Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"Come with me."

The doorman accepted the French currency that Huang Dayong gave him, and then led Lu Chen and the others toward the Paramount Ballroom.

"Money really is useful."

Lu Chen smacked his lips. Although Huang Dayong was greedy, he was still willing to spend money when it came to getting things done.

The doorman quickly led the group to the door of a private room. "The boss is inside. Please go in."

After saying that, the doorman left the group behind. Huang Dayong stood at the door, raising his hand and then lowering it again, hesitating.

Lu Chen only knew a little about Du Yuesheng. In his previous life, this name was very popular on the internet. No matter what, in Shanghai at that time, Du Yuesheng was undoubtedly a ruthless figure.

As for Huang Jinrong and Zhang Rongshan, who were of similar status to Du Yuesheng, it goes without saying that...

This was the first time Lu Chen had seen Huang Dayong so afraid. Before, he had seen Huang Dayong as arrogant and domineering, even daring to organize the sale of weapons.

"Big Tiger, come here."

Huang Dayong stepped back and let Da Hu go forward and knock on the door.

"Is Director Huang really that afraid?"

Huang Dayong's behavior made Lu Chen a little nervous. Zhang Rongshan wasn't a ghost, so why was he so afraid?

Lu Chen and Liu Jie stood together. They didn't know much about Zhang Rongshan, Du Yuesheng, and Huang Jinrong, the three bigwigs of the Shanghai Green Gang, and even felt that Huang Dayong's performance was a bit over the top.

"Brother Chen, you don't know this, but Zhang Rongshan controls nearly half of Shanghai's illicit industries, such as opium and nightclubs."

"Moreover, among the three giants, he is the most ruthless. If you don't provoke Huang Jinrong, nothing will happen to you. Du Yuesheng is about the same as Zhang Rongshan. If he doesn't like you, he might kill you at any time."

Liu Jie spoke very softly, afraid that the people in the private room would hear him.

"Isn't this just a slightly more sophisticated thug?"

Upon hearing Liu Jie's description of Zhang Rongshan, this thought immediately popped into Lu Chen's mind.

dong dong dong...

Da Hu stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside the private room as deafening music filled the air.

"The music might be too loud, let's continue."

While waiting, Huang Dayong was already covered in sweat. Seeing that there was no response, he hurriedly told Da Hu to continue knocking.

There was another series of knocks, but the person inside still didn't respond. The music was too loud and completely drowned out the knocking.

"Just push it away."

"Wait, Big Tiger..."

Huang Dayong had never suffered such humiliation. Except in front of the Japanese, he was always the one making others wait, never the one making others wait for him.

In a fit of rage, he momentarily forgot his reason. By the time he realized what had happened, Da Hu had already pushed open the door to the private room.

The music grew louder at that moment, but then fell completely silent a few seconds later.

Lu Chen looked into the private room and saw three men and several women. He couldn't tell which one was Zhang Rongshan.

Who are you?

Two of the three men were young, appearing to be around the same age as Lu Chen, while the other man was middle-aged.

The two young men who were speaking reached behind their backs as they looked at Lu Chen and his group who had suddenly appeared at the door, their faces filled with wariness.

"Boss Zhang, I am Huang Dayong, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai warehouse."

Huang Dayong suppressed his nervousness and stood at the door of the private room, not daring to go in rashly.

"Many people want to see me, but you're the first one who's been so rude."

This time, it was the middle-aged man who spoke.

The middle-aged man was of average height, appearing to be only about 1.6 meters tall. He had leopard-like eyes, a round head, and large ears. His neck was rather long and prominent, and a slight smile always lingered on his lips.

Lu Chen never expected that Zhang Rongshan was this middle-aged man.

After saying this, Zhang Rongshan stopped talking. Two women were leaning against him, each with a cigar in their mouth.

"Come in!"

The two young men beside Zhang Rongshan walked to the door, searched the group, pulled them into the private room, and closed the door behind them.

"Boss Zhang, I...I didn't mean to offend you."

Huang Dayong looked like a little chick at this moment. He glanced at Zhang Rongshan and then dared not look at him again.

