This Bad Luck is Awesome!

"Congratulations."

Chen Mo took a sip of his tea and smiled faintly.

The more complicated the case, and the more industries and people it involved, the greater the credit.

And that meant Feng Yu would get a bigger share of it.

Making it easier for her to get promoted.

"Ah, it’s all thanks to you."

Feng Yu looked at Chen Mo gratefully, a little embarrassed on her spirited, pretty face.

In reality, sometimes it all came down to a single opportunity.

Any of her other colleagues could have handled a case like this just as beautifully if they’d been given the chance.

But you just don’t run into cases like this normally, so there’s nothing you can do.

Chen Mo, however, did run into them. And frequently, at that.

It was by riding his coattails that she’d been getting these kinds of opportunities so often lately.

"We’re just helping each other out."

Chen Mo waved his hand dismissively. He didn’t feel like Feng Yu was just riding his coattails.

After all, Feng Yu had helped him out plenty of times too.

Even though it was part of her job, it still felt different.

Theirs was a relationship of mutual support. They both had bright futures ahead.

The two chatted for a while before the dishes they ordered arrived.

Chen Mo glanced at them; they were all rather distinctive dishes.

For example, the pork rib and lotus root soup was something he had grown up drinking.

"Try this soup. It should be pretty good."

Chen Mo ladled a bowl of the lotus root soup for Feng Yu, recommending it with a smile.

This kind of soup used a special, starchy lotus root from his region, which was perfect for making soup.

"Thank you."

After accepting it, Feng Yu took a small sip.

"Mm, this is really good."

Her eyes lit up after tasting it, and she nodded repeatedly in praise.

She knew Chen Mo was from the Jiangcheng area, so she had specifically chosen a specialty Huai Cuisine restaurant she found online.

The online reviews looked good, but she had never eaten there herself, so she didn’t know how it would actually taste.

It seemed the flavor was excellent after all.

"Right?"

Chen Mo also ladled a bowl for himself, blew on it to cool it down, and started to drink.

After a few sips, he nodded in satisfaction.

’Yep, this is the taste of home.’

"Oh, right. I saw the news a few days ago. You helped up an old lady, and her family gave you a three-million-yuan reward?"

As they ate their meal and drank their soup, Feng Yu suddenly remembered something. She glanced at Chen Mo, her pretty eyes filled with curiosity.

She had recognized Chen Mo instantly in that video.

And the car looked very familiar, too.

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Chen Mo took a sip of soup and nodded.

"You really are something else. People are practically handing you money on the street."

Feng Yu gave him an envious look and shook her head with a sense of resignation.

She didn’t even know how to describe Chen Mo’s luck anymore.

It was just unreasonably absurd.

Just by helping up an old lady, he could make three million.

He was like a walking treasure chest.

"I was taking a risk too, you know,"

Chen Mo said, raising an eyebrow.

"Fair enough."

Thinking it over, Feng Yu realized he was right.

Chen Mo wasn’t the first person to see the old lady collapsed on the ground.

It was just that the people around thought it was too risky and didn’t go help her.

Chen Mo went and helped her, so of course he deserved the three million.

"You mentioned you wanted to buy that villa last time. Did you get it?"

Feng Yu remembered Chen Mo asking her about the foreclosed property and asked curiously.

"I bought it. The transfer is complete, the property deeds are all sorted, and I plan to move in in a few days."

Speaking of which, Chen Mo smiled and updated her on the situation.

If Feng Yu hadn’t told him about the original owner’s situation, he might not have bought the villa.

And he certainly wouldn’t have snagged such a bargain.

As for the calligraphy, paintings, and gold bars in the wall, they would have had nothing to do with him either.

"Good. You can move in with peace of mind. There won’t be any trouble."

"At the end of the month, Cen Weifeng is going to..."

Feng Yu nodded, giving him a meaningful look as she spoke.

"Thanks."

Although Feng Yu didn’t say it outright, Chen Mo understood what she meant.

Clearly, Cen Weifeng’s life was going to come to an end by the end of the month.

Not naturally, of course.

Someone was going to help it along.

Once Cen Weifeng was gone, there would be no more problems with the villa.

And that goes double for the things inside the walls.

’You say there’s something in the walls?’

’Fine, go get Cen Weifeng to sue me.’

’If you can find him, I’ll admit defeat.’

The two didn’t continue on this topic and started talking about other things.

"My colleague was saying some rich guy lost his cat and offered a two-million-yuan reward for it."

Feng Yu started gossiping with Chen Mo, sharing a piece of news she’d heard that day with great interest.

"I know about that."

Hearing this, Chen Mo nodded. He felt an urge to laugh.

"I heard the cat’s already been found. I wonder who was lucky enough to get that two million."

Feng Yu sighed wistfully. Getting two million just for finding a cat... that person’s luck was simply unbeatable.

"That would be me."

Chen Mo couldn’t hold back his laughter and admitted it outright.

"Huh?"

Feng Yu’s pretty face froze. Her mouth fell slightly open, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

’Could it be such a coincidence?’

’She had just shared this piece of gossip with Chen Mo, and it turns out he was the main character?’

"Here’s what happened..."

Chen Mo briefly explained the situation to her.

"Well, if it’s you, then I’m not surprised."

The expression on Feng Yu’s spirited, pretty face was one of complete numbness.

The cat crawled into Chen Mo’s car on its own, basically handing him two million yuan.

’Who else besides Chen Mo could have such absurd luck?’

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Feng Yu paid the bill.

The two of them left the restaurant together.

"Thanks for dinner today."

Arriving at the parking lot, Chen Mo turned to Feng Yu and thanked her with a smile.

"You should go out more often. I’ll be waiting for your call anytime, haha."

"I don’t want to answer anyone else’s calls, but I’ll pick up yours 24/7."

Feng Yu said with a charming smile, joking with him.

When Chen Mo called her, it was usually because he’d run into some kind of trouble.
