I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

Boom boom boom!

The crisp and rapid sound brought Gu Qinghan back to his senses from his thoughts, and his eyes lit up.

Gu Qinghan took a deep breath, walked quickly across the living room to the door, and reached out to pull the door handle.

Could it be that Lina is here again?

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan opened the door——

Squeak!

A gentle and moving figure appeared in front of him.

The red-haired girl opened her lips slightly, and a nervous light flashed in her eyes. She stared at Gu Qinghan's eyes, and a hint of worry flashed across her eyes.

Gu Qinghan looked at the girl in front of him and his heart sank.

Not Lena.

It's Lianna.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

The first words the girl said made Gu Qinghan's expression serious.

"What happened?" Gu Qinghan said slowly.

It must be something extraordinary that could make Lianna look so worried.

Lianna first looked back and around, then stepped into the room after making sure that there was no one there, and then hurriedly closed the door.

She was worried that the walls had ears.

Not only that, after she carefully closed the door, she looked around the room and quickly walked to the window to close the curtains.

Gu Qinghan looked at everything quietly, feeling increasingly heavy in his heart.

The bad premonition came true again.

He was under house arrest and was not very aware of what was happening outside, but Lianna was different.

She can go out at will, so she should see more things than Gu Qinghan.

"Master, there is something I need to report to you."

After confirming that the conversation would not be exposed, Lianna's expression became more nervous. She bit her lips with her silver teeth and finally spoke:

"Someone is watching us."

Gu Qinghan narrowed his eyes and his expression became gloomy.

"what happened?"

"Last night, I passed by here when I went out to buy heart medicine on the black market."

"There were several strange figures that lingered for a long time."

Gu Qinghan had a solemn expression as he stared at Lianna, who had her arms folded across her chest, her whole body curled up, seeming very unnatural.

This is an instinctive reaction when people are extremely nervous.

"When I went out to buy medicine, I didn't pay much attention to them and thought they were just wandering around."

"But when I finished shopping and left the herbs at the door, I realized the seriousness of the problem when I left."

"It took me two hours to get there from the time I set out to buy to the time I finished and came back."

"But they were wearing heavy, stuffy black cloaks, which was totally inconsistent with the hot weather."

At this point, Lianna's face turned slightly pale and her body trembled slightly.

"I can only think of one possibility: the prosecutors have increased their surveillance of you and abandoned their scrutiny of passers-by."

"Is that so, Mr. Hohenheim?"

Gu Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

If what Lianna said was true, then the situation would be quite bad.

According to Catalina's behavior, she would never do such a thing.

She would make searching for potential spies her first priority, rather than focusing her forces on him.

There is only one possibility that could make her give such an order.

The entire City of Love has been completely searched.

Or at least there was no need to continue searching.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan fell into deep thought again.

Could it be that the spy from the Empire of Joy has been found?

No.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Gu Qinghan denied it.

If the spy has been caught, then what awaits Gu Qinghan will be a predetermined fate.

Either the spy has nothing to do with [The Great Hypnotist] Hohenheim, and there is no need to increase surveillance on him.

Or, the spy would show that he was guilty and send someone to arrest him directly.

He had no ability to resist.

In any case, they would not suddenly increase the surveillance on him like they are doing now, but without taking any actual action.

"What happened?"

Gu Qinghan pondered and vaguely thought of a possibility.

At this moment, Lianna spoke again, interrupting Gu Qinghan's thoughts and continued:

"Besides this, I also saw another strange phenomenon."

After a pause, Lianna continued;

"When I went to the black market to buy a heart last night, the vendor told me a piece of inside information."

This made Gu Qinghan stunned.

"what news?"

“The black marketeers said they would stop supplying us and postpone it indefinitely.”

Gu Qinghan's expression froze.

Even with his usually calm personality, his expression finally changed slightly.

If increasing surveillance would make Gu Qinghan feel pressured, then cutting off the drug supply would directly push Gu Qinghan to death.

How could this happen suddenly? Gu Qinghan frowned.

Given the greedy nature of those guys in the black market, it would be extremely abnormal not to make money when there is money to be made.

Unless you take great risks.

For example... risking one's life.

Gu Qinghan's eyes darkened, and the speculation in his heart became clearer.

"According to them, the Pure Love Kingdom has transferred a large number of inspectors from outside the City of Love to intensify the inspection of the City of Love."

"For at least a week, the entire City of Love will be engulfed in blood."

There was a faint rumble of thunder in the sky, making people feel depressed even with every breath.

Gu Qinghan nodded slightly, vaguely understanding the cause and effect, his eyes gloomy.

However, Lianna still hadn't finished her words.

She took a deep breath, looked at Gu Qinghan's solemn expression, and spoke again:

"Besides this, I also discovered a third problem."

Chapter 3 (K!) Start hypnosis!

Gu Qinghan quickly started making props.

The structure of the syringe is very simple. The relevant parts have already been placed in the corner of the bookshelf and can be completed by simply assembling them.

Jacket, core rod, rubber plug, cone head, button and cone head.

Every time a part of the installation was completed, Gu Qinghan's expression became a little more serious.

This is a prop that should only be used as a last resort. Once your identity is exposed and you fail to completely control Lina, all your efforts will be wasted.

"Assault on an Inspector".

Even if it was only this one crime, it was enough to convict Gu Qinghan and have him thrown directly into an underground prison to serve his sentence.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan's eyes turned cold as he carefully placed it on the surface of the alchemy table.

The syringe is placed in the most conspicuous position so that it can be easily accessed at any time in case of emergency.

By now, this is his last bargaining chip.

The best case scenario was that Catalina still didn't notice any suspicious people until the end of the week when the hot spring party began.

When the hot spring party began, Gu Qinghan successfully used the hypnosis removal potion to clear himself of suspicion.

However, things don't always go as we wish.

Things turned out much faster than Gu Qinghan had expected.

Such as now.

——Dong dong dong!

Almost at the moment when the assembly was completed, heavy and rapid knocks on the door rang out again, causing Gu Qinghan to freeze.

A bad premonition arose spontaneously, and the two looked at the confusion in each other's eyes, and their heartbeats inexplicably quickened.

Who is it?

Gu Qinghan and Lianna stood there in a daze, looking at each other.

The knocking continued, urging him to go and open the door.

Gu Qinghan frowned, his brain working rapidly as he thought about the current situation.

Little Lina had just left, and Catalina was busy with the review, so no one should come to visit.

Who would come to visit his home at a time like this?

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan's face darkened and he walked towards the wooden door step by step.

"Oh my, I can forget things sometimes."

Just as Gu Qinghan was about to reach out his hand, the wooden door was pushed open with a creak, revealing someone's lively little head again.

Still little Lena.

She blinked, a sly gleam in her eyes, and smiled at Gu Qinghan, who had a dull expression.

Looking at the meaningful smile on her face, Gu Qinghan froze in place, inexplicably having a premonition.

Got fooled.

A few seconds ago, he saw Lina break through the door, so he talked to Lianna about the plan on how to control Lina.

In the blink of an eye, this guy suddenly broke in again.

Is this a coincidence?

Staring at the seemingly peaceful smile on Lina's face, Gu Qinghan's expression gradually became gloomy.

The current situation was caused because the wooden door was not closed tightly, which allowed Lina to break in.

Just now, Lina closed the door when she left the house.

Obviously, she did this on purpose.

"Dear Miss Lina, may I ask what is the matter with you this time?"

Gu Qinghan spoke slowly, his voice low and he forced a smile on his face.
