"What are you eating? Spicy soup? Or stuffed buns?"

Suddenly, the door to his home was knocked on.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Huh?

Is someone here?

Bai Mo got up to open the door, only to see an old woman with white hair outside, smiling broadly.

"Xiaomo, your sister-in-law just gave birth to a little brother for you, hehehe.

"Take these eggs and candies to eat!"

It turned out to be the old lady neighbor from upstairs, who had taken good care of Bai Mo when his parents passed away all those years ago.

Receiving the paper bag she handed over, and seeing the eggs and candies inside, Bai Mo grinned.

"Shall I go upstairs to see the little brother?"

The old lady waved her hand, still smiling.

"No, no, you can't see him!

"The child isn't thriving well, can't meet people."

Bai Mo nodded, then took out his phone.

"Then I'll send a red envelope to the little brother."

The old lady waved her hand again.

"No need!

"You just finished your college entrance exam, you'll need money for many things later on.

"Actually... sigh... hehehe... I feel quite embarrassed...

"Could I ask you for a pen?"

Bai Mo frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

The old lady explained.

"In a few days, we'll be having a grabbing ceremony for Xiaobao.

"Preparing some little things for it.

"You're the top scholar, and we're thinking, maybe Xiaobao will pick your pen."

Bai Mo suddenly understood and immediately turned around to get the pen he used in the college entrance exam.

It was a very old carbon pen, used for many years, with countless refills replaced.

Bai Mo expanded his divine sense through the ceiling, reaching upstairs, sensing traces of illness in the child's body.

Indeed, there was an illness, but not serious.

Silently, traces of medicinal aura drifted from his fingers, integrating into the carbon pen, before handing it to the old lady.

"I used this one during the exam.

"Grandma, you can take it."

The old lady took the pen with great care, thanked him profusely, smiling so widely, and after some small talk, happily turned and went upstairs.

...

The door closed.

Bai Mo sat at the dining table, took out his phone, and continued browsing through the delivery app.

He couldn't decide what to eat for a while.

Looking at a few cloves of garlic on the table, "...how about ordering a meat bun, and eating it with these garlic cloves?"

Suddenly, the window went dark, as someone climbed down past Bai Mo's window from above, stepping onto his windowsill, intending to keep climbing down.

What?

Bai Mo was slightly taken aback.

What is this?

The neighbor Old Wang climbing walls?

Bai Mo lifted his head, made eye contact with the person outside the window, and saw his inconspicuous sportswear, sturdy figure, masked face, fierce eyes, and... the unconscious child in his arms.

Climbing windows to steal children?

Bai Mo stepped forward and with a "whoosh," opened the window to confront the criminal.

He heard the criminal speak in a ferocious, low voice!

"Get lost!

"Don't meddle!

"Just pretend you didn't see anything!

"Or I'll kill your whole family!"

This person's whole body exuded a strong bloody aura, wafting into the room with the wind, revealing him to be a Bloodthirsty who couldn't control his own blood qi!

...

Outside Bai Mo's home, at the stairway corner.

A girl in an Immortal Technique Committee uniform was crouching, hiding herself, and listening intently to the sounds coming from the earphone!

Suddenly, an urgent command came through the earphone.

"Quick, go to the fourth floor!

"The criminal stole a child and has infiltrated the west unit on the fourth floor!

"Quick, you must ensure the safety of the west unit on the fourth floor!"

This girl, named Ren Zhenzhen, was a newly recruited Immortal Technique Committee member. Upon hearing the command, her face changed, and she dashed downstairs!

She was here lying in wait, initially intending to catch the criminal and protect the child. Who would've thought, the child had already been taken, and the residents on the fourth floor were also in danger!

The first priority of the Immortal Technique Committee is to protect the public!

At this moment, she exploded with full force, rushing down the stairs, the friction of her shoe soles against the floor making a "whoosh" sound as she turned the corner, reaching the door of the west unit, and with all her strength, Immortal Martial Sequence Nine's power fully unleashed, she gripped the security door.

"Ah!"

It was her angry roar.

Bam!

The lock of the security door was snapped.

Bang!

The security door was violently yanked open.

"Stop right there!"

