257 I thought you had hidden some gold, silver or jewelry on it.

Dong Shengping and Xiao Lu subconsciously stood in front of Su Taotao.

Su Taotao patted their arms and motioned them to move aside.

Su Taotao glanced around coldly and asked calmly, "What do you mean?"

The road guard smiled and said, "It's nothing. The leader asked us to guard the road here. We work very hard and don't even dare to let in a fly from outside."

Su Taotao nodded: "What a foreign fly! Okay, I won't climb this mountain anymore."

Su Taotao threw the car keys to Xiaolu, covered her mouth with her hands, and whispered:

"Go to the county committee and report the situation to Secretary Zhao truthfully. If necessary, bring the armed forces here. There is a problem on this mountain."

Xiao Lu looked at her worriedly: "Why don't you go, I'll stay here."

Su Taotao glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I can beat five of you by myself."

Xiao Lu: “…”

Xiao Lu nodded at them and said, "Just wait for me. If our Director Su loses even a hair, I will never forgive you!"

Su Taotao: “…” Comrade Xiao Lu, what you said is not convincing at all.

The guard walked up to the leading man in black, turned his back to Su Taotao and the others, and whispered something in his ear.

The leading man in black glanced at Su Taotao, and after a look of surprise he became confused.

Then he swept his eyes to Dong Shengping, and finally his gaze fell on his empty sleeve.

"Excuse me, our classmate is a bit stubborn and not very useful. His job is to guard the road and prevent strangers from entering the coconut plantation. That's his duty."

Su Taotao looked at him calmly. This man had well-developed muscles all over his body and his lower body was steady. It was obvious that he was a martial artist.

Not only him, but the team he brought with him were obviously well-trained.

It is unknown how much fighting power Dong Shengping had left after he had only one arm left.

As for her, if she met a martial artist like this, she really couldn't even handle three of them.

Even in a one-on-one situation, you may need some skills to win.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Su Taotao asked.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero. The military strength of the two sides is very different. If they cannot win in a fight of arms, they can only fight with words.

The leading man in black said: "No problem. I'm the captain of the Coconut Grove Guards, Ling Cong."

Su Taotao raised her eyebrows and pointed to the mountain: "Does this coconut grove need a guard?"

Ling Cong smiled and said, "We are from the nearby Yefeng Town. We heard that there were always coconuts lost in this coconut grove, so we had nothing to do, so we took the initiative to take this job."

Ling Cong pointed at the road guard and said, "He is a regular employee with a regular job, and we are temporary workers."

Su Taotao thought to herself, why do I feel that your temporary official authority is greater than others? You are more like a leader.

Su Taotao was too lazy to argue with them, so she said directly: "That means you have no say, and we still can't go up this mountain, right?"

After hearing such blunt and disrespectful words, people with lower emotional intelligence would probably have become angry and embarrassed.

But Ling Cong was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, but I can't make the decision. Without the approval from above, you really can't go up."

Su Taotao also laughed: "If someone didn't know, they would think you hid some gold, silver or jewelry on it. It's just a few coconuts. Why do you guard it so strictly?"

Ling Cong's expression changed slightly.

If Su Taotao hadn't been staring at him, he would have missed this micro-expression.

It seems that there are other things hidden on this hill besides coconuts.

As for what good things they are, I don’t know.
