Chapter 72 Dumplings, Danger
Li Jianguo pointed with a stick at several yellowed photos on the side.

"Ru Feng, I had someone check the car you mentioned. It's not local, so it's definitely suspicious. And the woman you mentioned, according to Xia's information, is one person. All signs indicate that this woman is very suspicious."

Xia Zhi looked around and noticed that Li Jianguo's office was filled with many photos, none of them very clear, but there were a lot of them.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a photograph. The woman in the photo had a sinister look on her face, and her triangular eyes exuded a chilling aura.

This was the woman who had escaped that day. Her breath caught in her throat, and she involuntarily took a few steps forward to get a better look.

The eyes of everyone present immediately turned to her.

Lu Beiting saw the photo she was staring at and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "This is a major force of the Burmese army. They are cunning and treacherous, and they have escaped from our hands several times."

Xia Zhi turned to look at them, "That woman who ran away that day was her. Could she still be in town? Or is she the person Li Baozhu is trying to contact?"

Li Jianguo narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then laughed, "Good, Xia provided very good information. Rufeng, you take your men and keep a close eye on Li Baozhu's movements."

"No, it would be better to find some unfamiliar faces," Lu Beiting said.

Li Jiangong nodded, "Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, please keep working hard. It's not easy for Beiting to find a wife, so let's not make any mistakes."

Xia Zhi blushed as she looked at the photos on the wall, including those of the two people she had met on the mountain last time.

Those who are nailed here must be leaders of small factions.

Xia Zhi pushed Lu Beiting out.

Li Jianguo called her again, "Xia, leave Beiting by the door and come in for a moment."

Li Jianguo sat down, looked at the young couple at the door, and took a sip of tea from his teacup.

Lu Beiting wanted to look further inside, but Li Jianguo walked to the door and closed it.

"Sir, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Li Jianguo looked at her seriously, "Xia, I want you to give me a more accurate answer about Beiting's illness, how much longer will it take?"

He was anxious. The longer this matter dragged on, the worse it would be for them. The group on the other side still harbored resentment towards Beiting because of something that happened more than ten years ago. If they found out, things would get really troublesome.

"Don't worry, Chief. Lu Beiting has regained feeling in his leg. Once the scars on his leg heal a little better, he can start rehabilitation training. I promise I will not let him delay his progress."

Li Jianguo sighed helplessly. He wasn't afraid that the child would be a burden to them; he was utterly afraid...

“Xia, Beiting is stubborn. He will do everything in his power to arrest people or get things done, but because of this, he has offended a lot of people. I’m worried about him.”

"More than ten years ago, I took pity on Bei Ting and brought him into the army, but less than six months after he joined the army, something happened."

The other side was very arrogant, and many people sneaked over. At that time, we received several missing persons cases a day.

When there was no other way, they let him blend in with the group of children and go with them. There were several other children with him at that time.

Some couldn't take it anymore and wanted to surrender, but when Bei Ting found out, he took care of them immediately. Later, that group of bastards set their sights on Bei Ting.

So we left them in the wolf's den to fend for themselves and kill each other. At that time, we thought we had failed, but then the child made contact with us again.

Then we launched a coordinated attack from within and without, catching the other side completely off guard. At that time, Lu Beiting, who was fourteen years old, was even more terrifying than the person in this photo. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he would kill anyone who offended him without hesitation.

Although he had performed meritorious service, the higher-ups said the child couldn't be kept, as he would cause trouble later. After all, I was the one who brought him back, and I had to be responsible for him. The child was also smart; he spent three years alone in a small, dark room. After he came out, all his health indicators were met, and I pleaded and begged, finally managing to keep him.”

As he said this, a gratified smile appeared on Li Jianguo's face. This was the most worthwhile thing he had ever done in his life.

"This kid didn't disappoint me at all. He knew the group on the other side like the back of his hand. Sometimes he could tell something was wrong at a glance. So there were too many people who wanted him dead, too many to count."

Li Jianguo sighed deeply. Even with his old bones, not many people wanted him to die.

Xia Zhi pursed her lips, then looked up at him with a determined gaze, "Chief, give me another half month, just half a month."

[Host, are you crazy? You're not thinking of buying on credit again, are you? We can't do that, host, I'll be punished if you do.]

[Host, we're in as much debt as we can go... sigh.]

[System, I know you're in a difficult position, but we're rescuing a hero, it's a great honor.]

Li Jianguo looked at her. Perhaps he was being a bit unreasonable, but he had been feeling uneasy lately.

"Xia, thank you for your help. Whatever you ask for, I will do my best to help you with it."

Xia Zhi smiled immediately, "Chief, you're being too serious. It's just a doctor's duty, and this is what I should do."

[Host, exceeding the limit will be punished. Actually, if you just work harder during this period and accumulate 10,000 points, you can use the operating room without restrictions.]

Oh well, I can't worry about that now.

The situation was urgent, and there wasn't much time left for her to accumulate points.

After Xia Zhi came out, she saw Lu Beiting waiting at the door.

She was also quite curious to see this man in his prime.

"What did the commander say to you?"

Lu Beiting looked up at her with concern.

"It's nothing, they just talked about things after we get married, and asked me to take good care of you. Let's go home." Xia Zhi pushed her towards the door.

Lu Beiting pursed his lips. There must be more than that, otherwise why would they have been talking for so long?

Xia Zhi was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't say much along the way. If this were the internet age, she could handle taking in a few seriously ill patients, but this was an era of slow travel.

After sending Lu Beiting home, Xia Zhi carried a basket on her back and prepared to go up the mountain to see if she could find something that needed treatment. Although it would be a drop in the ocean, every little bit helps.

Meanwhile, on the mountain, Gu Yunshen and Hao Liping, while searching, discovered Tuanzi's presence.

"Hey, Yun Shen, look at this animal, it's so rare! If we kill it, skin it, and sell the skin, it'll be worth a lot of money!"

Hao Liping pointed to the dumpling that was foraging for food in the bamboo forest.

Gu Yun Shen looked at it and his eyes lit up immediately. "I've read about this in a book. It's called a panda. It should be worth a lot of money. Li Ping, quickly give me the machete from the basket."

Hao Liping quickly took out the sharpened machete from her basket. "Yun Shen, be careful."
