Chapter 52: No Coffin, No Tears

  Lin San glanced around the coffee shop's hall, didn't see Zhang Xiaomei, it seemed that Zhang Xiaomei should have gone upstairs. Thinking of this, Lin San lifted his foot and followed the stairs to the second floor.

  A waitress walked up: "Sir, what can I get for you?"

  "Is there still an empty single room?" Lin San asked.

  "Follow me, sir." The waitress nodded and led Lin San to a private room at the east end.

  The air conditioner in the room is on, and the temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

  "What flavor of coffee would you like to drink, sir?" the waitress asked.

  "Let's have a cup of black coffee." Lin San liked his coffee straight up.

  The waitress nodded and walked out of the private room. Before long, she came back in with a steaming cup of coffee and placed it on the table, then retreated again.

  Lin San sat on the spacious and comfortable sofa, picked up his coffee, gently blew off the hot air, and slowly took a sip. The coffee was a bit bitter, leaving a tingling sensation in his mouth.

  Lin San stood up and walked out of the room after sitting in the room for about 5 minutes.

  The corridor was empty and deserted, without a single person in sight.

  Lin San slowly walked in the corridor, his ears carefully listening to the movements in the rooms on both sides.

  "Clang!" A crisp sound of a teacup breaking came from one of the rooms on the left, followed by the sound of a woman's voice.

  Lin San was taken aback, turned his head to the private room where the sound came from, and saw a door plate with the number "208" on it. The woman's voice that had just come out of the private room was clearly Zhang Xiaomei's. It seemed that Zhang Xiaomei was in this private room.

  Lin San looked around, found no one, and quickly walked a few steps to the door of room 208. He squatted down, put his ear against the door, and listened carefully to the movements inside. Faintly, Lin San heard that there was a man and a woman talking inside, the woman's voice was louder, it was Zhang Xiaomei's, and the other man's voice was very low and hoarse. Lin San frowned, feeling that the man's voice in the room was somewhat familiar. He furrowed his brow and thought for a while, suddenly Lin San's eyes widened, it was Xia Hou! The man in the room was actually Xia Hou!

  Lin San licked his lips and thought to himself: How did Xia Hou end up with Zhang Xiao Mei? What's their relationship?

  "Xiahou, you've killed me!" Zhang Xiaomei suddenly exclaimed loudly in the package room.

  "Xuemei, don't get agitated, I didn't expect things to become so complicated either." Xiahou comforted.

  "Hmph, Xiahou, I really regret listening to you and framing Lin San back then. Now it's come back to haunt me and I've even been suspended from work. If things don't go well, I might even get fired by the company." Zhang Xiaomei's tone was full of resentment.

  "Xuemei, I had no choice either. You don't know how arrogant Lin San is, relying on Gu Miss's backing, he doesn't put me in his eyes... If I didn't take care of Lin San ahead of time, my position as department head would be replaced by Lin San sooner or later." Xia Hou sighed.

  "To keep your position, I lost my job, how am I supposed to live in the future?" Zhang Xiaomei said discontentedly.

  "Xuemei, don't worry, if you really lose your job because of this, I'll give you a living allowance every month. Besides, the 100,000 yuan that was lost in the finance department is enough for you to splurge on for a while." Xiahou said with a smile.

  "You still have some conscience..." Zhang Xiaomei hummed softly.

  "Alright, don't be angry anymore, my little treasure. Come, let me give you a kiss. These days have been killing me..." Xia Hou said softly.

  Immediately afterwards, sounds of kissing came from the private room.

  Entrance

  Lin San's face turned iron-green, his fists clenched tightly, panting heavily, "Huff...huff". Lin San never expected that Xia Hou and Zhang Xiao Mei would collude to frame him. At this moment, Lin San really wanted to rush into the private room and beat up Xia Hou and Zhang Xiao Mei, the dog-like couple.

  "What are you doing?" A surprised voice echoed in the corridor.

  Lin San looked up and saw a waitress holding a cup of hot coffee standing at the entrance of the corridor, staring at him in surprise. Lin San tied his shoelaces, stood up, smiled at the waitress: "My shoelace came loose..." After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to his own room, "Bang!" The door was closed tightly.

  In the corridor, the waitress was stunned for a moment, glanced at room 208, hesitated for a moment, and turned to leave.

  An hour later, the door of Room 208 was opened and Xiahou and Zhang Xiaomei walked downstairs hand in hand.

  Just after Xiaohou and Zhang Xiaomei went downstairs, Lin San also opened the door of the private room and left the coffee shop.

  Mengdu Community

  Building 5, Unit 302.

  Xiahou and Zhang Xiaomei were lying naked on a large bed, embracing each other and flirting.

  Just recently, the two of them had a big fight on the large bed.

  Xiahou is married with a son in elementary school, while Zhang Xiaomei is divorced and has no children. The two have been secretly together for over a year, occasionally sneaking around to be together. At work, they pretend not to know each other and rarely speak.

  The two of them didn't calm down until dawn and then fell asleep in each other's arms.

  "Ding ding ding!" The clock in the living room struck 2 o'clock.

