Chapter 514: Chapter 16 Seeking Wealth and Honor amidst Danger

If it were an ordinary person, in such circumstances, they would inevitably fall into a state of complete despair and helplessness.

However, An Xiunian’s mental resilience can be said to be far stronger than that of an ordinary person.

She knew that her current situation was very bad and dangerous.

But, facing danger also meant facing a great opportunity.

An Xiunian clenched her fists and began to integrate all the information she had acquired.

Yan Xin was the real person in charge of Lanxin Group, and Yan Shixiong and Lin Rui might not even be her real parents, but just servants at her command. Their willing subservience in front of Yan Xin was enough to show how terrifying Yan Xin truly was.

Then came a most pressing question.

What was Yan Xin’s goal?

The plan she was carrying out, the goal she wanted to achieve, what exactly was it?

An Xiunian’s head tilted back slightly as she raised her hand to her chin and murmured to herself, "No matter what the ultimate goal of everything Yan Xin has done is, at least it can be certain that it isn’t just for her own personal benefit. The people around her are very concerned about the plan she is executing."

An Xiunian had been observant from a young age and understood human nature better than most.

When everyone is concerned about something, it suggests that it aligns with everyone’s interests.

Of course, it would definitely be greatly beneficial to Yan Xin herself.

Whatever that was...

An Xiunian wondered if she could... take her place?

Given her personality, if she had the choice, she would rather not get involved in this vortex. But under the current circumstances, she had no choice. Whether she liked it or not, she had to be involved now.

Now, these people all treated her as their master, they were wealthy and powerful, possessing vast social influence. And she could seize this power in her hands, making it her bargaining chip.

"First is to play the part of Yan Xin, then, figure out how to solve the problem of the Malevolent Ghost invasion they talked about," she said.

Yan Xin had boarded the bus with the aim of finding that old lady. And at the time, she had witnessed the old lady charging toward the driver, causing the accident. However, the news confirmed that no surveillance had captured the old lady. Even if the bus’s surveillance was destroyed, there were also street cameras, and it didn’t make sense that they hadn’t captured the scene.

"Yan Xin dared to show up, plus those few people’s previous confidence in Yan Xin, which sufficiently indicates a most critical matter, that Yan Xin is a human being with the ability to confront ghosts. But from their conversation, it seems that without Yan Xin, they are not completely helpless," An Xiunian reasoned.

As resources at her disposal, they could be used to confront a possible Malevolent Ghost invasion, or perhaps she could use them to achieve the original goals of Yan Xin.

What was beneficial to Yan Xin would likely be beneficial to her... at least it seemed a very high possibility at the moment.

The villa had so many surveillance trackers installed, which now seemed to be for monitoring these so-called ghosts.

"Can surveillance cameras capture ghosts?" she pondered.

For now, all she knew was that distorted images had appeared on the east side surveillance. Did this mean that a ghost’s presence had caused it?

"Surveillance and ghosts... If a ghost has already appeared on the east side..."

She recalled what Lin Rui had originally said.

She mentioned she had arranged for someone to "observe" there.

To observe, just the east side of the area.

It meant that even if there was a ghostly invasion, the so-called invasion was obviously very inefficient, even to the point where it was possible to slowly observe it.

This was clearly different from the omnipotent notion of ghosts as portrayed in horror films.

"That’s right, horror movies are all imaginative fiction, how could ghosts in reality be so terrifying? The total number of deceased on Earth far exceeds that of the living, and even if only one in a thousand, one in ten thousand of the deceased became ghosts, that would still be enough to form an overwhelming numerical advantage over humanity. If all ghosts were so powerful, mankind would have long been wiped out by them," she thought.

With this thought, An Xiunian’s tense emotions eased considerably.

The Malevolent Ghost, after all, was likely just a type of spirit body, or perhaps, a kind of electromagnetic field, a sort of medium? Without a physical body, it would be difficult to move autonomously... right?

But soon, An Xiunian began shaking her head again.

No!

She can’t relax and be at ease so quickly.

An Xiunian’s muttering became even quieter, "You can’t draw conclusions so readily; this kind of blind optimism won’t do. It’s impossible to reference horror movies to know what a Malevolent Ghost really is, nor rely on my optimistic assumptions. We must have sufficient intel."

Intel!

But how could she obtain this intel?

Yan Xin’s phone was damaged, and there were no readable records left on her computer, and there were no relevant notes or books in the bedroom. And she couldn’t ask any of the people who knew what a Malevolent Ghost was.

Because Yan Xin must understand what "Malevolent Ghost" was.

So, there was only one method. To draw out from her conversations with Yan Shixiong and others what exactly the concept of Malevolent Ghost was.

"Apart from that, it’s about finding a way to chat with them about Yan Xin’s plan... No, let’s not go there for now. Talking about that might involve too much Shin Xin-specific knowledge that I’m not privy to, which could easily give me away. Other matters could be dealt with in time, but the Malevolent Ghost invasion, pertaining to personal safety and wealth, must be dealt with as a priority."

As for the "hospital" people...

They were also unreliable at the moment.

...

Gao Heyann arrived in front of Rui Long Bus Company.

This matter, in fact, had little to do with her. Yet, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat responsible. Even though she had prior knowledge that something was going to happen, she ultimately couldn’t prevent the tragedy.

Not to mention the many people who died, even the fate of their souls was uncertain.

Gao Heyann also knew that her sense of morality was too strong, to the point of appearing like she had a savior complex, but she just couldn’t let it go.

So, she wanted to come to the bus company to take a look and investigate, to see if she could provide some information to the Evil Ghost Department.

This time, since many had died, the relatives of the deceased banded together to hire a lawyer, and then they sued the bus company.

For the bus company, the police were still investigating the cause of the accident, the insurance company was awaiting the police’s investigation to defer payments of the compensation, and the relatives of the deceased were blocking the company’s entrance from time to time with banners, aiming to receive a higher compensation. After all, there was no guarantee they would get the amount they wanted if the case actually went to court.

There, Gao Heyann might come into contact with the relatives of the deceased and possibly obtain some key intel.
