The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 240

Huo Jingyue gathered her courage and stood up from the sofa, softly asking, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Cheng Jinyan quickly responded, "We just need a doctor, Miss Huo. You can stay seated." He was afraid she would come over.

"Alright." Huo Jingyue sat back down, feeling a sense of disappointment.

"Qiao, may I ask how you usually get along with Mr. Qin? Is he the more proactive one?" Huo Jingyue sought advice from Qiao Ying, feeling helpless.

After all, Qin Hanyue was much colder and harder to get along with than Cheng Jinyan.

Qiao Ying was also not very talkative, so how did two people who spoke so little manage to have such a harmonious relationship?

One was a chairman while the other was a student. Did they have common topics? What did they usually talk about?

How did they get along? Qiao Ying instinctively recalled that there didn't seem to be any grand shared experiences between them.

She found it quite ordinary but very comfortable.

Qiao Ying remained calm and said, "He's quite proactive."

Huo Jingyue was surprised. Although it was obvious that Qin Hanyue was pursuing Qiao Ying, she didn't expect him to put in so much effort when chasing a girl. She couldn't imagine that scene.

"So, did Mr. Qin succeed?" Huo Jingyue gossiped.

"You reap what you sow," Qiao Ying replied with a double meaning.

Huo Jingyue understood, "Then it seems I have to work harder."

Cheng Jinyan confined Wuma Liya for two days and nights. Except for the time he forcefully made her drink water, she hadn't eaten anything.

Even if it meant starving or dying of thirst, she refused to eat anything Cheng Jinyan offered.

She was truly an extremely stubborn and eccentric person.

When Wuma Liya woke up again, she was bound to the bed.

A needle was attached to the back of her hand, and she was receiving nutrition through it.

"What, do you want to starve or die of thirst? You're so young, yet you treat life so lightly. Have you seen too many dead people?" Cheng Jinyan disregarded Wuma Liya, who was by the bedside.

"Considering that you're still a young girl, if you beg me a few times, I might consider letting you go," he said.

Wuma Liya still didn't react.

"You said your father loves you the most? Aren't you afraid of hurting your father's heart by dying? " Cheng Jinyan suddenly provoked her.

"Don't mention my father!" Wuma Liya exploded in anger.

But when facing Cheng Jinyan, who had dropped his disguise and revealed his true nature, it wasn't that easy to negotiate with him.

Cheng Jinyan chuckled softly and pulled a chair over to sit down. He casually crossed his long legs and intertwined his hands.

His tone was light, but his words were infuriating.

"I'm sorry. I just love pinpointing people's vulnerabilities, especially when it comes to enemies. Killing someone also means killing their heart."

He appeared to be a gentleman, but in reality, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Under the gaze of Wuma Liya, who had intentions of murder, Cheng Jinyan casually began to expose emotional scars.

"What happened to your mother? Since you are your father's most beloved child, your father must have loved your mother as well."

"Did she die, or did she separate from your father? Or did she abandon you and your father?"

Wuma Liya: "Shut up!"

"It seems that the situation is not ideal. I know a thing or two about your Wuma family. Your father had many women, and your mother was one of them, right?"

Wuma Liya, in an agitated state: "Shut your mouth!"

"Did she die because of a struggle for favor with your father's other women? Or did she harm your father's other women, and your father got rid of her?"

Cheng Jinyan was not only a lawyer but also held a qualification as a psychologist. He observed Wuma Liya's eyes, studying and analyzing her changing expressions.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Wuma Liya's expression trembled.

Cheng Jinyan captured her emotional shift and couldn't help but restrain his own emotions. His thoughts were on the verge of speaking out, but he felt it was too outrageous and callous. However, he didn't let her off the hook:

"So, did your father feed her to the leopards?"

His words pierced through Wuma Liya's ears like a curse, breaking open her heart and seizing her nerves.

Wuma Liya suddenly fell silent, her eyes staring blankly upward, as if her soul had been snatched away in an instant.

Cheng Jinyan noticed something amiss with Wuma Liya and finally saw her transformation from a beastly appearance to a normal one.

Just as Cheng Jinyan was about to call out to her...

Wuma Liya suddenly screamed as if she had gone mad: "Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!"

Cheng Jinyan's expression changed, but he didn't have time to protect his eardrums.

Wuma Liya seemed to be trapped in some dark memories, with scenes filling her vision. Her pupils dilated, and her eyes were filled with terror.

The guards rushed in upon hearing the commotion: "Young Master."

However, Cheng Jinyan paid no attention to them, standing up to check on Wuma Liya's condition: "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!"

She continued to scream as if she had gone insane.

"Hey? Crazy girl?"

"Crazy girl?"

Cheng Jinyan tapped Wuma Liya's face, but she seemed unable to feel it, only continuing to scream.

The situation was quite alarming.

Cheng Jinyan immediately instructed his subordinates to call Qiao Ying.

Once Qiao Ying arrived, she administered an injection, and Wuma Liya quieted down.

Cheng Jinyan looked at Wuma Liya, who had fallen into a coma, and asked Qiao Ying, "How is she?"

Qiao Ying replied, "She'll wake up in a while."

Cheng Jinyan asked, "What happened to her just now?"

Qiao Ying glanced at him and said, "Shouldn't I be asking you? What did you do to provoke her?"

Qiao Ying could not be unaware of Cheng Jinyan's true nature behind his glasses.

Cheng Jinyan remained silent, thinking back to when Qiao Ying mentioned Wuma Liya's hereditary mental illness and psychological trauma while they were in Suriname.

The extent to which a person's psyche can be twisted for someone to feed their own woman to leopards, subjecting their daughter to witness it, or even potentially forcing her to watch, was beyond comprehension and extinguished all traces of humanity.

After the incident, Cheng Jinyan didn't come to see Wuma Liya for the next two days.

It wasn't until the Wuma family came looking for them, demanding their presence.

There were quite a few people on the other side.

Leading the group were Teng Yan and Wuma Yan.

Cheng Jinyan chuckled and said, "You want someone? Do you think that's possible?"

Wuma Yan smiled kindly and spoke in a friendly tone, saying, "You burned down our Wuma family's auction house first and killed so many of our people. My little sister caught you, and you caught her. My Wuma family doesn't care about the losses as long as you let me take my little sister away. We'll call it even between our families, and from now on, we won't interfere with each other."

Cheng Jinyan replied, "I admit to burning down your auction house, and the people who died were the ones who came looking for trouble. As for that person named Wuma Lin, his death has nothing to do with me. Wuma Liya tormented me for so many days, and it was already merciful of me not to kill her directly. You think you can just take her away like that? It's not that easy."

Wuma Yan asked, "Then what do you want?"

Cheng Jinyan sat in his father's seat, casually facing Wuma Yan, who stood in the center of the hall.

"Wait until I've vented enough, then we'll see how I feel."
