he cares a lot. Also, the living standards here are very inconsistent with the environment. It gives people the feeling that it’s not a place that can coexist.”
