After Luca returned to her room, she tossed and turned on the bed. She could not fall asleep.
She nned to leave in the middle of the night. Hence, she decided to take a nap first. However, she
did not expect herself to sleep for so long on the high-speed rail, so she could not fall asleep now.
Luca sat up and touched her forehead. Then, she looked at the time.
There were still two hours till midnight.
It would be too early for her to leave now. However, she was afraid that she could not wake upter if
she took some medicine to sleep.
She had to look for Amur before it was toote.
Luca could only spend time watching videos on her phone helplessly.
Luke bringing all the employees for a trip to B City had be hot news in A City. Luca identally
saw a news report about it when she was scrolling through some videos. She nced at thements
below the video in passing.
Some people left theirments under the video, expressing their thoughts about how rich he was.
Meanwhile, some of them said that they were envious and they would love to have a work trip to B City
too.
Luca could not help but smile when she saw thepliments. She was happy that so many people
were praising Luke.
Luke was an influential figure in A City. Although there were barely any scandals about him, he showed
up a lot on business and economics-rted news. Luca watched reports about every business decision
that he had made previously and how he had been developing the economy of A City. She was getting
even prouder of him.
He was her man before this…
She would feel a sense of pride when it came to Luke. She would feel happy for him if he achieved
something, and she would also feel sorry for him if he was facing difficulties.
The more Luca looked at the news reports, the stronger the emotions in her heart grew. She was
enchanted.
Suddenly, her rm went off. With a look, she saw that it was already midnight.

It was time to go out.
Luca stopped watching the videos. She left her room after changing her clothes.
She nced at the hallway. There was no one there. Everyone had probably gone back to rest.
Perhaps they were still partying at the mountain vi’s bar.
Luca could not be bothered about that. She took the elevator and came to the ground floor
immediately. The hotel was located in the inner part of the mountain vi, and the area covered was
bigger. Fortunately, the hotel provided a 24-hour sightseeing car service.
She left the hotel and got into a car. Then, she asked the driver to send her to the mountain vi’s
entrance.
Since the driver had epted her money, he would follow her instructions. After she sat tight, the driver
drove in the direction of the entrance.
While he was driving, he asked, “Miss, is there something important you must do that you’re leaving the
mountain vi at thiste hour?”
“Yes, it’s something important,” said Luca.
“Our mountain vi is located in a remote area in B City. It’ll be hard to hail a taxi at this hour. But
sometimes, ck taxis will be waiting at the entrance to get some business. I’d advise you not to get
into one of those cars, though. Those drivers are scoundrels. You better be careful with that pretty face
of yours.” The driver reminded her.
Luca nodded, “Got it. I hailed a taxi using a ride-hailing app. The driver is already waiting for me at the
entrance.”
“Alright. Still, you’ve got to be careful. The facilities in the mountain vi are open for 24 hours if you’d
like to have fun,” the driver babbled.
Luca smiled without saying anything.
After she reached the entrance of the mountain vi, she got out of the car. There, she found the taxi
that she had hailed. She gave the driver the address of her destination after she got into the car.
She did not give the exact stronghold location right away, which was ording to the rules. She simply
chose an address and nned to switch to another car after she reached.
The address she had chosen was a local bar. It was to prevent herself from drawing any attention.
The only reason to go out at this hour was to enjoy the nightlife, right?
After Luca reached the bar, nobody at the clubs there stopped her. She walked to the curbside pick-up
point and hailed a taxi. Then, she headed to the stronghold.
She got out of the car when she was near the stronghold. After she paid the fee, she looked at her
surroundings.
It was a residential area, and it was not as bustling as it was at the club. It was quiet and empty.
Luca trotted to the stronghold. She looked at the door and pressed the doorbell.
Soon, someone opened the door.
Luca looked at the heavily built man inside, and she said with a fearless expression on her face, “I’m
looking for somebody.”
“Who are you looking for?” The man’s eyes brightened up the moment he saw her.
Luca lifted her hand and knocked on the door in a rhythmic pattern. It was their secret code.
The man opened the door immediately after knowing that she was one of them. He said, “Come in.”
Luca entered, then she looked at the man and said, “I’m looking for Amur. He came to B City a month
ago to carry out his mission.”
The man stared at her up and down, remaining silent.
“Why? He’s not here?” asked Luca.
“You’re lucky. He just came back today,” the man replied and led the way for Luca.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when she heard that Amur was here. At least he was here, and he was still
alive.
“He’s in there,” the man pointed at the door and said.
Luca was not afraid that he would lie to her. After all, they would be dead if something happened to her.
It was because she was an important pawn of Abel’s.
The moment Luca pushed the door open, she could smell a strong, bloody smell in the air.
Amur was hurt… The thought crossed her mind before she even saw him.
She hurriedly pushed the door open to take a look inside. Sure enough, Amur was sitting there with a
roll of gauze in his hand while his other hand was covered with blood.
“Amur, what happened?” Luca rushed forward and looked at the blood that was streaming down on his
arm. She felt sorry for him.
She treated him like her brother. It was natural for her to feel sorry for her brother.
“Why are you here?” Amur saw her and blinked his eyes unbelievably.
“Stop talking. Let me check your wounds.” Luca could not be bothered to exin first. She was busy
thinking about helping him to stop the bleeding on his wound. Judging from how much he was
bleeding, he would start feeling weak after a while.
Amur pursed his lips. He never nned on telling her that he was injured.
However, he did not expect to see her show up here.
Amur looked at her. He was touched by her concern.
Luca was checking his wound. It was deep, and she could see his bone inside. She took a deep breath
while suppressing her emotions. She said, “It’s a nasty wound. I’m afraid it’ll be hard to stop the
bleeding if we don’t stitch the wound.”
“Does it need stitching?” The man who was standing at the door looked at the gauze covered with
blood on the floor. It was the gauze that Amur used to stop the bleeding just now.
“Yes. You should have the equipment here, right?” Luca asked. Their people often got injured, so the
stronghold would usually have the medical supplies ready.
“We do, but we ran out of anesthetic. The organization hasn’t sent more over yet,” the man replied.
