"Sigou put it well!"
"Well said! The orphan's whole family is dead! And he still wants to make money by cheating—bah!"
"Sigou is the real good man. Tuan Tuan, after comparing the two, don't you understand yet?"
"I just checked Bixin. His rating has been bombed below 3.0. Hahaha, serves him right."
"That's not all. The comments below are full of people cursing him. How dare he bully our Tuan Tuan? Dream on!"
"That bastard's probably crying himself unconscious in the bathroom right now. Hahaha, serves him right!"
After seeing the fans' comments, Tuan Tuan immediately opened Bixin to check.
Sure enough, every single review beneath Jiang Siming's gaming-companion listing was negative.
A huge number of curses had even alarmed Bixin's higher-ups. They immediately removed Jiang Siming from the recommendations and suspended his account.
Seeing all this, Tuan Tuan was consumed by guilt.
Although Jiang Siming had been accused of cheating, he hadn't caused her any losses.
On the contrary, he had created plenty of entertaining moments for her at the start. Even when she had snapped at him, he hadn't argued back or talked back, and had even refunded the fee.
Yet she had completely ruined his livelihood.
Overwhelmed with guilt, Tuan Tuan's head felt like a lump of paste, and her heart was a jumble of conflicting emotions. She couldn't tell whether they were sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy.
Just then, a reply arrived from the Monitoring Station.
In front of all her viewers, Tuan Tuan opened the email, only to freeze completely.
The email clearly stated: This account showed no abnormalities.
This was the Monitoring Station's reply. The chance of a testing error was one in a million.
So far, no one had ever been wrongfully accused after being tested.
Moreover, Tencent had publicly announced that if a testing error ever occurred, they were willing to compensate the account owner ten million yuan!
When that announcement came out, countless hackers and cheat-making teams sprang into action. They specially created cheats that were extremely difficult to detect, hoping to claim the ten million yuan.
Unfortunately, a year had passed, and no one had ever received that compensation.
"No abnormalities" meant that the other party hadn't used any cheats at all. He hadn't even used a macro built into his mouse!
The scene fell completely silent. Tuan Tuan's usually cheerful Live Stream Room had never been this awkwardly quiet before.
From the streamer to the viewers, not a single person spoke.
The one who finally broke the silence was Tuan Tuan's crying.
She had been streaming for more than half a year, but whether they were old regulars or new viewers, this was the first time they had seen Tuan Tuan break down so completely.
Tuan Tuan had always been carefree, constantly making pig-like squeals, bright and fond of smiling. Yet today, she had started crying—and she was crying so bitterly.
This was the first time since Tuan Tuan could remember that her emotions had gotten so out of control. She cried like a child.
She loved to smile, make a fuss, and shriek like a lunatic, but she absolutely did not like crying.
The fans hurried to comfort her.
"Tuan Tuan, don't cry. Hearing you cry makes me feel awful."
"We wronged him. Turns out he really wasn't using cheats."
"He's so skilled, yet you all cursed him as a cheater. You're as useless as you are, and I'm honestly speechless."
"Tuan Tuan, don't cry. Let's go back to Bixin and restore his rating, then apologize to him."
"You ruined his job. Is apologizing useful now?"
"You people who jump at every rumor—don't rush to pass judgment before you understand what happened, got it?"
The fans' comfort did nothing. Tuan Tuan kept crying, sobbing miserably.
Although she hadn't turned on her camera, everyone could imagine that Tuan Tuan on the other side of the screen must have been in tears like pear blossoms in the rain.
Her true fans were heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do.
Chen Sigou, who had remained silent ever since reading the email, finally spoke.
"Tuan Tuan, stop crying. This wasn't your fault either. I—"
Before he could finish, Tuan Tuan permanently kicked Chen Sigou out of her YY Channel.
Not only that, Tuan Tuan also entered Chen Sigou's Live Stream Room and returned every gift he had deliberately sent her during this period to curry favor with her, down to the last one.
Before leaving, Tuan Tuan posted a barrage message. After Chen Sigou read it, his face turned ashen.
"From today onward, that little bit of friendship between us is over too. I'll say this one last time: I have never liked you. It was all just wishful thinking on your part."
