Chapter 613: A Canary?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Qi, tears blurring her vision, asked through a sniffle, “What do you want me to do?”
“It’s simple. Just cooperate with us and keep us entertained. For example, as they just said, imitate a duck, bark like a dog, and so on,” Ye Shaoxian said cruelly, without a shred of pity.
Lu Qi, drained of strength, didn’t respond. She thought to herself, ‘How could I endure such humiliation? I had my pride too!’
Ye Shaoxian taunted her, “Don’t pretend to be some noble and virtuous woman here. For people like you from broken homes, being noticed by me is a blessing. If you’re unwilling, then I’ll have to let my friends here take good care of you.” Before Lu Qi could reply, she fainted.
“Cold water. Splash her to wake her up.” Ye Shaoxian ordered.
But three buckets of cold water later, Lu Qi still didn’t wake up, and Ye Shaoxian lost interest. He stood up, glancing at her body on the floor with a malicious smile. “Hey, take this woman to the Ye residence. Put her in Ye Shaochen’s bed!”
The others looked puzzled, but Ye Shaoxian, without any intention of explaining, left the room. As he left, he added, “Oh, and make sure to put her in a cage. Tell Ye Shaochen it’s a canary I’ve sent him. He should take good care of it!”
Ye Shaoxian’s subordinates promptly carried Lu Qi out.
Back at the Ye residence, Lu Chengzhou had just finished checking on Ye Rong and saw several bodyguards carrying a box out of a cargo truck. The box, covered in a black cloth, concealed its contents.
Little Faye, Old Master Ye’s pet bird, circled the box curiously.
Intrigued, Lu Chengzhou approached, “What’s inside the box?”
The bodyguard replied, “It’s a canary that Master Shaoxian sent to Master Shaochen.”
“A canary? In such a big box?” Lu Chengzhou asked.
“It’s not a bird, not a bird,” Little Faye chirped, landing on Lu Chengzhou’s head, its sharp claws digging into his scalp.
The bodyguard’s expression changed. “We need to deliver this to Master Shaochen now. Please excuse us, Mr. Lu.”
“Ah! Ouch, Little Faye, what are you doing? You’re going to pull out my hair!” Lu Chengzhou voiced up. He was too busy dealing with the suddenly crazy Little Faye to pay attention to the bodyguards.
“It’s not a bird, not a bird,” Little Faye repeated, tugging Lu Chengzhou’s hair toward the bodyguards.
“Damn bird, let go!” Lu Chengzhou grabbed a small sedative needle and jabbed it into Little Faye.
The bird immediately fell limp in his hands, its big, innocent eyes blinking.
Disgusted, Lu Chengzhou handed Little Faye to a nearby maid, as the bodyguards sneaked away with the box.
However, as they passed Lu Chengzhou, he suddenly frowned and sniffed the air. “Wait a minute.”
His expression changed. “You said there’s a canary inside?”
“Yes,” the bodyguard replied stiffly.
“Really? Then open it up. I’ve never seen a canary before. Let me have a look.”
“Mr. Lu, please don’t make it difficult for us. This was Master Shaoxian’s order…”
“I don’t care who ordered it. Everyone knows I, Lu Chengzhou, never play by the rules. Not even Nanshen gets a pass.. Are you trying to offend me by not letting me have a look?”
