Demons Beside You

Chapter 267: A Super Troublesome Client

Chen Zhao’s victory pacified those incited members of the fitness center.

By the time he returned home, it was already eight at night.

“Chen, what happened to your face? You really smell of alcohol.”

Chen Zhao touched his face. While his homemade medicine was excellent, it still could not remove the bruise in just a few hours.

“It was an accident in the fitness center.”

“Is it your very strong coach?” Fali had heard from Chen Zhao that his coach was extremely powerful.

She would not be surprised if the answer was yes.

“No.”

“So whoever caused it is more injured, right?”

Fali clearly hoped that her man was stronger. If he was injured, his opponent had to be more badly injured.

She did not say that he should be peaceful and be bullied in silence.

“I promise it’ll be a trauma in his life.”

“That’s my man. Go and take a shower. It’s already so late.” Fali patted Chen Zhao’s shoulder and made eyes at him.

At this inappropriate time, the phone rang.

Chen Zhao picked it up. “Ethan, do not tell me that there’s a client at this hour.”

“Bingo.”

“I’m not taking it. I’m tired.”

“The client offers fifty thousand.”

Chen Zhao began to hesitate. He really did not want to go out.

However, fifty thousand was not a small amount.

“You have another client?” Fali asked.

“Yup.”

“You just had some alcohol. Let me drive you there.”

“No need. I’ll get a cab myself.”

“Isn’t that troublesome?” They were living in a hillside villa, not by the roads.

No cars would pass by the villa. Usually, Chen Zhao would either drive his own car or ask Fali to drive him.

Since Chen Zhao had some alcohol, Fali would certainly not allow him to drive.

“Alright then.”

“Where is it?”

“Hilton Hotel,” Chen Zhao said.

Hearing that it was a hotel, Fali felt much more relieved.

She knew that Chen Zhao had all kinds of clients. If Chen Zhao was going to meet some unknown client at this hour, she would be very worried.

Since it was a hotel, there should not be a problem.

Fali and Chen Zhao arrived at the Hilton Hotel together. Instead of going up with Chen Zhao, Fali would wait for him in the lobby.

“Be quick. I’ll wait for you here.”

“Let’s go together.”

“No, I’ll sit here. Your client may not want to see another person. I don’t want to get you into trouble.”

Chen Zhao thought about it and eventually accepted Fali’s suggestion.

Some clients were indeed more troublesome to deal with. Fali was not a doctor, so the client might not want her to be present.

Chen Zhao entered an elevator. Just then, two more people walked in one after another.

One of them looked like a rich lady. Noticing the smell of alcohol on Chen Zhao’s body, she took two steps back subconsciously.

The other person was wearing a hood. As he walked into the elevator, he glanced at Chen Zhao and the rich lady.

When the elevator stopped at the fifth floor, the hooded man suddenly snatched the rich lady’s handbag and charged out of the elevator.

Chen Zhao stuck his leg out. The hooded man immediately fell onto the floor.

Enraged, the hooded man took out a dagger and dashed toward Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao grabbed the man’s arm and twisted it. The hooded man screamed in misery. His arm bone had just been fractured.

Chen Zhao took the handbag and returned it to the rich lady. “Madam, it’s yours.”

“Thank you.” Smiling, the rich lady took the handbag. She just started to inspect Chen Zhao. “Are you a doctor?”

“Yes.”

“Is your patient here?”

“Yeah.”

Chen Zhao and the rich lady exited the elevator on the same floor. He realized that the lady stayed right opposite his client.

Chen Zhao knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened.

A middle-aged man with a thick beard was standing by the door with a bath towel. He stared at Chen Zhao with an unfriendly look.

“Who are you?”

“The doctor.”

“Are you drunk? I need a doctor, not an alcoholic.”

Because of the bearded man’s poor attitude, Chen Zhao’s face also turned cold. “That’s none of your business. If you don’t need me, I’ll leave now.”

“Come back,” the bearded man shouted. “Come in.”

As soon as Chen Zhao entered the room, two guns were pointed against the back of his head.

Behind Chen Zhao were two bodyguards in black jacket. They were still wearing sunglasses at night.

“Mr., what do you mean?”

“You’re here to treat me, but I need to ensure my own safety too.”

“I don’t get it.”

“I don’t know if you can be trusted.”

“You called me here, and then you tell me you don’t trust me? Are you kidding me?”

The bearded man looked at Chen Zhao emotionlessly. “I’m not kidding. Do you know what floor this is? If you don’t want to be thrown out by me, you better treat me properly, or else…”

“Boss, below you…”

The bearded man lowered his head and saw a snake near his feet.

“Ah!!!” the man screamed in horror.

Chen Zhao swang his toolbox at the faces of the two bodyguards. They collapsed onto the floor at once.

Then, he raised his foot and kicked the bodyguards. They immediately fell unconscious.

Chen Zhao turned his head and stared fiercely at the bearded man, who backed away in panic.

“What do you want? If you dare to hurt me, I’ll make you pay for it.” Hearing the bearded man’s threat, Chen Zhao was even more furious.

“Do you think I should be scared?”

“How much money do you want? I’ll give you.” The bearded man kept backing away.

However, he suddenly tripped over something. He fell backward and landed hard onto the floor.

Then, he felt something climb onto him. It was that snake. The snake was before his face with its mouth wide open.

“Help… Help…” the bearded man cried in fear. “Take it away, take it away from me!”

“Why don’t you keep threatening me?”

“I… I was joking… Take it away from me…” The bearded man was very scared of snakes. His whole body was tense and he did not dare to move a bit.

Chen Zhao was still slightly drunk at the moment. He had basically been acting before thinking.

“Do you know what floor this it?”

The bearded man swallowed his saliva. “Twenty one.”

Chen Zhao squatted down before the bearded man and patted his face. “Do you know what would happen when a person falls down from the twenty first floor?”

“Die…”

“Correct. What did you say just now again? If I don’t treat you properly and you will?”

The cheeks of the bearded man twitched slightly. “Actually I was joking.”

“Just joking?”

“Yes,” the man nodded.

“Is pointing two guns at my head joking as well?”

“I was really joking.” The bearded man almost burst into tears. The cold sensation of the snake was about to make his heart stop.

“Raymond.”

Raymond suddenly opened his mouth and shot toward the man’s face.

“Ah!” the bearded man yelped.

Chen Zhao noticed the smell of urine. The bearded man had peed himself.

Chen Zhao had really been enraged by the bearded man. Only then did he leave happily.

Right after Chen Zhao left, the rich lady who stayed opposite them walked into the room and saw the mess.

“Winnip, I don’t agree! I definitely won’t allow our daughter to be with that kind of person! He is an alcoholic, a rogue, an asshole, and a robber! Do you know what he did to me? Look at Kane and Howard, look at their faces!” the bearded man cursed incessantly.

Kane and Howard were both standing at the side, covering their face. They seemed to be in a bad shape.

“Enough. Who asked you to ask them to draw their guns?”

“I don’t care. I just don’t allow my daughter to be with him.”