After sending the message, Tuan Tuan apologized to everyone through her tears, then ended the stream and went offline.
In the blink of an eye, Shark Tieba became lively again late that night.
The newly crowned number-one female streamer on Shark, Tuan Tuan, who had nearly ten million Douyin followers, had mistakenly accused an innocent man and cried bitterly out of guilt.
She had also publicly clarified her relationship with the second-rate streamer Chen Sigou and cut off contact with him.
The news was no different from a celebrity scandal, and it quickly spread throughout Shark's streaming circle.
The previous news hadn't even died down yet. The uproar over Dumb Sister's secret heartbreak was still going strong, and now Tuan Tuan had gotten into trouble too.
It was far more serious than Dumb Sister's situation. Tuan Tuan had cried her eyes out during a livestream, while Dumb Sister at least hadn't cried on stream.
Many people were curious and asked about the reason. The fans who had been watching the livestream told them the truth, and the whole matter was revealed.
After hearing this, quite a few netizens curiously went to Bixin to investigate.
They found something unexpected. Some sharp-eyed netizens noticed an anomaly!
In Jiang Siming's gaming-companion profile, they found a screenshot. It was a screenshot of the data for Jiang Siming's main account ID.
The statistics were unremarkable, even somewhat poor.
But what everyone noticed wasn't the score or KDA. It was the ID name in the screenshot!
ming
Quite a few viewers recognized the ID on the spot!
Wasn't this the anonymous expert who was Dumb Sister's rumored boyfriend, the Sniper God expert mentioned by Wei Shen, and even the passerby god Wei Shen had wanted to recruit onto his team?
This discovery was like a bomb stirring up the waters of Shark. The popularity instantly doubled again.
Several pieces of news that had rocked Shark over the past few days had all come from the same person—and he was just a passerby!
Once the stories were connected, the popularity naturally soared.
An absolute expert, Dumb Sister's rumored boyfriend, Wei Shen's recruitment target, and now the voice-actor heartthrob who had made Tuan Tuan cry her eyes out—all of these hot topics had come from the same passerby.
In an instant, the ID ming became Shark's most famous passerby.
He became even more popular than So-and-so Accountant, who had previously made headlines over a legal case, and Boring Bro, who had fraudulently drained Shark of its fish fins.
Those two passersby had long since ended up behind bars, and their fame had come from wildly showering people with gifts.
Ming was completely different. His popularity was clean and wholesome.
Even Shark's higher-ups could no longer sit still. They prepared to invite Jiang Siming to become a streamer on Shark.
If he had been a tycoon, they might not have been confident. But he worked as a gaming companion.
He was willing to work for twenty yuan an hour. If they offered him a decent salary, they believed he would certainly be willing.
Dumb Sister, who was livestreaming that night, naturally received the news as well.
There was no way she could miss it, because her entire screen was being flooded with barrage messages.
"Old hag, you found your boyfriend!"
"Old hag, your husband was falsely accused, and he even lost his job!"
"You've been listless for the past two days, but now you're fine. You found your boyfriend! Happy?"
"One Pair A, your boyfriend was bullied by Tuan Tuan. Go get revenge!"
"Your boyfriend was falsely accused by Tuan Tuan and her fans, and he even lost his job!"
Dumb Sister initially didn't believe the barrage messages. But after her best friend Erqian came over to verify and confirm everything, she immediately picked up her phone and checked Bixin. Sure enough, she found Jiang Siming.
Over the past two days, Erqian had been the one who knew Dumb Sister's condition best. She had been completely absent-minded, practically a walking corpse.
She spaced out while eating, spaced out while walking, spaced out when Erqian took her shopping, and even frequently short-circuited during her livestreams. She clearly had a bad case of lovesickness.
But now that she had found Jiang Siming, a long-missed smile returned to Dumb Sister's face. Yet before long, she grew dejected again.
That was because Jiang Siming's Bixin account had already been banned. Dumb Sister had no way to contact him or place an order.
Fortunately, she was very familiar with Xiao Xian, Bixin's customer-service representative, and obtained Jiang Siming's phone number from her.
But when she called, she discovered that he was already on another call.
