"How scary, you can't judge a book by its cover. A seemingly nice guy is actually so awful."
"Yeah, I'm so worried my boyfriend is only after my thousand-dollar savings."
"Seriously, how broke is your boyfriend..."
Santos returned looking grim. "Taoist Master, you were right. This guy is a notorious scumbag. I've been away from home for too long and almost got fooled."
"Taoist Master, should I tell my sister to leave him now?"
Lin Chen shook his head. "It's too late. Although he's a scumbag, he knows how to handle women. Your sister would believe him before she believes you."
"So what do I do? Am I supposed to accept this kind of person as my brother-in-law?" Santos knew his sister's feelings for Hayes; a direct confrontation might not work.
Lin Chen shook his head. "There's no benefit to being involved with this kind of person. Some things can't be said openly. Let's talk privately."
He said to the screen, "Friends, I'm sorry, I couldn't say more because of the risk of leaks."
Many netizens expressed their understanding.
"Taoist Master, we understand, walls have ears."
"As long as we don't let the Scumbag succeed, anything is fine!"
"Taoist Master, absolutely don't let him go. Send him to jail, or cut off his prostate!"
"Wow, the person above is hardcore!"
Lin Chen muted the live stream and went to the side to call Santos. "Santos, call the police right away. Your brother-in-law will be taking action tonight."
Santos froze. "What action?"
"Hayes will sneak into your house tonight and kill all four members of your family. Then, he'll comfort your sister and seize all your property."
"Taoist Master, I'm a loyal fan of yours. Don't scare me. He'd be that ruthless?!" Santos couldn't believe it.
"If you've watched all my videos, you'd know I never speak without reason."
Santos trembled all over, his back soaked with cold sweat. If he hadn't been lucky enough to have the Taoist Master divine his fortune today, he would have been a cold corpse the next day, and his wife and two children would have suffered as well.
"Taoist Master, what do we do when there's no evidence?"
"Have you seen my previous case about a husband wanting to kill his wife?"
Santos's eyes lit up. "Taoist Master, I understand. I'm familiar with the local inspector. I can ask him for a favor for one night."
"Well, if it's nothing major, I'll bother him at most once." Lin Chen went over the details again.
"Also, don't tell your sister about this."
"Understood, Taoist Master."
Hayes was just too shameless. He killed Santos' entire family, seized their property, and then dumped his wife. He was a true scumbag of the highest order.
Lin Chen hung up the phone and felt a heat on his back. He turned around and saw Harley Quinn and Lorna on either side of him, eavesdropping. Hit-Girl was practically glued to his back.
Tony and Big Daddy had their ears perked, obviously listening in as well.
"Damn, no wonder my back is hot. The gossip fire of you all is burning!" Lin Chen complained.
Tony pretended, "I'm just admiring the scenery. I don't know what you're talking about."
Lorna said her long legs were a bit tired and came over to take a walk.
Lin Chen didn't bother with these idle people. "Alright, everyone, stop gossiping. That guy's going to jail tonight! He wants to kill Santos' family tonight."
"That bastard, I want to beat him to death with a baseball bat!" Harley Quinn was very unhappy.
Lorna shook her head. "He should be impaled with ten thousand steel rods!"
Mindy said, "I want to chop off his hands and legs!"
Tony shook his head hard. Are women so fierce these days?
Lin Chen's phone rang. He took a look. "Hello, what does Catwoman want? Miss me?"
"Bah, tell me quickly, what happened to that Hayes in the end!" Catwoman, addicted to the drama, was clearly deeply poisoned and couldn't stand not knowing the ending.
"Call me 'honey', and I'll tell you," Lin Chen teased.
"Ugh, dream on! You want me to call you 'honey'?"
"Alright, honey, thanks," Lin Chen then told her everything he'd just said.
"What a scumbag, just like you!" Catwoman hung up the phone.
Lin Chen sighed, "So real, ask and then bail!"
He didn't restart the live stream. The system notified him that he had just gained thirty merit points, and he could draw a prize again!
Lin Chen thought to himself, "System, draw a prize!"
Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared in his mind. [Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a golden prize: Samadhi True Fire]
[Samadhi True Fire (Taoist term): Also known as Samadhi True Fire (a more common name, we'll use this from now on) - the essence of fire, capable of burning everything. Used by Laozi to burn Sun Wukong!]
Lin Chen scoffed, "You're breaking the law by exaggerating, that monkey wasn't even killed, he just got stronger!"
He felt the Samadhi True Fire hidden within his body, slowly burning away impurities and improving his physique.
With a thought, a small flame appeared in his hand, and the temperature inside the cabin quickly rose!
"So hot," Harley Quinn, who was closest, felt it first.
Lin Chen quickly retracted the Samadhi True Fire, "This broken plane, the air conditioning is so bad?"
With nothing else to do, Lin Chen told Harley Quinn to get out the paper and he started drawing the newly acquired Peach Blossom Talisman, intending to test its effects.
