"Wang Bin, where are we heading now?" Officer Miao asked as the car drove far away.

"Let's first take Dazhu back to Uncle Li's place to get the bullet out, then we'll deal with Boss Jin," Wang Bin thought for a moment and replied.

"No, I'm fine. I can go with you to deal with Boss Jin right now!" Li Dazhu got anxious upon hearing this; he didn't want to be a burden to everyone.

"There's no rush to deal with Boss Jin. It's best to wait until tonight. For now, let's head back to the hideout, rest up, and go over later!" Wang Bin didn't accept Li Dazhu's suggestion and directly gave Officer Miao the order.

Without a word, Officer Miao turned the steering wheel and headed towards the small building where Li Chengping and the others were.

Over an hour later, the car finally arrived in front of the small building where Li Chengping and the others were. They had already heard the roar of the car and knew Wang Bin and the others were back, making everyone very happy.

Especially Li Xiaolu, who, knowing her brother was back, excitedly ran to the window and waved her hands vigorously.

"Brother, I'm here!"

Since waking up, Li Xiaolu had been carefully looked after by everyone. Not only did she get to eat breakfast she hadn't had in over five years, but lunch was even more sumptuous, with white rice, various meats, and fresh vegetables.

All of this felt like a dream to her, and she cried the moment she tasted the white rice.

"If only my brother could have some white rice too!"

"He will. When your brother comes back, we'll make it for him!"

"White rice is nothing; Uncle Wang often makes hot pot for us. The lamb rolls are so delicious, they melt in your mouth!"

"Yeah, sometimes at night we even have bonfire parties, eating barbecue while listening to Uncle Wang play the guitar!"

"Yes, Uncle Wang's guitar playing is amazing. When he comes back, I'll ask him to play for you!"

"Thank you!"

At this moment, Li Xiaolu was moved again, imagining the beautiful scenes Bao and Little Nan described, tears streaming down her face.

"Xiaolu, Uncle Wang said not to stand too close to the window; it's not safe!" Bao and Little Nan saw Li Xiaolu standing by the window, waving at the vehicles, and quickly ran over to pull her aside.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"Ah, why is it not safe?" Li Xiaolu asked, puzzled.

"Be careful of snipers; you're an easy target like this!"

"Oh, I see. Can I watch the car from behind then?"

"Sure, just don't stick your body or head out!"

"Thank you for teaching me so much!"

"You're welcome. Uncle Wang said that when he's not around, it's up to us to protect the home!"

"Haha, you guys are so young and already know how to protect the home?"

"Of course, once I killed thirty zombies in a single day!"

"Bao, you're exaggerating again. You only ever killed twenty-eight at most, where did thirty come from?"

"Rounding up, don't you know?"

"That's not how it works. If we use your method, then I've killed thirty too!"

"Haha!"

Li Xiaolu laughed as she watched Bao and Little Nan bicker, finding the two boys very amusing.

"They're here!"

Just as Bao and Little Nan were still arguing, Li Xiaolu saw the car approaching the entrance and excitedly shouted before running downstairs.

Wang Bin got out of the car, glanced at the dirty Jinbei van, and lost the desire to put it into storage.

Li Dazhu, who had been missing his sister, quickly got out of the car as soon as it stopped and ran towards the entrance.

"Brother!"

"Xiaolu!"

As soon as Li Dazhu reached the doorway, he saw his sister rush out and throw herself into his arms, crying with excitement.

Seeing his sister, Li Dazhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night, when Wang Bin said he had taken his sister to a safe place, Li Dazhu didn't know if it was true. He had doubted Wang Bin and the others, but after spending the past few days with them, he felt Wang Bin was a good person and probably wouldn't lie to him. Still, there was a sliver of doubt in his heart, but now seeing his sister, all his previous worries vanished.

"Ah!"

"Brother, what's wrong? Oh no, you're hurt. Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, just a little arm injury. It'll be fine in a few days!"

Li Xiaolu didn't know Li Dazhu was injured and accidentally touched his wound, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Uncle Wang, Sister Miao, Sister Xiaoyue, you're finally back. We were all so worried about you!"

Bao and Little Nan quickly ran out, hugging Wang Bin and the others, laughing and joking.

Li Chengping, who had trouble with his legs, didn't come down, but he waved at them through the window as a greeting.

"This isn't the place to talk; let's go upstairs!" Wang Bin called everyone into the small building and soon they were on the third floor.

"Wang Bin, is this Li Xiaolu's brother, Li Dazhu?" Once everyone was upstairs, Li Chengping smiled at Li Dazhu.

"Yes, Uncle Li, this is Li Dazhu. Dazhu, this is the veteran officer Li Chengping, Officer Miao's mentor!" Wang Bin quickly introduced them.

"Hello, hello, I've heard so much about you from Officer Miao. You're an outstanding officer!" As a soldier, Li Dazhu had a great admiration for police officers, and having heard about Li Chengping's past from Officer Miao, he was eager to meet this veteran officer. So upon meeting Li Chengping, he was very excited and immediately shook his hands tightly.

"Let's not talk about that; those are stories from the past. Now, I'm just a cripple who can only look after the house for you!"

"Master, don't say that. Your leg will definitely heal!" Officer Miao was displeased upon hearing this.

"Haha, let's not talk about it, or Xiaoyun will get mad again. Ah, how did you get hurt?"

"It's nothing, just got shot in the arm!"

"Oh, that's serious and can't be taken lightly. We need to get the bullet out as soon as possible!"

"Master, don't worry. We drove back to remove the bullet for Dazhu!"

"Good, good, hurry and prepare for the surgery!"

Everyone busied themselves, finally gathering the tools needed for the surgery.

However, since Wang Bin hadn't anticipated needing to perform surgery, he hadn't brought a professional scalpel, so they had to use a dagger instead.

"There's no anesthetic, so bite on this cloth and bear with it!" Officer Miao said to Li Dazhu, holding a sterilized dagger.

Li Dazhu bit down on the cloth, his eyes resolute as he nodded at Officer Miao. Li Xiaolu and the others stood nervously by, watching.

Officer Miao was ruthless with the knife, directly inserting the dagger into the wound to extract the bullet. Since the dagger wasn't a professional bullet-extraction tool, it took several attempts to get the bullet out.

Each time Officer Miao tried to extract the bullet, Li Dazhu broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

Seeing Li Dazhu's toughness, everyone admired him greatly.

Wang Bin thought to himself that if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to endure it without crying out and would need someone to hold him down.

"You can't help but admire him; this is a true man!"
