A passing traveler through the heavens

Ji Lin walked to the dock and scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes. Soon, he spotted the figure that was dodging around—Tan Cheng.

Without hesitation, Ji Lin drew his sidearm from his waist, his movements practiced and swift, and fired a shot at Tan Cheng's head.

With a crisp gunshot, Tan Cheng fell to the ground instantly, blood splattering from his head.

Meanwhile, Ji Lin's men were equally fierce, engaging in a brutal battle with Tan Cheng's men. Gunfire erupted across the docks, accompanied by shouts of battle.

However, not long after, this contest, in which the odds were heavily against each other, ended in a resounding victory for Ji Lin's side, with all of Tan Cheng's men being wiped out.

Just then, a group of Flying Tigers escorted two people slowly towards them.

These two were Song Zihao and Xiao Ma. When Ji Lin saw them, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he gently raised his hand to signal the Flying Tigers to release them.

Then, Ji Lin took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two and handed them to Song Zihao and Xiao Ma respectively.

"Gentlemen, after going through so much, what are your plans for the future?" Ji Lin asked with a smile.

Song Zihao took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "I want to mend my relationship with my brother first. Over the years, some things have caused a lot of estrangement between us."

Xiao Ma, standing to the side, seemed rather casual, shrugging and saying, "As for me, I don't really care. I'll just follow Brother Hao."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin's eyes flashed with admiration, and he continued, "These days, the code of honor among the martial arts world no longer exists. There's not a single person around you you can trust."

"In that case, why don't you two come work for my company?"

"I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely achieve something. Besides, the company I work for is the renowned Zhutian Group!"

Upon hearing the words "Zhutian Group," both Song Zihao and Xiao Ma were startled.

It should be noted that although Song Zihao had only recently returned to Hong Kong Island, the formidable reputation of the Zhutian Group was already widely known.

After exchanging a glance, the two nodded in agreement.

Ji Lin plans to shift the company's focus to opening factories in the north.

Therefore, after Jimmy went to the north, the group needed someone to assist Huan'er in handling affairs, so Ji Lin chose Song Zihao and the other person.

Song Zihao and Xiao Ma responded in unison again, "No problem, Brother Lin, don't worry, we will do our best to help!"

Finally, Ji Lin clapped his hands heartily and said to them with a smile, "Haha, that's good! Also, consider Tan Cheng's two million as your travel expenses."

"Take a good break, get yourself in the right mindset before diving back into work!"

The next morning, Ji Lin went to the hospital to check on Song Zijie's recovery.

As soon as he arrived at the ward door, a loud commotion of smashing and looting reached his ears.

"Get out of here! I don't need your fake concern, and I don't want anything from you!" The angry roar pierced through the walls, sending a shiver down one's spine.

Ji Lin frowned slightly, but pushed open the door and went inside without hesitation.

Just then, an apple flew straight toward him like a cannonball, about to hit him in the face.

However, Ji Lin reacted extremely quickly. In a flash, his right hand shot out like lightning and precisely caught the apple that was about to hit him.

"Ah Jie, assaulting a police officer is a serious crime, especially something like what you did—attempting to attack your superior."

Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile, and he said half-jokingly.

Upon hearing this, Song Zijie, who was initially agitated, froze for a moment. But when he saw that the person who came was Ji Lin, his expression softened slightly.

But with a hint of guilt still in her eyes, she whispered, "I'm sorry, Brother Lin..."

Seeing this, Ji Lin waved his hand lightly, indicating that he didn't care.

Then, he walked to the bedside, picked up a small knife from the table, and began to skillfully peel an apple, continuing to talk as he did so.

“Ah Jie, to be honest, your brother was actually an informant I planted in the criminal gang. I contacted him as soon as he returned to Hong Kong Island.”

"Your brother made a great contribution to our police station's successful cracking of that earth-shattering counterfeit money case!"

