This Bad Luck is Awesome!

The staff led everyone out of the villa complex.

"This villa will be officially auctioned next Monday. If you’re interested, you can participate in the auction."

After this brief explanation, the staff member left.

Then, everyone got into their own cars and went their separate ways.

"We should go, too."

Chen Mo took out his keys and unlocked the 911.

"Whoa! A 911!"

Wei Luyao gasped when she saw the supercar’s headlights flash on.

"I’ve only ever been in one of these in Peacekeeper Elite. I never thought I’d get to ride in one in real life."

She felt like she had seen and experienced so much just by going out with Chen Mo today.

"Get in. Let’s go get something to eat."

Chen Mo smiled and got into the driver’s seat.

Wei Luyao obediently got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked around the car’s interior.

VRMMMM~

Chen Mo stepped on the gas, and the red supercar zipped away from the villa complex.

As they drove, Wei Luyao kept turning to glance at Chen Mo.

"I’ll have to start charging if you keep looking."

Chen Mo glanced at her and said with a smile.

"I still find it a little hard to believe. The random gaming buddy I found online drives a supercar and lives in a huge villa?"

Wei Luyao looked away, a dazed expression flickering across her youthful, pretty face.

’This feels like I’m in one of those female-oriented romance novels,’ she thought. ’It’s too surreal.’

"Does it make a difference? We still play games when we’re supposed to play games."

"Does driving a supercar make my aim any faster?"

Chen Mo chuckled, speaking in a casual tone.

"That’s true, haha. Even if some billionaire starts a match with a ten-billion gold lead, his Jhin will still only have four bullets."

Wei Luyao laughed at Chen Mo’s words.

"I just didn’t expect that someone as rich as you would still make your junior give you gun skins!"

Wei Luyao then recalled her gaming experiences over the past few days and couldn’t help but look at him and roast him.

"If it’s free, why not take it?"

Chen Mo glanced at her and said flatly.

"That makes sense too."

Wei Luyao was convinced by Chen Mo.

After chatting for a while, Chen Mo thought back to the issue from the house viewing earlier.

"You said there was a problem with the original owner. What kind of problem?"

"My senior said the original owner was very influential in Modu. Even though he’s in prison now, people are worried his associates on the outside will cause trouble, so no one dares to buy it."

Wei Luyao relayed the information her senior had told her to Chen Mo, word for word.

"What’s his name?"

"The owner on the property deed is Qin Meiqi, but the real owner is actually Cen Weifeng."

"Qin Meiqi is his mistress."

Wei Luyao flipped through her notebook and explained to Chen Mo.

"Cen Weifeng?"

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback when he heard the name.

He seemed to have heard of this person before but couldn’t quite recall at the moment.

"He’s the one who got put away a while ago. He was in the underworld."

Wei Luyao reminded him.

Her professor had mentioned this case to them before, so she remembered it.

Hearing this, Chen Mo immediately remembered.

He had seen the news a while ago. This man was in the underworld and wielded great power.

But he eventually went too far and was taken down.

Although he was already in prison, no one knew if he still had associates on the outside.

If someone were to buy his house, they might be in danger later on.

That’s why it failed to sell at the first auction.

Even though many people came to view the house this time, no one was a fool. They would definitely do their own digging.

Once they found out it was Cen Weifeng’s house, they would probably all get cold feet.

"You don’t have to buy this specific villa. I feel like it’s still a bit risky."

"Not in a legal sense, but..."

Wei Luyao glanced at him, offering a well-intentioned warning.

"I know."

Chen Mo nodded.

He was also considering it. Although his unique constitution wasn’t afraid of bad luck...

...he didn’t want to get involved with people like that either.

After that, Chen Mo drove directly to a Haidilao.

"Order whatever you want. Anything you feel like eating."

Chen Mo said to her with a smile.

He had promised her two Haidilao meals, so of course, he had to deliver.

"Thanks, boss!"

Wei Luyao picked up the tablet and started ordering.

After eating cafeteria food for so long, she could finally have a decent meal.

While she was ordering, Chen Mo took out his phone and opened WeChat.

"Do you know anything about Cen Weifeng? I’m thinking of buying his foreclosed property. Is it risky?"

Chen Mo sent a message to Feng Yu.

He thought Feng Yu might know something about the case.

"I know of him, but I’m not too familiar with the details. I’ll ask around when I get home."

