The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 241 Chapter 240. The truth comes out
John Otto wanted to keep the land, so he planned to join forces with other ranchers to bring down the Wendleton family's resort project in Montana.

After all, Old John holds more direct evidence that can give Wendelton a fatal blow.

This means that in exchange, the video taken by Lin Feng cannot be released to the public.

Old John wanted to betray his business partners to protect himself, which was undoubtedly a risky move.

Because the Wendelton Group has a close relationship with the governor, reporting the former would mean the governor's downfall as well.

But if that video is released to the public, the Otto family will definitely be the most unlucky. They will most likely be wiped off the map of River Valley Town, and the pastoral land will be reshuffled.

Before leaving, Old John told Lin Feng that the Wendelton family had set its sights on the land at Lakeside Ranch, and without him, Lin Feng would not be able to keep it.

Just as they were hesitating, the cowboy guarding the perimeter called and said that the TV station's broadcast truck had arrived and asked if they could be let in.

This time, Montana TV station specially arranged a broadcast vehicle. It seems that the state government no longer has the energy to continue to suppress people from knowing the truth.

"Let them come in." After Hans finished speaking, he looked back at Lin Feng.

Although he looks calm on the outside, his clenched fists reveal inner anxiety.

He knew that his father's plan was at a critical juncture, and the outcome was fraught with uncertainty.

The atmosphere in the manor house at Otto Ranch was so tense that it could almost freeze into ice.

The six state police officers who already knew the truth also cast their gazes. They probably wanted to know what the herdsman would choose.

Her eyes wandered between her husband and the TV screen, filled with worry and uneasiness.

It's still Ms. Meira, but she changed into a professional outfit today and looks very formal.

The news program broadcasts live to the entire state of Montana, and there are probably many people waiting in front of the TV.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. This decision will affect many people, including himself.

Bennett stood by the window, his back to the room, looking through the glass toward the distant valley.

At the same time, the TV station's broadcast truck drove in under the escort of Patricia.

Yet centralization only takes five minutes.

The cigar in his hand was burned out, but he seemed to have forgotten its existence, letting the ashes fall on the exquisite carpet.

After calls were made to various camps, everyone quickly made their own judgment, and as the wireless signal reached the courtyard of Grando Ranch.

"We have about fifteen minutes to think about whether to release the video." He whispered.

The ranchers present were looking at him, which was a sign of pressure and prestige.

Adrian from the Animal Husbandry Committee quickly tallied up the results and presented them to Lin Feng.

Among them were Lin Feng's parents, the couple, and Catherine and Jessica. Little Elsa was playing with the golden apple in the living room, showing no interest in what was going on.

"All cowboys can participate in the vote by show of hands." Lin Feng said: "This is the common interest of the pastoral area, and I should not have the final say. Therefore, we vote democratically now."

Old John was sitting on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the TV screen, and the wrinkles on his face looked even deeper under the gloomy light.

John's wife, Marianne, sat next to him, her hands clasped together as if in prayer.

Knowing that the family's honor and wealth are hanging by a thread, the decision-making power of all this is now in the hands of the herdsmen.

On TV, Meira was introducing the history and culture of the pastoral area, as well as the herders' deep feelings for the land.

Her words revealed respect and understanding for the herdsmen, which made Old John feel a little uneasy.

Old John was worried that Meira would lead public opinion to support the herdsmen, which would be extremely detrimental to his plan.

On the TV screen, Meira's voice suddenly became serious. She turned to Lin Feng beside her, and the camera switched accordingly, focusing on the young rancher.

"Mr. Lin Feng, we learned that you have a video about the truth about the massacre of 27 motorcycle gang members. This video may have a major impact on the resort project that is being promoted in Montana. Do you plan to use it today?" Announce this video during the live broadcast?”

This question was like a bombshell, instantly detonating the entire atmosphere.

Old John's pupils shrank suddenly, and he straightened up suddenly, staring at Lin Feng on the TV screen.

On the other side of the TV, Lin Feng took a deep breath and felt the nervous and expectant eyes of the ranchers around him.

It was a decision the Cowboys had five minutes to make.

"Yes, Ms. Meira." Lin Feng said solemnly: "I think the public has the right to know the truth. No matter who this truth will affect, we should let it be exposed in the sun."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Meira.

Old John felt dizzy, as if he saw his business empire collapse in an instant.

He stood up, but almost fell down because he stood up too hard. Marianne quickly supported her husband, her own face also turned pale.

Bennett still had his back to the room, but his fists were clenched tighter. He knew that his father's plan had completely failed.

On the TV, Meira took the phone and pointed the screen at the camera.

Under the cover of night, the entire process of Bennett shooting 27 motorcycle gangsters was completely recorded.

At this time, Bennett, who was staring at the TV fiercely, felt that his mind was blank.

"How could they have this? What son of a bitch recorded this video!"

Bennett knew he was in for a disaster and smashed everything on the table to pieces!

My wife, who had just come downstairs, was crying silently, unable to bear such a blow.

She always thought that her family was noble and glorious, but now she discovered that the Otto family was related to such a crime, and the perpetrator was actually her husband.

Shame and despair welled up in my heart.

Bennett went into a frenzy of rage.

Growling and smashing things as if to destroy the entire room.

He could not accept that he was recorded on such a video, nor could he accept that his crimes were made public.

He knew that his future was ruined, that he would be the target of public criticism and be despised.

Old John was still smoking and said nothing.

On the other side of the TV, Lin Feng felt inexplicably relaxed.

As the video played, the entire state of Montana was in shock and outrage.

People couldn't believe that such a cruel and cold-blooded crime could happen in their state.

What is even more shocking is that this crime is actually related to the powerful Otto family.

Ms. Mela continued to explain on the TV, her voice was serious and powerful: "Dear viewers, what you are seeing now is the live video of Bennett, a member of the Otto family, shooting 27 motorcycle gangs. This crime is so cruel. "It shocks every one of us. We must let the public know the truth and let justice be done."

As Meira explained, the scene of Bennett's murder appeared on the TV screen again.

Those bloody and violent scenes make everyone who watches feel heart palpitations.
