Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chen Zhao thought for a while, he was still not sure of the other party's identity.

So it is definitely impossible to give the address to the other party casually.

"I plan to go on vacation with my family the day after tomorrow, so I only have one day tomorrow." Chen Zhao said.

"Then tomorrow afternoon, okay?"

"Can."

Chen Zhao checked the Citibank branches in Los Angeles. There are quite a few branches, but the headquarters of the Los Angeles branch is not in Los Angeles, but in Irvine, southeast of Los Angeles.

Irvine is one of the largest planned urban communities in the United States and the ultimate destination for most Angelenos.

The average annual household income in Irvine is about $100,000.

One can imagine the standard of living and affluence in Irvine.

The next day, Chen Zhao drove to Irvine.

Irvine has a population of 170,000, of which 30% are Asian.

So Asians with yellow skin and dark eyes can be seen everywhere here.

Chen Zhao drove for a full hour to get to Irvine.

Suddenly there was a white Satsuma on the roadside, and Chen Zhao suddenly stepped on the brakes.

The Satsuma was almost killed. The Satsuma was also frightened and stared blankly at the front of the car.

Chen Zhao got out of the car angrily, holding the dog and looking around.

At this time, a woman wearing high heels and a ponytail walked quickly.

"Sir, this is my dog."

Chen Zhao glanced at the Satsuma and then looked at the woman.

"You know that large dogs must be leashed on the road, right? You know that I almost pretended to kill him just now, right?"

"Sir...I'm sorry..."

Facing Chen Zhao's domineering aura and high-pitched voice, this woman seemed a little submissive.

Chen Zhao then returned the satsuma to the woman: "Be careful."

Chen Zhao glanced at the woman before driving away.

Arriving outside the Citibank branch headquarters, this building gave Chen Zhao a very bad feeling.

Just as he was about to enter the building, a figure suddenly fell from the sky.

He fell more than ten meters away from Chen Zhao and was shattered to pieces on the spot.

Chen Zhao frowned, looking at the body, it should be a female bank employee.

Soon the police car arrived and a cordon was placed around the body.

At this time Andrews walked out of the bank and quickly found Chen Zhao.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Andrews. This is my business card."

Before Andrews met Chen Zhao, he had already seen Chen Zhao's photos and a lot of information.

Of course, what Andrews could obtain was only superficial information.

The professor at the University of Los Angeles just doesn't understand why this professor at the University of Los Angeles has such a huge net worth.

And what’s even more strange is that with such a huge net worth, no one from the tax bureau came to investigate.

After Chen Zhao confirmed Andrews' identity, he went to the office with him.

"Mr. Chen, let me first explain to you my responsibilities and obligations."

Chen Zhao listened to Andrews' explanation in detail, but Chen Zhao may not understand everything.

However, Andrews will also take the initiative to explain in more detail at key points.

"Mainly speaking, I am your personal financial butler. In addition to helping Mr. Chen manage his bank account, I can also help you make some investments."

"Forget about financial investment, I have never had much trust in finance."

Chen Zhao thought for a while: "By the way, can you help me find out the land price in Dashan Town?"

"Mr. Chen wants to buy land?"

"I currently have about three hectares of land in Dashan Town, but I hope my land can be expanded, so I plan to buy the surrounding land."

"No problem, I will help you find out today. May I ask Mr. Chen, at what price can I buy it?"

"First look at the land area and price."

Chen Zhao originally bought Mirror Lake and the surrounding area for US$500,000.

It was a real bargain, but Chen Zhao didn't think he could get such a bargain again.

Andrews is an experienced financial expert and accountant.

After completing the formalities with Andrews, the two sat down and chatted.

"By the way, what happened to the woman who jumped off the building just now?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.

"I don't know what happened, but I jumped off the building out of nowhere. This is the second time this month."

"Isn't it some kind of mental illness? Or some kind of family relationship change or something?"

"Probably not..." Andrews shook his head: "The female employee who jumped just now has only been employed for half a year and does not play stocks on weekdays. As for her family and relationship, I don't know, but I don't think she is that cheerful. An optimistic girl will jump off a building because of changes in family relationships."

When Chen Zhao entered the building just now, he felt a pressing Yin Qi.

Chen Zhao wondered if there were any evil spirits at work in this building.

But so far, Chen Zhao hasn't seen anything supernatural, it's just a feeling for the time being.

It may also be because it is daytime and ordinary evil spirits cannot appear. Even evil spirits will be greatly reduced in activity.

"Mr. Chen, let me take you out."

Chen Zhao nodded and came out with Andrews.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and a woman with a ferocious face was seen holding a pen and stabbing people everywhere.

"Kill you! Kill you... I'm going to kill you..."

When the woman saw Chen Zhao and Andrews, she rushed towards them with a pen.

"Isn't this woman the one you always gave up on?" Chen Zhao said teasingly.

"Mr. Chen, let's go quickly, this woman is crazy." Andrews saw that the woman was clearly delirious.

Chen Zhao is his big customer, and he doesn't want Chen Zhao to get hurt here.

Chen Zhao reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist.

The woman still had a ferocious look on her face, and she was constantly struggling, trying to attack Chen Zhao.

With a hint of magic in his fingers, Chen Zhao gently tapped the woman's forehead.

The woman instantly collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

Security came up and pulled the woman out.

"Mr. Chen, what is this?"

This is not a ghost, but a mind that has been deceived.

Chen Zhao didn't know if it was an evil ghost or evil spirit that did it.

Or maybe it was a witch.

"This building is really unlucky. You should find a psychic to dispel the evil atmosphere here." Chen Zhao shook his head and said.

"What are you talking about?" A woman's voice came from behind.

Chen Zhao turned his head and found that it was the woman he met on the road today.

At this moment, this woman was holding Satsuma's hand beside her.

"Is it you?" The woman was a little surprised to meet Chen Zhao here.

Chen Zhao looked at the woman: "If you want to listen, just listen. If you don't want to, forget it."

Anyway, it was none of his business, so Chen Zhao just reminded her and had no intention of arguing with this woman.

"Ms. Yamila, I think what Mr. Chen said is indeed true. Our bank headquarters building seems a bit weird. The security guard of the building said last night that he heard scary sounds."

Yamila frowned: "I will find a way to handle this matter myself."
