"Hello, Nina. What would you like to do today?" Lin Chen asked, smiling.
Nina spoke slowly, "Master Taoist, I want you to help with Feng Shui for our nursing home. Donations have been shrinking, and it's becoming hard to make ends meet. Many elderly residents are struggling."
"There are also some who are new and may have left without permission because they disliked the conditions," she added.
Lin Chen nodded. "Show me around, Nina."
"Okay, Taoist priest," she replied, walking with her phone to introduce the home.
"Master, our nursing home is large, but we only have about a hundred residents. Some get sick for no clear reason," Nina explained.
"Sick? Could it be hygiene-related?" Lin Chen asked.
Nina shook her head. "Volunteers regularly clean and bathe the residents. That shouldn't be the cause."
Through the live stream, Lin Chen observed the elderly—some seemed healthy, others frail.
"Nina, find an older man who isn't in great condition. I'll assess him and perhaps discover the cause."
Nina pointed to a man in his seventies suffering mild dementia. Lin Chen activated the Water Mirror Phase and frowned.
Netizens in the chat erupted:
"Looking at the priest's face, Nina must've been greened by her husband!"
"Or maybe she gave her husband to someone else…"
Nina laughed nervously. "Friends, I broke up six months ago. I don't even have a boyfriend, let alone a husband!"
Lin Chen waved dismissively. "Friends, it's not what you think. The problem lies with the nursing home itself."
They continued touring. In the back garden, Lin Chen's eyes sparkled, catching the attention of viewers.
The live chat exploded again:
"Yes! Those eyes last night… I dreamed of the Taoist priest, hehe."
"So dirty upstairs! I feel like my eyes are burning."
Jill, watching the broadcast, muttered, "What a pity he didn't make his eyes glow last night…"
Harley Quinn, bringing a pot of tea, teased, "Everyone, you don't understand how happy the Taoist priest's eyes are!"
"Uuuu, you're no longer my pure goddess, Harley."
"Harley, you're the true Versailles!" gushed Lorna.
"Rotten girls, wake up! Women should strive for self-improvement!" Wonder Woman typed wisely.
"No, I will succumb to the Taoist priest's beauty," Poison Ivy admitted.
Suddenly, an elderly woman with glasses and gray hair appeared in the frame.
"Miss Nina, what are you doing?" she asked, frowning.
Nina introduced Lin Chen. "President, this is Dao Master Lin. He's excellent at fortune-telling and Feng Shui."
"Lin Daochang?" the dean said, puzzled. "The fortune-teller who's reputedly accurate?"
"Yes! He even defeated three lawyers in court recently," Nina added.
The dean, Madeleine, smiled warmly. "Hello, Taoist priest. I'm a fan of yours."
Lin Chen performed a physiognomy check and frowned slightly.
"Is she my fan? I really don't dare to be," he muttered.
Madeleine explained, "Our nursing home has 135 residents, some unable to care for themselves. Donations are insufficient, and we hope you can help raise awareness."
Lin Chen smiled. "Of course, but tell me the actual expenses and where the gaps are."
As he began analyzing, pop-ups appeared for viewers:
"He's smiling professionally! The old lady's in danger!"
"Hold tight, I'm so scared!"
Catwoman chimed in: "Master, you can't be too nice to the old lady. Remember last time?"
Madeleine explained, "Our main issue is residents over 80 who cannot care for themselves, and old buildings need renovation."
Lin Chen's expression darkened. "And how do you care for those who cannot care for themselves?"
"Of course we take care of them…" Madeleine's voice faltered under his piercing gaze.
"Take care… or get rid of them?" Lin Chen shouted.
Her sunny facade crumbled. "Lin Daochang! Are you accusing me?!"
"Accusing? No, but do you drug the elderly to make them forget and silence anyone who might expose you?" Lin Chen pressed.
Panic flashed in Madeleine's eyes. "You… you have nothing to prove! I've dedicated my life to charity!"
Nina was shocked. "Some residents have disappeared, and the dean claimed their families took them…"
Netizens chimed in:
"She looks pitiful, but the Taoist priest is sharp."
"The Cleveland Nursing Home has a good reputation, though…"
Lin Chen continued, unfazed. "Madame Madeleine, your €5.38 million European bank account has been stolen."
Madeleine froze, terrified at the exact amount. She scrambled to check and realized Lin Chen had tricked her—but the moment left her pale.
Nina's face fell, witnessing the morning's events—the dean's complaints about dwindling funds, her selfless dedication—all exposed under the sharp eyes of Lin Chen.
