This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 135: Chapter 108: Chen Mo Installed the Camera Himself?

"You just said she wasn’t looking for you, and now suddenly you have something to do?"

"Chen Mo, you bastard! You’re messing with me again!"

Before hitting play, Chen Mo deliberately held his phone a little further away.

Sure enough, Pan Kejia’s shrill voice erupted from the speaker.

"I’m really not messing with you. This time, it’s for real."

Chen Mo chuckled, shaking his head as he typed his reply.

"Really?"

Pan Kejia was a little suspicious.

"Do I need a reason to mess with you?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. ’Why doesn’t she believe me?’

"True. Let me know when you’re done. I’m going home to catch up on some sleep."

Pan Kejia thought it over and realized he had a point. Since when did Chen Mo ever need an excuse to mess with her?

Since he was really busy, she naturally had nothing more to say.

"OK."

Chen Mo smiled.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

After he had been sitting in his room for about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

He glanced through the peephole and opened the door when he saw it was Feng Yu and her colleague.

"No one’s been in, have they?"

Feng Yu asked the moment she saw him.

"No."

Chen Mo shook his head and stepped aside to let them in.

"It’s in this outlet."

Chen Mo pointed to the socket beneath the television.

"Pull the key card to cut the power. Let’s pry it open and see."

Feng Yu examined it carefully, then looked at her colleague.

They would know if there was a camera inside once they pried it open.

Since the outlet was live and they weren’t professional electricians, the only option was to pull the room’s key card to physically cut the power.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

Just as they were about to pull the card and cut the power, someone knocked on the door.

Chen Mo glanced through the peephole and saw a middle-aged man in a hotel uniform suit.

He didn’t recognize him, but he looked like hotel management.

’He probably saw Feng Yu and her colleague coming upstairs in their uniforms, assumed something was wrong, and came to check on the situation.’

’Perfect, I was just missing a witness.’

A thought seemed to occur to Chen Mo, and he opened the door with a smile.

"Hello, I’m the housekeeping manager for this hotel. May I ask if something has happened?"

After the door opened, the middle-aged man saw Chen Mo and Feng Yu with her colleague behind him, and a trace of curiosity and worry appeared in his eyes.

In the hotel industry, the thing they feared most was trouble.

Regardless of whether they were involved, any incident meant trouble for them.

The front desk had just notified him that two police officers had gone upstairs. Feeling uneasy, he had come up to see for himself.

"Yes, something has come up."

Chen Mo smiled inwardly, but on his face, he put on a grim expression.

Hearing this, the manager’s heart sank. He had a bad feeling about this.

’This ’something’ couldn’t be related to our hotel, could it?’

"There’s a hidden camera in your room."

Chen Mo didn’t beat around the bush and told him directly.

"What? How is that possible? We’re a five-star hotel. We conduct regular self-inspections..."

At these words, the manager’s expression changed. His eyes went wide, and he shook his head frantically.

Of all the taboos in the hotel industry, hidden cameras were definitely one of them.

If something like this was discovered, the impact on the hotel’s brand and reputation would be enormous.

The more high-end the hotel, the greater the damage.

That’s why he paid extremely close attention to the issue of cameras.

He was the housekeeping manager, so matters like hidden cameras fell under his purview.

He periodically arranged for his staff to inspect every single room.

He could absolutely guarantee that there were no cameras in their hotel.

Yet Chen Mo was claiming there was a camera in his room. How could that be?

His first reaction was disbelief.

"Whether there is or not isn’t up to you to say. It depends on the evidence."

"Since you’re here, let’s have a look together."

Chen Mo invited him right in, letting him see with his own eyes whether there was a camera or not.

After closing the door, Chen Mo pulled the key card from the power slot.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness.

However, Feng Yu and her colleague had flashlights, and Chen Mo helped by holding one for them.

They, in turn, used their tools to pry open the outlet.

Once it was open, Chen Mo aimed the flashlight beam inside the socket.

