This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 97: Chapter 88: Siqing, Learning About Love by Doing It

Sitting in an oppressive interrogation room, facing professional interrogators, the two of them confessed everything.

Ai Yikun even admitted to things like tax evasion.

He also stated that it was all arranged by his company, which took the lion’s share of the money.

The woman, on the other hand, was suspected of large-scale blackmail and extortion, as well as engaging in illegal activities, and was also detained.

The police even asked if the passerby had tried to blackmail or extort Ai Yikun.

Ai Yikun shook his head and denied it, stating that the other party had never once brought up money.

He had offered it all willingly.

When the woman was questioned, her answer was identical.

The agent revealed everything she knew, causing a massive stir online.

When the boss of Hongyin Jingtong saw the news, his vision went black and he collapsed into his chair.

Their company was already in deep trouble after Ai Yikun’s career imploded.

But now, the tax evasion had also been exposed. Not only was the company finished, but he would probably end up in jail too.

"Hongyin Jingtong is completely finished."

"Who knew the story behind it was so juicy!"

"Tsk tsk, that passerby is way too lucky. 6.5 million in compensation."

"Now that’s a smart person. Didn’t mention money once and just let Ai Yikun hand over 6.5 million on his own."

"No wonder that woman is in that line of work. With a brain like that, she wouldn’t be good at anything else."

"Trying to extort that much money... she won’t be getting out anytime soon."

"Damn it, why don’t I ever have this kind of luck?"

"6.5 million! I could go back to my hometown and live the rest of my life without a care."

"I’m so jealous. That’s basically like winning the lottery grand prize."

"..."

Everyone online was discussing it, all of them envious of the passerby’s luck.

Just for getting his car hit, he received an astronomical compensation of 6.5 million.

They all wished they were the one who had been hit.

Even if it wasn’t 6.5 million, 1.5 million would have been fine too!

Chen Mo was also reading the agent’s exposé. He hadn’t expected to be part of the story in the end.

’Good thing I’m so experienced. I never bring up money first.’

Chen Mo smiled. He was practically an expert in this area.

After all, he’d been through this kind of thing a few times now, so he really was experienced.

Bringing up money first could be seen as extortion, but if the other party offered compensation completely on their own, then there was no problem.

Besides, he could now talk freely about the Ai Yikun incident.

According to the non-disclosure agreement, once Ai Yikun’s affairs were exposed and became public knowledge, the confidentiality clause would become void.

Even if he went around telling everyone about it now, Ai Yikun couldn’t demand compensation from him.

DING~

"Chen Mo, your luck is unbelievable."

Just then, Feng Yu sent him a message on WeChat.

"How so?"

Chen Mo had a pretty good idea what Feng Yu meant.

"That passerby was you, wasn’t it?"

Feng Yu asked bluntly.

"Are you handling this case?"

Chen Mo understood. Feng Yu must have seen his information.

"No, my colleague is. I just happened to see your name and card number when we were looking at the account transactions."

Feng Yu briefly explained how she found out it was Chen Mo.

She was quite familiar with Chen Mo’s bank account number, especially since the last four digits, 1234, were rather unique.

As for why she was so familiar with his bank account number, it was because she’d already had her colleagues transfer money to him twice...

"Alright, it was me."

Chen Mo didn’t hide it, since there was no longer any risk of breaching the agreement.

"Let me borrow some of that luck. I’m so jealous."

Feng Yu couldn’t help but marvel at how good Chen Mo’s luck was.

She could overlook the previous incidents involving the wanted fugitive, the spy, buying the car, and the drinking.

But to get hit by Ai Yikun in an underground parking garage, and get a direct payment of 6.5 million!

She had practically watched him, step by step, transform from a delivery guy into a young millionaire with a net worth of at least ten million.

She’d met plenty of rich people, but many of them had accumulated their initial wealth through less-than-clean means.

But every single bit of Chen Mo’s money was squeaky clean!

Every transaction was traceable, all of it coming from others’ compensation. It was terrifyingly clean.

"Sigh, I’m just unlucky. My car gets hit even when it’s parked in a garage. And it was a new car, you know..."

Chen Mo typed humbly.

"I guess that’s true."

Feng Yu thought about it and realized he had a point.

But unlucky or not, the money in Chen Mo’s bank account just kept growing.

’If that’s what being unlucky is like, I’d be willing to take it too.’

"Oh, right. About the incident with Lu Mingzhe’s son last time, I applied for a bonus for you."

"It’s not much, just 10,000 yuan. It’ll be sent to you in the next few days. Don’t think it’s too little."

Feng Yu seemed to have remembered something and let Chen Mo know.

