A passing traveler through the heavens

After Ji Lin successfully brought Kowloon Walled City under his control, the entire situation underwent a dramatic change.

Ji Lin was promoted to Chief Superintendent as a matter of course, thus replacing Jason as Chief Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

As a result, within the O-Team, Ji Lin was virtually the most powerful and influential figure.

Initially, the foreigners had only intended to reward Ji Lin with a few inspector positions as a reward, in order to appease him and control the situation.

However, to their surprise, Ji Lin was not satisfied with this. He directly promoted people who were close to him to the position of inspector.

Even Huang Bingyao, Cao Dahua, and others who originally belonged outside the O-Division were promoted to inspectors because they gained Ji Lin's favor.

In addition, Ji Lin promoted Li Ying and Cai Yuanqi to the position of chief inspector, and he also kept them by his side to jointly guard the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

Then, after Ji Lin handed over his position as the chief instructor of the Flying Tigers, his team was forced to disperse and were transferred to different departments such as the Major Crimes Unit, the Intelligence Investigation Department, and the Anti-Drug Unit.

Those foreigners thought they could weaken Ji Lin's influence in the police station through this method, but things didn't go as planned. They never expected that this move would further strengthen Ji Lin's control over other departments.

The reason is simple: everyone under Ji Lin is an elite talent capable of handling things independently. No matter where they are, they can quickly stand out and play a significant role.

Meanwhile, the O-Team, led by Ji Lin, also welcomed a group of new faces, including Hua Sheng, Zhang Chongbang, and Qiu Gang'ao.

Behind this seemingly ordinary personnel transfer lies the sinister intention of the foreign executives—they are attempting to significantly weaken Ji Lin's Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) by introducing these new recruits.

However, for Ji Lin, who was well aware of the plot development, these people were by no means ordinary people; they were all outstanding characters in their respective movie storylines.

For this reason, Ji Lin decided to take the opportunity to test the waters and see if any of the newcomers had secretly colluded with those foreigners.

One night, Ji Lin suddenly had the idea to hold a party and led the members of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau straight to a nightclub.

In the dazzling, decadent atmosphere, everyone clinked glasses and drank heartily.

As one glass of strong liquor after another went down, the alcohol gradually began to take effect, and Ji Lin took the opportunity to subtly use the princess to conduct lie detector tests on everyone.

To his delight, after a thorough investigation, Ji Lin discovered that these young people, fresh out of police academy, were full of enthusiasm and had no connection with anyone.

After confirming this, Ji Lin finally felt relieved and relaxed.

Since everyone was innocent, Ji Lin simply put aside his concerns and directly challenged his new colleagues to a drinking contest.

The room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Before they knew it, they had gone through several rounds of drinks, and the night was getting deeper. Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Lin got up and went to the bar to settle the bill for the night.

Just as he took out his wallet to pay, a piercing cry for help from a woman suddenly broke through the night sky and reached his ears.

Ji Lin looked up at the sound and saw a woman with a pretty face who looked very much like a certain "Bingbing" struggling desperately in the distance, trying to break free from the rough pulling of a burly man.

Just then, a crisp system notification suddenly rang in Ji Lin's ears.

"Ding!"

"Name Qiudi"

"Rating 85"

"Favorability 40"

"Number of attempts: 0"

Upon hearing this voice, Ji Lin did not hesitate at all and quickly came to Qiu Di's side.

Ji Lin shouted, "Friend, in broad daylight, a girl doesn't want to be with you, and you still won't stop? Going against a girl's will is a crime!"

However, the burly man didn't take Ji Lin seriously at all, glaring at him fiercely and cursing.

"Who do you think you are? This is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, get the hell out of here, or you'll regret it!" With that, he continued to grope Qiu Di.

How could Ji Lin tolerate such an arrogant and domineering person? Without saying a word, he suddenly threw a punch, which landed squarely on the burly man's face.

With a muffled thud, the burly man's nose bled profusely, and he staggered backward with a scream.

Seeing that his own men had been wronged, the burly man's original companions immediately surrounded him.

One of them reached out and stopped the burly man who was about to retaliate, then stepped up to Ji Lin, looked him up and down, and said.

"Kid, you've got guts! Daring to meddle in our Vietnamese gang's business. Let me tell you, my name is Tony. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about letting this go!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer: "Hmph, you think you're so great? To survive in this world, you need power and connections."

"The Vietnamese gang is nothing but a bunch of small fry, how dare they swagger around here?"

Tony was clearly surprised that Ji Lin dared to look down on their Vietnamese gang so much, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He roared and charged straight at Ji Lin, swinging his fist. The other Vietnamese gang members rushed forward as well, trying to outnumber him.

However, in Ji Lin's eyes, these people's actions were nothing short of childish.

He nimbly dodged left and right, easily avoiding his opponents' attacks. Then, he swiftly struck, each move precisely hitting the enemy's vital points.

In just a few breaths, the group of Vietnamese gang members who were usually so arrogant and domineering collapsed to the ground one by one, completely unable to fight anymore.

Just then, Ji Lin's men also came out of the private room.

When they saw the scene before them, their previously drowsy eyes instantly brightened.

At Ji Lin's simple signal, his men quickly rushed forward and firmly subdued the troublemakers.

It's important to understand that assaulting a police officer is no laughing matter; once convicted, the consequences can be quite severe.

Ji Lin methodically directed his men to escort these people back to the police station, and then he took out some banknotes from his pocket as compensation for the nightclub's losses.

After doing all this, he turned and left the nightclub.

When he reached the entrance of the nightclub, Ji Lin stopped, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and enjoyed the momentary relaxation brought by the smoke swirling in his lungs.

However, just as he was about to open the car door, get in, and leave, he suddenly heard a clear and pleasant voice behind him: "Um... hello, my name is Qiu Di, thank you for saving me just now."

Ji Lin turned around and saw Qiu Di looking at him with gratitude.

Ji Lin smiled slightly and replied naturally, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."

"If it were possible, Miss Qiudi, would you do me the honor of inviting me for a late-night snack?"

As he said this, his gaze remained fixed on Qiu Di, watching as Qiu Di's favorability rating in the system steadily increased.

Qiu Di hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded and agreed with a smile.

So, the two went to a nearby restaurant for a delicious late-night snack. During the meal, they chatted happily, and the distance between them grew considerably…

The next morning, Ji Lin was the first to open his eyes. Looking at Qiu Di, who was still fast asleep beside him, he gently covered her with the blanket, afraid of waking her up.

Then, Ji Lin got up and sat on the edge of the bed, and began to check the rewards the system had given him.

A crisp notification sound rang in my mind.

"Ding"

"Name Qiudi"

"Rating 85"

"Favorability 100"

"Number of attempts: 0"

"You are now being randomly rewarded with a Time Acceleration Card."

Ji Lin turned his attention to the system's description of the reward.

The Time Acceleration Card has strict usage restrictions; it can only function within the current dimension and can instantly allow the host's time to jump to five years in the future!

Moreover, this card also grants the host a unique function—the ability to pre-set the goals to be achieved during these accelerated five years.

Over the next five years, the Time Acceleration Card will do its best to help the host achieve their goal, and even if it fails to achieve it, it will get as close to the goal as possible.

After putting away the time acceleration card, Ji Lin felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, so he decided to take a nap and get some rest before using the time acceleration card again when he had the chance…
