Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"That's enough. Does the child have time tomorrow? If so, send him directly to the Sino-French School, and I'll arrange for someone to go there."

Ka Jingzhou took the money order with a smile.

Lu Chen smiled knowingly and said he would send the child over tomorrow. After a few more awkward words, he and Liu Jie walked out the door together.

"Brother Chen, I will pay you back."

Liu Jie tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his eyes filled with determination.

"Um."

Lu Chen nodded slightly. He hadn't intended to give the money to Liu Jie for nothing, so he didn't need to ask anymore.

"Take me to...the place the Japanese told you to go yesterday."

Liu Jie turned the steering wheel and drove confidently toward Huajie.

Although it was early, there were already quite a few Japanese soldiers patrolling the streets of the Chinese-controlled area, with each patrol consisting of 8 to 10 soldiers.

"Xiao Jie, when did so many Japanese soldiers appear in this Chinese-controlled area?"

Although there were Japanese troops in the Chinese-controlled area before, there were never this many; they were only in small groups. Now, so many have suddenly appeared, which makes Lu Chen somewhat worried.

"Brother Chen, didn't you know? The war ended yesterday, the Japanese won, and Shanghai has been occupied by the Japanese."

When he said this, Liu Jie was clearly emotionally affected.

Lu Chen nodded. He wasn't surprised at all. The main reason was that the gap between the two sides was too large. No matter how much he helped, he could only reduce our losses and make the Japanese suffer more losses.

"Ugh."

Although he already knew the outcome, Lu Chen still couldn't help but sigh when it happened.

The Japanese soldiers would question every pedestrian who passed by on the street, and only let them pass after confirming that there were no problems.

Liu Jie braked suddenly and stopped the car. He rolled down the window, and there were two Japanese soldiers standing outside.

"Routine inspection."

"What is this guy babbling on and on about?"

The Japanese soldiers were speaking Japanese, and Liu Jie scratched his head, completely unable to understand what they were saying.

"I am a member of the Special Forces."

Lu Chen remained expressionless, took out the medal that Kuroda had given him before, and handed it directly to the Japanese soldier.

"Excuse me, sir."

Upon seeing the badge, the Japanese soldier immediately realized he had stopped the wrong person. He quickly took two steps back, stood on the side of the street, and bowed to Lu Chen inside the car.

"Let's go."

After glancing at him, Lu Chen instructed Liu Jie to continue driving.

"Brother Chen, why do you think the Japanese like to bow so much? They bow to everyone they meet."

Liu Jie started the car and muttered a few words. Lu Chen had just spoken in Japanese, which he couldn't understand at all. Looking at the bowing Japanese soldiers outside the window, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Well, maybe they just like it."

Lu Chen fell silent; he didn't know why the Japanese liked to bow so much.

It seems that apart from Matsumoto Kiyoko, other Japanese soldiers would bow to anyone who was of higher rank, even if they were beaten.

He didn't know why either, and finally shrugged and spoke helplessly.

After that, neither Lu Chen nor Liu Jie spoke a word, and they went straight to the very center of the Hua Jie territory.

The area was completely surrounded by military police members, and inside was a circle of Japanese soldiers.

"I wonder who this important person is, making such a big fuss."

Lu Chen muttered something, then told Liu Jie to wait for him in the car before getting out.

There were already quite a few people around, and Lu Chen spotted a familiar figure among them—Shen Ruoqiu.

Ignoring her, Lu Chen blended into the crowd and disappeared.

"Who's coming? They've certainly made quite a show of it."

"Who knows? Probably some big shot."

"He must be a big shot; the Japanese army has already occupied Shanghai."

The surrounding people were talking about it, and it was quite noisy.

Lu Chen casually found a spot near the front and began to mutter to himself.

"Rat One, survey the surroundings and find the person on higher ground."

"What?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Rat One disappear into the ground through his clothes and down his trouser leg. A man next to him scratched his ear and looked at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression.

"It's alright, brother."

Lu Chen was taken aback. It turned out that his older brother had heard what he had just said. He waved his hand to brush it off.

The surrounding area is mostly populated by ordinary people. As long as he doesn't mention those keywords, he won't be suspected at all; he'll just be seen as crazy. So Lu Chen doesn't hide anything, but he still can't let Shu Yi appear openly.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse disappeared for a few minutes and then returned, chirping twice in Lu Chen's pocket.

"Take me to see this."

Hearing Rat One's cry, Lu Chen frowned, squeezed out of the crowd, and was led by Rat One into the building behind the crowd.

"What's wrong?"

When Lu Chen heard Lu Chen speak, his older brother looked around, not knowing who he was talking to. He glanced at Lu Chen's back and casually muttered a comment.

"Is it here?"

He looked at the tall building in front of him, which was about six stories high. If a sniper were stationed on top of it, he could indeed see the entire area and kill whoever he wanted.

As Rat just said, they found the people, but something is blocking their way so they can't get in.

Lu Chen then decided to come and see for himself.

Walking up the stairs, you see that the building is mostly inhabited by ordinary people; it's not exactly dilapidated, but it's not in great condition either.

It's six stories high, not very tall, and Lu Chen can get there in just a few minutes.

When Lu Chen reached the stairs leading to the sixth floor, he stopped there, swallowed hard, and didn't know how to get up there.

At the top of the stairs on the sixth floor, there was a dog, which looked like a German Shepherd, sitting there well-trained, sticking out its long tongue and making a "hahaha" sound.

Lu Chen could see through the gap that the roof of the building was a platform, which was perfect for continuing to snipe, since no one would notice it.

"Rat One, call a few rats over."

Lu Chen gave the order, wanting to see if he could use rats to lure the dog away.

If he stays here, it will be detrimental to his plans.

"Squeak squeak".

As soon as the rat called for three more rats, Lu Chen immediately ordered them to go over.

As soon as it got close, the dog sniffed the air, saw the rats, quickly lowered its head, and killed all three rats in a few bites.

"This is good news."

Lu Chen wasn't saddened at all by the death of three rats; on the contrary, he thought it was good news.

The dog didn't bark, which meets the requirement that there should be no external interference when a sniper is on a mission.

This was good news for Lu Chen. As long as he could get rid of the dog, he could quietly ascend to the platform above.

However, there was still one thing that puzzled Lu Chen: why didn't the sniper upstairs hear him coming up?

Shaking his head, he thought, "Since they haven't discovered me, that's a good thing. Let's deal with this dog first, and we'll deal with the rest later."

After thinking it through, Lu Chen sat down and kept thinking about how to get rid of the dog.

The dog squatted there, staring at Lu Chen without barking or moving, its eyes fixed on him.

"That's easy to solve, but..."

Looking at the well-trained dog, Lu Chen thought he could shoot it, but the noise would be too loud and would inevitably be noticed by the people below.
