As Tang Xiao was about to take Ke Menglan away, Shu Yanan and Jin Biao rushed out to stop him. Shu Yanan angrily accused Tang Xiao of conspiring with Qi Tianfeng, but Tang Xiao boasted that he dared to move Wen Cong because he had support that she couldn't even imagine. Due to Jin Biao's drunkenness, he was no match for the two skilled bodyguards, and Shu Yanan, who was already injured, gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At a critical moment, Yun Xiang stepped forward to stop Tang Xiao. Upon hearing this, Su Mingyu criticized Jin Biao for being useless and was instead beaten up by him. Shu Yanan never really understood Yun Xiang's true intentions and questioned him about what he wanted to do. Yun Xiang didn't give a direct answer, but he didn't conceal his concern for her.

Curious about the connection between Yun Xiang's defense of Liansheng Lane and revenge, Shu Yanan asked him directly. Instead of answering, Yun Xiang asked her how she knew Ling Yuan's martial arts. Shu Yanan casually revealed that she had saved one of Ling Yuan's disciples years ago and learned a half move from him. Yun Xiang did not comment on this and had his own answer in mind. As for his true purpose for coming to the southern capital this time, Yun Xiang told Shu Yanan that he wanted to break up the alliance between Qi Tianfeng and the Caobang and needed her assistance in doing so. He knew that business was all about debts, and since these merchants were unscrupulous, he saw no reason to treat them with respect. Instead, he planned to collect all the debts owed, and the success of this plan would depend on Shu Yanan's methods.

Jin Biao is a gambling addict and not skilled in gambling. He lost all his money to Ke Menglan and owed her sixty taels of silver. Just as Jin Biao questioned Su Mingyu's intentions for bringing him to the gambling house, Yun Xiang stepped in and gambled against Ke Menglan. He won back all the silver that Jin Biao had lost in one game. Afterwards, to repay Yun Xiang, Jin Biao offered to kill someone for him at half price. Yun Xiang allowed Jin Biao to stay by his side as a bodyguard and paid him daily. Watching as Liansheng Lane was about to be auctioned off, Ke Menglan felt uneasy and worried that the change of ownership of the gambling house would leave her and her sisters homeless. Su Mingyu saved up three thousand taels of silver to participate in the auction of Liansheng Lane, claiming that he would not let Ke Menglan become homeless. However, he had made such promises before but had failed to keep them, and Ke Menglan no longer had any hope. She admitted that she was of humble birth and unworthy of him.

Due to Yun Xiang sending Shu Yanan to collect debts from merchants, he had no one to protect him and Zhang Kui took the opportunity to follow and track him. Yun Xiang noticed something was amiss and quickly lit firecrackers to resist for a moment before leading them to Mo Bufan's territory. In a critical moment, Mo Bufan and his son Kang Qiao came out to rescue them, skillfully disposing of Zhang Kui, all of which was calculated by Yun Xiang. With the help of Shu Yanan, Yun Xiang successfully collected the debt receipts from the merchants and as a gesture of gratitude, gave her a set of women's clothing. The next day, the auction at Liansheng Alley proceeded as planned. Ke Menglan intentionally arranged to meet Su Mingyu and sent people to give him clothes as an apology, thus strengthening Su Mingyu's determination to buy Liansheng Alley.

Shu Yanan's new female attire was impressive, and Yun Xiang couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty. The compliments were endless until Jin Biao ruined the atmosphere. Later, the three of them arrived at Liansheng Lane and found that all the merchants in the city had gathered there, including the gambling tycoon Tang Xiao and his skilled bodyguards. Qian Rong presided over the auction, and just before it started, Su Mingyu appeared with three thousand silver bills. Originally, Su Mingyu wanted to buy Liansheng Lane to save Ke Menglan, but Tang Xiao was determined to acquire it. They kept bidding until the price surpassed 3,000 taels of silver. In desperation, Su Mingyu turned to Yun Xiang for help, who was willing to lend him one percent interest to borrow one thousand taels of silver. Yun Xiang directly bid for four thousand taels of silver.
