Chapter 265 The Reason for Being Kidnapped
You definitely won't agree. Never mind. If you want to say I'm your friend, that's fine. It doesn't matter.
"How many people know the secret of your Yu family?" Bai Yangfan asked indifferently. "Actually, I'm more interested in this. Think about it, if no one had given them the hint, how could they have found you? How would they have known that the Yu family is a family that has inherited the art of mechanical engineering?"
"well!"
Speaking of this, Shawn Yue was also confused. How could he know where those people came from or who had poured water on them? Their Yu family had relied on the art of mechanical engineering to pass down their legacy for over two hundred years, and emperors of all dynasties had never once taken any drastic action against them.
The Yu family had always maintained a low profile, never resorting to researching and killing people for the various mechanical techniques left behind by their ancestors. In particular, over the past fifty years, the Yu family had almost completely stopped showing off their mechanical techniques.
Who knew about the Yu family's affairs and leaked them?
He couldn't figure out the answer to this question even if he racked his brains. A branch of the Yu family went abroad a few years ago. Who knows if it was them who gave him the water?
Now that everything has been said, there is nothing to hide. I believe Bai Yangfan will not look down on him. "I'm not too sure about this. They found me, kidnapped me, and threw me into a room.
The men, all masked, asked me to make a key for them, even having the tools ready. At first I refused, so they beat me, severely. I passed out from the beating. They hit me everywhere except my hands.
When talking about these things, Shawn Yue couldn't stop shaking all over, as if he was scared by the beating. Endless fear lingered in his heart and could not be driven away.
Bai Yangfan: "They are not human, too cruel. Shawn Yue! Later you couldn't stand it anymore and agreed to make that key for them, right?"
When she asked this, Shawn Yue raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him: "Do you look down on me? Do you think that a grown man succumbed to the threats of others and did something he shouldn't have done?"
Turning back to meet his eyes, Bai Yangfan shook his head slightly: "No, you're wrong. Human life is precious, and it should be cherished when it's time. I don't despise you, nor do I look down on you. In your situation at the time, it was understandable to make such a choice. You don't need to feel psychologically burdened, nor do you need to blame yourself. Did you tell anyone about this after you got out?"
At this moment, Shawn Yue was completely dumbfounded. He thought Bai Yangfan would look down on him, saying that he was cowardly and incompetent and didn't know how to resist those people. It turned out that it was not the case. She did not blame him and said that his choice was right.
If you think about it carefully, it is true. There are not just one but four or five of them, and each of them has a very high fighting power. How could he possibly beat them alone?
What's more, he was tied to a chair at the time. Except for his hands and head, he couldn't move the rest of his body. How could he deal with those people?
No one gave him a chance at all.
He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He was not someone who had undergone professional physical training. He was just an ordinary college student. How could he possibly beat those thugs?
"No. I was too scared to tell my family. You're right. I helped them make the key just to survive the beatings they were doing." Shawn Yue rubbed his face in pain. "In our Yu family, that's considered a capital crime."
"You're overthinking it." Bai Yangfan gave him a disdainful look. "I know there must be something like loyalty to the emperor in the ancestral precepts, but it's an era now, who still remembers that?
You're a talented person, after all. Even if your skills aren't often used, there are still some areas where you really can't be without them. Shawn Yue! You don't have to blame yourself. Your only mistake was not reporting your case to the police.
According to my personal understanding, those who arrest you and force you to make keys for them are definitely not good people. If you encounter bad people, you should call the police. If you don't call the police, or if you don't tell the truth after this incident, then no one can help you.
Raising his head, Shawn Yue looked at Bai Yangfan in shock: "How do you know I didn't tell the truth to the police?"
"Did you say that?"
This question stumped him. He didn't know what he was talking about, so he made up an excuse of robbery. When his grandfather asked him about it at home, he did the same thing and didn't dare to say that he was kidnapped and made into a key.
He was afraid that his grandfather would be angry and beat him. The Yu family's family rules were very scary and could even beat people to death.
He lowered his head dejectedly and said two words softly: "No."
"You chose to hide it?"
"yes!"
"Alright! I can't say anything about your choice." Bai Yangfan's tone was full of sincerity. "Then can you tell me what the key you made looks like? Can you draw it?"
She had a vague guess in her heart, but she had no evidence and didn't dare to believe it.
Draw it? Why?
Although Shawn Yue was surprised by Bai Yangfan's behavior, he still agreed to her request: "Okay."
"I'll get a pen and paper. Draw it for me. Don't ask me why. I'm just curious."
Without caring about what expression Shawn Yue had behind him, Bai Yangfan stood up, put away the pulse diagnosis, went back to the house, took out a notebook and a pencil and eraser, and handed them to Shawn Yue.
"Draw it! I'm very curious. What kind of key is it? Where is the key? Can someone capture you?"
Taking the pen, Shawn Yue pondered: "I don't know where the key is. I just know that when I was pretending to faint, I heard someone say something. He said that he couldn't beat me to death, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make the key and Old Huang would be worried."
Old Huang? Bai Yangfan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said nothing more. He stood aside and watched Shawn Yue draw a key model in just a few strokes.
Then he meticulously drew the teeth of the key, explaining as he went along: "This key is very special. Its teeth are not ordinary teeth, but flat, tapered, with interlaced dots. You guessed right, this key was actually made by our Yu family's ancestors."
I just don't know where it's used. It must be quite old. I see the handle of the key has been polished to a smooth shine. Everything in our Yu family basically has its own unique characteristics, and you can tell at a glance."
After finishing the drawing, he handed it to Bai Yangfan. Shawn Yue smiled bitterly and said, "I drew this key in proportion to its original size. Anyone who has seen this key will understand it at a glance."
After glancing at the picture, Bai Yangfan curiously asked Shawn Yue, "Does your Yu family also make locks for others?"
"We don't make locks for ordinary people, we only make locks for officials." When talking about the Yu family, Shawn Yue didn't know why he was willing to tell Bai Yangfan, "Our Yu family used to be in the Ministry of Works in the palace, and we only obeyed the emperor's orders. After the imperial system was gone, our Yu family obeyed the government. This is why the Yu family has stood for a hundred years."
