Chapter 40 Amy is being manipulated
Bang-bang-bang-bang
The sound of the train makes people drowsy.
Coupled with the cool breeze blowing in from outside, people can't help but want to take a rest.
But at this moment, neither of the two people sitting in the rear corner of the car felt sleepy.
The noble girl was flipping through the romance novel she had read yesterday. She seemed to be immersed in it and reading with great interest.
Amy pursed her lips, her eyes slightly passed Angela and looked at the other nobles in the carriage. After making sure that no one was paying attention to this side, Amy finally spoke:
"Where are the things?"
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Angela's tone was still calm and cold, as if she was not interested in anything in the world.
Amy took a deep breath, leaned forward a little, and said in a heavier tone:
"I know you must have taken it!"
"Haha." Hearing this, Angela suddenly laughed out loud.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say, Amy was still stunned when she heard Angela's laughter.
It was the first time she saw the cold noble Angela smile. Although her smile could not be seen, her laughter sounded very nice.
But Amy soon came to her senses.
Because Angela in front of him took the green cylinder containing the drawing in her hand.
She stared at Amy with her beautiful eyes, her eyes slightly curved, and asked:
"Ms. Amy, is this what you are talking about?"
"Give it to me—"
Amy subconsciously reached out to take it.
But Angela just flipped her hand and the cylinder disappeared.
It's like magic.
"Sorry, I won't give you this until you get off the bus."
Angela said slowly, and picked up the book on the table and started reading.
Amy gritted her teeth and stared at the other person unkindly.
Amy spent the whole day hunting sparrows but got her eyes pecked by a sparrow. She never expected that the 'prey' that she had originally wanted to kill time with on her way back home would now become the hunter.
The identity of the girl in front of me is definitely not simple.
She was definitely not the Angela Angulo that Amy had accidentally seen on the ticket.
After all, an ordinary baron family cannot cultivate such a quirky guy.
Taking a deep breath, Amy forced herself to calm down.
Let’s not talk about the ownership of the drawings for now. Anyway, judging from Angela’s attitude, she should not have the intention of reporting Amy.
This is good news.
The bad news is...
She had no idea what Angela was going to do.
"What do you want?"
Taking a deep breath, Amy asked solemnly.
Since the other party neither reported her nor returned the drawings to her, he must have his own conditions.
We can negotiate if there are conditions, and that means Amy has a chance to get the blueprint back.
Amy thought Angela might ask for too much.
But Angela just said calmly: "Don't bother me, don't bother me after you get off the bus, I will return the things to you after I get off the bus, otherwise... I will give it to the security guard."
"That's all...?"
Amy couldn't believe it when she heard such simple conditions.
Angela nodded slightly: "Only this way."
“…”
Amy and Angela's eyes met, and she could read the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Angela was serious, this was indeed her condition.
"Then I..."
Amy was about to say something when suddenly an unopened folding fan came to her lips, blocking her from saying anything else.
The folding fan was only a few centimeters away from Amy's lips. Amy followed the folding fan to see Angela's palm wrapped in a white silk glove, and then her slender arm.
Looking at Angela with puzzled eyes, Amy heard her say:
"From now on, Ms. Amy, please be quiet."
“…”
The corners of Amy's mouth twitched, and she closed her mouth and stopped talking.
But as she calmed down, she also felt a little resentful in her heart.
Am I...so unpopular?
…
It's finally quiet.
Seeing that he had finally tamed the spy of unknown nationality in front of him, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right, taking the ‘confidential documents’ away from the other side was the solution Li Qi came up with.
Li Qi's idea is simple.
Since discovering the spy's identity would get him into trouble, it would be better not to expose the spy.
Coincidentally, when Li Qi was using his superpowers to pay attention to Amy, he noticed that there was an abnormal flow of magic power somewhere on Amy's body.
That should be a magical item used to seal something. The special flow of magic on it was extremely conspicuous to Li Qi.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, Amy's confidential documents that were stolen were inside that magical item.
So Li Qi gave it a try, using the tricks he learned in the gambler world of his previous life to steal the things from Amy.
It turned out that Li Qi guessed right, he completely grasped Amy's weak spot.
While making the other party afraid to act rashly, it also successfully made the other party shut up, bringing about a rare moment of silence.
This wave, this wave is a great achievement of tricks.
Li Qi did not expect that the tricks he learned from the 'Dark Gambler' out of boredom in his previous life could actually be useful here.
After all, in the previous life, only the "dark gamblers" would cheat, and the decent gamblers relied on skills and...superpowers.
Well... I won’t complain about the distorted worldview in my previous life. Anyway, thanks to the trick, Li Qi was able to steal things without being noticed.
I always feel that if I really have no other way to make a living, I might be able to survive by becoming a thief...
Time flies by while I am daydreaming.
Before the sun was about to set, the train finally arrived at its destination.
Before getting off the car, Li Qi walked to the door first, followed by Amy. They both got off the car and walked towards the exit.
When Li Qi was about to meet Genero, Amy couldn't help but say:
"Where are my things...?"
Li Qi turned his head, opened the fan and put it to his mouth as if to hide his smile. He smiled and said, "You spoke, Ms. Amy."
"……?"
Amy's expression was a little tense, she clenched her fists and the corners of her mouth twitched constantly.
Seeing this, Li Qi stopped teasing the other party. He spread out his left hand, and a dark green cylinder magically appeared in his palm, which he handed to Amy.
Amy quickly took the cylinder, put it away and put it in her arms, and then she heard Li Qi say: "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Amy, but I hope we won't meet again."
After saying that, Li Qi closed his fan and turned to leave.
Amy watched his back from behind. After seeing him walk together with her housekeeper, she took a deep breath and carefully left the station.
In any case, she got the things safely. In order to avoid any accidents, it would be better for her to leave Uno as soon as possible.
…
The nobles got off the car first and left. The captains of the guards clenched their fists and looked unwilling at the nobles.
His intuition told him that the confidential documents might be hidden among these nobles, but he had no way to do anything about it.
Because the chief of guard is just a civilian.
Even if the marshal could find nobles in this border province who could help him with the investigation, it would take time.
At least it is certainly impossible to conduct an investigation today.
But after today, the nobles will scatter and God knows whether the confidential drawings can be found.
It seems that the marshal is right. These nobles... are truly the cancer of the country...
The chief guard was thinking in his heart, but suddenly, he heard the anxious voice of the guard:
"Sir! Please take a look at this!"
Her voice came from the noble carriage, causing the captain of the guard to frown.
"Why are you so flustered? What's wrong?" The captain of the guard said to the guard lady in dissatisfaction and walked into the noble carriage.
Then I saw the guard lady, holding a file tied with a golden ribbon, hurried over and said:
"Look, the confidential document we are looking for...is this it!?"
"!?"
The guard's eyes widened instantly.
The matter was urgent, so he didn't care about anything else. He quickly took off the golden ribbon, opened the document and took a look.
When he saw the contents, the chief guard's pupils shrank and he quickly closed the document.
The chief guard could not understand the contents inside, nor could he confirm whether it was a so-called confidential document.
Because what his superiors asked him to find was not the blueprint in his hand, but a file box sealed with a magic lock on the outside.
But even if this thing is not the confidential document he is looking for, he cannot be careless.
After all, there is a military seal on the lower right corner of this document.
