Chapter 1421: A Grave Matter
“Missing?” Ye Qing lifted his eyebrows in surprise and puzzlement. “We’ve never heard of such a thing though.”
Although he and Feng Qingyou weren’t natives, and they hadn’t been here for long, neither the island lord of Gold Island, Jin Tianlai, nor his wife, Ming Yueying, were insignificant people. On the contrary, they were famous and influential both in this area and the entire Profound Alliance. If something, anything had happened to them, the entire world should have learned about it in no time.
“At the moment, I’m the only one who’s aware that something’s wrong.” Jin Wanliang looked bitter as he said this, “In fact, I myself only found out recently.”
“What do you mean?” Ye Qing didn’t quite understand what Jin Wanliang was saying. What did he mean that he was the only one who knew about this, and that he only found out recently? Was it that difficult to discover and confirm that two bigshots had gone missing?
Jin Wanliang realized that he was confusing Ye Qing and hurriedly explained, “The reason I said what I said is because both the island lord and his wife are still on Gold Island.” “However, I recently discovered that they aren’t my parents at all.”
That was surprising. Ye Qing subconsciously questioned, “Are you saying that the island lord and lady currently on Gold Island are fakes?”
“That is exactly correct, senior,” Jin Wanliang paid him a compliment.
“How did no one notice this sooner?” Were they blind?
“It’s because they look exactly identical to my parents. Their temperament, personality, behavior, conduct and more are exactly the same as well. It is difficult for an outsider to notice that something is wrong.”
Jin Wanliang explained, “Besides that, they rarely interacted with outsiders claiming that they acquired a secret art that required them to enter seclusion and practice for an extended period of time. That is why even those close to my parents did not notice a thing.”
