Rebirth: My Home Has Become a Gathering Place for Young Women with a "Crazy" Spirit

Hearing the students' murmurs from the podium, Shen Kaiyang's face darkened, and he said in a slightly harsher tone, "Alright! I have records of every penny spent on class funds, and I also have receipts. There's no need to discuss it anymore. What you need to do now is each of you pay one hundred yuan. Of course, those who don't want to participate don't have to pay; it's not mandatory."

After he finished speaking, he projected his QR code onto the teaching TV in front of him, so that everyone could scan the code to pay.

He had a list, and every time he received a new person, he would put a checkmark in front of their name.

Several class committee members cooperated and took the lead in scanning the QR code to transfer money to Shen Kaiyang. Later, everyone else also compromised and transferred money to him one after another.

Finally, Shen Kaiyang glanced at the list, then at Qin Lang, who was sitting there motionless, as well as Xu Han, Ruan Zhihuan, and Su Yue.

Only a few of them are left.

"Qin Lang, are you sure you don't want to go?" Shen Kaiyang wanted to maintain his gentlemanly image, so instead of questioning Xu Han and the other girls first, he decided to target Qin Lang.

At this moment, all eyes in the class turned to Qin Lang. Shen Kaiyang had just said that, so if he didn't go, it would be clearly going against him.

Xu Han, Ruan Zhihuan, and Su Yue also looked at Qin Lang. As for whether or not to attend the class reunion, they didn't care. They just wanted to see what Qin Lang thought. If Qin Lang went, they would go; if Qin Lang didn't go, they weren't interested in going.

Qin Lang slowly stood up, took the receipt, and walked towards the podium.

Someone muttered under their breath, "What's Qin Lang up to? Is he going to go head-to-head with the class monitor?"

Qin Lang walked up to the podium, but didn't rush to speak. Instead, he looked down at the receipt in his hand, then looked up and calmly focused his gaze on Shen Kaiyang's face.

He waved the receipt and slowly said to Shen Kaiyang, "Class monitor, according to the invoice date on this receipt, it says 10:30 AM on the 20th. You bought twenty notebooks and ten USB drives, spending eight hundred, right?"

Shen Kaiyang frowned slightly, glancing subconsciously at the receipt in Qin Lang's hand, his tone somewhat impatient: "Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Qin Lang didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned around, faced the whole class, and said in a clear and steady voice, "Please look at the calendar on your phones. What day of the week is the 20th? It's 10:30 AM. What are we doing?"

The classroom fell silent for a moment, then someone realized what was happening.

"The 20th was last Tuesday, at 10:30, which was our class's PE class time!"

"Yes, yes, it was PE class! We played a basketball game that day."

"I remember now! That day, the class monitor played a half-court game with Li Haoran and the others. He was playing point guard, and when he was dribbling, someone intercepted the ball, and he almost got into a fight on the spot."

"That's right, that's right. I was watching from the sidelines. The class monitor was so angry that he threw the ball."

The basketball game was scheduled for 10:30 AM on Tuesday, and that's the time on your receipt as well. The implication is obvious.

The murmurs grew louder, and more and more people began to recall the scene from that day. All eyes turned to Shen Kaiyang again, and the doubt in their eyes gradually turned into scrutiny.

Shen Kaiyang's expression visibly changed, but he quickly regained his composure, forced a forced smile, and argued, "So what? I bought it after school. Isn't it normal for the shopkeeper to write the wrong date and time? In small shops like this, receipts are just written haphazardly."

After he finished speaking, he crossed his arms and looked at Qin Lang with feigned composure, thinking, "Little brat, do you think you can control me?"

Qin Lang looked at Shen Kaiyang's stubbornness and smiled slightly, exuding an aura of complete control.

"Class monitor, I knew you'd say that." Qin Lang's voice was calm and unhurried. He took out his phone from his pocket, waved it in front of Shen Kaiyang, and said, "So, I just checked."

He tapped his phone screen, which displayed a page for querying company information using Tianyancha.

"This receipt has a red stamp on it." Qin Lang pointed to the blurry red mark in the lower right corner of the receipt. "It says 'Liaoda Jinguang Store' on it. I found the store's registered phone number through Tianyancha and then called it."

Shen Kaiyang's pupils contracted slightly, his expression changed drastically, and he had a bad feeling. He panicked a little.

Qin Lang spoke slowly, continuing, "Guess what? The person who answered the phone said that it's not a stationery store at all."

The classroom fell completely silent, everyone waiting for Qin Lang to say something next.

"That person told me they were from 'Speedy Internet Cafe' on the back street of the school. The person who answered the phone was the internet cafe's manager." Qin Lang's eyes held a hint of amusement as he looked at Shen Kaiyang, whose face was ashen, beside him.

Shen Kaiyang's shoulders visibly twitched, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Lang.

Qin Lang didn't give him time to react and continued, "I also asked the internet cafe manager to check, and our class monitor, Shen Kaiyang, has spent a total of three thousand yuan in the VIP rooms of their Speedy Internet Cafe over the past month."

As soon as Qin Lang finished speaking, the classroom erupted in chaos.

"An internet cafe? You spent three thousand yuan a month? Wait! Was that receipt issued by the internet cafe?"

"Holy crap, the class monitor took the class funds to go online?"

"A VIP room? I've never even been able to afford one, and he's using our class funds to enjoy VIP treatment?"

"They embezzled class funds and even forged receipts to cheat us. This is outrageous!"

Shen Kaiyang's face turned white then red, then red then white again. A fine layer of sweat had appeared on his face.

Qin Lang didn't stop. He handed the phone to Shen Kaiyang, opened the dial pad, and said calmly, "I've already saved this number. Class monitor, call it now, put it on speakerphone, and we'll confront that internet cafe manager in front of the whole class, okay?"

Shen Kaiyang stared blankly at the phone Qin Lang handed him, his face ashen. He didn't dare to take it.

At first, when Qin Lang mentioned the Speedy Internet Cafe, he thought Qin Lang was bluffing him; he hadn't even called the internet cafe manager. But when Qin Lang mentioned the VIP rooms and the 3,000 yuan charge, he became frightened. How could he know so much? Unless… that call was real.

Shen Kaiyang was torn. Should he call or not? If he did, the internet cafe manager would answer, confirming that he had spent three thousand yuan. But if he didn't call, it would be seen as a guilty conscience, which would be tantamount to admitting guilt.

All eyes in the class were on him. At first, their gazes were filled with doubt, but they gradually turned into disappointment, disdain, and anger.

Shen Kaiyang closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, but he didn't answer the phone for a long time.

By this time, some people were getting impatient. "Ahem, just start hitting already!"

Half a minute later, Shen Kaiyang opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "...No need to fight anymore."
