Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

This hotel is not popular, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious.

And it fits the theme very well stylistically, pirates.

The front desk, receptionists, and even the security guards and cleaning staff are all dressed in pirate costumes like those in the movies.

After completing the check-in procedures, everyone came to the elevator.

When the elevator door opened, Chen Zhao saw an acquaintance.

Gu Lie came out of the elevator wearing a one-eyed patch.

A man next to Gu Lie bumped into Chen Zhao.

"Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

There was no need for Chen Zhao to express his opinion, Gu Lie had already kicked the man to the ground.

"Boss..."

Gu Lie walked out of the elevator and looked at Chen Zhao: "Mr. Chen, please."

"Do you own this hotel?"

"It was opened with that money." Gu Lie said with a smile.

Chen Zhao waved his hand and entered the elevator with the people from the association.

"Boss, do you know that man?" the subordinate asked with an aggrieved look on his face.

Gu Lie knew that whenever he saw a woman, one of his men couldn't help but use this method to provoke the male companions around him.

Although most of the time, this method does not allow him to win the favor of women.

But he is still keen on this method.

He thinks this is what makes a man.

Gu Lie looked at his men: "Next time you want to provoke, you'd better know the target, otherwise, you may die inexplicably."

"Is that Asian a big shot? A political figure or a gangster?"

"Butcher." Gu Lie said lightly. All of us together may not be able to kill as many people as he alone.

When the men heard Gu Lie's words, they turned pale with fright.

Most of the people in the hotel are members of Gulie's pirate group.

Basically everyone has blood on them.

But after hearing Gu Lie's words, his subordinates knew that they had offended a big shot.

…

"President, do you know that woman?"

"Pirates in this sea area." Chen Zhao said calmly.

"Is this hotel really run by pirates? Then will they..."

"No, this hotel is very clean. It should be a serious business here, and they don't dare to do anything to us."

When everyone thought about Chen Zhao's words, they also felt that it made sense.

What's so scary about pirates?

No matter how scary it is, can it be as scary as their president?

In their minds, no one is as scary as Chen Zhao.

West knows how to behave well and opened a luxurious suite for Chen Zhao.

After Chen Zhao finished rinsing, he was about to lie down and have a good rest.

After weathering the storm at sea these past few days, Chen Zhao never had a good night's sleep.

This time I can finally catch up on my sleep.

At this moment, the door rang.

Chen Zhao opened the door shirtless.

I saw Gu Lie standing at the door.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

Gu Lie took off his blindfold: "It's nothing, it's just to fit the theme of the hotel... Mr. Chen, won't you invite me in to sit down?"

"Come in." Chen Zhao stepped aside.

When Gu Lie came in, he also brought a bottle of wine.

"Want a drink?"

"No, you must have something to talk to me about. I like to talk about things in a sober state."

"Mr. Chen, it's impossible for me to trick you."

"Haha... you are a pirate."

"Okay, I don't dare." Gu Lie said calmly.

Chen Zhao always smiled, but he would not believe what Gu Lie said.

Gu Lie is a vicious pirate.

She also committed murder and arson.

"Okay, you'd better stop being so polite and tell me directly if you have anything to do with me."

"Mr. Chen, do you know about the Great Ring Trench naval battle three years ago?"

"The Battle of the Great Ring Trench? Are you talking about war?"

"No, it was the four tons of gold transferred by Citibank to its European branch. The transport plane crashed while flying over the Great Ring Trench. The forces and pirates in the nearby waters wanted to take the gold for themselves, which triggered a naval battle." Gu Lie said.

"Then the owner of the gold, Citibank, has never thought about recycling the gold? After all, with the financial resources of Citibank, it is fully capable of hiring a powerful armed force and then recycling the gold. Unless it is done at the national level, otherwise, there should be no Who can compete with Citibank for financial resources?"

"Of course, Citibank hired two cruisers from the Navy. It was also because of the addition of the two cruisers that the situation became more tense. The battle finally broke out after the gold was salvaged by the warships, and the two navy warships were sunk. .”

Chen Zhao couldn't help but raise his head and look at Gu Lie. Does anyone really dare to attack the government's navy?

The US navy is said to be the strongest in the world, and the US imperialist government has always retaliated.

After two cruisers were sunk, the matter was not over.

"What about the gold? Whose hands did it end up in?"

"No one got it," Gulie said.

"How is it possible? It's impossible for everyone to die together, right?"

"The ones who stole the gold were the largest pirate gang in the Pacific, Big Belly."

"What a weird name? Can anyone really tolerate the name of their pirate group? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by your peers?"

"They are a family pirate group. Big Belly has a history of four hundred years. They are the oldest pirate group." Gulie said calmly.

"Okay, what do you want to say? Do you want to rob these four tons of gold with me?"

"Big Belly has been destroyed."

"Destroyed? Why? Didn't you say that they continued their history for four hundred years?"

"They were too confident and arrogant. They suffered retaliation from the government. After that naval battle, the US military found the island where they were hiding and bombed it. The entire island was almost razed to the ground."

"Then the things should have fallen into the hands of the government, right?"

"No, although the US military annihilated the Big Belly, they did not get the gold. On the contrary, the naval fleet involved in the operation also suffered heavy losses."

"Why? Facing a fleet, I'm afraid no private force can fight back, right?"

"The island where Big Belly has lived for generations is Nanqi Island. Like me, they have been entangled by the curse of pirates for generations. They also guarded a seal, but the bombing of the US military directly broke the seal. Nanqi Island And the nearby sea area has completely turned into hell, countless monsters are entrenched in that sea area, and no one can get close to that sea area."

"Not interested." Chen Zhao shook his head.

"Why?" Gu Lie asked.

She originally had great confidence in persuading Chen Zhao.

Moreover, Chen Zhao is also the most suitable partner she can think of.

Chen Zhao keeps his promise. As long as he does not use double-dealing, Chen Zhao will never take his share.

In addition, Chen Zhao is powerful and the most capable and most likely person to deal with those monsters.

That's why Gu Lie chose to explain this matter to Chen Zhao.
