With time of the essence, Xia Xiang first went to the Ancient Tomb Hospital, talked with the little deaf girl, and gave her aunt a large amount of medicinal herbs that would benefit the Alliance Leader's health.

Then she went to see Ren Chenfeng, who had been forced to be hospitalized by her family, and asked Hu Yanjing to send the results of the interrogation of the demonized man to her older brother.

Finally, I went directly to my mother's car dealership to explain the situation, left notes for my older brothers and sisters, and then went to Ye Siren's bar to say goodbye.

After doing everything, they went directly through the time portal back to the Gold Dimension.

When Xia Xiang returned, she had already turned back into her seventeen-year-old self. When she got back to school, she happened to see Jin Baosan waving his hand and buying 50,000 yuan worth of scratch-off lottery tickets on the street near the school.

"Squad Leader Bao San, what's going on?" Xia Xiang suddenly asked, startling Jin Bao San and his underlings.

"Oh dear, Sister Xiangxiang, you scared me to death!" Jin Baosan patted his chest and complained with a pout. His underlings also complained quietly.

Xia Xiang raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so guilty? Did you extort this money from elementary school students?"

"No, that's not it! I earned it by working all night!" Jinbao San, a burly man, stamped his foot and said urgently.

"Working all night? Do you really need that much money?" Xia Xiang asked doubtfully. "Then why use it to buy lottery tickets!"

"Hey, Xiangxiang, you took leave, of course I didn't know," Jin Baosan explained.

"Rex's family went bankrupt and he owes Black Cat Hotel 500,000 yuan. Now he's forced to work as a waiter at Black Cat Hotel to pay off his debts."

"He was Dong Ge's best friend, so of course Dong Ge couldn't just watch him suffer. That's why he rallied the whole class to work and pay off the debt."

Xia Xiang's eyebrows twitched with anger: Does she look that easy to fool?

"See? You don't believe it either, right? Even King Arthur didn't believe it, but the facts are right in front of us," Jin Baosan said cautiously, seeing Xia Xiang's bad expression.

“Yes, our boss is a VIP member of the Black Cat Hotel, of course he knows,” Xiao La said.

“Yeah, yeah, our boss has a lifetime access card for a VIP suite at the Black Cat Hotel,” Da La added.

"Keep it low-key, I don't want Sister Xiangxiang to distance herself from me because of my status," Jin Baosan said, giving Da La and Xiao La a nudge each. "Although I'm a VIP at the Black Cat Hotel, I'm actually a good person."

Actually, he bought those room cards on the black market for 250 yuan, but the people at the Black Cat Hotel were all very creepy, so he didn't dare to go there. He could only put them on the black market for 200 yuan and see if any crazy person would buy them.

Xia Xiang: Ah, this? Could it be that she sold it? She didn't deliver it in person and put it in the locker for the buyer to pick up themselves. Who knew it was Jin Baosan!

Xia Xiang, tired of their rambling, asked directly, "So you're using everyone's night shift money to buy scratch-off lottery tickets? If Wang Da Dong finds out, you'll be dead!!"

"Ah!" Jin Baosan screamed. "Sister Xiangxiang, please don't tell Brother Dong! You have to believe in my luck. There must be a five million one in here. That'll be enough to buy the Black Cat Hotel."

"Ha, good luck," Xia Xiang sneered and walked towards the school.

Before even reaching the classroom, she saw Wang Dadong, Ding Xiaoyu, and her brother Wang Yase leading the other students from Ultimate Class out in a grand procession.

"Xiangxiang, you're back!" Wang Yase strode forward.

"Yeah, brother," Xia Xiang answered naturally, but then asked with some confusion, "Where are you guys going?"

“Xiangxiang, you may not know, Rex, he…” Wang Dadong said as he approached Xia Xiang when she returned.

"I just found out," Xia Xiang said calmly without any other reaction.

“We’ve raised enough money. Arthur even sold his entire outfit. We’re just short of the 50,000 yuan that Jin Baosan has,” Ding Xiaoyu explained.

“I think I know where Jin Baosan is,” Xia Xiang said, sweating bullets for Jin Baosan. “I ran into him when I came in just now.”

"Then let's go quickly." Wang Dadong had just felt that Xia Xiang seemed to be ignoring him, and he felt a little lonely.

But finding Jin Baosan would give him the 50,000 yuan, and with the 50,000 yuan he could rescue Rex. He was immediately excited.

Xia Xiang led them outside, thinking that Jin Baosan would not return to school because he was afraid of Wang Dadong, but unexpectedly, they met the three of them under a big tree when they had only gone halfway.

Wang Yase and Ding Xiaoyu both looked at Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang shrugged helplessly and explained, "By the time I found out the truth, Jin Baosan had already paid. There was nothing I could do."

Wang Dadong was furious when he saw this. That damned Jin Baosan gets itchy if he doesn't get a beating every day. This is Rex's life-saving money!

Jin Baosan scraped so many coins but didn't win a single penny. He knew he had made a huge mistake and kept begging for mercy, urging his underlings to scrape like crazy. Fortunately, they finally raised 51,000 yuan.

The group headed to the Black Cat Hotel with Qian Hao in a grand procession, while Xia Xiang took Ding Xiaoyu to another place.

"Xiangxiang, the way you looked at me this time was very strange." Ding Xiaoyu was perceptive and had naturally noticed Xia Xiang's evasive gaze long ago.

"I... I just haven't seen you guys in so long, and I was worried you wouldn't play with me anymore," Xia Xiang said, making up a lie with her head down.

"Only three days."

Ding Xiaoyu watched as she picked at the seams of her coat with her fingernails, almost tearing the fabric. He realized that the girl was lying and didn't want to tell him the truth.

Did she find out something? Does she think he's a pervert? He can wait, but he must explain to her that he's definitely not a pervert!

"I'll go wherever you want to go," Ding Xiaoyu said, looking at the top of her head with a doting tone.

Xia Xiang suddenly looked up and saw Ding Xiaoyu's smile that she hadn't had time to retract. Suddenly, a face popped into her mind.

No! She must have just switched time and space and is a little dizzy. She'll be fine after a while.

"I want to go to the pawnshop where my brother pawns his things."

"Let's go," Ding Xiaoyu said, pulling Xia Xiang in one direction. "I know you don't like Rex, but in case of an emergency, having us here will make things easier for Arthur and Da Dong. So let's hurry up and go."

"Mmm," Xia Xiang nodded and quickly followed Ding Xiaoyu.

Xia Xiang, who had redeemed her belongings, was baffled. Holding the necklace, she asked, "When did my brother and Rex become so close? He even pawned his mother's necklace."

“He treats Wang Dadong as a good brother,” Ding Xiaoyu said with a helpless smile. “That awkward guy didn’t say anything.”

"My brother is such a good person!"

Wang Yase was given a "friend zone" card by his own sister without his knowledge.

“I’m even jealous of how much he cares about Wang Dadong.”

"Don't be angry with Wang Dadong. He's just too loyal. What can we do? We're brothers," Ding Xiaoyu comforted him.

"I'm not angry with him at all," Xia Xiang retorted stubbornly. "Who would get angry with someone who's so outspoken?"
