Chapter 289 In a Hurry

“A gi ft? To me?”

Shirley stopped and looked at Kole with interest.

She felt incredibly lucky that Kole was giving her a gift.

The things that Kole was selling were either priceless or unique. It would be a very good deal for Shirley.

However, Kole didn’t give Shirley something he sold, but something that he carried with him.

“Girl, take this silk. One day, it will give you important guidance.”

Kole’s hands were old like a withered tree. He took out a silk that was meticulously made and slowly

handed

it over to Shirley.

“This silk…”

When Shirley saw the pattern on the silk, she was shocked.

She saw that the silk had the pattern of a phoenix and a Paramita Flower on it. It was somewhat similar

the pattern on the baby blanket that her grandmother had left her. It was likely that they were made by

the

same person.

Unfortunately, the baby blanket was burned in that fire.

Shirley was just about to ask Kole where he got the silk when someone with a head full of blood rushed

over

and hugged her thigh.

“Help! Help me! Someone’s chopping me.”

The person who asked for help was a woman in her early thirties. She cried, “I can’t die. If I die, my son

will

become an orphan. Please help me!”

Shirley did not want to meddle in other people’s business, but when she heard that the woman was also

a mother and was taking care of her son by herself, she was moved. Shirley helped her up and asked,

“What

happened? Say it slowly.”

“I came to the antique market to sell goods, but the people here are lawless. When they saw that I was a

weak woman on my own, they robbed me…”

Speaking of that, she hugged the cloth bag in her arms even tighter and said, “This is passed down by

my ancestors. If my son was not sick and needed so much money, I would never sell it even if I were

beaten to death. But they actually tried to rob me, and they hurt me with a knife when they couldn’t take it

away. It’s so scary. Please help me!”

Shirley sized up the woman from head to toe. Her gaze was deep as she said indifferently, “Calm down

first. It’s true that the law doesn’t work here in Sutor Wharf, but since you chose to ask me for help today,

I will definitely deal with this fairly. I won’t disappoint you”

The woman instantly felt relieved. She retracted her tears and immediately said, “Thank you! Thank you!”

At this time, there were more than ten tall and strong men dressed in black with long sticks in their

hands,

searching around the crowded antique market.

“Where is she? She disappeared in the blink of an eye. That woman’s sneaky like an eel.”

“Everyone, search carefully. Making her live like hell if anyone finds her!”

The woman hid behind Shirley and trembled when she saw that.

“Don’t be afraid, I told you. I’m here. They won’t dare to act recklessly!”

Shirley turned her head slightly and comforted the woman behind her.

Soon, the men found Shirley. They rushed forward angrily and shouted, “Get out of the way! You wanna

die?”

Shirley remained calm and said firmly, “Who do you think you are?”

Such a bold reaction not only shocked the group of men but also shocked the surrounding vendors and

buyers.

The tall man in front of the men said fiercely, “This is your first time at the Sutor Wharf, huh? Do you

know

who you are talking to?”

“Of course, I don’t know. Why else would I ask you?”

“Since you don’t know, I’ll just be kind and tell you. We are from the Crimson Pawnshop. You must have

heard

of the Crimson Pawnshop as long as you come here. Now, you can get out of the way.

“So you are from the Crimson Pawnshop?”

Shirley curled her lips and said lightly, “Why do they have to make a shop like a gang? Shouting, and

killing

for such a small deal… Look at how a group of men is trying to hurt a woman. Is this what your boss is

like?”

These words were simply outrageous to that group of men.

They were instantly pissed off. They raised their wooden sticks and were about to beat Shirley. “You can

insult us, but you dare to insult our boss. We must teach you a lesson!”

Shirley curled her lips with a face of expression. “Come on, show me what you got.”

She moved her slender fingers and was eager to try.

It was a good opportunity for her to find out how capable the famous Crimson Pawnshop was, and when

the

time came, she would have the confidence to negotiate a good price with their boss, Mr. Quintin.

“All of you, back off.”

A man’s voice came from behind the crowd.

This voice was gentle, neither hurried nor too slow, and it was quite young.

Then, a handsome man in a dark green gown, holding a folded fan in his hand, with long hair tied up,

walked

out.

“Mr. Rowland!”

When the men in black saw the man, they immediately bowed respectfully.

The man was elegant. He sighed and said, “How many times have I told you? Crimson Pawnshop does

legal business. We should show people our warm and friendly attitude. If there are any disputes, just

communicate. All of you, put away your sticks. Don’t scare them.”

“Yes, sir!”

The men in black obediently put away the sticks. It could be seen that this young man had a very high

status in the Crimson Pawnshop.

Shirley observed the man from head to toe, then teased, “That’s more like it. Your gentleness is more like

the style of a man working in a pawnshop.”

The man smiled and stretched out his hand. He said, “Hello, my name is Irving Rowland. I am in charge

of the Crimson Pawnshop. My men can fight well, but they lack education. Please forgive them if they

offend you.”

As she saw that the man in charge was so polite and humble, Shirley’s tone became serious. “It’s not a

big deal. I only had a conflict with your pawnshop because they were going to hurt an innocent woman. I

happen to have something to discuss with your boss. Can you introduce me?” she said.

“Well…”

Irving smiled helplessly. “Our boss is usually very busy, and his whereabouts are uncertain. You can’t just

casually meet him. Unless your goods are very precious or can arouse his interest.”

Speaking of which, a while ago, there was a woman who pawned a kid, and the boss personally came

out to check the “goods”.

That kid was indeed as innocent as a piece of unpolished gemstone. Before Irving could properly carve

it, Mr. Quintin let the kid go. He really didn’t understand what Mr. Quintin was thinking. What a pity, what

a pity!

“Don’t worry, your boss will definitely be interested in my thing because it’s unique.”

Shirley was confident.

“That might not be the case. Our boss has a higher vision than me. He has seen too many precious

things in the world. It is not easy to arouse his interest.”

After saying that, Irving asked curiously, “Why don’t you show me your treasure first? If it is worth it, I will

introduce you. Don’t blame us for being harsh. Our boss is really busy.”
