This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: 2 Million Bounty, It’s Chen Mo’s

Since Pan Kejia was well enough to go to work, it meant she had recovered nicely.

He had just taken her for a test drive and now had a taste for more.

He figured he had to help her get through the break-in period as soon as possible.

"Chen Mo! You bastard!"

"There’s no way I, Pan Kejia, am going to do that! You can forget about it. If I do, I’ll call you Dad!"

When Pan Kejia saw Chen Mo’s reply, her pretty face flushed crimson with rage. She gritted her teeth and furiously typed back.

At the same time, her ample chest rose and fell with her ragged breaths.

’What kind of person did Chen Mo take her, Pan Kejia, for?’

’She’d only given in that night because she was drunk and Chen Mo had gotten her all worked up.’

’She was perfectly sober now. Did he really think she’d give it away for free again?’

’Not a chance!’

She couldn’t even be bothered to look at Chen Mo’s reply. Shoving her phone into her blazer pocket, she walked out of the breakroom with a somewhat unnatural gait.

Back at her desk, the female colleague next to her leaned over curiously.

"Kejia, did you take yesterday off to go to a beauty salon?"

"Hm? No, I wasn’t feeling well yesterday. Why do you ask?"

Pan Kejia’s eyes darted away as she shook her head, feeling a little guilty. She then looked at her colleague in surprise.

"You look so radiant today. Your skin and complexion seem better than before. It’s really noticeable."

The colleague stared at her pretty face, studying it for a few moments before saying in surprise.

"It’s true, I noticed it too."

"Kejia, what skincare products are you using?"

A few other female colleagues gathered around, having also noticed the obvious change in Pan Kejia.

"Really?"

A flash of delight appeared in Pan Kejia’s eyes. She had noticed it herself while putting on makeup this morning.

But she thought she had just been imagining things. She hadn’t expected her colleagues to say the same. It seemed her complexion and skin really had improved.

’She knew perfectly well she hadn’t gone to any salon. It was all thanks to that bastard Chen Mo...’

"I just rested at home for a day, didn’t do a thing. I guess I’m just naturally beautiful. Actually, this isn’t even me at my best..."

Pan Kejia huffed lightly, instantly putting on an air of superiority, and spoke with proud satisfaction.

...

Seeing the flag Pan Kejia had just raised, Chen Mo couldn’t help but reveal a playful expression.

’Looks like I’m about to become a father.’

’A nominal one, that is.’

He then scrolled through his Friends Circle and checked his friends’ statuses.

Chen Mo discovered that Feng Yu had posted a status five hours ago.

[Broken]

Chen Mo was a bit surprised. Five hours ago, wasn’t that around 4 or 5 a.m.?

’What’s with posting statuses at that hour instead of sleeping?’

’Feeling emo?’

"Still up past 4 a.m.? Feeling emo?"

Chen Mo left a comment under her [Broken] status.

A few minutes passed, but Feng Yu didn’t reply to his comment.

’She’s probably either catching up on sleep or busy.’

After scrolling through some group chats, Chen Mo sat down in his gaming room, turned on his computer, and started checking the stock market.

The market had already opened.

Ruisheng Pharmaceutical was still rising, and the other nine stocks he’d bought had also seen slight increases.

If they could maintain this growth until closing, these ten stocks would earn him over a hundred thousand yuan today.

’Not bad at all.’

As for the ten stocks he had subsequently bought, they seemed relatively stable for now, with some rising and some falling.

But the gains and losses were more or less equal, so he was breaking even.

"Looks like my constitution hasn’t been activated yet."

Chen Mo gave it a quick glance, his expression unchanging.

He wasn’t worried. He had already verified the feasibility of his "staged accident" activation method.

He was very confident that these ’carefully selected’ stocks would activate his constitution sooner or later.

After watching the stocks for a while, he tidied up and went out.

His goals were twofold: first, to get more driving practice, and second, to look for a gym with a good environment, quality equipment, and professional trainers.

