Xu Bai fell silent when he heard the reason Zhu Nianyan gave.

Of course.

This wasn’t because he didn’t believe Zhu Nianyan. After all, his microexpression analysis results were obvious. He could tell at a glance if she was lying.

Zhu Nianyan wasn’t lying.

But that wasn’t the point.

‘The point is, you’re a petty thief. At a time like this, you already know I’m a detective. Shouldn’t you say that you picked up the wallet from the floor? Don’t you know anything?’

Xu Bai was speechless.

He only said one sentence before Zhu Nianyan self-destructed and admitted that she had stolen his wallet.

‘Well…’

“You’re giving me a hard time.”

Xu Bai could not help but sigh. He looked at Zhu Nianyan, who had a youthful and unruly expression just now, but now looked pitiful. “Qiuqiu, let me go.” He stood up and took off his handcuffs from behind.

“Come with me.”

Zhu Nianyan looked at the rose-gold handcuffs Xu Bai took out and felt terrible. She opened her mouth and wanted to beg for mercy, but the words were on the tip of her tongue. “Um… Mr. Agent, can you not handcuff me?” Xu Bai stopped and looked at Zhu Nianyan curiously.

Zhu Nianyan’s expression was pitiful. “Can I speak to my grandfather? Don’t worry, I promise I won’t run.”

Xu Bai shook his head.

“Shit! ”

“But… ”

Zhu Nianyan was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment.

Zhu Cong, who was holding a red handkerchief in his hand, walked down the stairs and shook his head speechlessly. He said to his granddaughter, “You’re still making a fuss all day long and asking me to pass the position of sect master to you. If I pass it to you, I’m afraid you’ll have your house confiscated by law enforcement the next day.”

Zhu Nianyan pouted with tears in her eyes. “Grandpa

Zhu Cong ignored him and said to Xu Bai, “Are you done playing? Come over if you’re done.”

Xu Bai smiled and walked up to Zhu Nianyan. He put away the handcuffs and took out the pink wallet from his pocket. He replaced the wallet in Zhu Nianyan’s hand and turned around to walk towards Zhu Cong, who had already sat down on the sofa.

When Zhu Nianyan saw this scene, she was once again stunned on the spot.

Wait a minute.

‘Granddad knew this agent?’

‘That can’t be right.’

Didn’t Grandpa say that we’re good at nothing and that the most taboo thing is to deal with law enforcement?

Zhu Nianyan’s thoughts flew.

Xu Bai sat down again and looked at the red handkerchief in front of him.

Then, he looked at the two black pills that were revealed. “What are they?”

He looked over as he asked. [Elixir Name: Vigor Pill]

[Quality: Blue]

[Effect: As the name implies, it rejuvenates vigor. After consuming it, it can stimulate potential and allow one’s vigor to reappear.]

[Note: “Don’t believe me. This is a large-sized Madam’s Oral Blood Tonic.”]

[Elixir Name: Vitality Pill]

[Quality: Blue]

[Effect: After consumption, it can replenish Vitality.]

[Note: “Yes, this is a medium-sized Madam’s Oral Blood Tonic.”]

Zhu Cong stood up and took a bottle of mineral water and two pills. He handed them to Xu Bai. “Eat these two pills.”

Xu Bai originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw that the old man had already unscrewed the mineral water and brought the pills to his mouth, he thought for a moment and took the two pills. He swallowed them with mineral water.

At this moment, Zhu Nianyan walked to her grandfather, Zhu Cong’s side. When she saw this scene, she felt a little strange.

“Grandpa, who is this? Didn’t you say that you don’t interact with law enforcement officers?”

“He wasn’t in law enforcement when I met him.”

When Zhu Nianyan heard this, she blinked.

The next second.

Zhu Nianyan seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xu Bai. “You’re the Lil Bai that Grandpa mentioned.” Lil Bai?

Xu Bai l s lips twitched as he looked at Zhu Cong.

Zhu Cong ignored him. Instead, he grabbed Xu Bail s right arm again and touched it.

Zhu Nianyan widened her eyes and looked at Xu Bai.

She did not know that Xu Bai was the Lil Bai her grandfather was talking about. Now that she knew, she naturally looked at Xu Bai as if she had heard a lot about him. Her gaze sized him up.

After all, her grandfather had praised Xu Bai fiercely. He said that Xu Bai had the most potential he had seen so far. He could even lead their Miracle Hands Empty Sect from the heretical nine sects to the righteous path.

In her grandfather’s words, if Xu Bai nodded and agreed to join their sect, her grandfather would pass the position of sect master to Xu Bai the next day.

‘What?’

The Miracle Hands Empty Sect was a family sect.

How simple would that be?

One day, when her grandfather heard her father’s doubts, he waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that if he married his precious granddaughter to Lil Bai, they would be a family.

Zhu Nianyan was furious when she heard that.

It was one thing to give the position of sect master of the Miracle Hands Empty Sect to an outsider, but he even wanted to marry her off.

Dream on.

She wasn’t going to do it.

Right now?

