Chapter 607 - 526: Appearance
After a moment, Wang Zijia chilled out a bit after confirming that Tang Keli in front of him was harmless. He said, "Tell me about this incident."
"Reporting to Ninth Highness, the incident should have started several months ago..." Tang Keli narrated.
Wang Zijia frowned and cut him off, "You said several months ago? The report claimed it was around forty days. Are we trading facts with shrunken tales now?"
"Ninth Highness, you’ve misunderstood!" Tang Keli immediately replied seriously:
"The actual incident did begin forty-five days ago, but according to my investigation, the Ming family had people disappearing even before that. However, it wasn’t serious at the time. First, it was three to five people and then about a dozen..."
"For a clan as large as the Ming family with hundreds of thousands of people, a daily disappearance of a few people is normal. Some things are not related, and when reporting, I dared not include some speculations."
As Tang Keli explained, the events gradually became clear, including many details, which were much more detailed than what was seen in the files.
"So, the Ming family didn’t vanish overnight, but neither did individuals disappear without a trace separately?" Wang Zijia asked with a furrowed brow.
"Yes, excluding the initial uncertain ones, there were roughly three waves of disappearances happening at different times. The first wave was about a thousand people, mostly youths in the clans." Tang Keli, out of respect, phrased his words carefully:
"The second wave included tens of thousands of people, including some important members. The last wave was hundreds of thousands of people who collapsed and vanished in broad daylight."
"How intriguing, they started weak and got stronger, happening in batches. This doesn’t seem like a simple curse of bloodline now," Wang Zijia murmured to himself.
