No.201 Borrowing a barn
At dinner, CapitaLand's partner Lucas also appeared in the restaurant, and Lucas also showed great interest in this young and rich Chinese who suddenly appeared and was willing to spend a lot of dollars to buy a truck, pulling Lin Cheng to ask east and west.
Today's dinner was made by Tessa, and considering the family's somewhat strapped living situation, the dinner was far from sumptuous, with only a piece of native Texas-style grilled steak per person, a plate of spaghetti with bolognese, a few fried sausages, and plenty of butter toast.
However, for a Chinese, the richness of the food is secondary, as long as the taste of the food is delicious.
The only problem is that not only Lucas, Tessa also seems to be very interested in Lin Cheng, even at the dinner table, she will look at Lin Cheng with the eyes like watching a giant panda, which also makes the gaze from Lin Cheng next to him look very unkind.
β...... I'm done eating, Cade, I took the key to the barn, by the way, do you mind if I park the car in the barn too? β
Under Cade's sharp gaze, Lin Cheng simply and rudely solved the leftovers on the plate in front of him, picked up the key to the barn door that Cade put aside and walked outside, and when he left, he didn't forget to turn around and ask Cade for permission.
"Yes, but it's a bit of a mess in the barn, and if you want to park your car in it, you'll have to figure out how to clean it up yourself."
For the sake of the dollar, CapitaLand has nothing to do.
After getting permission, Lin Cheng had a satisfied smile on his face, and then opened the door and walked out.
"Hey, man, did that Chinese really pay $10,000 for a scrap truck?"
As soon as Lin Cheng left, Lucas could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart, and hurriedly asked, even Tessa put down the dinner in her hand, she didn't know the reason why Lin Cheng appeared here, until Lucas opened his mouth, she knew that Lin Cheng was coming for the truck that her father collected.
β...... Yes, he gave me a debit card with $10,000 to take out at any time. β
Cade hesitated, but finally chose to confess.
"My God, $10,000, we only spent $200 on that car, fifty times the profit!"
Although he had long heard Cade say that he sold the scrapped truck to the Chinese, when Lucas really heard Cade say that number, his heart still couldn't help beating fiercely, after all, it was ten thousand dollars.
Lucas couldn't believe such a huge amount, because $10,000 was a very large amount for an ordinary person like them, which could not only allow CapitaLand to repay the bank loan, pay his living expenses, and even pay his salary.
Outside the door, Lin Cheng's footsteps did not stop, but returned directly to the door and opened the door of the ambulance.
"How's it going, Lin?"
The sound of an ambulance sounded in the carriage, and it sounded a little anxious.
"Well, don't worry, ambulance, it's no problem anymore, Cade is friendly and generous, not only willing to sell the truck, but even allowing us to use his barn alone, if we move fast, they may not even notice what's going on."
Lin Cheng smiled, then skillfully lit the fire, drove the ambulance around the house of the Cade family, came to the barn door, and opened the barn door with the key that Cade gave him, and suddenly there was a smell in his face, like old wood, damp straw and engine oil.
The interior of the barn was huge and messy, full of scrapped equipment that CapitaLand had collected from the outside, as well as a lot of machinery for repair, tools, sandblasting machines, lathes, and enclosed paint boxes for painting.
Among them, Lin Cheng even saw a simple assembled robot, standing in front of a drawing board, gently drawing patterns on the drawing board with a paintbrush, but it didn't seem to know that the paint on the brush had dried up, and it was just drawing patterns repeatedly.
And then there was the biggest, and at the same time the most conspicuous old Flenliner FLT8664 flat-headed old truck parked in the center of the barn, with a rusty square front, half of the square glass, and countless bullet holes, large and small, and extremely embarrassed.
"Optimus Prime, old manβwhat have you been through?"
After entering the barn, the ambulance could no longer calm down, and hurriedly began to deform, Lin Cheng reacted quickly, in order to prevent being seen by the outside, he quickly closed the barn door, and even locked the barn door tightly, which was relieved.
The ambulance reverted back to its Autobot form and crouched down beside Optimus Prime, its metal face showing a nervous expression, and its left hand retracted, turning into a scanning device, emitting a light blue light curtain that carefully scanned Optimus Prime's body.
"How's it going?"
After confirming that the barn door was locked, Lin Cheng slowly walked to the front of Optimus Prime's car and looked at the ambulance.
"Not so optimistic, Optimus Prime's injuries are too severe, and a lot of broken shrapnel has cut off the energy channel of its fire - oh, the fire is our heart, hidden in the engine of our camouflaged car, and the previous confinement was intended to destroy my fire to kill me."
As if realizing that Lin Cheng might not know what the fire was, the ambulance immediately clicked on his chest and explained.
"Optimus Prime is in a very bad situation right now, if the energy supply of Tinder can't be supplied, it will always be unconscious, so it will rust to this point in a short period of time, and if we don't find it, Optimus Prime may be destroyed by humans as a scrapped car. β
After a pause, the ambulance continued to explain.
"So, what now?"
Lin Cheng gently tapped on Optimus Prime's rusty iron sheet and asked.
"I'll have surgery right away, but I also need your help, Optimus Prime has too much shrapnel and shell casings in his body to clean out, my hands are not delicate enough, I need you to help me clean up those debris so that I can repair Optimus Prime's injuries."
"It's not a big problem, let's do it."
In the federal secret service, Lin Cheng also studied the subject of basic vehicle maintenance, and after hearing the ambulance's explanation, he immediately took off his blazer, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, reached out and pulled open the grille at the front of the truck, and then was stunned.
The engine area of the entire front of the truck was already full of dust, and there were traces of battle everywhere, not to mention that there was no way to start, and even made people feel a little numb, so he could only find a high-power hair dryer from the side of CapitaLand and blow it into the engine.
Then, this idiot blew himself into disgrace, and he couldn't do it.
