Inside the solemn and imposing Yau Ma Tei Police Station building, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to drip water. Ji Lin stood in the center of the spacious and bright conference room, with Lei Luo and a group of foreign executives sitting in front of him.

Ji Lin cleared his throat and began to give a detailed report to everyone present on the jewelry robbery. He recounted the course of events, the robbers' methods, and the clues currently available to the police in a clear, logical, and organized manner.

However, compared to the robbery, the foreigners were more concerned about Yan Tong's death and the shock suffered by the wealthy and upper-class foreigners who came to view the jewelry.

Even before arriving at the police station, the meticulous Ji Lin had made thorough preparations. He transferred the key audio recordings and surveillance videos to videotapes and conducted an in-depth and detailed analysis of the entire case.

At this moment, when he presented all the evidence to everyone, the foreigners who had previously harbored some doubts were immediately speechless and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Despite their lingering dissatisfaction, they simply couldn't find anything to criticize in the face of undeniable facts.

In the end, the group of foreigners could only slink away. Just as Lei Luo was about to leave the conference room, he suddenly turned back and whispered a shocking secret to Ji Lin.

It turned out that before coming to the police station, Lei Luo had someone investigate and found that Yan Tong had visited Haojiang some time ago.

There, he unfortunately fell into a carefully laid trap and lost everything. With nowhere else to turn, Yan Tong decided to take a desperate gamble and participate in this jewelry heist. After all, the jewelry was priceless; if he succeeded, he might be able to recover everything he had lost.

His fate is hardly worthy of sympathy. As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten gamblers lose," and those who are addicted to gambling and unable to extricate themselves often end up like this. As people often say, "Once a gambling addict falls into it, it's hard to turn back."

Therefore, Yan Tong's death was well-deserved and entirely justified.

Just then, Lei Luo walked up with a smile, gently patted Ji Lin's broad and sturdy shoulder, and said earnestly, "Ah Lin, I knew I hadn't misjudged you! I never expected you to get this done so quickly."

"Don't worry, the position of detective chief in Yau Tsim Mong is definitely yours! But don't forget to prepare the necessary funds when the time comes."

After everyone had left, Ji Lin walked slowly into the office alone.

As soon as I entered, I saw that Yue Huizhen was already fast asleep on the desk, her delicate body slightly curled up.

Seeing this, Ji Lin couldn't help but slow his pace and carefully approach the desk. He gazed softly at the sleeping beauty in front of him. Le Huizhen's silky smooth hair was casually scattered on the desk, and a faint blush hung on her fair and delicate cheeks, making her look extremely charming.

Ji Lin couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Le Huizhen's dark and shiny hair. Then, he raised his palm and patted Le Huizhen's back very carefully.

Finally, under Ji Lin's gentle call, Le Huizhen slowly woke up.

She groggily opened her eyes, rubbing them as she muttered to herself, "Huh? Ji Lin, you've got everything sorted out? Oh dear, how long have I been sleeping?"

Ji Lin smiled slightly and replied softly, "It's alright, it didn't take too long. Let's go, everything's done. I'll take you to get some late-night snacks to fill your stomach, and then I'll take you home to rest." When he said the word "home," Ji Lin deliberately emphasized it, as if there was a deeper meaning behind it.

Lok Wai-ching naturally understood immediately, her pretty face turning bright red, as shy as a ripe apple, making people feel tenderness and affection for her.

...The next morning, in Lok Hye-jeong's room.

Ji Lin slowly woke up from his sweet dream, feeling the soft and comfortable bed beneath him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Le Huizhen was right, her bed is really comfortable!"

Turning to look at Yue Huizhen, who was still fast asleep beside him, Ji Lin was afraid of waking her, so he quietly got out of bed, put on his slippers, and quietly left the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, Ji Lin began to curiously look around this unfamiliar yet luxurious home. He had been so exhausted yesterday that he had rushed straight to the bedroom to rest as soon as he entered, and hadn't had a chance to properly appreciate the interior of this villa in the affluent neighborhood.

Lok Wai-ching's house is located in a beautiful, tree-lined upscale villa area.

This was specially bought for her by her parents who are doing business abroad, so being a reporter is just her personal hobby. It really is true that "help from a benefactor is not as good as financial assistance from a father-in-law, and financial assistance from a father-in-law is not as good as the care from a rich woman."

Ji Lin took the coffee handed to him by the villa's servant, walked to the window and sat down, slowly savoring the delicious coffee while gazing at the garden outside.

"This is what life is all about!" Ji Lin couldn't help but exclaim.

Just then, Ji Lin suddenly thought of something. He put down his coffee cup and focused his attention on the system in his mind.

The screen displayed information about Yue Huizhen: "Name: Yue Huizhen, Rating: 100, Favorability: 100, Attempts: 0." Then, a line of text slowly appeared: "Now randomly rewarded with the power of twelve talisman origins."

"Holy crap!" When Ji Lin saw the items the system had rewarded him with, even someone as composed as him couldn't help but swear.

Ji Lin could not hide his joy and couldn't wait to feel the new power surging within his body.

With a slight thought, he heard a "whoosh" and his figure instantly traversed more than ten kilometers like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in another unfamiliar place. Once again, his heart stirred, and he returned to Le Huizhen's home like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin boldly attempted the unbelievable feat of astral projection. As his soul broke free from the constraints of his body and floated in the air, an unprecedented and wondrous feeling welled up within him.

In short, apart from the Dragon Talisman, which possessed earth-shattering power and immense destructive force, Ji Lin thoroughly explored all the other talismans. Each talisman displayed unique abilities and charm, captivating him completely.

At this moment, Ji Lin finally understood the true meaning of the words "I have nothing to lack now" spoken by the Holy Master in Jackie Chan Adventures.

This feeling of being in control of everything and omnipotent is simply wonderful!

Thanks to the powerful healing power of the horse talisman, Ji Lin's fatigue from last night's travels vanished instantly.

At this moment, he seemed to have been reborn, full of energy and vitality.

Immediately, he walked briskly towards the room, secretly planning how to reward Yue Huizhen properly, since it was because of her that he was able to obtain these invaluable twelve talismans.

It would be unreasonable and inhumane not to reward her properly!

That afternoon, Ji Lin hummed a little tune as he left Le Huizhen's villa and headed towards the headquarters of Zhutian Group.

As for Yue Huizhen, she was also exhausted by Ji Lin's antics and had to ask the TV station for a few days off to get some rest...
