When Long Teng received the call and hurried back to City A, it was already after five in the afternoon. The sight of Housekeeper Long's discolored face prompted him to ask, "What's going on? Didn't you say the hypnosis was successful?"
Housekeeper Long pursed his lips, coughed lightly, and told Long Teng, "It was successful, and now she's looking everywhere for you."
"Looking everywhere for me?"
Long Teng frowned. As soon as his words fell, a slender figure rushed toward him, "Brother Long, you're finally back."
The woman's voice was as pleasant as a silver bell, with a touch of tenderness—something Long Teng found unfamiliar. He reflexively stepped back, and the woman, unable to stop in time, hurtled toward the hallway's banister, suddenly screaming in panic, "Long Teng, save me."
Fortunately, Long Teng reacted quickly and stretched out his hand to pull her back, "Troublesome."
