"You! You! You! You! Weren't you dead?!"

"Xiao Zhou! Don't talk nonsense!"

One of Xu Pengfei's colleagues pointed at Lin Zhao and shouted in horror, and the leader next to him immediately slapped his hand down.

But in reality, everyone who came was terrified.

The person in front of me is actually Xu Pengfei's wife, Lin Zhao?

Wasn't she dead?!

The funeral has already been held.

Everyone in their workplace gave them a favor!

"This...this..."

His colleagues hesitated and dared not approach, but Lin Zhao spoke first.

"It's me, I'm Xu Pengfei's wife. I'm back. Didn't he tell you?"

"They're back?! Who's back...?"

The colleagues prayed silently, hoping it wasn't the kind of ghost that came back to haunt them!

"Oh! You mean this!" Lin Zhao seemed to understand their concerns, and patted and pinched his arms left and right. "I'm fine, I'm back, I'm not dead!"

The colleagues finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“But…” someone didn’t understand, “what about a while ago…”

"Hey! That was Xu Pengfei trying to defraud insurance and collect money from you as gifts!" Lin Zhao waved his hand, as if nothing had happened.

"???"

"Insurance fraud?"

"Trying to gain a favor?!"

The colleagues were stunned.

Who would believe that Lin Zhao would reveal Xu Pengfei's tricks like that? Aren't they husband and wife?

If Xu Pengfei was really doing this to scam money, then wouldn't Lin Zhao also be involved...?

Everyone turned to look at Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao was completely open and honest, inviting everyone to sit down and offering them fruit, as if the people lying in the hospital bed weren't her own husband and mother-in-law.

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "Yes, it's just to scam you out of your money for gifts and favors. Xu Pengfei is very shrewd. He and his mother are working together to keep this a secret from me."

Lin Zhao pulled over a bespectacled man who looked like a leader. "Is this Director Zhang? Look, I recognized you at a glance! It's all thanks to my son Xu Pengfei who talks about you every day when he comes home. He says you're an intellectual, with four eyes and eight hundred schemes, always trying to climb up by stepping on everyone else, just like a toad, hahaha."

"???" At first, Director Zhang thought there was nothing wrong with it, but the more he listened, the more something seemed off.

Lin Zhao pressed Director Zhang down to sit, then turned and handed an apple to the middle-aged woman next to him. "Here, eat up, don't be shy! You must be Sister Zhao from the office, right? Well, you're the only one in our office who still has a good figure. You weigh over 200 pounds and are always squeezed into tight skirts. Xu Pengfei says he can't eat if he looks at you even once! That's great, you've helped my husband Xu lose weight!"

Sister Zhao stood there dumbfounded, holding the apple, her lips twitching. "What...what did he say?"

"You're a fat pig who only knows how to eat and doesn't know how to work," Lin Zhao said innocently, shoving another banana into her hand.

"Pah! Who are you calling names!" Sister Zhao threw the fruit in her hand away.

Lin Zhao shrugged. "How could it be me who scolded you? I've never even met you. It must have been Xu Pengfei who said it."

"you!"

Sister Zhao rushed forward to hit Lin Zhao, and several young colleagues quickly came to break up the fight.

"Sister Zhao! No! Don't hit me! Let's talk this out!"

Lin Zhao chuckled to himself, still launching into a tirade, "Yeah, let's talk this out. Look how sensible Xiao Li is. He's always flattering everyone at work. Everyone's a good older sister or a good older brother to him."

Xiao Li, who was still blocking Sister Zhao's way: "???"

"Why don't you learn from Xiao Hu? He's a quiet, unassuming guy who never says a word, but behind everyone's back, he's been flirting with countless people. He saves his words for whispering in her ear at night. Isn't that much better than resorting to physical violence?" Lin Zhao continued.

Xiao Hu, who had initially been observing the situation from the sidelines with a detached, indifferent attitude, was speechless.

"Hehe, thank you so much for taking the time to visit my husband! He often tells me that everyone in your workplace is rich but foolish, and it turns out it's true!"

"Don't worry, Xu Pengfei will definitely go back to work once he's fully recovered!"

"He told me he's been eyeing Director Zhang's position for a long time!"

"And Xiao Li and Xiao Hu, Xu Pengfei said he also hopes you can flatter him and warm his bed!"

"Ideally, you'd be someone who can flatter him every day, serving him tea and water, right, Sister Zhao?"

