A passing traveler through the heavens

Soon after, the Western leaders issued a pardon and announced a reform plan for the police force.

The entire Hong Kong Island was re-divided into six regions: Hong Kong Island, West Kowloon, East Kowloon, New Territories North, New Territories South, and the Marine Police Region.

Moreover, this reform also introduced a policy of high salaries to encourage integrity.

Furthermore, it eliminates the previous unequal promotion treatment between Chinese and foreign police officers, giving everyone a fair chance to compete.

Under this new system, many Chinese police officers saw a glimmer of hope, and among them, Ji Lin was the most outstanding.

According to the requirements, Ji Lin was successfully promoted to the first Chinese police superintendent and was assigned to the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau of West Kowloon—also known as the O-Division.

The West Kowloon Regional Headquarters is responsible for areas including Ji Lin's original Yau Tsim Mong district, as well as Sham Shui Po and Kowloon City, which inadvertently expanded Ji Lin's territory.

The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) was directly commanded by a Chief Superintendent. Surprisingly, the person in charge of directly commanding the West Kowloon OCTB was a confidant of the British Earl, named Jason.

It turned out that this personnel arrangement was made because Amy advised the Earl.

As a result, the West Kowloon Organisation almost became Ji Lin's "one-man show".

After the foreigners issued the amnesty order, Ji Lin kept his promise and restored the once turbulent Hong Kong Island to its former peace and tranquility in just three days.

After this battle, Ji Lin's reputation spread far and wide, and he rightfully became the number one figure among the Chinese police officers on Hong Kong Island.

In the midst of the police force's vigorous reform process, one important measure is to ruthlessly eliminate those officers who are incompetent and only know how to be lazy and greedy.

At the same time, through rigorous screening and assessment, a large number of young talents with both outstanding abilities and a strong sense of ambition were successfully recruited.

Jason knew Ji Lin’s leadership skills well and did not hesitate to give him the power to recruit staff independently.

Ji Lin immediately summoned his former capable subordinates.

After careful consideration, he divided these people into two groups: Group A, led by Li Ying, with Chen Jiaju as deputy leader and Song Zijie and Zhou Xingxing as members.

Group B is led by Cai Yuanqi, with Li Shutang as the deputy leader and Zhuo Jingquan and Liang Xiaotang as members.

Huang Bingyao remained with the Flying Tigers, which reassured Ji Lin. Cao Dahua, on the other hand, was assigned to a sinecure in West Kowloon.

Although there are relatively few people in the West Kowloon area right now, quality is more important than quantity. If suitable people come along in the future, Ji Lin will still recruit them.

Then Ji Lin received another message: Ya Zi had actually submitted an application from the Hong Kong headquarters, hoping to be transferred to Ji Lin's side as a secretary.

Her reason was simple and direct: she wanted to get closer to Ji Lin.

After all the arrangements were made, Ji Lin decided to hold a grand promotion party at the Peninsula Hotel.

Unlike in the past, this time the guests were limited to members of the police force and business people.

With the police force now undergoing reforms, Ji Lin has officially joined the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, which means that in the future, he will be the first to face those gangsters and triad members.

At the promotion party, Ji Lin also made a threatening statement: anyone who dares to cause trouble in the city tonight will be the first to be eliminated. Thanks to Ji Lin's reputation, no one dared to step forward, and they could only vent their anger in their hearts.

As dusk settles inside the Peninsula Hotel.

The brightly lit banquet hall was bustling with people, laughter and cheerful voices rising and falling, as everyone gathered to congratulate Ji Lin on his promotion.

With a smile on his face, Ji Lin moved through the crowd, shaking hands with each guest who came to offer their congratulations and warmly responding to everyone's blessings.

His spirited demeanor seemed to radiate confidence and brilliance.

"I am truly grateful that everyone could come to this gathering today! Tonight, we must drink to our hearts' content and not leave until we're completely drunk!" Ji Lin raised his glass and said loudly.

"If anyone isn't drunk, don't blame me for being upset!" The words had barely left his mouth when a burst of laughter erupted in the banquet hall…

The next morning, in the O-Division office building in West Kowloon, Ji Lin sat in his office, gently rubbing his still throbbing head as he tried to organize his thoughts and get back to work.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Ji Lin responded. Ya Zi walked in carrying a steaming cup of coffee.

She gently placed the coffee in front of Ji Lin and said with concern, "Ji Lin, have some coffee to perk yourself up."

Ji Lin glanced at Ya Zi, picked up his cup, took a small sip, put the cup down, and casually asked, "Ya Zi, have you heard any interesting news lately?"

Yako thought for a moment, then replied, "Since the police force underwent reforms, the most exciting thing right now is the upcoming election for the leader, which is held every two years."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin's previously muddled mind immediately cleared, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He waved for Yazi to go out first, and after the door closed, he quickly picked up the phone on the table and dialed Aji's number.

"Hello, is this Ah-Ji? This is Ji-Lin. I wanted to ask you about the latest situation regarding the recent Wo Shing election..."

Wo Luen Shing is one of the oldest and largest triad societies in Hong Kong. The current leader is Chik Kee. However, unlike the original story, he has Ah Chik, his right-hand man, supporting him, which makes Chik Kee far more glamorous than the character in the original story.

Ah-Jack himself was the most outstanding, wealthy and powerful leader in the Lian Sheng Group.

The competition for the leadership of the United Alliance is exceptionally fierce, with two leading candidates: one is Lam Wai-lok, who has the strong support of Uncle Tang; the other is Big D, who controls all the land in Tsuen Wan.

Since Ah-Jack has not yet made it clear whether he will participate in the election, both Lin Huai-Le and Da-D racked their brains to try to win Ah-Jack's support.

After all, in this fierce competition, winning Ah Ji's favor is equivalent to winning half the battle.

After hearing Ah Ji's account, Ji Lin decisively gave Ah Ji an order: "First, pretend to welcome Wo Luen Shing and Da D, and get your hands on Wo Luen Shing's dragon head cane."

"Once it's done, we just need to wait and see how things develop. When Lin Huai Le and Da D are both badly injured in their fight, Ah Ji will step forward and take them down in one fell swoop."

"In this way, we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger and smoothly ascend to the position of the person in charge."

After giving Ah Ji detailed instructions on everything, Ji Lin left the office, where Chen Jiaju, Cai Yuanqi, and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Li Ying, Yuan Qi, each of you lead your groups to closely monitor the developments and changes in this election at Wo Luen Shing," Ji Lin said with a serious expression.

Chen Jiaju and Cai Yuanqi responded in unison, "Understood!" Then they turned and left, quickly gathering their respective team members and beginning to deploy the relevant tasks.

After arranging all the matters, Ji Lin returned to his office. He gently closed the door behind him, then walked to the window and quietly gazed at the city scenery outside.

Ji Lin parted his lips slightly and murmured in a deep, magnetic voice, "Wo Luen Shing... Hmph, how interesting!"

"Let's start with you guys, consider it an achievement for me since I just took office." With that, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible cold smile that sent chills down everyone's spine.
