This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Still Looking? I’ve Come to Collect You

"Really? Mr. Chen, are you sure?"

Hearing the immense confidence in Chen Mo’s voice, President Lu asked excitedly for confirmation.

Not only was there a lead on his son, but the boy was also doing well.

This was simply the best news he could have hoped for.

"Last night, when I was sleeping, the apartment upstairs..."

Chen Mo briefly recounted the story of the little boy having a dance party to the Boonie Bears theme song upstairs.

He also mentioned seeing the special purchase of KFC and Coke in the elevator at noon today.

"That’s basically confirmation. Make the arrest!"

After listening to Chen Mo’s account, a superior officer standing behind Feng Yu and watching the video feed gave the order directly.

With leads that matched so perfectly, it was pretty much a sure thing.

Even if it turned out to be wrong, a lead this strong was worth a shot.

"Do you know how many people are in their apartment?"

Feng Yu asked Chen Mo after a moment of thought.

Since they had decided to make the arrest, they had to figure out how many people were inside.

After all, the arrest itself wasn’t the primary goal; ensuring the little boy’s safety came first.

"They bought three boxed meals, so I’d estimate at least three adults."

"At least one adult male and one adult female among them."

Chen Mo said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, thank you for the information. We’ll leave it at that for now."

Feng Yu nodded and then hung up the phone.

They were going to make their move.

「In the villa.」

After the call ended, the police officer also breathed a sigh of relief. They finally had a lead.

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Zhao, please trust our colleagues. Your son will be returned to you safe and sound."

The officer reassured the couple.

"Thank you!"

The couple, finally seeing a glimmer of hope, said gratefully.

"The real hero this time is Mr. Chen, who provided the lead."

The officer didn’t take credit for it. Without Chen Mo’s information, they’d still be completely clueless.

"Of course, we won’t forget Mr. Chen."

As President Lu spoke of Chen Mo, the gratitude was written all over his face.

However, now wasn’t the time to think about that. He was still extremely nervous, worried about the potential dangers of the arrest...

...

Feng Yu and her team were highly efficient, arriving at Chen Mo’s residential complex in less than 10 minutes.

They didn’t use their sirens, approaching quietly to avoid tipping off their targets.

They had already formulated a strategy on the way.

Since officers had already been dispatched last night, they would have the same two knock on the door.

Meanwhile, Feng Yu would pose as another neighbor disturbed by the noise last night, claiming to have called the police about the disturbance.

After all, Feng Yu was a beautiful woman, which would make it easier to lower their target’s guard.

With the strategy set, their execution was flawless.

Soon, the three of them were at the door of the upstairs apartment.

Feng Yu had changed into civilian clothes.

Next to the trio, more than a dozen other people were lined up against the wall.

The moment the door opened, they would all swarm in.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

Soon, a knock sounded on the upstairs door.

"Who is it?"

A woman’s voice called from inside again.

"Police. We were here last night. It’s about the noise disturbance again. Someone else filed a report today, so we’re just following procedure. Please open the door."

The two officers from last night said in a very natural tone.

They both felt a pang of regret. They had come last night but hadn’t noticed anything unusual, missing a chance to distinguish themselves.

Fortunately, they could make up for it now.

CLICK~

When the woman inside saw through the peephole that it was the same two officers, along with Feng Yu in her civilian clothes, her wariness faded considerably.

’From the looks of it, that woman, like Chen Mo, is probably just another resident from upstairs or downstairs.’

She opened the door and looked at the two officers, preparing to apologize sincerely once again.

"What are you looking at? We’re here to take you in!"

But the two officers just yanked her straight out of the apartment.

Immediately, the people lined up against the wall swarmed into the room.

The woman was utterly stunned by the scene.

Her face turned pale, filled with despair.

She knew it was all over.

She couldn’t figure it out for the life of her. They hadn’t left any loose ends.

’Where did it all go wrong?’

"Don’t move!"

"Get down!"

"..."

Downstairs, Chen Mo sat quietly on his living room sofa.

He heard a flurry of urgent footsteps and several sharp shouts from upstairs.

He knew Feng Yu and her team were in; the operation had begun.

Sure enough, a little over ten minutes later, there was a knock on his door.

CLICK~

Chen Mo opened the door to find Feng Yu standing there, a radiant smile she couldn’t suppress spreading across her pretty face.

"We got all three of them upstairs—two men and one woman."

"And we’ve confirmed that the kid upstairs is the missing boy."

"When we went in, he was sitting in his room eating fries, drinking Coke, and watching cartoons. He didn’t even want to leave with us, saying he wouldn’t have it this good back home."

Feng Yu gave Chen Mo a brief summary of the situation.

After they burst in, the two men were taken down by their people before they could even react.

But when they entered the little boy’s room, they found him relaxing like a little king.

They tried to take him with them, but he refused, crying that he didn’t want to go home.

In the end, they had no choice but to call his parents. Only then did the little guy reluctantly go with them.

"As long as he’s okay."

After hearing the story, Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Congratulations, you’re about to pocket another 3 million."

Feng Yu was genuinely impressed. She felt that Chen Mo’s luck was simply invincible.

They had mobilized so many people and scoured countless hours of surveillance footage without finding a single clue.

And it turned out the kid was right above Chen Mo’s apartment the whole time, and Chen Mo was the one who noticed something was off.

Combined with everything that had happened before, she felt there was something almost supernatural about Chen Mo.

"Wasn’t it 2 million?"

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback. He remembered the reward being 2 million, right?

"Just before you sent me the message, the reward was increased to 3 million."

"Well, that’s a pleasant surprise."

An extra million out of nowhere put Chen Mo in an even better mood.

With this 3 million coming in, he was another step closer to A8.2.

"With your luck, you should go buy a lottery ticket."

Feng Yu couldn’t help but sigh. If only she had a tenth of Chen Mo’s luck.

"Thanks for the reminder, I’ll go buy one later."

Hearing this, Chen Mo just smiled and replied casually.

’A lottery ticket?’

’Is that really something a normal person can win?’

"Thanks again for the lead. I’ve got to head out now, still have work to do back at the station."

"I’ll follow up on the reward money for you. I might even be able to apply for a bonus for you, but it definitely won’t be as much."

After formally thanking him, Feng Yu left in a hurry.

They’d caught the suspects, but now they had to be interrogated.

Everything about this case was bizarre.

If they were human traffickers, shouldn’t they have left Modu with the boy long ago?

But after taking the child, the three of them didn’t leave Modu; instead, they holed up in the apartment above Chen Mo.

If they were kidnappers, shouldn’t they have called the boy’s parents for ransom?

But the entrepreneur couple hadn’t received a single call.

Moreover, the child was taken by strangers but didn’t cry or make a fuss. When they came to rescue him, he didn’t even want to leave.

The trio’s attitude toward the child was also strange. They specially bought him KFC and Coke, treating him like royalty.

"Thanks."

Chen Mo closed the door, the smile still not leaving his face.

Just from being woken up last night, he’d managed to casually earn 3 million.

’Who says the kid upstairs is inconsiderate?’

’He’s just naturally lively, energetic, agile, full of beans, and bursting with vitality...’

’This kid is awesome. I could use more like him.’
