Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Lu Chen approached, the guards stopped him and Liu Jie.

Pulling out his special high-level identification, the Japanese soldier glanced at Lu Chen, then at Liu Jie behind him.

"You can go, but he can't."

Seeing this, Lu Chen had no choice but to ask Liu Jie to wait outside while he went up on stage alone.

Lu Chen originally wanted to walk the red carpet, but after thinking about it, he went around to the side instead, wisely choosing not to walk the red carpet.

"Team leader."

Lu Chen called out to Matsumoto Kiyoko as he approached her.

Kiyoko Matsumoto turned around, her smile vanishing instantly, her voice turning icy.

What are you doing here?

Lu Chen had already thought about how to answer this question. He was the director of the military police, and since the military police had been summoned, it was reasonable for him to come as well.

"Team leader, have you forgotten? I'm the head of the Xiaoxian Military Police. They're all here, how could I not come?"

Lu Chen smiled and said a few words. Matsumoto Kiyoko looked at him deeply, but didn't say anything, tacitly agreeing to let him stand aside.

He glanced between the two men; the dwarf was dressed quite elegantly, but he didn't know who he was.

Below the stage was a group of reporters from various countries, and Lu Chen even saw Chinese reporters.

It's obvious without even thinking that these are traitors who specialize in glorifying and reporting the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.

As soon as the dwarf stepped onto the stage, before he could even speak, a group of reporters swarmed over him, carrying old-fashioned cameras.

Lu Chen's ears were filled with various languages, making his head feel like it was going to explode. He couldn't understand any of them, and the few he could understand were drowned out by the chaos.

"Quiet down, everyone."

Kiyoko Matsumoto blocked the dwarf's path with one hand, speaking in English that Lu Chen couldn't understand.

Seeing that the reporters wouldn't listen to her at all, Matsumoto Kiyoko frowned, and the next second, the surrounding Japanese soldiers immediately surrounded her.

The Japanese soldiers politely ushered the group of reporters outside the cordon.

Then the dwarf man waved his hand and spoke in English, answering questions from the audience, sometimes with Kuroda and Matsumoto Kiyoko answering.

About half an hour passed, and Matsumoto Kiyoko was clearly getting impatient. She looked at a white man in the audience and then at Kuroda.

Kuroda shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on either.

Lu Chen saw their little actions clearly from the side, and then he also turned his gaze to the white man.

He had a very typical white appearance, and when he asked the dwarf man a question, he spoke very excitedly, spitting as he spoke.

"This must be the man the Japanese army wanted to kill. What a pity."

Lu Chen shook his head inwardly. The sniper had already been taken out, and Matsumoto Kiyoko's plan was probably doomed.

Although it's called a stage, it's actually no different from the ground, except that the color is different.

If you were to be shot, you would have to either push to the very front or kill all the reporters in front of you.

Lu Chen yawned. He was a little bored in front of Matsumoto Kiyoko, who was speaking English, which he couldn't understand.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Jie standing not far away, staring at him with curiosity in his eyes.

"What is that?"

Directly in front of him, Lu Chen spotted a reporter-looking man staring intently at the dwarf man on the stage. With one hand in his pocket, he pushed his way through the surrounding reporters and walked towards him step by step.

Lu Chen glanced at Matsumoto Kiyoko, but didn't intend to tell her.

"Matsumoto Kiyoko's suspicion of me has probably reached its peak. I have to do something to avoid being discovered."

Lu Chen's mind was in turmoil, and in the end he chose the option he least wanted to choose: to take a bullet for Matsumoto Kiyoko!

He might lose his life, but given the current situation, if he were to ask to leave Tekotsu, Matsumoto Kiyoko would definitely not let him go, and might even harm his sister and Xiaoyao.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Chen made his decision.

He had to stay in the Special Zone; only in this way could he obtain more useful information and help the anti-Japanese elements fight against Japan!

This would undoubtedly increase Matsumoto Kiyoko's trust in him to an extreme degree, and it was also the only option Lu Chen had in the current situation!

As the person drew closer, Lu Chen took a small step forward.

Kiyoko Matsumoto glanced sideways at him, then at the dwarf man, and said, "Just as I thought."

Kiyoko Matsumoto raised a smug look on her face and leaned back slightly.

Lu Chen's current position is an excellent angle for him to assassinate the dwarf man, and he can kill him with one blow!

But what Lu Chen was doing was not what Matsumoto Kiyoko had in mind at all, and he didn't even notice Matsumoto Kiyoko's actions.

His gaze was now fixed on the reporter who was getting closer and closer.

He had to be completely focused, ensuring the bullets didn't hit his most vital spots, and also gain Matsumoto Kiyoko's complete trust.

His hands were trembling slightly. He had never been shot before and didn't know what it felt like. He was somewhat afraid.

A few seconds later, Lu Chen suddenly clenched his fist. He had decided that this was the only way to gain Matsumoto Kiyoko's complete trust.

Seeing that Lu Chen was only standing slightly in front of her and hadn't made a move yet, Matsumoto Kiyoko frowned slightly, intending to say something.

His gaze suddenly fell on the Chinese reporter at the front, whose hand was already sticking out a little, revealing a black, reflective object.

gun!

Before Matsumoto Kiyoko could react, the Japanese soldiers around her noticed the abnormality first, and two or three of them rushed over to take down the man.

The remaining Japanese soldiers, including Kuroda, surrounded the dwarf man like fearless guards, protecting him from harm.

All of this happened very quickly, and the other reporters had no idea what was going on, causing chaos at the scene.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers around him about to capture him, the man's eyes hardened. Since he couldn't kill the Japanese Emperor, he would kill the two men beside him.

Those who can follow him must be of high status!

Without hesitation, the man pointed the gun directly at Kiyoko Matsumoto.

boom!

The bullet left the barrel, and the next second the man was pinned to the ground by other Japanese soldiers and unable to move.

puff!

Kiyoko Matsumoto's calm face finally revealed a hint of fear, the instinctive fear that living beings have when facing death.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and pounced on the attack.

The faint sound of a bullet entering flesh rang out, and Lu Chen felt as if he had been hit by something, leaving him feeling weak all over.

My left shoulder felt very hot, like molten iron directly touching my skin.

Immediately following was a numbing and burning sensation, leaving Lu Chen powerless and limp on the ground. His breathing suddenly quickened, making it difficult for him to catch his breath.

A few seconds later, I regained consciousness, and intense pain spread throughout my body; it hurt terribly.

Lu Chen didn't know how to describe this pain. It didn't feel like a sharp object being thrown into flesh, but rather like a dull ache, as if a rough branch had been forcefully driven into his flesh.

"The land sinks! The land sinks!"

"Brother Chen!"

His consciousness gradually faded, and in the last second before he lost consciousness, he saw Matsumoto Kiyoko squatting beside him, anxiously calling his name.

Ignoring the Japanese soldiers' attempts to stop him, Liu Jie rushed toward him.
