Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

After finishing their drink, Lu Chen and Liu Jie left the private room.

It's said that they snatched meat from Zhang Rongshan's mouth, but in reality, it meant they got his approval to do grain business. They would still have to take care of everything else themselves, and in the end, they would have to share 60% of the profits with him.

"Xiao Jie, go back to the military police station."

Lu Chen turned and went home alone, without getting into the car, because Shu Yi reminded him again that the sound came from the bug again.

So Lu Chen sent Liu Jie away this time and found a secluded place to listen.

"Kuroda's side is making quite a few moves."

After confirming with the rat that no one was following them, Lu Chen found a secluded corner and took out the bugging device.

It's already dark. Because of the war, although there's no danger during the day in the French Concession, no one wants to go out at night.

"Colonel, the man you had me follow didn't do anything unusual. He has a sister, and his sister has a child."

The voice was unfamiliar, and Lu Chen guessed that it was the person who had been following him.

Lu Chen's expression was somewhat unpleasant. The person was following him, and in order to avoid being exposed, his sister and Xiao Yao had no choice but to be discovered.

But this would give Kuroda a handle to use against him.

"Okay, continue tracking. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

"Hi."

That was all the information coming from the bug. After waiting a while and seeing that no more sounds came out, Lu Chen put away the bug and headed home.

My mood was somewhat heavy along the way. My sister and Xiaoyao had been discovered by Kuroda. What if he attacked my family?

"Rat Five, Rat Six, you two stay with Xiao Yao and her sister. If anything unusual happens, notify Rat One immediately and have him tell me."

Upon returning home, Lu Chen immediately had Rat Five and Rat Six follow Xiao Yao and Lu Xiulian, which would put Lu Chen at ease.

Seeing Rat Five and Rat Six run out of the room, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel worried.

Xiao Yao didn't care; she was too young. Lu Chen remembered catching little mice to play with when he was little, treating them like treasures, only to have his grandmother throw them away and make him cry.

The most important thing is my younger sister, Lu Xiulian. What if the rat is discovered and killed?

These mice were painstakingly bred by him, but unfortunately, he has to start all over again.

"We got the grain deal from Zhang Rongshan. With the current situation, grain prices are skyrocketing, and we can make a lot of money. The most crucial question is where we'll get the grain..."

Now that Kuroda knows about his sister's existence, Lu Chen doesn't know if he will take action against her as a test, but it's good to be on guard.

As for food, Lu Chen had already figured it out. He had found out the location of the Japanese army's logistics by letting the rats out last time.

All we need to do is let the rats steal the Japanese army's food without them noticing.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Surely a mouse carrying a grain of rice is acceptable?

"Sigh, this won't work either. Those rats in the sewers are so dirty, and there are so many of them. It's hard to disinfect them."

Lu Chen scratched his head in frustration. He knew where the Japanese army kept their food, but he couldn't get his hands on it, which made him very upset.

Those rats weren't like the first group, because they had to follow along and be disinfected.

"Has the plague been brought under control?"

Thinking of the plague that had occurred before, Lu Chen looked at Rat One and asked.

"Squeak squeak".

"Let them isolate, and if they don't recover within a long time, let them die in the Japanese camp."

The rat population has been largely contained, except for a few that still have the plague.

They were just a few ordinary rats, not the core rats like Rat One, so Lu Chen didn't care.

Besides, I've already bred a fixed group of mice, so their numbers should increase quickly.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse squeaked twice, and Lu Chen frowned instantly.

"I forgot about that."

The rats said that there wasn't enough food, and the food they found couldn't support the large-scale reproduction of their population.

Lu Chen sat up abruptly. "That's right. Since the rats don't have enough food, let them eat the Japanese army's food. We don't have to worry about people getting infected with the virus if they eat it."

"Rat Three, Rat Four, you take the rats and empty the Japanese army's grain warehouse that we discovered last time, to provide for the rats' breeding population."

Moreover, there were also weapons. Each rat could carry a bullet, and the Japanese arsenal would be emptied in no time. The problem was, where should they put all the weapons they had acquired?

If I give it to Wang Yan, he'll definitely ask me where I got so many weapons all by myself.

"It can be sold, but we need to carefully consider the candidate."

Lu Chen walked out the door. It wasn't late at night yet, and Xiao Yao was already asleep. His younger sister, Lu Xiulian, was sitting in the living room listening to the expensive radio she had bought.

"Sis, where's the money I gave you last time? Give it to me, I'll exchange it."

After overhearing the contents of the bug at the military police station earlier that day, Lu Chen had been thinking about exchanging the legal tender that Kuroda had given him.

After hearing just a few words, Lu Chen was almost certain that the Japanese army was printing money.

I estimate that the legal tender will depreciate soon, and all the legal tender I have will probably become worthless.

"Okay."

Lu Xiulian was stunned for a moment, but still turned around and went back to her room to take out the legal tender.

Lu Chen had given his sister 100,000 legal tender before, but now he only has 50,000 left.

"Why did you use it so fast?"

Lu Chen frowned. How long has it been? Is his younger sister, Lu Xiulian, really this wasteful?

"Brother, you can't blame me for this. Who knew prices in the French Concession would be so high, several times higher than in the Chinese-controlled area?"

Lu Xiulian even felt a little wronged. Lu Chen didn't say anything, just nodded, took the money, and went back to his room.

Lu Chen knew that prices were high, but he didn't expect them to be this high.

"I guess it was my sister who spent the money at high-end places with those French women."

Lu Chen decided that he would keep the money himself from now on and give some to his sister every now and then, otherwise his sister would spend it too fast.

"The bank should still be open, let's go straight there."

Fifty thousand legal tender was a huge sum of money in this era. Lu Chen was worried about carrying such a large amount of money, so he put on the cat-face mask.

The French Concession was relatively safe, with few homeless people on the streets and a fairly well-established system.

Lu Chen planned to exchange his money for silver dollars. Wasn't silver dollars the only currency used in movies and TV shows in his previous life?

"I wonder what the exchange rate is between the Chinese yuan and the silver dollar."

When Lu Chen arrived at the bank, he saw people being served by the teller at the counter, so he simply found a seat and sat down to wait.

"Who?"

The mouse in the pocket poked its head out and squeaked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen never expected to run into Huang Jinrong here.

However, he didn't plan to go up and say hello. Right now, he just wanted to exchange his currency and go back to sleep, and think about where to get food tomorrow.

After waiting for a while, Lu Chen saw Huang Jinrong and his men walk out, carrying several boxes in their hands, with Huang Jinrong holding coins in his hand.

"Are they also here to exchange for silver dollars?"

Shaking his head, Lu Chen went to the receptionist, took out his legal tender, and said he wanted to exchange it for silver dollars.

The last 50,000 yuan of Chinese currency was only exchanged for 40,000 yuan of silver dollars. The receptionist said that the exchange rate had recently dropped. Previously, the exchange rate between Chinese currency and silver dollars was 1:1, but recently it had dropped, so this was all that could be exchanged.
