The car sped along the street, the deafening roar of the engine keeping time with Lin Yuan's inner turmoil.

He leaned back in his seat with a slight smile on his lips, his eyes peering through the car window at the rapidly receding street scene, as if deep in thought.

Just then, his phone vibrated. Lin Yuan frowned slightly and raised his hand to press the answer button.

The familiar, excited voice of my good friend Wei Minghao came from the other end of the phone.

"Lin Yuan, you bastard, look at the news! Jianhui Medical Technology stock hit the daily limit! I've made a killing this time, I can't believe it!"

Wei Minghao's voice was full of excitement, and his joy could be conveyed through the phone.

Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, his tone calm yet containing a barely perceptible hint of confidence.

"Yes, I already know what I'm doing."

"Wow, I knew you had this planned all along! Otherwise, why would you have prepared in advance and let me set up the foreign exchange settlement? That was a brilliant move!"

Wei Minghao's voice was filled with undisguised surprise and admiration.

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, his gaze drifting gently as his thoughts wandered into the distance.

He dismissed it lightly: "It was just good luck."

"Luck my ass!"

Wei Minghao laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "You must have inside information, otherwise how could you be so accurate? But don't worry, I know the rules, I won't go around telling everyone. Thanks to you this time, I made a lot of money. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, it's on me!"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile curving his lips: "Alright, see you tonight then."

"Okay!"

Wei Minghao's voice was full of excitement, but then his tone turned gloating, "By the way, have you heard? All the students in our class have been screwed over by Li Changlong!"

Lin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of contempt flashed across his eyes.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, his voice laced with a hint of mockery: "Oh? How exactly did he manage to get them into this trap?"

On the other end of the phone, Wei Minghao burst into hearty laughter, his voice full of glee: "It's all because of that so-called 'potential stock' he so strongly recommended last time! Those college classmates all listened to him and bought shares. And what happened? The stock price plummeted like a kite with a broken string, and now they've lost everything, crying for their parents. Haha, they really brought it on themselves!"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, and the image of Li Changlong's smug look involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

He sneered again, his words carrying a barely perceptible hint of mockery.

"That Li Changlong is used to being arrogant. Sooner or later, he'll suffer an even worse fate."

Wei Minghao chimed in on the other end of the phone, "Exactly! I didn't believe him at first, but I listened to you, otherwise I would have lost money too. Your actions saved my life!"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Let's talk about it tonight, I have something else to do."

"Okay, see you tonight!"

Wei Minghao hung up the phone, but Lin Yuan remained leaning back in his seat, his eyes deep in thought.

What am I still hoping for?

Lin Yuan muttered to himself, Wei Minghao and Lin Yuan had been friends since childhood, their relationship was more than just that of college classmates.

He would definitely help in this situation.

The car continued speeding down the street.

The surge in Jianhui Medical Technology's stock price was merely a notification from the system.

The system, this mysterious entity, has played a crucial role in his life ever since he first received the newbie gift pack.

This notification was merely a path paved by the system for him to reach the pinnacle of wealth.

As expected, Lin Yuan opened his phone, swiped his finger across the screen, and opened the class group chat.

The notification sounds of group messages rose and fell, heralding a chaotic feast.

His eyes swept across the screen. The group chat had exploded, with more than a dozen messages densely packed together, almost bursting the screen. The angry words were like burning gunpowder, ready to explode at any moment.

"Li Changlong, you bastard! I've lost everything!"

Zhang Qiang's curses were the first to jump out, his tone filled with intense anger and despair, as if he wanted to shatter the phone screen.

As he cursed, he also sent an angry emoji in the group chat. The little figure on the emoji was waving its fist, exactly like his current mood.

"Didn't you say this stock was a sure thing? I even invested the money I saved for a house in it, what am I going to do now?"

Wang Dazhu's voice followed closely behind, filled with resentment and grievance, as if he were about to burst into tears.

He even posted a photo of himself holding his head in the group chat, his face full of despair and helplessness.

"Li Changlong, if you don't pay me back, I'll go to your workplace and cause trouble!"

Zhao Tiezhu's threat instantly heightened the tension; he was already prepared to go to the debtor's house to collect the debt.

As he spoke, he also sent a location, which was the address of Li Changlong's company.

Then he said, "I can go anytime!"

Lin Yuan glanced at the flood of messages on the screen, a more pronounced smile curving his lips, a hint of disdain flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He leaned lazily against the sports car seat, his fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel, the rhythm carrying a hint of barely perceptible mockery.

"What a bunch of fools whose minds are blinded by greed. They deserve to fall into the hands of a villain like Li Changlong."

On the other hand, Li Changlong had become the target of everyone's criticism in the group chat, with endless insults and abuse.
