Mo Hua secretly shared her doubts with Situ Fang.
Situ Fang blinked, her eyebrows furrowing as she also realized something was amiss and recalled the scene, slowly saying,
"Those burly men were dressed in the attire of mining cultivators, with rough palms and dark skin. I thought they were family members of the missing miners, or at least their relatives and friends."
"It was always them creating a ruckus, demanding huge compensations from the Lu Family."
"But now that everything has settled and the Lu Family has paid the compensation, they suddenly disappeared. They didn't even show up for the burial, which is very odd…"
Situ Fang pondered, "I'll ask the family members of the mining cultivators again."
Mo Hua shook her head, "They might not dare to speak."
From their demeanor just now, they seemed very submissive, probably fearing retaliation and not daring to say much.
Situ Fang then said, "Then I'll find some local mining cultivators and ask about their identities."
