This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Feng Yu was questioning Xiaoliu, asking who else knew he had packed valuable items from Chen Mo’s home.

Meanwhile, her colleague was reviewing the security footage with the station manager.

It wasn’t a particularly complicated case to begin with, especially since they had surveillance video.

So, by combining the security footage and Xiaoliu’s recollection, they quickly identified a suspect.

The suspect was another courier from the same station who had just returned from a delivery run.

After a brief interrogation by Feng Yu and her colleague, he confessed everything.

He had overheard Xiaoliu mention that a customer was shipping valuable goods worth around 300,000 yuan, with the rare liquor and tobacco alone valued at over 100,000.

So, he hatched a devious plan.

He had recently gotten into gambling and lost a lot of money, and his wife was threatening to divorce him.

And as it happened, he had a cousin who specialized in selling counterfeit liquor and tobacco—fakes that were visually indistinguishable from the real thing.

This gave him a bold idea.

He would take the real liquor and tobacco out of the package and replace them with fakes.

’Even after the package is signed for, they might not even realize it’s fake.’

’And even if they do, they can’t make a fuss without any proof.’

He knew that as long as he wasn’t caught in the act, he would probably be fine.

So, after Xiaoliu went out to make deliveries, he secretly took the box Xiaoliu had packed, treating it like a package he was supposed to deliver.

He moved it to his own vehicle, slit the packing tape on the bottom where there was no shipping label, and took out all the wrapped liquor and tobacco from inside.

He then took the stolen goods to his cousin.

His cousin only needed a quick glance to confirm that the liquor and tobacco were all genuine.

He then bought the items from him at a price below market value.

In turn, Hu Chao bought identical-looking fakes from his cousin at a low price and put them back into the box.

After sealing it with packing tape, he returned the box to the station.

And just like that, he had swapped out the liquor and tobacco in Chen Mo’s package.

"Hu Chao, you motherf—"

After hearing the confession, the station manager was so furious he grabbed a chair and was about to go at him.

"Calm down."

Feng Yu’s voice was sharp as she witnessed the scene.

Hearing Feng Yu, the station manager remembered she was still there and immediately calmed himself.

"Sorry, sorry. I was just so angry..."

The station manager took a few deep breaths, managing to suppress some of his rage.

He had been hoping the swap hadn’t happened at his station, but sometime after the package left.

That would have lessened the impact on him.

But since Hu Chao did it, the responsibility fell entirely on their station.

He had worked so hard to become station manager, and now this one move by Hu Chao could cost him his job.

’How could he not want to beat someone up?’

"The investigation is complete. One of your own employees secretly swapped Mr. Chen’s valuables, causing him a loss. Now it’s up to you to discuss how to compensate him."

"We’re taking Hu Chao with us. He’s suspected of theft, and the amount involved is substantial."

Feng Yu looked at the station manager and briefly explained the situation.

"Yes, of course. Don’t worry, we guarantee we will satisfy Mr. Chen."

"As for Hu Chao, please, take him away. I fully support your work."

The station manager nodded repeatedly. Just looking at Hu Chao made him want to hit the man; he couldn’t wait for Feng Yu to take him away.

’Once they take him, he probably won’t be getting out for several years.’

’Didn’t she say it? Suspected of theft, substantial amount.’

That meant a sentence of at least three to ten years, plus a fine.

As for compensating Chen Mo, Feng Yu didn’t even need to say it. They definitely had to pay.

If they couldn’t appease Chen Mo, this whole affair would be far from over.

"Call the squad. Get a few people over here to take down that counterfeit liquor and tobacco seller."

Feng Yu then turned to her colleague, her voice full of anticipation.

Hu Chao’s cousin sold fake liquor and tobacco, and the amounts involved weren’t small.

’Why not follow the lead and arrest him now? What are we waiting for, Christmas?’

’How am I supposed to get promoted if I don’t make arrests?’

She was starting to think Chen Mo’s luck was invincible.

Even shipping a simple package led to a swap, and now the express company would probably have to pay him a hefty sum in compensation.

And thanks to this incident, she was getting to ride on some of Chen Mo’s good fortune.

At the thought of taking down Hu Chao’s cousin’s entire operation, she could practically smell a promotion.

Besides, once they took Hu Chao back, they could interrogate him further. They might even be able to dig into his gambling connections.

"Got it."

Her colleague immediately started making calls for backup.

While her colleague was on the phone, she also called Chen Mo.

*RING~*

At that moment, Chen Mo was at home, searching for information about Shuntong Express.

When he saw his phone ring, he noticed it was a call from Feng Yu.

He immediately understood that there must be news.

"Hello?"

He answered the call right away.

"Chen Mo, we’ve cleared things up. A courier at their station found out about the valuable liquor and tobacco in your package and secretly swapped them."

"We’ve already arrested him. I have something else to take care of now, but I’ll send you the documents and return your things when I’m done."

Feng Yu’s voice came quickly from the other end of the line, explaining the results of the investigation and the subsequent procedures.

"Great, thank you so much. I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re finished."

A smile instantly spread across Chen Mo’s face as he thanked her.

’With the police investigation report as evidence, the express company won’t have a leg to stand on.’

"I should be thanking you. This case led us to something else."

"I’ll find you when I’m done, and I’ll treat you to dinner."
