Mr. Zhou from the pawnshop acted like he was conducting serious business and was a little troubled by Ye Fei’s request.

“I understand your concerns. Of course, I wouldn’t want to do anything to trouble you. Here is $200,000. I am not asking you to lower any of the prices, I only hope you can keep all the inheritances for a month longer.” Ye Fei handed over a card.

The $200,000 in this card is all of her savings. When she went to jail, all of her bank cards were locked down. The remaining several accounts that haven’t been touched were combined to make up for this $200,000.

Mr. Zhou glared at the card Ye Fei was holding and didn’t accept it. He grinned, “Ms. Xu, as you know, art pieces and jewelry are valued at market price. A few days of delay could result in millions of dollars in losses. This is a responsibility I am not willing to take. Plus, the Ye family is in a rush. To delay everything by a month is far too risky.”

Ye Fei knew in her mind that the man was simply commenting that it is risky, not saying it is completely undoable. This means there is a chance for her to achieve this. What scared her was that he probably had his eyes on her!

As expected, before Ye Fei could say anything, the man before her softened his voice and spoke out again, “For a total stranger I’ve never met before, I am truly not willing to take such a risk. But if Miss Xu becomes someone who is mine, then, to make the beauty smile, I am willing to try even if it puts my life at risk.”

Ye Fei cursed silently. Just as she thought, all men were scumbags!

The man realized that she didn’t have the money and was using this opportunity to take advantage of her. What a great plan he has set up for himself!

The man’s eyes appeared ill-intended. As Ye Fei was still deep in thought, he moved his hand that was on the table closer to her. In the end, he tightly grabbed onto Ye Fei’s smooth hand and rubbed it repetitively, “Don’t worry Ms. Xu. Towards my people, I am a man of my words. If Ms. Xu becomes mine, then I am willing to take the risk, no matter how risky…”

As Ye Fei frowned and was about to respond, a shower of liquid suddenly poured down from above. Purple-red fluid splashed down from a higher spot like a sudden rainstorm. Mr. Zhou’s well-tamed hair suddenly collapsed. Parting from the middle, his hair flapped down in all directions, looking like a fried rooster.

The purple-red liquid mixed with the wax in his hair and then dripped down from his hair in streaks. The man’s beige casual dress shirt was dyed red at once and stuck to his body, making the two fat lumps on his chest very visible.

“What. The. F!ck! Who is it!”

Ye Fei and the man both looked upwards and ended up seeing Su Mohan, who was wearing a delicately tailored dress shirt and holding onto a tall wine glass. He looked as proud as an emperor. He was leaning out from the rail above, and his long sharp eyes were staring right at Mr. Zhou.

Ye Fei’s heart clenched and she subconsciously drew her hand back. She couldn’t help but curse silently: Su Mohan, does the ghost of you ever disappear? How do I run into you everywhere I go!

Over… this is over… even if Su Mohan chooses not to toss her into the river to feed the fishes, he is going to skin her. Ye Fei felt troubled.

After quickly getting her stuff together, Ye Fei raised her head and looked up at Su Mohan, who was standing on the second level and smiled at him sweetly. Her sluggish cat eyes turned into crescents with the intention to please – it was cute.

Su Mohan’s glanced over her without any trace of emotion. Then, his gaze landed on the man sitting across from her.
