The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 40 40. Conflict: Lieutenant Colonel Grando

"Jesus, what's wrong?"

Jasmine was a little scared, she was a girl after all.

Lin Feng suddenly understood and remembered what his uncle had told him before he left.

He found Jasmine with the faint light reflected from the ice and held her hand.

"The power in this area will be cut off at ten o'clock in the evening, I actually forgot."

The moment their hands touched, Jasmine's heart calmed down.

"It doesn't matter, I had fun anyway."

The two held hands and went to the sidelines to find their mobile phones and turned on the flashlight to make the surroundings brighter.

Jasmine's fingers were slender and warm and soft.

Lin Feng's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. At this time, the brain would involuntarily secrete dopamine and adrenaline.

Sitting on the sidelines, neither of them seemed to have any intention of leaving, and wanted to continue to maintain the emotion at the moment.

Jasmine slowly snuggled over, and Lin Feng tried to put his arm around her shoulders.

Not being rejected, Lin Feng used some strength to bring the two of them closer.

"Jasmine, what do you think of me?" he asked.

"Integrity, fun, romantic, loving, and a little bit mean-spirited."

"Bad-hearted? Why do you say that?"

"From the moment you went up the stairs, you deliberately looked for opportunities to have physical contact with me. Do you think I don't know?"

When she said this, Jasmine turned her head, and there was only about twenty or thirty centimeters between their eyes.

Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed because the girl had seen through his little thoughts, and Jasmine burst into laughter.

He spread his hands and said, "I just think you are beautiful and cute, so I want to spend some time with you. Is that bad?"

"No, not at all."

Jasmine put away her smile and looked at his face seriously.

When their eyes met, Lin Feng laughed naively, and Jia Simin also laughed.

"Oh my God, what time is it?"

Jasmine glanced at the phone screen.

"how?"

"I promised my parents that I would go home early, but it doesn't matter if it's later. I will explain to them." Jasmine raised her head and looked at him gently again, "Lin, I have a question, please don't tell me lie."

"it is good."

The sudden seriousness made Lin Feng a little nervous.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Lin Feng was stunned when asked, "What? Why do you ask that?"

"Men think that having multiple girlfriends at the same time will make them look very capable. This is the case with some pastoral boys. So, tell me honestly, do you have a girlfriend?"

"I'm not them, I'm Lin Feng."

His gaze made Jasmine trustworthy.

"Jasmine, I am willing to enter your heart."

A moment of silence.

"Welcome to my world, Lin."

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Jasmine took the initiative to close her eyes.

……

On the way back, not long after the car started, Jasmine fell asleep wearing a windbreaker.

Listening to the radio music and recalling the entire evening, Lin Feng was in a happy mood. This was the happiest time in his life, bar none.

The journey home was much smoother than when we came here, and the snow had stopped long ago.

The sky is full of stars. I remember that this kind of scene can only be seen in my hometown when I was a child, which shows that the level of air pollution is very low.

The light can shine very far, and the temperature outside is only a few degrees, but it doesn't prevent the car from being warm.

It was just the occasional faint green light spots he saw on both sides of the road that made his hair stand on end. Those should be coyotes.

By subspecies, Montana's is a mountain coyote.

The Mossberg 500 is placed at the door of the small world, and you can reach it when you open the door.

The Chevrolet drove into the Grando Ranch, passing a large piece of land before that, which was the territory of the Otto family.

The family's large business made people jealous, and they even saw their helicopter patrolling at night.

In comparison, Grando Ranch here is much quieter, with only the big house showing light. "are you home yet?"

Jasmine rubbed her eyes and asked softly.

Not far away, a car suddenly turned on its headlights, which made the two of them unable to open their eyes.

"Fake, who is so incompetent?"

"It's my dad."

"Your dad?"

The car parked about five meters behind them was a Jeep.

An old man with muscles all over his body came down, looking like a boxing coach.

Lin Feng asked in surprise: "Is this your father?"

Jasmine curled her lips, "He used to serve at an air force base in Virginia, so he always thought he was still Lieutenant Colonel Grando."

Lin Feng asked jokingly: "Will he kill the boy you secretly dated?"

Jasmine's father didn't seem very happy. When he got out of the car, he habitually touched the pistol on his waist.

"Hello, Teresa!"

Hans Grando shouted at the top of his lungs as he walked.

Teresa?

Lin Feng was confused.

Jasmine whispered, "I told my dad to go to Teresa's house to decorate the Christmas tree, and she was the one who picked me up from home. Logically speaking, Teresa should be the one to take me home."

Obviously old Hans knew that it was not Theresa who sent his daughter home, and she did not go to decorate the Christmas tree tonight, but to go on a date.

Lin Feng was about to get out of the car, but Jasmine stopped him and said, "Lin, you drive away immediately and I will handle it."

Lin Feng shook his head. His father taught him since childhood not to run away from problems and to face them bravely.

Besides, he had already fallen in love with Jasmine without doing anything wrong.

Lin Feng reached out and touched Jasmine's cheek, telling her it didn't matter, he would take care of everything.

Then he opened the door and got out of the car.

"Hello, Mr. Grando."

He straightened his collar to look more presentable.

Old Hans stopped and looked at Lin Feng with narrowed eyes.

He was several meters away, but he could still feel his sharp gaze.

"I know you, Lin Feng from Lakeside Ranch. I voted in favor of the discussion about Frank's will, but that doesn't mean you can date my daughter!"

Jasmine followed, "I did it on my own initiative and it has nothing to do with Lin."

Old Hans ignored her and continued to speak, "My daughter never lies to me, but she lied tonight for you."

Jasmine ran over and stood between the two of them, "He is different from others."

"Jasmine, I'm talking to this man. Let him answer me. Don't hide behind women."

Lin Feng immediately stood in front and faced Old Hans.

Old Hans said mockingly, "You are very courageous."

"Sir, I think you have misunderstood me. Maybe you hate pastoral boys, but I am not them and I am very different from them."

"No need to explain, just get in the car and follow me into the house. I have a few questions for you."

After saying this, Old Hans got on the jeep without looking back, more like giving an order.

After getting on the bus, I found another person, who looked to be in his thirties and had a friendly expression.

"Hi, my name is Matthew."

He held out his hand.

Lin Feng held it and said, "Lin Feng."

The old Hans who was driving raised a finger and said, "Matthew, this is the guy who kidnapped your sister late at night. There is no need to be too polite to him. Pastoral people never like to be polite."

Matthew spread his hands and made an innocent expression.

Lin Feng found a shotgun in the trunk, which was exactly what he had been studying recently.

"Winchester M1887?" Lin Feng said.

Old Hans laughed dryly and said, "Boy, you are quite knowledgeable."

Lin Feng responded: "I have a Mossberg 500, which is very powerful. It shattered the windshields of two cars and a reflector at close range."

Old Hans smiled again, looked back at him and said nothing this time.
