Calvo was taken aback when he heard the name that Gao Ergao mentioned.

He asked with a puzzled look:

"Who is that?"

Gore shrugged and said softly:

"That's all I see."

Just as Calvo was still puzzled, Li Yuan suddenly spoke up:

"Let's go, that spot should be right."

He looked at the names on the map and muttered to himself:

"Venus Apartments, I remember now."

Before leaving, Li Yuan made a point of exchanging business cards with Gao Ergao.

Then he led the two of them and quickly walked out of the fortune-telling shop.

Watching Li Yuan's departing figure, Gao Ergao glanced at the business card in his hand and muttered to himself:

"So he's an exorcist."

Calvo first drove Salinas, who was still tied up, back to the nightclub.

They also called Moro, who had led the search the previous night, to come and drive them around.

Because the location where Lucia's car was found last night was right downstairs from Venus's apartment building.

Moro said excitedly:

"I knew it! She couldn't have gone far! This time I'm going to catch that bitch!"

Li Yuan, sitting in the back seat, said calmly:

"Once we get there, neither of you should get out of the car. Edward and I will get out."

Before Moro could speak, Li Yuan continued:

"You are all people Lucia knows. If we are discovered, it will alert her."

Upon hearing this, Calvo immediately nodded obsequiously in response:

"Okay, let's do as Mr. Li Yuan suggests."

Morrow wanted to argue, but seeing Calvo's expression,

In the end, he just opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing.

At this moment, in the Venus Apartments.

Lucia was sitting on the bed, carefully untying the bandages on her legs.

When she removed the bandage, she found that the wound was red and swollen, and there was still no sign of it healing.

She cursed under her breath, applied the medicine, and rewrapped the gauze.

Just then, a knock sounded at the apartment door.

Lucia immediately became alert, got up, and quickly walked towards the door.

She cautiously peered through the peephole towards the door.

I noticed a girl wearing glasses standing in front of the door.

She had no expression on her face, she just kept knocking on the door.

In the living room, Alba, who was learning to dance by watching TV, spoke up:

"That's Olivia. She's here to invite me to her birthday party."

Lucia glanced back at Alba.

I'm a little curious how Alba knew that.

Alba slowly walked out of the living room and explained to Lucia:

"She'll keep knocking if she can't see me."

"All right."

Lucia, who didn't want to open the door, did so to avoid attracting attention.

They had no choice but to open the door.

Olivia smiled immediately upon seeing Alba:

"Alba, come quick, the banquet is about to begin."

Then she looked at Lucia beside her and asked curiously:

"who is she?"

Alba introduced with a smile:

"This is my aunt, her name is Lucia, and she's a dancer."

Lucia was taken aback by his words, then nodded somewhat awkwardly.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"A dancer, or rather, a dancer..."

Upon hearing this, Olivia happily exclaimed:

"Then she can come along too!"

Alba looked up at Lucia and asked:

"Are you going? The birthday party is on the 5th floor."

Lucia shook her head and refused:

"Let's not go, Alba."

I only feel a little bit safe in my sister's house.

Lucia didn't want to go out; she was afraid of being found by the gang.

Olivia's face darkened, and she asked in a low voice:

"Not going? You really aren't coming?"

Just as Lucia was about to refuse,

Alba had already picked up the room key.

She tugged at Lucia's sleeve and whispered:

"They have a telephone at home."

Lucia, who wanted to call Salinas, eventually accepted the invitation.

Following Olivia, we arrived at an apartment on the 5th floor.

A smiling woman greeted the three of them:

"Come in quickly, the banquet is about to begin!"

Olivia and Alba shouted happily and ran into the house like the wind.

Standing at the door, Lucia scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.

He introduced himself to the woman:

"Hello, my name is Lucia, and I'm Alba's aunt."

The woman smiled and nodded, then greeted her:

"Please come in, come in quickly."

"Thanks."

Lucia took a deep breath and slowly walked into the house.

The woman who had closed the door behind her quickly came to Lucia's side and asked with a smile:

"Isn't Rossio coming?"

"Oh...no! She went out; I'm looking after her daughter."

"I see. Come with me."

The woman led Lucia into the restaurant.

He addressed an elderly woman with white hair and exquisite makeup:

"Marga, this is Alba's aunt, Lucia."

Marga smiled and extended her hand to Lucia:

"Welcome, young lady."

Lucia nodded somewhat reservedly and greeted him softly:

"Hello, Ms. Marga."

"jingle!"

The sudden ringing of the doorbell made Lucia tense up.

She looked toward the door in alarm.

"It must be Rosita!"

The woman smiled and said something, then quickly walked towards the door.

Lucia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She was terrified that the gangsters would come knocking on her door.

At this moment, Marga, who was sitting in the chair, spoke up:

"Blood represents everything. You look a lot like that girl and her mother. All three of you are very beautiful."

Lucia, who was being praised, raised the corner of her mouth slightly:

"Thanks."

At that moment, Rosita entered, carrying a gift box, and hurried over:

"Good heavens, you're all here! This place is so lively."

Lucia turned her head and politely greeted Rosita:

"Hello, I'm Lucia, Alba's aunt."

"Hello there."

Rosita and Lucia shook hands.

He praised it with an amazed expression:

"My God, you are so beautiful."

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and touched Lucia's cheek, gently stroking it:

"Your skin is so nice."

Rosita withdrew her hand and whispered to Lucia:

"I really care about these things."

Then, almost nervously, she tossed Lucia's blonde hair.

With wide eyes, he exclaimed in admiration:

"And that beautiful hair, it's absolutely mesmerizing!"

When Lucia became somewhat uncomfortable and began to dodge,

Rosita laughed and released the gift, handing it to Olivia who was standing nearby.

He stopped paying attention to Lucia.

Immediately afterwards, melodious music filled the room.

A group of people surrounded Olivia, singing and dancing to celebrate her birthday.

Lucia stared in astonishment at everything that was happening inside the house.

But Marga, who was sitting at the dining table, pulled him to sit down.

Marga poured herself a glass of wine and said:

"Girl, relax. There aren't many people here to begin with, so you'll get to know each other better soon."

Lucia nodded somewhat blankly, and asked softly:

Alba said there are hardly any people here.

"That's right, this isn't a magnificent palace."

Marga, holding her wine glass, said meaningfully:

Everyone eventually leaves.

As Lucia gazed at the jubilant crowd, her guard gradually lowered.

She looked at Marga in front of her and asked curiously:

Is anyone living on the top floor here?

Upon hearing this, Marga narrowed her eyes, and after a moment, she smiled and said:

"That place has been empty for thirty years."

Lucia was taken aback by what she heard; it was completely different from what Alba had told her before.

She wondered to herself:

Is this Alba's fantasy, or is Marga lying?

At this moment, Marga seemed to realize something.

She slowly leaned over and whispered:

"What are you afraid of, girl?"

I saw fear in your eyes.

Interrupted from her thoughts, Lucia sighed and said softly:

"I was worried about my sister when she disappeared."

Marga smiled and said nonchalantly:

"Your sister has always been a loner; she will come back."

"But it's strange that she left her daughter behind."

Lucia was somewhat suspicious because her sister loved her daughter very much.

Marga nodded upon hearing this and asked:

"Did you call her?"

"No, I lost my phone."

Lucia explained dejectedly, then looked up at Marga and asked softly:

"If you don't mind, may I use your phone?"

"Hehe, of course."

Lucia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan, holding Salinas's phone, arrived at the Venus apartment building.
