> Resumos de Born With Luck
Outside the Rongcheng Group building, Fang Chao and Liu Zhi watched the entrance with envy. Fang Chao expressed a desire to become a "vulgar man" himself—the kind with piles of cash hidden at home. They discussed their target, a low-key businessman who was much harder to track than a previous target who had foolishly allowed himself to be filmed for a news report.
Liu Zhi regretted that they had lost the boss's trail earlier because Fang Chao had to stop and relieve himself in the woods. Fang Chao remained undeterred, comparing their mission to the story of the man who moved mountains; they would simply keep following the boss every night until he finally went home. Inside the police station, Zhang Yi'ang pressured Lu Yibo to explain why he had filed a fake report against his childhood friend, Zhou Rong.
Lu Yibo confessed that his actions were driven by a misguided sense of love and jealousy. He explained that he had once seen his girlfriend, Zhou Qi, being picked up by Zhou Rong late at night. Consumed by the belief that he was being betrayed, he wrote a letter framing Zhou Rong for the death of Lu Zheng, intending for both of them to go down together.
After mailing the letter, a distraught Lu Yibo swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills, planning to end his life. However, a phone call from Zhou Rong changed everything. Zhou Rong wanted Lu Yibo to fire a woman named Shanshan from the PR department because she lived in the same building as Zhou Qi. It turned out that Zhou Rong had been on a date with Shanshan, not Zhou Qi, and he was disgusted because she had eaten leek dumplings.
Realizing he had made a terrible mistake, Lu Yibo forced himself to vomit, but the pills had already begun to take effect, leaving him groggy and disoriented. Lu Yibo desperately contacted Jiangcheng Express to stop the delivery to the provincial capital. He was told he needed to provide his ID at a station to retrieve it, but the package was already near its destination at Yiyuan Haoting.
Lu Yibo chased the courier to the provincial capital, arriving just as a massive explosion occurred at the site. Although he was caught in the blast and covered in sewage, he managed to recover the letter, though one crucial page went missing—the very page that had eventually landed in Zhang Yi'ang's hands. Zhang Yi'ang found the story hard to believe, suspecting that the explosion might have been an attempt to stop the letter from being delivered.
He questioned Lu Yibo about his resentment toward his successful friends. Lu Yibo admitted that while Zhou Rong was a famous entrepreneur and Ye Jian had been a powerful police captain, he felt like a mere employee earning a fixed salary as a legal representative.
When Zhang Yi'ang mentioned that Ye Jian had written a name containing the character "Yi" with his dying breath, Lu Yibo became visibly shaken but insisted that Ye Jian had never visited the Fenglinwan Hotel on the night he was murdered. Meanwhile, Zhou Rong gave Lu Yibo a chance to redeem himself by tasking him with acquiring a set of ancient chime bells, or bianzhong, to satisfy the official Fang Yong.
Lu Yibo and Hu Jianren traveled to meet an antique dealer named Zhu Yifei. During a meal of Black Tiger Paw Mushroom soup, Zhu Yifei warned them that some things in life cannot be forced. Lu Yibo accidentally insulted the dealer by spitting bones into a rare Ru kiln plate, which Zhu Yifei claimed was one of only sixty-eight in existence.
While Lu Yibo dealt with the dealer, Hu Jianren visited Fang Yong’s home under the guise of measuring for a red sandalwood rack. He manipulated Fang Yong by pointing out how easily a delivery person could spot bulky, illegal antiques like chime bells through the window. He suggested that Fang Yong should switch his interest to a more discreet Ru kiln plate, spinning a tale about a salvaged Song Dynasty ship and a money-laundering scheme involving a two-hundred-million-yuan auction.
Enticed and paranoid, Fang Yong decided he wanted the plate instead of the bells. Back at the dealer's residence, Lu Yibo broke down in tears, claiming his boss had only given him a twenty-million-yuan budget and that his life would be forfeit if the deal failed. Surprisingly, Zhu Yifei agreed to the price. However, the transaction turned into a disaster when the Ru kiln plate was accidentally shattered during a demonstration of how to handle the item.
Determined to recoup his losses, Zhu Yifei contacted a tomb raider named Liu Bei, who was holding a complete set of nine Han Dynasty chime bells. Though the items were "hot" and risky to sell, Zhu Yifei saw an opportunity. He planned to sell the bells to Zhou Rong for forty-three million yuan, effectively doubling his original price to cover the cost of the broken plate and provide a share for his associates.
