Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 12
After making the call, besides Rip, Jimmy also heard a woman's voice.

"Whose phone number?"

"The ranch's lawyer, he might be in a little trouble."

"Him? I remember the ranch's lawyer wasn't Linelle that bitch?"

"He was new here more than half a year ago. Okay, I have to go out, and it's time for you to go back."

The phone hangs up.

Jimmy suddenly felt regretful. He felt that he had heard something he shouldn't have heard.

In the entire Yellowstone Ranch, the only woman who dared to call Linnell a bitch was Beth, the fearless third daughter of the Dutton family.

The key point is that Beth is still with Rip so late at night. They can't be playing poker all night, right?
Half an hour later, Jimmy, who was standing on the roadside, finally waited for Rip, who was driving a pickup truck.

"Where's your car?"

Jimmy led Rip to the place where the car was hidden on the side of the road and opened the trunk.

Rip was not frightened by the fact that there was a dead person hidden inside. Instead, he took out a flashlight, shined his light on the person's bloody face, and carefully identified it for a while.

"It's Rhodes. This guy is a drug addict. His wife ran away with the child and now he lives alone outside the town."

After speaking, he turned around and looked at Jimmy who was full of nervousness and apprehension.

"How are you going to deal with it?"

Jimmy immediately swore that he never meant to kill anyone.

It was Rhodes who was high on drugs and ran into the middle of the road. Jimmy failed to stop the car and he was hit and killed.

"If he was conscious, he could definitely avoid it. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Rip interrupts Jimmy's defense.

"If you want to repent, leave it to the priest!"

"If I were you, the most important thing to do at this time is to find a place to bury this guy, and then pretend that nothing happened. Scum like Rhodes will die when he dies. As long as no one reports the crime, the local public security will Officials won’t meddle in such nosy matters.”

"Of course you can surrender, but don't expect the ranch to bail you out."

"This is your own trouble, it has nothing to do with the ranch!"

Jimmy's Adam's apple rolled hard.

Of course he could hear the threat in Rip's words.

Either solve the trouble yourself, or turn it into trouble and be solved by Rip.

"Okay, where should I bury this guy?"

he asked politely.

Rip turned off the flashlight and motioned for Jimmy to drive and follow him.

Early the next morning, Jamie and Serena were planning today's travel route in the RV, and Jamie's cell phone suddenly rang.

The call was from my father, John, hoping he would take time to go back to the ranch today.

If you don't have time, you don't have to go back yet. It's not an urgent matter anyway.

As soon as she put down her phone, Serena stepped forward and put her arms around Jamie's neck.

"I can't wait to see what your ranch looks like. Can we go back today?"

Jamie kissed Serena's forehead and agreed to his girlfriend's request.

The two drove away from the campground and continued north out of Yellowstone into Montana territory.

Although the natural scenery here is not as magnificent as Yellowstone Park, it is still very eye-catching.

The mountains, forests, grasslands, rivers on both sides of the road, and the rolling mountains in the distance spread out in front of you like a beautiful oil painting.

Serena was deeply attracted by the countless beautiful scenery and asked Jamie to stop the car many times to take photos.

“The scenery here is so beautiful!”

Serena in front of the camera suddenly turned around.

"Honey, how long until we get to your ranch?" Jamie put down the camera, shrugged and replied:

"We've actually arrived."

Serena looked shocked.

"Really?"

Jamie pointed across the North.

“Everything you can see belongs to Yellowstone Ranch land.”

These words directly refreshed Serena's understanding of the vast land of Yellowstone Ranch.

She pointed to a valley in the distance hidden among the trees, which she thought was the most scenic place.

"That's a ranch too?"

"It wasn't before, but it is now."

Jamie replied with a serious look on his face.

The river valley Serena was talking about happened to be the place that was bought by a real estate developer at the beginning of the plot of "Yellowstone" and planned to be built into a high-end vacation villa area.

The other party's idea is to develop this land first and raise the land price. In this way, the annual land tax that needs to be paid on the more than 3000 square kilometers of Huangshi Ranch will rise accordingly.

Once the Dutton family cannot afford the land tax, they have no choice but to sell the land.

Real estate developers can encroach on Yellowstone Ranch's territory bit by bit.

Now more than ten years before the plot of "Yellowstone" begins, this valley land has been purchased in advance by the wealthy John and built into a resort estate with a total area of ​​nearly 6000 acres.

Although this move will also push up land prices to a certain extent and make Yellowstone Ranch pay more land taxes every year, for the current Dutton family, this amount of money is not worth mentioning at all.

Jamie plans to take Serena to spend the night at Riverdale Manor tonight.

Serena hugged her boyfriend excitedly and kissed him hard on the face.

As soon as the two separated, they saw a group of people on horseback galloping towards them along the road.

When she got a little closer, Serena could clearly see how these people were dressed.

They were all wearing denim clothes, wearing the badge of the Montana Livestock Police, and carrying a rifle behind their backs. It looked like they were on patrol.

The leading man looked familiar.

Serena turned around and was about to confirm with Jamie, but Jamie had already raised his hand to say hello.

"Hey Lee, how did you know I was here?"

Lee Dutton got off his horse, stepped forward and gave Jamie a firm hug.

"We're on patrol and John said you might be back today."

"What you said made me so sad. I thought you came here specifically to greet your brother."

"Ryan will be very happy to see you. He has just learned to walk. I told him in the morning that his uncle is coming back."

"I just happened to prepare a small gift for him."

After Jamie finished speaking, he turned around and introduced his girlfriend Serena to Li who was standing aside.

Lee and Serena shook hands.

He had heard from Beth that Jamie's girlfriend from New York was indeed very beautiful.

"The scenery here is nice. You can ask Jamie to take some more photos for you. We have to go on patrol. See you back at the ranch."

After watching Li and the other cowboys ride away, Jamie drove further along the road for more than half an hour, and a gray and white building appeared in his field of vision.

Warehouses, garages, machine repair rooms, hangars, cowboys' residences, cowsheds, and horse pens are all built together. From a distance, it looks like a medium-sized town.

All buildings have an eye-catching Y letter symbol.

Yellowstone Ranch has arrived.
