Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Baima, where did you find the gold coin?"

Woof——

"Under the cliff over there." Baima said.

"Fali, let's go over there and take a look." Chen Zhao pulled Fali up.

On the edge of Angel Beach is a gravel beach. Above the gravel beach is a cliff with a height of more than 20 meters.

The waves here are much bigger than those on the beach, and the rocks are extremely slippery and soaked in sea water, so no tourists will risk coming here.

Chen Zhao and Fali came to the gravel beach hand in hand and had to be careful.

Instead, White Horse and Black Horse walked on the flat ground, jumping up and down on various rock masses on the gravel beach.

At this time, Baima seemed to have discovered something. He sniffed on the ground, then plunged into the sea. After a while, he came up again, ran to Chen Zhao, opened his mouth, and threw another gold coin in Chen Zhao's hand. .

Chen Zhao and Fali looked at each other, both of them unable to conceal their joy.

Neither of them are the kind of people who regard money as dirt. People can't live without money.

What's more, they really need money now. Chen Zhao touched Baima and said, "Is there any more?"

"Master, there are a lot of things scattered down there."

"Baima said there is still a lot in the water." Chen Zhao said.

"Strange, why has no one noticed it before? Although no one comes here, there are still some adventurous people who come here for excitement. I haven't heard of anyone finding gold coins." Fali said.

"Could it be brought by the recent storm? Or is this simply sent by a ghost ship?"

When Fali heard about the ghost ship, she quickly threw the gold coins in her hand on the ground: "Chen, is there a curse on this ghost ship? Like the cursed gold coins in Pirates of the Caribbean?"

"Don't worry, it's been confirmed and there are no problems."

"you sure?"

"Sure." If there was danger, Chen Zhao would not drag Fali with him: "It's too dangerous to stand here. Fali, you go out of the beach first, and Baima and I will go to the sea to take a look."

"Then be careful. The waves here are very big. If you are slapped on the rocks, you will really be hurt."

Fali couldn't help here, so after a few reminders, she went to the beach to wait for Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao and Baima went diving in the sea, and Chen Zhao also found several gold coins underwater.

The divisions of these gold coins are scattered and not in large quantities.

Judging from the division of these gold coins, they should be divided according to the flow path of water.

It seems that these gold coins were indeed blown to the shore due to the last storm, but Chen Zhao and Baima only found a dozen gold coins.

Chen Zhao believes that there must be more gold coins under the mud layer on the seabed.

However, it is impossible to find it anymore. Unless one wears a diving suit and then Baima searches for it, it is possible to dig out the gold coins under the mud layer.

Chen Zhao and Baima returned to the shore. Chen Zhao spread his hands and said, "Fali, look."

"That friend of yours said this one could be sold for $50,000, right?"

"Well, it should be about the same."

"That means that as long as you sell this, it will be enough to build a house?"

"I can also help you replace a car."

To be honest, Fali's car is really old. It is said that when Fali just graduated, she bought a second-hand car for 3,000 US dollars. It has been used for more than ten years and is already very old.

Fali also complained on weekdays that the car always had problems.

"There are sixteen gold coins in total, Fali, do you want to leave one as a souvenir?"

"No, let's sell them all," Fali said.

Although Chen Zhao had promised that there was nothing wrong with these gold coins.

But Fali was still worried whether these gold coins would have any ominous curse.

…

In the afternoon, Chen Zhao packed the gold coins and went straight to Mr. Doman's house.

"Mr. Dorman, this is the gold coin I showed you this morning. Take a look at it."

"Wait a moment." Mr. Dorman took out his identification tools, including white gloves, a portable magnifying glass, and jaw pliers.

Many of these gold coins are severely corroded, and Chen Zhao is worried that these gold coins will affect their value.

Moreover, there is a big gap between the workmanship and modern craftsmanship, and it is obvious that these gold coins are shoddy.

"Mr. Chen, were these gold coins fished out of the sea?"

"Yes." Chen Zhao replied calmly.

"My suggestion is that ten of the gold coins are relatively well preserved and can be packaged and sold to me at the price we agreed on. The surface of the remaining few gold coins has been completely corroded, and the original patterns can hardly be seen. So you can take it, melt it yourself, and make it into jewelry for your girlfriend.”

"Okay." Chen Zhao also understood that things like gold coins are based on historical value.

The greatest expression of historical value is their former patterns and patterns.

If the patterns and patterns are gone, then the gold coins will also lose their historical value and collection value.

Mr. Doman signed a check in front of Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao looked at the check and said, "Why is it 900,000?"

"There are another four hundred thousand as your reward," Mr. Dorman said.

"But my work isn't done yet."

"It doesn't matter, I'm very satisfied with Normans' current condition, and there are still twenty days before the time we agreed on. Normans has already lost a hundred pounds, and since he started losing weight, Normans has improved mentally. It’s getting better and better and I really appreciate everything you do for Normans.”

"Okay, I'll accept the check. I'm going to find Normans first."

"Okay, go and do your work."

…

"Asshole, you came out of Daddy's with a smile on your face, did you get paid?"

"Is it obvious?" Chen Zhao touched his cheek.

"It's very obvious."

At this time, Chen Zhao's phone rang, and it was Ford's voice: "Chen, I have a game in Los Angeles this afternoon. Do you want to come and watch?"

"Why so sudden?"

"The organizer suddenly invited me. It is said that three athletes were found to be doping, and there were not enough athletes on the field, so they invited me to make up the number."

"Okay." Chen Zhao agreed: "Where are the tickets?"

"I asked Mr. Bird to wait for you at the door. How many do you want?"

"Just two."

After hanging up the phone, Normans asked, "Who's calling? Are you going to something?"

"A friend of mine who runs track and field has a competition in Los Angeles this afternoon. Do you want to go and see it?"

"What about the afternoon exercise?"

"We ran to the stadium."

"Which stadium?"

"Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum."

"It's forty kilometers away from Beverly Hills. It's on the other side of Los Angeles. Are we going to run there? By the time we get there, the game will be over, right?"

"No, the game at five o'clock in the afternoon is only one o'clock now, and it lasts four hours."

"You like track and field?"

"No, I just want to cheer up my friends."

"Okay, but your friend must not lose, otherwise you will be embarrassed."
