Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

This was the first time that Chen Zhao observed Li Qing so carefully. Li Qing bit his lower lip and hesitated several times.

"Sister Qing, is there anything special about this peace knot?" Chen Zhao stared at Li Qing.

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, I will help you make one up later."

"Sister Qing, isn't this peace knot very troublesome?"

"No, if you take some time, you can always make it up." Li Qing smiled: "By the way, Ethan went out to play and probably won't be back today."

"Did you say where you were going?"

"Forget it." Chen Zhao said helplessly: "Sister Qing, I'm leaving first."

"Okay, be careful yourself. If...if you encounter something that can't be solved again, tell Sister Qing. Sister Qing doesn't have much ability, but it's still okay to work with you to find a solution."

"Okay, Sister Qing, thank you." Chen Zhao nodded.

Chen Zhao was driving thoughtfully, when the call came again.

"Hello, Chen, I'm Wright."

"Wright, what's wrong?"

"Do you have time now?"

"Yes, Wright, are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes... I don't know, I just feel weak." Wright said, "I'm worried... I'm worried whether I'm suffering from motor neurone disease."

Chen Zhao frowned. Motor neuron disease, also known as amyotrophic sclerosis, is also commonly known as ALS.

This is a very, very troublesome disease, and so far there is no cure.

There is a small chance that the cancer can be cured or cured by physical removal.

But ALS is truly incurable.

Chen Zhao could only pray that Wright did not suffer from ALS.

"Wright, have you checked?"

"No...I don't dare to go."

There really weren't many things that could scare this old woman.

Even when she suffered from cancer, she endured it alone.

It means that she is not afraid of death, or that she is not defeated by cancer.

But a case of ALS made her timid.

Chen Zhao has seen people with ALS. It is really a terrible disease.

Many people with ALS would rather die than live that way.

But this is also good news. It has not been checked, so it is just a suspicion.

At Wright's age, he often scares himself.

Some geriatric diseases can also make the elderly physically weak, which is normal.

Chen Zhao went to the supermarket, bought a bottle of red wine, and then went straight to the University of Los Angeles.

When Chen Zhao found Wright, he found that she was in class.

Moreover, in class, Chen Zhao also discovered Diana and Evely.

Chen Zhao entered the classroom silently from the side, then found an empty seat and sat down.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Diana and Eve Lei came over. Diana was very happy to see Chen Zhao's arrival: "Chen, are you here to see me?"

"Forehead……"

"You also brought red wine, that's great, we can have a candlelight dinner."

"Sorry... I'm not here for you, Brigitte." Chen Zhao said helplessly: "I'm here for Wright, and this bottle of wine is also for Wright."

At this time, Wright also packed up the teaching materials and looked at Diana and Evely: "You two ladies, please borrow Chen."

"Okay, since it's Ms. Wright, I'll quit." Diana smiled: "Chen, remember to come to me next time."

Diana waved her little hand and left with Eveleigh.

"Go to my office," Wright said.

Wright took Chen Zhao to the office and locked the door.

"Chen, can you check your body for me?"

Chen Zhao nodded and began to examine Wright's body.

"Where do you feel weak?"

"Left arm."

Chen Zhao held Wright's arm: "Shake your arm."

Chen Zhao reached out and pinched Wright's arm again. Wright had been very cooperative with Chen Zhao's inspection.

"What have you eaten lately?"

"A sandwich in the morning and a medium-rare steak for lunch..."

“Have you been in contact with Ethan recently?”

"That bastard, I don't want to contact him."

Chen Zhao smiled: "Wright, I can assure you that you do not have ALS."

"Really?" Wright felt relaxed.

"Yes, you may have been under a lot of stress recently, so you have muscle fatigue. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for a check-up, but the results should be the same as mine."

Chen Zhao knew what Wright had been eating in the past few days. Generally speaking, the early symptoms of ALS are difficulty chewing and swallowing, and slurred speech.

But what Wright was eating and talking were all normal.

There are no symptoms of ALS, so Wright should be scaring himself.

"Wright, take this bottle of wine back and drink it all at once."

Wright looked at Chen Zhao with confusion on his face: "Please, I suffer from mild hyperglycemia. Do you want me to die? Let me drink the entire bottle of red wine at once."

"If you can't drink it, remember to throw it away." Chen Zhao said seriously: "Can you promise me?"

Wright glanced at the red wine in his hand. This bottle of red wine should have been bought in the supermarket. It was very ordinary.

However, the bottle seemed to have been opened. Wright looked at Chen Zhao: "Is there anything special about this bottle of red wine?"

"It'll make you healthier, and if you trust me, just do what I say, okay?"

"If I can't finish the drink, I pour it out? Why is that?"

"To avoid causing trouble for you and me, don't give it to anyone else."

"Okay." Wright rubbed his forehead: "I have recently taken over as the principal, and I have been under a lot more pressure. I just want to take this opportunity to take a rest."

"You became the principal?" Chen Zhao asked in surprise.

"Yes, Brewster fell to his death in the teachers' apartment in an elevator accident. As a result, I was elected as the principal."

"Should I congratulate you?"

"This is a hard job, and two female liars came to make trouble two days ago, saying that Brewster hired them as special security consultants, and also asked the school to pay them a salary of US$10,000," Wright said.

"Then what?"

"Of course I drove them away," Wright said. "They also said they were going to curse me and make me stay in bed forever."

"Um..." Chen Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think I may know the two female liars you mentioned."

"What? Are they your friends?"

"They are my friends, and they are not liars. In fact, I was present when Principal Brewster hired them, and the salary of 10,000 they requested was also what Brewster promised them."

"Special security advisor? What aspect of security is he responsible for?"

"You may not believe it, but they are psychic experts."

Chen Zhao rubbed his nose and said. Wright looked at Chen Zhao with a ghostly look on his face: "Are you serious?"

"Okay, I know this is hard to believe, but it's true. Don't things happen often in your school's abandoned teaching buildings?"

"Yes." Wright nodded.

"They were invited by Brewster to deal with the abandoned teaching building."

"Chen, are you sure this was promised by Brewster himself?"

"I can assure you of this, it is indeed true."

"Aren't they liars?"

"no."
