Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

To be honest, Chen Zhao was not mentally prepared at all.

Do you want it to be so sudden?

But facing Fali, whom he had been getting along with day and night, Chen Zhao suddenly didn't know how to refuse.

Therefore, under the witness of three friends, Fali took the initiative to confess her love successfully.

"Chen, how did you escape from the storm?" David asked.

"I got lucky and adopted a pet at sea."

"What pet?"

"A killer whale named Amon. It was Amon who brought me back to land."

"..."

Everyone was speechless. They all knew that the pets adopted by Chen Zhao were abnormal.

Intelligence is only the most basic requirement, and Fali has even seen Black Horse and White Horse appear with her own eyes.

So they all became interested in Amon, whom Chen Zhao adopted, and David asked excitedly: "Where is Amon? Where is it now?"

"Of course it's in the sea. You can't expect me to carry Amon back."

"Then when will you take us to see it?"

"Let's talk about it when you have time."

"You have been with me all day. Go home and rest." Fali said.

"Chen is back, and you're going to drive us away? I'm going to stay tonight." Sienna said dissatisfied.

"Okay, Sienna, don't be a light bulb. Let's go, so as not to make people hate you." Chris pulled Sienna, and David and Chen Zhao hugged each other and left with them.

"Chen, do you want me to take you somewhere?"

"No, just go to work and be careful."

"I know, bye."

It may seem like their conversation hasn't changed, but actually the feeling has.

Chen Zhao sat alone on the sofa and waited until Fali went out before taking out the phone.

"Hey, Greene."

"Chen? It's strange. Your tone is a little strange. Are you in love?"

It is said that women have the sharpest intuition, but Chen Zhao didn't expect that Ge Lin would guess it before he even opened his mouth.

"Um."

"Congratulations." A faint laugh came from Ge Lin on the other end of the phone, and she sincerely gave Chen Zhao her blessing.

"Thank you." Chen Zhao responded calmly: "When will you return to Los Angeles?"

"I probably won't go back to Los Angeles. I plan to join the San Francisco Police Department."

"That's it."

"I still have work to do, so let's do this first."

"Okay, you're busy, bye."

"goodbye……"

Now that the relationship with Fali has been established, the past relationship should be severed.

Reality is different from fiction. Few women can tolerate their boyfriends misbehaving outside.

Just like Chen Zhao can't tolerate his woman messing around outside, this is the same.

It would be beneficial for everyone to sort out past relationships.

At this time, Chen Zhao's phone rang, Mowgli's phone.

"Chen, do you have time?"

"What?"

"You promised me to cure my baldness."

"Okay, where are you?"

"At your door."

When Chen Zhao went out, he saw Mowgli's car. Mowgli saw a large family behind Chen Zhao.

"Chen, what are those two? Don't tell me they are Alaska, they are definitely not Alaska."

"They are whatever you think they are."

"Don't tell me, they are coming too, my car can't fit them in."

"It's not them getting on the bus, it's you getting off the bus. Since you're at my door, of course you go directly to my home for treatment."

"All right."

Mowgli followed Chen Zhao into the room with a bit of curiosity.

"Chen, your family is different from what I imagined."

"What's different?"

"It doesn't smell like medicine as I thought, nor does it look like a house with a bunch of pets. Everything is messy and neat. I also had a dog in the past, and that bastard made my house a mess. "

"It's very simple. If my dog ​​dares to run wild at home, I will beat him."

Chen Zhao was about to treat Mowgli when Azina's voice came from outside the door.

Azina saw that the door was unlocked, so she called directly outside the door and pushed the door open.

"Chen, you are at home."

"If you want to play with Black Ma and White Ma, they are in the yard. White Ma is injured and can't run. I'm busy, so you can go ahead."

"okay."

Chen Zhao had treated Mowgli several times, so Mowgli already trusted Chen Zhao.

However, Chen Zhao saw that after Mowgli took off his clothes, there was a gun hidden in his clothes, and his face turned dark.

"Mowgli, if you bring a gun to my house again next time, I will kick you out."

"I'm not trying to be wary of you. It's just that I have too many enemies. If I don't carry a gun, I feel very insecure."

"Then I will go to your home for treatment next time."

"Is there a next time?"

"Nonsense, do you think treating hair loss is that easy?"

"How long will it take to be effective?"

"You have to contact me once a week for about a month."

"Okay, how much?"

"Two thousand dollars for a treatment."

"Take it." Mowgli always paid readily: "By the way, last time you said you wanted to find a way to get black market drugs. I'll give you a phone number and you can just say that I introduced you."

"Okay, thank you."

Not long after Mowgli left, Dean Slott came to the door.

"Chen, I will step down as mayor next week. What are your thoughts? Regarding the land in Mirror Lake, if you don't make a decision, I can't guarantee that you will be able to make it when I step down as mayor. If you buy that piece of land, at least at the price I offer, you probably won’t be able to buy it.”

Chen Zhao thought for a while and finally made a decision: "Okay, I'll buy it."

"Then when are you free?"

"It's best now, I have something to do later."

"Okay."

Chen Zhao happened to have the $500,000 check that Ethan gave him. Since he had money in his pocket, he might as well just do it to avoid long nights and nightmares.

The procedure is relatively simple, just sign the land purchase agreement, have it notarized, and then pay the deposit.

The entire procedure took less than an hour to complete.

After completing the procedures, Chen Zhao felt relieved.

Then Chen Zhao went to the gym and took fighting classes——

Gaia asked curiously: "Chen, I heard that you went to sea yesterday and encountered a storm?"

"Who told you that?"

"The Coast Guard, my former student works there. I saw that the photo of you and a girl was reported to the Coast Guard. Yesterday at least hundreds of search and rescue ships participated in the search and rescue."

"Yes, but I still came back safe and sound." Chen Zhao said.

"Just come back. How are you doing now?"

"not bad."

At this time, Chen Zhao's phone rang: "Answer the call."

"Help...Chen, come here quickly."

Chen Zhao's face turned dark when he heard the sound of ghosts crying and howling.

Besides Dell, there is no second choice.
