Chapter 553: Chapter 554: Why Stop Me
On the expressway from Zhonghai to the airport, a military jeep with a modified engine was racing at nearly 200 kilometers per hour, like a streak of dark green lightning!
All the other vehicles fearfully made way, knowing that if a military-plated vehicle crashed into them, no one would dare to interfere, no matter how unjust it might seem.
Yang Chen stared straight ahead with a blank expression. For him, speeding was no longer a technical skill but an instinctual manipulation of the machinery. The car moved like an extension of his own limbs, able to avoid any obstacle and proceed along the perfect route without any conscious thought.
In fact, the task of hunting down Lu Min could have been handed over to the Sea Eagle team or the Rose Society's Red Thorns group. They could intercept and eliminate Lu Min far earlier than he could. Killing someone as unremarkable as Lu Min was child's play.
However, Yang Chen decided to handle it himself. Lu Min had targeted his woman and was the mastermind behind his imprisonment. These reasons alone were enough for Yang Chen to want to personally deal with him.
Moreover, knowing now that Lu Min had a complex background, Yang Chen didn't want anyone else to get involved. He would take care of everything himself.
The speed of the jeep left the owners of the few cars on the expressway dumbfounded. Entering the last curve before the airport road, the jeep didn't slow down at all, charging down at nearly 200 kilometers per hour!
Some car owners thought the jeep driver was suicidal. But to their astonishment, the jeep's tires screeched against the ground, sparks flying, and managed to take the curve without flipping over!
It was a driving skill of the highest order! Everyone was shocked, thinking, no wonder he's a military driver. Yanxia's soldiers are truly impressive!
If Yang Chen knew what these people were thinking, he might feel a bit annoyed. Unexpectedly, he had ended up enhancing the military's reputation.
Less than three kilometers ahead lay the departure point of Zhonghai International Airport. According to reports from the Sea Eagle team, Lu Min had just arrived at the airport.
A cold smile appeared on Yang Chen's lips. This guy wouldn't even need to go through security; he could die right at the entrance.
As for whether killing someone would cause a commotion, Yang Chen wasn't foolish enough to get caught. Using his true energy to remotely shatter an ordinary person's heart was simple. At most, he would let Lu Min see his face before he died, so he wouldn't become a vengeful ghost without a target.
Just as Yang Chen thought the situation was under control, a sudden instinctive sensation flashed through his mind!
"Who is it?!"
Even with Yang Chen's reaction speed, he was a split second too slow!
The moment he sensed a powerful presence approaching, the speeding jeep disappeared from the expressway!
In a business car behind the jeep, an elderly couple exchanged glances.
However, every time he saw this woman, he had paid little attention to her because of her extremely ordinary appearance. Now that he thought about it, considering how important Yang Gongming was, having only her accompany him should have indicated her significance. But he never expected her to be this formidable!
"Who exactly are you?" Yang Chen no longer cared about Lu Min. He didn't want to waste any words and couldn't believe that this elderly woman, whom he had always overlooked, had performed such an incredible act!
How could such a person be by Yang Gongming's side? Could she be from Hongmeng?
Cold sweat trickled down Yang Chen's back. It wasn't fear but the suddenness of the situation that made him feel a rare loss of control.
For someone used to having everything under control, this situation was unfamiliar to Yang Chen.
"My name is Yan San Niang, a servant of the Yang family responsible for taking care of the master's daily life. If you don't mind, you can call me Granny Yan," Yan San Niang said with a smile.
Yan San Niang? Yang Chen had never heard of this name. However, thinking about it, there were plenty of top experts around the world that he didn't know of. The last Hongmeng Emissary he met, Ling Xuzi, was one, and now there was another, Yan San Niang. It felt like seeing a ghost! Abroad, he had been undefeated for years, but back in Yanxia, two people had appeared within a year whom he couldn't see through!
"Why are you stopping me? Did Yang Gongming send you?" Yang Chen frowned, realizing that his plan to kill Lu Min was likely thwarted.
Yan San Niang neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "Young Master Chen should address the master as 'Grandfather.' Of course, if you can't bring yourself to say it now, I understand. As for why I'm stopping you, you should know the reason without needing to ask."
Getting out of the car, Yang Chen stood before Yan San Niang, scratching his head in frustration. "Your information is quite timely. I've been back less than half a day, and you're already here to stop me. Did that old man come too?"
Yan San Niang shook her head and smiled. "The master received a call from Miss Jinyu just now, so I hurried over. The master is still in Yanjing."
"What?!"
Since inheriting the divine position from the previous Hades, Yang Chen had never been frightened, only occasionally tense. But now, San Niang's words truly shocked him!
From Yanjing to Zhonghai, spanning north to south, was over a thousand kilometers! Even if Yang Jinyu's call was made right after the incident, there was no way San Niang could have made it here by plane from the Yang family residence!
In other words, San Niang couldn't have used any conventional means of transportation!
A terrifying thought popped into Yang Chen's mind. Could this kind-looking old woman have used the same method to move the jeep, traversing space alone to arrive in Zhonghai from Yanjing within an hour or even just a few minutes?!
Yang Chen was confident that if he were in an unlocked state, using spatial laws, he could move a thousand kilometers in an hour. Any faster, even if spatial laws allowed it, his body couldn't withstand it!
However, Yang Chen recalled that the Hongmeng Emissary Ling Xuzi had used a similar incomprehensible space-crossing method. Could this woman be related to Hongmeng? What was her true background?!
