The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 228 227. Afternoon tranquility
The police station door slowly closed behind them, cutting off the commotion outside.

After Jassim was taken away, Lin Feng and Jasmine were led to the director's office by Hans.

The director is a short, middle-aged man with sharp eyes. His desk is piled with documents, but each one is arranged in an orderly manner.

He looked up at Lin Feng and Jia Simin, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

"Well done," the director said. "Jassim is an important target of our pursuit, and your actions have greatly helped the investigation."

He continued: "Letting Jassim go last time was a last resort. Hans knew that I was on the side of the herdsmen."

The director was open and honest, which made Lin Feng feel very comfortable.

Lin Feng and Jia Simin looked at each other and smiled, and the fatigue in their hearts seemed to be relieved a little at this moment.

Hans added on the side: "Now we have a grasp of the activities of the PETA organization in River Valley Town. Their target is not only the slaughterhouse or horse training farm, but also the entire livestock industry in River Valley Town."

The director was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly: "They want to send a message to the entire country through this small town. Animal agriculture is cruel and immoral and should be completely abolished."

"But my dad is right. Jassim is just a little guy. He may not know much." Jasmine was a little worried.

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I am just a rancher, and now I feel like a detective in Riverdale Town."

The director nodded, satisfied with his determination.

Hans responded, then left the director's office with Lin Feng and Jasmine.

"You may be right, Lin Feng. But we cannot ignore any possible clues. Jassim may only be a small role, but he may be able to provide us with some unknown information."

They know that the next investigation will be more difficult and dangerous, but they are ready.

"Very good. Hans, you provide them with the necessary support, and I hope to find some useful clues as soon as possible."

"You are right, young man, I think so too. But there is no evidence to show this now. The Wendleton Group cares about our land, so they use violent means to force the pastoralists to submit."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, "We need to start with Jassim and see if we can get some useful information from him."

Jasmine looked at him and smiled.

The director put his hands on his chin, thinking.

Lin Feng said: "We cannot let these people continue to destroy the peace of River Valley Town."

"Jassim may be a breakthrough." Lin Feng said.

At the door of the police station, Lin Feng and Jia Simin stopped. The bright sunshine outside was shining warmly on their bodies.

Lin Feng's words made the room fall into silence again.

"Could the PETA riot be caused by the Wendleton Group, and the Vargas Speedsters? They are probably working hard for Wendleton."

The director's eyes lit up slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Lin Feng's sensitivity.

Hans breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't expect to dig out any clues from a little guy. He is just an errand boy at best."

He paused, his eyes wandering between Lin Feng and Jasmine, "Are you willing to continue to participate? I know this is very dangerous. Neither the PETA organization nor the Vargas Speedster Party are easy to deal with. But if we can find them and Wen The Delton Group's connections, that would have a significant impact on this case."

"What to do next?" Jasmine asked.

"Maybe, but we can't give up any possible clues." Lin Feng said, "And I have an intuition that Jassim knows more than we think."

The group of them, anxious about the unknown, decided to return to the slaughterhouse first.

After all, herding cattle, raising cattle, and selling cattle are the cornerstone of life and the main business they rely on to make a living. This decision allowed Lin Feng to temporarily put other troubles behind him. Cassidy and Uncle David followed closely, while Jasmine stayed at the police station and continued working.

The horse racing career, a dream that she had devoted countless efforts to, now had to be put on hold.

Because the training ground was damaged, it was impossible to resume normal operations in a short period of time.

Ever since the Wendelton family set foot in the pastoral area, the peace in Riverdale Town has been completely broken.

The "war" between commercial capital and cowboys continues, and this is a battle in which the loser gains nothing.

Recalling himself a year ago, Lin Feng was filled with emotion.

A year ago, Lin Feng came to the pastoral area with the beautiful wish of "sunshine meadows full of cattle and sheep". Maybe the land and water nurtured the people. A year later, he has become a famous pastoral area soldier. He has to lament the changes that the living environment has brought to people. So big.

When they returned to the slaughterhouse, Charlie was pacing anxiously back and forth at the door.

Seeing that everyone had returned safely, the worry on his face instantly disappeared, and he hurriedly greeted them.

"BOSS, are you okay?" he asked with concern, "I heard that a lot of police cars came from Helena and drove directly into River Valley Town."

Lin Feng waved his hand gently, indicating that he was fine, "It's no big deal, Charlie."

He smiled and said, "We just went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Now tell me what's going on with the cow?"

Charlie immediately replied: "BOSS, all the cattle have been slaughtered. The graders are busy doing the grading work. Judging from the current situation, the problem should not be big."

Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

With the involvement of the state police, the situation in Riverdale has become increasingly confusing.

What was originally a simple riot escalated when a large number of unfavorable photos of the cowboys and articles accusing the pastoralists of overbearing behavior went viral on the Internet. It was obvious that there were forces behind it.

Although the afternoon's results were as expected, with most of the beef receiving "Excellent" ratings, which should have caused a stir, it went unnoticed in the day's dispute.

However, for Lin Feng, it is undoubtedly great news.

He only needs to wait for the quotations from the beef merchants and then select the best ones.

There is no need to worry about selling good meat, not to mention that there are too many things happening in the pastoral areas this year, and the amount of beef produced is less than in previous years.

The seal with the words "Excellent Grade" from the Ministry of Agriculture means that it will be in short supply, and the beef from Lakeside Ranch will soon become a hot commodity on the market.

Lin Feng lay on his bed at night feeling relieved.

The experience of this day was like a dream, leaving him no time to care about the remaining livestock in the pasture.

Since the two hundred cattle were transported away, the pasture has become much emptyer, and the dozens of sheep appear to be extremely active.

They occupy the living area originally belonging to cattle and become the main force of the ranch.

Lin Feng plans to purchase a new batch of calves as soon as possible after the storm is over. However, it is still unknown when the storm will subside.

At ten o'clock in the evening, he gently closed the door and entered the small world.

His tired body needs complete relaxation and recovery, and ordinary beds can no longer meet his needs.

Only with the help of the magical power of the small world can you quickly rejuvenate yourself.
