Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

That night, Lu Chen led Xiao Jie and all the military police members toward Zhang Rongshan's residence.

"Xiao Jie, you come inside with me. The rest of you stay hidden. When you hear gunfire, rush in!"

After turning this corner and walking about a hundred meters further, you'll reach Zhang Rongshan's residence. Lu Chen only took Liu Jie with him, leaving the rest of the men to guard the place.

Otherwise, if so many people went together, they would definitely be discovered, so Lu Chen decided to take Liu Jie with him.

As for why Liu Jie was brought along, it was because Lu Chen discovered that Liu Jie had a high level of combat skills. He was probably a street thug who had been in many fights, and Liu Jie was very fierce when there was no gun.

Lu Chen didn't fully trust that man and was afraid that he was faking his surrender and might trick him into going in, and then capture him.

Lu Chen will then open fire, allowing the military police guarding outside to enter in time, and enabling him and Liu Jie to escape.

dong dong...

Reaching the door, Lu Chen didn't hesitate and knocked directly on the door.

With a click, the door opened from the inside, and it was the same man Lu Chen had seen before who opened it. He poked his head out and looked around, and immediately frowned when he saw that there was another person there.

"Why is there someone else here?"

Lu Chen was speechless. He even began to doubt whether this person was reliable or not.

He was saying that he would take down Zhang Rongshan single-handedly?

Putting aside whether Lu Chen's small frame could defeat Zhang Rongshan, who spent his days indulging in debauchery, he doubted whether he could even safely walk out of this house even if he killed Zhang Rongshan.

"I'm alone... how am I supposed to take down Zhang Rongshan? He has so many henchmen..."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the air fell silent for a few seconds. Liu Jie stood to the side without saying a word, while the man lowered his head in deep thought, seemingly pondering the matter seriously.

"Alright, you two can come in now."

The man finally nodded and agreed to let Lu Chen bring Liu Jie in.

Lu Chen and Liu Jie walked into the courtyard together. They had been here before, so there was nothing new about it.

"Is Zhang Rongshan in that room right now?"

Lu Chen looked up at a room with a light on above the mansion.

After receiving the news brought back by Rat Three and Rat Four, Zhang Rongshan stayed inside and didn't even dare to come out.

The man walking ahead paused for a second upon hearing this, then continued walking.

He didn't speak, and when viewed from the front, his eyes showed confusion and bewilderment.

Zhang Rongshan was in that room, but there were several other rooms with lights on, so why did Lu Chen specifically mention this room?

Is it a coincidence? Or...?

The man's brows were furrowed. Was there another traitor among them besides him?

The man couldn't think of any other possibility besides this one.

He glanced at Lu Chen out of the corner of his eye, but didn't turn around, and spoke.

"My name is Zhao Huai'an, and I'm Zhang Rongshan's confidant. He's in that room right now, and there are quite a few people guarding the door. You can go and kill him; I won't go."

Zhao Huai'an stood still, looking at Lu Chen who had walked up to him, and spoke in a voice that left no room for doubt.

Liu Jie took a step forward, about to start arguing, when Lu Chen reached out and stopped him, shaking his head slightly.

"it is good."

Lu Chen agreed, and under Zhao Huai'an's guidance, the two successfully entered the mansion.

"Brother Chen, he's clearly using you as a guinea pig. He brought us in, so why wouldn't he take us with him?"

Once the two of them went upstairs and were alone, Liu Jie looked at Lu Chen, his eyes filled with anger towards Zhao Huai'an and a hint of confusion towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked down from the top of the stairs.

The first floor was packed with people, and there was one of Zhang Rongshan's henchmen every two or three steps.

"This guy is also afraid, afraid that if we can't take down Zhang Rongshan, it will implicate him."

After speaking, Lu Chen turned to look at Liu Jie and led him upstairs, speaking very softly, as if afraid of being overheard by anyone else.

"Xiao Jie, are you confident you can take down Zhang Rongshan?"

The two continued walking, and Liu Jie's voice slowly sounded from behind them.

"Brother Chen, what are you saying? I, Liu Jie, may not be able to say anything else, but I'm definitely a master fighter. Let alone Zhang Rongshan, I could take down Zhao Huai'an with one hand."

"As for Zhang Rongshan... humph! He's just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to exploit the lower classes. He spends his days indulging in debauchery, and his health is probably ruined long ago. I don't even need a knife to kill him; I could beat him to death with my bare hands!"

Liu Jie clenched his fist, his eyes filled with disdain and anger towards Zhang Rongshan.

He followed Lu Chen to see Zhang Rongshan several times, but each time Zhang Rongshan always acted arrogantly.

