Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Mr. Talisti, the situation is very bad now. The police have very important evidence, including transfer records, recordings, and tainted witnesses."

Talisti's personal lawyer looked at Talisti.

"What, what's going on?"

"The accuser is an Asian man. He called the police and he also demanded one million US dollars in compensation."

Chen Zhao's face popped into Talisti's mind.

"Mr. Talisti, I need to ask you some questions now. Only you and I know about this conversation, and no third party will know about it. Have you sent anyone to do these things?"

Talisti's eyes flickered and he hesitated for a long time, still refusing to answer directly.

"Mr. Talisti, this is related to the final result in court." the lawyer said.

Talisti thought about it for a while, then nodded: "I did it."

"How exactly is it done?"

"The person from the anti-narcotics team has cooperated with me many times. I just asked him to go to the Asian's house and stuff a bag of drugs. If the Asian resisted, he could be killed directly."

"Okay, I understand." The lawyer thought for a while, then nodded: "Now all kinds of evidence are very unfavorable to you, Mr. Talisti, you'd better make plans to arouse public opinion and involve the procuratorate. before settling out of court.”

Talisti's face turned even darker, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Is there no other way? If you can help me win this lawsuit, I am willing to pay more than making me bow to that Asian man."

"The other party holds the most direct evidence, once this evidence is exposed."

Talisti's face changed with shock, if these evidences were exposed.

Then the shares of the company he controls will cause a huge shock.

Those shareholders would eat him alive.

"Help me contact the Asian man right away. We can settle the case out of court. As long as he drops the charges, I can pay him double compensation."

"What if the Asian guy won't compromise?"

"Find someone and kill him!" Talisti said through gritted teeth: "No...kill the people around him first. I remember he has a very beautiful woman. Find a few people to take the video."

Neither Talisti nor the lawyer noticed that in the shadow of the room, a venomous snake was entrenched there.

…

"Kate, I have an audio recording and a video here. Can you help me find a TV station to broadcast it?"

"Oh? Have you finally figured it out and want to reveal the supernatural power?"

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. He knew that Kate had always been interested in news about the supernatural world.

However, Kate had always been concerned about Chen Zhao, and she had no evidence herself, so she never mentioned it.

"It's not supernatural news, but I think you'll be interested."

Chen Zhao passed the audio and video contents to Kate.

Kate received the file and as soon as she opened it, there were several audio and video files inside.

David came over and put his hand on Kate's back.

"Kate, it's so late and you're still not sleeping... Hey, the file that Chen gave you? Farke, he actually sent you the file secretly. He won't like you, right?"

Kate bumped her elbow into David's crotch: "You bastard, do you know what you are talking about? He is your brother."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking."

Kate opened the video and saw the conversation between Talisti and the lawyer.

After Kate and David watched the content of the video, David became furious.

"Which police station is this bastard in? I'm going to kill him."

"Sit down, it's none of your business here, so don't worry about it."

Kate started playing another video, in which a bearded man wearing a police badge was telling himself.

David was furious: "This bastard Chen, why didn't he notify me immediately when something like this happened to him?"

Because of what happened last time, David always felt that he owed Chen Zhao.

Kate glanced at David: "He just knew you would react this way, so he didn't notify you. Otherwise, who knows what you would do."

"But now I know it."

"This matter has now been determined. If you personally attack Talisti now, things are likely to change. You'd better not mess around."

"Then there's nothing I can do?" David asked depressedly.

"I'll just do it. Have you forgotten what I do?"

…

Kate now has the title of King of Reporters in the Los Angeles media industry.

This is not a self-titled title, but a title given to her by her media friends.

The first time she caught the limelight was the night she encountered a Mexican gang at sea.

It is said that the copyright of that incident was bought by a film company and turned into a movie, which is said to be released in July.

After that incident, Kate gained a great reputation both inside and outside the circle.

It also transformed her from an unknown news writer to a well-known reporter.

But what really made her soar was the last hotel hijacking incident.

Crime syndicates attacked and held hundreds of people hostage, and Kate filmed much of the process.

This also earned her the honor of being the best journalist of the year.

Almost all media and reporters in Los Angeles will give her face.

She may not be too rich, but her energy is not even worse than that of a politician.

Even politicians dare not offend Kate.

Kate immediately picked up the phone and started calling her colleagues.

"Hey, Juan, leave me ten minutes for the midday news you're hosting tomorrow."

"Kate, I can't make the decision on this matter. The content of tomorrow's news has already been decided."

"Well, it seems you don't want breaking news, so let's do it."

"What? Wait... Do you have breaking news again? I know, I know... I will tell the supervisor."

After identifying a TV station, Kate called a friend at another TV station.

One, two, three...

and the Los Angeles Times, her former regular customer.

Although she is not the news editor of the Los Angeles Times, her words may be more effective than the news editor.

In addition to printing newspapers every day, the Los Angeles Times will also print additional issues if there is breaking news.

Kate called the boss of the Los Angeles Times, who readily agreed.

The effect of a thousand bombs exploding one by one is far less violent than the effect of simultaneous explosions.

Kate is preparing here, and Chen Zhao is also making plans: "Johnny, come to my house, tomorrow afternoon, no matter what you have to do, you must come."

"Can you tell me what you want to do?"

"Wine Tasting."
