Even Batman had received the news that Kane had been killed, and he was puzzled.
"Poison Ivy? They're really that strong now?"
"Am I going to have to add some new equipment?"
The next morning, Lin Chen and Harley had breakfast together.
First, he sent Harley to the police villa, where she was going to set up her room.
Lin Chen then headed to the Southern District Police Station by himself.
As he entered the gate, many detectives greeted him energetically:
"Good morning, Master!"
"Master, bless me with a peach blossom charm!"
"Master, may I ask for a lucky charm!"
A female detective pushed through the crowd, eyes sparkling."Master, you shocked those three rogue lawyers in the courtroom yesterday. You're amazing! I was completely captivated all of a sudden!"
Lin Chen waved his hands, smiling."Everyone, I just brought breakfast for Jill, that's all."
Many of the female detectives cried out:"Why does Detective Jill get all the attention?!"
"Handsome and powerful Taoist Priest, give me half! No, just one day!"
Finally, Lin Chen squeezed through the crowd and entered Jill's office.
He saw Jill leisurely sitting at her desk and said, annoyed,"I brought you breakfast, and you don't even care about me!"
Jill rolled her eyes."Aren't you very popular?"
She tossed a newspaper at Lin Chen.
The front page headline screamed:
"Legal Evergreen Cloth 07 Lang Is Actually the Old Aquaman!""Secrets Hidden in Old Aquaman's Pocket""Justice Chief Lin Exposes His Hypocrisy!""Lin Daochang cleverly orchestrates lawyer infighting, convicting the demon Kane!"
Lin Chen smiled."I didn't expect to be on the front page."
Jill picked up the breakfast dumplings he had brought, chewing slowly, savoring every bite. She divided each dumpling into three careful portions, clearly enjoying them.
"Tell me honestly," she said between bites, "where did you go last night?"
"Speak clearly. I was sleeping — you come along, and Harley can testify — I really was sleeping."
"Sleeping? Was that all?"
"Cough… what do you mean? You didn't know what happened last night?"
Jill blushed and buried her head in her food.
Lin Chen fiddled with his phone."Let me borrow your office for a live broadcast."
He opened the live broadcast room. The number of fans had grown tremendously — over a million and still climbing.
As soon as the stream started, 100,000 people flooded in. Soon it hit 200,000. The live viewer growth was terrifying.
The chat exploded with messages:
"I came to see the priest!""I watched the Taoist priest in court yesterday — my blood boiled!""SWAT is that thong when he came out — my excitement peaked!""I can't wait to beat that old rascal!""What did I miss? I was fighting monsters yesterday!"
One netizen named Nini posted:"Almost missed last night. He destroyed the weaponized steel armor built by the elders and took the company back. Finally, some free time today."
Another said:"The Taoist priest is like Zhuge Liang in the ancient Xia Kingdom's Three Kingdoms era."
Hei Bat, clearly a Three Kingdoms fan, posted:"I feel like Zhou Yu — even the eaves vanish into ashes as he talks and laughs."
The super-killer girl wrote:"How fun it is to fight — to quarrel with someone and really get into it! You've truly fallen for this stinky Taoist priest!"
Wonder Woman commented:"I think he did the right thing this time."
Ida Wang jumped in, recruiting online:"Lin Daochang, you'd fit perfectly in our organization. Join us."
Lin Chen smiled."Thank you for your concern, Miss Wang. But I don't want a job — I just want to be a salted fish."
A sharp-eyed netizen asked:"Taoist, where are you streaming? Not from your store?"
Lin Chen turned the camera to Jill, still eating dumplings."This is Detective Jill's office. I just brought her breakfast."
The chat went wild:
"Master, be kind — Harley knows about it.""So sweet! If such a handsome boyfriend brought me breakfast, I'd melt!""Upstairs, that's because your boyfriend put too much sugar — you'd die of sugar poisoning.""Detective Jill looks gorgeous in her uniform."
Lin Chen smiled."Okay, beauty talk is done. Not much more to say. Let's start as usual — to do fortune-telling, deduct one."
He went full screen and randomly selected a netizen named "Sweet Mom" to operate on.
On screen appeared a white woman in her thirties, slightly overweight, with average features and a faint smile.
"Hello, Taoist priest. My name is Linda. My online name is Sweet Mom. I'm your loyal fan."
Lin Chen smiled."Sweet Mom, you must have a child."
"Yes, Taoist priest. I have a daughter," Linda said with pain in her voice."She's been sick since childhood, and now she's a teenager. She still can't walk and needs medicine every day."
Lin Chen asked:"And her father?"
Linda's face twisted with sorrow."My ex-husband was an alcoholic and violent. After Eva was born, I couldn't handle it. I took Eva and left. We divorced, and he never cared about us again."
Jill glanced at Lin Chen."Men really are unreliable these days, Linda. You've suffered a lot."
Linda nodded."Thank you."
Lin Chen continued:"Linda, it must have been hard raising your child all these years. But it's fortunate that you had your parents to help."
Linda furrowed her brow."When Eva was one, my parents thought I was a burden and kicked me out. Eva and I almost died, but fortunately, kind people helped us."
She didn't wait for Lin Chen to speak and continued:"But my Eva is still very sick. Her forehead is heavy, and I can't leave work to take care of her."
The chat exploded with sympathy:
"So pitiful, I cried hearing this.""Life is so hard for a single mother, especially when the child is sick.""It's all scumbags!""There are so many scumbags these days!""This Sweet Mom has 003 live broadcasts — many fans gave her rewards.""She belongs to our community. The child is really sick. The house was built with donations from everyone.""I'll pay attention and give her a reward when I can."
Linda's eyes darkened with despair."Women's lives are too hard. Right now, all I want is enough money to treat my daughter."
Lin Chen frowned slightly. He could sense she was selling her misery in the live room.
Calmly, he activated the Water Mirror Phase Human Technique and murmured:"Is she really in trouble? You're very bold."
He smiled at the camera."Linda, I understand your suffering. By the way, why did you come to me?"
Jill glanced at him strangely, thinking: Professional fake smile mode activated…
Linda wiped away tears after laying out her story."Master, I want to see if my daughter Eva can be cured."
Lin Chen stared at her."Linda, are you sure you want me to tell your fortune?"
Linda hesitated for a moment. She had seen Lin Chen's news yesterday and had come to the live room eagerly, not believing he could actually tell fortunes."Master, I am definitely here for the fortune-telling."
Lin Chen didn't reply but continued operating on his phone.
The chat erupted again:
"I'm noticing something — the Taoist priest's tone is unusual.""I think there's something off about this Linda. She's selling her misery immediately upon arrival, maybe afraid the police will notice.""Based on Taoist priest practices, this Linda has a big problem."
