"Your third uncle, Huang Zhenyuan, never married. Never even had a woman, so did the kid just pop out of a crack in a rock?"
Miaojing's expression changed drastically, and she blurted out, "How did you know?"
"Naturally, I calculated it. Otherwise... Don't even think about pulling out your childhood photos. They're really not good-looking, kind of ugly."
Miaojing pointed at Lin Chen, speechless for a long moment.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Harley burst out laughing, while Jill and Catwoman couldn't contain themselves and joined in.
The comments section also exploded.
"This monk is still trying to fish for compliments?!"
"Isn't this embarrassing for his uncle? What a disgrace."
"I already screenshotted this monk's expression and added a '--' [a Chinese character representing embarrassment] – it's just perfect."
"Upstairs, I want it."
"Upstairs, me too!"
Miaojing's brain cells were working overtime when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, "You bastard, you almost tricked me! You definitely looked it up on your phone just now."
Lin Chen nodded. "I did use my phone. I added your photo to a group chat with eight wealthy women in their fifties. Now, those eight women know that you're playing them all and have swindled them out of 9.78 million."
"You're lying!" Miaojing's veins almost popped. He was guilty. Lin Chen was right, spot on, down to the exact amount of money recorded in his little notebook.
Lin Chen shrugged. "Actually, I didn't want to calculate it for you. After all, you only gave me a small rocket. It's a pity that the photo was of you."
Miaojing was sweating profusely.
The netizens weren't calm.
"Good heavens, this is considered walking right into the trap!"
"You brought this on yourself!"
"Not even trying, why use your own photo?"
"This flower monk is amazing, juggling eight boats, each one twice his age."
"You have to suffer to get ahead, right?"
"Another time management master," Lin Chen said again. "Let me give you another piece of advice: they've already called the police. If you leave now and go out the East Gate, you can still escape."
Miaojing's face twisted. "You stinky Taoist! Just you wait! My brothers won't let you off the hook!"
"It's too late if you don't leave now," Lin Chen chuckled.
"Hmph! You're scared now, it's too late!" Miaojing turned off the video, grabbed his belongings, and ran towards the South Gate.
"Hmph, you think you can trick me? There are three gates in the complex. I don't know about the East Gate, and I definitely can't go through the West Gate. I'll go through the South Gate!"
Miaojing had just reached the South Gate when he ran straight into four wealthy women who had arrived nearby. Behind them were four detectives, who promptly apprehended him.
"You stinky Taoist, you're such a sneaky bastard!" Miaojing cursed, looking up at the sky.
The wealthy auntie slapped him, "Daoist Lin is so handsome and kind! You don't understand a thing!"
In the livestream, viewers were also worried that Miaojing would escape.
"Daoist, you're too kind, repaying evil with kindness like this."
"Yeah, this kind of person should be caught."
"Daoist, you're being a bit of a saint."
"Don't be silly, everyone. The Daoist is definitely tricking him, trying to get him to go through West Gate, and then he'll be caught."
Lin Chen laughed, "Don't worry, everyone, Miaojing can't escape. Actually, no one is blocking him at the East or West Gates. They're only at the South Gate. I was afraid he'd go the wrong way, so I specifically reminded him. The wealthy auntie just messaged me; they caught him at the South Gate."
Catwoman spat, "What a disaster. He actually came to die. Really a black-hearted little Taoist!"
Harley's eyes were dreamy. "Taoist priest, so clever."
Jill stared at Lin Chen. "If this guy becomes a criminal, he'd be hard to catch."
Netizens also sighed, the Taoist priest was truly scheming, they weren't disappointed!
"Offending the Taoist priest is terrifying!"
Some netizens reminded Lin Chen that Miaojing had a group of fellow disciples, fake monks, who might come looking for revenge.
Lin Chen told everyone not to worry, he knew what he was doing.
"Alright, fellow viewers, the hot pot is ready. Let's eat hot pot first."
The online viewers were very unhappy.
"Daoist, you can't be so lazy!"
"Yeah, you've only calculated one..."
"Actually, I also want to eat hot pot, especially with three beautiful women."
Lin Chen had already beckoned the three of them to gather around the hot pot.
He lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma instantly wafted out, making them drool!
Lin Chen gave each of them a large bone, "Eat the bones first!"
Catwoman was furious, "Why is my bone the smallest?!"
"You're a cat, you don't eat much."
"You're the cat! Your whole family are cats!" Catwoman huffed as she started eating. Truthfully, it smelled amazing, and she didn't have time to argue.
Lin Chen put some ingredients into the pot and prepared a special dipping sauce for everyone.
The four of them ate with gusto, their foreheads glistening with sweat. The sauce was delicious, but incredibly spicy!
"What kind of hot pot is this? I want to eat this every day!" Jill wasn't used to chopsticks and had to use a fork.
"The people of Xia Country are amazing. They actually came up with this way of eating." Catwoman skillfully used her chopsticks, snatched the beef Lin Chen had just picked up, and ate it with a smug look.
Harley scooped some beef for Lin Chen. "Taoist Master, eat more. You've been working hard these past few days."
"My Harley is the best. She knows how to take care of people."
The viewers in the comments section were not calm at all.
"Seeing the heartwarming scene of the Taoist priest and his family of four, I just want to curse!"
"My drumstick instantly lost its flavor."
"Three top-tier beauties, any one of them is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he actually..."
"Looking at my girlfriend, who weighs 150 pounds, I'm internally refusing."
"Above, you actually have a girlfriend? Be content!"
