"You damn Taoist, can't you just spit it out already? I'm still running for my life," the wildcat typed.
"This is my first time watching the Taoist's stream, is he really that accurate?" Polaris, a viewer, asked.
"Super accurate. The Taoist sends a few people to jail every day. I wonder which unlucky sod it'll be today."
"We should call them the lucky ones."
Lin Chen said in a low voice, "Susan, who's at home with you today?"
Susan was puzzled, "Taoist, it's me, the two kids, and a nanny. Hoffman isn't back yet."
"That's good. Call the police right now and get a detective to come to your house."
"Taoist, I hate cheating, but it's not illegal, is it?"
"Hoffman isn't just cheating, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Do you know about his first wife?"
"I do. Hoffman said his first wife ran off with a gigolo. He said he finally managed to get a divorce in absentia."
Lin Chen shook his head. "That's all bullshit. He killed his first wife!"
"What?!" Susan jumped up in shock.
The comments section exploded.
"Daoist, you never disappoint. Simple cheating has escalated to murder."
"Men these days are terrifying."
"Could it be that the woman cheated and Hoffman killed her?"
"When my wife cheated on me, I wanted to kill her too, but I lost the fight and ended up in the hospital."
"Sorry, upstairs, the story is sad, but I laughed."
"+1"
Harley Quinn appeared on camera. "Ma'am, you have to believe the Taoist priest; he never speaks nonsense."
Susan asked, still in shock, "Taoist priest, he can divorce me for cheating, why would he want to kill me?"
"Because he doesn't want you to take any of his property or the children."
"That bastard… What should I do?"
"Call the police immediately, and then wake up the nanny. Even if he comes back, he won't dare to do anything to you."
Susan quickly called the police, then was stunned, her teeth chattering... "You... you're saying he's going to kill me today?"
Lin Chen nodded. "You were unlucky to have chosen this man as your husband, but very lucky to have come to me for a reading tonight. To be honest, he was planning to kill you tonight, then dismember your body. Perhaps some higher power is watching over you."
Susan trembled all over, constantly glancing around, terrified that Hoffman would suddenly appear behind her.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Nanny got up, giving her courage.
The comments started pouring in.
"This scary old man, he's like you, Daoist Master," Hit-Girl commented.
"Lin Daoist, you've contributed to the cause of justice again, I admire you," Black Bat messaged.
"I have goosebumps, I feel like someone's behind me."
"What is this? My husband and I both think the other is going to kill us."
"Upstairs, please share your story."
"Marriage is terrifying; I'm sleeping next to someone who wants to off me at any moment. I'm so scared."
Lin Chen comforted everyone, "This is just an isolated incident; please don't take it personally."
Soon, a knock came from outside. Susan screamed!
Fortunately, it was an old acquaintance of Lin Chen's, Detective Liu, who was previously in charge of solving the case in Brother Bao's dream.
"Daoist, I didn't expect to see you again," Detective Liu said to the screen.
"Old Liu, not bad. You're still on duty so late."
"We're in the same boat, Daoist. You're also live streaming, aren't you? I was in charge of Hoffman's ex-wife's disappearance. I had my suspicions, but I couldn't find any trace of her, so it was officially ruled a missing person case."
"I rushed over here as soon as I heard you had something."
Lin Chen nodded. "We'll discuss that case later. First, let's make a plan. Hoffman will be home soon."
Detective Liu agreed.
Lin Chen stroked his chin. "Hoffman likely doesn't know he's been exposed. He'll probably try something tonight. We'll set up a trap and make him walk right into it."
The two of them began to strategize.
Two detectives would hide under the bed, one in the closet, and others in the living room and kitchen.
Lin Chen advised, "Susan, you need to stay calm. Don't provoke him, or Hoffman will claim he was driven to it."
Susan saw so many detectives and the perfect setup, so she quickly nodded.
Polaris approached Lin Chen and said to the camera, "Try to act natural. Don't be too nice to him, or it might arouse suspicion or change his mind. That would make it hard to catch him. Good luck, we're all supporting you."
Susan nodded. "Don't worry, everyone. I'll do my best to get this scumbag behind bars."
Lin Chen turned to look at Polaris, and his face bumped right into Polaris' lips.
"This!" Both of them recoiled as if they'd been electrocuted.
Susan said, miserably, "Taoist, I'm already miserable enough. Can you two stop flaunting your affection?"
Lin Chen... "This was truly an accident."
Lorna, her face slightly flushed, sat back down, lost in thought.
Harley Quinn was jealous and picked up Lin Chen, leaving a strawberry mark on his left cheek.
"You scoundrel! My eyes!" Hit-Girl cursed from the front.
Detective Liu made a close deployment, and of course, setting up surveillance cameras was essential.
