This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Keep Adding Money

Modu, Gubei No.1 District.

Inside a luxurious villa.

Many people were gathered in the villa’s living room: a young entrepreneurial couple and their family.

A few police officers were also present, responsible for communicating updates and consoling the family.

"Is there still no news about my Xuanxuan?"

The lady of the house was pale and haggard, her red-rimmed eyes turning toward the police officers.

Her voice was hoarse from heartbroken crying.

Her son had been missing for over twenty hours.

She was terrified, dreading the worst possible outcome...

"Not yet, Ms. Zhao. We’ve already issued a reward and organized a large-scale search..."

One of the officers glanced at the compiled information. There were still no leads.

"SOB SOB SOB..."

Hearing this, the lady of the house couldn’t stop her tears from falling again.

She knew crying was useless.

But the moment she thought about her son being gone for so long, not knowing if he was dead or alive, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

’Oh, God, please watch over my Xuanxuan and keep him safe...’

Powerless, all she could do was pray silently to the heavens.

The man of the house was just as haggard, his eyes bloodshot and the hair at his temples showing streaks of white.

He put his arm around his wife’s shoulders and murmured a few words of comfort.

But his own worry and fear were no less than his wife’s.

"Increase the reward to three million. Please, you have to find Xuanxuan for me!"

The man of the house looked at the police officer, his voice filled with helplessness.

He was in his early thirties and had started his tech company from scratch with his wife.

Their life was happy, their relationship was strong, and their family was complete.

But yesterday evening, their son went missing.

In an instant, their entire world came crashing down.

"Mr. Lu, this is our duty. We will definitely do everything we can."

The officer also promised in a grave tone.

Even if the couple hadn’t said anything, it was their responsibility to find the child.

"President Lu, about the trip abroad scheduled for tomorrow, you..."

Just then, a secretary approached President Lu’s side apprehensively and asked in a low voice.

"I’m not going. My son is missing. What’s the point of going abroad?"

President Lu waved his hand impatiently, his tone harsh.

He was originally supposed to go abroad tomorrow to negotiate a very important deal.

This deal was crucial for the company, and there were many competitors.

The strongest competitor was another company also located in Modu.

Both sides had put in a great deal of effort for this deal, and the final decision was expected tomorrow.

If he didn’t go, the deal would most likely fall into the hands of that other Modu company.

But his son was missing now. What deal, no matter how big, could be more important than his own son?

"My apologies, President Lu."

The secretary quickly bowed her head and left.

The officer ignored their business and simply made a phone call.

"Increase the reward to three million."

...

After seeing the familiar pair of shoes in the photo, Chen Mo was almost certain.

"I think I know where this kid is."

Chen Mo didn’t beat around the bush; he directly told Feng Yu that he had a lead on the child.

"?"

Feng Yu replied instantly with a question mark.

Immediately after, Chen Mo saw an incoming video call from Feng Yu.

When he answered, Feng Yu’s face appeared on the screen—exhausted, but still lively and beautiful.

"Chen Mo, do you really have a lead?"

Feng Yu’s pretty face was filled with disbelief, and she asked with excitement in her voice.

’It was one thing for Chen Mo to run into pyramid schemes, wanted fugitives, and spies before.’

’But now he even has a lead on a missing child?’

’What kind of luck is this?’

"Last night, a kid upstairs was making a racket in the middle of the night instead of sleeping and woke me up."

"I ended up calling the police to report a disturbance, but they were very sincere with their apology, so I let it go."

"But I happened to see a pair of very expensive children’s shoes next to their shoe cabinet, and they looked exactly like the ones in the photo you just sent me!"

Chen Mo briefly explained the situation to Feng Yu.

He recounted the events of last night, the clues he saw, and his analysis.

"Okay, I’m going to add a colleague to this call. She’s at the family’s house."

After hearing Chen Mo’s story, Feng Yu also became highly suspicious that the boy in the apartment above his was the missing child.

So, she immediately added the colleague who was with the family to the video chat.

"Hm? What’s going on, Feng Yu?"

Soon, Chen Mo saw another face appear on his phone screen.

"I just heard from a friend who says he has a lead on the missing boy. I want to confirm a few things with the parents."

Feng Yu didn’t waste any time and explained the situation directly.

"What? There’s a lead on the child?"

Hearing this, her colleague shot up from her seat in surprise, unable to stop herself from confirming it aloud.

Everyone in the villa’s living room heard her and turned their gazes toward her in unison.

The couple, in particular, rushed over excitedly.

"Is it true? Is there news about Xuanxuan? Is he okay?"

The mother couldn’t help but cry again, only this time, they were tears of happy excitement.

The father was just as agitated, his hands trembling.

"Yes, but it’s just speculation at this point."

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Zhao, the lead comes from this gentleman, Mr. Chen."

Feng Yu knew the couple was right there, so she briefly explained the situation.

"Mr. Chen, do you really have news about my Xuanxuan?"

President Lu’s voice trembled. He took the phone from the officer’s hand, gripping it tightly as he looked nervously at Chen Mo and asked.

"The shoes your son was wearing, are they the eighty-eight-thousand-yuan pair?"

Chen Mo knew this must be the boy’s father and posed a question.

"Yes, his grandmother bought them for him. I was very against buying him such expensive shoes..."

President Lu nodded. He knew about the shoes.

But he couldn’t argue with an elderly woman who doted on her grandson.

"Does your son have a favorite cartoon he usually watches?"

"When he watches TV, does he like to sit quietly, or does he move around while watching?"

"And what does he usually like to eat? Do you know?"

Chen Mo then asked several more questions.

Although he was almost certain that the boy upstairs was their missing son, he wanted to reconfirm based on the available clues.

After all, the shoes alone were rather thin evidence.

"Xuanxuan loves cartoons. His favorite is ’Boonie Bears,’ but I worry it’s bad for his eyes and will affect his studies, so I rarely let him watch it."

The boy’s mother answered without a moment’s hesitation.

"My son has always been energetic and full of life. He likes to jump around when he watches TV. Since we live in a villa, we don’t have to worry about bothering the neighbors, so we just let him be."

President Lu said without a second thought.

"He doesn’t seem to have any particular favorite foods. He just eats what we make at home."

The parents shook their heads, unable to recall anything their son particularly loved to eat.

"Xuanxuan absolutely loves KFC and Coke, but his parents won’t let him have it because they think it’s unhealthy. I sneak him out for some every once in a while..."

At that moment, the boy’s grandfather added.

Hearing this, the couple realized this was happening behind their backs.

But right now, no one cared about such a trivial matter.

After hearing the answers from the parents and grandfather, Chen Mo smiled.

’It all matches!’

One point might be a coincidence.

But with so many points lining up, it was ironclad proof.

"I’m certain. Your child is in the apartment above mine."

"And he seems to be fine—eating, drinking, and jumping around with plenty of energy."

Chen Mo’s expression was serious, his tone firm and confident.