It seemed like…

It seemed like…

Actually… it was not impossible.

After all.

He was so handsome.

Zhu Nianyan stared at Xu Bail s face. As she looked, her eyes could not help but sparkle.

Zhu Cong put down Xu Bail s right arm and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Xu Bai and said, “It’s alright. I can see that the damage to your foundation isn’t very deep. Otherwise, these two pills of mine won’t be able to repair your foundation.”

‘Is there a possibility that your medicinal pill is useless?’

‘The reason why you feel better is because I just increased my External Level by one level?’

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Cong, who was sighing. He thought for a moment and decided not to tell Zhu Cong about it.

Zhu Cong silently calculated in his heart and looked at Xu Bai. “You still have to persevere in taking these two pills. At your speed, you have to persist for at least a month. Fortunately, your foundation isn’t seriously damaged. Otherwise, if you want to recover, you can only rely on the Essence Replenishing Pill. Unfortunately, ever since the Alchemy Sect’s Grand Elder passed away 30 years ago, no one has been able to refine it successfully. I heard that the sect master of the Heavenly Secrets Sect asked the Alchemy Sect to open the furnace. In the end, seven furnaces exploded in a row. You’re still alright, still alright.”

As he spoke.

Zhu Cong looked relieved. After all, he was the first to see that Xu Bai was a

good seedling. He also believed that in time, someone would definitely take a fancy to Xu Bai and guide him into the Dao.

Unfortunately…

He and the Miracle Hands Empty Sect are not fated to be together.

Zhu Cong thought to himself. Once again, he couldn’t help but sigh.

This feeling was like the person he had finally taken a fancy to did not like him. He even had to watch helplessly as the person he had taken a fancy to ran away with someone else.

For some reason, Zhu Cong felt something tighten around his head, as if something was trying to pin him down.

The Heavenly Secrets Sect?

Was it the sect from Su Meng’s family?

When Xu Bai heard Zhu Cong’s words, he frowned and said, “Is the sect master of the Heavenly Secrets Sect surnamed Su?”

Zhu Cong came back to his senses, looked at Xu Bai, and nodded.

“Yes, you know him?”

…I guess so.”

Xu Bai thought for a moment. “I know that Homeland Security has a guy called

Su Bancheng.”

When Zhu Cong heard this, he laughed. “Yes, it’s their family. By the way, you didn’t meet Su Bancheng, right?”

Xu Bai was slightly stunned.

“What happens if we meet?”

“Su Bancheng is the divine master of this generation’s Heavenly Secrets Sect. His divination of heavenly secrets is superb. In front of him, you can’t keep the secret at all.”

.Are you serious?”

When Xu Bai heard this, his eyebrows twitched.

In that case, did Su Bancheng have the system?

That wasn’t right.

With this thought in mind, Xu Bai immediately eliminated it. If Su Bancheng really knew that he had the system, he definitely knew his true Level.

He thought about it seriously. When he met Su Bancheng back then, other than the strange look he gave him, there was nothing special about him.

Wait a minute.

‘The man who followed him.’

Xu Bai thought about the two Homeland Security agents who followed him to work today and couldn’t help but frown.

‘That’s not right either.’

If it was because he was exposed, Su Bancheng wouldn’t have sent two rookies who didn’t even pass the tracking specialization. At the very least, they should be the same as the two guys who he only knew existed but didn’t find to protect Su Meng.

Furthermore…

Xu Bai believed in Team Leader Zhou. Although this guy always had the image of an old cadre and liked to act like an official, he was still quite good to him.

‘Never mind.’

Xu Bai thought about it for a while but could not come up with anything. He shook his head and looked at Zhu Cong. Then, he got down to business. “Old man, I have something important to do this time.”

Zhu Cong chuckled. “I guessed it. You came to my place for no reason. How is it? Now that you’re a law enforcement officer, you want to draw a line between

He was not taking the blame.

Xu Bai shrugged and said, “Old man, I think you’re the one who drew the line between us. You said that you’re a thief and I’m a soldier. It’s best if we don’t interact anymore.”

Heartlessness was never his character.

He had to be righteous!

As Xu Bai spoke, the expression on his face turned serious. “You’re more familiar with thieving. Whose territory is 33rd Street?” There were 360 lines, and each line was different.

However, all 360 lines had a common characteristic.

To mark out territory.

Being good at writing and reading as a thief was no exception. Back then, Xu

Bai also learned from Zhu Cong that thieves also knew how to mark territory.

When Zhu Cong heard Xu Bai talk about serious matters, his expression was no longer relaxed. Instead, it became a little serious.

After a while.

Zhu Cong stroked his beard and looked at Xu Bai.

“33rd Street. This place is a little special. What kind of place has been stolen from?”

“The pharmacy.”

Zhu Cong looked at Xu Bai speechlessly. “I don’t know anyone who would attack a pharmacy. Forget it, what did you lose?”

Xu Bai said.

“From the looks of it, we’ve lost two, a rare calligraphy painting worth 100 million, and a stalk of Dragon Heart Herb.”

..Hiss!”
