In the room, Li Huan sat on a backless stool, lifting up his shirt.
Sure enough, there was an injury on his lower back.
The wound was simply wrapped in a layer of gauze and appeared sowhat inflad.
Seeing this, Commander's eyes turned red with anger. "Why didn't you take better care of your wound?"
Li Huan shrugged nonchalantly, chuckling lightly, "I've been busy with work; who has the ti?"
He had been undercover with a drug lord for over two years.
Finally managing to close in, when the boss escaped, he naturally didn't want his efforts to go to waste, so he chased after him without taking the ti to treat his wound.
Fortunately, it wasn't fatal; that was the only bit of luck he had.
Being undercover was a gamble with one's life.
In dangerous situations, they could only rely on themselves, often without even being able to carry weapons.
Commander knew this well, but still felt heartbroken.
After a long sigh, he didn't say anything more, hearing light footsteps approaching outside. He decided, "Let Zhouzhou co treat your wound; that girl's dical skills are quite good, and the dicine she makes is effective."
As he spoke, he called out, "Co in."
Soon after, a little head poked in.
Zhouzhou looked curiously for a mont before walking in.
She ran straight to Li Huan.
At her height, she could see his waist injury clearly.
It was a knife wound, non-fatal but aggravated due to delayed treatnt.
"Little girl, you're not here to seek revenge, are you?" Li Huan watched her leisurely, smiling.
Hearing this, Zhouzhou pouted, "Nonsense! I wouldn't do such a thing. I'm an honest person, coming to you for revenge openly!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huan chuckled softly, "Just admit Xi Mo didn't teach you well; you're already out for revenge, so there's nothing 'open and aboveboard' about it. Of course, you should be unscrupulous!"
Is that so?
Zhouzhou was taken aback but thought for a mont, shaking her head, "No way, no way."
She covered her head seriously, saying, "Doing bad things will get you struck by thunder."
She had just grown her Fortune Hair and didn't want anything to happen to it.
Li Huan, unaware of her reasoning, thought she was being dramatic.
"I didn't expect you to believe in that."
Zhouzhou nodded gravely, sighing.
How could she not believe? Uncle Thunder watched her every day, just waiting for her to ss up so he could strike her down. She didn't want to learn bad things.
With this thought, she cast a resentful glance at Li Huan.
Not teaching her well!
Seeing this, Li Huan couldn't help but chuckle again, pinching her chubby cheek. "If you let Xi Mo continue teaching you, you'll beco a little dimwit."
He casually crossed his legs, saying, "When dealing with those vicious people, who said being unscrupulous is wrong?"
"If you confront them head-on, you'll be at a disadvantage because they always use underhanded tricks to counter you."
"At that point, being righteous will only harm yourself."
"Moreover, the missions you undertake in the Fourth Bureau don't deal with anything 'righteous.'"
Their missions had a lot in common with his.
Hearing this, Zhouzhou paused, contemplating his words.
It seed a bit reasonable?
Commander listened, looking thoughtful as well.
Just then, a pair of long legs entered, followed by Xi Mo walking in.
He glanced at her, stating flatly, "So, according to you, everything I teach is wrong?"
"Uncle!" Seeing him, Zhouzhou's eyes lit up as she rushed over with her short legs.
Xi Mo bent down to pick her up, then turned to Li Huan with an indifferent expression.
Commander added, "But I think Zhouzhou has made great progress during this ti. In those challenges, she has been breezing through the upgraded difficulty."
That's right!
Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, making little fists.
She felt her strength had increased!
Having been caught talking behind soone's back, Li Huan remained unperturbed.
"Not everything I said was useless." He reclined casually. "Face-to-face confrontation can be useful, but if she needs to go undercover, using those techniques would expose her, and at that point, she'd only be in danger."
The Fourth Bureau dealt with covert tasks that often required discretion.
In the future, Zhouzhou might indeed encounter such missions.
"Also, regarding the sedative, you trained her, but she still fell for my trick."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou drooped her head, burying her face in Xi Mo's neck, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Uncle; I embarrassed you."
It was her fault for being too weak.
Xi Mo shook his head, soothingly stroking her hair as he sat down with her.
He frowned slightly, looking at Li Huan, "Have they updated their thods?"
"Of course! Do you think we're the only ones improving? Those underhanded thods evolve faster and more ruthlessly than we can imagine."
Upon hearing this, Xi Mo fell silent.
Li Huan had been undercover for a long ti, so his information was certainly reliable.
Though he was sowhat frivolous, he wouldn't joke about serious matters.
He looked at Zhouzhou, concern filling his eyes.
He hadn't considered thoroughly, focusing solely on making Zhouzhou stronger so she wouldn't get hurt, forgetting who she'd have to face.
Noticing his gaze, Zhouzhou looked up, grinning at him and raising her tiny fists. "Uncle, I think I've really beco stronger!"
Her efforts hadn't been in vain!
That was true.
Training wasn't pointless; no matter the ti, strength was the best weapon for self-protection.
Even Li Huan wouldn't deny that.
It was just a matter of adding sothing extra to the regular training.
"How about this," he said, "Little chubby girl, make your master, and I'll consider teaching you."
Well, so he had been waiting for this!
Zhouzhou's eyes widened instantly, and without hesitation, she rejected, "I don't want to; I have a master already."
Although Li Yuanming wasn't very reliable, he had raised her!
She didn't want to find another master.
Especially this uncle, whose mouth was so bad.
Li Huan shook his head, "You've never seen the world; many people are begging to be my disciple, and you're turning it down?"
"Humph." Zhouzhou ignored him, hugging Xi Mo's neck, looking up at him.
However, she noticed a hint of hesitation in his expression, as if he were really considering the proposal.
"Uncle?" Zhouzhou stared at him, full of surprise.
He wouldn't really want her to be this bad uncle's disciple, would he?
"What he says does make so sense." Xi Mo looked down at Zhouzhou, speaking earnestly.
"Moreover, he has many good things; he doesn't have children or heirs." His voice was soft.
As he spoke, he shot Zhouzhou a glance.
To deal with the little money-grubber, unconventional thods were needed.
Sure enough, Zhouzhou's eyes imdiately lit up, and she turned to Li Huan, "Then I'll think about it."
As she said this, she opened her chubby hands. "First, let see the apprenticeship gifts."
