Chapter 343: Wild Man Little lunatic, no brain.
Chapter 343
He sneered: "Naturally it\'s for sleeping."
Wuma Liya kicked him, making Cheng Jinyan dodge. She recklessly kicked her sprained foot towards him again. Cheng Jinyan grabbed it, then tied Wuma Liya up again, ignoring her struggles and taking her away from the bedside, tying her to a chair.
Cheng Jinyan comfortably lied down on the bed, took off his glasses and went to sleep.
The legs of the chair scraped on the floor due to her restlessness.
Cheng Jinyan didn\'t even open his eyes, he warned: "If you keep moving, I\'ll break your legs."
If she was afraid of threats like this, she wouldn\'t be Wuma Liya.
The room was dim. Wuma Liya looked at Cheng Jinyan comfortably sleeping on the bed. Her desire for revenge kept growing.
Cheng Jinyan had barely rested these past few days. He finally endured the maddening sound of the chair legs scraping. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Wuma Liya suddenly screamed.
Cheng Jinyan swiftly opened his eyes. The sudden scream made his heart stop for two seconds. When he came to his senses, he thought something was wrong with Wuma Liya. He immediately got up, but saw she looked completely normal.
"This young lady wants water," her eyes were clearly written with deliberateness.
Cheng Jinyan directly lied back down, turning his body inward.
Less than half a minute after closing his eyes again, Cheng Jinyan sat up to prevent her from screaming again when he was about to fall asleep. Cheng Jinyan got out of bed to pour her water.
He brought the water to her mouth.
"I don\'t want warm water, this young lady wants cold water," she said instead.
Cheng Jinyan wasn\'t about to indulge her. His big hand directly pinched her cheeks to force her mouth open and poured water down her throat.
Half a cup of water successfully went in, the other half spilled all over her—"Cough, cough...cough..." Wuma Liya choked from the water.
Before she could catch her breath and curse him a couple times, her cheeks were pinched again. Right after, a disposable towel was stuffed into her mouth.
"Mmph...mmph..." Wuma Liya glared at him angrily.
Cheng Jinyan lied back down on the bed. Wuma Liya had clearly decided to oppose him, repeatedly crossing his patience line.
Despite having her mouth stuffed, she could still make all kinds of noises.
She kept moaning non-stop, in addition to scraping the chair legs.
The two were like they were competing. Cheng Jinyan stubbornly lied in bed with his eyes closed for a whole hour.
In the end, Cheng Jinyan admitted defeat.
He couldn\'t endure it anymore and sat up, without a hint of drowsiness left.
He looked at the provocative and smug look in Wuma Liya\'s eyes over her victory.
He wondered where this little lunatic got so much energy from, actually tiring him out for a whole hour without getting tired herself.
Cheng Jinyan got up, thinking he should just knock her out for some peace and quiet.
It was as if Wuma Liya guessed what he was about to do. Her eyes were full of threats and warnings. She kept shifting the chair back. Her entire body resisted him. She accidentally touched her sprained foot and tears instantly fell from the pain as she sucked in a breath.
Cheng Jinyan went up to her and roughly pulled out the towel in her mouth.
He impatiently asked: "What exactly do you want?"
Seeing Wuma Liya with her face scrunched up, enduring the pain, shoulders trembling, unable to speak for half a day, Cheng Jinyan helplessly squatted down and held her swollen foot that looked like a white radish.
"...Let me go. Who allowed you to touch this young lady, you wild man!" Wuma Liya wanted to kick him again.
Cheng Jinyan laughed in anger. Looking at her he said: "Wild man? I didn\'t teach you that sentence. Do you even know what that means?"
Cheng Jinyan reached for the medicinal wine on the table. He opened it and poured some into his palm. After rubbing it in his hands, he smeared it onto her foot.
"Ow!" Pain made cold sweat come out of Wuma Liya as she painfully sucked in air.
Suspecting that he had deliberately used more force, she gritted her teeth and threatened angrily: "...Just you wait. Don\'t let me get my hands on you, or I\'ll whip you into a pile of mush!"
Cheng Jinyan said: "Little lunatic, I can turn you into mush right now." As he spoke, his malicious side appeared again. He lightly increased the pressure of his palm, directly making Wuma Liya cry from pain.
Seeing the crying Wuma Liya, Cheng Jinyan coldly sneered and mocked: "Crying already?"
Wuma Liya had tears hanging from her face. She stubbornly gritted her teeth tightly, not letting herself sob out loud, only glaring at him furiously with her eyes.
From Cheng Jinyan using force, he got back a series of revenge from Wuma Liya. Not only did he not get any sleep that night, the next day, the tied up Wuma Liya not only ordered him to feed her, she also bothered him with something every moment, continuously tormenting Cheng Jinyan through different methods.
Even stuffing her mouth with a towel didn\'t make her settle down.
"Very good. Continue keeping an eye on Wuma You\'s side. Help him obtain those venues he wants." Cheng Jinyan sat on the narrow shabby sofa, his long legs comfortably crossed.
He lazily rested one long arm on the sofa backrest, instructing his underling on the phone. Dangerous, sharp glints flashed behind his glasses.
Hearing Cheng Jinyan mention her uncle Wuma You\'s name, Wuma Liya on the chair looked at him, but didn\'t understand what he was talking about.
Cheng Jinyan hung up the phone.
Wuma Liya immediately asked: "What are you trying to do to my uncle? My uncle didn\'t continue seeking you for revenge after you killed his son. Yet you\'re voluntarily looking for my uncle again. Do you think your life is too long?"
Cheng Jinyan sneered: "Your uncle has plans to usurp power and assassinate your father, yet you still care about him."
Wuma Liya: "What do you mean?"
Cheng Jinyan lazily and slowly explained to her while texting Qin Hanyue to ask about Qiao Ying\'s condition the past two days: "Do you think a family that\'s not even considered lowly commoners, destitute paupers, would know about me and contact me? I don\'t have a law firm here. And I\'m not self-confident enough for my reputation to have spread across the globe. My law firm\'s landline number isn\'t some small ad in public restroom stalls that can be posted everywhere."
Wuma Liya: "So what does this have to do with my uncle?"
Cheng Jinyan: "Your bastard older brother was schemed by your uncle. Your uncle has been controlling everything from behind the scenes—" It was your uncle who sent people to blow my contact details into that victimized family of three\'s ears. And it was also your uncle who secretly helped them contact me."
From the moment Cheng Jinyan took this case, he realized something was off. Not just him, even the employees at his law firm were puzzled: "How did they, living thousands of miles away, find our law firm? And they specifically named you, Lawyer Cheng, saying the other party was powerful and influential and that only Lawyer Cheng could handle this."
Knowing something strange was going on, Cheng Jinyan still came.
He didn\'t come to take on some lawsuit, but to settle grievances with the Wuma Family once and for all, so he could have some peace and quiet in the future.
Wuma Liya: "Since my uncle brought you here, why hasn\'t he shown himself to kill you?"
Cheng Jinyan scolded: "Silly girl with no brain. I already said your uncle wants your father\'s life."
