Chapter 457 - 209: More Shameless Than a Scoundrel
Descending the steps, Yun Zheng walked to a wall full of torture instruments and turned around to sit on a very imposing ebony armchair.
Then, he slightly tilted his chin toward the direction of the cell.
Yun Wanye: "..."
Dad really treats him like a subordinate!!!
Sighing in resignation, he placed the lantern he was holding into a specially left gap in the wall, then headed toward the cell.
With a click, the door opened, and hearing the sound, the filthy man curled up in the corner began to tremble violently, panting heavily like a bull.
He widened his eyes, staring intently at the doorway, but apart from a blurry figure, he couldn’t make out the person’s face.
In contrast, with Inner Strength empowering him and excellent vision, Yun Wanye wasn’t affected by the lighting at all.
He could clearly see the look of fear and panic on the man’s face not far away, his body shaking like a sieve.
The man was terrified, completely engulfed by overwhelming fear.
Tsk, being scared in a place like this, otherwise, it wouldn’t be interesting.
The corners of Yun Wanye’s lips curved into a smirk. He pulled a ghost mask from his pocket, put it on, then strode over and unlocked the chain from the wall.
Grabbing the chain, he yanked it as if dragging a dog, pulling the man out.
"Hmph..."
The chain rubbed painfully against the man’s neck, and he grasped the chain with both hands to try to alleviate it, but he still couldn’t escape the feeling of suffocation.
He groaned in pain, his eyes bulging almost out of his sockets.
"W-Who are you? Da Wu Country’s law states no unauthorized torture, you... you are violating the law..."
Oh, he knows the law?
Interesting!
And that accent, it doesn’t sound like someone from Haojing.
With his lips curled under the ghost mask, Yun Wanye suddenly stopped, turned around, and squatted down, shoving his face into the man’s.
The lantern on the wall emitted a faint light, brighter than the inside of the cell.
The darkness in the man’s eyes was replaced, but before he could relax, a terrifying ghost face suddenly appeared before him.
"Ah, a ghost..."
The man’s pupils contracted sharply, and he screamed in terror before his eyes rolled back, and he fainted dead away.
"Tsk, what useless..."
Yun Wanye stood up, kicked him disdainfully, and looked over at the speechless Yun Zheng.
"Dad, is this man Aunt’s husband in Nanzhou Prefecture?"
Originally, he thought someone who had provoked his dad, wasted his dad’s time by being imprisoned here, must be significant, but didn’t expect such a cowardly waste.
Apart from that Shang guy, he couldn’t think of anyone else.
"Mm."
Yun Zheng responded with a heavy sigh and said helplessly, "I still need to interrogate him, why did you scare him unconscious?"
"Well, if he’s out, I’ll just pee on his face to wake him up."
Yun Wanye blinked innocently, and after speaking, reached for his waistband, seemingly intending to follow through.
Yun Zheng: "..."
This brat is full of mischief, worse than a rascal, what noble son would do such shameless things?
Before he could continue his thoughts, he heard a rushing sound.
The brat really aimed at the guy’s head and let it flow for a while, who knows how long he held it.
Yun Zheng couldn’t bear to watch anymore and turned his head away.
Running into this brat, the Shang guy must have rotten luck over many lifetimes.
Luckily, these private imprisonments and tortures must remain hidden; before coming in, he had dismissed the guards and didn’t let anyone follow.
Otherwise, if someone saw this shameless act of the brat, who knows where the Yun Family’s reputation would end up if word got out.
"Cough, cough, cough, gag..."
The man on the ground suddenly began coughing violently, followed by bouts of dry heaving.
His nose, throat, lips and teeth were filled with a strong, fishy odor, and the intense nausea and suffocation overwhelmed him, forcing him to vomit all over himself.
Seeing this, Yun Wanye reflexively jumped back, quickly using his hand to tuck himself back in, cursing while suppressing his nausea.
"So much vomit, don’t you stink?"
Yun Zheng: "..."
Stink?
Ha, can it be as disgusting as when you peed on his face?
How could he have the nerve to complain about someone’s vomit?
Even if he loathed the fellow on the ground to the core, Yun Zheng couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy for him.
After vomiting, the man continued dry heaving, making everyone uncomfortable to listen to it. Yun Wanye could no longer bear it, stepping forward and kicking him where it wasn’t filthy.
"Enough already? Make that sound again, and I’ll rip out your tongue."
He threatened with a vicious tone, accompanied by a terrifying, ghastly face, like some unforgivable demon.
The man was scared into a shiver, hurriedly covering his mouth, forcing himself to endure the physical discomfort, not daring to make a single sound.
The surroundings finally quieted down, and the agitation in Yun Wanye’s heart gradually subsided.