She shouted and was about to rush in…

Only to see a tall young man stepping on the criminal's head inside the room.

A chubby red fox was holding a baby, teasing the baby's face with the tip of its tail.

At this moment, both the young man and the red fox looked over, seeing her urgent and embarrassed expression.

"Why… why are you breaking my door?"

...

"Expert Bai Mo, I'm really sorry."

In Bai Mo's living room, the criminal was already handcuffed, hooded, injected with drugs, and lying nearby asleep.

The child upstairs was quietly sent back.

Ren Zhenzhen, her team leader, and her teammate, the three of them sat on Bai Mo's sofa, looking dejected.

The chubby team leader, in his thirties, had a face like a steamed bun, had just awakened Immortal Dream, was promoted to Sequence Nine, and joined the Immortal Technique Committee. At this moment, he was explaining the ins and outs of the situation to Bai Mo…

"We discovered the whereabouts of this wanted criminal, researched, and arranged this capture task, thinking it was foolproof. But who would have thought…

"If it weren't for the coincidence of you being home today, I'm afraid our task would have failed."

These people were all new committee members, responsible for the Labor South Road area.

To put it bluntly, Bai Mo, who joined earlier, was considered their senior. He had no choice but to comfort them at this moment.

"Don't be too discouraged, everyone was a newcomer once.

"Just be more careful next time."

The chubby team leader nodded repeatedly.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out, saw the caller ID "Squadron Leader."

His face turned pale again, his chubby hands trembled as he answered the phone.

Soon, he heard a roar from the other end.

"What the hell are you doing?

"When you detect a wanted criminal's movement, just go to their home directly to protect them. Why are you ambushed in the corridor?

"Do you think you're the smartest?

"Do you still want to be a team leader?

"With your terrible performance..."

The yelling was too loud, as if the phone was vibrating, and the saliva seemed to spurt out of the receiver.

The chubby team leader was so pale from the scolding, he was scared stiff, mumbling responses.

Bai Mo smirked from the side, listening to the familiar voice on the phone.

This hoarse, curse-filled ranting… wasn't it Zhang Shan!

This guy actually got promoted to squadron leader?

And as soon as he became an officer, his "scolding" skills naturally became this proficient?

After a long time, finished being scolded, the team leader handed the phone to Bai Mo, allowing Zhang Shan and Bai Mo to exchange a few words. Then, the team leader took the criminal, got up, and said goodbye. They were also stopped at the door by Black Gloves, who pointed to the broken security door, scolded them, and promised to find someone to fix it before they could leave.

...

Soon after, a worker came upstairs to fix the door, with tools in hand, knocking and replacing a new security door.

At the table inside, Bai Mo and Black Gloves were eating a meat sandwich and garlic.

Black Gloves was gnawing while watching the worker beside him.

"Oo oo oo, woo ooo oo?"

It noticed that the new security door was different from the previous one?

Bai Mo quietly explained.

"The previous one was an old model, already discontinued.

"This new one is more expensive."

Black Gloves suddenly understood and nodded assuredly.

Upon closer inspection, this new security door was indeed heavier, sturdier, and looked more expensive!

At this moment, Bai Mo's phone was rapidly receiving messages from Zhang Shan.

[Hahaha, we've all been promoted]

[Yu Tingting has gone to the Cold Weapon Design Institute]

[Lu Yang and his father have gone to the Immortal Technique Illegal Commercial Use Management Department]

[I've become a squadron leader!]

[Recently, there's been this vicious gang stealing children by climbing windows, I've got the main criminal, I'm going to fix them hard!]

Bai Mo frowned… Can Zhang Shan be reliable?

Thinking carefully, Zhang Shan has been through a lot, had a lot of training, so he should be reliable, right?

...

As the morning came, dark clouds shrouded the sky, and strong winds blew through the mountains.

Fox Mountain welcomed another day of work.

In the medicine field, Small and Big Eyes carried a bamboo basket, climbed trees, and walked amongst the branches and leaves, picking snake scale mangoes.

"Ow!"

It picked another one, carefully placing it into the bamboo basket on its back.

Unlike Big and Small Eyes, its right eye had a white eye circle, while the left did not. It seemed like the left eye was smaller than the right, thus the name Small and Big Eyes.
