Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Hey, Gu Lie, why do you have time to call me?" Chen Zhao was surprised by Gu Lie's sudden call: "Is there any news from Treasure Island?"

"There has been some progress, but further investigation is still underway." Gu Lie said: "Chen, where are you now?"

"Of course I'm at home, what are you doing here?"

"At home? Or on the yacht?" Gu Lie asked again.

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked at the Meryl in the distance.

"Is that salvage boat disguised as a fishing boat yours?"

"It's mine." Gu Lie replied calmly.

"I discovered this sunken ship, and I discovered it more than half a year ago," Chen Zhao said.

"I understand, I'm asking them to evacuate now."

Gu Lie would not doubt that Chen Zhao was specifically targeting her.

The relationship between the two is still in the honeymoon stage.

Not plotting against each other over a common shipwreck.

"You ask them to leave this sea area." Chen Zhao said.

Chen Zhao let the Meryl go.

Portia was a little confused as to what was going on with that fishing boat.

He was obviously going to rush towards me in a menacing manner, but now he turned around and ran away.

But how could Portia know?

They could only escape with Chen Zhao's permission.

A group of people played until dawn. Portia was so sleepy in the middle of the night that she went to sleep by herself.

When Portia got up the next day, she saw that the deck was filled with gold and silver.

But everyone's share is clearly divided.

Portia had breakfast, which was as sumptuous as ever.

But still no chef was seen.

People from the Paranormal Society are no longer in the water.

Most of the gold that can be found has been salvaged by them.

The rest either sank into the mud on the seabed.

Or it was washed away by the ocean currents.

Next is some silver.

The value of silver is not very high.

At least the market price is not high.

They don't want to waste any more time on that silver.

The Hydra finally returned.

Except for Portia, who was left empty-handed, everyone gained a lot.

These gold bricks all weigh up to two kilograms. According to the current gold price, one gold brick is estimated to cost US$70,000 to 80,000.

The gold content of these gold bricks is quite high, and they should be of modern production and craftsmanship at the beginning of the last century.

Many people picked up three or four gold bricks, while those with few picked up at least one gold brick.

There are more silver coins, but the price of silver is much higher than that of gold tea.

For them, this was a huge windfall.

Everyone is in a pretty good mood.

Except Portia…

"Portia, don't be disappointed, this is for you." Gaia stuffed a silver coin as a comfort to Portia.

Portia was even more heartbroken...

…

"Xin Li, are you really going to look for golden apples?"

Fali has already learned from Chen Zhao, and Chen Zhao has agreed.

But Fali's current identity is, after all, Xin Li's adoptive mother.

Chen Zhao still asked Xin Li to persuade Fali in person.

"Aunt Fali, can you agree?"

In fact, there is some truth, Chen Zhao has already told Fali.

Fali is more worried about Xinli's safety.

Fali was silent for a while: "I only have one request."

"I agree to any request." Xin Li said impatiently.

Her eyes were full of prayer and she looked at Fali.

"If you are in danger, call your uncle."

"Okay." Xin Li replied without thinking.

"Actually, Chen and I have been asking about the legendary Treasure Island recently. I hope you can join us when we set out to find Treasure Island." Fali said.

Xin Li hugged Fali movedly. She was in a rebellious stage at this age.

However, it is also the age when people are most easily moved.

Human intelligence generally reaches its peak around the age of twelve, and what adults lack is just knowledge and a sound worldview.

Chen Zhao promised Xin Li to let her go out for a walk.

She didn't really have to find the golden apple.

Chen Zhao hoped that she could establish a complete world view by taking a trip.

Why are those college students in a state of confusion during the two or three years after they come out of school?

Just because school cannot allow them to build a truly complete world view.

This is why some people always joke that society is the most powerful university.

But Chen Zhao's idea is that he must go to school and hone himself.

Schools can impart knowledge and society can sharpen it.

At this moment, Coran ran in from outside, looking excited.

Fali glanced at Kelan: "Kelan, what are you doing here?"

"Miss Fali, where is Mr. Chen?"

"Here, let's bask in the sun in the yard."

Kelan saw Chen Zhao lying in the yard.

Sometimes, he really felt that Chen Zhao's lifestyle was quite cultivating.

It is completely the lifestyle of an old man over seventy years old.

For any young person, sunbathing is unimaginable.

Kelan ran into the yard again: "Mr. Chen."

Chen Zhao was dozing off, pulled down his sunglasses and looked at Kelan.

"What?"

"Mr. Chen, my father agreed."

"What did you promise?"

"Dad promised that I, Xinli, Raisa and Mr. Rouen would go looking for golden apples."

"Engelit agreed?" Chen Zhao was a little surprised: "What about your mother?"

"She also agreed."

"That's it. I'll call to confirm." Chen Zhao said.

Chen Zhao originally thought that Yingjilit would not agree.

After all, Coran is now studying at the University of Los Angeles, so it shouldn't be so easy for Coran to convince his parents.

Chen Zhao picked up the phone and dialed Amy first.

English is a psychic himself, so he is more likely to agree.

Amy is unlikely.

If Amy agreed, then English should also agree.

"Hello, Amy, I'm Chen."

"Mr. Chen, did Kelan come to your place?"

"Kelan said, do you agree that he will take a break from school for half a year and then go out to look for golden apples?"

"Yes, I agreed." Amy replied.

"Why?"

"Mr. Chen, didn't you also agree to your adopted daughter? If you can agree, why can't I agree to Kelan?"

"Well... I have my own ideas." Chen Zhao smiled bitterly.

Chen Zhao doesn't care about his children's academic performance. Chen Zhao hopes that they will get a complete world view and a correct way of thinking.

"I think you should find a way to protect Coran." Amy said calmly: "Whether he goes out for a walk, he has never really left England and me since he was a child."

"I can't completely guarantee his safety. In fact, there are certain risks in this matter."

"Nothing is absolutely safe. Even at home, disasters may come from the sky."

"What about English's thoughts?"

"He also agreed. In fact, it was English who convinced me."
