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

"Ah?" Richard could not help but stand there in a daze.

"Where did you meet her?"

“When buying lunch.”

As he spoke, Gu Qinghan raised the food in his hand and smiled kindly.

"In that case, maybe she just happened not to meet me recently..." Richard frowned thoughtfully.

"That's it." Gu Qinghan smiled lightly and continued:

"After all, you and Miss Lianna need to take turns using the room, so it's inevitable that you will miss each other and won't be able to meet."

Richard nodded, agreeing with what he said.

"You have a point, Herr Hohenheim."

"But I'm still worried about her. Just in case, I'd better go to the inspection team."

Gu Qinghan stood there in a daze, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Isn't it necessary?"

"No, it's necessary. She's my fiancée anyway."

Richard paused, then slowly turned back and continued hesitantly:

"Besides, things have been very turbulent recently."

When Gu Qinghan heard this, a dark light flashed in his eyes and he felt that he had seized the opportunity.

"What happened recently?" He looked puzzled.

"Mr. Hohenheim really doesn't know yet."

Richard paused, then sighed:

"Someone is sneaking in through the border wall."

Border wall, when these three words are mentioned, one will naturally think of the mortal enemy of the Pure Love Kingdom.

"It's been very dangerous these past few days. If Lianna is encountered by those guys, she will most likely be kidnapped and imprisoned..."

"People from the Happy Empire are very dangerous."

"So I better go report it."

Chapter 42: Playing Hard to Get

Gu Qinghan greeted everyone in the Empire of Joy in his heart.

Why didn’t you come earlier or later, but came at this time!

But now, he had to stay calm and stop Richard.

If we let him go at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.

Not to mention kidnapping and imprisonment, the pile of props on the table alone are enough to keep Gu Qinghan from seeing the light of day forever.

"You make a lot of sense, Mr. Richard."

Gu Qinghan frowned, pretending to be in deep thought and continued:

"But I still don't agree with your approach."

Richard's steps stagnated, and he slowly turned his head, showing doubts in his eyes.

"why?"

"The prosecutors are busy arresting people from the Pleasure Empire right now, so they are probably too busy to do anything. There is no point in reporting the case."

At this point, Gu Qinghan paused, frowned and thought, then smiled slowly:

"But if Mr. Richard trusts me, I can look for it for you, and I believe you will be able to feel at ease soon."

Gu Qinghan forced himself to smile, and his heartbeat quickened.

He was not sure whether Mr. Richard would accept such wording.

The deathly silence made Gu Qinghan feel cold sweat on his palms.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, Richard nodded slightly.

"Mr. Hohenheim has a point."

As he spoke, Richard bowed solemnly to show his respect.

"Those officials are really just there to eat and do nothing, they never do anything practical!"

The two smiled at each other and couldn't help but pat each other on the shoulders.

Gu Qinghan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis was finally over.

With Gu Qinghan's assurance, Richard calmed down a lot and became more cheerful.

He complained to Gu Qinghan about the heavy pressure at work and how his boss's wife made him work overtime alone every day, which exhausted him. Gu Qinghan listened patiently without saying a word.

It was not until half an hour later that the two exchanged a few pleasantries and finally ended the conversation.

After watching Richard leave, Gu Qinghan's expression gradually became solemn.

I didn't expect that the Happy Empire's offensive would have such a big impact.

Just now when he went to buy dinner, he also saw the patrolling magic team on the road.

A team of five people, all of them are graduates from the magic academy, and have impressive strength.

Ordinary thieves don't need this kind of show at all.

Not only that, the frequency of their patrols has also become significantly more frequent.

Gu Qinghan seemed to feel that this street had become noticeably more dangerous recently.

The bad news came one after another.

"It seems that we must speed up the progress of the strategy..."

After muttering to himself, Gu Qinghan opened the door and walked into the darkness.

Time waits for no one. He must deal with Lianna as soon as possible.

Today, let the ingredients have the greatest effect.

……

The first thing he saw when he entered the room was Lianna's current condition.

His whole body was curled up like a cooked shrimp, and he lay on the ground shaking.

Her wrists were handcuffed with iron chains behind her back, and her eyes were shining in the darkness.

When she saw Gu Qinghan come in, her eyes became dull for a moment.

Then, Lianna forced herself to suppress her emotions and pretended to be indifferent.

"How are you, have you been feeling well these days?"

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly, put the food bag on the table, moved a chair and slowly sat down.

He decided to pretend he saw nothing.

Lianna gritted her teeth, her body trembling, and she groaned softly.

"Your method is considered torture? Humph!"

"Want me to tell you the truth? You better wait another ten years!"

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first. He didn't expect Lianna's reaction to be so obvious.

"In other words, Miss Lianna still intends to keep silent?" Gu Qinghan put on a troubled look.

"I have nothing to say to you, scumbag."

"Miss Lianna, it will be good for you to be honest." Gu Qinghan sighed.

"I...can't believe you'd be so kind to help me, Mr. Hohenheim."

"Just show your true colors!"

Gu Qinghan looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

“This is really troubling me…”

He sighed softly and looked sad, as if he was at his wits' end.

"Haha, do you regret it now, Mr. Hohenheim?"

Lianna seized the opportunity and continued viciously:

"But it's too late. I will tell Miss Caterina everything you did to me during her routine checkup next Monday."

"No matter what you did to me this time or what you did to me last time, I will tell her everything!"

Gu Qinghan scratched his head with a painful expression, and it seemed that he had no idea what to do.

Seeing Gu Qinghan's painful expression, Liana seemed to have finally found a chance, and her expression was very proud.

"What should I do so that Miss Lianna will cooperate with me?"

Lianna bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

There are countless props of all kinds on the table over there.

She really wanted to say: Take the props on the table and use them.

But just when she opened her mouth and was about to blurt out something, she suddenly shut up.

She remembered that Hohenheim had said this on the first day of training.

He would never use any props on Lianna.

These are Mr. Hohenheim’s exact words.

Lianna had some idea of ​​what kind of person he was.

In short, they are people who would not actually resort to dirty tricks.

Unless Lianna pushes him herself.

Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and spoke again:

"Whatever method you have prepared, you should try it out first, right?"

As she spoke, Lianna put on a strong expression and continued:

"Always give everything a try first, and it's never too late to accept failure!"

The corner of Gu Qinghan's mouth twitched.

It sounds very passionate, but from his perspective it is not the case at all.

Could you please stop drooling and saying such passionate words?

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qinghan tried hard to pretend that he didn't see Lianna and nodded seriously.

"It seems to make sense."

"Then in the next few days, I will use the items on the alchemy table. What do you think?"

"Feel free to use it!"

"If the first one doesn't work, try using them one by one. If one doesn't work, try using a few at the same time. What do you think?"

"I can't wait... ahem, I think it's possible!"

Gu Qinghan's mouth twitched and he pretended not to have heard the first half of the sentence.

"Well, I'll give it a try tomorrow morning!"

Lianna felt that at this moment, she was finally surrounded by happiness.

"it is good!"

She nodded vigorously, and suddenly found that her legs were no longer sore, her waist no longer hurt, and she could climb to the eighth floor in one breath.

After a long wait, the fruits of the harvest finally came.
