Just then, Senior Qingyi, who had previously placed high expectations on her, walked over. Seeing this, Amy didn't dare hesitate and quickly greeted her.
"Senior Qingyi, you're here."
"Mm, I came to check on your progress. How is everything?"
Her tone was calm, yet it carried the natural authority of a senior. Speaking with her felt like being a newcomer under careful guidance.
Amy felt the same and immediately began explaining the recent situation.
"Recently, due to the Vision Corporation case, the General Affairs Department introduced new regulations for handling citizen IDs and Hollow access permits. Since citizens aren't familiar with these changes, they often miss required documents."
Amy had memorized all the rules, including the updated ones. That was likely why the higher-ups had assigned her here.
At that moment, the siblings, who had arrived without anyone noticing, happened to overhear their conversation. Qingyi also spotted them.
"Hm? Wait a moment... Wise, Belle, it's you two. What brings you here?" she asked with a faint smile.
"Hehe, it's because my brother missed you so much, Qingyi, so he dragged me along just to see you," Belle said playfully.
Although Qingyi understood the teasing, she still chose to play along.
"Is that so? Then I'm truly honored that Wise came all this way to see me."
Wise, who had intended to stop his sister, paused when he heard that and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Not at all, Senior. Someone as intelligent and charming as you, with such remarkable strength, is certainly worth the trip."
"Oh? Is that so? I didn't expect Wise to favor my type. But I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I have no interest in such matters right now. Otherwise, with your looks and abilities, I might have fallen for you."
A faint smile curved on Qingyi's lips. Unmoved by Wise's words, she attempted a counter, though her lack of experience in such matters was evident.
How could she possibly match someone like Wise?
"That's a pity. Senior Qingyi is truly adorable."
At his words, a slight blush appeared on Qingyi's face. Remembering Amy was still present, she quickly cleared her throat and shifted the topic.
"That's enough joking. Let's focus on business. Why are you here?"
With that, the siblings explained their purpose. After hearing them out, Qingyi handed the matter over to Amy.
As for herself, she used the excuse of having something to attend to and stepped into the Public Security building. A meeting was about to begin.
Her tea hadn't even been brewed yet. If she didn't hurry, she wouldn't get to drink it during the meeting.
At that moment, Amy, upon realizing someone needed help with document processing, finally snapped out of her shock from the earlier exchange.
It wasn't entirely her fault. After all, Senior Qingyi had never acted like that before.
'Could such a composed senior really say things like that? Could it be because of this boy, Wise?'
With that thought in mind, Amy carefully observed Wise. The longer she looked, the more surprised she became.
She was certain he was the most handsome man she had ever seen. His temperament was gentle, and he clearly had Senior Qingyi's approval.
Before she realized it, Amy had already formed a favorable impression of Wise.
Still, this was work time, so she set those thoughts aside. Focusing again, Amy entered work mode and began handling the siblings' request.
The business license was processed smoothly. However, helping the old woman apply for a citizen ID required a signed power of attorney.
Left with no alternative, the siblings finalized the license first and then contacted the old woman about the document needed for the real-name ID process.

Meanwhile, in another place, the meeting room fell silent for a moment when Qingyi entered.
After she took her seat, the discussion continued, focusing mainly on an organization called "Mountain Lion."
Zhu Yuan had already taken action, leading a team to capture its members.

At the same time, the siblings did not know about Public Security's operation. After returning to the video store, they had nothing pressing to do.
Wise often used this time to visit his girlfriends, especially while he still had the freedom to move around.
Now that he thought about it, Rain had once said she wanted to change herself. Even though she still came by, her visits seemed less frequent lately.
With that in mind, Wise soon arrived at the door of Rain's upscale apartment.
He rang the doorbell first, but no one answered. Wise felt a bit surprised.
After a moment, he took out the key, unlocked the door, and pushed it open as if he owned the house.
Rain had given him the key before, telling him to come by whenever he had time. This was the first time he had actually used it.
It wasn't that Wise had never come on his own, but every time he did, she had always been home.
The living room was empty. He walked into the bedroom and immediately spotted Rain lying on the bed.
He chose not to wake her. If she was still asleep now, she must have stayed up late, whether for games or commissions, he couldn't tell.
As he reached to tuck her in, he noticed something unusual. Her skin felt far too warm.
A faint unease settled in his chest. Carefully, he slipped his hand beneath her collar to check her temperature more precisely.
"She has a fever," He murmured.
At that moment, the hand he used to check her temperature was suddenly grasped.
Looking down, he saw Rain. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes hazy, but she still recognized him.
"Darling... huff... I feel... a little unwell..."
Her breathing was uneven, her voice soft and weak. At the same time, her fingers tightened slightly, as if trying to pull him under the covers.
Wise didn't resist. But the moment he got in, Rain suddenly turned over and pressed herself against him, a faint smile forming on her lips.
"Hehe... now... you've fallen into my trap... haven't you?"
She looked dazed. Wise could only hope the fever hadn't made her delirious. From what he could tell, her temperature had already exceeded 38 degrees Celsius.
Before he could respond, Rain suddenly made a move.
