After saying this, a thought flashed across Xu Huan’s mind. He connected it to what Huo Xuan had said just now and asked with raised eyebrows, “Could it be that what happened this time has something to do with that incident back then? Then what exactly is that mysterious person doing? Why did he spend so much effort to send so many people from afar to attack Grandma Zhang, and why did he harm the villagers of more than ten villages?”
Huo Xuan stared at the door of Mo Zhu’s room on the second floor and said thoughtfully, “Grandma Zhang should have what that mysterious person wants, and as for the Zhang family, they probably made a deal with him.”
After a pause, Huo Xuan suddenly sat up straight. He took out his phone and gave Mo Wu a call. After the other party picked up, he instructed coldly, “Send someone to Qingyuan Village to surround the small house that Mo Zhu and Grandma Zhang used to live in. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission. If anyone breaks through the door by force, leave no one alive!”
After saying this, he arranged for Xu Huan to handle the matters in the Dark Department. Then, he stood up and went upstairs to knock on Mo Zhu’s door.
In the room, Mo Zhu was lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling in a daze. Ever since she arrived in the room, she had been tossing and turning for a long time without a hint of sleepiness. Now, she was quietly thinking about the happy times when she was still with her grandmother. As she thought about it, her nose suddenly felt sour for no reason.
She had never made her grandmother worry since she was young. No matter if it was in school or in the outside world, and ever since she left Qingyuan Village, she rarely went to the hospital to visit her grandmother. In the past, she had thought that as long as she could find the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb to cure her grandmother’s illness, they would have a long time to live together. She did not expect her death to come so quickly.
As she was thinking about these small matters, Huo Xuan suddenly knocked on the door lightly. Mo Zhu sniffed and said lightly, “Come in.”
Huo Xuan pushed the door open and entered the house. He saw Mo Zhu lying on the bed in a daze. His eyes darkened as he said worriedly, “Xiao Zhu, I’m afraid we have to hurry and go to Qingyuan Village to take a look.”
When Mo Zhu heard Huo Xuan’s words, she immediately understood the deep meaning in his words. She nodded lightly and stood up to get out of bed to get dressed.
Knowing that the two of them were going to Qingyuan Village, Mo Wu and Xu Huan quickly settled the matters that they were arranging on hand. They had already driven to the Huo residence and waited for them.
Once Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu got into the car, the four of them drove with the guide of the navigation system and rushed to Qingyuan Village. They were afraid that something unexpected would happen in the village, so Huo Xuan sat beside Mo Zhu and kept making calls, sending more people to aid them.
Mo Zhu quietly leaned against the back of the chair in the back seat, her arm gently resting on the armrest of the chair. A few minutes later, she seemed to have recalled something and took out her phone from her coat pocket to make a call.
The person on the other end of the phone quickly pressed the answer button. A mature woman’s voice came from the receiver. “K, what’s wrong?”
Mo Zhu rubbed her palms lightly and asked with a smile, “Where are you?”
Hearing the faint panting sound from the phone, the woman calmed her breathing a little and said, “I’ve already found that small house according to the location and picture you sent me. According to my observation, there should be more than three groups of people hiding in the dark around the area. When I came, I had already avoided them. Should I help you solve these problems before they discover me?”
The person who spoke was Poppy. Once Grandma Zhang passed away, Mo Zhu had already considered that those people would definitely not give up and shift their target to Qingyuan Village. Therefore, that night, she called Poppy and asked her to take a detour to Qingyuan Village to guard the house for her when she arrived back in Cloud City.
However, the small village of Qingyuan Village was too remote.. In order to avoid the gazes of these people hiding in the dark, Poppy had to take the lesser taken paths and it took her three days to reach here.
