Chapter 75 Cook Me a Meal

The daily cost of the intensive care unit was alarmingly high, and the card Lin Zhou had given her was overdrawn. She brought her meager funds to the hospital to pay, only to learn that someone had already paid!

"Has it been paid?" Tian Xin asked in surprise, "May I ask who paid it?"

"A man called Lin Zhou!"

Lin Zhou!

Alas... I'm so worried!

Zhang Shuai hasn't woken up yet. When will she have to pay back Lin Zhou's money?

She called him, but before the call went through, Lin Zhouren stood in front of her.

"Why are you here?"

"Don't you owe money? I'll pay it!"

"Oh, please stop caring about it. If you keep going on like this, even if I sell myself off I still won't be able to pay you back!"

"Then don't return it, just sell you to me!" Lin Zhou said with a smile.

Tian Xin smiled and said, "You can actually make such a joke?"

When she smiled, Lin Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up. In the past few days, Tian Xin had never smiled when they were together.

"You should smile more often, it looks so good! Don't look so sad all day long!" Lin Zhou said.

"Really?" Hearing him say that, Tian Xin restrained her smile and turned her back to Lin Zhou.

She didn't know why, but the contact she had with him over the past few days had made her feel a little dependent on him. The moment she saw him just now, she was even a little happy.

"What’s wrong with you?"

“…”

Tian Xin hugged her arms and clenched her sleeves tightly.

Lin Zhou noticed this little action and immediately comforted her: "You... don't have to think about it, don't worry, I was just joking, don't mind it!"

"oh!"

Tian Xin smiled awkwardly, turned and walked towards the bench in the hospital lobby, and the two of them found an empty seat and sat down.

"Thanks to you this time, I don't know how to thank you!" said Tian Xin.

"Don't be so reserved. In times of crisis, friends will lend a hand!"

"You're putting even more pressure on me! I don't think I can pay back this money anytime soon. So I thought about it and, besides selling me, I'll grant you three requests. Just consider it as a thank you for helping me in this critical moment!"

"Three... requests?" Lin Zhou tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

"If there's anything I can do to help you, mention three!"

She had just finished speaking when she broke down again in the blink of an eye: "I don't think I can help you at all. You're so capable, why do you need my help?"

"You said it! Three!" Lin Zhou raised three fingers: "Don't break your promise!"

"Won't!"

"Then I'll take it seriously!"

"really!"

"Three requests?" Lin Zhou repeated with a smile, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth: "Three is a bit too much, one is enough, you..."

"Think it over first!"

"I haven't told you yet? Why are you so anxious?"

"Please note that this is a reasonable request. If you say something nonsense, I will refuse it."

"Then...how about cooking a meal?" Lin Zhou asked.

"Cook?"

This... is too simple. Is he serious?

"Are you sure? I'm... just a really average cook!"

Tian Xin hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that she couldn't cook, she was quite confident in her culinary skills, but Lin Zhou suddenly brought it up, and she didn't know what he liked to eat. If she couldn't cook well, she would be embarrassed!

"It doesn't matter, as long as you did it, it doesn't matter how you do it!" Lin Zhou didn't seem to care much about this issue.

"Okay, then when Zhang Shuai wakes up, I'll definitely make a nice meal to thank you! This counts as one, and there are two more?"

"I haven't decided on those two yet. I'll decide when I do!"

"good!"

The two sat in the hospital awkwardly for a while.

The intensive care unit does not require family members to accompany the patient, so Tian Xin can't do anything even if she comes!

These days, the nurse hired by Lin Zhou has been waiting for news here. If Zhang Shuai wakes up, she will be the first to know.

"Oh, yes, the problem with the brakes has been found. It's consistent with what the traffic police said, there is indeed a problem with the brake system!" said Lin Zhou.

"I don't quite understand. Please explain in detail."

"The oil pipe in the brake system of this vehicle was damaged, and the leakage of the oil pipe caused the brake oil pressure to drop, so the brake control was lost.

He must have wanted to stop the car in an emergency, but he lost control and couldn't stop. In desperation, he crashed into the rock. If he had rushed to the other side, Zhang Shuai and the car would have overturned, and the consequences would have been even more serious.

Lin Zhouwei said while gesturing, trying to explain it to Tian Xin in as much detail as possible. Tian Xin didn't know much about cars, so it was difficult for her to understand. It was also difficult for him to investigate this matter.

"How did this damage happen? Was it caused by someone deliberately destroying it?" Tian Xin asked.

"Not necessarily." Lin Zhou paused and continued:

"A broken fuel line is a maintenance issue. Logically, someone who drives for a long time like them should have noticed this problem immediately and wouldn't have encountered any unexpected problems on the road!"

Lin Zhou frowned. This was the part that puzzled him. Zhang Shuai had been driving his car quite skillfully that day, not a novice. How could he have been so unaware?

"So, I don't think this was an accident. Someone must have tampered with the car in advance, causing him to drive on the road without knowing it, and then the accident happened."

"But who would do that?"

"Who else could it be? It must be the guy he traded cars with! Why would he trade cars when everything was fine? Something happened right after he did that! There must be something wrong with this guy!"

"Who is it?" Lin Zhou turned around and asked.

"He's a new employee at the factory. He's stubborn and won't say anything no matter how hard we ask him."

"If all else fails, call the police. It's easier for the police to ask about this kind of thing. You won't find out anything by yourself!" Lin Zhou said to Tian Xin.

"Well, I've already called the police! Li Baiwan said Zhang Shuai introduced this person, saying they were some distant relative. That's complete nonsense. I've never even heard Zhang Shuai mention such a relative."

"You said this person was introduced by Zhang Shuai?" Lin Zhou asked.

"Yes! That's what Li Baiwan told me!"

"What's that man's name?" Lin Zhou suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Call me Lin Hai!" Tian Xin saw that Lin Zhou's expression was not right and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Oh! No... nothing?" Lin Zhou laughed dryly.

Oh no! How could it be Lin Hai?

Why did he want to exchange cars with Zhang Shuai?

Before he could figure it out, Tian Xin's birth interrupted him.

"Lin Zhou, have you contacted Zhang Shuai recently? Has he said anything to you?"

"Uh... I'm not that familiar with him and we haven't had much contact!" Lin Zhou said helplessly.

"He didn't tell me either. He was acting mysterious those days. When I asked him questions, he said nothing and just kept telling lies.

One day he came back with a scent on his body. I asked him if he was in love, and he said no. He lied to me and said it was the scent of flowers. But it was obviously the smell of perfume, so I didn't dare to ask him any further.

Now it seems that he must be hiding something from me!"

Tian Xin talked on and on for a long time, but Lin Zhou was still thinking about Lin Hai's question.

"Lin Zhou, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the favor? Tell me!"

"You know a lot of people. Can you help me find out what this Lin Hai did in the past? I don't believe he's some distant relative of Zhang Shuai!"

And his father hasn't come to see him recently. Zhang Shuai has been in such a big trouble, and he hasn't even shown up. How could there be such a cruel father?"

Tian Xin looked serious when she said these words. It seemed that if she didn't help her investigate, she would definitely find a way herself. If she really went to find Zhang Shuai's father, it would be a big trouble!

"Okay, I'll... help you check!"
