Chapter 2

Although Xiao Fan had been away from Earth for 'five thousand years', after unsealing his memories, he once again regained his familiarity with Earth and China. He was well aware of the importance of money in China.

No one knew where his parents and younger brother were now. If they were still in Huahai City, it would be fine, but if they were not, he would have to search in many places.

This would inevitably involve spending money.

Xiao Fan was now completely powerless, unable to use his supernatural abilities, and had nothing but a body much stronger than an ordinary person's. Although it was not difficult to get money, it would take time. Moreover, his heart was filled with intense longing for his parents and younger brother, leaving him with no interest in other matters. After some thought, he decided to borrow some money from Tang Lin first, and deal with it after finding his parents and younger brother.

Would borrowing money make him feel awkward and embarrassed?

Xiao Fan didn't have these feelings, for what hadn't he seen or experienced in that immortal world? After five thousand years of life, he had become indifferent to everything. What others considered embarrassing was just a trivial matter to him.

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Tang Lin fell silent for a moment, but soon smiled and said, "Alright, no problem. How much do you need?"

"Not too much, a couple of thousand will do!" Xiao Fan said calmly.

Tang Lin nodded, turned to her car, and bent down to take out her wallet, revealing a beautiful curve of her buttocks. She took out several bills and walked back to hand them to Xiao Fan, saying, "This is all the cash I have on me. Do you think this is enough? If not, I can go to the bank ahead and withdraw more!"

"No, this is enough. Thank you!" Xiao Fan smiled.

"Xiao Fan!" Tang Lin sighed again, then handed him a business card with a look of pity in her eyes, saying, "It seems you're not doing well now. If you don't have a job at the moment, I have positions available, such as sales or security. I can arrange them for you, and I'll try to give you a higher salary. What do you think?"

"Thank you, I'll consider it seriously. If things get really tough, I'll definitely come to you!" Xiao Fan replied with a smile, not at all angry at Tang Lin's offer.

"Alright!"

Seeing that Xiao Fan had no intention of coming, Tang Lin frowned slightly but didn't say anything more. She just shook her head lightly, turned, and walked to the roadside, getting into her car.

"Xiao Fan, I still have some work to do at the company. If you have no other business, I'll be on my way!" Tang Lin said from inside the car.

"Alright, drive carefully!" Xiao Fan nodded.

"Okay!" Tang Lin smiled. She was about to start the car but seemed to think of something and stopped. She rolled down the window and said to Xiao Fan, "Oh, right, Xiao Fan. Next Saturday evening, there's a five-year reunion for our class at the 'Yiren Zui' Hotel near our school. Many classmates have confirmed they will attend. Will you be there?"

"A five-year reunion?" Xiao Fan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure, if I have time, I'll be there!"

"Great, see you then!"

"See you then!"

After they said their goodbyes, Xiao Fan got up and walked away, heading towards the distance.

Tang Lin drove towards her company. She turned her head slightly and looked at Xiao Fan's increasingly small figure in the rearview mirror, sighing softly, "Sigh, I never thought Xiao Fan would end up like this. He's probably one of the worst off in the class now."

"Back in school, he and Zhang Qingyun were a big topic, and even the class director knew they didn't get along. Now, in society, Zhang Qingyun is the best off in the class, envied by everyone. In contrast, Xiao Fan has to borrow money to live, poor and destitute. The difference is really too great. Time really can change everything!"

"It's not just that he's poor, but he's also stubborn. He won't accept job opportunities, truly suffering for the sake of his pride!"

"Fortunately, I didn't choose him back then and didn't waste any time or feelings on him. Otherwise, I would definitely regret it now!" Tang Lin muttered to herself, then shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. She stepped on the gas, and the car sped forward.

After parting ways with Tang Lin, Xiao Fan took the money and first went to a barber shop to get a haircut. Then he bought a set of ordinary but well-fitting clothes. After tidying up, he looked much more normal. He then asked passersby and, after a long search, finally found the police station near his old home.

But!

"What? You mean my parents and younger brother's household registration has been canceled, and they moved to the United States a year ago?" Xiao Fan smiled bitterly upon hearing the fat lady's words.

"Yes, that's what the information here shows!" the fat lady nodded.

Xiao Fan felt helpless but also somewhat relieved!

This must be due to his younger brother, Xiao Wen!

Xiao Wen had always been a top student, ranking first in the school every year. Before Xiao Fan's 'disappearance' five years ago, Xiao Wen had called to say he was preparing for the TOEFL. Now that he knew they had moved to the United States, it seemed Xiao Wen had passed the TOEFL.

"United States?"

Xiao Fan was hesitant. He wanted to fly to the United States immediately, but he needed a passport and other relevant documents, as well as a considerable amount of money, none of which he could currently obtain.

"This is not easy to handle. I shouldn't trouble Tang Lin. I'll go to Jiangzhou City to find the leader. His father has many connections and can definitely help me get a new household registration and ID card, and then I can apply for a passport and other travel documents!" Xiao Fan thought to himself.

He left the police station, took a taxi, and headed straight to the train station, planning to take a train to Jiangzhou City to find the leader.

But after waiting in a long queue and finally reaching the ticket counter, he learned from the ticket seller that he needed an ID card to buy a train ticket. Not just train tickets, but long-distance bus tickets, plane tickets, and all other forms of transportation required an ID card to purchase.

Xiao Fan was helpless. His household registration had been canceled long ago, so he had no ID card. How could he go to Jiangzhou City?

After some thought, it seemed that only a taxi did not require any documents. But when he asked, Jiangzhou City was about 500 to 600 kilometers away from Huahai City, and no driver would go without being paid 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.

Looking at Tang Lin's business card in his hand, Xiao Fan pondered for a moment and then took a taxi back to Tang Lin's company to find her again.
