"Yes, her parents were buried, and their bodies were just excavated an hour ago, but Cheng Jia hasn't been found yet. The disaster was severe, and it's been raining continuously these past few days causing ongoing landslides. There are still more than a dozen people missing."
Perhaps Cheng Jia is among those still not found.
If it were only Cheng Jia's ID card found without any sign of her, Mo Xiuchen might not have believed it. However, Cheng Jia's parents were also here, and they had plane tickets from two days ago as proof.
Hence, Mo Xiuchen guessed that Cheng Jia's parents must have known she was here and came to find her. Or perhaps, they had always known she was here but had not dared to act earlier because he had people watching over them.
After New Year's, he had those watching Cheng Jia's parents withdrawn, and they came to see Cheng Jia, only to encounter a mudslide.
"Mo Xiuchen, have you been at the scene the whole time?"
