Growing Panic As A Family Searches For Answers

The family has been unable to contact the couple since last night, and their phones remain switched off.

They were supposed to arrive in Nanjing at 7:40 PM but did not appear at the airport.

After checking with the police station about flight records, they found no record of the couple boarding in Kuala Lumpur for the Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport flight, nor any Nanjing records suggesting they are still abroad.

The family is now seeking help from people in Malaysia.

Additionally, in the comments section, they shared a screenshot showing the couple’s last known location at TRX Residence on Jalan Tun Razak in Kuala Lumpur at 4:38 PM on 8 February, after which all contact was lost.