Soon, all four people in the room discovered a tiny hidden camera inside the pried-open outlet.

Chen Mo reinserted the key card into the power slot, and the room was instantly filled with light again.

"What is this?"

Chen Mo sneered, glancing at the manager who was frozen to the spot.

The manager stared at the camera that had just been removed from the outlet right in front of him, completely dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, he had been insisting they were a five-star hotel that conducted regular self-inspections and would absolutely not have any cameras.

And now, Chen Mo and Feng Yu had just pulled one out of an outlet right in front of him.

It was a stinging slap in the face.

He felt his face burning with humiliation.

"But we really do conduct regular inspections. I can guarantee there was no camera here before."

The manager was still unwilling to accept this fact. He cast a suspicious glance at Chen Mo.

He even started to suspect that Chen Mo might have installed it himself to deliberately blackmail them.

"Are you suspecting that I installed this camera?"

Chen Mo noticed the manager’s suspicious gaze and instantly guessed what he was thinking.

"I didn’t say that, but I have confidence in our hotel’s privacy and security."

The manager shook his head in denial, claiming he didn’t suspect Chen Mo.

But anyone who wasn’t an idiot could tell what he was thinking from his expression and tone.

Hearing this, Chen Mo let out a cold laugh but said nothing.

But in his heart, he had already made a decision.

’Just for that comment the manager made...’

’I’ll name a price. One million.’

’When we negotiate compensation later, I’m adding that one million to the total.’

’Not a single cent less!’

"If you’re suspicious, we can take it back for fingerprint analysis."

"We can also extract the video from the camera to see if there’s any previous footage."

"We can also check the other rooms one by one to determine if this is an isolated case or a widespread problem."

Seeing the manager suspect Chen Mo, Feng Yu’s brows furrowed, and she shot him a cold glare.

She knew Chen Mo quite well.

He wasn’t short on money, and he had some bizarre luck.

She believed Chen Mo had simply stumbled upon the camera in the hotel room by chance.

He wasn’t the type of person to deliberately plant a camera in an outlet for blackmail.

So, she was almost certain it was the hotel’s fault. But not only were they refusing to admit their mistake...

...they were even suspecting Chen Mo. What did they take her and her colleague for?

Did they think she and her colleague couldn’t find out whether Chen Mo had installed the damn thing?

"This..."

Feeling the pressure from Feng Yu, the manager’s face showed a look of unease.

He didn’t know what to say. Despite his repeated claims that the hotel was fine...

...in reality, he wasn’t very confident himself.

"Is anyone staying in the room next door?"

Feng Yu thought for a moment and asked him directly.

"Let me check..."

The manager took out his phone and checked on their internal system.

"No."

He shook his head.

"You have a master key card, right? Let’s go in and take a look."

Feng Yu glanced at him and said in a cold voice.

"Okay... No problem."

The manager couldn’t refuse. Feng Yu had the authority to demand it.

"You stand guard here. Don’t let anyone in."

Feng Yu, as if a thought had occurred to her, said to her colleague.

She was worried someone might come into this room and tamper with the evidence while they were next door.

"Understood."

Her colleague nodded.

Then, Chen Mo, Feng Yu, and the manager went to the door of the room next door.

BEEP!

The manager took out his master key card and swiped open the door to the adjacent room.

Without inserting a key card for power, they went straight to the outlet with a flashlight.

Feng Yu skillfully pried open the outlet.

Chen Mo, holding the flashlight, immediately saw the camera inside.

He couldn’t help but shoot the manager a smug look. ’Can’t blame me for this one too, can you?’

"What is this?"

Feng Yu pointed at the hidden camera in the outlet—the same model as the one in Chen Mo’s room—and gave the manager a cold look.

"This..."

The manager was completely stunned, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Staring at the camera, which was identical to the one in the next room...

...he was utterly speechless.

P.S. Alright, you all guessed it.
