This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 142: Chapter 112: Scrambling to Give Chen Mo Money

If there hadn’t been a ’DING,’ Chen Mo would have felt a little uneasy.

But now that the ’DING’ had sounded, it meant he was in for some bad luck.

In that case, he wasn’t the least bit worried.

Perhaps his opponent was a conceptual god of sorts.

But compared to his own constitution, Chen Mo felt his constitution—that particular conceptual god—was far more awesome.

It had never failed him so far.

A reversal was absolutely guaranteed.

He just didn’t know how the coming twist would play out.

"Ma’am, I didn’t hit you. You were already lying on the ground when I got here."

Chen Mo was completely relaxed, even in the mood to chat with the old woman.

"I could have sworn someone bumped into me, and then I fell. If it wasn’t you, then who was it..."

The old lady still didn’t open her eyes and continued to mumble indistinctly.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

"My kneecaps, my elbows, my spinal discs... they’re all giving me trouble..."

Hearing this, Chen Mo was slightly taken aback.

’Why does that line sound so strangely familiar?’

’Is she performing a comedy sketch for me or something?’

However, he noticed a look of pain on the old lady’s wrinkled face.

’It doesn’t look like she’s acting. She’s probably in real discomfort in all those places.’

"Well then, I’ll call you an ambulance. And let me repeat, I really didn’t hit you."

Chen Mo took out his phone to call for an ambulance, but then, deciding that wasn’t enough to cover his bases, he called the police as well.

After all, her family would have to get involved eventually anyway.

"If you didn’t hit me, why would you bother helping an old woman like me..."

The old lady stuck to her guns, convinced that Chen Mo was the one who had hit her.

"Because I’ve got more money than sense."

Chen Mo shrugged and said offhandedly.

Anyway, he was cool as a cucumber and not the least bit flustered.

He chatted leisurely with the old woman.

A minute or two later, Chen Mo saw traffic police arriving.

"What’s the situation?"

One of the traffic cops looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"I was just driving past and saw this lady lying on the ground. No one was helping her, so I came over to check. It looks like she’s injured from a fall."

"I called for the police and an ambulance. The ambulance should be here any minute."

Chen Mo briefly explained the situation to the officer.

"Ma’am, I’m a traffic police officer. Are you alright?"

The cop squatted down to check on the old lady.

"My kneecaps, my elbows, my spinal discs... they’re all aching..."

The old woman recited her list of ailments to the officer.

"Do you remember how you fell?"

Seeing that the old lady was relatively lucid, the cop continued his questioning.

"This young man hit me, but he’s a good person. Not only did he not run away, he even called an ambulance for me..."

The old lady was still insisting that Chen Mo had hit her.

However, she spoke very highly of him.

She thought that since Chen Mo hadn’t fled, had shown concern for her, and had called an ambulance, he must be a good young man.

"You hit her?"

The traffic cop was taken aback. Didn’t Chen Mo say he was just passing by?

"It really wasn’t me. My car’s parked way over there, so how could I have hit her? Plus, this whole area is covered by surveillance cameras."

Chen Mo pointed to his 911 sports car, then to a surveillance camera, and said helplessly.

"Okay, we’ll review the footage. You won’t be wrongly accused."

The traffic cop glanced at the 911 sports car, then gave Chen Mo a surprised look.

He was more inclined to believe Chen Mo than the old woman.

First, there were indeed cameras, so Chen Mo probably wouldn’t tell such a blatant lie.

The old lady, on the other hand, still hadn’t even opened her eyes.

Second, considering the performance of a car like Chen Mo’s, if it had really hit her, the old lady would probably be in no condition to speak right now.

Still, they would review the footage to see exactly what happened.

"Ma’am, do you know your family’s phone number?"

The cop figured it was best to contact her family first; otherwise, things would get complicated at the hospital.

"My eldest son’s number is 158..."

The old lady’s memory was still decent, as she was able to recall her son’s number.

"What is your eldest son’s name?"

"My eldest son’s name is Liu Jianjun..."

The cop dialed the number the old lady had provided.

"Hello? Is this Liu Jianjun?"

"This is Liu Jianjun. Who’s calling?"

"Your mother has had a fall on XX Road. We’re currently waiting... Ah, the ambulance is here. Just head straight to the hospital."

The traffic cop was communicating with the old lady’s son just as the ambulance arrived.

"What? Is my mom okay?"

An anxious and worried voice came from the other end of the line.

"She seems to have some injuries, but we’ll only know the full extent at the hospital. I’ll tell you which hospital they’re taking her to once she’s in the ambulance. Please get here as soon as you can."

After hanging up, he looked at his colleague.

"Did you check the footage?"

"I’ve seen it. This gentleman had nothing to do with it."

The colleague handed over his phone, and Chen Mo and the first officer also saw the surveillance footage.

On the screen, the old lady was walking slowly across the crosswalk at the intersection.

Just then, an elementary school student with a backpack ran quickly across the crosswalk.

His backpack, swinging wildly from side to side as he ran, accidentally bumped into the old lady.

The student probably didn’t even notice and just ran straight off.

After being bumped by the backpack, the old lady swayed in place for a few moments before losing her balance and falling to the ground.

Because of her advanced age, a simple fall like that was enough to injure her, leaving her completely unable to get back up.

Pedestrians and cars passed by.

No one stopped to check on the old woman, so she simply lay on the ground for several minutes.

Not until Chen Mo drove by and spotted her did anyone stop. He parked his car and went over to see what was wrong.

He also called for the police and an ambulance.

After watching the video, Chen Mo understood the whole story.

’So after all this, it turns out it was a "minor conceptual god" who knocked her down.’

But in any case, the video was enough to prove that he had nothing to do with the old lady’s fall.

"Mr. Chen, it looks like the old lady was just confused and didn’t know what happened. This incident has nothing to do with you."