Zhang Rongshan didn't speak or look at them, while Liu Jie and Lu Chen silently observed him.

Lu Chen reached into his pocket and pinched Mouse One, making him remember Zhang Rongshan's scent.

Zhang Rongshan has high cheekbones and sunken cheeks, which makes his facial features appear rather striking, giving him a lean yet menacing look.

His eyes revealed a wild and ruthless nature, giving Lu Chen the feeling of a smiling tiger.

"Hehe, it's alright, once you're here, you're a friend. Let's drink."

After finishing a cigar, Zhang Rongshan finally looked at Lu Chen and the other three, smiled and asked them to sit on the sofa, and even had his two subordinates pour each of them a glass of wine.

"Boss Zhang is truly a magnanimous person. I'll do it as an apology."

Seeing that Zhang Rongshan was so easy to talk to, Huang Dayong relaxed a little and drank his wine in one gulp.

Lu Chen remained silent, staring intently at the two of them.

Da Hu sat down next to Huang Dayong. Seeing that Huang Dayong had finished drinking, he also picked up his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Do you know how much a bottle of this wine costs?"

Zhang Rongshan put the wine glass back on the table, still smiling.

Huang Dayong was taken aback, somewhat confused about what Zhang Rongshan meant by those words.

"Making mistakes should be punished, don't you think, Director Huang?"

Zhang Rongshan's voice wasn't loud, and before everyone could react, his two men suddenly stepped forward and pinned Da Hu to the sofa.

He forcibly pulled one of Da Hu's arms out and placed it on the table, then fired several shots at the arm.

bang bang bang! ! !

"ah!!"

Da Hu tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free at all. He felt several bullets being forcibly inserted into his arm, and the pain was excruciating.

Despite being shot several times in the arm, Zhang Rongshan's two men didn't stop. They took out two knives and ruthlessly severed the tendons in Da Hu's wrists.

goo-dong...

Lu Chen swallowed hard, no longer daring to look around carelessly.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and Lu Chen felt nauseous, but he forced himself not to lose his composure in front of Zhang Rongshan.

Just as I had predicted, Zhang Rongshan was a wolf in sheep's clothing, ruthless and decisive in his actions.

Liu Jie was also very scared. After all, he was just a small-time hoodlum, and he dared not show the slightest disrespect to a Green Gang boss like Zhang Rongshan.

"Uncle Zhang, this person is so ugly."

"Yes, that's right. He deserves it for daring to disrespect Master Zhang."

Faced with such a cruel and bloody scene, the two female companions beside Zhang Rongshan were not afraid at all and laughed.

Zhang Rongshan ignored them and didn't even glance at Da Hu, whose body was stained with blood on one side.

He had his men light a cigar for him, and the entire private room fell into a deathly silence. There was no sound except for Da Hu's occasional screams and Zhang Rongshan's smoking.

After finishing a cigar, Zhang Rongshan slowly stood up.

"Director Huang, if you want to see me in the future, just have the doorman bring you in. There's no need to be so formal."

He still had a smile on his face and treated Huang Dayong with the same warmth he would show to a good friend.

Huang Dayong dared not be negligent and nodded repeatedly, saying "okay."

Zhang Rongshan looks all smiles, but he's the kind of person who pushes people to their doom.

Seeing that the commotion was gradually subsiding, Lu Chen knew that no matter how good the situation was, Da Hu could only save one life. With seven or eight bullet holes in his arm, he definitely couldn't be saved.

If it had been delayed any longer, Da Hu would probably have died from blood loss.

After Zhang Rongshan and his men left, Huang Dayong stepped forward to check on Da Hu's injuries.

"It's too late. This arm is probably beyond saving. Quickly get Da Hu to the hospital, or he'll bleed to death."

Huang Dayong shook his head, and seeing that Lu Chen and Liu Jie were still sitting on the sofa, he was immediately furious.

Lu Chen and Liu Jie then realized what was happening and quickly carried Da Hu out of the Paramount. Huang Dayong drove Da Hu towards the hospital.
