Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"I'm sorry. I can compensate you. How much do you want?"

"Ten thousand dollars."

"You...you are blackmailing!" the woman suddenly roared.

"This also includes your daughter's medical expenses, and I have to take her to the hospital."

"What...this is impossible, the police will know."

If you are admitted to the hospital with this kind of injury, the doctor will definitely notify the police.

If there is an investigation by then, her reputation will be completely ruined.

"I won't say anything. As for what information the police will investigate, it has nothing to do with me." Chen Zhao said.

Chen Zhao was not completely sure that this woman was not the murderer.

If she was really the murderer, it would be too dangerous for her to stay with her adopted daughter.

Therefore, Chen Zhao had to send this girl to the hospital.

"As for what you're going to tell the police, that's your problem."

"Sir, don't send her to the hospital. I promise, I promise to be nice to her. I won't hurt her. If this matter is exposed, my job will be lost."

"What do you do?"

"I am the host, I am the host of the KTLL TV news channel... I am a celebrity... I cannot be exposed to scandal." The woman was completely panicked. She obviously regarded her career as more important than her adopted daughter.

Chen Zhao thought for a moment and said, "She must be sent to the hospital. This is irreversible. However, I have an acquaintance in the police and I can help you ask how you should handle this situation."

This woman's mistakes were both big and small, because she was the guardian of this girl named Veer.

And she was guilty of manslaughter by not saving her daughter.

Of course, Weir is not dead now, so as long as this matter is not prosecuted, it will be fine.

It mainly depends on the evidence obtained by the police and the attitude of the police.

Chen Zhao dialed Meyerson's phone: "Myerson, are you free now?"

"What's up?"

"I took over a customer..."

Chen Zhao explained the situation again, and Melson was silent for half a minute and said, "How do you want me to deal with it?"

"As far as the law allows, it is the best outcome if the mother is not held accountable for her fault, and it is best to ensure that this matter does not come to light."

"How is the girl's injury?"

"I have already rescued the girl and her injuries have been stabilized by me. I plan to call an ambulance and take her to the hospital."

"We, the police, will call the ambulance. You and the woman will stay at the scene for the time being. I will lead someone there right away."

"okay, I get it."

After a while, Meyerson arrived with someone, and then an ambulance arrived.

Several police officers were collecting evidence at the scene, and Meyerson waved to Chen Zhao and the woman.

"let's talk."

The three of them entered the bedroom. Melson looked at Chen Zhao and then at the woman.

"Ms. Daili Simpson, if you don't want to get into trouble, when recording the confession, say that you just found out that your daughter committed suicide and called the police immediately. Don't make any other irrelevant statements."

"Am...am I going to be sued?"

"As long as you don't take the initiative to give evidence that delays the time, our police will not take the initiative to prosecute you." Meyerson said.

"I...I understand." Daili Simpson nodded.

"You first state the situation to my team members. Don't talk about unnecessary things, such as your abdominal injury."

"Okay." Daili Simpson was still a little uneasy, but she still followed Melson's suggestion.

Chen Zhao held Melson's hand: "Thank you."

Chen Zhao knew that this was help in exchange for favors.

Last time Melson owed him a favor, and this time Melson was here to return the favor.

Of course, this favor was within his authority.

If Dai Li Simpson really killed someone, he couldn't turn a blind eye to it for Chen Zhao's sake.

The $10,000 that Dailey Simpson paid him was not only the medical fee, but also the commission for buying favors and hush money.

To put it bluntly, Chen Zhao helped her solve the problem and she paid him.

As for Daley Simpson and her adopted daughter, who is right and who is wrong.

This is not Chen Zhao's decision. Anyway, neither of their characters are what Chen Zhao likes.

Moreover, Chen Zhao has no intention of getting involved in their relationship. Their hostility to each other did not happen overnight.

Even whether they will stab each other with knives in the future has nothing to do with Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao did what he should do, at least that's what he thought.

Daley Simpson is at fault, but if she goes to jail, Will Simpson will have to go to an orphanage or be entrusted to close relatives, which may not be a good thing for her.

…

"Chen Zhao, why did you give me two thousand dollars?" Ethan looked at Chen Zhao with confusion: "Isn't the fee for this consultation eight hundred dollars? According to the commission we agreed on, it should be one hundred and sixty dollars. Right? Could it be that your conscience has found out and you plan to settle the bill for eating at my place? "

"If you want it, don't be verbose." Chen Zhao rolled his eyes: "Sister Qing, get me something to eat."

Ethan has been thinking about Chen Zhao's usual mess of eating and drinking.

After eating, Chen Zhao went to the hospital again to see Will Simpson's condition and handed over the money.

When I got home, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Chen Zhao saw Ken standing opposite the door, arguing with a man about something. Chen Zhao was somewhat impressed by the man.

It seems that he met a gangster in the town at the supermarket in the town. At that time, the gangster seemed to see Chen Zhao as a stranger, so he targeted Chen Zhao. Fortunately, the employee of the supermarket reminded Chen Zhao.

"Ken, are you a friend?" Chen Zhao reminded loudly. He saw that Ken and the gangster seemed to be about to fight, so he signaled that he was here.

The gangster glanced at Chen Zhao, then lowered his voice and said something to Ken, and left angrily.

Ken walked up to Chen Zhao and said, "Chen, thank you."

"Is that person a gangster?"

"We used to be brothers and they came to me to borrow money."

"Aren't Mr. Bant and Mary here?"

“The winery closed down and my dad and I both lost our jobs, so we both needed to find new jobs,” Ken said.

Chen Zhao couldn't do anything about their predicament, after all, he didn't have many connections.

"Will that gangster cause trouble for you again?"

"I don't have any money to lend him. He probably won't come again." Ken replied, shaking his head.

"That's good. If you are in trouble, come to me or call the police."

"I know what to do, thank you."

"Maybe you should write down the personal phone number of Leonardo, the patrol policeman in town."

"OK, thanks."

Not long after Chen Zhao returned home, Fali also came back.

Fali lay lazily on the sofa: "Chen, have you cooked dinner?"

"No, I just came back too."

"I don't want to move. You are responsible for dinner."

"Let's go out to eat, I'm too lazy to move."

Audience gentlemen, I promised 30 monthly tickets yesterday, and then updated ten chapters, but found that I was unable to do it.

Let’s change it today. I will add an additional update to the fifty-chapter monthly ticket. Otherwise, Hanbao’s kidney will explode. I beg you for mercy...
