"Phew... They didn't catch us..."
Wang Xiao and Wang Xueying slipped past the guards, moving like shadows beneath the fading light.
Wang Xiao's sharp gaze flickered to his sister, urging her to remain calm. The guards, distracted and on edge, didn't so much as glance in their direction. Their heightened alertness seemed to work in the siblings' favor.
Ahead of them loomed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—a massive, circular structure that gleamed with a translucent sheen.
The entire building seemed to pulse with energy, its glass walls glowing softly in the sun.
Wang Xueying's breath hitched as the grandeur of the place struck her. Unable to contain herself, she grabbed Wang Xiao's shoulders, her hands trembling with excitement.
"Hey, I can't believe it—we tricked them!" she whispered, her laughter bubbling just beneath the surface.
Her eyes, wide with awe, darted between the towering building and the people rushing inside.
