Demons Beside You

The next day, Chen Zhao woke up very early.

Fali used her hand to block the sunlight that was s.h.i.+ning into the room. Despite having s.e.x for a long time last night, Chen Zhao still woke up this early.

“Chen, why are you up now?”

“Your dad and I agreed that we"ll go out and play together today, so I should prepare earlier,” Chen Zhao said. “Can you drive me to the hotel?”

“Okay.” Fali dragged her exhausted body out of the bed.

She did not expect Chen Zhao and her father to turn from enemies into best friends in just a day. Nonetheless, she was happy to see it.

“Didn"t you drive your car back yesterday?”

“I wasn"t feeling well yesterday, so I left my car with your dad.”

“You weren"t feeling well? Then why did you continue till midnight?”

“Don"t mind the details.” Chen Zhao urged Fali, who finally finished her makeup.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Dad and Mom will be here for a few days.”

“No, it has to be today,” Chen Zhao said.

“Is it a special day today?”

“It"s a secret.”

“Is it a man"s secret again?”

After they arrived at the hotel, Chen Zhao and Fali waited for the elevator.

Kane, Karim and Howard just happened to come out from the elevator. When they saw Chen Zhao and Fali, their expressions immediately changed.

“Hey, Kane, Karim, Howard. Do you miss me?”

“Err… Chen…” The three really wanted to run away. They did not want to face Chen Zhao at all.

“I have suddenly thought of a fun place to go today. Make sure you"re there.”

The three smiled bitterly. Chen Zhao put his hand on Kane"s shoulder.

Kane did not want to move, but he was still pushed back into the elevator.

“Kane, Karim and I have something else. You can go and play with Chen. Hope you"ll have fun!” Howard and Karim escaped out of the elevator.

Kane stared at the two traitors with much resentment.

Fali had still not realized the strange behaviors of Chen Zhao and Kane.

She naively thought that they were just fooling around as friends.

The men in the Coastal Rescue Team would fool with each other in similar ways.

With Kane and Fali beside him, Chen Zhao knocked on the door of Winnip"s and Laurent"s room.

“Fali, Chen, here you are.” Winnip hugged Fali. “What"s your plan for today?”

“Laurent and I agreed that we"ll go out and play together.”

“Huh?” Winnip turned her head and looked at her husband, confused. Laurent had just told her the day before that they did not have much fun.

Could he be too embarra.s.sed to tell her the truth? After all, Laurent and Chen Zhao had “restored their relations.h.i.+p” in just a day.

“Laurent, let"s go. By the way, return me my phone and car keys first.”

Laurent"s cheeks twitched. “I feel ill today. I don"t really want to go out.”

“It"s okay. Ask Chen to take a look,” Fali said. “Mom, let"s go and have breakfast.”

“Fali, don"t you have to go to work today?”

“Mom, why don"t we go to Angel Beach in the afternoon?”

“Let"s go together.” Laurent immediately wanted to follow them.

“Laurent, just let them go. We"ll play ourselves.” Smiling, Chen Zhao pressed Laurent back onto his chair. “Winnip, Fali, have fun.”

“We will. Have fun too.”

Kane and Laurent were both terror-stricken at the moment.

Chen Zhao"s face was filled with a bright smile, as if nothing had happened the day before.

However, a cold aura was being emitted from him. He clearly did not come here to play with them.

“Chen, I"m very sorry. Actually I was just joking with you yesterday.”

“I don"t mind it at all.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I really don"t mind it,” Chen Zhao nodded with a very serious and sincere expression.

“I really feel unwell today. I don"t want to go out.”

“Then I"ll go and tell Winnip and Fali what you did to me.”

“Didn"t you say you don"t mind it?” Laurent quickly stopped Chen Zhao.

“For me to not mind it, you need to play with me today.”

“You"re not going to lock me in an ice room too, right? I"m too old. You can lock Kane and the rest in though.”

“No… It"s Mr. Laurent"s idea! We"re not involved!”

“Don"t worry. I won"t lock any of you in an ice room. I won"t even hurt you. Trust me.” Chen Zhao looked sincerely at Laurent. “I really just want to repair our relations.h.i.+p, not for me, just for Fali.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“You promise you won"t lock me in an ice room?”

“Absolutely.”

“Swear in the name of G.o.d.”

“I swear in the name of G.o.d that I won"t attack you or lock you in an ice room.”

“You won"t force me to eat anything disgusting, right? Or let your pets attack me?”

“Yes. I promise I won"t.”

Despite Chen Zhao"s promises, Laurent was still worried. Kane was even more worried.

However, Laurent really did not want Winnip and Fali to know what he had done to Chen Zhao in an attempt to force Chen Zhao and Fali to breakup.

If Fali found this out, she would certainly break off all relations with Laurent.

Chen Zhao brought Laurent and Kane out of the hotel. A business car was already parked before them.

“Let"s board the car,” Chen Zhao said.

The two got onto the car and realized that Karim and Howard were there too. However, there were also a few muscular men and a female T-rex beside them.

“Hi, Karim, Howard. How are you?” Chen Zhao greeted.

Their faces were completely pale. Laurent and Kane wanted to leave the car at once, but the doors were already locked.

“Chen, you said you won"t hurt me. I"m Fali"s father. You can"t hurt me!”

“Why would I hurt you? You"re so old, after all.” Chen Zhao said to the driver, “Dot, go to the dock.”

The car arrived at the dock. Chen Zhao and Laurent left the car first.

“Chen, where are we going?”

“Out to the sea.”

“Wait… I watched the news yesterday. There will be a storm a hundred nautical miles to the west of the coast,” Laurent reminded.

Chen Zhao did not reply. Instead, he brought Laurent into the s.h.i.+p rental company.

“We need a small yacht. Laurent, lend me your credit card.”

Soon, they successfully rented a seven-meter yacht. Its original price was probably only tens of thousands and it had just one c.o.c.kpit.

With the help of Gaia and the rest, Kane, Karim, and Howard were all brought onto the yacht. Then, they set sail.

“Chen, you"re going to sink us into the sea? You know it"s illegal to kill someone here, right?”

“Please. Of course, I know that. Why would I kill someone?” Chen Zhao controlled the rudder.

“Chen, the sky ahead is dark. There"s a storm. We can"t go further.”
