A passing traveler through the heavens

Not long after, several police cars arrived with sirens blaring, and several officers quickly got out, handcuffed Ding Xie, who was lying on the ground, and took him away.

After the police officers left, Nguyen Mai, who had been observing the battle from a distance, quickly walked up.

At this moment, Ruan Mei's face was full of worry, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ji Lin, looking him up and down, afraid that he had been injured.

Seeing this, Ji Lin smiled slightly, reached out and gently touched Ruan Mei's head, comforting her, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

However, when Ji Lin's hand touched Ruan Mei's hair, her cheeks instantly flushed red. Ji Lin noticed Ruan Mei's unusual expression and quickly withdrew his hand, revealing an embarrassed smile on his face.

When they returned to Ruan Mei’s home, Cai, the old woman who lived with Ruan Mei, was sitting in the living room knitting a sweater.

She looked up and saw Ruan Mei leading a handsome and elegant man into her home. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little worried.

Ruan Mei noticed Grandma Cai's unusual behavior and quickly explained with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry! This is my friend Ji Lin. I happened to run into him today, so I invited him to come over for a visit."

After Ruan Mei recounted the whole story of how she met Ji Lin, Grandma Cai's tense expression gradually relaxed, and she revealed a kind smile.

Then, at Grandma Cai's warm invitation, Ji Lin gladly agreed to stay at Ruan Mei's house for a simple meal.

At the dinner table, Grandma Cai was full of curiosity about this young man she was meeting for the first time, and kept asking Ji Lin about his profession and family background.

Ji Lin answered Grandma Cai's questions politely and patiently one by one, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Just as everyone was eating and chatting, the TV screen suddenly flickered a few times, and the image became blurry.

Seeing this, Ji Lin stood up and said, "I have some knowledge of electrical appliance repair, so perhaps I can help take a look at what's wrong."

After saying that, he walked to the television and began to examine it carefully. In a short while, after some adjustments and fiddling, the television returned to normal picture quality.

After the meal, Grandma Cai smiled and said to Ruan Mei, "Xiao Mei, go see Mr. Ji off." Ruan Mei nodded obediently and got up to accompany Ji Lin downstairs.

Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, Ji Lin stopped and turned to face Ruan Mei, sincerely saying, "I never expected your cooking skills to be so good. If any of you were to marry you in the future, you would be truly blessed!"

Hearing this praise, Ruan Mei blushed instantly and lowered her head, not daring to look Ji Lin in the eye.

Seeing this, Ji Lin put away his playful intentions.

He gently patted Ruan Mei's shoulder and said tenderly, "Alright, go back now. Thank you for your hospitality today."

After saying that, Ji Lin turned around, got into the car, started the engine, and slowly drove away from the residential area.

Ruan Mei stood quietly in the spot, gazing in the direction Ji Lin had left, a faint trace of reluctance in her eyes…

Back at the police station, Ji Lin sat at his desk, pondered for a moment, and then picked up his phone to dial Xiao Zhuang's number.

The call was quickly answered, and Xiao Zhuang's steady and powerful voice came through: "Hello, Brother Lin?"

Ji Lin got straight to the point: "Xiao Zhuang, I have a task for you. Go and deal with the four sons of a man named Ding Xie."

"These four people seem to be involved in organized crime, and their names all contain the character for crab. Taking them out will be like eliminating a scourge for the people."

Xiao Zhuang replied without hesitation, "Understood, boss! Mission accomplished!"

After hanging up the phone, Ji Lin leaned back in his chair, pondering the matter of Fang Zhanbo.

To be honest, he didn't really intend to recruit Fang Zhanbo.

After all, the Zhutian Group, run by Ji Lin, has always been engaged in the real economy and has rarely been involved in financial products such as stocks.

This time, helping Fong Chin-bo get rid of the Ting family can be considered as doing him a great favor.

Time flies, and soon Ji Lin received a message from Xiao Zhuang informing him that the matter had been successfully completed.

Moreover, Ding Xie, who was arrested and imprisoned, eventually died after absorbing 50% of Ji Lin's power.

Upon learning the result, Ji Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips.

The next morning, Ji Lin carefully selected some gifts and carried them toward Ruan Mei's house.

When he rang the doorbell, the door opened quickly, and Ruan Mei's delicate face appeared before him. Seeing Ji Lin's reappearance, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and a bright smile bloomed on her face, clearly indicating that she was extremely happy.

After seeing Ji Lin off yesterday, Ruan Mei returned home. Grandma Cai said to her earnestly, "Xiao Mei, if you really like someone, you have to take the initiative."

"Besides, in my opinion, Ji Lin is a pretty good young man. He looks energetic and seems to care about you a lot. He'll definitely treat you well."

After hearing what Granny Cai said, Ruan Mei's heart pounded like a rabbit's, but at the same time, she secretly made up her mind.

Now, Ruan Mei's congenital heart disease, which had troubled her for many years, has been miraculously cured!

This undoubtedly gave her unprecedented courage and hope, allowing her to pursue her own happiness without any reservations.

Grandma Cai, who has always cared for and loved her, also kindly said that although she is old, she is still able to take good care of herself.

There's no need for Ruan Mei to worry too much; she hopes Ruan Mei can pay more attention to her own feelings and needs.

So when Ruan Mei reunited with Ji Lin, the long-suppressed joy in her heart surged forth like a tidal wave.

She walked into the house with a shy expression, brought Ji Lin in, and chatted with him. At first, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant.

Grandma Cai was still in the room with him, but as time went by, she made an excuse that she needed to go for a walk and left the room.

In an instant, the once bustling space fell silent, leaving only Ji Lin and Ruan Mei staring at each other.

At this moment, a subtle and awkward silence filled the room.

Ruan Mei nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, her lips trembling slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.

She hesitated several times, her eyes darting around, as if she were going through a fierce internal struggle.

After a long internal struggle, Ruan Mei finally mustered up her courage, took a deep breath, and stammered, but for some reason, she found it difficult to say certain things.

She paused, then continued to organize her thoughts, trying to make her expression clearer and more fluent.

After much deliberation, Ruan Mei seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly raised her head, looked straight into Ji Lin's eyes, and shouted in a slightly trembling but sincere voice, "Brother Lin, I like you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Mei's cheeks flushed bright red, like a ripe apple.

She dared not look at Ji Lin any longer, and hurriedly covered her shy face with her hands to make herself appear less shy.

At the same time, a crisp and pleasant system notification sound suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence.

"Ding!" A crisp notification sound rang in my ears, followed by the system's emotionless voice.

Name: Ruan Mei

"Rating 100"

"Favorability 100"

"Number of attempts: 0"

"A random armor gift pack will now be awarded as a reward."

Ji Lin was initially somewhat nonchalant, but when he heard what the system said, he was instantly stunned.

A few seconds later, as if suddenly snapping out of his daze, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but swear: "Damn it!"

"Ruan Mei, I love you!" Ji Lin shouted loudly, his voice filled with joy and affection.

He was so overwhelmed with happiness that he felt as if the whole world consisted only of him and the woman in his arms.

Then, Ji Lin lowered his head slightly and gazed tenderly into Ruan Mei's beautiful and captivating eyes.

At that moment, the world seemed to stop...