He drove around for a bit and checked out a few gyms, finding them all to be pretty decent.

He added a few on WeChat and decided to see how things went.

He grabbed a bite to eat outside for lunch. When he got home and entered the elevator, he ran into the man from the apartment upstairs from last night.

The man was slightly startled to see Chen Mo in the elevator, then gave a somewhat stiff nod as a greeting.

Chen Mo glanced at him and noticed he was carrying three lunch boxes in his left hand.

In his right hand was a meal from KFC and a cup of iced Coke.

Seeing this, a faint suspicion began to form in Chen Mo’s mind.

The three lunch boxes were probably for the adults, while the KFC and iced Coke were likely for the little boy.

However, he had only seen two people upstairs last night.

’Could there be another adult upstairs who he hadn’t seen?’

Back in his apartment, Chen Mo heard the sound of someone walking around on the floor above, but there was none of the jumping and bouncing from last night.

DING~

"Haven’t slept in over twenty hours. How could I not be broken?"

Just then, instead of replying to his comment, Feng Yu sent him a direct message on WeChat.

"On a mission? In that case, don’t say anything."

Chen Mo was surprised. Not sleeping for over twenty hours meant it must have been an urgent mission.

Although he was curious, he knew some missions required confidentiality.

He decided not to ask, so as not to put Feng Yu in a difficult position.

"It’s fine. I’m only replying because I’m allowed to talk about it now."

"Yesterday evening, the son of a young entrepreneur in our city went missing. We dispatched a lot of people to search all night, but we still haven’t found him."

"We checked the surveillance footage. All we know is that after dinner, the family’s nanny took him to the park to play. He disappeared in a surveillance blind spot, and the trail went cold from there."

"We don’t know if the little boy was taken by human traffickers or if he was kidnapped. The couple is going crazy with worry, terrified that something’s happened to their son."

"The couple has offered a two-million-yuan reward. Just for providing a clue, there’s a two-million-yuan cash prize."

Feng Yu hadn’t typed. Instead, she had sent a long voice message.

From her very first words, Chen Mo could hear the exhaustion in her voice and tone.

But as he listened further, Chen Mo suddenly froze, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

’An entrepreneur’s son, missing, a little boy, wealthy...’

He subconsciously made a connection to the people upstairs.

Chen Mo had no proof, but he had a gut feeling.

Perhaps the little boy upstairs, the one who had been dancing above his head to the *Boonie Bears* theme song, was the entrepreneur’s missing son.

Moreover, the two-million-yuan reward offered by the couple solidified his suspicion.

’Could this be the good luck that follows a bout of misfortune?’

"Do you have a photo of the boy from before he went missing? The clearer, the better."

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then sent a message to Feng Yu.

For now, it was just a guess. The only clue he had was the pair of shoes.

That’s why he needed Feng Yu to get him a photo from before the disappearance, to see if the shoes matched.

"Okay, I’ll have a colleague send it to me."

Feng Yu didn’t think much of it and replied.

The pre-disappearance photo was about to be released as part of the reward notice anyway, so sending one more copy to Chen Mo was no big deal.

A few minutes later, a colleague from the tech department sent over a high-resolution photo.

It had been extracted from surveillance footage and sharpened using technical means.

The little boy’s appearance and clothing were basically crystal clear.

Feng Yu directly forwarded the photo to Chen Mo.

After receiving the photo, Chen Mo didn’t look at the boy’s face.

He immediately zoomed in on the photo, his gaze fixed on the little boy’s feet.

When he saw the familiar pair of shoes on the little boy’s feet, his eyebrows shot up, the corners of his mouth turned up, and an unstoppable smile spread across his face.

’It’s a match!’

The shoes this little boy was wearing were the same as the 88,000-yuan pair he had seen upstairs.

An exact match!

’The two-million-yuan reward is mine!’

’You can always count on bad luck. It never disappoints!’
