After trying for a long time, he still couldn't open it because he used the wrong method, which made Chu Weiyue sit on the ground in frustration.
He kicked the chain fiercely a few times to vent his anger: "This damn Ouyang Yu actually designed this iron chain so precisely."
Ouyang Ting sneered coldly: "Otherwise how could he have locked me up for so long. So I told you just now, if you still don't want to give up, give up now."
His tone was quite straightforward.
Chu Weiyue glared at him in dissatisfaction and poked him on the forehead with her hand.
"Just understand, I'm helping you, but you're still slandering me."
"I didn't ask you to help me. You did it willingly."
Chu Weiyue was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fire, but he was covered in wounds and she couldn't beat him up anymore, so she could only curse him a few times to vent her anger.
Perhaps the more challenging it was, the more interested Chu Weiyue would be, so he took the iron chain and studied it carefully.
With her current abilities and understanding of the lock, it would probably take her ten days or half a month to open it.
He simply stopped wasting time and sat on the ground, sighed, and looked at Ouyang Ting seriously.
Ouyang Ting's eyes were dull and no one knew where he was looking, but his expression still held a hint of expectation.
"Don't you want to leave here? I'm so anxious, but you don't cooperate at all."
He closed his eyes and said nothing in response, but just sighed deeply, as if he no longer wanted to answer such an old-fashioned question.
"You are the eldest young master, why are you imprisoned here? Logically, you are the boss, and your methods should not be inferior to Ouyang Yu. How did you end up like this? Why don't you tell me."
Chu Weiyue moved a stone from the side, sat on it, and crossed her legs, as if she was ready to listen to a story.
A hint of something flashed across Ouyang Ting's eyes, and then he closed his eyes again and pretended to sleep.
Chu Weiyue punched him in the chest: "Don't play dead, answer me quickly, maybe I can save you."
"Alright, stop talking about saving me. You can't save me. You should think about how to save yourself. Don't think that Ouyang Yu is that simple. I can fall into his hands. I don't believe that a woman like you can escape. Even if you can escape from here today, I don't believe you can escape from his clutches in the future."
He sneered coldly, as if mocking Chu Weiyue's stupidity.
"I know everyone in this family too well, especially Ouyang Yu. You should think about how to avoid him after you get out..."
From his words, it seemed that Chu Weiyue was a hundred times more pitiful than him.
Chu Weiyue couldn't help laughing out loud because of this, and raised her chin proudly: "Even if I leave here, I won't be afraid of Ouyang Yu. In my eyes, he is shit. I want to slap him twice, but he has to take it."
Ouyang Ting's eyes lit up, and he obviously disagreed. He thought she was bragging and glanced at her lightly.
Such a look stirred up waves in Chu Weiyue's heart, and he revealed his family background without hesitation.
"Don't disbelieve me. I'm not an ordinary person. My father is an important official of the imperial court. This time I came with the Ninth Prince, who is my fiancé. We came here to manage the water conservancy in the north."
"You don't know how much Ouyang Yu bowed and scraped to me and Wen Jingchi, as well as your father. They were scared to death when they were scolded a little. With our status, it's ridiculous that we would be afraid of Ouyang Yu!"
Chu Weiyue snorted arrogantly, wishing he could wag his tail up to the sky.
This time, Ouyang Ting's eyes finally showed a trace of emotion: "Are you saying that Wen Jingchi is here?"
"Yes, Wen Jingchi is here. Now you should believe that I can rescue you."
He avoided Chu Weiyue's question without hesitation and just sighed deeply.
"You don't know that the Ouyang family has long been in collusion with officials, and the waters are very deep. Even I can't understand everything, let alone you.
So I advise you to leave here with Wen Jingchi as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble. It is better to have less trouble than more. It is best to be prudent and protect yourself, so as to avoid ending up like me. "
There was a hint of self-mockery in his eyes, and he sighed with a sense of helplessness.
He looked away, the sadness in his eyes was overwhelming, which made Chu Weiyue want to spy on more secrets, and she couldn't help but move closer to him.
"What do you know? Could it be that Ouyang Yu locked you up here because of what you know? That shouldn't be the case. You are all family."
"I can only say that you should leave as soon as possible. Don't ask any more questions. The more you ask, the worse it will be for you. Knowing too much will only make you die too early. Do you understand this? I see that you are not stupid, you must understand it."
His tone was sharp and pointed, and not a single word he said was pleasant to the ear.
Chu Weiyue was also unwilling to dwell on this matter with him, and now only wanted to find out more secrets.
I couldn't help but continue to probe him: "Tell me the truth, what else do you know? You just said that the Ouyang family is in collusion with officials, so who is the backer behind them? Could it be a high-ranking official in the court?"
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Chu Weiyue kept questioning him. Finally, he got tired of it and simply buried his head in the quilt beside him, refusing to answer a single word.
Chu Weiyue still didn't let him go, shaking his body: "Hurry up and tell me what's going on. If you don't tell me, you won't be able to rest today."
"Since you won't let me be quiet, then just do whatever you want. Let's see who has more patience between us."
He glared at Chu Weiyue fiercely, his eyes full of mockery, then sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Chu Weiyue was so angry that he slammed the ground a few times and continued to question him. No matter what tricks he used, Ouyang Ting still didn't say a word.
He has been locked up here for so long and has suffered all kinds of hardships. Chu Weiyue's little torture is nothing.
But Chu Weiyue was also paranoid. After asking him for nearly an hour, he still didn't say anything. In the end, he got so angry that he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
On the other side, Shen Mubai came to find Chu Weiyue, holding several medical books.
Chu Weiyue told him a few days ago that she was interested in medical books, so he found a few new, easy-to-understand books for her to read, but who would have thought that there was no one there.
"Why is he gone?" Shen Mubai frowned in confusion. He had just gone to see Wen Jingchi, but he was not there.
Besides, they haven't gone out today, so where could Chu Weiyue go?
A few days ago, Chu Weiyue complained that there was nothing on the streets here and it was impossible for her to go out alone.
