A passing traveler through the heavens

Shortly after Ko Chun successfully ascended to the throne of the God of Gamblers, Ji Lin has also been working in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for over a year.

Looking back on the past year, it has truly been a legendary experience. Ji Lin was just a small policeman patrolling the streets back then.

Now he has transformed into one of the four most prominent detectives.

In just one year, his status jumped three levels, a speed that was simply beyond imagination!

With the New Year's Day holiday approaching, Ji Lin came up with a unique idea: to host a grand party at the luxurious Peninsula Hotel.

This gathering was of great significance, not only because it marked the first anniversary of the establishment of the Zhutian Group, but also because it was an excellent opportunity for Ji Lin to gather his carefully cultivated core team together.

He hoped that this gathering would allow them to get to know each other better.

As a result, a group of capable associates, including Chan Ka-kui, Lee Ying, Chow Sing-sing, and Wong Bing-yiu, accepted the invitation and gathered in the Peninsula Hotel's luxurious banquet hall.

To further hype up the atmosphere, Ji Lin even instructed Huan'er to bring out a full ten million Hong Kong dollars in cash and place it directly on the ground.

Then, Ji Lin announced an interesting and exciting game rule: everyone would be blindfolded and try to pick up banknotes from the ground using only chopsticks; whoever could pick them up could keep them.

The suggestion immediately caused a stir in the room.

Everyone was eager to try their hand at this unique game.

When the game officially started, the scene became extremely lively, with laughter and shouts rising and falling. Participants either carefully explored or boldly grabbed at the prizes, creating a very exciting atmosphere.

In the end, everyone gained something, more or less, and their faces were filled with excited and satisfied smiles.

Ji Lin's innovative move undoubtedly caused the loyalty of everyone present to soar to its peak.

After all, it is extremely rare to have a boss who is both powerful and cares for his subordinates.

Who wouldn't want to wholeheartedly follow such a leader? It's obvious that following a boss like Ji Lin offers a brighter future…

As the Lunar New Year approaches, the bustling Hong Kong Island is enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere is filled with the festive spirit of the New Year. People are not only enthusiastic about participating in various lively flower market activities, but also have a special fondness for the wonderful dragon and lion dance performances.

And during the Lunar New Year, dazzling fireworks bloom in every corner of Hong Kong Island, adorning the dark night sky like a dream.

Citizens came out of their homes, gazing up at the dazzling fireworks in the night sky, their faces beaming with happiness and joy.

Visiting temples to pray for blessings is an indispensable part of the Lunar New Year for the people of Hong Kong Island, where they pray sincerely with good wishes in their hearts.

Although Hong Kong Island was still under British colonial rule at the time, this did not diminish the local people's enthusiasm for the most important festival, the Lunar New Year.

Especially on New Year's Eve, the villa area in Deep Water Bay is bustling with activity.

Apart from He Min and Cindy, who chose to stay home to celebrate the holiday with their parents, all of Ji Lin's other women—Gang Sheng, Rose, Le Huizhen, Ya Zi, and others—were invited to gather together.

A sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was laid out on the table, and everyone sat together, filled with laughter and joy.

Everyone wore a bright smile as they shared the ups and downs of the past year, feeling happy to have met such a capable man as Ji Lin.

After the meal, while everyone was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, Ji Lin quietly left the table alone and strolled to the garden behind the villa.

He sat quietly in a comfortable chair, gazing up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, gently swirling the wine glass in his hand, the red wine inside shimmering with a captivating luster.

The moonlight, like water, fell on Ji Lin, outlining his somewhat lonely figure.

What was he thinking at that moment? No one knew.

He slowly raised his glass, offering a toast to the bright moon, then took a small sip of the rich red wine, letting its intense aroma unfold in his mouth...

Although Ji Lin has experienced three different worlds, both Tianlong and Magic Mobile Phone are just short trips to him.

However, his situation is quite different now that he is on Hong Kong Island.

Ji Lin has been here for over a year, and has even spent a full New Year in this different dimension...

On this special New Year's Eve, Ji Lin once again experienced the feeling of sleeping in the same bed with his partner. This feeling of happiness was simply indescribable.

So much so that when the first workday of the new year arrived, Ji Lin's already handsome face was always filled with happiness.

With the saying "New Year, New Look," Ji Lin already had a clear plan in mind—to become the most influential figure in the Chinese community!

Therefore, he was determined to ensure that he would be the sole authority within the entire Chinese police force before Lei Luo could escape.

As soon as he stepped into the police station, Ji Lin announced to everyone in high spirits, "Today is the first working day after the New Year, so this morning tea is on me!"

Before he finished speaking, he immediately ordered his men to go and buy morning tea.

Hearing the cheerful voices of everyone in the police station, Ji Lin leisurely walked into his own office, plopped down in a comfortable chair, and turned to call out to Song Zijie.

"Zijie, make me a cup of coffee. I've been feeling a bit tired lately, I need to perk myself up!"

When Song Zijie walked into the office with coffee, Ji Lin noticed that he seemed somewhat absent-minded.

His eyes darted around, as if his thoughts were being pulled by an invisible force.

Even more surprisingly, just as he was about to place the coffee on the table, the tray in his hand suddenly lost its balance, and the cup of coffee spilled out without warning.

It splashed onto the ground, forming a dark stain.

You should know that Song Zijie is usually a very organized and meticulous person!

Such a basic mistake as spilling coffee is almost never something that has ever happened to him, so Song Zijie must have encountered something unusual to cause such abnormal behavior.

Ji Lin, who was sitting to the side, keenly noticed this and asked with concern.

"Zijie, you seem quite uneasy today. Is something wrong at home?"

"Or are you short on cash?" Faced with Ji Lin's concern and inquiry, Song Zijie hesitated for a moment, then, as if he had mustered up his courage, he finally slowly revealed the truth.

It turns out that recently, Song Zijie unexpectedly ran into his older brother, Song Zihao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Speaking of Song Zihao, he has quite a background. He was once the head of an international counterfeit currency group, but he was arrested and imprisoned a long time ago due to an accident.

Even more tragically, Song Zijie's father also died with resentment because of the counterfeit money ring behind Song Zihao...

However, who could have predicted that fate would always be so dramatic?

Not long ago, Sung Tze-ho was released from prison and returned to Hong Kong Island.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin's heart skipped a beat, and the classic scene from the movie "A Better Tomorrow" instantly flashed through his mind.

Ji Lin gently patted Song Zijie on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Zijie, don't think so much! Maybe your brother has really turned over a new leaf and changed for the better after he got out of prison this time?"

"Besides, the police would never have a bad opinion of you just because you have a family member with a criminal record!"

Just then, a knock came at the door. It turned out that the morning tea that Ji Lin had arranged to buy had been delivered.

Ji Lin smiled and said to Song Zijie, "Let's go out and eat with everyone. Let's relax and stop overthinking!"

Ji Lin casually glanced at the dazzling array of food on the table, then picked up one of the dishes and handed it to Song Zijie, who was standing to the side, with a smile.

However, just as he handed out the dim sum, he caught a glimpse of the takeout signs on the dim sum packaging out of the corner of his eye.

This fleeting glance caused Ji Lin's relaxed expression to freeze instantly, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Quickly! Throw all of this away, and no one is allowed to eat another bite!" Ji Lin suddenly raised his voice, his tone urgent and stern.

These unexpected words stunned everyone present…
