A passing traveler through the heavens

The Ni family is a well-known family in Hong Kong, and its business scale is quite large.

Aji and Luo Tianhong only took over the legitimate part of the Ni family's business.

Nevertheless, given the large number of these industries, their wide scope, and their complex systems, it is no easy task to fully digest and absorb them in a short period of time.

After all, the Ni family was once a renowned and influential family in the martial arts world.

That's why when the Ni family quietly left Hong Kong, the news quickly spread throughout the underworld and attracted the attention of various forces.

Those unscrupulous figures in the martial arts world, like sharks smelling blood, were all eager to grab a piece of the Ni family's big cake.

Among these eager competitors, the East Star Society was the most active and aggressive.

For a long time, Tung Sing's activities have mainly focused on overseas markets, but this time their leader, Camel, personally led his capable henchmen and top lieutenants back to Hong Kong Island, attempting to carve out a new world for themselves there.

As a result, the Tung Sing triad began to frequently set up camps and plant their own flags in various parts of Hong Kong Island.

Besides their legitimate businesses, the Ni family also owned many unknown territories, most of which were located right next to the Hung Hing triad's sphere of influence.

As Tung Sing pressed closer, friction and conflict inevitably arose between the two sides.

Gradually, Luo Tianhong also informed Ji Lin of this news and gave a detailed introduction to the organizational structure of Dongxing.

Dongxing not only possesses the characteristics of a typical triad, but its main business is drug smuggling!

Moreover, their return to Hong Kong Island this time is driven by an ambitious attempt to control the entire island's drug trafficking market.

After learning this important intelligence from Luo Tianhong, Ji Lin made immediate arrangements.

He first dispatched Luo Tianhong to closely monitor whether Dongxing had any unusual or noteworthy actions recently.

At the same time, Ji Lin also issued mission orders to his two teams, requiring them to conduct in-depth investigations into the detailed information of every member within Dongxing.

This includes personal background, interpersonal relationships, and more, with a focus on figuring out the suppliers behind Tung Sing who provide drug supplies.

Not long after, Luo Tianhong quickly brought back the latest news: rumors have been circulating in the martial arts world that a grand celebration for Guan Yu's birthday is about to be held. As a result, all the famous gangs, big and small, in the martial arts world are preparing to attend this grand event.

After a thorough investigation, Li Ying and his team uncovered a crucial clue: the mastermind behind the continuous supply of drugs to Dongxing was a mysterious figure named Zhu Tao.

According to reliable sources, Zhu Tao has now become another notorious drug kingpin after Lin Kun.

Moreover, this person was extremely cunning, even setting up a real estate company specifically for money laundering in order to cover up the traces of his illegal gains.

Not long after, the much-anticipated birthday banquet for Lord Guan was held as planned.

This grand event attracted many renowned and influential figures from the martial arts world to come and offer their congratulations.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the usual celebrations, a unique charity auction was also specially arranged for this birthday party.

At the auction, the dazzling array of items was overwhelming, but the most eye-catching item was the bright red ribbon hanging at the bottom of the banquet hall – the "Rainbow".

For these people who spend their years wandering the martial arts world, this red silk ribbon has an extraordinary symbolic meaning.

It symbolizes that in the new year, business will be as prosperous and thriving as this red silk ribbon.

To ensure the safety and order of the entire birthday banquet, Ji Lin personally led a team of well-trained men to guard all entrances and exits of the banquet.

After all, in such a crowded and diverse place, it is inevitable that some unexpected frictions and conflicts will occur.

They can quickly take action to suppress any situation that arises.

As time went by, the birthday party officially began in a lively and peaceful atmosphere, and the charity auction also started in full swing.

People from all walks of life in the martial arts world bid fiercely for their favorite items, creating an exceptionally intense scene.

However, not long after, Ji Lin, who was closely monitoring the situation inside the venue, suddenly heard a noisy commotion coming from inside the venue.

He frowned slightly, then decisively led his men quickly into the venue.

The men Ji Lin brought acted swiftly, quickly separating the troublemakers and bringing the chaotic scene under control.

Looking at the mess on the ground and the overturned tables and chairs scattered everywhere, Ji Lin frowned slightly, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly is causing trouble here?"

At that moment, a hand suddenly rose high in the crowd, and a burly man with a fierce face stepped forward. This man was none other than Crow.

He yelled at Ji Lin with an arrogant expression, "It's me! What's wrong with overturning a broken table? Is it against the law?"

Ji Lin smiled slightly, revealing a half-smile, and replied, "Of course it's not illegal."

"However... I've heard a saying before—'Follow the crows, and you'll go hungry nine times in three days.' Seeing this mess all over the place today, it seems that saying is true!"

Upon hearing this, the crow's face instantly turned ashen, and veins bulged on its forehead, clearly indicating that it was extremely angry.

Just then, Chan Ho-nam, the leader of the group that had caused trouble with Crow, suddenly spoke up: "Superintendent Kei is absolutely right. Following Crow, we're really living hand to mouth!"

Crow never expected Chan Ho-nam to speak up for him at this critical juncture, and his anger erupted like a volcano.

His eyes widened in fury as he glared at Chan Ho-nam and roared, "You, Chan Ho-nam, how dare you challenge me in front of so many people! Are you tired of living? Believe me or not, I'll make sure your blood is spilled in the street right now!"

Faced with the crow's ferocious threat, which was as fierce as a wolf, Chen Haonan remained as unmoved as Mount Tai.

He walked slowly and calmly to the crow.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he leisurely stretched out his right index finger and slowly and deliberately reached into his left ear to gently pick at it, as if he didn't take the fierce-looking man in front of him seriously at all.

After cleaning his ears, Chen Haonan raised his head and said coldly in a tone full of contempt and disdain.

"Hmph! How dare you say you'd fight me to the death in the streets in front of a high-ranking police officer like Superintendent Ji? You're utterly lawless!"

At that moment, the tense atmosphere suddenly became ready to explode.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Ji Lin reacted quickly and without hesitation drew his sidearm from his waist and fired a shot into the sky.

The sudden gunshot rang out like thunder, shaking the heavens and making everyone present tremble.

Holding his gun, Ji Lin surveyed the surroundings with a sharp gaze and roared, "Quiet down, all of you! Anyone who dares to make another move and wants to taste the bullets of mine, feel free to try!"

Ji Lin's clean, decisive, and domineering actions were like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, completely suppressing the arrogance of everyone present.

For a moment, the two sides stared at each other in silence, neither daring to utter another sound.

The crow, which had been so aggressive just moments before, now knew that things would not end well after seeing Ji Lin's tough approach.

He glared fiercely at Chen Haonan and Ji Lin, muttered a few curses under his breath, and then waved his hand, leading his men away in a dejected manner.

Seeing that the situation was under control and that Crow and the others had left the scene, Ji Lin decided to lead his team back to the police station.

Upon returning to the police station, Ji Lin immediately summoned his subordinates to plan the next steps.

He first assigned Li Ying to closely monitor the Dongxing Society's every move, leaving no stone unturned; at the same time, he arranged for Cai Yuanqi to lead a team to conduct an in-depth investigation into Zhu Tao.

Not long after, an important message quickly arrived from Cai Yuanqi's side...
