Mo Hua quietly shared her suspicions with Situ Fang.
Situ Fang was slightly stunned, then her brows furrowed tightly. She realized something was not right and, recalling the situation at that time, she slowly said,
"Those burly men, dressed in the miners' clothes with rough hands and dark skin, I thought they were the family of these missing miners, or at least relatives or friends."
"It was them who were causing trouble all along, demanding a huge compensation from the Lu Family."
"But now that the matter has settled and the Lu Family has given the compensation, they have suddenly disappeared. They didn't even show up for something like the burial, which is very strange..."
Situ Fang remarked after some thought, "I will ask the miners' families again."
Mo Hua shook her head, "They may not dare to speak."
Seeing their demeanor just now, all meek and compliant, they must be afraid of retaliation and hence don't dare to say much.
