Song Chenhao's words surprised me somewhat.

He's already lived a second life, with a soul in his twenties residing in his body. I never imagined he'd be so desperate over something like this, resorting to using the secret of his second life to threaten me.

However, even if he said it out loud, no one would believe him, and his wishful thinking was likely to fall through.

I stood up, propped myself up on the table, and leaned closer to whisper, "Go ahead and say it if you dare! Once you say it, I can tell everyone that you lost a lot of money because of the stock market crash, which caused you to become mentally unstable. Don't worry, for the sake of us being classmates, I will definitely pay for you to go to the best mental hospital."

A smirk flashed in my eyes. Once you're in a mental hospital, getting out won't be an easy thing.

After all, it's difficult for anyone to prove they don't have a mental illness. Staying there for a long time can gradually lead to a distorted personality, even if you don't have a mental illness.

"Jiang Wanying, we've had a friendship for so many years, do you really have to be so ruthless?" His eyes flickered slightly as he began to play the emotional card, "Actually, I've always had feelings for you, I just really wanted to prove myself."

I had already guessed that the reason for his change of attitude was that he knew he couldn't recover his funds in a short time, and even if he did, it would only be the principal.

He borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates, which compounded daily and had already reached an astronomical figure.

At this point, whether he can return the principal depends on whether those who lent him the money are willing to do so, as they are ruthless.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" I was gradually losing patience and didn't want to watch him continue acting.

Song Chenhao took a deep breath, his expression remaining calm, but his hands quietly clenched into fists. "All my money was invested in the stock market. Due to some problems, I can't cash it out for the time being. Once this misunderstanding is resolved, the police said they will return my stocks with interest."

"I'm short on cash right now. We've been friends for so many years, wouldn't it be better if I took you with me to make money together?"

He became more and more composed and eager as he spoke, as if he had everything under control. "As long as you are willing to invest, I can start a company with you, and you can take the majority of the shares."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer. Song Chenhao was treating me like a fool. I already knew about the stock market incident. He thought he could keep it a secret.

If I were to invest a large sum of money in him, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone forever.

I stared at him coldly for several seconds without saying a word. He gradually became a little uncomfortable. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Stop pretending!" I ripped off his mask and said mercilessly, "You think I don't know you invested so much money in the stock market? Not only do I know, but I also know that those stocks have problems. You borrowed all that money from loan sharks, didn't you?"

After I finished speaking, the other students in the class heard me and immediately exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Song Chenhao with curiosity.

His expression tightened, and he instinctively retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I earned all that money."

Although I don't know exactly how much money he made during this period, I can still make a rough estimate. I explained my estimate one by one, and then mentioned that he bought a property.

Based on this calculation, he was already living beyond his means, so how could he possibly have a large sum of money to buy stocks?

“A friend of mine told me that you borrowed a large sum of money at high interest rates and promised to pay it back within a week. I wouldn’t dare invest in someone like you. Who knows if the money I invest in you will actually get back.”

After saying that, I ignored his ugly expression and continued, "Besides, you know perfectly well how you treated me before."

Song Chenhao's expression changed repeatedly, and the gazes of his classmates made him feel even more uncomfortable. I know he has a strong sense of self-esteem, and he likes to save face and show off.

The more praise someone received before, the more discussion they will receive now.

Xiang Jiao had always protected Song Chenhao and had also been involved in stock matters. Because Song Chenhao had made a lot of money in the stock market, she had a blind confidence in him.

Hearing our conversation, and seeing that Song Chenhao didn't refute it, she couldn't help but ask, "School Heartthrob Song, is what she said true? We can't get our stocks back?"

Seeing her pale face, I guessed that she must have invested a lot of money, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted like this.

"Whether we can get the money back in the end depends on whether we can catch all the masterminds behind this. If we can't catch them, everyone's money will be wasted," I said slowly, watching the changes in the expressions on their faces.

Song Chenhao is now completely desperate. After hearing this, Xiang Jiao was the first to step forward and question him about why this happened. She also said that he had promised to make money before, and now that this has happened, she told him to pay up quickly.

The two argued incessantly, and other students who were involved joined in the commotion, with everyone contributing some money.

Xiang Jiao invested the most, and even persuaded her father and mother. If they couldn't get such a large sum of money back, the Xiang family would suffer a huge loss.

Song Chenhao was surrounded by people and questioned. At first, he was flustered and tried to cover it up, but no one was buying it. They made him explain what had happened.

Some people have already taken out their phones to check and found that these stocks have indeed made the news and are currently under investigation.

"Enough!" Song Chenhao suddenly roared, his eyes bloodshot and his expression becoming increasingly ferocious, completely unlike his usual gentle and refined demeanor. "Have you all said enough? Stock investment is inherently about winning and losing. I didn't see you being this eager when you were making money!"

"Since it's a business with both profits and losses, then you have to take responsibility for it yourself. What does it have to do with me?"

With a single sentence, he absolved himself of all responsibility. The students in the class shouted even louder after hearing this, and many of them looked angry and even wanted to take action.

Even the best relationships can deteriorate when interests are involved.

Bian Jiahui watched this scene, not daring to step forward to defend herself. I sat aside, waiting to see what would happen.

Until one of the hot-tempered classmates couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Song Chenhao by the collar, saying, "What did you say? You promised us before that you could definitely help us make money, and you even called yourself a stock market guru. You're a fraud!"

"If you don't return our money today, we'll go to the teacher and have the school expel you, you swindler!"
