This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Supervisor Zhang, Old Liu, and the others felt like clowns.

All those meaningful glances and unspoken coordination from before.

They thought they had Chen Mo right where they wanted him.

But Chen Mo countered by calling the police and producing a video.

They were left completely speechless.

It made all their previous petty schemes and tricks look like a joke.

"Something like that happened?"

Hearing this, Feng Yu was also a little surprised.

’Chen Mo’s new car suffered brake failure before it even left the dealership?’

’It’s a good thing it happened inside the store. If the brakes had failed on the road, it would have been incredibly dangerous.’

"What can I say? I’m just unlucky."

Chen Mo shrugged helplessly.

"Mr. Chen, you said you recorded a video. Could we see it?"

Supervisor Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking.

’Things have already come to this. We have to face the music, for better or worse.’

’Let’s just see the video first.’

"Of course."

With Feng Yu present, Chen Mo naturally had no reason to refuse.

Then, Chen Mo tapped his pocket3 a few times and started playing the recording.

Feng Yu and Supervisor Zhang stood on either side of him, watching intently.

Supervisor Zhang, in particular, was completely focused, his eyes glued to the screen, not daring to blink.

Chen Mo adjusted the playback, skipping to the ten seconds before the crash.

Seeing this, Supervisor Zhang held his breath, his heart starting to beat a little faster.

Soon, the screen clearly showed the process of Chen Mo’s car crashing straight into the wall.

The footage of Old Liu repeatedly stomping on the brake pedal and pulling the electronic handbrake was exceptionally clear.

In the 4K 120fps footage, Old Liu had his foot pressed all the way to the floor on the brake pedal.

But the car’s speed didn’t decrease at all as it smashed straight into the wall!

After watching, the heart that was caught in Supervisor Zhang’s throat finally dropped.

Well, it dropped from the 30th floor to the 1st.

And shattered into a million pieces.

"Old Liu, is your memory a little clearer now?"

Chen Mo asked, looking at his salesperson, Old Liu, with a playful tone.

"I was a bit dazed just now, but I’m starting to remember."

Old Liu looked ashamed, not quite daring to meet Chen Mo’s eyes.

"So, can you admit it was the car’s problem now?"

Chen Mo then shot a cold smirk at Supervisor Zhang.

"Well... probably... perhaps... it might be?"

"Mr. Chen, I don’t think I can handle this. I’ll go get our store manager to discuss a compensation plan with you."

After watching the video, Supervisor Zhang was at a loss for words.

This matter was now beyond what a mere sales supervisor like him could resolve.

So, he just threw in the towel.

And started calling for backup.

As he went to find the manager, he grumbled to himself.

’Damn it, what brand is this action camera? The picture quality is so damn clear.’

’Also, vlogging is definitely banned in the store from now on!’

’No, wait. If this isn’t handled properly, I don’t even know if this dealership will still exist.’

"Officer Feng, sorry to have troubled you with this trip."

Seeing the supervisor go to call for backup, Chen Mo turned and thanked Feng Yu with a smile.

He also smiled and nodded at the colleague who came with her.

Although police would have come no matter what since he called, Feng Yu’s presence gave him a greater sense of security.

After all, they had "cooperated" twice now and had built a sense of trust.

’She’s an acquaintance, so it’s more reassuring.’

"It’s what we’re supposed to do."

"Besides, thanks to you, I’ve got an extra star on my shoulder."

Feng Yu waved her hand with a grin, then gestured toward her shoulder with her fair chin.

She actually had Chen Mo to thank for it.

Last time, she was the one who handled the report on the spy on the floor above Chen Mo.

She had earned merit for that case and was promoted just a few days ago.

"Congratulations, then."

Only then did Chen Mo notice the extra silver star shining on her epaulet.

’Considering her age, her future is limitless.’

"Oh, right. That thing about combining three commendation banners into a two-star banner came through. You should be getting a certificate in a few days."

Feng Yu seemed to remember something and said to Chen Mo.

"Thank you so much. I’ll continue to uphold the spirit of a good Samaritan."

Hearing this, a broad smile appeared on Chen Mo’s face.

Feng Yu had mentioned this to him last time—helping him apply for a Modu Model Good Samaritan award.

