A passing traveler through the heavens

Amidst the intermittent chatter, Ji Lin drove his car and unknowingly arrived at the building where Cindy lived.

However, even though they had arrived home, Cindy showed no intention of getting out of the car.

She sat quietly in her seat, looking somewhat nervous, constantly clenching her hands tightly, as if she were making a difficult decision deep inside.

Finally, after a fierce internal struggle, Cindy shyly raised her head, her cheeks flushed like the evening glow, and whispered to Ji Lin, "Brother Lin, I don't know why, but I always feel like we've known each other for a long time."

“Today, I want to muster up the courage to confess something to you—actually, I like you.” Cindy’s voice trembled slightly as she said this.

The affectionate nickname "Brother Lin" dates back to when Ji Lin first met his students.

At the time, in order to quickly get closer to his classmates, he specifically asked everyone to call him that. Unexpectedly, now when Cindy calls him that, it carries a different kind of tenderness and sweetness.

At that moment, Ji Lin and Cindy's eyes met, and time seemed to stand still. They gazed at each other silently, and everything around them became insignificant.

Suddenly, as if driven by some force, Cindy leaned forward and gently kissed Ji Lin's cheek.

That moment was as fleeting and brilliant as a flash of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, Cindy, like a startled fawn, hurriedly got out of the car and ran home as fast as she could.

Watching her receding figure, Ji Lin couldn't help but reach out and touch the spot where she had been kissed. There seemed to still be the warmth of Cindy's lips and a faint fragrance.

Just then, a system notification sounded softly in his ear.

"Ding!"

"Name: Cindy"

"Rating 90"

"Number of attempts: 0"

"Favorability 100"

"A random reward is now being issued—the ability to adapt to any language across worlds."

With this ability, Ji Lin seemed to instantly become a language master, able to automatically understand and master all kinds of diverse languages.

Whether it's Sanskrit, African languages, or obscure alien languages, none of them are a problem for him anymore.

Moreover, with this ability, he is also able to communicate with different people without barriers.

While this ability isn't particularly powerful, it's still a fairly practical skill. After all, in certain situations, having an extra language ability might bring unexpected benefits.

Ji Lin drove the car with great satisfaction, speeding all the way to the Yau Tsim Mong Regional Police Station.

After the car came to a smooth stop in front of the police station, he made a phone call and asked Song Zijie to call Cai Yuanqi and the others to his office.

Not long after, Song Zijie led Cai Yuanqi and his entourage into the room.

After entering the office, Ji Lin didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Are you willing to work for me?"

The people present had long heard of Ji Lin's formidable reputation.

In particular, his fearsome title of "crime buster" is known to almost everyone in Hong Kong Island.

They were naturally more than happy to gain the favor and appreciation of this legendary figure.

Without hesitation, everyone shouted in unison, "Go through fire and water, Brother Lin!" The voices were uniform and deafening, as if they were about to break through the roof.

Ji Lin envisioned Cai Yuanqi and his group disguising themselves as students and teachers and cleverly infiltrating the Edinburgh School.

Once the time is right, and all the teachers and students in the school are successfully taken away, Ji Lin will personally lead Cai Yuanqi and others to cooperate with the Flying Tigers to form a pincer movement and capture the vicious terrorists in one fell swoop, achieving a perfect trap.

After everything was arranged, Ji Lin drove back to Edinburgh School as if nothing had happened and resumed his role as a Chinese language teacher...

...In class, Ji Lin imparted knowledge with great enthusiasm, and the students listened with great interest.

Finally, the bell rang, and Ji Lin walked out of the classroom with a sigh of relief. He went to the rooftop of the teaching building, lit a cigarette, and leisurely gazed into the distance.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a soft little hand gently pat his shoulder. Ji Lin turned around abruptly, and what came into view was the beautiful and charming Cindy.

Cindy looked at him shyly and said softly, "Brother Lin, you still haven't answered the question I asked you in the car earlier."

Previously, Cindy had impulsively kissed Ji Lin, and then hurriedly fled from the car back home.

But afterwards she regretted it, because she couldn't hear Ji Lin's response and felt extremely annoyed. At this moment, she mustered up her courage to find Ji Lin again, just to get an answer.

As Ji Lin gazed into Cindy's expectant eyes, his heartstrings trembled, and he instantly leaned down to kiss Cindy's soft lips.