"Moreover, during last night's fierce gunfight, your brother braved a hail of bullets, maneuvering among the enemy. A slight misstep could have cost him his life..."

Ji Lin carefully handed the freshly peeled apple to Song Zijie and said earnestly.

“Ah Jie, now that your brother has the courage to change his ways, why don’t you have the courage to accept him?”

"He has truly changed for the better now, can't you give him another chance?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zijie slowly raised his head and looked at Song Zihao beside him.

Song Zihao looked tense and expectant, his hands unconsciously clenching, as if waiting for his younger brother's crucial response.

Although Song Zijie remained silent, his eyes and expression revealed that his resistance to Song Zihao was no longer as strong as before.

Seeing this, Ji Lin slowly stood up, gently patted Song Zihao's shoulder, and comforted him.

“Let’s go, Hao. I think A-Jie might need some time to process all of this.”

"Let's not push him too hard. Let's give him more time to think it over." With that, she pulled Song Zihao toward the door.

Meanwhile, Song Zihao kept turning back to look at Song Zijie's reaction, silently praying that he could gain his brother's forgiveness in the end.

Back at the police station, Leung Siu-tong hurried toward Kei Lin and whispered to him.

"Brother Lin, someone is waiting for you in your office!"

Ji Lin frowned slightly, wondering to himself who might be looking for him, and quickened his pace toward the office.

Pushing open the door, Ji Lin immediately saw a familiar figure sitting leisurely in his office chair. That person was none other than Di Yun.

Di Yun's lips curled slightly, his eyes raised, and he looked at Ji Lin with a half-smile, teasingly saying, "Ji Lin, didn't expect this, did you? How about it, are you surprised to see me?"

It turns out that Di Yun's trip to Hong Kong Island was actually because of Ji Lin.

Ever since his last encounter with Ji Lin in Haojiang, Di Yun's heart has been stirred by the gentle breeze of spring.

She found herself developing a deep affection for Ji Lin without even realizing it, to the point that she couldn't eat or sleep, and her mind was filled with Ji Lin's image.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Di Yun resolutely applied to the company, hoping to be transferred to the Hong Kong Island branch.

In this way, she would be able to see Ji Lin, whom she longed for, every day.

Just as Di Yun arrived in Hong Kong, he heard that Ji Lin had successfully cracked a major counterfeit currency case.

This excited her greatly, and she felt that this was an excellent news topic. So, she rushed to the police station where Ji Lin worked, intending to interview Ji Lin properly.

After hearing Di Yun's explanation, Ji Lin couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he still politely invited Di Yun to have dinner together and suggested that he take this opportunity to be interviewed by her...

In a beautifully decorated and elegant Western restaurant, Ji Lin and Di Yun sat facing each other, with Ji Lin enthusiastically responding to her various questions.

The two chatted easily and happily, with bursts of laughter frequently filling the air.

Just then, a melodious piano tune suddenly filled the restaurant, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Ji Lin's heart stirred. He turned to look at the waiter beside him, lowered his voice and whispered a few words. Then, under Di Yun's puzzled gaze, Ji Lin slowly got up and walked towards the piano table.

Thanks to the skill package he had received, it was a piece of cake for Ji Lin to showcase his musical skills in front of everyone.

When Ji Lin sat down at the piano, he took a deep breath and gently placed his hands on the black and white keys.

As his fingers danced, a series of melodious notes flowed from his fingertips like flowing water, captivating the listener and leaving them unable to tear themselves away.

Di Yun listened quietly to Ji Lin's performance, her beautiful eyes sparkling with surprise and appreciation.

As the music continued, Di Yun's affection for Ji Lin steadily increased without her realizing it.

Finally, the song ended...

The entire restaurant fell into a brief silence, followed by thunderous applause.

Ji Lin stood up, smiled and bowed slightly to the audience to express his gratitude, then turned and returned to his seat. At the same time, the familiar system notification sounded in his ear.
