A passing traveler through the heavens

"Hello, who is this?" Ji Lin frowned, wondering who was calling from this unfamiliar number.

You should know that not many people know his private phone number. Just then, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Brother Lin, it's me, Gao Da! We met before at Fuguiwan."

Upon hearing that it was Gundam, Ji Lin was somewhat surprised, and at the same time, a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

After all, the two had no contact since that encounter, but now, suddenly receiving a call from Gao Da, with the sound of intense gunfights coming from the other end of the line, instantly piqued Ji Lin's curiosity.

After Gao Da briefly explained the purpose of his call, Ji Lin learned the full meaning of the call.

Gao Da is currently in Haojiang. He was just here to join in the fun and have some fun during the God of Gamblers competition.

Unexpectedly, he ran into his cousin Gao Jin here.

Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, he stayed in Macau, wanting to catch up with him. But then he heard the news that Ko Chun had been shot during the finals. He was extremely anxious and immediately decided to take Ko Chun back to Hong Kong Island to treat his injuries.

However, while they were waiting for the boat, a group of masked men in black suddenly rushed out and opened fire on them without saying a word.

After listening to Gao Da's words, Ji Lin frowned slightly. He composed himself and asked Gao Da, "So where are you in Haojiang now?"

Gao Da hurriedly replied, "Brother Lin, we're at the Haojiang Wharf right now." After receiving the answer, Ji Lin hung up the phone and quickly returned to his room.

When Ji Lin stepped into the room again, He Xin, who was leisurely sitting at the table enjoying his tea, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He put down his teacup and looked at Ji Lin with suspicion, as if trying to glean some clues from the other's expression and actions.

Upon seeing this, Ji Lin quickly stepped forward and explained the whole story to He Xin in detail.

Upon hearing this, He Xin, who had been calm and composed, instantly changed his expression. He slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide with anger, and he began to curse loudly.

"Damn you! How dare some fool run wild like this on my He Xin's turf!"

"Ah Lin, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and show no leniency!" After saying that, He Xin quickly took out his phone and dialed a number, speaking seriously to the person on the other end of the line.

Not long after, he hung up the phone and turned to Ji Lin to reassure him, "It's all arranged. Your friend will be fine."

Ji Lin was moved to tears and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your help, Brother Xin. I will remember this kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."

He Xin waved his hand dismissively, indicating that there was no need to worry about it. Then Ji Lin turned and left the room to continue handling the follow-up matters.

However, to everyone's surprise, Di Yun, who had been silent all along, followed Ji Lin out without hesitation.

At the same time, He Xin seemed to remember something important and hurriedly turned to Guo Yingnan beside him, instructing, "Anan, you should also go and see if there's anything we can help with."

Upon hearing this, Guo Yingnan immediately got up and followed closely behind without saying a word.

Ji Lin hurried out of the manor gate and saw Jimmy, who had been waiting outside for a long time. He immediately told Jimmy to start the car engine and prepare to drive to the dock.

Just then, Di Yun, quick-witted and agile, seized the opportunity and swiftly climbed into the car, settling comfortably next to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin glanced at Di Yun but didn't say anything. He simply took out his phone and dialed Luo Tianhong's number.

"Hello, is this Tianhong? Come to the Haojiang Wharf from Hong Kong Island immediately, it's urgent!" Ji Lin said urgently.

After hanging up the phone, he put it back in his pocket and rubbed his temples to relieve his fatigue.

Before long, the car sped to the Haojiang Wharf.

However, the scene before them left everyone speechless—corpses lay scattered haphazardly on the dock, their blood staining the ground; not far away, the Haojiang police were busy cleaning up the mess and questioning those present, including Gao Da and his group.

Seeing this, Guo Yingnan, who was following Ji Lin, quickly walked up to a Haojiang policeman who appeared to be the highest-ranking officer on the scene and began to talk to him in a low voice.

A moment later, the policeman waved to his men to leave.

Ji Lin walked straight up to Gao Da, and also noticed Xi Qi and Long Wu standing next to Gao Da.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing in Haojiang?" Gao Da asked with a look of surprise.

I called him earlier to ask if Ji Lin had any connections in Haojiang that could help me out, but I never expected that Ji Lin would actually be here now.

"I came here specifically to watch the God of Gamblers competition. I never expected that you and Gao Jin are cousins," Ji Lin replied with a smile, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Alright, everything's settled now!" Ji Lin said with a relaxed smile, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and handing it to Gao Da, before casually asking a question.

"By the way, Gundam, have you figured out which guy sent the gunman?"

Gao Da took the cigarette, put it to his lips, took a drag, slowly exhaled the smoke, and gently shook his head, but quickly said with a confident expression, "In my judgment, it's probably the same group of people who shot my cousin before."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Could it be that, as I suspect, these gunmen were sent by Gao Jin's master, Jin Neng?"

"If that's the case, then the plot will change drastically!" Thinking of this, Ji Lin frowned slightly.

The two chatted for a while longer, when suddenly they heard the roar of a motor coming from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Luo Tianhong driving a speedboat at breakneck speed, splashing up a white spray from the stern.

Luo Tianhong brought the speedboat to a steady stop on the shore, and Ji Lin let Gao Da and the others board the speedboat.

Ji Lin then patted Luo Tianhong on the shoulder and whispered a few words of advice, instructing him to make sure Gao Da and the others were safely returned to Hong Kong Island and properly settled in a safe and reliable place.

After all, the plot of God of Gamblers 3 has changed, and Ji Lin is still somewhat worried that Jin Neng might use some underhanded tricks again.

Watching the speedboat gradually disappear into the vast sea, Ji Lin turned around, laughed heartily at Guo Yingnan standing beside him, and said...

"Thanks, Brother Nan! I'm so grateful for your help today. Also, could you please pass on my thanks to Brother Xin when you get back?"

"If you ever have the chance to come to Hong Kong Island in the future, be sure to let me know! I'll definitely treat you to a good meal! Consider this a huge favor I owe Brother Xin!"

After speaking, Guo Yingnan extended his right hand with a smile, and Ji Lin quickly responded, their hands clasped tightly together.

After a brief pause, Guo Yingnan nodded slightly and turned to leave.

After seeing Guo Yingnan off, Ji Lin turned his attention to Di Yun, who had been following him from the manor all this time.

His eyes were fixed on Di Yun, and Di Yun, who was being stared at so intently by Ji Lin, couldn't help but feel a surge of shyness, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

Di Yun lowered his head slightly, his eyes darting away, seemingly too afraid to meet Ji Lin's gaze directly.

Her hands unconsciously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, and her heart began to race. At that moment, her heart was like a vast, turbulent sea, and she lowered her head, lost in thought...
