Just as everyone was speculating about the source of Madeleine's wealth, Lin Chen said calmly,"Madeleine, all the renovations and repairs at the nursing home were handled by your nephew, and the donations from all over were properly accounted for. Are you clear about that?"
Madeleine's face turned red with anger."Lin Daochang, you could be sued for such false accusations!"
"Whatever," Lin Chen replied lightly. "I've already informed the police. As for what's buried in your garden… it's too late for you to deny it now."
Madeleine composed herself and said, "I need to leave!"
She was about to return the phone to Nina, but Lin Chen added again,"You poor thing, let me guide you. Go through the south gate—it's safe."
Madeleine hesitated, not fully trusting him. She returned to the office to gather her things, preparing to escape.
Meanwhile, pop-ups began appearing in Lin Chen's live broadcast room.
"Master, didn't you let the bad guys go?"
Lin Chen smiled. "No, I deliberately confused her. I told her to go through the south gate, while the north gate was blocked. It's all part of the plan."
"Then she should go east?" one fan asked.
"Some girls are fierce but a little clueless," Lin Chen said. "No matter which door she chooses, she can't escape. I just scared her so she'd return to room 060 to pick up the USB flash drive with the ledger."
Fans flooded the barrage:"Stinky Taoist Priest! You're so sly!""The Taoist Priest is truly ruthless!""Boy, Starley, are you switching careers? From weapons to charity?!"
Moments later, Nina reported,"Master Daoist, the detective caught Dean Madeleine. Using the accurate tips you provided, they began digging a corner of the garden."
Half an hour later, the grim truth emerged. About ten bodies were uncovered, some long decomposed, some freshly buried.
Nina sighed, "No wonder this garden was constantly renovated… Madeleine and her nephew buried them here."
Lin Chen explained solemnly,"These elderly people couldn't take care of themselves. Madeleine poisoned them and buried them under false pretenses, all while embezzling donations and emptying the nursing home with her nephew."
Netizens exploded with anger, but Lin Chen reassured them,"Don't worry. Madeleine and her nephew will face justice. All accounts will be recovered, and Mr. Sta has promised to donate funds to properly care for the elderly."
Meanwhile, the playful banter continued in the live room:"Boy Sta, are you a philanthropist now?!""Nini: Actually, Starley's a good guy—and handsome too!"
Lin Chen chuckled. The live chat had descended into commercial boasting and playful admiration, but he didn't mind.
Even Jill sent a barrage:"Master, how can you ignore Starley?!"
Lin Chen replied teasingly,"My favorite must always be excellent and handsome—naturally, I'm a little jealous too."
The fans went wild. Some teased about his love life, some joked about jealousy, and some simply marveled at his wit.
Afternoon: Setting up the Formation
Lin Chen sent Harley to rest, then drove to pick up Jill. Later, he continued setting up the formation at the police villa.
Harley sniffed the car and wrinkled her nose."Daoist, didn't you say we were going to the market to buy rocks? Why does it smell so…"
Lin Chen smiled and explained,"The young lady at the flower and bird market was overly enthusiastic. I tried my best to avoid it."
Harley pouted but then laughed, recognizing the high-level perfume—it reminded her of the one she had given Jill before.
The afternoon was filled with laughter as Lin Chen and Harley tidied the villa. Even the construction team, including Lao Cai, watched in awe.
Lin Chen checked his merit values and discovered a new power reward:"You have obtained the ability to hear all directions, all sounds, near and far."
Focusing his spiritual energy in his ears, he could hear everything—the faintest rustle of ants, workers' footsteps, even distant conversations on the beach.
He tapped a wooden pillar, listening intently."Lao Cai, termites are gnawing inside. You'll need someone to clean them up."
Lao Cai stared in disbelief."Master, how do you know?!"
Lin Chen smiled and simply smashed the pillar with his palm—inside was indeed a colony of termites. Lao Cai was astonished.
Evening: The Dance with Bruce Wayne
Lin Chen prepared to attend the charity dance hosted by Bruce Wayne. Harley rolled her eyes, teasing him:"Daoist, I asked Jill to go shopping today. I won't accompany you!"
Lin Chen handed her a gold card, allowing her to shop freely. Harley's eyes sparkled."Don't worry, priest! Jill and I will behave!"
Lin Chen shook his head. True enough, shopping was the best cure for women's moods.
This chapter blends the unmasking of Madeleine's crimes, the playful interactions with fans, and Lin Chen's supernatural powers and intelligence, while setting up the social scene with Bruce Wayne's dance.
