Li Qi felt a bit nervous upon realizing who the Spy was.

After all, the Spy was right beside him. What if he pushed them too hard and they suddenly lashed out and hurt someone? Should Li Qi resist or not?

Clutching the folding fan in his hands, Li Qi felt for the first time how troublesome his current disguise was.

If Li Qi were still a Warrant Officer, he wouldn't need to think so much and could just take the Spy down directly.

But right now, he was 'Miss Angela'.

Playing with the lace on the folding fan with his fingers, Li Qi inadvertently glanced at Amy, and their eyes met.

When he noticed the look in Amy's eyes, Li Qi's heart sank.

This person... seems to have made a decision, and it seems to be directed at me?

Amy's eyes revealed a certain determination.

Under Li Qi's gaze, her seemingly still body subtly leaned forward, moving slightly closer to Li Qi.

Observing her movements, Li Qi had reason to suspect that the method she had in mind to escape was likely to take him hostage.

This wasn't hard to guess.

Li Qi's current identity was that of a Noble, and within the Duchy of Uno, Nobles held a high status.

Even a descendant of a Baron, a commoner with no official position or military rank, had to be treated with respect.

Not to mention if a Noble descendant were taken hostage.

If Amy was cornered and chose to take a Noble hostage, perhaps the Guard Department would truly be hesitant to act, afraid to do anything to Amy.

The Noble closest to Amy right now was Li Qi.

Wait, did this person think this from the very beginning?

Li Qi's gaze was quite unfriendly, but this wasn't the time to think about that.

Seeing that the Female Guard responsible for the search was about to come over, Li Qi quickly thought of a solution.

He subtly picked up his handbag and placed it on his lap.

When the Female Guard came over, he would hand the handbag to her for inspection.

The contents of the handbag were things that noble girls aged fourteen or fifteen would carry.

Things like sachets, cosmetics, small accessories, and wallets.

Besides the small booklet containing Combat Techniques, there were no suspicious items inside.

As for that small booklet, once Li Qi had mastered the Combat Techniques within it, he had directly destroyed it, leaving no trace.

Therefore, there was nothing suspicious about Li Qi at the moment, and he could confidently let the Guard check.

"Miss, please stand up."

After checking the carry-on bag, the Female Guard respectfully said to Li Qi.

Li Qi complied, standing up with his hands held flat.

The Female Guard's hands touched Li Qi's chest, waist, and near his thighs. Only after confirming there was nothing suspicious did she apologize:

"Excuse me, Miss, you may sit down."

"Mm."

Li Qi nodded somewhat coldly, but just as he was about to sit down, his heel 'accidentally' stepped on the hem of his skirt, and he then lost his balance, falling backward.

"Watch out!"

Amy and the Female Guard simultaneously reached out, but Amy was a little faster.

Being already very close to Li Qi, she quickly caught him and held him in her arms.

Li Qi, who was about to fall, was thus saved by 'Amy'.

He raised his head, putting on the acting skills he had from his days as a celebrity, giving Amy a grateful look, then quickly got up and straightened his dress:

"I'm sorry... I've made you two laugh."

"Are you alright?"

The Female Guard's heart pounded as she asked worriedly.

When Li Qi fell backward just now, her heart almost leaped out of her chest.

Unlike the Guard Captain who had connections, she was just a regular Guard.

If, during the inspection of a Noble, she caused them harm, she wouldn't just lose her job as a Guard; she might even face imprisonment!

So the Female Guard was extremely worried now, afraid that Li Qi would say "I'm not alright," which would truly be the end for her.

Most Nobles were petty people who looked down on them, the so-called commoners, so the Female Guard's worries were not unfounded.

But thankfully.

This 'Noble Miss' in front of her had no intention of making things difficult for her, a commoner.

She heard the Noble Miss say:

"I'm fine, I just accidentally stepped on my hem. Warrant Officer, please continue your work."

"O-Okay."

Seeing that Li Qi was truly fine and didn't intend to make a fuss or cause trouble, the Warrant Officer also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Amy.

Amy was the only female noble left in the train car who hadn't been inspected yet.

The girl's scent still seemed to linger in the air, making Amy feel somewhat captivated.

The target she had chosen this time was truly exceptional. Not only was her voice pleasant, but her scent was also so unique.

She just didn't know what she looked like.

But her eyes were very beautiful, so her appearance couldn't be bad.

Amy was still savoring the feeling of the girl being in her arms just now.

It wasn't until the Female Guard walked over to her and began checking her carry-on bag that Amy snapped back to reality. This didn't seem like the time to be lost in thoughts of beauty.

She watched the Female Guard with a hint of nervousness, her eyes occasionally drifting over to the girl sitting nearby who seemed not to be paying attention.

If the Female Guard discovered the blueprint hidden on her later, Amy would immediately erupt, push the guard away, and take the girl hostage.

Amy had been in Uno for some time and understood the status of nobles in this country.

With a hostage in hand, they wouldn't dare do anything.

Moreover, the train was currently traveling through the wilderness. Afterward, she would just need to stop the train midway. Amy would take the noble girl and directly disappear into the forest. It would likely take them a considerable amount of time to find them.

The issue of survival in the forest needed to be considered...

Amy calculated her next moves, while subconsciously reaching for the blueprint in the inner pocket of her trench coat.

But when her hand touched the inside of her coat, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she tightly gripped the pocket of her trench coat.

It was gone!

The blueprint that should have been there was gone!!

When?! How did it disappear?!

In that instant, Amy's heart rate soared to its limit, and cold sweat even seeped from her forehead.

More terrifying than being discovered with the blueprint was the fact that it had vanished from her body without her realizing it!

But how was that possible?

She had checked before getting on the train; the blueprint was supposed to be in her pocket!

"Madam, please raise your hands."

Amy's heart pounded incessantly, but the Warrant Officer had already finished checking her belongings and began checking Amy's pockets.

Her gaze lingered on the Warrant Officer for a moment. Amy released her grip on her pocket and said with her usual smile:

"Of course. Like this?"

Amy slightly raised her hands level. The Warrant Officer nodded:

"Yes, thank you for your cooperation."

As she spoke, she checked Amy's body with her hands.

During this time, Amy also thought of something and looked at the girl sitting nearby, who seemed completely unconcerned about what was happening.

From the time they got on the train until now, it hadn't even been half an hour.

The only person Amy had come into contact with was the girl next to her named Angela.

And it was intimate physical contact!

If anyone could have taken the blueprint from her, it was likely this noble girl, Angela!

But was that possible?

A girl who looked like she wasn't even an adult yet, not only guessed that Amy was a spy but also secretly stole the well-hidden blueprint from her without anyone noticing.

Amy didn't want to believe that she had misjudged.

But now, this seemed to be the only possibility.

"Madam, that's all. Thank you again for your cooperation."

The Warrant Officer, who naturally found nothing on Amy, respectfully said to her and then turned to walk towards the Guard Captain.

Confirming that the item was not in the noble car either, the Guard Captain's expression was not good.

But they couldn't really treat these nobles like commoners, inspecting them thoroughly from head to toe, inside and out.

In the end, the Guard Captain could only give the nobles in the car a deep look, then apologize to them, and turn to leave.

Only after all the guards had left did Amy breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at Angela again and sat down opposite this mysterious noble girl.