Moreover, the look in his eyes clearly showed disdain and contempt for Lu Chen, which made Liu Jie unhappy for quite some time.

I've wanted to do this to him for a long time. I'll take this opportunity to punch him a few more times!

Thinking this, Liu Jie followed Lu Chen to the door of the room with the light on that they had seen downstairs.

The two men stood at the top of the stairs and, through the gap, could clearly see about five or six men standing at the door of the room. They were probably Zhang Rongshan's henchmen.

"Xiao Jie, don't use the gun yet. Making too much noise will attract a lot of people. Try to be as quiet as possible."

Lu Chen lowered his voice and spoke to Liu Jie beside him.

As they spoke, the two of them flashed to the wall, where a door was right next to them.

The staircase led to a corner, allowing the two to hide without being discovered.

"Who goes there?! Come out!"

Just as Lu Chen was pondering how to eliminate these people without making a big fuss, Zhao Huai'an's voice came from outside the mansion.

"not good!"

Lu Chen knew something was wrong. He opened the door next to him, pulled Liu Jie inside, and hid.

The entire room was dark. Lu Chen could vaguely make out a bed, but there was no one on it, and he had no idea who the room was for.

Just a few seconds after entering, Lu Chen heard a cacophony of voices coming down the stairs, accompanied by chatter.

"Did they go down?"

Liu Jie peered through the crack in the door.

Lu Chen did not make any rash moves and waited in the room with Liu Jie for a while longer.

After there was no more noise outside, Lu Chen opened the door a crack and looked out.

"Go out."

Lu Chen lowered his voice and turned to Liu Jie.

Liu Jie nodded, and the two then opened the door and went out.

The dozen or so of Zhang Rongshan's henchmen who were originally standing at the door have disappeared, and now there is no one at the door.

"What is it?!"

Lu Chen and Liu Jie were tiptoeing to the door when Zhang Rongshan's angry roar suddenly came from inside.

Lu Chen could tell from the direction of the sound that Zhang Rongshan was shouting outside from the window.

"It's nothing, a beggar just passed by the door."

Zhao Huai'an's voice came from outside, and Lu Chen knew that this seemed to be making a commotion to attract the attention of his underlings and Zhang Rongshan.

"Damn it, I'm going to shoot him."

Zhang Rongshan's voice came from inside the door again, followed by his footsteps getting closer and closer.

Having survived two assassination attempts, Zhang Rongshan was already on edge. Now, being disturbed by a complete stranger, he was furious. He grabbed his gun, cocked it, and was about to leave to kill someone and vent his anger.

Lu Chen and Liu Jie were already standing at the door. Listening to the approaching footsteps inside, they knew there was nowhere to hide now. They gestured to Liu Jie to get ready so they could pin Zhang Rongshan to the ground as soon as he came out.

Liu Jie nodded slightly, understanding Lu Chen's meaning.

With a click, Zhang Rongshan opened the door from the inside.

Zhang Rongshan stepped out the door, and before he could even see who was standing there, Liu Jie tackled him to the ground.

His mouth was pressed tightly shut by Liu Jie with one hand, so he couldn't make a sound.

Looking at Lu Chen, Zhang Rongshan's eyes showed both confusion and anger. He hadn't expected these two to be here. What were they doing? Were they going to arrest him?

Lu Chen glanced downstairs; the young men doing makeup hadn't reacted yet.

Seeing this, Lu Chen nodded to Liu Jie, instructing Liu Jie to push Zhang Rongshan into the room.

Entering the room, Lu Chen clicked the door shut and locked it.

Upon entering the room, Liu Jie immediately pressed Zhang Rongshan into a chair, while Lu Chen casually found a place to sit down.

Looking at Zhang Rongshan on the chair, he was still struggling, wanting to say something, but Liu Jie was very strong. He grabbed Zhang Rongshan's arms with one hand and covered his mouth tightly with the other.

Lu Chen gestured to Liu Jie to release Zhang Rongshan, wanting to see what else Zhang Rongshan wanted to say.

"Hmm."

As soon as Liu Jie let go, Zhang Rongshan gasped for breath.

With a fierce look in his eyes, Liu Jie snatched the gun from Lu Chen's hand and took it into his own.

Liu Jie held a gun in one hand, pointing it directly at Zhang Rongshan, and slowly spoke.

"Keep your voice down, you bastard."

Zhang Rongshan wanted to shout to attract all his thugs downstairs, but looking at the dark gun barrels in front of him, he didn't dare to make a loud noise.

"Lu Chen, what do you want to do!"

