I think my luck is turning around.

Chapter 157 Entering the Ji Residence at Midnight

After hearing the story, An Ge had her own opinion on the matter, but now she didn't. No matter how you look at it, there's no God's perspective on this matter. Perhaps from Xiao Yuzhu's point of view, she might not love James at all?

This is all from James's perspective, what James sees, not from Xiaoyuzhu's perspective, nor from God's perspective. Therefore, Ange will not comment.

An Ge finished the remaining half cup of tea and said slowly, "I will help you with this. It's just getting into Nange Island, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Whether you ask Ji Xia for help or seek Song Tianqing's assistance, you will be able to get in smoothly.

An Ge ignored the darkness outside, stood up, looked at Li Yuesheng next to her, and pulled Li Yuesheng up without any hesitation.

"Take me to the Ji residence; I want to have a chat with Mr. Ji."

"Now? Have you even glanced at the time outside! Don't go, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

As she spoke, Li Yuesheng was about to go back to sleep, but An Ge had no intention of sleeping at all and grabbed Li Yuesheng's wrist.

"I absolutely have to go, and hurry up! I can even sleep for a while in the car. If this gets delayed, I'll never forgive you!"

An Ge looked intently at Li Yuesheng. What could he say? He had nothing to say. He had simply woken up the dozing servant at the door and told him to hurry and prepare the carriage. This guy was a big shot, someone to be treated like royalty. Since he couldn't be persuaded, he might as well just obey!

An Ge stood there waiting, watching the light and shadows on the ground, the light radiating from inside the house. The shadows on the ground were those of objects, one of which was moving – Li Yuesheng's hand. Li Yuesheng was gesturing wildly, telling Zhan Shi to rest, saying there might be good news tomorrow morning.

James looked exhausted. Back in his room from the previous night, he lay down and looked like an old man. He was indeed nearly sixty, and he'd never looked this old before!

James lay down; he was really tired and needed to rest. He just needed a rest to feel better.

An Ge had already followed the light from the person in front to the carriage and skillfully boarded it. Li Yuesheng, on the other hand, leaped directly onto a horse next to the carriage.

The journey was utterly silent, so quiet that only the clatter of horses' hooves and the rumble of wheels on the road could be heard. An Ge was actually looking forward to how the story would unfold, wondering what kind of impact it would have if Ji Xia went along.

The carriage traveled smoothly for a long time. An Ge was quite bored inside the carriage, so she lifted the curtain on Li Yuesheng's side and looked at the tall and imposing man.

"Li Laosan, can't you speed up? You're really too slow!"

How could Li Yuesheng refuse An Ge's suggestion? The coachman in front cracked his whip, and the carriage immediately sped up. An Ge had already gripped her seat firmly to avoid falling.

Upon arriving at the Ji residence, it was noted that the Ji family did not welcome guests at this time, but after knocking, they were allowed to enter. Li Yuesheng, being a first-timer, was somewhat reserved. They were led directly to Mr. Ji's study, but despite being a study, there wasn't a single book inside!

Li Yuesheng looked around and saw that there was only a table inside, no bookshelves, and only a lamp illuminating the empty space. They were waiting there. The chairs had been moved from the side against the wall. An Ge sat next to the table, which was rather large, like a negotiating table, where people could sit around it.

Li Yuesheng sat down with An Ge, looking around. He was curious, but also wary. The surroundings were ordinary, the lighting ordinary; there was nothing suspicious. But this study seemed too strange.

After waiting a while, Ji Xia entered the study. He was dressed neatly, and his hair was clean too, indicating that he had taken the time to do a quick wash and grooming. Ji Xia sat down opposite them, looking at the two of them with great incomprehension.

"What? You're up in the middle of the night, trying to cause trouble?"

"No! Do you know about Nangkat Island?"

Ji Xia listened and nodded. He knew that place had a beautiful environment and could be called a paradise on earth.

"I know! It's a beautiful place, with spring-like weather all year round, mountains and water... What? You're going to Nangkat Island?"

It was obvious that Ji Xia's previous words were just a perfunctory response, but An Ge seemed to have taken them to heart, since she genuinely intended to go in.

"Yes, yes! I need you to show me the way!"

An Ge's expectant eyes couldn't hide any emotion; her entire expression seemed to say, "Since you know, take me there! Hurry! Hurry!"

But what Ji Xia said earlier wasn't entirely true. The reality of Nangka Island isn't that great; the cultural environment is, to put it mildly, questionable. And the island's unhealthy rulers are equally problematic!

"Are you crazy? Or am I hearing things? Or is this all a dream? Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

A series of questions made Ange suddenly realize that Nangge Island might not be as beautiful as described. But she had already promised to take James to Nangge Island to meet Xiaoyuzhu.

"Anyway, just tell me the address, I can go there myself..."

Before An Ge could finish speaking, she was startled by Lin Jingqing suddenly pushing the door open and entering. What was this guy doing here? He's like a persistent ghost! An Ge thought to herself, rolling her eyes in exasperation.

"No."

Lin Jingqing remained silent. These words were spoken by Ji Xia. Regardless of the circumstances, the person in front of him was of great importance to his interests, since the owner of the Book of Peeping had not yet been found, and he could only assume it was her.

However, it's obviously not allowed for her to go to that kind of place, but it's not impossible for me to take her there.

"Where are you going? I'll go with you."

"Come with me? Do you even have time? You only have a month, and a third of that month should have passed by now, right? Are you crazy to come with me?!"

An Ge made no attempt to hide her feelings, stating those words directly. After all, speaking frankly and directly to Lin Jingqing was An Ge's way of handling things. She couldn't let others see that their relationship was different from others if she acted coy.

"It's okay, I can stay with you longer... longer."

Hearing this, An Ge sighed. What kind of person is this? Doesn't he have anything to do? He just has to stay by my side, as if I'm some kind of good person.

"Regardless of what we say, can you give us the address so we can find it ourselves?"

An Ge looked at Ji Xia, who also got up and walked towards a wall.

"Nangkat Island...Nangkat Island...starting with N, found it! Here."

Then Ji Xia pressed down on a spot, and an entire bookshelf rose up from the ground, appearing straight in front of Ji Xia.

This scene shocked the other three people. What was going on? How did a bookshelf suddenly appear?
