This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 153: Chapter 117: Gold Bars in the Wall

He recalled scenes he’d seen on TV shows or in the news.

People who bought a house and, while renovating, knocked down a wall only to find a hidden treasure inside.

And now, his terrible luck had just hit the jackpot.

The marble slab had crashed down and revealed loose bricks in the wall.

It was hard for him not to wonder if something valuable was hidden behind those loose bricks.

’Could my luck really be hiding in the wall?’

Chen Mo’s eyes filled with anticipation as he slowly approached the feature wall.

He took a closer look and saw that several bricks were loose, with gaps around them.

The rest were covered in a layer of cement, completely different from this section.

He tried to pinch a brick and pull it out, but the gap was too small for his fingers to get a good grip.

Chen Mo glanced around his home, and an idea seemed to strike him.

He unwrapped a pair of new chopsticks he’d bought online, inserted them into the gaps between the bricks, and wiggled them back and forth.

Soon, the bricks became even looser.

After struggling to pull one brick from the wall, he immediately saw that the space behind it was hollow!

’Is there really something in there?’

Chen Mo’s eyes lit up, and he continued removing the bricks set into the wall.

Since he had already removed the first one, the next few were much easier to take out.

Soon, Chen Mo had removed several bricks, leaving a basketball-sized hole in the wall.

Chen Mo turned on his phone’s flashlight and shone it into the hole.

"Hm?"

A moment later, he spotted what looked like a dust-covered black bag inside.

Seeing the black bag, Chen Mo’s expression filled with surprise and expectation.

His guess had been right—there really was something inside the hollow wall!

Chen Mo carefully lifted the black bag out of the hollow wall.

It was heavy—surprisingly so, weighing at least a few kilograms.

Chen Mo lifted the black bag and gave it a shake. A dull, thudding sound came from inside—like plastic boxes knocking against each other.

Hearing this, Chen Mo frowned. ’What could this be?’

His face filled with curiosity as he opened the black bag.

After opening the bag, he looked down and froze on the spot.

Bathed in the bright light of the spiral chandelier, the contents of the bag were laid bare before him.

Inside were transparent plastic boxes, each one holding a gold bar!

The focus wasn’t on the plastic boxes, but on the gold bars inside them!

"It’s actually gold bars!"

A joyful smile spread across Chen Mo’s face.

He was actually experiencing something he’d only ever seen on TV or in the news.

He picked up a small box and saw that information was inscribed on the gold bar itself.

China Gold, 999.9 pure gold.

200g.

NO.xxxxxx

The source, purity, weight, and serial number were all there.

Each bar even came with a certificate.

This confirmed they were indeed gold bars purchased from China Gold.

There shouldn’t be any question about the gold’s authenticity.

’Let’s count them.’

Chen Mo took all the gold out of the black bag and began to count the bars one by one.

"One, two, three... twenty."

He counted a total of twenty gold bars in the black bag.

And they were all the 200g size.

That added up to a full 4,000 grams.

No wonder the black bag had felt so heavy when he’d pulled it from the wall.

The gold alone was 4 kilograms, not even counting the plastic boxes.

’I remember the price of gold shot up recently. A gram of pure gold is going for 750 yuan.’

Chen Mo recalled the recent price of gold.

If he calculated it based on the current price...

Selling these 4,000 grams of gold would fetch a full 3 million yuan!

’No wonder the typhoon blew down the marble slab. The original owner must have reinstalled it himself.’

Chen Mo now understood why the marble feature wall had been blown down by the typhoon.

At first, he’d suspected the construction company had cut corners, resulting in poor quality.

Now he realized the original owner must have removed the marble slab later, hidden the gold, and then put it back up.

It made sense. The construction company wouldn’t have dared to cut corners on the original owner’s renovation; that would have been genuinely life-threatening.

Now that he’d seen the gold, it all made perfect sense.

’This black bag seems a bit special.’

Just then, Chen Mo noticed the material of the black bag seemed very unusual.

A thoughtful look crossed his face; he’d never seen a bag made of this material before.

So, he took a picture of the black bag.

"Hey, Xiao Yi, what kind of bag is this?"

Chen Mo sent the picture to Xiao Yi to have it run a search.

"This is an anti-metal-detector shielding bag, which can effectively..."

Xiao Yi quickly found information about the black bag.

"So that’s what this is..."

Hearing this, a look of realization dawned on Chen Mo’s face. He understood immediately.

The previous owner must have considered that he might get into trouble one day, so he deliberately used this kind of anti-metal-detector bag for the gold bars.

That way, with a layer of marble and the shielding bag...

...he could basically prevent the gold from being discovered by others.

He must have thought he could come back and retrieve it after he got out.

But he never imagined he wouldn’t be getting out at all, which made the whole thing a pointless precaution.

’He probably hid things in more than one place, but the rest was all confiscated.’

Chen Mo remembered Feng Yu mentioning before that everything that needed to be found had been found.
