Chapter 196 - Send the Hot Search Club to Their Death! The Taoist’s Goji-Berry Thermos

"First, the Vought show isn't as wonderful as you think. Even if you do join it, you must stick to your own heart."

"Yes, Master."

"Second, Deep is about to become a temporary worker at Vought. He has no real power, and he's special—so you don't need to pay any attention to him."

Starlight froze."Could that Deep guy harass me? Taoist priest, I've written that down."

Lin Chen nodded."That's enough. You'll become very popular. Work hard."

"Thank you, Taoist priest. When you come to New York next time, I'll treat you to a meal."After saying that, Starlight went offline.

Deep's furious comments instantly filled the screen.

"Daoist Lin, you're slandering me!""I'm super popular—how dare you say I'm a temporary worker!""I have ten thousand fans!"

Lin Chen ignored him, and the viewers could no longer hold back.

"Deep, stop pretending—you're just in a show!""It's normal for your popularity to drop. You're not handsome, and your abilities aren't impressive either!""Those ten thousand fans were bought. I've been in his livestream room—only a few people ever watch!""I once went to him. He had fish gills on his stomach. It was disgusting. I refunded and ran immediately," said a girl from a certain industry in New York."That's terrifying!"

Deep was practically finished.

Staring at the barrage, his face turned ashen. He wanted to kill Lin Chen—but he didn't dare. Lin Chen could kill him without effort.

He quickly went silent and didn't dare say another word.

After this incident, his popularity plummeted even further.

Even Homeland was losing patience and was preparing to send him off to the frontier.

Lin Chen continued fortune-telling and randomly selected a user named "Ilia."

Ilia was another blonde girl, about a six-out-of-ten in looks. She said sweetly,"Hello, Master. My name is Ilia."

"Hello, Ilia. What would you like to calculate?"

"Master, last time you helped our line of work by catching that serial killer. Now all the dancers in our industry worship you. We promise to give you everything for free."

As soon as she said that, countless people became jealous.

Deep, who had no money to go to such places, was seething.

"Just because he's handsome… these women are really blind! I'm Deep!"

Lin Chen smiled."Thank you, Ilia. But first tell me what you want."

"I have a younger sister named Daisy. She used to be a flight attendant and is now a dancer. We both work in New York. Two days ago she said she was going on a date with a client, and then she disappeared."

"We tried calling her, but we couldn't reach her. After reporting it to the police, the detectives still have no clues."

Lin Chen nodded."Do you know who that client was?"

"I don't. Daisy was very secretive. It must have been an important client." Ilia shook her head.

Lin Chen asked Ilia to upload Daisy's photo.

Daisy was a seven-out-of-ten in looks. With makeup, she was even more beautiful—no wonder she had many wealthy patrons.

Lin Chen activated his Water Mirror physiognomy. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.

"Homelander wants to steal the spotlight again?"

It turned out Daisy had been kidnapped by one of Kingpin's subordinates, a man named Kevin, who planned to force her to blackmail the wealthy clients she had served before.

Lin Chen had only just spoken when Homelander rushed off to arrest someone and play the hero.

Lin Chen paused and said calmly,"Daisy did have an accident. The last client she met was a real-estate developer named Krup."

Ilia gasped."It's him! No wonder! He's been divorced twice and has a history of domestic violence!"

The chat exploded.

"Krup? I know him. He only loves money!""I heard he harassed female employees too!""Total scumbag!"

Lin Chen nodded."He really is a scumbag. There's proof in the drawer of his bedroom."

Homelander immediately took off.

He flew to Krup's house and grabbed him."Krup, you are suspected of murdering Daisy. Come with me to the police station!"

With one hand, Homelander lifted the struggling Krup.

Krup was thrown at the entrance of the police station, completely confused. Dozens of reporters were already there—most of them clearly arranged in advance.

"Homelander, you've done another great deed!""How did you know Krup murdered Daisy? Did you watch Dao-Lin's livestream?"

Homelander shook his head quickly."No. I have my own informants. Everything I do is for world peace."

The interview instantly went viral. Vought's PR department reacted with lightning speed and hyped it up massively.

Harley Quinn walked over angrily with her phone."Master, he's trending again!"

"This fake Superman is shameless," Catwoman snapped.

The livestream viewers were furious.

"I saw everything, but Homelander still refuses to admit it came from the Taoist's livestream!""That fake smile makes me sick.""This time he was clever—he sent him straight to the police station."

Lin Chen finished something on his phone, waited a few minutes, then looked up with a wide smile.

"All right, everyone. The police just informed me that Daisy has been rescued, and Kevin has been arrested."

"?!"

"What's going on?!""Daoist priest, you tricked us! Wasn't Krup the murderer?!"

Lin Chen laughed."I never said Daisy was killed. She was just kidnapped by Kevin and forced to blackmail rich clients. I called the police, and she's already been rescued."

The barrage exploded.

"Master, you're really a crafty fox!" Nini posted. "Homelander is losing his mind!""Hahaha, this is so satisfying!" Rhodes laughed."So many layers of traps—another person got played. All I can say is: well done!" Black Widow typed while working overtime."I need two phones to watch Homelander embarrass himself!""Master, you're bad—but I like it," Aunt May wrote.

Catwoman looked at Lin Chen with fear."That was evil… and I was just defending you…"

Harley held up her phone. Homelander had just found out the truth. His face was ashen.

Krup finally understood and started screaming,"What the hell?! I just collected some underwear! What's wrong with that? Is it illegal?!"

Homelander apologized profusely while Krup cursed him out.

This time Homelander had become a complete joke.

Vought spent money to hype him up—but ended up humiliating him instead.

Homelander flew back to Vought Tower and smashed everything in his room.

"Damn Lin Chen! I won't let you get away with this!"

Meanwhile, Deep poured himself wine and added a few dishes."Hahaha! Homelander always looks down on me. Look who's the joke now!"

In Lin Chen's livestream, the viewers were already in hysterics.

Lin Chen shook his head."I hadn't even finished speaking when someone over-interpreted it. That's my fault. I talk too slowly."

Mera and Harley were laughing so hard they could barely stand.

Poison Ivy brought over a thermos full of goji-berry tea."Taoist, have some tea."

Lin Chen took the thermos, his eyelids twitching."Ivy… who exactly are you trying to take care of?"

The viewers were once again full of envy. Lin Chen gave a final warning and ended the stream.

Late at night, Diana drove up to the police villa. Lin Chen went to meet her at the door.

"Beauty, thanks for your hard work."

Diana stepped out of the car."Lin, what exactly is going on, son of—"