And the man finally regained his senses. Although terrified inside, he mustered the courage to negotiate with a trembling voice for survival.
"Did you capture me for silver? I have silver, the Shang Family is a well-known wealthy household in Nanzhou Prefecture. As long as you let me go, you can have as much silver as you want..."
"Hah..."
Yun Wanye was amused by his naivety, lazily picking his ear, scoffing disdainfully, and scaring him mercilessly.
"Let you go? What a dream, as long as you wipe out the entire Shang Family, won’t all the silver be ours?"
Indeed, they came for the silver and wanted to massacre the Shang Family.
The man nearly fainted again from fear.
He gathered his breath and stammered out, "Mur... murder is illegal, the Shang Family is a big house; if you dare to kill the Shang Family, the Government won’t let you off..."
"No, why don’t we cooperate, you let me go, I’ll give you all the silver, and we won’t report it to the authorities?"
"You’re after money, why risk killing and getting the Government involved?"
Heh, truly a businessman, not forgetting negotiations even at this moment.
Yun Wanye prepared to continue scaring him, attempting to cause him extreme mental torment and harm, but Yun Zheng was impatiently waiting.
"Stop wasting words with him, I’ve got questions to ask, go drag that woman out too."
"Yes."
Yun Wanye quickly put away his ruffian demeanor, striding towards the nearby cell.
And the man who had been extremely tense finally noticed that others were present.
He twisted his neck, fearfully glancing around, seeing a formidable man sitting on a wide chair.
The man exuded an aura of power without anger, half his face hidden in darkness, the other half handsome and upright, with a faint sense of familiarity.
He thought and thought, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed his mind, his pupils widened with shock beyond words.
"Big... Big brother, you are the big brother..."
He suddenly went crazy, stumbling and crawling toward Yun Zheng, like a wild dog with all its bones broken.
At the same time, a woman’s shrill scream and the sound of chains being pulled came from another cell.
Yun Zheng squinted his eyes, ignoring the woman’s screams, looking with extreme disgust at the guy crawling to hug his leg.
As the filthy, dirty guy was about to touch him, he suddenly raised his leg, kicked hard, flipping him to the ground.
The sound of bones breaking echoed in the air, and in the next instant, the man let out a piercing scream.
"Who the hell is your big brother? What bad luck!"
If not for Chuchu, this kind of thing wouldn’t even qualify to see him.
However, the man on the ground completely ignored his words, the pain on his body felt like being dismembered, but to survive, he gritted his teeth and pleaded for himself.
"Big... big brother, calm... calm down, did... did Chuchu say bad things about me? I... I don’t know what upset Chuchu, if... if big brother wants to vent for Chuchu, I... I have no complaints."
"But... but I’m still Chuchu’s child’s father, the child is still young, can’t... can’t be without a father..."
"Please, big brother, for your niece’s sake, spare... spare my life, I will, will obey Chuchu willingly in the future."
Shang Yu finally understood why he had inexplicably been captured and kept in this dark, hellish place; it turned out it was the Yun Family’s doing.
Indeed, that bitch Yun Chuchu shouldn’t have returned to the Yun Family.
All these years, she had never returned to the Yun Family, and the Yun Family had always been uninvolved with them, coexisting peacefully.
He left home for just a few days, and that bitch secretly took Rong’er away, left Nanzhou Prefecture, heading straight to the Yun Family.
By the time he received the news and sent people after her, it was already too late.
At that time, he was very uneasy, but he also had a moment of chance, desperately reassuring himself, that everything they did was very secretive, Yun Chuchu knew nothing.
Even if she returned to the Yun Family, she wouldn’t say anything to them.
Who knew, man plans but heaven decides, the Yun Family still took action against him, undoubtedly Yun Chuchu had said something to Yun Zheng.
Otherwise, why would Yun Zheng bother extending his hand to places over two thousand miles away?
If he had known, he wouldn’t have been so wary, should have directly killed that bitch, nailed her into the coffin and sent a letter to Yun Zheng about her death.
At that time, the matter would be over, and perhaps there wouldn’t be this situation now.
Shang Yu regretted not listening to Aunt Zhang and killing Yun Chuchu earlier, leaving this scourge, bringing disaster to the Shang Family.
However, regret is useless, it’s already too late, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.
He didn’t mention his niece, but when he did, Yun Zheng couldn’t help but think of the tragic state of Zhenzhen when they first met, the little girl covered in scars, and his anger soared uncontrollably.
Suddenly getting up from the chair, he raised his leg and kicked Shang Yu’s shoulder.
With a crunch, the scapula shattered.
"You got the nerve to mention my niece?"
