Wang Shen shouted as he was hauled outside, and Sun Kui was no different.
But this time, the security guards didn't just kick them out. They dragged the two of them to the security office at the scenic area.
Before long, Ma Hong was summoned by his subordinates.
As soon as he entered the security office, he demanded, "What's going on? Who's been snooping around Qinglin Manor?"
The guard immediately pointed at Wang Shen and Sun Kui. "Those two. It's not the first time, either. We chased them off yesterday, and today they came back with some kind of document from the Bureau of Avian Research. It was issued by the people in the capital."
Ma Hong sat down and looked at Wang Shen and Sun Kui. "Who are you two? Why are you snooping around Qinglin Manor?"
Wang Shen and Sun Kui both froze at the question.
They seemed to sense that something was wrong.
"Y-you... What do you mean?" Wang Shen frowned. "We're scientists who specialize in studying birds. We just want to study those four phoenixes."
Ma Hong replied coldly, "The appearance of those four phoenixes has given people an opportunity to exploit the situation. They really will take advantage of anything."
"Too bad you seem to have underestimated us. That kind of trick won't work on us."
Sun Kui felt even more uneasy. He hurriedly said, "What exactly do you mean? Have you misunderstood something? We really are bird experts."
Ma Hong smiled. "You're very good actors. With that bewildered, clueless act, even those celebrities would have to admit defeat. I'm curious: with acting skills like yours, why not become actors? You might make more money that way. Why resort to this kind of sabotage?"
"What sabotage?" Wang Shen was on the verge of breaking down.
