Chapter 556: Chapter 552 Su Mei (2)

"Save them?" Ling Chen shook his head and said, "Miss Su, you can’t even protect yourself now, you should take more care of yourself. I’ve advised you long ago that this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t insisted on negotiating with the God Organization. All in all, you’re just too naive. I’ve dealt with the God Organization for so many years, I know them better than you do. In their eyes, there is never a compromise, either submit or perish, there is no other choice."

"I understand all that you’re saying, it’s just... sigh!" Su Mei sighed and said: "I just didn’t want the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to get involved in the strife. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has been inherited for hundreds of years, it has some foundation, but I don’t want it to be consumed so quickly."

"In this era, the middle ground is long outdated. What you’re doing will only hasten the downfall of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. There’s a saying that goes, ’If you don’t advance, you will fall back.’ Seeking self-preservation will only speed up the decline of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. The God Organization is targeting you precisely because only you are capable of threatening them. If you still think about coexisting peacefully with the God Organization, then everything is over."

"You’re right." Su Mei said with shame: "I was too naive. If it weren’t for me, Elder Zhou and the others wouldn’t have had this trouble."

"Alright! You don’t need to blame yourself too much. It’s not too late to come to your senses now. Elder Zhou and the others have only been captured, there’s no immediate danger to their lives, don’t worry too much. Once I’ve taken you to a safe place, I’ll figure out a way to save them."

While speaking, Ling Chen glanced at Su Mei, seeing the exposed white skin on her chest, he quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look any further.

"Right!" Ling Chen coughed lightly, trying to shift his attention, and asked: "As the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, how can you not handle even an ordinary person?"

Su Mei countered with a question: "Who said that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has to learn martial arts?"

"With no strength, how could they willingly support you as Pavilion Master?" Ling Chen was puzzled.

"Why not. You ask that because you don’t understand the rules of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is not elected, but inherited from generation to generation."

Upon hearing Su Mei’s explanation, Ling Chen exclaimed in surprise: "From what you’re saying, isn’t the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion just like those martial arts family clans, only passing it down to their own people."

"Exactly."

Su Mei nodded and said: "The first Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion laid down the rule that the position of Pavilion Master can only be passed to descendants, and if there are no heirs, the position can be passed to disciples. Thus, every Pavilion Master, when of age, gets married and has children, regardless of sex, they are appointed as the next Pavilion Master. I was frail and sickly when I was born, so my parents did not let me practice martial arts, but focused on various classics, widely read books, learning how to manage the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"What if someone betrays you?" Ling Chen asked: "Without the power to deter the masses, who will follow you? There are so many members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, I don’t believe that every single one of them is loyal."

"Because I have a backer, no one dares to harbor ill intentions."

"What kind of backer?"

"Although I haven’t learned martial arts, both my parents are top-notch experts. With them backing me up, who would dare to mess around. Moreover, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion venerates many elders, they uphold the rules of the Pavilion and are only loyal to the Pavilion Master. With them sitting at the helm, no one dares to challenge the authority of the Pavilion Master."

So that’s how it is.

Ling Chen finally understood. With her mom and dad supporting her from behind, indeed nobody would dare to mess around, no wonder this woman could secure the position of Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion—the Pavilion inherited family style.

Su Mei was barely in her twenties, her parents were probably only in their fifties, not to mention behind her, on top of her parents’ support, there might still be grandparents... Thinking of this, Ling Chen realized the hidden power behind this woman, it was too terrifying.

"What do your parents think about your decision?" Ling Chen asked.

"I don’t know, I haven’t asked them. After they passed the position of Pavilion Master to me, they went off to travel and seldom return, only if the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is facing a life-and-death crisis would they intervene. Being a Pavilion Master, if I rely on others for help in everything, how can I grow?"

That makes sense! Ling Chen nodded, agreeing with what Su Mei said.

After driving for several kilometers, Ling Chen driving the Maserati was about to enter the highway section. However, just at that moment, several Land Rovers suddenly burst out from the intersection behind them, following closely behind them.

This is bad!

Ling Chen looked at those Land Rovers getting closer through the rearview mirror, thinking to himself that it was bad.

Didn’t expect those guys to be so fast.

"Hold on!"

As he spoke, Ling Chen floored the accelerator, and the Maserati burst forward, the speed getting faster and faster, approaching 160 mph.

As the Maserati sped up, the several Land Rovers behind immediately increased their speed, maintaining a distance of less than fifty meters, gradually closing in.

On the streets of Jin Hai City, 160 mph was almost the limit, if he drove any faster, an accident could easily occur. Even for an experienced driver like Ling Chen, he wouldn’t dare to drive too fast on roads full of crossroads.

Seeing that the Land Rovers were getting closer in the rearview mirror, Ling Chen suddenly stepped on the brakes, controlled the car with a deft drift, and turned into an alley by the road.

The few Land Rovers behind did not expect Ling Chen to change direction, they missed the moment and rushed past the entrance of the alley. By the time they turned around and came back, the Maserati had already disappeared.

At this moment, inside the alley, Ling Chen and Su Mei sat in the driver and passenger seats, waiting patiently.

Outside the car, Ling Chen covered the entire car with an old canvas found in the trash bin, to avoid being tracked by the God Organization.

About ten minutes later, seeing no activity around, Ling Chen got out of the car, lifted the canvas from the car, and drove the Maserati out of the alley again.

Back on the open road, Ling Chen continued towards the highway entrance. Once on the highway, it would be easy to shake off the pursuers.

1:30 am.

Ling Chen finally arrived at the highway entrance driving the Maserati. Yet, before entering the toll booth, Ling Chen immediately stopped the car, frowning at both sides of the entrance.

At the entrance, there were two Land Rovers parked on each side. Clearly, the people sitting in those cars were from the God Organization. The opponents had probably anticipated their escape through the highway and had arranged manpower to guard in advance.

Four Land Rovers—it would be undoubtedly difficult to break through their defense line.

While pondering, Ling Chen saw the big lights of the four Land Rovers not far away light up; the dazzling beams converged, shining on the body of the Maserati. At the same time, those four Land Rovers gently pressed on the accelerator, coming over slowly, forming a siege.
