Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

After resting for a full two weeks, Lu Chen felt fine, and the doctor also said there was nothing serious, so Lu Chen prepared to be discharged from the hospital.

"Brother, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. You haven't even reached half of that time yet, and you were shot. You still need to rest."

Lu Xiulian grabbed Lu Chen's arm, refusing to let him leave the hospital and insisting that he stay for two more days.

But Lu Chen couldn't stay still. The thought of all the unresolved issues made him very anxious.

Especially Zhang Rongshan. These past few days, his younger sister Lu Xiulian has been visiting him, which has put Lu Chen at ease. He was genuinely afraid that Zhang Rongshan, that scoundrel, would harm his sister and Xiao Yao.

So he couldn't wait; he had to completely destroy Zhang Rongshan, this major threat, before he could feel at ease.

"It's okay, the doctor said it's fine too, don't worry, I won't do anything rash."

Lu Chen can now walk on the ground, with a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his shoulder.

Lu Chen reached out and rubbed Lu Xiulian's head; she was a head and a half shorter than him.

Since Lu Chen found her, she has been raised better and better, becoming chubby and fair-skinned. Lu Chen also feels that his little sister has become much cuter.

"Okay, okay, then if you feel unwell, you must come to the hospital for a check-up immediately!"

Seeing that Lu Chen was determined to leave the hospital, Lu Xiulian stopped trying to stop him. Instead, she frowned slightly and seriously told Lu Chen to take better care of his health.

She also said she wanted to move back home for a few days, worried that Lu Chen wouldn't be able to take good care of himself.

"Sis, how old am I? Can't I take care of myself? Do I need my sister to look after me?"

Lu Chen shook his head with a wry smile. His younger sister was becoming more and more like a mother hen, worrying about everything concerning him.

In the end, it was only under Lu Chen's insistence that Lu Xiulian gave up the idea.

"Xiao Jie, take Xiu Lian home first, then come pick me up from the hospital later."

After saying that, Liu Jie pulled Lu Xiulian towards the hospital exit. Lu Xiulian looked back every few steps, clearly still not quite at ease.

Feeling bored being alone in the hospital room, Lu Chen got up and wandered around for a couple of minutes before finally giving in and leaving the room.

Medical staff came and went in the ward corridor, including not only Chinese residents but also Japanese soldiers and Japanese people.

"The troops have withdrawn, and we can stay here to recover from our injuries. We're finally free from fighting."

As Lu Chen passed a ward, he heard Japanese coming from inside. Peeking through the crack in the door, he saw two wounded Japanese soldiers.

"You idiot, don't you want to dedicate yourself to the Great Japanese Empire?"

Another Japanese soldier, upon hearing this, was furious. If he hadn't broken a leg, he would have gotten up and given him two big slaps.

Seeing his strong reaction, the Japanese soldier who spoke first was speechless.

This was his biggest question. In his view, wouldn't it be good for them, as soldiers, to avoid war and death?

Why do the other soldiers act like lunatics, unconditionally obeying orders from their superiors?

In the eyes of the other Japanese soldiers, he was the one who should commit seppuku the most.

"I heard the main force went to Nanjing. I wish I could have gone too. It's all your fault!"

The lame Japanese soldier punched his own intact thigh.

Seeing this, Lu Chen felt the pain of the punch. This person was really ruthless to him, hitting him so hard.

With two clicks of his tongue, Lu Chen stood up and returned to his hospital room.

Just as he returned to the ward, Liu Jie came back, and Lu Chen asked him to take him to the military police station first.

"Xiao Jie, is there any progress on the matter I asked you to handle yesterday?"

Lu Chen looked out the window and saw that many Japanese soldiers were carrying out reconstruction work in the Chinese-controlled area. On the surface, the Japanese soldiers and the Chinese seemed to be getting along well.

Only those stupid reporters believed that Lu Chen didn't believe this scene at all.

The Japanese army has now occupied the Chinese-controlled area of ​​Shanghai and is very powerful, but the Chinese people are currently afraid to resist them.

"Xiao Jie, call everyone over here."

Upon entering the military police headquarters, Lu Chen instructed Liu Jie to summon all the military police members. Since Matsumoto Kiyoko had given him such great power, he had to do something to put her mind at ease.

After everyone had arrived, Liu Jie returned to stand behind Lu Chen.

Looking at the military police members below the stage who were watching them with curiosity, he realized that over this period of time, they had transformed from petty thugs into the rather dignified figures they were today.

"Next, I'm going to arrange a few things for all of you."

Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly. No one in the audience spoke; they were all watching him quietly and attentively.

"Next, I want you to do your best to find the whereabouts of anti-Japanese elements in the Chinese-speaking areas. Report any information to me first. If there is no time, you can arrest them on the spot and take them back to the military police station."

Extending a single finger, Lu Chen calmly handed over the law enforcement authority over the Chinese territory to this group of thugs.

The crowd below gasped. Could they just arrest him directly and keep him at the military police station?

Lu Chen has completely handed over law enforcement power to them. Although they were also members of the military police before, they could only bully ordinary people. Any thug with a little power could easily control them.

But now, those thugs probably don't want to see their group of devils!

"yes!"

The sound was like thunder, as if it could blow the roof off the military police headquarters.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand, signaling them to keep their voices down, and the crowd quieted down.

Lu Chen had mentioned several things, but he had only said one so far. Their eyes were burning with anticipation as they waited for Lu Chen to continue.

"The second thing is that Liu Jie will be fully responsible for this matter."

Extending two fingers, Lu Chen slowly began to pace, his eyes filled with coldness.

"I want you to take down all the thugs in the Chinese-controlled area, including Zhang Rongshan, and confiscate their property whenever you have the chance. Seventy percent of the money from their property is yours to divide as you please. The remaining thirty percent will be given to the Imperial Army."

"Yes! Good!"

This time, the group of young men were even more vocal, each one like a hungry wolf, wishing they could raid the homes of those landlords and gentry right now.

Seventy percent!

Even if those greasy-haired, big-eared people only squeezed out a little bit of oil from between their fingers, it would be enough for several years' salary for them, not to mention that 70% of it would be theirs!

"I guarantee that the profit sharing will be fair and just, so that everyone will get the same amount."

Lu Chen reiterated his assurance, and looking at the completely different young men below, he nodded in satisfaction.

This is exactly what he wants. He won't be like future capitalists, saying things like, "I'll make you bureau chiefs in the future." That's completely unrealistic.

But Lu Chen could really offer them benefits. As long as he could make them completely loyal to him, they would have no shortage of money or power in the future!

"Liu Jie is fully responsible for these two matters. Let him lead you. Go ahead, I'll be waiting for your good news!"

With a wave of his hand, Liu Jie took a step forward, followed by dozens of young men, and walked towards the exit of the military police headquarters.

Liu Jie knew the local thugs with some influence very well, so with him in charge, the military police wouldn't be like headless flies, but would have a precise target.
