Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

The Japanese soldiers guarding the area clearly recognized Lu Chen; upon seeing him, they immediately lowered their guns.

Lu Chen didn't pay attention and walked straight into the Japanese military camp with his head down.

As soon as he walked in, Lu Chen saw Matsumoto Kiyoko, Murakami Takayuki, and the company commander. The three of them were wandering around the granary.

"Lu Sang? What brings you here?"

Murakami Takayuki spotted Lu Chen walking straight towards him at a glance.

Kiyoko Matsumoto only brought a driver this time, without notifying Lu Chen at all. Why did he come? Did he receive some news?

Thinking this, Murakami Takayuki looked at Lu Chen with a wary gaze.

Kiyoko Matsumoto also saw Lu Chen, frowned, but did not say anything.

The Japanese company commander stood behind the two men the whole time, and his expression didn't change at all when he saw Lu Chen.

"Since I had nothing to do last time and didn't find anything, I thought I'd come back and investigate again."

As he spoke, Lu Chen approached Matsumoto Kiyoko and whispered in her ear.

"Team leader, I have something to report. Should I say it here, or..."

After speaking, Lu Chen stood next to Matsumoto Kiyoko, waiting for her reply.

Murakami Ryūan frowned when he saw Lu Chen and Matsumoto Kiyoko standing so close, but remembering Matsumoto Kiyoko's instructions, he remained silent.

"Let's say it here, we're all on the same side."

Kiyoko Matsumoto glanced at Lu Chen, then casually told him to speak directly.

Lu Chen noticed Murakami Takayuki's expression, an expression as if he were defiling his most precious possession.

Without a second thought, Lu Chen immediately spoke, uttering the words he had already prepared.

"Team leader, the rice shop I investigated before, I found that it sells grain every day, and at the same low price. It's making a complete loss for them."

Lu Chen didn't name names or offer any of his own speculations; he simply laid the matter bare before Matsumoto Kiyoko.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Matsumoto Kiyoko immediately frowned.

Lu Chen had told her that the owner of that rice shop was Zhang Rongshan, but Zhang Rongshan was a member of their Japanese army, and he was all alone. How could he get food out of the military camp?

"I see."

Kiyoko Matsumoto nodded, deciding to investigate the matter more thoroughly tomorrow.

Lu Chen knew that even if Zhang Rongshan was a Japanese agent, he would definitely be suspected if he told Matsumoto Kiyoko this news.

"Team leader, you guys get back to work, I'll investigate further."

Before Matsumoto Kiyoko could speak, Lu Chen turned and walked towards the granary.

"You go with him."

Kiyoko Matsumoto stared at Lu Chen's back before turning to speak to the Japanese company commander.

He then led Murakami Takaan back to the captain's tent.

Lu Chen walked into the granary. It was unchanged from when he last came; it was full of grain again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I've never seen so much grain in my life."

The squad leader followed behind Lu Chen. Lu Chen had noticed him long ago. Seeing that someone was following him, he knew that Matsumoto Kiyoko was still worried about him coming to the granary alone.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the squad leader did not speak, but simply stood beside him.

"Lu Sang, who do you think could have moved so much grain so quietly in such a short time?"

Upon hearing his question, Lu Chen's eyes flickered, a smile played on his lips, and he began to speak.

"With an inside contact, bringing more men would make it possible."

"for example......"

Lu Chen turned to look at the squad leader, who also looked at him with amusement.

Lu Chen didn't keep them in suspense and then spoke.

"Squad leader, do you know the Green Gang?"

"have no idea."

The company commander shook his head. He had never heard of the Green Gang or anything like that. As for the Japanese soldiers like them, apart from the battalion commander, they were all from the Green Gang.

The others were mostly engaged in fighting and resting, fighting here and there before moving on to another place.

There was absolutely no chance to understand the power dynamics of a place, or to communicate with them.

"Zhang Rongshan of the Green Gang has the ability to steal your grain without anyone noticing, but we just don't know who the inside man is."

As Lu Chen spoke, he glanced at the squad leader out of the corner of his eye. Before the squad leader could think too much, he continued to speak.

"Perhaps one of his men is among the puppet troops here. That way, he would have a perfect opportunity to steal it while you're away, don't you think?"

After saying that, Lu Chen walked out of the granary, leaving the company commander alone to ponder.

When Lu Chen arrived at the tent of Murakami Takaan, he did not knock or make any loud noise.

He had just seen Murakami Takayuki and Matsumoto Kiyoko enter the tent. Lu Chen stood at the door like a gatekeeper, preparing to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Commander, are these the only soldiers you have at your disposal?"

That's Kiyoko Matsumoto's voice, as cold as ever.

"Yes, my current position is not enough to gain more military power."

That was Murakami Takayuki's voice. Lu Chen didn't even need to look to know that the two of them were definitely sitting and standing, and Matsumoto Kiyoko was undoubtedly the one sitting.

"It's alright, I'll take care of these things for you. As long as you're loyal, you know my status; it won't be difficult for me to do these things."

"Whether it's war or anything else, I don't care."

loyalty?

Lu Chen stroked his chin, feeling a bit strange. Murakami Takaan was originally Japanese, and even a battalion commander in the Japanese army. Why would anyone say he was loyal?

And what about Matsumoto Kiyoko's identity? Is it that even war isn't worth her concern?

Lu Chen couldn't figure it out, but one thing was certain: Matsumoto Kiyoko's identity was definitely not as simple as the head of the intelligence section.

Her true identity is probably far too high, after all, she can even interfere in the Japanese military officer system and arrange people at will.

Lu Chen noticed that the company commander had come out of the granary and was looking right at him.

Seeing his gaze, Lu Chen knew he could no longer eavesdrop, so he turned around and tapped the tent twice.

The moment the sound rang out, the conversation inside the tent abruptly ceased.

"Lu Sang? What's wrong?"

Murakami Takayuki lifted a corner of the tent and looked at Lu Chen with a very displeased expression. This Chinese man always came over when there was something going on, which annoyed him.

"Oh, I'm here to see the team leader."

Lu Chen peeked through the crack at Matsumoto Kiyoko sitting inside the room. She was also looking at him with a somewhat angry expression.

"Team leader, I have some matters to attend to at the military police headquarters, so I'll head back now."

Kiyoko Matsumoto didn't speak, but simply nodded with a cold expression.

Seeing that she agreed, Lu Chen turned and left immediately. He did this to clear his name and to better control the rats.

"Xiao Jie, take me to Zhang Rongshan's place."

Lu Chen got into the car and looked at Liu Jie, who was almost asleep in the front row.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Liu Jie snapped out of his daze and quickly started the car.

"This side is all taken care of, now we just need to get things done with Zhang Rongshan..."

Lu Chen thought to himself that he had already dealt with the Japanese side, and all he needed to do next was find out the location of Zhang Rongshan's granary.

Then let Rat Three and Rat Four take action, and Zhang Rongshan will be completely dealt with tomorrow.
