Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

Over the next few days, everything went smoothly.

That day, Lu Chen was dozing off in the military police office when Liu Jie knocked on the door and came in, holding a newspaper.

"Brother Chen, something big has happened again."

Liu Jie looked grave. Lu Chen took the newspaper from him and looked at it carefully.

He immediately perked up. The contents of the newspaper were good news for Lu Chen, but deadly news for Zhang Rongshan.

The newspaper reported that the Japanese army had thoroughly enraged the anti-Japanese organizations, which were launching indiscriminate attacks, especially against pro-Japanese elements like Zhang Rongshan, who were assassinated by the anti-Japanese organizations.

As soon as Liu Jie walked out the door, Lu Chen jumped up from his chair.

"Heaven is helping me!"

Lu Chen had always wanted to kill Zhang Rongshan, but he kept looking for an opportunity. However, Zhang Rongshan was too powerful and didn't give Lu Chen any chance at all.

But now, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Zhang Rongshan was assassinated. I don't know if threatening him now will work."

Lu Chen thought to himself, "I'll take a look first."

Now, those pro-Japanese elements in the Chinese-speaking areas must be feeling insecure. Lu Chen can take this opportunity to consolidate his territory and prepare for taking down Zhang Rongshan in the future.

"Xiao Jie, in your name, open the rice warehouses and distribute the grain!"

Those people wielded immense power over the common people, which is why Lu Chen naturally sided with them.

Anyway, there's no shortage of food right now. In the past few days, Liu Jie and his men have taken over many forces, and Lu Chen naturally took over their food and other items.

And so, Lu Chen now has a ton of silver dollars and a huge amount of grain, making him absolutely certain of claiming territory and becoming king.

But he certainly won't do that; everything he does is for the people.

"Xiao Jie, spend the next few days walking around Zhang Rongshan's neighborhood and observing the situation."

Lu Chen gave Liu Jie two tasks: one was to distribute grain, and the other was to observe Zhang Rongshan.

After Liu Jie left, Lu Chen stayed at the military police station until dark.

Some time has passed, and during this time he has been going to that small bar every day to keep an eye on whether Sato Yosho meets with the man.

The two only met once during that period, and each time they only talked. It is unknown whether they will continue with a specific transaction this time.

He touched the camera in his pocket; it was a gift from Liu Jie. The film was already loaded, and now all he had to do was wait for the two of them to meet up and take a picture.

With this thought in mind, Lu Chen got up and walked out of the military police office.

That little tavern was near the edge of the Chinese-controlled area, where there were very few Japanese people; you could hardly see any.

The tavern was not far from the military police headquarters, which was located in the center of the Chinese-controlled area, allowing it to reach all the surrounding areas and making it convenient for the military police members to manage the area.

After leaving the military police station, following his memory, Lu Chen headed towards the small tavern.

When they arrived at the tavern, it was still bright outside; it was noon.

Lu Chen disguised himself casually before heading to the tavern.

In a familiar corner of the tavern, Sato Yosho and the man were already sitting there, talking.

Lu Chen ignored their words and instead took out the camera from his pocket and took a picture of the two of them.

In the photo, Sato Yosho is smiling, with one hand on the man's shoulder, appearing very intimate.

Looking at the photo, Lu Chen smiled and tucked it into his pocket.

If this photo were shown to Kiyoko Matsumoto, her suspicions about Yosho Sato would be amplified to an extreme degree.

But that's not enough. What Lu Chen needs to do is to completely crush Sato Yosho, so this one piece of evidence is not enough; he needs other supporting evidence.

"Song Jun, I'm entrusting this batch of supplies to you. You must not let me down."

Sato Yosho's face was flushed from drinking, and his gaze shifted uncertainly as he looked at the man, his eyes filled with both hope and fear.

He obtained these supplies from TGOTRI. As the head of the intelligence section, he wielded considerable power, making it easy for him to acquire such supplies.

But if he were discovered, not only would he be punished, but his entire family in the homeland would be disgraced, and that was the root of his fear.

"Don't worry, brother. We hit it off right away. I'll pay you tomorrow. Just come here to collect the money."

The man couldn't stop smiling.

Organizing has always been difficult, but with this batch of supplies, it will be a little easier to get through the winter.

As for the deal, what deal? Taking things from the Japanese devils, how could he possibly pay for them?

Sato Yosho, however, became excited upon hearing the man's words and downed several glasses of wine in quick succession.

Seeing this, Lu Chen stood up and walked out of the tavern; there was no need to listen any further.

Since Sato Yosho has already issued a batch of winter supplies, all he needs to do is get the list of these supplies.

Then hand this photo, along with the supply list, to Matsumoto Kiyoko. That way, Sato Yosho will definitely be arrested.

That man was someone Matsumoto Kiyoko personally instructed Lu Chen to keep an eye on; he was suspected of being an anti-Japanese element.

Sato Yosho probably doesn't know about this, otherwise why would he contact him? This is far too sensitive.

If Lu Chen hadn't known, he would have thought Sato Yosho was a spy.

Lu Chen left the tavern. It was getting dark, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a few people would rush by, all of them with their necks hunched and their cotton-padded coats wrapped tightly around their shoulders.

Winter has arrived, and the days are getting colder.

Lu Chen lit a cigarette and slowly walked towards the military police station, his mind preoccupied with something.

Sato Yosho's situation is almost settled; we have the photos, and we need to get the supplies list as soon as possible.

Kiyoko Matsumoto instructed her to keep an eye on the big beard. She did keep an eye on him, but if what she found out could help her kill one of her section chiefs, that would be a significant achievement.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

wrong.

Did Matsumoto Kiyoko genuinely suspect that the man with the big beard was an anti-Japanese element, or... did she have another purpose?

Did she know that Yosho Sato had dealings with that bearded man?

Lu Chen took a drag of his cigarette and squinted. Matsumoto Kiyoko may look cold, but she has a very deep mind.

If she really knew Sato Yosho was involved in something, why didn't she just take action herself? With her mysterious background, would she need to use my hand to investigate a section chief?

Unless she's unsure herself, or rather, she wants to take this opportunity to see just how capable she really is.

Lu Chen flicked the cigarette butt into the darkness, a smirk playing on his lips. "Fine, then I'll show her what I'm capable of."

Back at the military police headquarters, Liu Jie was still there, squatting in the courtyard distributing supplies to the team members in front of him. When Lu Chen entered, they all stood up and called him "Brother Chen."

Lu Chen waved his hand and called Liu Jie into the house.

"How's the rice storage going?"

"It went quite smoothly," Liu Jie wiped his face. "At first, the people were afraid to take it, but after some people took it, everyone came to take it. Brother Chen, we've released almost half of our grain."
