I think my luck is turning around.

"It will take less than an hour to get there."

The coachman answered seriously, but Mr. Ji seemed impatient. If he could ride a horse right now, he would ride directly from the base to the capital.

But the night's high-speed driving left Ji Xia nearly vomiting to the point of exhaustion. Ji Xixi wasn't much better off. She's currently resting and will arrive in Beijing later.

Just as he saw the city gates of the capital, someone stopped Ji Xia's carriage. Ji Xia was anxious to enter the city, but this interruption annoyed him greatly. His voice was displeased as he lifted a corner of the curtain to see who was blocking the carriage.

The man immediately knelt down. Ji Xia watched this scene without any reaction; he simply couldn't stand such a tactic.

"Please forgive me, sir!"

The man's voice was loud, but in Ji Xia's eyes, he was just an impatient fool. What time is it now? If he wants forgiveness, he should kneel in the ancestral hall! Blocking the road here is just delaying things.

“Look up at me.”

The man kneeling there dared not raise his head, afraid of angering Mr. Ji. But now Mr. Ji was even angrier, yet Ji Xia truly did not want to admit that such foolish behavior was something he had taught him.

"Then stay kneeling here! Don't get up without orders."

With that, Mr. Ji lowered the curtain and entered the city.

They had barely entered the city when the Ji family's steward arrived. Without saying anything, the steward took over the coachman's job and led Mr. Ji towards Lesi Lane.

"Sir, Miss Ji Ran is very likely at Le Si Fang right now, and Le Si Fang has specifically given you the opportunity to meet Bai Shi Tong today."

Ji Xia just listened without saying anything, and no one knew what he was thinking. In any case, Ji Xia would not hurt a transmigrator who had just arrived in this world.

Moreover, An Ge has a large number of scripts, putting her on a completely different level from Jiang Mingxue, who only has one script to survive to the end. An Ge, on the other hand, has a vast collection of scripts to use in her challenges.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Le Si Fang. At this moment, all eyes were on this carriage, and sitting outside was Steward Wang, one of the stewards of the Ji family!

There's only one person who could have Butler Wang drive them to Lesifang! That person must be Ji Xia.

All eyes were on her. Ji Xia lifted the curtain and slowly stepped down from the carriage. Exhausted, Ji Xia's expression was somewhat blank, yet she exuded a dignified and imposing aura.

An Ge, sitting in the room, directly felt this aura, and more importantly, the atmosphere outside was different. The outside atmosphere, which had been somewhat noisy, had now become very quiet.

The door to the room was open, and An Ge remained seated, motionless. Faced with Ji Xia, this "bug" of a character, An Ge didn't know what to do. Regarding Ji Xia, there were only past records, no predictions for the future.

Ji Xia went upstairs, and led by Zhan Yu, she arrived at the open door and looked at An Ge sitting inside, who was sitting rather upright.

Ji Xia's eyes swept over the rain-stained face. It was a different feeling; she was beautiful and smiling, but this outfit did not suit the image in Ji Xia's mind.

Ji Xia turned his attention back to reality. He walked into the room and looked at the person in front of him seriously, but the first thing An Ge said was something he hadn't expected.

"Aren't you uncomfortable wearing this?"

An Ge was completely bewildered by this statement. What kind of person was this Mr. Ji? He was actually concerned about her now. She should have asked Mr. Ji about the specifics first!

"You don't need to worry about that. We should have a good talk about Ji Ran's problem."

"You've already gone this far, and you're still asking about my attitude? Isn't it a bit too late?"

Ji Xia's words were very stressful, but An Ge couldn't care less about that right now. If Ji Ran went out now, she would definitely be caught by the organization.

An Ge sat there, looking at the bug in front of her. Her approach of acting first and informing later was indeed inappropriate, but the important thing for her right now was to let Ji Ran see her mother.

"You know Ji Ran's fate, right?"

“I know, I’ve known for eight years. Over the years, I’ve taught her to be independent, to be down-to-earth, and to protect herself.”

But after I left, she started doing things I never expected, looking for her parents and her family.

Every March, we spend a whole month on the northern border! But no one comes looking for us, there's never been any news of anyone looking for us. Ji Ran's heart should have long since turned from expectation to disappointment, to…”

Ji Xia choked up as she spoke, her eyes welling with tears.
