Chapter 10: What Are You Doing?

Li Muchen was somewhat surprised.

The girl seemed completely unaffected by his Evil Qi, and if anything, she looked even more radiant.

Involuntarily, he gripped the $1 Coin in his suit pocket — she had forcefully kissed him upon their first meeting, gave him $1, and said the rest would be repaid next time they met.

He hadn't expected to see her again so soon.

He was curious to see what this audacious young girl would offer him as repayment.

In fact, the moment Li Muchen entered the venue, Lu Sheng sensed his presence.

Glancing up, through the bustling crowd, Lu Sheng's gaze found the man in the corner.

The man seated in a wheelchair had his right hand resting on the armrest, with a bodyguard standing respectfully behind him.

Despite sitting, his tall stature was evident; judging by his long legs, he must have been at least 185cm tall.

His high-end custom-made black pinstripe suit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and despite his exceedingly handsome face, his eyes were dark and deep.

His entire being emitted a ruthless aura, his presence cold and powerful, intimidating to all who saw him.

Indeed, being born engulfed in Evil Qi, one either dies young or is among the best of humanity. Even without knowing his identity, it was evident he was an absolute big shot.

Lu Sheng tilted her head, her gaze lingering on the man's long legs underneath the pure black suit trousers.

—So he was disabled.

She had not realized it when she first met him sitting in a car, and she had been too weak at the time.

Feeling the girl's gaze, Li Muchen's lips tightened slightly, and his eyes grew instantly colder.

...She was looking at his legs.

And staring resolutely.

So, was she like everyone else, harboring a discriminatory look because of his disabled legs?

Just as Li Muchen's brow furrowed, the next second, the girl suddenly made her way through the crowd towards him.

Initially, everyone's attention had been drawn to Lu Sheng, but her movement now made them notice the man sitting in the dim corner.

Many faces showed expressions of horror.

Li Muchen was also at the gathering!

The Li Family held insurmountable power in Jiang City, unmatched by any other family. Li Muchen, the family's sole heir, was a household name.

However, what caused fear in everyone was not Li Muchen's wealth and power, but rather Old Mr. Li's daunting aura akin to that of the King of Hell himself.

Whether it was the man's expressionless face or his formidable presence, it clearly broadcasted four words—[Strangers Keep Away].

There were rumors in Jiang City that apart from Li Muchen's assistant, anyone who dared to approach within one meter of Li Muchen would be tossed out by the bodyguards.

Once, a woman had tried to get close to Li Muchen, dreaming of becoming Mrs. Li. Before she could even reach him, a glaring gun was pointed directly at her, scaring the beauty into collapsing and weeping on the spot.

After that incident, the most powerful tycoon bachelor in Jiang City was no longer approached by any woman; some would even hurry to hide at the sight of him.

Who would dare get close? Even if following this Mister meant having more money than one could spend in eight lifetimes, what's more important, money or life?

Whispers in Jiang City's elite circles suggested that Li Muchen surely had been injured there too in the car accident, rendering him impotent. His avoidance of women was to prevent the truth from spreading.

Others said that Li Muchen was a psychological deviant—aloof by day, he would abduct people to his basement by night for bondage and whipping.

The word was that the man was a scary character with many rumors to his name, and the general consensus was to stay far away from this Mister, lest one not even know how they died.

But this newly acknowledged illegitimate daughter of the Lu Family seemed truly fearless from ignorance.

As everyone watched Lu Sheng walk directly towards Li Muchen, they all widened their eyes in anticipation.

—Now this was going to be interesting.

In fact, as soon as Lu Sheng moved his way, the bodyguard frowned, subconsciously preparing to intercept her.

Li Muchen, however, kept his eyes on the advancing girl and slightly raised his hand to signal the bodyguard to step back.

"I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."

Lu Sheng stood in front of Li Muchen's wheelchair, her eyes curving into a smile, a hint of laughter in her eyes.

As Li Muchen saw Lu Sheng's face clearly, even his usually unflappable eyes showed a touch of surprise.

When they first met the evening before, the girl was in a mess, dirty from head to toe, and he had mistaken her for a beggar.

But now, her bearing seemed so noble, her beauty bewitching.

This stark contrast to the day before was even more striking and memorable than seeing just her current state.

Li Muchen said nothing, his aura remaining as cold and hard as ever, his eyes and brow filled with a severe chill.

Where a timid girl would likely be trembling with fear by now, Lu Sheng seemed oblivious to the man's sternness, no trace of fear on her face.

Tang Yiyi couldn't help but comment from within the crowd.

"I mean, has this Lu Sheng gone mad? Attending a banquet for the first time and she dares to head straight for Old Mr. Li, she really has no fear of death!"

"She even dares to strike up a conversation with Old Mr. Li, in my opinion, in the next second, the bodyguard will throw her out!"

More than just striking up a conversation.

Seeing Li Muchen not respond, Lu Sheng actually bent down and extended her delicate finger to poke his leg, "Your legs... what happened?"

Lu Sheng blinked, seemingly having asked a completely normal question.

However, everyone at the banquet, including the bodyguard behind Li Muchen, was left gobsmacked.

Damn, did this girl have a death wish?

No one had ever dared to treat Li Muchen this way, nor asked such a direct question to his face.

It was well known that the topic of his disability was taboo, and touching it meant death.

Li Muchen took a deep breath and suddenly spoke coldly, uttering two words: "...Car accident."

So it was caused by external injury.

Lu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly, and the next second she performed an even more shocking act—she placed her hand directly on the man's thigh, beginning to gently stroke it.

The man's thigh was still firm with muscle, not limp or weak, indicating that despite always sitting in a wheelchair, he had maintained his exercise and rehabilitation routine.

The paralysis was likely due to nerve damage in the legs from the car accident; if she had abundant Soul Power, she might have been able to heal it directly.

But given her current state, she could at most restore some sense to him, so Lu Sheng could not help but narrow her eyes.

She continued to feel towards the inner thigh, and just as her hand was about to reach a deeper area, the silent man suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Li Muchen lifted his eyes, his voice low and husky, "What... are you doing?"
