Nangong Tianxiang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this and then looked at Ye Hao with a bit of fear before asking, "Are you over seventeen hundred years old?"
It's no wonder that Nangong Tianxiang was so scared; Ye Hao said he was a disciple of Nangong Tianhou, which would mean Ye Hao is from over seventeen hundred years ago. If that's the case, what kind of monster is Ye Hao?
Plus, it was late at night, and the wind was howling on the highway, truly scaring Nangong Tianxiang quite a bit!
"Ye Hao, don't scare me; I'm not brave," Nangong Tianxiang looked at Ye Hao with some fear and said.
Ye Hao was astonished for a while upon hearing this and then thought about how Nangong Tianhou was from more than seventeen hundred years ago. If he said that his soul taught him a mysterious body technique, it would surely scare Nangong Tianxiang a lot, but if he said he was someone from seventeen hundred years ago, Nangong Tianxiang would definitely open the car door and jump off the highway.
So Ye Hao could only calm Nangong Tianxiang's emotions and said, "Where did your thoughts go? I'm only twenty-two. I meant that I received the legacy your ancestor left me, so your ancestor is my mentor."
"My ancestor passed away over seventeen hundred years ago, so even if there's a legacy, it's impossible to remain until now," Nangong Tianxiang replied skeptically.
"It's indeed unlikely, but your ancestor had a special method to leave behind a very mysterious body technique," Ye Hao smiled.
"Eh, stop mentioning it, especially since it's still uncertain whether the person who left you the legacy is my ancestor," Nangong Tianxiang, in this eerie night, dared not talk more about people from a thousand years ago, so he diverted the topic.
"Alright! Let's not talk about this," Ye Hao smiled.
Then Nangong Tianxiang seemed to remember something and worriedly said, "I seem to have forgotten something very important."
"What important thing?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.
"Do you remember the young people we encountered when we left the farmhouse restaurant last night?" Nangong Tianxiang asked with a hint of unease.
"Yes, I remember, what's the matter?" Ye Hao asked.
"That group is notorious in Shanghai; the leaders include Du Yusheng, Wei Ran, Bi Yu, He Hongzhou, and Zhuang Yang. Among them, Wei Ran and Bi Yu were killed by that 'mysterious expert', and I don't know if Du Yusheng and others escaped. I only know that this group of unruly youth will definitely link Wei Ran and Bi Yu's deaths to you, regardless of whether you acted against them," Nangong Tianxiang said worriedly.
"Oh? Does that mean I'll be in great danger this time in Shanghai?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.
"No, you can't send me to Shanghai; drop me off at the highway exit ahead, and I'll find my own way back to Shanghai. It's too dangerous for you to go to Shanghai," Nangong Tianxiang said worriedly, as if Ye Hao would be targeted by Du Yusheng and others upon entering Shanghai.
"Haha." Ye Hao chuckled, said nothing more, and instead rapidly increased the speed of the Hennessey Venom.
Nangong Tianxiang watched the trees flash by outside and gripped the handle on the car window, asking, "Why are you driving so fast?"
"To get you to Shanghai early, to avoid being targeted," Ye Hao said, although he was not worried at all, saying this merely to comfort Nangong Tianxiang.
"But you're speeding; the cameras will capture it," Nangong Tianxiang said with a trembling voice as she watched the trees flying by outside the car window.
"Captured? I'm not worried. I'm driving so fast that when they try to capture it, I just flick the license plate light, making their efforts futile," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"You..."
"Sit tight and behave, so we can reach Shanghai soon," Ye Hao finished speaking and then focused on driving.
Ye Hao's extreme speed was immediately detected by surveillance, and soon, highway traffic police set up a blockade ahead on the highway. However, Ye Hao's speed was too fast, and as they were preparing to deploy equipment to stop him, Ye Hao had already whizzed past.
Thus, numerous highway traffic police followed behind, but Ye Hao's Hennessey was nearly four hundred kilometers per hour, and how could these traffic police possibly catch up?
After driving for nearly three hours, the highway ahead was blocked, and Ye Hao had no choice but to take out his credentials.
When the traffic officers saw Ye Hao's credentials and checked the security features, realizing it was authentic, they saluted and said, "Hello, chief."
"Alright, I have urgent matters and can't explain to you at the moment. Please report to the higher-ups and open the highway to Shanghai for me," Ye Hao instructed as he took back his credentials.
"Yes, chief," the leading traffic officer saluted and replied.
Ye Hao nodded and then accelerated the car away in front of the officers, even pushing the speed to over two hundred within their sight.
The leading traffic officer didn't lower his hand as he saluted, only doing so when Ye Hao's car finally disappeared from sight.
A younger traffic officer asked, "Leader, who is he? Why did we call him chief?"
"He... his status is too distinguished. We, who don't even rank as department heads, wouldn't call him anything other than chief," the leading middle-aged traffic officer sighed.
"Then who is he?" the young traffic officer asked.
"He's a rare Major General in Huaxia, a Major General who has earned several first-class merits. Is such a Major General not a chief?" the leading traffic officer replied.
"He's actually a Major General..." Not only was the young traffic officer shocked, but the others, who had already been amazed by Ye Hao's Major General rank, were further stunned. Ye Hao was so young, a Major General, and had earned multiple first-class merits. How could such a person not amaze them?
The leading traffic officer, once shaken, immediately contacted headquarters and asked them to open the highway to Shanghai.
As soon as Ye Hao drove off, Nangong Tianxiang curiously asked, "What was that document you just showed?"
"An adult highway driving pass," Ye Hao joked.
"Stop teasing, what exactly is that document?" Nangong Tianxiang asked curiously.
"It's nothing much, just something someone made for me, no big deal. We'll be in Shanghai soon; what does your family like?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.
"It's not a holiday, no need to buy anything! Just come empty-handed," Nangong Tianxiang laughed.
"That doesn't seem right," Ye Hao felt it impolite to go to someone's house without bringing anything.
"It's okay; crossing this bridge means we're almost in Shanghai! I'm finally almost home," Nangong Tianxiang said contentedly.
"Haha! Indeed, almost there," Ye Hao also chuckled.
Little did he know, as the Hennessey Yue B8888 entered Shanghai, it was immediately noticed by someone. (To be continued.