Zhang Rongshan gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at Lu Chen.

He never expected that instead of the assassin who was supposed to kill him, he would encounter Lu Chen, someone he had never thought highly of, and now he had even been captured by Lu Chen's men.

"Boss Zhang, tell me, why am I here to see you at this time?"

Lu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at Zhang Rongshan and spoke slowly, his eyes revealing no trace of murderous intent.

"I advise you to let me go, otherwise!"

Zhang Rongshan's eyes hardened; even at this point, he was still thinking of making threats.

Snapped!

Lu Chen looked at him without saying anything, but Liu Jie, who was standing behind him, was not so easy to talk to and slapped him so hard that he was dizzy.

Zhang Rongshan turned to look at Liu Jie, his entire body on the chair began to tremble uncontrollably, and then he struggled violently.

Since he joined the Green Gang and climbed to this position step by step, no one has dared to hit him; he is the one who hits others.

"Behave yourself!!"

Seeing him struggle, Liu Jie didn't give in. He gripped Zhang Rongshan's pistol in reverse and slammed the butt of the gun into Zhang Rongshan's head.

Only then did Zhang Rongshan calm down. Then, he looked at Lu Chen with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Others might not dare to lay a hand on him because of his tyranny, but these two people in front of him would not.

Just as he was about to ask Lu Chen to spare his life, Lu Chen raised his hand, stopping him from saying what he was about to say, and then slowly spoke.

"Boss Zhang, the Chinese territory is such a big piece of meat, I want a piece too, but you've taken it all for yourself, isn't that a bit unfair?"

Lu Chen's eyes hardened, giving Zhang Rongshan no chance to retort, and he gestured to Liu Jie.

With a bang, Zhang Rongshan's head exploded; Liu Jie's shot had taken his life.

As the gunshot rang out, Zhang Rongshan slumped helplessly into his chair.

A few dozen seconds later, a loud thud came from the stairs outside the room, and Lu Chen could clearly feel the whole room shaking slightly.

Zhang Rongshan's henchmen have arrived.

Lu Chen had just stood up when the door was kicked open from the outside. The person leading the way was Zhao Huai'an, followed by a group of Zhang Rongshan's henchmen. Zhao Huai'an's eyes were filled with smugness.

Seeing Lu Chen and Zhang Rongshan, whose head was bruised and battered, he quickly spoke up.

"This guy is an assassin. He's already killed Boss Zhang. Capture him, kill him, and avenge Boss Zhang."

Among the lowest-ranking thugs under Zhang Rongshan, quite a few were still loyal to him.

Listening to Zhao Huai'an's words, their eyes were like those of hungry wolves, as if they were about to devour Lu Chen alive in the next second.

Tapping.

Lu Chen remained silent. Liu Jie held a gun, pointing it at Zhao Huai'an and his group of henchmen, as they confronted each other.

A dozen seconds later, loud footsteps came from the stairwell, and Lu Chen knew that his men had arrived.

Lu Chen looked at Zhao Huai'an and spoke slowly.

"Trying to double-cross me? I've never trusted you."

"What?"

Zhao Huai'an didn't understand Lu Chen's words, but he understood the next second because a lot of people rushed up from the stairwell, all holding long guns, forming a circle around them. The clothes they were wearing were the uniforms of the military police.

"you!"

Zhao Huai'an pointed at Lu Chen, his teeth clenched, about to speak when Liu Jie stepped forward and slapped him.

"take away!"

Liu Jie shouted, and then the military police members stepped forward without hesitation to subdue Zhao Huai'an and Zhang Rongshan's henchmen, confiscating all their guns and weapons. Then, one by one, they led them toward the military police headquarters.

"Xiao Jie, Zhang Rongshan is dead. It's time for us to take over the entire Chinese community."

Looking at the crowd being held down by the military police on the stairs, Lu Chen slowly spoke. Liu Jie simply nodded; he knew that from today onwards, the Huajie region was about to change.

"Take some men and investigate what businesses Zhang Rongshan owns. Whether they are gray or black businesses, we must keep them all in our own hands. We must cut off the gray and black businesses at their source. Let the military police arrest whoever is the source. As for the other businesses, we will distribute them to the brothers in the military police and let them manage some of the profits, just like I said before."

Lu Chen made a decisive order. He had been thinking about this matter for a long time and had already made preparations, which is why he was so decisive when he took over.

Liu Jie nodded, then went downstairs to do the things Lu Chen had asked him to do.

Lu Chen stood on the stairs, looking at the entire mansion. Zhang Rongshan was dead, so the entire mansion was now his.