Cindy was completely unprepared for Ji Lin's bold and sudden move. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she stared wide-eyed at Ji Lin, who was so close to her, as if struck by lightning.

However, under Ji Lin's gentle and skillful guidance, she gradually relaxed, her originally stiff body gradually became soft and weak, and finally slowly closed her eyes, immersing herself in this wonderful moment.

When their lips finally parted, Cindy's cheeks were already flushed with a delicate blush, like a ripe apple.

She was too shy to look Ji Lin in the eye, and simply lowered her head to try to hide her inner turmoil and embarrassment.

Seeing this, Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile.

He stretched out his arms and naturally pulled Cindy into his embrace. Then, he leaned close to Cindy's ear and softly asked, "So, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Upon hearing these words, Cindy's delicate body trembled slightly, and her cheeks burned even hotter.

She nestled close to Ji Lin's shoulder, like a docile kitten, and nodded gently.

In the days that followed, Ji Lin also told He Min and Cindy about his true identity and his true situation.

Thanks to their perfect favorability rating, both of them developed a strong sense of dependence on Ji Lin, so neither of them felt anything was wrong.

Before we knew it, the annual Christmas Eve had quietly arrived.

On this day, after careful consideration, Ji Lin specifically instructed Cindy and He Min not to go to school, but to stay at home obediently.

The school was filled with a strong Christmas atmosphere, and most of the students were happily busy decorating every corner of the campus with various colorful balls, ribbons and lights.

Just then, Ji Lin quietly walked into the middle of the group of enthusiastic students. With a mysterious smile on his face, he deliberately raised his voice and shouted to everyone.

"Students, stop what you're doing for a moment! A super fun party is coming up soon!"

"However, before that, please follow Cai Yuanqi and Li Shutang to the air-raid shelter in the school's underground. From there, we will quickly get to our party venue."

Upon hearing this, the students, who were still engrossed in setting up the shelter, curiously looked up and obediently followed Cai Yuanqi and Li Shutang toward the air-raid shelter.

Before long, only a handful of people, including Ji Lin and Zhuo Jingquan, remained in the entire school.

Just then, a black sedan slowly drove into the open space behind the school cafeteria.

The car door opened, and a group of terrorists with cold-faced expressions and armed with long guns and short cannons filed out.

They moved swiftly and were well-trained, their sharp eyes scanning their surroundings as if searching for a target.

Time passed slowly, and after Cai Yuanqi and his group of students had been gone for a while, they finally returned to the school.

At the same time, Ji Lin, who had been gripping the walkie-talkie tightly, smiled slightly and whispered into the walkie-talkie, "Operation begin!"

The terrorists, who had already infiltrated the campus, thought they could easily find the students and take control of the situation, but their careful search of each classroom yielded nothing.

Gradually, the terrorists realized that something was wrong and that they might have fallen into a carefully designed trap.

However, just as they were about to turn and flee, Ji Lin pulled a flashbang from his pocket without hesitation and threw it forcefully in the direction of the terrorists.

In an instant, a dazzling light rang out accompanied by a deafening explosion, plunging the entire scene into chaos.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of chaos, Ji Lin nimbly led Cai Yuanqi and the others to launch a swift counterattack.

Armed with various weapons, they engaged in a fierce firefight with the group of vicious terrorists.

Bullets whistled through the air, sparks flew, and shouts of battle and gunfire mingled together, creating a thrilling battle symphony.

Meanwhile, the Flying Tigers members, who had been waiting outside the school gate for a long time, swiftly and nimbly jumped over the towering gate and rushed into the campus after receiving the order from their superiors.

These well-trained elite soldiers worked in perfect coordination and possessed formidable firepower, putting immense pressure on the already disadvantaged terrorists.

Under the combined attack of Ji Lin's team and the Flying Tigers, the arrogant terrorists were quickly overwhelmed by the fierce offensive.

As time ticked by, the screams of terrorists being shot and falling to the ground echoed across the battlefield, and their casualties rose sharply.

Before long, most of the terrorists had been killed or wounded, and the rest were suppressed and could no longer cause any trouble.

After successfully eliminating all the terrorists, Ji Lin finally relaxed a little.

He methodically directed his men to clean up the battlefield, ensuring that no one escaped.

After everything was settled, Ji Lin led his group slowly toward the school gate.

When they arrived at the school gate, they found a large group of reporters who had rushed to the scene after hearing the news...
