Zhang Fen sighed lightly and held Mo Zhu’s hand. “Xiao Zhu, as long as you live a good life happily, I will be relieved. As for other things, I don’t know what’s best for you.”

After a pause, Zhang Fen frowned and thought for a while. “After I die, go to our house in Qingyuan Village and get something as soon as possible. There’s a secret compartment under the second tile below my small wooden bed. There’s a jade-faced Guan Yin inside. Remember to keep it well and don’t let it fall into the hands of those people!”

Just as she finished speaking, Zhang Fen suddenly coughed violently. Her movements were so big that the wound on her chest began to bleed uncontrollably again. She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her breathing instantly became hurried.

Seeing this, Mo Zhu quickly took off the silver needles from Zhang Fen’s body and prepared to give her acupuncture treatment. However, before she could let go of Zhang Fen’s hand, she was grabbed by her grandmother even more tightly.

Zhang Fen panted heavily and spat out another mouthful of blood. She held Mo Zhu’s hand tightly and emphasized, “Xiao Zhu, you have to listen to me. I understand that you’re worried about me and your father. In the secret compartment under my bed, there’s… there’s a stack of information. I know, I know you… I’ve always had your own ideas since you were young. I can’t stop you, but… you have to walk the rest of the way yourself…”

Just as she finished speaking, Zhang Fen’s hand slid down from Mo Zhu’s palm weakly.

Mo Zhu stood rooted to the ground in a daze and looked at her grandmother’s face for a long time. After a long while, she found the cabinet in the ward and took out a fresh sheet to cover Zhang Fen.

After taking one last look at her grandmother, Mo Zhu reached out and gently closed the old woman’s slightly open eyes. The pure white bedsheet covered Zhang Fen’s body. The corners of Mo Zhu’s mouth twitched as she muttered softly, “You’ve persisted for more than 40 years. In your current state now, I guess you’re freed too.”

After pausing for a few seconds, Mo Zhu seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at the corpses on the ground coldly and her voice was suddenly filled with deep hatred. “Don’t worry, they made you die so miserably. I will definitely make them pay the price!”

After saying this, Mo Zhu did not stay any longer. She walked straight to the door of the ward and pushed it open forcefully.

Huo Xuan, who had been guarding the door, turned his head when he heard the noise. His gaze passed Mo Zhu and he saw the white bedsheets on the bed. His pupils constricted suddenly.

He understood that Zhang Fen’s death was a huge blow to Mo Zhu, but he did not know how to comfort the girl.

Mo Zhu walked out of the ward as if nothing had happened. When she saw Huo Xuan and Xu Huan standing there in a daze without moving, she took a step forward and arrived in front of Xu Huan. She said indifferently, “My grandmother has passed away. Please help her prepare for her funeral. She wasn’t a spendthrift when she was alive. A simple funeral will do.”

Xu Huan looked at Mo Zhu’s expressionless face and wanted to comfort her. He thought for a long time and did not know how to say it. After a while, he scratched his head in frustration and agreed blankly. “Alright, leave this to me.”

Mo Zhu nodded when she heard this. She raised her hand and zipped up her coat to her collar. She turned to look at Huo Xuan and smiled. “Young Master Huo, would you let me borrow the Huo family’s name?”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Huo Xuan frowned slightly and paused for a moment. He understood what the girl wanted to do. He raised his eyes, looked back at Mo Zhu, and said softly, “Do whatever you want. As long as you aren’t injured, I’ll deal with the rest!”

Mo Zhu smiled lightly. “Okay.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu walked straight past Xu Huan and went downstairs. Huo Xuan stood rooted to the ground and watched her back. After the girl’s figure disappeared from his sight, he turned to Xu Huan and instructed, “I’m a little worried about Xiao Zhu.. Follow her and take a look. No matter what happens, her safety is the most important!”