"he he he he he……"

Lin Zhao continued his indiscriminate attacks, and several colleagues from the unit became so angry that their faces turned red and their necks bulged. In the end, they gave up, threw the gifts they were carrying at Xu Pengfei, and turned to leave.

Do you still want to go back to work?

Still eyeing the director's position?

Even if someone works within the system, they have a hundred ways to make him lose his job!

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Lin Zhao clapped his hands, sat back down on the chair in the ward, and casually picked up an apple and started taking big bites.

It's fun.

Xu Pengfei's most prized job is gone. Will he be even happier when he wakes up?

"Oh right! We should make their joy even greater!"

Suddenly, Lin Zhao remembered something and abruptly jumped up from her chair. She took out Xu Pengfei's and Wan Guizhi's cell phones and transferred all their savings into one account.

I'll take some time tomorrow to change the property owner, and I might as well get a divorce too. Anyway, with so much technology, Xu Pengfei won't need to get involved.

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and then walked outside.

She wanted to leave Xu Pengfei completely penniless, penniless, and jobless, so that no one would care even if he died.

Before long, Lin Zhao arrived at the door of an ordinary family in an ordinary residential community. As soon as he got close to the door, he heard cheerful laughter coming from inside.

Lin Zhao pursed her lips. To be honest, she didn't really like children.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who is it?"

The door opened with a click, and an elderly man with gray hair stood behind it. He looked at Lin Zhao, first stunned, then his expression changed from shock to surprise.

"Who?"

Another gentle female voice came from inside the house, and she appeared in Lin Zhao's field of vision, shuffling in slippers.

Like the man, joy radiated from her face.

"Look at yourself! Look at my reflection!"

Those two were the original owner's parents. When they saw Lin Zhao, after recovering from their surprise, they rushed over and hugged Lin Zhao with great joy.

"Zhao Zhao! You...you're back!"

"Oh my god! You're not dead! It really is you!"

Lin's parents burst into tears after saying only a few words. Lin's mother, in particular, wiped away her tears and pulled Lin Zhao to look him over from all angles. After a thorough examination, she laughed and cried at the same time.

"Dad, Mom, it's me. I'm not dead. I'm back." Although Lin Zhao was a little unaccustomed to it, she still dutifully played the role of the Lin family's daughter.

She put her arm around Mr. and Mrs. Lin and led them inside, saying, "Let's go inside first."

"Okay! Let's go home! Let's go home!" Lin's father quickly closed the door.

Lin's mother called out into the house, "My little girls! Come out quickly! Mommy's home!"

"Mommy mommy!"

Several blobs of pink color burst out. The child didn't understand what life and death were, but he hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and he was especially excited and happy to see her again.

Lin Zhao rubbed her temples and let the original owner's three daughters hug her and act coquettishly. After a while, her parents pulled her down to sit.

Once their emotions had calmed down a bit, Lin's parents remembered Lin Zhao's unusual behavior upon returning home and asked him, with a mixture of doubt and worry, what had been wrong with him these past few days.

"Why did Pengfei and his mother-in-law say you were dead?" Lin's mother asked.

The body was not found, but the funeral was held. Lin's parents were only in their early sixties, but after learning the tragic news of their daughter, their hair turned completely white overnight.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said simply, "Something unexpected happened. I was almost sold out by Xu Pengfei and his mother."

"sold?!"

"How dare they do such a thing?! Call the police! I'm calling the police!"

Mr. and Mrs. Lin were shocked. They wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Zhao didn't want the two elderly people to worry too much.

Lin Zhao said, "It's alright, I've taken care of everything, you don't need to worry."

At this point, Lin Zhao asked again, "Mom should have received some money in her bank account, right?"

Lin's mother was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, "Yes, we just received it! It's a huge sum of money! I don't even dare to count the zeros! And we don't even know who transferred it. Your father and I were even talking about whether to call the police..."

Lin's father's eyes lit up. "Zhaozhao, is that you?"

Lin Zhao smiled and nodded.

"How did you suddenly get so much money?" Lin's father, remembering that Lin Zhao had said he'd dealt with Xu Pengfei and Wan Guizhi, was a little worried. "What kind of money is this? You wouldn't...?"

"Don't worry, this... is considered a funeral allowance." Lin Zhao curled his lips into a sinister smile. "Xu Pengfei and Wan Guizhi's days are numbered."
