A passing traveler through the heavens

Currently, Ji Lin holds the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Hong Kong Island Police Force, responsible for managing operational affairs.

He is considered one of the strong contenders for the Commissioner's seat. However, Lau Kit-fai, who is also the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of management, is also a popular candidate for this high position.

Liu Jiehui holds British citizenship and has close ties with some high-ranking Westerners.

For this reason, those foreign executives, for some reason, decided to support Liu Jiehui and deliberately promoted him to compete fiercely with Ji Lin.

The purpose was to prevent Ji Lin, a Chinese, from becoming the top police officer in Hong Kong Island.

The situation on Hong Kong Island has now changed dramatically.

The once dominant triads of Hong Kong Island, Wo Shing and Hung Hing, have both made a remarkable transformation, successfully laundering their image and smoothly transitioning to new roles.

It would be a big mistake to assume that they have successfully gone ashore and cleaned up their act and therefore no longer concern themselves with triad affairs.

Under Ji Lin's instructions, the two of them joined forces to firmly suppress other triads in the entire Hong Kong Island area, making it difficult for them to make any major moves.

Thanks to this situation, the overall crime rate on Hong Kong Island has shown a rapid downward trend.

Zhutian Group has become an internationally renowned company, and Huan'er has also helped Ji Lin acquire the remaining twelve zodiac animal heads at various auctions and from private collectors.

At this point, Ji Lin had acquired all twelve zodiac animal heads.

Within the police force, a group of elites, including Li Ying, Chen Jiaju, Song Zijie, and Cai Yuanqi, stood out and became key figures and decision-makers in various important departments of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

Ji Lin is undoubtedly the top police officer, but unfortunately he has not yet received a formal appointment.

It is worth mentioning that, with the help of the Time Acceleration Card, Li Ying and Cai Yuanqi were also promoted to the high rank of Chief Superintendent.

Ya Zi was also assigned by Ji Lin to serve as the head of the police force's news and public relations department, and had the privilege of reporting directly to the commissioner.

These individuals also possess the right to participate in Constitutional Committee meetings and vote in elections; only a very small group of people in the entire police force's senior leadership have this right.

After receiving all the information, Ji Lin slowly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in his office. He stood quietly, his gaze passing through the transparent glass as he looked down at the bustling Hong Kong Island below.

It must be admitted that the view from the Deputy Commissioner of Police's office is much more spectacular than the view from his office when he was the Chief Superintendent.

Just as Ji Lin was immersed in the beautiful scenery before him, there was a soft knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, the office door was pushed open, and Li Ying walked in. He said with a serious expression, "Brother Lin, Brother Yi just notified us to hold a meeting."

Hearing this, Ji Lin nodded slightly, turned around and walked to the coat placed on the chair. He put on the coat quickly, straightened his collar, and then walked towards the conference room.

When Ji Lin entered the conference room, it was already filled with other senior executives.

Once everyone had arrived, the head of the department cleared his throat and said, "Colleagues, I have an important announcement to make. I will be traveling to the UK soon to handle some business. During my absence, Liu Jiehui will temporarily serve as acting head of the department."

After saying this, the leader glanced around the conference room, his gaze finally settling on Liu Jiehui, giving him an encouraging look…

The meeting ended quickly, but Ji Lin did not get up and leave immediately like the others.

He remained quietly seated, lost in thought.

At this moment, Liu Jiehui slowly walked up to Ji Lin, smiled and extended his right hand, and said politely, "Ji sir, we will need your support and assistance in the coming period of time. I hope we can cooperate closely."

However, Ji Lin did not respond to Liu Jiehui's friendly overtures.

He glanced expressionlessly at Liu Jiehui's outstretched hand, then stood up without hesitation and left the conference room without saying a word.

Back in his office, Ji Lin found that members of his faction had been waiting for him for quite some time.

When Ji Lin stepped into the room, everyone who was sitting stood up and greeted him in unison.

Ji Lin nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then calmly walked to the head seat and sat down.

At this moment, Li Ying couldn't wait to speak up: "Brother Lin, that foreigner was so arrogant! He was clearly not giving you any face."

"They actually let that Liu Jiehui serve as the acting director! Isn't this a slap in our face?" His tone was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Sitting to the side, Cai Yuanqi quickly chimed in, "That's right, Brother Lin! The entire police force, from top to bottom, is now on our side!"

"Just say the word, and I guarantee that no order issued by Liu Jiehui will ever leave his office!" he said, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

However, Ji Lin merely glanced at Cai Yuanqi indifferently before speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Listen up, all of you. In the coming period, as long as the Director hasn't returned to Hong Kong Island, we must execute every order given by Lau Kit-fai flawlessly."

"Furthermore, all relevant information must be reported to Liu Jiehui openly and without concealment. Do you understand?"

"You're not allowed to pull any tricks behind my back!"

Li Ying and the others were taken aback at first, but they quickly reacted and replied in unison, "Yes!"

They then exchanged a glance. Although they were somewhat puzzled, they dared not disobey Ji Lin's instructions and silently left the office.

After everyone left, Ji Lin thought to himself, "Did they really think that the position of acting director was so easy to hold?"

"Letting someone in management directly command specific actions, that means the top foreign boss is really eager to promote Liu Jiehui!"

A slight, almost imperceptible sneer appeared on his lips.

At this moment, Ji Lin sat leisurely in that large and comfortable office chair, slowly turning his body to look out the floor-to-ceiling window.

However, Ji Lin's gaze was not drawn to the bustling city outside the window; his thoughts had already drifted far away.

Ji Lin was already planning how to coldly observe Liu Jiehui's next move.

He couldn't wait to see Liu Jiehui commit a dereliction of duty, so he could ruthlessly expel him from the game...

On a quiet night, Ji Lin was immersed in a sweet dream, completely unaware of the changing winds and clouds outside.

Suddenly, a sharp and urgent telephone ringing rang out like thunder, abruptly pulling Ji Lin back to reality from his sleep.

He groggily reached for his phone on the bedside table, still feeling a bit annoyed and dissatisfied.

"Hello?" Ji Lin answered vaguely.

"Brother Lin, this is Li Ying! I'm really sorry to disturb your rest so late, but there's an important matter that I must report to you immediately."

"Just now, Liu Jiehui, in his capacity as acting director, ordered an emergency meeting!" Li Ying's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this news, Ji Lin felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, instantly sobering him up.

His eyes widened, his heart pounded, and his mind raced through all the possibilities. Without hesitation, he hung up the phone, quickly got out of bed, and dressed.

Then he rushed out of the house and drove straight to the police headquarters.

When Ji Lin arrived at the police headquarters, he saw Li Ying, Cai Yuanqi, and Ya Zi already waiting eagerly at the entrance.

Seeing Ji Lin's car stop, they hurried forward to greet him.

As soon as Ji Lin got out of the car, Li Ying couldn't wait to say, "Brother Lin, just as you arrived, Liu Jiehui, in his capacity as acting commissioner, announced that the entire Hong Kong Island was under a state of high alert."

Before Li Ying could finish speaking, Ji Lin's face was filled with disbelief...
