Chapter 366: Invitation? Kidnapping?

Gong Tianhao said that he would invite two fruit tree experts over, and they arrived that afternoon.
They were brought over by helicopter.
These two fruit tree experts were actually unwilling to come. However, their superiors ordered them to come to this mountain village because they needed their help.
It felt like a joke. Why would they be ‘invited’ to help a poor mountain village? Did this mean they would be hauled over every time a mountain village wanted to start a fruit farm? It was impossible!
After they were notified, they were not given any chance to refuse. They were directly escorted onto the plane and did not even have the chance to say goodbye to their families.
This really made them angry.
On the helicopter, Yu Jiadong looked at the cold man in black beside him with a dark expression. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Where are you taking us? Why are you treating us like criminals? Tell me, who is your Boss?”
Another man in his fifties, Ji Yanghua, also spoke indignantly, “You basically kidnapped us. This is too lawless. I will sue you and your Boss.”
One of the men in black, Yue Qilin, smiled and said, “Professor Yu, Professor Ji, please calm down. It’s our fault for taking you away like that. Our Boss just wants to invite you to get your help.”
The two professors were unwilling to accept the apology.
Professor Yu was very angry and said loudly, “Is this how you invite someone? This is blatant kidnapping!” He added, “Who is your Boss? Why did he kidnap us?
“Don’t you know how anxious our family members will be when we go missing for no reason? They will definitely call the police. Our departments will worry if they can’t find us too.”
Yue Qilin smiled and said, “Professors, don’t worry. When we invited you to board the plane, we had already informed your department superiors and your families.
“They know that you’ve accepted an urgent mission and need to go on a business trip immediately, so there’s no time for you to say goodbye. If you’re worried, you can call your family or your departments when you get off the plane.”
The two professors,
“As for the identity of our Boss, you’ll know when you arrive.” Yue Qilin said, “However, our master has instructed that after you know his identity, you must keep it a secret. He still has something to do there. He doesn’t like to reveal his identity and cause unnecessary trouble.”
The two professors furrowed their brows tightly. After what Que Qilin said, they understood this Boss came from extraordinary background. They had power and influence. Or else, the Boss couldn’t just fire off a notice, and the professors were instantly captured to this mountain village.
The two professors were silent for a moment.
Then, Professor Yu said, “Okay, we can discuss this further when we get there.” They were proud, but many times, they knew they had to bow before absolute power.
Yue Qilin said with a mysterious smile, “Professors, there’s no need to worry. I can promise you that you won’t regret this trip. This is a very mysterious place.”
Plus, they had Auntie Chen. No one was able to be mad after tasting Auntie Chen’s cooking.
The two professors,
Could they believe this person’s words? This was someone who kidnapped them off the streets.
“Humph!” The two professors snorted and said, “We’ll see.”
More than an hour later, they reached their destination.
Professor Yu looked down from the plane and soon noticed a few hills that were being developed. He asked curiously, “Those are the hills that will be tumed into fruit tree farms?”
Yue Qilin nodded and replied, “Yes.”
Then, he said to the two professors, “Professors, we’ve reached our destination. We need to prepare to get off the plane.”
The two professors temporarily suppressed the anger in their hearts and sized up the mountain village on the plane. They felt that this mountain village was somewhat different.
As for what was different, they might need to investigate.
After the few of them got off the plane, Professor Yu immediately asked with a dark face, “Now, can you tell us who your master is?”
Yue Qilin smiled and said, “Professor Yu, don’t worry. I’ll take the two of you to meet my master now.”
With that, Yue Qilin led them to the Gong family’s courtyard.
After arriving at the Gong family’s house, Yue Qilin led them in.
However, the moment they entered the courtyard and noticed the old man watering the flowers in the courtyard, the two professors’ expressions immediately became dumbfounded.
“Gong… Gong…”
