Their circumstances were unfavorable .

Jin Yiheng removed his hand from Long Xiaoxi's mouth slowly and held her hand instead . He then moved outward slowly while Jin Rongyan held onto Long Xiaoxi's other hand . The three children then began inching slowly out of the cave .
To their astonishment, the wolf followed them .
When the three children ran away, the wolf took chase . When they stopped, it stopped as well . After repeating the same course of action several times, the three children started to discover that the wolf did not seem to have intentions of harming them .
They felt much less afraid than before .
Jin Yiheng took out a few fruits and threw it at the wolf . The wolf sniffed the fruits a little before devouring them .
Clearly, the fruit was not enough to fill its stomach .
However, Jin Yiheng dared not feed it anymore, for they still needed some food to survive .
Just as they were about to sprint elsewhere, they heard some noises coming from afar .
The noises approached the three children, who soon realized that the bearded man and the scarface had found them .
“The three of them are over there!”
“Hurry and take chase . ”
Upon the sight of the two men, the three children panicked and began sprinting away . The wolf followed suit, as if they were members of his pack .
“Don't run away, kids . We're here to send you back to reunite with your parents!” the bearded man yelled at the top of his lungs .
Jin Yiheng said to the two children, “Don't believe him, he's lying to us . If they catch us, we'll never be able to escape again . ”
“Okay!” they chorused, completely trusting Jin Yiheng .
The two men had no choice but to take chase . However, they were still adults at the end of the day and could run faster than the children .
When the men had almost caught up with them, the deafening sound of a gunshot filled the air .

Frightened out of their senses, the three children's legs turned into jelly .
“Run any further and I'll shoot!” he exclaimed .
His warning was indeed effective .
However, when the two men began approaching the children, the wolf broke its silence and began howling at them . It then pounced onto the men, causing the children to be dumbfounded .
The men immediately whipped their guns out and shot the wolf . Having lived on the island for a long time, they were experts at hunting and killing the animals on it .
They were also well aware of the quickest way to hunt and poach .
The two bullets struck the wolf in its gut, causing it to stagger and collapse . Jin Yiheng yelled, “Don't shoot!”
However, his efforts were futile .
The two men swiftly shot the wolf a few more times and only stopped when it started bleeding incessantly and became motionless .
The three children stood up . Staring at the dead wolf whose eyes were tightly shut, Jin Yiheng began bawling and weeping loudly .
From then on, he understood that humans were sometimes far more terrifying than menacing animals .
Long Xiaoxi and Jin Rongyan burst into tears as well .
The fruits in their clothes dropped onto the ground and began rolling away from them .
“What are you crying for? We're here to send you guys away from the island . The ship is ready . Follow us,” the bearded man said sternly .
“Can we leave after burying it?”
“What for? We'll take it back with us and devour it . ”
“You're not allowed to devour it!” Jin Yiheng barked .

“Kid, don't create unnecessary trouble . Are you leaving or not? Hurry up!” the bearded man hollered, aiming his gun at Jin Yiheng .
The three children began walking away while the bearded man pulled the wolf along using a rope that he had tied around the wolf's limbs .
They continued walking for a long period of time, and their legs soon began to ache unbearably .
They finally reached the house where the two men resided . Reminded of the corpses and skeletons inside, the three children stood rooted to the ground by the door, not wishing to go in at all .
The two men then dragged the wolf carcass into the yard before taking them to the seaside .
Just like they had mentioned, there was indeed a ship waiting for them there .
When the ship began sailing off, the three children stared at Mingshan Island, which was getting farther and farther away . They were filled with agony and grief .
The children's parents were already waiting for them in Wei Ni Estate before the plane had landed .
An Xiaoning and Long Tianze could not believe their eyes the moment they saw the children alighting from the car .
They were completely heartbroken .
Tears welled up in Long Tianze's eyes as he squatted in front of Long Xiaoxi and picked her up in his arms . “Our little baby has lost so much weight,” he remarked .
Long Xiaoxi began bawling and wrapped her arms tightly around her father's neck . “Daddy, I suffered so much . ”
“I know, your mommy has already prepared lots of delicious treats for you . Let's go home . ”
“Okay, okay, Daddy, I'm starving!”
“Alright, we'll eat once we get home . ”
He carried Long Xiaoxi away . An Xiaoning bent forward to hug her sons and said apologetically, “It's all Daddy and Mommy's fault for failing to protect you two . ”

The children continued weeping, completely incapable of speech .
“Yiheng, what happened to your ankle?”
“I sprained it . ”
“I'll help you apply some ointment after you take a shower later . ”
Staring at Xiao Chenyang with tears in her eyes, she said, “It's been hard on all of you . The dishes have been prepared . Let's go inside to eat . ”
They entered the living room together .
An Xiaoning brought her sons upstairs to take a shower .
When they entered the master bedroom, Jin Qingyan said while smiling, “It's my little warriors who have just returned from the thugs' den . ”
“Daddy, your sons are already in such a sorry plight yet you can still smile so widely,” Jin Yiheng rebuked in disdain before entering the washroom .
Jin Rongyan followed suit .
An Xiaoning turned on the tap in the bathtub to fill it with water . After adjusting the temperature of the water, she then turned on the faucet and said to the children, “Rinse yourselves here before taking a dip in the bathtub . I'll go bring your clothes here . ”
After she exited the bathroom, the two children removed their clothes, which had become unrecognizable due to the filth .
An Xiaoning headed to the children's room to retrieve two fresh sets of clothing . As soon as she entered the bathroom, Jin Yiheng frantically placed his hands over his crotch and turned as red as a tomato . “Mommy, please go out after placing the clothes there . ”
“Don't you want me to bathe you guys?”
“I've promised Daddy that I won't let you bathe us again from now on . ”
An Xiaoning smiled and said, “Alright, then . There's a towel here . When you're done showering, dry yourselves before putting on your clothes . ”
“Got it . ”
An Xiaoning exited and closed the door after her .
She then said to Jin Qingyan in delight, “Our sons are really grown up now . ”
“How so?”
“I'm asking you a question,” he probed .
“Mr . Jin, I don't wish to answer your question . ”
With raised brows, he said, “Look at you, you said that our sons have grown up . Is there anything wrong with me asking you to explain your statement? Why has it become my fault?”
“Dinner is about to begin . Do you want to go downstairs to eat or would you like me to bring the food up?”
“I'll go downstairs,” he said while sitting up straight .
“Let me help you down, then . ”
“Thank you, Milady . ”
Xiao Chenyang was cleaning his sword when the two of them arrived downstairs .
“What sword is that?”