"I have tomorrow off. I’ll treat you to a meal, and we can talk about it in person then."

Feng Yu replied quickly.

"OK, thanks."

A thoughtful look flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes.

’Ask around when she gets home?’

’She’s not so simple, is she.’

Soon, the dishes Wei Luyao ordered were brought to the table.

She eagerly put the ingredients into the broth.

The two of them chatted as they ate.

"Where are you from?"

Chen Mo took a bite. The tomato broth at Haidilao tasted pretty good.

"Jinan."

PFFFT~

Wei Luyao’s cheeks puffed out as she blew on a piece of shrimp paste before popping it into her mouth.

"Ah, from the Daming Lake Shore."

"Too bad my last name isn’t Xia."

Wei Luyao instantly got his joke and replied with a grin.

"After you graduate, will you stay in Modu or go back home?"

"My parents want me to go home and take the civil service exam, but I want to stay in Modu, join a law firm, and eventually make partner."

Wei Luyao said with a determined tone.

She hadn’t been so sure before.

But after seeing the huge villa and riding in the supercar today, she had solidified her resolve.

She also wanted to earn her own money and live a better life.

But the legal profession follows the 80/20 rule: twenty percent of the people earn eighty percent of the money in the entire industry.

Only by reaching the top could she achieve financial freedom.

"Good luck."

Chen Mo nodded.

’Whether she succeeds or not is another matter. The important thing is to follow the path you’ve chosen for yourself.’

After dinner, Chen Mo drove her back to school.

"Thanks for today. Just let me know whenever you want Haidilao again."

Chen Mo smiled, waved at her, and drove away.

Full and happy, Wei Luyao cheerfully walked toward her dorm, carrying her canvas bag.

When she got back to her dorm, she found all her roommates staring at her with expressions of surprise and curiosity.

"What’s with the looks?"

Wei Luyao was taken aback. ’Why does it feel like I’ve walked into a wolf den?’

"Luyao, we heard you came back in a supercar?"

"Is the guy who drives the supercar your online boyfriend?"

"How do you find a boyfriend with a supercar online? Teach us!"

Her roommates immediately swarmed her, chirping questions in her ear.

"What’s going on?"

Wei Luyao was baffled. How did Chen Mo suddenly become her "online boyfriend"?

"Look at the school forum! It’s flooded with posts about you."

A roommate handed her a phone. Wei Luyao’s eyes widened as she looked at it.

"SHOCKING! The Campus Belle Has Been Snatched Up by a Rich Guy!"

"HEARTBROKEN! In the End, the Campus Belle Still Ended Up in the Passenger Seat of a 911!"

"Here’s the proof! I’m officially heartbroken!"

"..."

Seeing the forum flooded with posts about her, along with photos of Chen Mo dropping her off at school...

Wei Luyao became a little angry. ’Aren’t they just spreading baseless rumors?’

She didn’t really care for herself; it might even help her avoid harassment from guys at school.

She was just worried it would affect Chen Mo.

So, she immediately logged into her account and started posting clarifications on the forum.

...

「The next evening.」

Chen Mo drove to a local Shanghainese restaurant.

This was the restaurant Feng Yu had chosen; she said it was very good.

After parking his car, Chen Mo followed the private room number Feng Yu had sent him and found the room she had booked.

He pushed open the door and saw Feng Yu, dressed in casual clothes, sitting inside.

"You’re here? Have a seat."

Seeing him arrive, Feng Yu stood up and said with a smile.

"Finished with work?"

Chen Mo asked after sitting down.

"Mhm, the two leads that came from Hu Chao’s case are all wrapped up."

Feng Yu was in a good mood and poured him a cup of tea.

Thanks to Chen Mo, she had managed to score another minor achievement.

"Congratulations."

Chen Mo smiled and congratulated her.

"It might not be the best thing to say, but I hope you have more of that bizarre luck of yours, haha."

Feng Yu smiled sweetly and joked with him.

"That’s not something I can control."

Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle, shrugging his shoulders.

If he could control when and where his bad luck struck...

...he would have achieved financial freedom long ago.

After they chatted for a bit, Feng Yu’s pretty face suddenly turned serious.

"About that thing you mentioned yesterday, I asked around for you."

"Don’t worry. Go ahead and buy it. There won’t be any trouble."

Feng Yu said with a voice full of confidence.
