Wen Xi said, "Since your wish has been fulfilled and your resentment has subsided a lot, why don't you want to follow the ghost messenger to the underworld?"

Pang Lanqiu looked up at her in surprise and said hesitantly, "Your Excellency is truly amazing. You've seen through my little thoughts. Yes, I really don't want to go to the underworld yet, but it's not because I selfishly want to stay here. It's just that there are two things in my heart that I can't completely let go of."

Xiao Shaoyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it because of your son? Then you can rest assured. I can help you find a reliable person to adopt the child, or find a reliable welfare home. It depends on your opinion."

Pang Lanqiu said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness. One of the things about this is that I'm really worried about my son. There's no need to bother you. In fact... I really want to go back and see my parents. I don't know how much of a blow my disappearance must have been to them. Fortunately, I have a younger brother at home, and I think they might still have some thoughts. But I still want to go home. After all, this place is just a cage for me. I want to... go home!"

Want to go home!

What light yet heavy words.

"good!"

Wen Xi said, "Be a good person to the end. Tomorrow I will find someone to salvage your body and bring you back to your hometown, to your parents."

Pang Lanqiu burst into tears, "Thank you so much, I really can't repay you for your kindness."

When daybreak came, the news of the death of Wang Kai and Wang Qiao, father and son, spread. Before the villagers could panic, Village Chief Wang Shi spread the news about Pang Lanqiu. Public opinion in Yantu Village suddenly changed, and everyone was cursing the father and son for dying as they could have done such a cruel thing.

The only two people left were either crazy or mad, and there was no one to help with their funeral arrangements.

Only after Wen Chenxi contacted the people from the Special Management Bureau did they take their bodies away.

Wen Xi asked the village chief Wang Shi to find reliable people to salvage the body from the river. It took half a day to find the swollen body of Pang Lanqiu. The villagers of Yantu Village were all watching. After seeing the body, they believed what the village chief Wang Shi said even more. They hated Wang Kai and his family, and even looked down on their children.

Xiao Shaoyan called a car and took Pang Lanqiu's body back to their hometown. After communicating with the village chief Wang Shi, they took Wang Fan away as well.

When they knocked on the heavy door and saw Pang Lanqiu's white-haired parents, Wen Chenxi and Xiao Shaoyan felt mixed emotions. Soon after, Pang Lanqiu's only brother also rushed back from work.

Seeing Pang Lanqiu's swollen, unrecognizable body, they hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

"My daughter, how could you have suffered such an ordeal? Mom and Dad have never given up looking for you, but the clues we found always fell into oblivion. My precious, I would rather not find you than see you end up like this."

Pang Lanqiu's parents cried so hard that they almost fainted. Their sincere expression of feelings made everyone feel sorry for them.

Pang Lanqiu's soul was floating above the corpse. Seeing his elderly parents crying like that, he couldn't help but shed tears of blood.

The younger brother of the Pang family cried and said, "Sister, I miss you so much. Why did you leave us forever like this? How could you bear to..."

To give the family some time to calm down, Wen Xi and the others stayed in the town. After they had set up the mourning hall and paid their respects, they pushed Wang Fan in front of them.

Father Pang looked at Wang Fan, who was looking at them timidly, with complicated eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "This child... was never what Lan Qiu wanted. It's clearly a sin!"

After learning the truth of the matter, their whole family hated the Wang family deeply. They wanted to sue and report Wang Tie and Shen Yu, who were still alive, and they also felt a little repulsed by Wang Fan.

The younger brother of the Pang family snorted coldly, "A child who was forced here deserves to be orphaned...!"

Only Pang's mother said with tears in her eyes, "Don't say that, the child is innocent. And I see that this child's features are exactly like your sister's when she was a child."

Mother Pang squatted down and stroked Wang Fan's cheek. The pain was about to overwhelm her. At this moment, a warm little hand stroked her cheek. Mother Pang looked up and met Wang Fan's timid but trying-to-please smile. She finally couldn't help crying out loud and hugged him in her arms.

Wen Xi took advantage of the situation and said, "Although Pang Lanqiu hates the Wang brothers, she carried the child for ten months and gave birth to him, which cost her half her life. She loves the child out of maternal instinct, without any other impurities. She also hopes that the child can grow up by your side. Because, as far as she is concerned, you have raised her and her brother to be so kind and brave, and you will definitely be able to raise Wang Fan well as well."

Pang's father and brother, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, could not help but turn their heads away silently, saying helplessly, "Whatever, it's fate. If we don't keep this child, he will have no choice but to go to an orphanage."

The younger brother of the Pang family said, "If this is really my sister's last wish, then I am willing to contribute to his education."

The whole family was filled with positive energy of merit, and they finally accepted Wang Fan, but the child's surname would be changed to Pang in the future. They wanted the child to say goodbye to the Wang family completely and from then on he would only be a child of the Pang family.

Amidst the Pang family's thanks, Wen Xi and the others prepared to leave.

After leaving the Pang family's house, Pang Lanqiu floated in front of them and bowed to them, "Thank you everyone, my wish has been completely fulfilled. I will now go to the underworld to be judged. I hope that Lanqiu can repay you in the next life."

Wen Xi said, "As long as you go to the underworld obediently, it will be considered as repaying your gratitude. Once you cross Mengpo Bridge, your past will be completely forgotten, and your next life will definitely not be so painful."

Pang Lanqiu smiled and cried, "Okay, thank you very much."

Pang Lanqiu, whose resentment had dissipated, waited for the ghost catcher to appear, and then obediently followed the ghost catcher and disappeared into the street.

Driver Xiao Shaoyan competently took them back to Changjing City and had dinner at their home. Under Wen Chenxi's disdainful gaze, he returned to his own home.

The next day, Wen Xi went to school with her schoolbag. As soon as she sat down in her seat, Chu Yanran and the others came over to gossip.

Wang Qinghe said, "Sister Wen, have you heard this gossip? It says there's a ghost in Yantu Village. The family there are scumbags. They kidnapped someone's daughter, forced her to stay, pulled out her tongue, abused her, and sold her to my cousin. She gave birth to a child, but because he didn't want to spend money on her medical treatment, he threw her into the river and killed her. This evil ghost went back to seek revenge, and the whole family died miserably. I say they deserved it!"
