After a little quick thought, Zhaodi immediately ran out of the ward with the thermos.

After leaving the ward, she caught a glimpse of the old man standing in front of the window at the end of the corridor, with his back to her. He was talking in a low voice to the person on the other end of the phone, nodding from time to time.

Because the distance was too far, Zhaodi couldn't hear what the other party was saying.

She noticed that the old man was standing next to the stairs, so she suddenly had an idea.

She immediately turned back to the ward, put down the thermos, picked up her handbag and walked out the door. Then, she slowed down her pace and tiptoed towards the old man...

Soon, she approached the old man quietly, and the distance between them was no more than one meter.

The old man's voice on the phone floated clearly into her ears:

"Xiao Wang, thank you. I understand. I won't believe anything that liar says."

"I'm in the hospital these days and can't leave. How about we find a place and arrange a lawyer to talk after I'm discharged..."

Just as the old man finished saying this, he turned around inadvertently and found Zhaodi standing behind him.

"Xiao Zhang, when did you come?"

The old man looked at Zhang Zhaodi who suddenly appeared with a nervous expression, and immediately said to the phone, "I'm hanging up first. We'll talk later."

Zhaodi pretended to be just passing by and replied with a smile:

"I just came here. I was going to ask Sister Sun to advance the medical expenses. Uncle Pan, please go back to the ward quickly. It's very windy here. Be careful not to catch a cold..."

Although Zhaodi appeared calm on the surface, her heart was beating fast with nervousness.

As she spoke, she walked forward to close the window, turned around and walked to the stairs, stopped, turned around and waved at the old man with a smile:

"I'll be back soon. Oh, and by the way, I washed the blueberries and put them on the bedside table. Eat more. They're good for your heart. That's what the experts on TV said."

The old man politely replied, "Okay, okay, Xiao Zhang, go ahead and do your work."

Zhaodi walked a few steps, then stopped and turned to ask, "Uncle Pan, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll buy it for you on my way back."

"Xiao Zhang, I just had breakfast. Don't worry about me. We'll talk later."

"Okay, I understand. Please go back to the ward immediately. The doctor said you need to stay in bed and rest."

Zhaodi said a word of concern, then turned around and ran downstairs.

After leaving the hospital building, she was still nervous.

The moment the old man suddenly turned around, she was really scared. She didn't know whether he was suspicious of her.

Fortunately, she performed stably on the spot and did not reveal any flaws.

After calming down, she found a quiet place and called Sun Xue.

"Zhaodi, is there a situation?" Sun Xue asked anxiously.

"Nonsense, if I take action, there must be something going on!" Zhaodi was very proud.

"Okay, okay, this matter still depends on you." Sun Xue flattered.

She didn't expect that in just two days, news would come from Zhaodi.

"Come out right away and we'll meet and talk."

Ten minutes later, Sun Xue came hurriedly.

Zhaodi took Sun Xue's arm, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice:

"I don't know who the old man was secretly contacting. I overheard a few words and he almost found out."

"What did he say on the phone?"

Zhaodi scratched her head and blinked, saying, "Let me think about it... I remember now. The other party's surname seems to be Wang. He said he wouldn't believe a liar, and the liar he was talking about must be you. Also, he said that when he is discharged from the hospital, he will arrange for the other party and the lawyer to find a place to talk..."

"Is there anything else?" Sun Xue asked anxiously.

"No, he was on the phone at the stairs, and that's what I heard. Then he turned around and found me standing behind him, and then he hung up immediately."

"Zhaodi, did he suspect you were eavesdropping?"

"He looked a little nervous when he noticed me and asked me when I got behind him. I told him I happened to be passing by on my way to see you, so he probably... didn't suspect anything."

Sun Xue muttered to herself, "Wang? Who else could it be?"

Zhaodi asked, "When can he be discharged from the hospital?"

"It should be in the next one or two days, Zhaodi. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must behave well in front of him in the next few days and win his trust."

Zhaodi said confidently, "Don't worry, I can feel that he has a very good impression of me. By the way, he also called you a big liar in front of me, saying that his son was harmed by you. He and I are on the same front now. I came here today to ask you for an advance on my salary..."

Zhaodi told Sun Xue what happened, and she chuckled, "Zhaodi, you really have a way."

The two chatted briefly and then separated immediately.

When Zhaodi returned to the ward, the old man was lying on the bed eating blueberries.

Seeing Zhaodi come in, he stood up and asked anxiously, "Did I give you the money?"

Zhaodi said aggrievedly, "I did give it to him, but... we had a big fight."

She immediately shook her head with a look of disdain on her face. "Uncle Pan, you're right. That woman looks honest, but she's actually quite cunning. She refused to give it to me. If I hadn't said a few words to her, she might have denied it. She even boasted in front of me that she was the boss. I've never seen a boss like that..."

Zhaodi cursed and complained.

Then, he observed the old man's reaction without any expression...

As expected, Zhaodi's words won the old man's sympathy, and he angrily cursed:

"I told you, she is a liar and my son fell into her trap."

Zhaodi advised the old man, "Such a liar is so despicable. Uncle Pan, Uncle Pan is in a coma. You must keep a close eye on her. She must be responsible for all the medical expenses, nursing fees, and later rehabilitation expenses."

The old man said decisively, "Of course, don't worry, I've already reported the case. She can't get away. The case is still under investigation. If she wants to leave Gaozhou City, she has to report to the Public Security Bureau. Besides, she can't leave Gaozhou City now."

Zhaodi said happily, "That's good, that's good."

Suddenly the old man realized that he had let something slip, and he said nervously:

"Xiao Zhang, you must never tell anyone what I just said to you."

Zhaodi nodded solemnly in agreement, "Don't worry, I hate gossipmongering."

She said sincerely, "Uncle Pan, I didn't expect so many things to happen in your family. Don't worry too much. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. Your uncle hasn't woken up yet, so you must not fall down. Although I have a carefree personality, I am a warm-hearted person by nature. If you need my help, just tell me. Just treat me as your granddaughter..."

Zhaodi's words were so heartfelt that the old man was deeply moved.

"Xiao Zhang, when I'm discharged from the hospital, I want you to come over and help take care of my son. I wonder if you're willing to do that?"

Zhaodi was secretly delighted. Isn't this exactly what she wanted? Without the slightest hesitation, she readily agreed:

"Of course I will! We are so destined to be together. Even if you don't pay me, I'm willing to help you."
