Chapter 142: Strike
When Yin Ruchen treated King Jingyin for the third time, darts were also thrown into the room, but the situation was different. Not only was the number of darts thrown into the room different, but Yin Ruchen's state at the time was also different from the time at Feng Jinlei's house. Although Yin Ruchen did not expect that someone would come to a place like the palace to plot against King Jingyin, she was very alert at the time. Since she had just been assassinated the night before, she knew that someone in the palace wanted to kill her, so she couldn't help but pay attention to the situation around her. In addition, the dart hit King Jingyin just when she was about to get up and walk to the door. At this time, her attention was not focused on a certain place, so it was easier for her to notice the sudden appearance of the dart, so this time she successfully prevented King Jingyin from being hit by the dart and saved King Jingyin's life.
When Ding Datian was narrating to Meng Lian about his work in Zigui Village, Feng Shizhuo, who had been pulled aside before, suddenly cried out after he finished saying, "He sent me to Zigui Village to assassinate a man named Feng Jinlei and tried every means to frame Miss Yin." It seemed that every word of Ding Datian's narration hit him hard. Because he suffered such a great blow, Feng Shizhuo had stopped crying when Ding Datian finished speaking. Feng Shizhuo was extremely sad and disappointed after learning the truth. He did not expect that the first person who helped him after his father was killed was the murderer who killed his father himself. After Feng Jinlei passed away, Feng Shizhuo was once again without his relatives around him. Just when he was heartbroken, Ding Datian brought him timely comfort. He had patiently coaxed him, given him food, and even took off his coat and wrapped it around him when the cold wind blew. Feng Shizhuo had always had a strange temper, and generally had a bad attitude towards people other than Feng Jinlei. But when he met Ding Datian, it was when he was most helpless, and he did not lose his temper like before. When people are most helpless, they may have two completely opposite abnormal conditions: some people will suddenly become completely unwilling to trust others, reject all comfort and assistance from others, and let themselves live alone in an indestructible hard shell; some people will suddenly trust others without any defense, completely accept the comfort of others and immerse themselves in this care. Feng Shizhuo belongs to the latter. He is a child, and no one would deliberately harm him when he lived in Zigui Village. When he was most helpless, he easily accepted Ding Datian's care. He affectionately called Ding Datian "uncle", and even consciously or unconsciously regarded him as a safe harbor. This "uncle" who had cared for him when he was most helpless could still be his harbor when he appeared in front of him last time. This time, with the truth coming out, he has become his father's murderer and his mortal enemy. He had believed and even relied on the murderer who ended his loved one's life without knowing it! At this time, Feng Shizhuo squatted down in a daze, no longer crying, just squatting there blankly, silently shedding tears. The guards around him felt so pitiful at this time, so they leaned down and kept whispering to comfort him, but he seemed to have heard nothing at all, and continued to squat there, crying and not saying a word.
