Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 450: Reunion
Chapter 450: Reunion
Before Yao Ran could react, Wu Yehao suddenly snatched the golden locket from her hand. He inspected it closely, then reached inside his own clothes and pulled out an identical golden locket.
A second later, he pressed the hidden button on the side, opening it. Inside was a small photograph. Wu Yehao's hands trembled as he compared the pictures inside both golden lockets.
Looking up from the photograph, Wu Yehao met Wu Yuze's gaze, his lips parting. After a long time, he said, "You-"
Emotion choked his voice, making him speechless. He took a deep breath and tried again. "Are you... Yuze?"
Wu Yuze had already suspected his identity upon seeing Wu Yehao earlier. But now, after recognizing the golden locket and hearing the question, he knew for sure Wu Yehao's identity.
Wu Yuze met Wu Yehao's gaze and nodded. Hesitating for a moment, he softly asked, "Are you my elder brother?"
The moment he asked this, Wu Yehao pulled him into a tight embrace. "Yes!"
Seeing this, Yao Ran withdrew her vines and stepped back, giving them privacy. From a distance, Long Yu said, "I'm going to search for the children."
"I will go with you," Yao Ran said, taking Long Yu's hand.
One by one, the others followed, leaving a few behind to guard Yao Yuechuan.
As the search party left, Wu Yehao released his younger brother and took in his thin, scarred body. His jaw clenched, and his eyes darkened with murderous intent.
Sensing his brother's rage, Wu Yuze gently patted his arm and asked, "Elder Brother, do you know where our parents are?"
Wu Yehao looked at him, seeing the hope in his eyes, and replied, "Our parents died in an accident when you were only a year old. After that, we were both sent to an orphanage. Since I was already eleven at the time, we were placed in different orphanages."
"A year after I was taken in, I was adopted by Chairman Yao. Since then, I have been searching for you. But when I finally found the orphanage you were sent to, the director told me you had been adopted by a young couple."
"Because of legal restrictions, they refused to give me their information. Seven years ago, I finally tracked them down, but their neighbors told me they had sold you. I have been looking for you ever since."
Wu Yehao paused, gently ruffling Wu Yuze's hair. He smiled and added, "Fortunately, fate brought us together again. Yuze, I'm sorry I was late."
Wu Yuze shook his head. Blinking rapidly to hold back his tears, he whispered, "It's not too late."
Then, he wrapped his arms tightly around his elder brother. For the first time since he could remember, Wu Yuze let his tears fall.
After calming down, Wu Yuze wiped his tears and said, "Elder Brother, I'm worried about my brothers and sisters. I need to find them first."
Hearing this, Wu Yehao nodded. "Alright. I will go with you."
"Mhm."
Before leaving, Wu Yehao instructed Yao Yuechuan's subordinates, "I'm going to find the children. Stay here and wait for us to return."
They nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, Captain Wu."
Led by Wu Yuze, Wu Yehao hurried toward the collapsed building. On their way, they encountered Yao Ran, Long Yu, and the others.
Seeing them approach, Yao Ran asked, "Finished talking?"
Wu Yehao nodded. "Yes. We are going to fetch the children now. Eldest Young Lady, would you like to come with us?"
Yao Ran considered for a moment, glanced at Wu Yuze's wary expression, then shook her head. "Since you are going, we will wait for you to return. After that, we can continue on our way."
"Alright."
After Yao Ran and the others returned to Yao Yuechuan's side, Wu Yuze led his elder brother to the collapsed building. Upon arrival, he noticed two children hiding near the entrance.
"Why are you two staying here?" Wu Yuze asked.
The children's eyes lit up when they saw him. Rushing out from their hiding spot, they called out, "Elder Brother Yuze!"
As they clung to his legs, one of the children glanced at Wu Yehao, scrutinizing him for a moment before asking, "Elder Brother Yuze, who is he? Why does he look like you?"
Wu Yehao chuckled, rubbing the little boy's head, and replied, "I'm Yuze's elder brother, Wu Yehao. You can call me Elder Brother."
The little boy remained silent, simply staring at him. Seeing this, Wu Yehao said, "Yuze, we shouldn't stay here long. Let's gather the children and regroup with the others."
Wu Yuze hesitated for a moment before asking, "Elder Brother, can we trust that woman?" Wu Yehao raised an eyebrow at his question. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "You seem to have a misunderstanding with the Eldest Young Lady."
Wu Yuze stared at him in silence for a few seconds before saying, "I will go get the children."
Watching his younger brother head inside with the two children still clinging to him, Wu Yehao frowned slightly.
'He seems to dislike the Eldest Young Lady. Something must have happened between them before.' While he was lost in thought, Wu Yuze returned with the children.
"Elder Brother, let's go."
Hearing this, Wu Yehao came back out of his thoughts, glanced at the children, and nodded.
"Let's go."
With that, the two of them escorted the children back. When they arrived, Yao Ran and the others were having breakfast.
"Eldest Young Lady, we are back," Wu Yehao announced.
Turning to look at him, Yao Ran noticed the group of children behind him and noticed their gazes fixed on the cup of soymilk in her hand.
"Welcome back. Let's eat before we continue on our way," Yao Ran said, pointing to the pot of soymilk on top of a portable stove.
Beside the portable stove, there is a cardboard box filled with meal boxes. Seeing that more than half a pot of soymilk remained and over thirty meal boxes were left, Wu Yehao realized Yao Ran must have prepared extra for the children.
