A passing traveler through the heavens

The Kowloon Walled City incident finally came to an end. Three days after the dust settled, Ji Lin arrived at the police station located in Yau Ma Tei.

The detective at this police station in Yau Ma Tei is surnamed Wong. He has been in the police force for many years and is already a trusted confidant of Lui Lok. Now he is about to retire.

Lei Luo's intention in arranging Ji Lin to work as an undercover police officer here was obvious. He clearly hoped that Ji Lin would succeed Detective Wang and become the detective of Yau Ma Tei after making some achievements.

As Ji Lin stepped into the police station, he couldn't help but feel a mix of nervousness and anticipation. He asked a few casual questions and then headed towards Detective Wang's office.

"Knock knock knock..." The knocking sound was like a note breaking the silence, echoing in the quiet corridor.

"Please come in," came Detective Wang's voice, steady and powerful.

Ji Lin took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in, straightened his back and said loudly, "Reporting, Detective, plainclothes police officer Ji Lin is here to report for duty."

Before him sat Detective Wang, dressed in a neat uniform, his hair meticulously combed, a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes. Looking at the impeccably dressed Ji Lin, who was saluting, a strange sense of satisfaction welled up within him.

He quickly stood up and greeted her warmly, "Ah Lin, please sit down, don't be shy. Brother Zai already told me to stay here and not worry, just come find me if you need anything..."

As he spoke, Detective Wang took out his plainclothes service pistol from the drawer and solemnly handed it to Ji Lin. Then, Detective Wang led Ji Lin out of the office to meet the various members of the police station.

Since yesterday, Ji Lin's name has spread throughout the police station. Almost everyone knows about this new plainclothes policeman, but no one has ever seen what he looks like. At this moment, everyone casts curious glances at him, while Ji Lin smiles and nods slightly in acknowledgment.

All the police officers were delighted to have such a formidable figure arrive. After all, the news spread like wildfire, and the rumor in Kowloon Walled City had become that Ji Lin had single-handedly stormed through Kowloon Walled City with only a knife and a gun to rescue Lei Luo.

Looking at the crowd clapping their hands so excitedly they seemed about to break them, Ji Lin felt a surge of inexplicable pride. He quickly said loudly, "Lunch is on me!" As soon as he finished speaking, the already intense applause became even louder, like thunder.

Then, Ji Lin took out a wad of crisp new banknotes from his pocket and handed them directly to a police officer in uniform next to him. With a confident smile on his face, he quietly instructed, "Could you do me a favor and order lunch for me?"

The Yau Ma Tei Police Chief is a foreigner; as long as it doesn't interfere with his money-collecting, there's nothing to worry about.

After meeting with the police chief, Ji Lin and Detective Wang walked steadily back to their office. Detective Wang tilted his head slightly and began to explain in detail the duties of plainclothes officers.

Since Lei Luo established that systematic and rigorous fee collection system, those once chaotic and tangled places like flour gambling stalls have gradually become orderly, with unified collection and distribution of money, and the chaos on the streets has gradually decreased.

No matter where the incident occurred, as long as the local gangs were contacted, it was always easy to find someone to take the blame. As a result, the work of the plainclothes officers seemed to become much easier. They could leisurely drink tea and chat every day, as if they were living a carefree life away from the world.

But Ji Lin had a different idea in mind. He didn't want to live such an easy life in a daze. He longed for a groundbreaking case to happen as soon as possible so that he could get a promotion.

However, instead of the long-awaited big case, he waited and waited, and instead got his hands on a piglet.

It turns out that after several days of careful planning and preparation, Lei Luo has become the only Chief Detective Inspector in Hong Kong Island. Tonight, he plans to hold a grand party at home and also to reorganize and adjust the rules and regulations of Hong Kong Island.

"Brother Lin, people are in high spirits when good things happen! Look at your energy, you can tell something good is about to happen! Look what I brought you!" Piggy walked into the somewhat dull office with a big smile on his face.

As if radiating a unique vitality, she slowly pulled out a brand-new, reflective suit and carefully placed it on Ji Lin's somewhat old desk. The suit's lines were straight and smooth, as if telling a story of its distinctiveness.

"Brother Luo is hosting a grand party at his magnificent mountaintop villa tonight. I'll be there to pick you up on time!" Piggy's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and his tone revealed an undisguised excitement.

"Here, this is for you. Brother Luo was worried that you hadn't had time to collect those fees since you just became a policeman, so this is a special reward for you."

As he spoke, Piggy pulled out a bulging envelope from his pocket, which looked to be worth about 100,000 yuan. The envelope was of excellent quality, as if it contained endless wealth.

"Okay, okay, Brother Zai, please thank Brother Luo for me." Ji Lin's face showed gratitude.

"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up tonight, and we'll go have some fun together!" After saying that, Piggy turned and left the office, leaving Ji Lin sitting there alone, his mind filled with thoughts.

As evening approached, Ji Lin had already changed into the brand-new suit that Zhu Youzai had given him, looking exceptionally energetic. He waited quietly outside the police station.

Not long after, a black sedan drove up. It was Zhu Youzai. Ji Lin quickly walked forward, got in the car, and the car slowly started, following the road ahead towards Lei Luo's mountaintop villa.

When they arrived at the villa, they found it brightly lit, as if it were daytime, with music and laughter echoing throughout, as if announcing to the world that a grand party was being held there.

People cast curious glances at Ji Lin as he walked in, some with doubt and others with scrutiny. At that moment, Lei Luo, who was on the second floor of the villa, seemed to notice the commotion below. He turned slightly to the side and waved downstairs, signaling Ji Lin to come up.

Ji Lin took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and walked steadily upstairs...

Accompanied by Piggy, Ji Lin followed him up the villa's stairs. Soon they reached the second floor, where Piggy led Ji Lin to a door and knocked.

After hearing a voice from inside say "Come in!", Piggy pushed open the door and went in, and Ji Lin followed him in.

Upon entering the room, Ji Lin saw a spacious room with a huge desk in the center. Lei Luo was sitting behind the desk, holding a lit cigar, with smoke swirling around him.

Several men sat on either side of Lei Luo, each of them exuding an imposing aura.

Sitting to Lei Luo's left is Wu Shihao, whom he met in Kowloon Walled City. He has now been discharged from the hospital and is recovering very well.

Beside him lay a golden dragon-head cane, and he was already beginning to exude the aura of a powerful figure.

Piggy quietly introduced the others to Ji Lin: "Sitting to Lei Luo's right are Lan Gang and Han Sen, both of the Four Great Detectives, and finally, the famous Abalone Detective Chen Xijiu."

Following the direction pointed out by Zhuyouzai, Ji Lin indeed saw these people, whose faces were filled with confidence and authority.

"As for the people sitting next to Ah Hao, they are the leaders of triads such as the Wo Shing, Hung Hing, 14K and Sun Yee On, such as Ni Kun and Chiang Chen."

This room is filled with some of the most powerful people on Hong Kong Island right now, and Ji Lin will be one of them tonight.

Lei Luo looked at Ji Lin and Zhu Youzai, then waved his hand gently, gesturing for them to sit down. After they were seated, Lei Luo said, "The main reason I called you here tonight is to tell you something: Kowloon Walled City is now in my possession. Therefore, we need to redivide the territory."

“There are countless gambling dens, noodle shops, and brothels in and around Kowloon Walled City. Ah Hao will take the lion’s share from there, and you can divide the rest among yourselves.”

"After I finish speaking, who agrees and who disagrees?"

As the plan was announced, the atmosphere at the scene became lively, with some people discussing it excitedly, while others seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

However, overwhelmed by Lei Luo's domineering presence, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction.
