315 Pang Shuo’s Exposure

Pang Shuo looked troubled and sighed. “I hope they can’t find any clues. Hopefully, they’ll go back early after staying here for a few days. We’ll mind our own business. It’s best if they never interfere again.”

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. The sun had also moved from the east to the south. The scorching sun was above their heads, and the higher and higher temperature not only increased their frustration, but also made everyone break out in sweat.

Everything was within Pang Shuo’s expectations. No matter how many villagers Shan Yue and the others asked, they could only obtain the same answer from them.

Everyone had a high opinion of Pang Shuo. They said that he was a person who served the village wholeheartedly and never wanted anything in return. No matter which family encountered difficulties, whether it was paying or working, he would be the first to lend a helping hand. This was also why he had always been loved by the villagers, and these were from the bottom of his heart.

After meeting Zhou Xuan and Zhang Luo, Shan Yue explained her findings to each other. Clearly, the three of them were very shocked by the same words. This meant that they had spent half a day investigating today and had not made any substantial breakthroughs.

“Since the three of us have the same answer, does that mean that Pang Shuo is really a good person? Our previous guess was that we wronged him.” Zhang Luo was deep in thought and looked troubled. “After all, the villagers have too high an opinion of him. If he’s really suspicious, it’s impossible for the entire village to praise him like this.”

What Zhang Luo said was not unreasonable. At least so far, they could not find any evidence against Pang Shuo. Even Shan Yue began to doubt her judgment.

In the end, rationality defeated emotion. Shan Yue did not believe that Pang Shuo, who was full of flaws, could not reveal any flaws. She began to recall over and over again, firmly believing that she had definitely neglected something to cause the current passive situation.

In the end, the surging thoughts in her mind froze on a page of the haunted house. The only chance of finding a clue was that place no one dared to approach. Shan Yue felt the need to investigate.

Shan Yue did not immediately tell the other two about this idea. Ever since Pang Shuo’s wife and children returned the next day, he had used the excuse that he had sent people to protect the safety of this group of people and arranged for militia in the courtyard and at the entrance. However, it was more convenient and better to monitor them than to protect them.

Therefore, if she wanted to leave this door quietly without attracting the attention of the guards, it was obvious that Zhou Xuan and Zhang Luo could not do it. It was best for her to act alone. If she brought them along, they would become a burden.

Since they had no clue at the moment, they did not waste any more time and went to do their own things. After returning to her room, Shan Yue closed her eyes and quietly waited for the sky to turn dark.

A black shadow came to the bed in the evening. One foot reached out first, and the other foot slowly landed. She caught the window and closed it without any sound. Her actions were smooth and clean, as if nothing had happened.

Shan Yue’s sharp insight looked around at Pang Shuo’s subordinates, looking for a good cover. After a few rolls, she left the courtyard in just two minutes. According to the description in the information, she began to walk east.

It was almost dinnertime. Zhou Xuan wanted to discuss his thoughts with Shan Yue in private. When he reached her door, he knocked many times, but no one answered. This could not help but arouse Zhou Xuan’s suspicion.

He Sheng had clearly told him that everyone was in their rooms and had never come out. Where did Shan Yue go?

Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in Zhou Xuan’s heart. Could it be that Pang Shuo had kidnapped Shan Yue?

However, this thought was quickly dispelled by Zhou Xuan. The bodyguards he had brought were at the door. If Pang Shuo had done something similar, there would definitely be an intense conflict between the two sides. It was impossible for him not to know.
