This Bad Luck is Awesome!

After playing some games, he had lunch at home.

DING~

"Mr. Chen, the ownership transfer for your villa has been completed. The property is now registered in your name."

After finishing lunch, he saw a message from the agent he had hired.

"That fast?"

Chen Mo was taken aback, genuinely surprised.

"Guaranteed. We said three days, and we meant it. In our line of work, integrity is key."

The agent replied immediately.

Reading the agent’s message, Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.

He felt his decision to hire an agent to handle the paperwork had been incredibly smart.

’This guy really has connections.’

’He said it would be done in three days, and he actually did it.’

’It just goes to show you shouldn’t underestimate anyone. The fact that he was confident enough to take the job meant he had the skills to pull it off.’

"OK, I’ll send you the final payment."

Chen Mo didn’t waste any time. The agent had completed the transfer, so he promptly sent the payment.

"Mr. Chen, do you need us to process the property title certificate as well? We guarantee we can get it for you in five days."

After receiving the money, the agent immediately pitched another service.

Of course, he meant processing a legitimate certificate, not a fake one.

"Sure."

Of course, Chen Mo wasn’t going to refuse.

"OK, I’ll let you know what documents I need."

The agent was more than happy to work with a client like Chen Mo—prompt with payment and low-maintenance.

After ending his chat with the agent, Chen Mo started looking for housekeeping companies online.

The large villa had been vacant for some time, so it was quite dusty inside.

Plus, the court had brought several groups of people through for viewings.

It would definitely need a massive deep clean before he could move in.

A job like this naturally called for a professional cleaning service.

Just cleaning the spiral chandelier hanging from the eight-meter-high ceiling of the living room would require professional scaffolding, to say nothing of everything else.

A regular cleaning service just couldn’t handle a job like that.

After finding a large cleaning company and arranging things with them, Chen Mo went downstairs and drove to the villa.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance to the villa community.

After showing the auction confirmation letter from the court to the property management staff, they registered his license plate.

This way, he could drive straight through the gate next time.

They also registered his contact information so they could reach him in an emergency.

He parked the car in the villa’s garage and used the key to open the front door.

’I’ll get the lock changed in a few days. Using a key is so inconvenient.’

Chen Mo planned to replace it with a high-end fingerprint and keypad lock.

The villa probably had a keypad lock before; the court must have replaced it with one that only uses a key.

After waiting in the villa for a short while, he got a call from property management. They said a cleaning company was at the gate and wanted to confirm if he was the one who had called them.

Only after Chen Mo confirmed it did the security guard let the cleaning crew through.

’The property management in a high-end villa community really is different.’

A faint smile touched Chen Mo’s lips as he hung up the phone.

No wonder people say the nicer the neighborhood, the better the service from property management.

After all, the residents were all rich and powerful. There was no telling who might be a major figure.

If property management got on the wrong side of these homeowners, their jobs would become very difficult.

Of course, the main reason was that the management fees were absurdly high.

If the original owner hadn’t paid thirty years of management fees in one go, Chen Mo would have had to shell out a hefty sum for them every year.

When you charge such high fees, the service and security had better be top-notch.

If they just took the money and didn’t do their jobs, you could bet the big shots living here would come after them.

Soon, the roar of a small, blue-plated truck sounded at the door. The cleaning crew had arrived.

’You had to hand it to them; they were a professional team.’

A sizable crew showed up, and they had every cleaning tool imaginable.

As soon as they were inside, they expertly got to work.

They assigned people to clean the third, second, and first floors, as well as the basement, all at the same time.

As for the villa’s utilities, Chen Mo had already looked into them.

The original owner had prepaid a substantial amount for water, electricity, and gas—at least enough to last for more than ten years.

The wildest part was that he discovered the villa still had an internet connection.

The original owner must have set up the broadband using his own phone number.

Even though the guy was in prison and couldn’t get out, couldn’t use a phone, and couldn’t make calls, he must have prepaid a large amount for his phone bill, because the number was still active.

That meant the broadband plan was still running, which was why the villa had internet.

And it wasn’t a slow connection, either. Chen Mo ran a speed test and found it was at least a gigabit connection.

’Talk about milking it for all it’s worth.’

Chen Mo found it hilarious.

Other than the purchase price of the house and the necessary taxes, he was basically getting the management fees, utilities, and broadband for free.

And who knew how much credit was still on the original owner’s phone plan.

But judging by the original owner’s habit of prepaying his management and utility fees, he had probably loaded up the phone account with a lot of money too.

He couldn’t make calls from prison, so there were no other charges on the bill.

If the balance was only being used to pay for the broadband plan, it would probably last for years.

If there was any chance of the original owner getting out, Chen Mo wouldn’t have used the internet service tied to his phone number.

But since the guy was never getting out, it would be a waste not to use it.

The villa was so large that even with the sizable crew the cleaning company brought, it still took them until evening to give the entire place a thorough cleaning from top to bottom.

He flipped on the lights.

’Now this is more like it.’

A look of satisfaction appeared in Chen Mo’s eyes as he gazed at the spotless villa, a faint, fresh scent now perfuming the air.

Chen Mo opened all the windows in the villa, including the large French doors on the balcony.

The house had been vacant and sealed up for some time.
