C was online as well. The moment Li Hanchen saw people questioning Mu Sheng about her gender, he gave her Endless Stars and forcibly cleared the comments.
However, the viewers were simply so curious that the moment they were able to comment, they raised their suspicion about Mu Sheng’s gender.
After Mu Sheng was done gaming, she found time to check out the comments.
She raised her brow when she saw them. People always wondered what her gender was, be it now or in the past.
It seemed as though everyone automatically felt it was impossible for women to have such success. Only men were capable of conducting research, designing cross-sea bridges, or coming in champion for some gaming competition.
Mu Sheng turned on the microphone and said, “Stop asking. I am a woman.”
Mu Sheng turned off the microphone and continued to game.
The moment Mu Sheng finished her sentence, she started to game. The comments exploded after everyone heard Mu Sheng’s crisp clear and slightly cool voice.
The platform came with a live recording function. The instant she finished her sentence, her voice appeared on all the major gaming forums.
Clips of her brilliant maneuvers also got sent to the forums.
[Wtf? Are you for real? I don’t believe you. How could a woman game so well? You must be lying.]
[This is so fake. There is no way God Mu is a girl. Girls always act vulnerable and beg for help when they game. Male live telecasters are getting so disgusting these days. For the sake of attracting rich fans, they are shameless enough to pretend to be girls.]
[What’s your problem? So what if she is a girl? In this time and age, how could you say Mu is pretending to be a girl just because Mu is good? I am completely speechless.]
Most of the people watching the channel and reading the gaming forums felt the same way.
After all, in the history of gaming, there were very few female professional gamers.
In the live stream industry, even though there were telecasters like Jiang Rou’er, most of them were average gamers and relied on the support of male fans. They usually played assist and sang or danced to gain a following. It was rare for female live telecasters to truly use gaming skills to survive in the industry.
Moreover, Mu Sheng could beat most of the male live telecasters at the game any day. It was unheard of in the industry for a woman to be capable of pulling this off.
Mu Sheng shook her head as she looked at the viewers’ comments.
She had already told them the truth, but no one believed her, so there was nothing she could do.
Although Mu Sheng had stopped telecasting, the conversation about her gender continued at a frenzied pace in the platform’s forum until it became a hot topic on social media. Everyone was curious about her gender.
Jiang Rou’er and her team watched as Mu Sheng’s popularity kept soaring. Her employees couldn’t help feeling angry. “How is this possible? How could a girl be capable of such a gaming technique? I am sure he is pretending to be a woman so that he can steal your popularity.”
Jiang Rou’er rubbed her forehead and felt restless. Call it a woman’s instinct, but she had a feeling Mu might really be a woman.
Since women tended to get competitive among themselves, she felt even more upset thinking about it. “It doesn’t matter what you say. His popularity is very high. If this goes on, I will lose my status as a main live telecaster.”
“Don’t worry. As long as he is human, he will have a weakness,” consoled Jiang Rou’er’s employee. “Considering how cocky he gets, plenty of people want to take him down. Let’s just wait for them to fight and make our move when the time is ripe.”
“Uh huh.” Jiang Rou’er nodded. “I must become Cat Live’s live telecaster of the year.”
“That goes without saying. Don’t worry.”

Meanwhile, at the Mu residence, an extravagantly dressed woman sat on the couch drinking tea. The moment she heard the sound of footsteps, she raised her head and a smile appeared on her well-kept-up face. “Xiaoxiao, are you back? How did your little chat with Li Ming go? Why didn’t you spend a bit more time there?”
Mu Xiao removed the scarf on her shoulders as she sat down beside Wang Man. “Mom, what are you saying? It’s getting late. If I don’t come home, people are going to gossip.”
Wang Man touched Mu Xiao’s forehead. “You silly lass. What’s wrong with gossip? The moment people start talking about it, you will get engaged sooner.”
Sometimes, women had to be a little shameless. Back in the day, if she did not shamelessly become a mistress, she would never have entered through the doors of the Mu family and become Mrs. Mu.
“Mom.” Mu Xiao spoke shyly. “Oh yes. Ming already promised to attend your birthday banquet before discussing the engagement party.”
“Wonderful.” Wang Man smiled as she nodded. “Once we get the date fixed, I won’t have to keep worrying about it.”
“Also…” A sinister look swept across Mu Xiao’s eyes. “What about Mu Sheng?”
The moment Mu Xiao brought up Mu Sheng, a look of disdain appeared on Wang Man’s face. “I have already sent word. I am sure she will come. The moment she comes over, it isn’t up to her to decide whether she wants to be a donor.”
Mu Sheng desperately wanted to come back home. Now that the opportunity was knocking, she would definitely come back.
Even if Mu Sheng had wings, there was no escape for her the moment they closed the doors behind her.
An evil look gradually appeared on Wang Man’s face. Back in the day, Mu Sheng’s biological mother broke Wang Man’s finger. Now she was going to harvest Mu Sheng’s organs to slowly make up for her suffering.

First thing in the morning, Li Ming’s assistant called while Li Ming was still sleeping.
“Young Master, Li Hanchen isn’t living in the streets. He is living in a villa located in the city.”
“What?” Li Ming had just woken up, so he was still a little groggy and didn’t quite understand what his assistant was saying.
“I have sent the pictures to your email. Please check it.”
Li Ming opened his mailbox and saw pictures of Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng walking side by side in front of a lovely three-story villa with a garden.
It was far better than the place that the Li family offered Li Hanchen out of charity.
Li Ming frowned. “How could this happen? Whose house is it?”
“We were unable to get the specifics. We only know it belongs to a mysterious man from Continent M.” The assistant reported the situation to Li Ming candidly.
“Keep investigating,” said Li Ming before he hung up the phone.
Li Ming had lost all sleepiness as he pondered with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Li Hanchen couldn’t possibly own the villa, right? If Li Hanchen did, then what was he trying to hide? What did he want to do?