"Thanks! How could I think it’s too little? It’s a sign of recognition."

Of course Chen Mo wouldn’t complain. 10,000 was still money.

Besides, official bonuses were usually not that large.

Unless it was something like the wanted fugitive case, which had a publicly posted reward.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Feng Yu had to get back to work.

...

「Soon, it was past seven in the evening.」

DING~

"I’m home. I’ll change and be right over."

Xia Shiqing sent a message.

"Okay."

After seeing her message, Chen Mo put down his phone and tidied up his place a bit.

But since he lived alone, he didn’t have much stuff.

Plus, he tidied up regularly, so the place already looked quite clean.

DING~

About ten minutes later, his phone pinged again.

"Does this dress look good?"

Chen Mo opened the message and saw that Xia Shiqing had sent a selfie.

In the photo, she was wearing a pale pink French-style slip dress, looking ethereal.

Her exposed skin was like snow, so white it almost seemed to glow.

And because of the dress’s style, it did an excellent job of showing off her impressive assets.

Even the two pearls on her necklace seemed to gain a touch of nobility from their proximity to the "snowy mountains."

"It looks great. Wear that one."

His eyes filled with anticipation as he quickly typed a reply.

"Okay, I’m leaving now."

After sending the message, Xia Shiqing got ready to leave.

"Are you going on a date?"

As she walked into the living room, Mrs. Xia saw her dressed up beautifully and about to head out, and couldn’t help but guess what was happening.

’My daughter’s views on men and women are finally back to normal!’ Mrs. Xia was delighted.

She was curious what kind of outstanding young man could capture the heart of a daughter with such a warped view of love.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know that Xia Shiqing’s situation was not quite what she imagined.

"Mhm, I’m going to my boyfriend’s place."

Xia Shiqing nodded naturally.

"Are you coming back tonight?"

"I probably will."

’If we’re just talking about import investments, I probably won’t need to spend the night,’ Xia Shiqing thought.

"Siqing, remember to always follow your heart."

"And... be safe."

Mrs. Xia instructed her earnestly.

She knew her daughter didn’t understand love, but she didn’t have much to teach her either.

’You learn as you go in a relationship.’

To use a popular phrase these days, it’s "learning by doing."

’Just follow your heart.’

"Mhm, I know."

A thoughtful look flickered in Xia Shiqing’s beautiful eyes. She nodded and then left.

About twenty minutes later, she drove her car into the residential complex where Chen Mo lived.

After finding a public surface parking spot, she headed toward the address Chen Mo had given her.

She walked into the building lobby, got into the elevator, and went up to the 15th floor where Chen Mo lived.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

She knocked on the door to Chen Mo’s apartment.

Hearing the knock, Chen Mo knew it was Xia Shiqing.

"Coming."

CLICK~

Chen Mo opened the door and, sure enough, found Xia Shiqing standing gracefully at the entrance.

She was wearing the pale pink French-style slip dress from the photo. Her long, perfectly straight legs were clad in sheer, nude stockings, as thin as a cicada’s wing.

On her feet was a pair of pale pink Valentino studded high heels, a perfect match for the color of her dress.

It was clear she had put thought into coordinating her outfit.

’I just wonder how many pairs of shoes she actually owns.’

Chen Mo’s gaze traveled upward, landing on her exquisite, fully made-up face, and the specific shade of lipstick he liked that she had deliberately applied.

The sight of her was simply, indescribably beautiful.

And the moment the door opened, a pleasant fragrance wafted out, intoxicating him.

"Come on in."

Chen Mo took her by her pale, slender wrist and led her inside.

"Have a seat. Drink some water."

Chen Mo poured her a glass of water and had her sit on the sofa.

"Thank you for what you did with the Hongyin Jingtong matter."

Xia Shiqing looked directly into Chen Mo’s eyes, thanking him with great sincerity.

Not only had Chen Mo helped her reputation in the financial world soar again, but more importantly, he had helped her defeat Jiang Qifeng.

It had allowed her to finally let out a huge breath of relief and release the obsession that had been weighing on her heart.

"There’s no need for that between us."

Chen Mo put his arm around her snow-white, fragrant shoulders and said with a smile.

"I really want to thank you, but it’s an inconvenient time of the month for me, so I was thinking of another way..."

Xia Shiqing blinked, her beautiful eyes clear and her tone earnest yet natural as she took the initiative to speak.

It was as if, to her, this matter was as ordinary as asking Chen Mo for a kiss.

"?"

Chen Mo froze for a second.

’Whoa, that came out of nowhere.’

It completely threw him for a loop.
