Lin Chen drove Harley to the southern district police station gate, where Jill was waiting.
Harley, ecstatic at the gold card Lin Chen had given her, chirped,"Sister Jill! The Taoist priest said, brush it hard—let's go wild!"
Jill glanced at Lin Chen with a playful smile."Then go ahead, blow him away! Seems like you've been taken care of well!"
Lin Chen handed the supercar over to the two girls and mounted his motorcycle, speeding off to the banquet.
Wayne Tower, Top-Floor Banquet Hall
Lin Chen arrived and, skipping lunch, ignored the presumptuous glances of some rich women. He went straight to the self-service area, quietly grabbing some food.
A gray-haired older gentleman approached with a champagne bottle."Mr. Lin Dao, Master Wayne will be delighted by your presence."
Lin Chen shook his hand warmly."A-Fu, it's a pleasure. I've long admired your reputation."
A-Fu smiled."I didn't expect the Taoist priest to recognize me—but I'm actually your fan too."
Lin Chen looked down at his plate."I skipped lunch, but I hope Officer A-Fu won't mind."
"No, Taoist priest. You have genuine temperament, unlike those who attend with impure motives."
Lin Chen nodded."You're right, A-Fu. I just didn't feel like going shopping with the girl today."
Dent and Rachel soon arrived. Dent laughed,"Master, it's great you could come. Honestly, I don't know most people here, so I'll just follow your lead."
Lin Chen pointed at the lobster on the table."I've actually been fighting over this!"
Rachel looked at him with curiosity."Master, your courtroom performance was amazing. I think about that day every night."
Dent frowned while Rachel blushed slightly, obviously enchanted by Lin Chen's charm.
Not far away, Lin Chen noticed a pair of bright, sharp eyes observing him with a hint of mischief.
A familiar figure appeared—a woman in a maid outfit, black silk heels, long legs, and a slender waist. Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"Waiter! Bring me a glass of wine!" he called.
Catwoman, pretending not to hear, sauntered a few steps forward.
Lin Chen continued, drawing attention:"That waitress with the thin waist—bring me wine!"
The other guests glanced over as Catwoman, biting her lip, approached with feline elegance, carrying the glass.
Lin Chen inspected her carefully, admiring the snow-white swan neck and the sexy collarbones."Selena, is this the spirit of service?"
Catwoman glared."I'm here for business. The police are causing trouble for me."
Lin Chen leaned closer, teasing,"Something smells good…" and gently hugged her waist."This waist is strong—as expected of a thief! Any fat sheep today?"
Catwoman rolled her eyes."The fat sheep hasn't appeared yet, but I ran into a satyr."
Lin Chen's gaze swept over her maid outfit."Your outfit, chatter… it really suits you."
Catwoman blushed and snapped,"Put away your evil thoughts! I'm a woman you can't have!"
A few noble ladies nearby snickered and whispered,"You waiter, focus on work, not chasing the golden Taoist priest!"
Catwoman's cheeks turned red with anger, but Lin Chen calmly defended her,"You're mistaken! I approached her because she's beautiful—it's my business."
The noble ladies departed, grumbling:"Master, don't give up the forest for a tree!""Thirty years of effort outweighs a pretty woman."
Catwoman, a little curious, whispered to Lin Chen,"Why do you care about helping me? Isn't it better to just stay safe?"
Lin Chen leaned close to her ear, smiling."I won't allow anyone to bully you. And if they try, I'll bully them instead. Besides…" he sniffed subtly, "…you smell good."
Catwoman stomped in her heels, but Lin Chen's quick reflexes kept him safe.
The Black Mask Appears
Suddenly, a tall figure in a black mask entered with a few subordinates.
Dent frowned. His fundraising dance was being intruded upon. Rachel tugged at him nervously, signaling caution.
The Black Mask ignored Dent and approached Lin Chen."Lin Daochang… we meet again. I didn't expect you to be alive."
Lin Chen shook his head."I'll probably outlive you. Don't count on my death anytime soon."
The Black Mask's tone was solemn."Little Taoist priest, you offended someone who shouldn't be offended. I broke into Black Gate Prison and released many prisoners—many are now under my command."
Lin Chen smirked."Really? You think you can police them all around me? If you want to kill me, it'll be yourself in danger."
At that moment, Catwoman passed by with a wine tray. A few of the Black Mask's men took wine, distracted.
The Black Mask hissed,"Little Taoist priest, we Xiannis will repay and avenge our debts."
Lin Chen replied confidently,"How? I've already exposed the criminals in your family."
The Black Mask glared,"Your end is coming, little Taoist priest!"
He turned and left, heading toward Dent to cause trouble.
Catwoman whispered, warning Lin Chen,"Be careful with the Black Mask. His marksmanship is lethal—he once blew Deadshot's prosthetic eye."
Lin Chen shrugged."You don't understand me. Bullets are like floating clouds in front of me."