He hadn’t paid it much mind back then, but it had actually come through.

’Feng Yu must have put in a lot of effort. Her background is probably quite impressive, too.’

’With this on top of everything else, it looks like I’ll have to treat her to a meal to thank her properly.’

"Mr. Chen, you’ve been doing well for yourself lately. This car isn’t cheap."

Feng Yu glanced at the crashed Laycan, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Back when Chen Mo caught Wanted Criminal A, he was still a delivery driver. Now he was buying a luxury car worth over a million.

"Well, there were those two rewards, and I made a little extra from stock trading."

Chen Mo smiled reservedly at Feng Yu.

"Looks like you’re about to make another sum today."

Feng Yu said with a meaningful smile.

Hearing this, Chen Mo just smiled without saying a word.

’It was a tacit understanding.’

Soon, Supervisor Zhang returned with a man in his fifties with a receding hairline.

This man was the store manager.

"Mr. Chen, Officer Feng, hello. I’m the manager of this dealership."

"I’m terribly sorry that the new car you purchased from us has experienced such a major issue. We have betrayed the trust you placed in our brand."

"We can discuss this in detail in the conference room. Please believe that we will definitely offer you a satisfactory compensation plan."

The manager adopted a very humble posture and spoke to Chen Mo and Feng Yu with great sincerity.

He had already learned the whole situation from Supervisor Zhang.

When Supervisor Zhang first found him, he had been leisurely sipping tea in his office.

When Supervisor Zhang told him that a customer had spent 1.47 million on one of their cars, only for the brakes to fail and crash into a wall before even leaving the dealership...

...and that the entire process was recorded with an ultra-HD action camera, and now even the police were here...

...his hand holding the teacup couldn’t help but tremble slightly, and the scalding tea he had just brought to his lips spilled all over his lap.

It burned him so badly he almost tore out the last few hairs on his head.

But he couldn’t be bothered with his scalded thigh or the hairs he’d nearly ripped out.

His mind was completely preoccupied with how to properly resolve this matter.

If this wasn’t handled well, he, the store manager, would definitely be the first one to go down.

"I think we should send the car to a third-party inspection agency first to find the cause."

Hearing this, Chen Mo wasn’t in a hurry to discuss compensation; instead, he suggested getting an inspection.

He had the video now.

If he also had an inspection report from a third-party agency confirming the brake failure, his case would be absolutely foolproof.

"Is that really necessary?"

The manager’s tone was a bit troubled.

’You already have the video, which proves it’s the car’s fault, and we’ve already admitted it.’

’Why go get an inspection?’

’That would only let more people know that our new cars have a major safety defect.’

"If you’re determined to know the cause, we have professional engineers in-house who can also perform the inspection."

"Please rest assured. With Officer Feng present and the video in your possession, there won’t be any funny business."

The manager thought for a moment before asking Chen Mo tentatively.

Previously, if their own dealership did the inspection, they might have tampered with it.

But now the facts were all laid out. Tampering with it now would just be shooting themselves in the foot, wouldn’t it?

"That works."

Chen Mo thought that made sense and nodded.

The manager quickly arranged for two engineers to inspect the car’s computer, and everyone gathered around to watch.

"SNIFF~"

"SNIFF~"

After a while, someone sniffed the air a few times, as if they had smelled something.

"The car is smoking!"

Someone suddenly saw puffs of white smoke coming from under the chassis of Chen Mo’s Mamba-colored Laycan and couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

The shout drew everyone’s attention, and they immediately looked under the car.

Sure enough, thick white smoke was billowing out from under the chassis.

Within seconds, the area around the car was shrouded in smoke.

"I think the battery is spontaneously combusting!"

Chen Mo saw a flicker of flame and was slightly startled.

He quickly pulled Feng Yu back a few steps.

Soon, that flicker of flame was like a spark landing in a ball of dry, fluffy cotton.

It instantly erupted into a blaze, and the roaring fire quickly engulfed the entire car.

The car’s Mamba color was completely obscured.

Seeing this, Chen Mo was left somewhat dumbfounded.

’Not Lao Da?’

’Is it really this cursed?’
