The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 240 239. Negotiation
After hearing the news, even Lin Feng, who had always been calm, was shocked.

He and Jasmine caught the leader of the speeding gang from the beginning. Unexpectedly, Jasmine looked more like a rogue. Maybe this was his protective color, making him look like a gangster.

No wonder Jassim was arrested the first time and was released on bail the next day.

At that time, Lin Feng still found it strange that a small role allowed the governor to use his special rights.

It was another sleepless night for Lin Feng. He and Jia Simin personally went to the abandoned mine to look for the information.

It was a USB flash drive with phone recordings saved, plus the video, both of which were enough to overturn the pattern of the entire pastoral area of ​​Hehe Valley Town.

In order to get up safely, Lin Feng put the USB flash drive in the small world on the way back and would pick it up when needed.

He had the urge to meet Jassim. His companions were massacred, so that guy must be uncomfortable.

Through Doudou's relationship, Lin Feng had a phone call with Jassim.

"Tell me you'll send the Ottos to jail and never come out."

Regarding the old McClun, he is still being treated in the hospital and the situation is not very optimistic.

Back at the camp, Lin Feng accepted the cheers like a victorious warrior.

After saying this, Lin Feng laughed twice.

It's a cloudy day, maybe it will rain.

All the livestock of Jasmine's family were driven into the cowshed, and her three brothers got up early and were busy working.

On the phone, Jassim's tone was unusually calm, but you could hear that he was shaking.

Patricia has always been very active. It is said that when the confrontation started yesterday, this guy got into a verbal argument with the state trooper on the opposite side.

Lin Feng paused for two seconds and continued: "Tell me everything you know so that the culprit can be brought to justice and avenge your cousin and his fellow speedsters."

"What I'm trying to say is, maybe Vargas deserved it, but I'm sorry about old McClun because we didn't mean to kill anyone, we just wanted to scare you cowboys."

In addition to taking care of the cattle, Hans sent all three of his sons to the "front line" and played a leading role.

Jassim on the other end of the phone was stunned, "How do you know my cousin?"

Jassim also smiled, "Alvin has admired me since he was a child. You have obtained the recording, so it is best not to let my kindness go to waste."

"My name is Alvin, right? On the way to the top of the mountain that day, he told me that you took Alvin to live on the streets since you were a child, so that kid told me that Jasim would twist off my head."

Self-defeatingly, the wrestling match also made the atmosphere less tense, or at least less tense.

At nine o'clock in the morning, someone on patrol outside called and said someone was coming in to interview Hans and a group of ranchers.

However, Patricia did not lose her words and continued to talk trash to the state troopers without feeling any shame.

At first I thought it was from the TV station, but it turned out to be Old John.

With the recording and video, it was enough to reveal the truth of the whole matter and force the Wendelton Group to abandon the Eden Project.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng woke up early from his small world. He had to go out immediately to avoid being suspected.

Lin Feng sighed and said, "I will do my best."

In the end, the two chose to wrestle in the middle zone to decide the outcome. Naturally, the outcome was a tragic defeat for Patricia. After all, the opponent was professionally trained.

To everyone's surprise, this was the first time someone from the Otto family showed up since the war started. They were always treated with a cold shoulder, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

"How many people are here?" Hans asked.

"Only John Otto."

"Let him in."

Although the content of yesterday's interview was not broadcast on the TV station, it has already spread through the Internet.

Lin Feng estimated that Old John wanted to check in and see if they really knew the "truth".

Soon, Patricia drove Old John over in a pickup truck. He looked a little tired, and compared to his previous high-spirited state, he was much older now.

Especially the eyelids, these things can't lie.

In Lin Feng's impression, once a person starts to age, his eyelids will have a noticeable drooping feeling, just like John Otto not far away in front of him.

"Long time no see, old friend." Hans said, but he did not go over to shake hands.

Old John was also very sensible. He said hello and sat in the chair directly.

Hans spread his hands and said, "Old man, you didn't come to my ranch just to be in a daze."

John smiled.

"I think we should have a frank talk." Old John spoke first, his voice a little hoarse.

Hans looked at him coldly, "What else is there to talk about between us? The Otto family has pushed the pastoralists into a desperate situation."

After speaking, Hans looked at the cowboys standing behind him.

"I know that you have mastered something now, which is enough to ruin the Otto family's reputation." Old John sighed, "But do you really know the whole truth?"

Lin Feng stood aside and quietly observed Old John's expression.

He noticed that when Old John mentioned the word "truth", his eyelids twitched slightly.

"The truth we have learned is enough." Hans said: "The Otto family will do whatever it takes for their own benefit, and they even did not hesitate to kill 27 speedsters."

Old John was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "I admit that we did do some disgraceful things. But what you don't know is that there are higher-level people behind all this."

"The Wendelton Group," Hans said.

Old John nodded, "Yes, it's them. They want to control the natural resources of the entire Montana, and our Otto family is just a pawn in their hands."

"So what." Hans sneered, "Cowboys are never afraid of any challenge."

Old John looked at Lin Feng specifically and said, "As long as you are willing, we can work together to expose the Wendelton Group's conspiracy."

The air condensed instantly.

Lin Feng admired Old John's courage. He first acknowledged the Otto family's actions, and then prepared to join forces with the cowboys to bring down Wendleton.

Hans frowned, "Why did you do this?"

"Salvation, I don't want the ranch to be destroyed in my hands."

As he spoke, Old John took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Hans, "This is a secret agreement signed between the Wendelton Group and our Otto family. You can read the contents on it."

Hans took it and glanced at it, then handed it to Lin Feng.

After Lin Feng opened it, he saw that it was densely packed with terms and numbers. One of them caught his attention: Wendelton Group promised to give the Otto family huge economic benefits and political status after the Eden Project was completed.

"This is really a bombshell."

Lin Feng continued: "But this note alone is not enough for us to believe you."

Old John nodded, "I understand your concerns. But I can assure you that I sincerely want to cooperate this time. Because I also realize that if I continue to associate with the Wendelton Group, it will only end up in the wrong direction." perish."

Lin Feng and Hans looked at each other, and both saw hesitation and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

They knew that what Old John said might be true, but it might also be another trap.

"We need time to think about it," Hans said.

"Of course." Old John stood up, "I will give you enough time. But please remember, the Wendelton Group will not sit idly by and they will take action soon. So, please make a decision as soon as possible."

After saying that, Old John turned and left.

Looking at his retreating back, Lin Feng and Hans fell into deep thought.
