This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 173: Chapter 126: A Lucky Cat Crawled Under the Car

’Could it be because of the car?’

Chen Mo thought about how the car had refused to start, a speculative look crossing his face.

He had repeatedly pressed the start button, but he couldn’t get the car to turn on.

That meant something was wrong with it.

This was probably the cause of his bad luck.

"Meow..."

Just then, Chen Mo seemed to hear the faint sound of a kitten meowing.

’Where is that meow coming from?’

Chen Mo froze, thinking he had misheard.

"Meow..."

But soon, he heard it again.

It was even clearer than the last time.

’What’s going on?’

Chen Mo turned his head and scanned the inside of the car, but he didn’t see a cat anywhere.

’Is it outside the car?’

Curious, Chen Mo opened the car door, got out, and circled the vehicle to check.

Still, he didn’t see a cat.

"Meow..."

At that moment, Chen Mo heard the meow again, and this time it was even more distinct.

’Under the car?’

Chen Mo could tell the sound was coming from underneath the car, so he placed his hands on the ground, lowered his head to the pavement, and glanced under the chassis.

However, the space under the car was completely empty. There was nothing there.

"Meow..."

He stared at the empty space under his car and heard the meow coming from it again.

Thinking back to how his car refused to start no matter what, an expression of sudden realization dawned on his face.

’Did a cat get inside my car?’

Chen Mo figured it out. A cat must have crawled into his car and chewed something up.

It had probably damaged the ignition system, which was why the car wouldn’t start.

And after getting in, the cat couldn’t figure out how to get out, so all it could do was stay inside and meow nonstop.

Now that he understood, Chen Mo didn’t know what to say.

He had seen stories like this on the news before, but he never thought it would happen to him.

’I’ve found the bad luck, so what will the good luck be?’

After figuring out the likely reason for the ’ding,’ Chen Mo couldn’t help but start guessing what good fortune would follow.

What could it be?

Could it have something to do with this cat’s owner?

’I’ll have to get it towed to the service center. They can use a professional lift to raise the car and take their time finding it.’

Chen Mo dusted off his hands, stood back up, and formed a plan.

This was something only the service center could handle. Without the right tools or a lift, it would be difficult for him to get the cat out of the car on his own.

But he couldn’t just leave it in there.

If he did, the cat would have no food or water.

It was easy to imagine what would happen to it in the end.

By then, he probably wouldn’t be able to sit in his car for a single second without wanting to puke.

Besides, the car wouldn’t start, so he had to get it repaired anyway.

He could have them get the cat out while they were fixing the car.

With a plan in mind, he took out his phone and opened his chat with Manager Zhou.

"Manager Zhou, a cat got under my car and seems to have chewed through the ignition system. The car won’t start."

Chen Mo briefly explained the situation to Manager Zhou.

"Where is your car right now?"

Manager Zhou replied to his message almost immediately.

"In the underground garage of my apartment complex."

"Okay, I’ll send a tow truck over right away. Please wait a moment."

After replying, Manager Zhou immediately arranged for Old Liu to go to Chen Mo’s complex with a tow truck driver.

This kind of thing was nothing new to them. Small animals crawled into cars all the time.

Sometimes they would damage the vehicle’s internal wiring; other times they’d get stuck and die inside, filling the car with a foul stench.

While waiting for the tow truck, Chen Mo went upstairs and placed an order for a courier service from his apartment.

Since his car wouldn’t start, and the renovation company was still waiting for him to bring the keys to open the door, he had no choice.

He had to have a courier deliver them.

Soon, the courier knocked on his door.

"Just deliver it to the entrance of the villa community and hand it to the property management staff."

Chen Mo handed the keys to the courier and gave him the instructions.

"Okay."

The courier took the keys and turned to head downstairs.

Chen Mo sent a WeChat message to both the property manager and the renovation company’s designer.

He told the property manager to accept the keys and give them to the designer.

Then he told the designer to get the keys from the property management office.

’I’ll go change the lock after I’m done with all this.’

Chen Mo decided that once the car was sorted out, he would change the lock on the villa’s main door.

He would replace it with a keypad lock. If the renovation company needed to get in, he could just give them a one-time temporary code.

That would be much more convenient and would save him from having to run back and forth.

After getting that sorted, he sent a message to the residents’ group chat.

"Has anyone lost their cat?"

After sending the message, Chen Mo tagged the building manager.

His car had been fine last night, but this morning a cat had gotten into it.

The cat most likely belonged to one of his neighbors in the complex.

"Has anyone lost their cat? @everyone."

When the building manager saw the message, he helped by tagging everyone in the group.

"..."

Chen Mo watched the chat, but no one replied.

That meant the cat wasn’t from their building.

If someone’s cat had really gone missing, they would definitely be looking everywhere for it.

They would have surely asked about it after seeing the building manager’s message.

No one asked, which meant no one was missing a cat.

"I’ll ask in the group chats for the other buildings."

The building manager sent a message to Chen Mo.

「A few minutes later.」

"No one in our complex is missing a cat."

The building manager replied.

"Okay, thanks."

Chen Mo replied to the building manager, a slightly baffled expression on his face.

If it wasn’t from their complex, was it a stray cat?

But if it was a stray, how was his good luck supposed to appear?

DING~

Just as he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly chimed.

He glanced at it and saw a message from Old Liu.

"Mr. Chen, the tow truck is in the garage. We’re right by your car."

"Okay, I’m coming down now."

Chen Mo replied and headed out the door.

Soon, he arrived at his parking space and saw Old Liu and the tow truck driver.

A professional rescue tow truck was parked in front of his car.

They were already making preparations to winch the car onto the truck bed.
