They arrived at the slum. When Alice and Yanis got off the car, the driver said to them, “Do you really want to go there? Aren’t you scared? You can go back now and I sent you for free.”
Hearing his words, Alice gratefully looked at the driver and said, “Thank you, Sir. But we come here to find our friend. It is urgent, so we have to go there now.”
“Okay. Be careful.”
“Thank you, sir. Bye!” Yanis said loudly to the driver and waved goodbye to him.
When Yanis was about to enter the slum, she was stopped by Alice.
“What’s the matter?”
Alice stood on the street and began to take off her coat.
Yanis was stunned. Then she said, “Alice, what are you doing?”
After taking off her clothes, Alice asked Yanis to take off her coat. After that, Alice wrinkled her clothes.
“What are we going to do?”
“It is the slum. We will look strange in it when we dressed up.” As she spoke, she looked at Yanis’ bag and asked, “Have you brought makeup remover?”
Yanis just nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Give it to me.”
Yanis handed her makeup remover to her. Alice took the cotton pad and began to remove her makeup. face. Seeing her action, Yanis said, “You really don’t care about your image now. I didn’t expect that you would remove your makeup in public.”
Alice had light makeup today, so it was not difficult to remove makeup. After that, the two of them looked much plain.
“I think it will be okay. Let’s go.”
Then they went into the slum together.
The place that should have been demolished was still kept for such a long time. It was because the people here were fierce and not pushovers. Therefore, they must be careful when they entered this area.
However, it was difficult to find Hugo’s home in this place.
Alice walked into the slum with Yanis. Although they had removed their makeup, they still stood out in the crowd. And they attracted the attention of many people.
“Their eyes look horrible. Will we be safe?” Yanis was scared and subconsciously tugged at Alice’s sleeves.
“It will be fine. They are just looking at us. They won’t kill you. Don’t worry.”
Alice was much calmer than Yanis. She opened the document and looked through Hugo’s profile.
Then she said, “We don’t have his house number. We have to find someone to ask where Hugo lives.”
Hearing what Alice said, Yanis immediately stared at her with wide eyes.
“Have I heard you right? You want to ask those people. They look very fierce. I was really scared when I walked past them.”
Yanis was worried. But Alice walked towards an old woman, stoop and bent. Then Yanis came to her senses and quickly caught up with Alice.
“Hello.” Alice smiled and asked the old man gently, “Do you know Hugo?”
The old woman was quite alert. After hearing the name of Hugo, she immediately took a step back and shook her head. She said, “I don’t know him. Don’t ask me about him.”
Alice was speechless.
Yanis whispered, “It is obvious that she knows Hugo.”
