Fan Jinchang's face was distorted with pain, but he didn't dare to breathe deeply. He could only bite his back teeth and exhale slowly.
"Foster father, foster father, the imperial physician said that you must not move around and must rest well."
Ding Zhenhao watched Fan Jinchang tremble twice, and was so frightened that he quickly held his arm to comfort him.
"Godfather is in the bedroom right now, and no one will carry you out."
Ding Zhenhao looked up at the empty roof and sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, it is not raining now, otherwise he would really have to experience what it means to have misfortunes never come singly.
"....Um!?"
After hearing what Ding Zhenhao said, Fan Jinchang opened his eyelids in confusion.
What meets the eye is still the dazzling blue sky and bright sun.
Is he hallucinating because of the fever he suffered?
Fan Jinchang's mind was in a mess due to the pain, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was hallucinating.
"Godfather, you need to rest and recuperate from this injury. Once you recover, you will be as brave as before."
It's impossible to be the same as before. Only when he can't be brave enough can it be Ding Zhenhao's turn to show his prowess.
Ding Zhenhao leaned over to Fan Jinchang's ear and whispered softly to comfort him.
It was the first time he saw the burly Fan Jinchang so weak, and he felt inexplicably refreshed.
In the past, he followed Fan Jinchang like a dog. In name, he was Fan Jinchang's adopted son, but in fact, his status was even lower than that of Fan Jinchang's personal servant.
Now that Fan Jinchang has finally collapsed, even if he recovers, he won't be able to use any strength. We can only support him.
Ding Zhenhao tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that were raised, his eyes flashing with tears, and he looked at Fan Jinchang with a distressed face.
"Godfather, do you know who hurt you?"
"If he dares to do this to my adoptive father, I will tear him into pieces!!"
Ding Zhenhao gritted his teeth, clenched his left fist, and said angrily.
Fan Jinchang took several breaths before he finally got used to the pain in his heart.
He squinted at the blue sky and bright sun above his head, slowly turned his head and looked around.
Seeing this, Fan Jinchang's heavy eyelids opened instantly, and his eyeballs darted out.
"Door—window—where is this?"
Fan Jinchang endured the pain and looked around.
When he saw this, he was dumbfounded.
Is things at home so difficult now?
Let him live in a bedroom like this.
Is it because he wanted to avoid the person who assassinated him, so...
"Godfather, this is your bedroom."
Ding Zhenhao followed Fan Jinchang's gaze and glanced around, then sighed heavily.
"Godfather, I shouldn't be telling you this at this time."
"But now that you've seen it, I'm afraid you'll start imagining things if I don't tell you."
"But if I tell you, I'm afraid you'll be anxious..."
Fan Jinchang's temples were throbbing with anxiety as he listened to Ding Zhenhao's words.
"explain!!!"
Fan Jinchang bit his back teeth and squeezed out the word.
If it were in the past, he would have slapped Ding Zhenhao on the head with a slap as big as a palm fan.
He just didn't understand why a grown man was so talkative.
This is also the reason why he doesn't want to reuse Ding Zhenhao. It's really annoying.
Ding Zhenhao looked at Fan Jinchang's wide-open eyes and was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
"The General's Mansion was robbed!"
"The thieves stole the entire general's mansion. Nothing was left of the entire courtyard except the four walls."
Ding Zhenhao lowered his eyes to look at the ground and quickly added,
"Also, the thieves even pried up the floor tiles and took them away. How unkind of them!"
"Godfather, I suspect it was the person who injured you who did it."
The news that the palace was robbed and there was a divine punishment had never been spread. With Ding Zhenhao's connections, if he had carefully inquired, he would have known something.
However, after Ding Zhenhao escorted the Shen family out of the capital, he hurried to the general's mansion and stayed by Fan Jinchang's side without asking anything.
".....Oh!"
The corner of Fan Jinchang's mouth twitched, and a sneer emerged from between his teeth.
"You bastard, you beast! I will never forgive you..."
“Ah…hiss…”
Fan Jinchang shouted angrily, and his face suddenly twisted in pain.
"Godfather, godfather!"
Ding Zhenhao saw Fan Jinchang's face flushed with pain, and hurriedly took out the painkiller pills from his pocket, poured out two and stuffed them into Fan Jinchang's mouth.
"Godfather, don't get excited. These are painkiller pills. Take two quickly."
Fan Jinchang swallowed two pills with trembling lips, his chest still heaving violently.
Every rise and fall of his chest felt like a thousand needles piercing his heart, which made him hate the thief even more.
Ding Zhenhao quickly comforted her.
"Don't worry, foster father. The Emperor has already ordered the commander of the imperial guards to find the person who hurt you. If they are caught, they will be torn into pieces."
He hasn't taken over his adoptive father's power yet, so he can't let Fan Jinchang be angered to death like this.
Speaking of the emperor, Fan Jinchang suddenly thought of the exiled Shen family.
"Were all the Shen family members sent into exile?"
Fan Jinchang took two breaths and asked in a trembling voice.
After all, he was a great general favored by Emperor Tianwu. It was normal for Emperor Tianwu to send people to investigate after he was assassinated.
Since there is a leader of the Imperial Guards to track down the murderer, he doesn't need to ask Ding Zhenhao to do the same.
With Ding Zhenhao's limited ability, he didn't dare to count on him.
"Yes, I left the city yesterday morning, and I didn't miss a single one."
Ding Zhenhao's eyes rolled and he smiled slyly.
"Father, you don't know that those escorting officers had bad intentions. The women from the Shen family were exiled in nothing but their underwear. They weren't even given prison uniforms."
