Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"Let's go home, Xiao Jie."

Lu Chen lit a cigarette, and after a few seconds, his tense mood finally calmed down.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Liu Jie remained calm and composed. If Zhang Rongshan had noticed anything amiss and had tried to take action, he would have drawn his gun and fired at Zhang Rongshan without hesitation.

If you don't look closely, you won't notice the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Liu Jie started the car and drove Lu Chen toward the French Concession. When they passed a fork in the road, Lu Chen glanced over there.

That small pharmacy is right at this fork in the road; it's where I met up with Shen Ruoqiu.

Lu Chen glanced at it twice before turning his gaze away and looking at Liu Jie in the rearview mirror, then slowly spoke.

"Xiao Jie, come pick me up early tomorrow. We need to take care of your brother's schooling."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

It was clear that Liu Jie was very happy, and he seemed much more cheerful throughout the journey.

Lu Chen just smiled and didn't say anything. After arriving home, he got out of the car.

"I haven't seen Xiulian and the others in a long time. I'll go visit them in a few days."

After getting off the car, Lu Chen suddenly realized that he hadn't seen his sister and Xiao Yao in a long time and missed them a little. He thought he would go see them after he finished his busy work in the next few days.

"Hey Chen, let me know when you're coming so I can cook a nice meal in advance."

Liu Jie patted his chest and assured him.

"You can cook?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised that Liu Jie, a grown man, could cook.

"Of course, I'm a perfect family man!"

Liu Jie patted his chest, greeted Lu Chen, started the car, and drove off towards his home without looking back.

Looking at the car exhaust, Lu Chen thought to himself that Liu Jie was a really good young man, and he felt at ease leaving his sister in his care.

Back in the house, Lu Chen didn't knock on the door. He took out his key, opened the door, and went straight in.

Shen Ruoqiu sat on the sofa, holding a bowl in her hands. The bowl contained a yellow liquid, and there was a medicinal smell in the air.

Are you sick?

Lu Chen looked at Shen Ruoqiu with subconscious concern. It's hard not to feel sympathy when a pregnant woman is sick.

"No, this is for pregnancy care."

Shen Ruoqiu took a sip of the medicinal soup and immediately frowned at the bitterness.

"The food is ready, you can eat first."

Lu Chen nodded, walked to the dining table alone, took two bowls of rice, and placed the remaining bowl in Shen Ruoqiu's seat.

"Starting tomorrow, you should rest at home until you've given birth and recovered before going back to work."

Seeing Shen Ruoqiu's belly growing bigger every day, Lu Chen wasn't some big shot, so how could he let a pregnant woman do that every day?

Moreover, Shen Ruoqiu is not far pregnant, so she should rest and recuperate before he can start working.

Lu Chen ate quickly, finishing in about ten minutes. He washed his dishes and returned to his room, locking the door behind him.

"Rat One, call Rat Two, Rat Three, Rat Four, Rat Five, and Rat Six back."

Lu Chen took out Rat One and told him to call back all the rats he had sent out. Now it was time to carry out his plan.

After a while, six mice of different sizes were standing on the table.

"Rat Two, has Shen Ruoqiu gone to see that person recently?"

"Squeak squeak".

Lu Chen first asked Rat Two. He was still very concerned about Shen Ruoqiu's identity, since he didn't know which side she was on, whether she was from the Japanese side, the organization, or some other organization.

"You went to see them again today? Why didn't you tell me?"

Upon hearing Rat Two's words, Lu Chen frowned instantly. Could it be that the long-term command had caused the rat to develop self-awareness? It was no longer obeying commands?

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak".

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Rat Two hurriedly began to explain.

Hearing the call, Lu Chen straightened his head and nodded. "Hmm, this time it's understandable. I'll let you off this time. Go back to following them."

What Rat Two meant was that he originally intended to inform Lu Chen, but he took a car back on the way, and Rat One called him over as soon as he ran back.

"Rat Five, Rat Six, have any strange people appeared around Xiulian and the others lately?"

"Squeak squeak".

"Squeak squeak".

Hearing their voices, Lu Chen nodded. It seemed that his plan had been very successful. The Japanese army had not noticed that his family and he were no longer living together.

Lu Chen then instructed them to continue following and protecting his sister and Xiao Yao.

"Rat Three, Rat Four."

Next, Lu Chen looked at Rat Three and Rat Four; what followed was the main event of the day.

"Tonight, empty all the Japanese army's granaries and move them all to Zhang Rongshan's granary. If Rat knows the location, have him tell you."

After speaking, Lu Chen sat on the bed and thought for a while before continuing.

"Then there was that company commander. At night, while he was sleeping, he would rub some flour on his clothes and put some rice in his shoes."

"Rat One, go and keep an eye on things yourself. Come back and report to me tomorrow morning. Remember, be extremely careful and make sure you are not discovered."

After saying that, the three mice ran straight out of the window.

After finishing all this, Lu Chen finally relaxed and collapsed onto the bed.

"Wang Yan is actually dead. Who killed him?"

Only now did Lu Chen have the mind to think about this matter properly.

Wang Yan is dead, and his body was left there. It's obvious that someone dragged him there. As for why he was there, it's clear that the person didn't want him to be discovered.

He wanted Wang Yan and his teammates' bodies to decompose naturally into a pile of bones, so that even if they were discovered later, no one would be able to find out.

"It can't be a Japanese person, so it can only be... a mole..."

Lu Chen rested his head on his arms, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing through every possibility.

It might be Japanese, but even if it were, they wouldn't risk their lives to go there.

Lu Chen thought it was very likely that it was done by the big ghost's subordinates, since the big ghost had been making moves against him recently, making it hard not to connect the dots.

"Cheng Jingchuan..."

Lu Chen suddenly remembered this person he hadn't seen in a long time, and almost forgot about the little devil.

Since Cheng Jingchuan knows his own code name, it means that he is connected with Da Gui.

In that case, the person who killed Wang Yan was very likely Cheng Jingchuan, since even if the Japanese army wanted to kill Wang Yan, they wouldn't know his exact location.

Only an inside man could have done all this!

Lu Chen stood up, put on his coat, which still smelled of rotting flesh, but he didn't care.

Stepping outside, Lu Chen planned to go to a public phone booth to call Zhang Xiaolin, who was the head of the organization's Shanghai station.

Wang Yan is dead, and now he can only prove his identity through him.

"Wait, what if he's the mole?"

As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, Lu Chen suddenly thought of this question: if Zhang Xiaolin was the mole, these things could be done very easily.
