Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Even after Christmas.

However, the streets and alleys are still immersed in the festive atmosphere.

Even some hypermarkets, shopping malls and supermarkets have not opened yet.

If it were in China, most shopping malls would not miss this business opportunity.

After walking around the streets, Chen Zhao found that there was really nothing to see.

Even the largest commercial street in the city is deserted.

This is completely different from the situation in China. If it is the first day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival in China, shopping malls will be absolutely crowded.

After walking around the city, Chen Zhao finally ran to Hollywood.

Steven's studio is in Hollywood.

Chen Zhao ran to Steven's studio.

Sure enough, Steven and his employees were busy in their studio.

The staff at the studio are already very familiar with Chen Zhao.

So when Chen Zhao came, no one stopped him.

No one went to say hello to Chen Zhao.

Everyone is immersed in work.

"Hi, Steven."

Chen Zhao pushed away Steven's office.

Steven is reading a document.

Seeing Chen Zhao coming in, he put down the documents in his hands.

"Aren't you going to be with Fali and the children at home today?"

"Aren't I afraid that you will be lonely?"

Chen Zhao didn't make a chair and sat directly on Steven's desk.

"When are you done with your work? Let's go out for a drink."

"No time. By the way, you drove here today, right?" Steven asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Do you want to remind me not to drive when I'm drinking? Don't worry, I'll just ask your men to help me drive the car back."

"No, give me the car keys, I want to use your car."

"It's not like you don't have a car yourself."

"I need to meet a client and my car is too shabby," Steven said.

"I'm driving a supercar. Does it suit your temperament?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's expensive."

"Okay." Chen Zhao slapped the car keys on the table: "Are you really not going out for a drink?"

"Didn't you hear? I'm going to see a client later."

"Okay, you can come out at a certain time."

"There is no time in a short time."

"Okay." Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly.

Chen Zhao did not stay at Steven's place, but left after saying hello.

As soon as I came downstairs, I saw an Asian woman taking selfies in front of her car.

"Hey, is this your car?"

The Asian woman turned to look at Chen Zhao, looked Chen Zhao up and down, curled her lips, and said with disdain, "It's not yours anyway."

Chen Zhao was furious, but he really didn't have the car keys at this time.

"From China?" Chen Zhao asked.

"You too, right? How long have you been out? You look like you're about to turn into a fake foreign devil."

Chen Zhao couldn't continue chatting with this woman, so he turned around and left.

"Hey, wait, are you free?" The woman caught up with Chen Zhao again.

"What?"

The woman handed Chen Zhao a one-hundred-dollar bill: "Be my tour guide today, and this hundred-dollar bill will be yours."

Chen Zhao looked at the banknotes in his hand, put them away, then turned around and left.

"Hey...wait a minute, what's wrong with you? You're so incompetent."

"Did you know that you can't take photos casually here?" Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly.

"Don't try to lie to me. This is not a military base. Why can't we take pictures?" the woman said indignantly.

"I'm not lying to you, look at that sign, it says no photography allowed."

The woman's face darkened, and she looked at Chen Zhao angrily: "Do you think I don't understand English? It says that parking is prohibited in this parking space."

She didn't care about the one hundred dollars. What she was angry about was Chen Zhao's rogueness and his attitude of treating her as a fool.

"Give me the money back or I'll call the police."

"There is no surveillance here, so don't say nonsense, otherwise, I will sue you for defamation."

This woman is also stubborn, or she is very angry with Chen Zhao.

He took out his phone and called the police.

Chen Zhao curled his lips and turned to leave.

But this woman grabbed Chen Zhao directly: "Don't leave."

Chen Zhao turned to look at the woman here: "Let go, there is no one around here, but don't force me to do anything bad to you."

"I am an eighth-dan in judo, am I afraid of you?"

Just then, a police car pulled up.

The person who got off the car was Chen Zhao's old acquaintance, Sha Lan.

"Who called the police just now?" Shalan looked businesslike.

He had no intention of getting acquainted with Chen Zhao.

"Hello, beautiful police lady, this lady has been pulling at me since just now, insisting that I give her a hundred dollars, otherwise she will accuse me of molesting her." Evil man Chen Zhao complained first.

"No, that's not the case. He robbed me of a hundred dollars." The woman said angrily in slightly unfamiliar English.

Shalan looked at Chen Zhao, and then looked at the woman with surprised eyes.

"You mean, he robbed you of a hundred dollars?"

"Yes." The woman nodded firmly.

Shalan looked at Chen Zhao again: "Then what do you have to say?"

"You know me well, how could I possibly steal her money?"

The woman sneered, pointed to her mobile phone and said, "I have millions of people here who can testify for me. What you did just now was broadcast live to my fans."

Chen Zhao's face suddenly turned into pig liver, horse egg, this woman is an anchor.

I hadn't realized why this woman kept holding a selfie stick just now.

After working on it for a long time, it actually kept broadcasting.

And judging from her tone, her popularity is not low.

Sha Lan saw Chen Zhao's face and immediately knew that Chen Zhao must have done such a thing.

"Then you two, come back to the police station with me."

"Haha... I was actually joking with her. I didn't take the hundred dollars at all."

"Are you trying to quibble again?" The woman looked at Chen Zhao with a sneer.

"Actually, I'm a magician. That banknote is actually in your pocket. If you don't believe me, just touch your pocket." Chen Zhao said awkwardly.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think everyone in the live broadcast room is a fool?"

"What I say is true. If you don't believe me, just touch it and see for yourself."

The woman touched her pocket and found that there was really a paper ball in her pocket.

When I took it out, I saw it was really a hundred dollars.

"When did you put it in?"

"I told you, I'm a magician." Chen Zhao shrugged.

The woman tried hard to recall the process of her contact with him.

He seemed to have no contact with his own body.

Is he really a magician?

The live broadcast room on the woman's mobile phone was full of barrages, with all kinds of comments.

At this time, the woman saw a very conspicuous barrage. This barrage was posted by a frequent visitor of her live broadcast room, and it was also the top of the reward list, the online name is Romantic and Handsome Taoist.

"Xiao Xinxin, take him to the police station and I will reward you with twenty Buddhas for jumping over the wall."
