The rustling noise from the bushes immediately startled the children.
They were frozen with fear.
Du Du's face turned pale. Although she wanted to cry, she stopped herself because she was afraid of making a sound. All she could do was hold Dian Dian's hand.
Dian Dian was also shocked.
He decided to walk towards the bushes to see what was making the noise.
However, the darkness made it hard to see.
While holding Du Du's hand, Dian Dian slowly approached the bushes.
"Brother, don't go there. I'm scared," Du Du said softly.
"It's okay." Dian Dian held Du Du's hand tightly. Although he was a little scared, he wanted to know what was making the noises behind the bushes. Also, he could smell the scent of blood in the air.
Slowly, the two children walked into the bushes. Dian Dian took out a small flashlight from his pocket and turned it on.
In an instant, a figure appeared in front of the children.
After seeing that a person was making the noises, Du Du's fear disappeared. She let go of her brother's hand and looked at the person in front of her. "Brother, it's a person. He's injured. I can smell blood," Du Du said.
Suddenly, the person reached out his hand and grabbed Du Du's ankle.
"Ah!"
Du Du screamed in fear.
After hearing Du Du's screams, the person immediately released her.
Dian Dian immediately ran over and stood in between the person and Du Du to protect her. He mustered up the courage to shine the light of the flashlight on the man in front of him.
The man was lying in the bushes. Dian Dian walked around him a couple of times so he could see him clearly.
However, Dian Dian was shocked after seeing the man's face.
"Ah!"
Du Du walked over and stood beside her brother. She also cried out in surprise after seeing the man's face.
"Brother, he looks like us!"
A frown formed on Dian Dian's face. After thinking for a moment, he squatted down. He then reached out his hand and wiped the stains of blood on the man's face.
He looked just like the man they saw on the television.
Everything suddenly became clear for Dian Dian.
He did not expect that he would find this man in that place.
The person lying on the ground was indeed Shi Jue.
Shi Jue frowned as he held onto his stomach. He then slowly opened his eyes to gaze at the individuals moving around him. When he saw the faces of the children, his body instantly froze.
His eyes widened in disbelief. He immediately forgot about the pain he was feeling.
Shi Jue looked at the faces of Du Du and Dian Dian. At that moment, he realized that they were the children of Xia Weiyang.
Joy instantly filled his heart. He reached out his hand to touch the faces of the children. However, when he saw that his hand was dirty, he retracted it.
He opened his mouth and gathered the strength to say something. "My children!" he said with a hoarse tone.
Dian Dian glanced at Shi Jue and snorted. His eyes, which resembled Shi Jue's, were filled with disdain. He thought that the man in front of him looked really pathetic.
Shi Jue seemed to know what Dian Dian was thinking as the corners of his mouth twitched.
The child acted just like him.
Du Du looked at Shi Jue then glanced at Dian Dian. She then squatted down and stared into Shi Jue's eyes. "Are you our father?" she asked.
Shi Jue felt like his heart was about to melt after hearing Du Du's soft voice.
She was indeed more welcoming than her brother.
However, the next set of words that came out of Du Du's mouth broke Shi Jue's heart.
