When Mo Zhu heard this, her eyes stared intently at Zhang Fen in front of her. Her lips trembled as she replied, “Grandma, I can definitely save you. Believe me, I’ve already gotten the special medicine. It will definitely be sent to Cloud City in an hour!”

Zhang Fen remained quiet and waited for Mo Zhu to finish speaking before gently patting her hand. She looked at her kindly and smiled. “Girl, I’m not afraid of death. Everyone has to face this day after they are born, let alone someone like me who has been sentenced to death by the heavens in advance.”

After a pause, Zhang Fen seemed to have recalled something. Her gaze gradually moved to the window. “Xiao Zhu, the only person I’m worried about in this world is you. Listen to me. After I leave, you must not take revenge for me. No matter who this matter involves and who the forces behind it are, you have to pretend that nothing has happened. Live your life well, study well, and work hard in the future. It’s good to end some things with my death.”

Mo Zhu guessed what Zhang Fen wanted to say. She lowered her head and remained silent.

Zhang Fen patted the girl’s hand again and reminded Mo Zhu seriously, “Child, I know that you’ve been headstrong since you were young, but listen to me this time and stop investigating. Just live your life like this. I’ve already lost my life, and I don’t want you to become the target of those people for nothing.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and turned her head coldly to look at the edge of the bed. She retorted, “I’m no longer the little girl who knew nothing in the past. Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll find out about some things with my own abilities. Dodging problems blindly is never a long-term solution. You’ve endured it for more than half of your life, but what’s the result?”

After saying this, Mo Zhu’s tone gradually became agitated. “In the end, they harmed you and my father. Next, it will definitely be me!”

Hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Zhang Fen widened her eyes in shock. Her pupils constricted slightly, and she had an expression of disbelief. “Xiao Zhu, who told you all this?”

Mo Zhu let go of Zhang Fen’s hand and gently rubbed her palm before answering lightly, “No one told me that, I had eavesdropped on it eight years ago.”

After a pause, Mo Zhu continued to explain, “That day, a group of people secretly came to our house to look for you. Although I saw it, I pretended not to and hid. That’s how I heard everything.”

After Mo Zhu said this, Zhang Fen immediately ordered with a dark expression, “No matter what you heard that day, forget about them from today onwards. Don’t get involved in this matter anymore. It’s the best choice to protect yourself!”

“They took my father away and are still trying all means to kill you! How can I just ignore this and watch? I can’t do that!” Mo Zhu looked up at the old woman with an unyielding expression.

“It’s not like that. Xiao Zhu, listen to me…”

Before Zhang Fen could finish, she was interrupted by an anxious Mo Zhu. “If you don’t want to tell me the truth, I’ll investigate it myself. When I find out the truth, I won’t let any of these people who harmed you off!”

After saying this, Mo Zhu frowned and looked at Zhang Fen coldly and asked with a firm tone, “Was the Huo family also involved?”

When Zhang Fen heard this, she was afraid that Mo Zhu would vent her anger on Huo Xuan because of her. She pulled the girl’s hand and quickly explained, “Xiao Zhu, this matter really has nothing to do with Huo Xuan. Don’t be unhappy with him because of this. I’ve observed him for you. That kid is not bad. Listen to me and be with him well. Don’t make random guesses.”

Mo Zhu knew that Zhang Fen was thinking for her. She shook the old woman’s hand and smiled lightly. “I understand, Grandma.”

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Before Zhang Fen could instruct her any further, Mo Zhu frowned and asked, “So why did that group of people insist on killing you, and why did they even sacrifice so many lives for it?”