  "Creak!" The living room window suddenly opened slowly, and a black shadow crouched and jumped into the living room.

  He closed the window and looked around cautiously before slowly making his way to the bedroom door, where he gently pushed it open.

  The bedroom light was still on, and there were two naked men and women lying on the bed.

  The light in the bedroom finally revealed the appearance of the black shadow, with big eyes and a diamond-shaped face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, it was Lin San.

  Lin San followed Xia Hou and Zhang Xiao Mei from the coffee shop to Mengdu Small District, watching as Xia Hou entered Zhang Xiao Mei's home. Lin San waited at the bottom of the building until dawn before slowly climbing up through the downspout pipe into Zhang Xiao Mei's home.

  Looking at the sleeping Xiahou and Zhang Xiaomei, a hint of murder flashed in Lin San's eyes. He slowly walked to the bedside, took a deep breath, and punched Xiahou's occipital bone with great force. Xiahou's head tilted, and he fainted. Then, Lin San punched Zhang Xiaomei unconscious as well. Afterwards, Lin San found two ropes in the kitchen, tied Xiahou and Zhang Xiaomei up tightly, and threw them onto the living room floor.

  Lin San sat on the sofa with his butt, reached out to take out a cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth, slowly starting to smoke.

  Time is passing minute by minute, second by second...

  "Ding dong ding!" The clock on the wall struck 3 o'clock in the morning.

  "Hmm..." Xiahou and Zhang Xiaomei slowly came to, and when they saw themselves naked and tied up with ropes, their faces changed color instantly.

  "You're awake." Lin San flicked his cigarette ash onto the floor and said slowly.

  "Huh?" Xiaohou and Zhang Xiaomei only then discovered Lin San sitting on the sofa. Seeing Lin San suddenly appear in the living room, Xiaohou and Zhang Xiaomei's expressions were both shocked. The two racked their brains but couldn't figure out why Lin San would appear here.

  Zhang Xiaomei curled up her body and covered her private parts.

  "You... how did you get in?" Xia Hou asked, pretending to be calm.

  Lin San smiled and puffed out a mouthful of smoke: "You don't need to know how I got in, Xiahou. I really didn't expect that you'd be such a romantic figure, actually keeping a mistress outside, impressive, impressive."

  Xiahou furrowed his brow: "Lin San, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

  "Hmph! What are you doing? Xiahou, if you have the guts to frame me, then be prepared for my revenge!" Lin San coldly snorted.

  Upon hearing Lin San's words, Xia Hou's face changed drastically: "You... I don't understand what you're saying."

  Lin San sneered: "Still pretending to be innocent with me? Xia Hou, you and Zhang Xiao Mei colluded together, framed me for stealing the finance department's money, you won't forget so quickly, will you?"

  "Nonsense! Lin San, don't believe his lies!" Xia Hou shouted loudly.

  Zhang Xiaomei also shouted on one side: "Lin San, you'd better let us go quickly, otherwise I'll make sure you can't get away with it."

  "Your tongue is quite hard, huh." Lin San smiled and slowly stood up, walking to Xia Hou and Zhang Xiao Mei: "I don't know if your bones are as hard as your tongues."

  Xiahou's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Lin San, what are you trying to do!"

  Lin San suddenly smiled and heavily stabbed the burning cigarette in his hand into Xiahou's chest.

  A charred meat smell wafted through the living room.

  "Ah!!!!!" Xiahou let out a mournful cry.

  Zhang Xiaomei was even more frightened, her face turned pale.

  Lin San threw away the extinguished cigarette butt, patted his hands, and smiled at Xia Hou: "Not bad, huh?"

  "Lin San, you son of a bitch, I will never let you go!" Xia Hou's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted in a hoarse voice.

  "Slap!" Lin San raised his hand and gave Xia Hou a big slap in the face.

  Xiahou's face suddenly appeared with five clear finger marks, and a thread of blood slowly flowed from Xiahou's mouth.

  "Xiahou, I'm asking you again, did you collude with Zhang Xiaomei to frame me?" Lin San said slowly.

  Xiahou took a deep breath: "I don't know what you're talking about."

  Lin San nodded three times, gave Xia Hou a thumbs up: "You have backbone!" As soon as he finished saying this, Lin San suddenly kicked out with one foot, heavily kicking Xia Hou's chest.

  "Ah!" Xia Hou's face turned iron-green, his body curled up, and he let out a continuous scream.

  "Damn it! Not shedding tears until the coffin is seen, this damn cheap skull!" Lin San stretched out his hand to grab Xia Hou's hair and pulled it back with force, then slapped Xia Hou with a dozen loud slaps, and kicked him flying out.

  Xiahou lay on the ground, his body trembling non-stop, and a faint moan escaped from his mouth.

  Zhang Xiaomei was frightened on one side and sat stupidly on the floor, no longer caring to cover her private parts.

  "Zhang accountant, don't you also want to taste the pleasure of being whipped?" Lin San smiled and sized up Zhang Xiaomei's body, really, Zhang Xiaomei's figure was not bad, plump breasts, long legs, fair skin, quite attractive to men.

  Zhang Xiaomei shivered with fear and stared at Lin San: "You... don't hit me..."
