Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Fali went on the craziest shopping trip in her life.

Although her family background is very good, Fali has never been a shopping expert or a shopping fanatic.

This has a lot to do with her personality. Although Fali, like most women, likes various famous brands and likes to read some fashion magazines, she has always been a rational person when shopping.

But today, she was forced to buy more than 50,000 US dollars in various clothing and shoes.

Of course, even so, Fali still made a more sensible purchase.

Most of the items were between one thousand and two thousand dollars, except for one pair of shoes which was over four thousand dollars.

Chen Zhao had to put the bag back in the car and continue shopping.

Fali felt that Chen Zhao planned to buy the entire street for himself.

Although shopping is very pleasurable, as a rationalist, after shopping, Fali will worry about whether it will be too expensive and whether it will bring a burden to Chen Zhao.

"Okay, we're almost done shopping." Fali planned to stop shopping on her own initiative.

Chen Zhao leaned into Fali's ear and said, "Actually, I want to see you wearing Victoria's Secret underwear."

Fali's cheeks suddenly turned red: "Asshole."

Back at the Coast Guard headquarters, the female team members' eyes widened when they saw the large and small bags on Chen Zhao's body.

Every woman dreams of a famous brand, and the big and small bags hanging on Chen Zhao's body are probably their monthly salary.

To be honest, it wasn't that Chen Zhao wanted to hang so many bags. It was because the trunk of his Ford SUV couldn't fit in, so he had to put them in Fali's car.

It's just that Fali and Chen Zhao's big and small bags are too exciting for these women.

They are confident that their figure and appearance are no worse than Fali, but why can't they meet such a rich man who is willing to spend money on his girlfriend.

The famous brand bags Chen Zhao is carrying are estimated to cost more than 20,000 US dollars.

"Fali, don't drive too fast today. Follow me. I'll take you somewhere."

"Where to go?"

"You'll know once you go there."

Fali suspected that Chen Zhao was going to propose to her, right?

What if I propose marriage?

I am completely unprepared...

But it wouldn't be good if he refused. I like Chen Zhao.

If Chen Zhao is rejected, will he break up with himself?

Fali drove the car and followed Chen Zhao.

Fali discovered that Chen Zhao drove the car to Beverly Hills.

"Chen, where are we going?" Fali followed Chen Zhao, thinking wildly in her mind.

Chen Zhao's car made many twists and turns until it reached the mountain, and stopped in front of a villa.

Fali was even more confused. Is this the home of Chen Zhao's friend?

Is Chen Zhao taking him to meet his friends?

If this was the case, why didn't he tell himself earlier?

There is absolutely no need for him to hide it from himself, right?

Fali got out of the car and looked at Chen Zhao doubtfully: "Chen, is this your friend's home?"

"This is our home for the time being." Chen Zhao grinned.

"Why?" Fali's face was full of questions: "Chen, didn't we live well in Dashan Town? Why do we want to move here? And our new home in Dashan Town is about to be built."

"Well... our home suffered a fire, and everything burned down."

"..." Fali finally figured out why Chen Zhao dragged her shopping and bought her so many things.

It turned out that everything she had was burned to the ground.

"Nothing left?"

"There's nothing." Chen Zhao said helplessly.

"Were you in the house at that time?" Fali suddenly looked at Chen Zhao worriedly: "Were you injured?"

"No."

"As long as everything is fine," Fali said while hugging Chen Zhao.

Ahem——

Chen Zhao turned his head and saw it was Paul.

"Uh... Paul, why are you here?"

"Mr. Rasfa asked me to send you some things. I thought you might not have your daily necessities ready yet, so I sent them to you," Paul said.

"Thank you, Paul."

After Paul delivered the things, he left wisely.

Fali admired this villa. To be honest, this villa was very good. It was located halfway up the mountain. You could see half of Beverly Hills. In the distance was the entire coastline, facing the sea and backed by green mountains.

The villa also has a matching swimming pool and various modern facilities.

"Chen, can our new home be better than this one?"

"That's for sure, it's definitely better than here."

This villa is a small apartment, not a large villa estate.

And the outdoor space is not spacious, not even as good as the original rented house.

Black horse and white horse can only play on the rooftop.

The new home that Robbio designed for them is three or four times larger than this villa in size.

In terms of environment, they should be different.

Beverly Hills is considered the most prosperous area, and this is definitely unmatched.

Chen Zhao feels that if the river outside Mirror Lake is widened and deepened so that small and medium-sized boats can pass by, then water transportation will make his new home a lot more beautiful.

And Amon can also enter the lake, so that the family can be reunited.

Instead of like now, it can be said that the whole family is living in someone else's house.

…

At night, in an abandoned factory, Spike was holding a bottle of red wine.

He had learned that he was wanted.

Attempted homicide, arson, burglary.

He knew that he was completely finished and was different from the past.

His dark history in the past was that at most he was detained in the police station for three days and came out alive and well.

But now he can't get out even after ten or eight years.

Now he just wants to get some money and leave Los Angeles and the United States.

It is better to hide in a third world country than to stay here and not only be wanted by the police, but also be collected by loan sharks.

At this moment, there was light coming from outside the factory.

Spike's heart tightened, and he immediately lowered his body and looked outside.

A car came and several men in black suits got out of the car, one of them carrying a box.

At this time, Spike's cell phone vibrated, and Spike turned off the ringtone of his cell phone to avoid exposing himself.

"We've arrived, where are you?"

Spike did not say anything, but was confirming whether these people were his trading partners.

To be honest, he really couldn't understand why a bottle of wine could sell for one million US dollars.

No, not a bottle, but a third.

Only one-third of the wine has been consumed by two-thirds, and there are still people on the black market offering one million yuan to buy it.

In his opinion, this is really unreasonable.

After half the payment, Spike finally spoke up: "I'm in the factory, only one of you can come in."

The man carrying the box came in and looked at Spike hiding in the darkness.

"Where's what I want?"

"I need to see the money first." Spike said carefully. This was a million dollar deal.

Who knows if the other party will take advantage of him, so the other party opened the box and threw it in front of Spike.
