Chapter 44: The Failed Honey Trap Chapter 44: The Failed Honey Trap Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Yan carried the unconscious Shen Xi and, with his wife, Lu Shan,
“Master, where are we going now?” Xue Li looked at Guan Lei through her rearview mirror, inquiring politely.
Xue Li and Guan Lei had witnessed the entire farce.
She did not know what was going on in her master’s mind.
Why did he suddenly decide to help the Shen couple and Shen Xi?
It was very strange to her.
“We’re going home.
I want to sleep,” Guan Lei directed somewhat impatiently.
She was unsure why, but it seemed Guan Lei was not in a good mood.
Unbeknownst to Xue Li, Guan Lei’s poor mood lay in the image that constantly replayed itself in his mind: the image of Shen Xi lying unconscious.
Perhaps it was because the ally he had found in Shen Xi had been hurt for nothing and by some minor, nameless character no less.
“As you command,” Xue Li respectfully answered as she started up the engine and set the course for home.
“Give Zhu Cheng a call later.
I like the entertainment at the amusement park very much.
Tell him to wait for me.
I will treat him well next time!” Guan Lei gnashed his teeth when he said this.
His posture made him look like he wanted to rip flesh from bone.
Xue Li swallowed, assenting.
It seemed that someone was going to be unlucky.

It was so jarring she needed to close her eyes again.
The voices of her parents rang in her ears.
“Do you have any more?
I still need to buy supplements for when Xixi is discharged,” Lu Shan spoke softly.
“There’s nothing left.
I’ve already sold the two electric fans we had to cover the medical bill; we only have a little left.
We should keep the last fan for Xixi in case she gets hot.
How else will she sleep?
Summer nights are anything but cool.” Shen Yan sighed, going over their situation with his wife.
“No more.
I’ve sold the two electric fans.
After paying the medical fees, I only have this little left.
“I’ll leave the remaining electric fan for Xixi to blow on.
Otherwise, how will she sleep on such a hot summer night?” Shen Yan said with a sigh.
Shen Xi frowned.
She knew her father and mother were not wealthy, but she never thought they would be destitute.
Well, it seemed that her poor life was about to begin.
