Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

When Huang Dayong returned, he brought a woman with him, saying that she was the teacher he had hired for Lu Chen.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Chen, my name is Camille, and I will be your French teacher from now on."

Camille was dressed very fashionably in a dress with white butterfly patterns, over which she wore a brown women's coat.

Lu Chen deduced that at least one of Camille's parents was Chinese, because Camille had a mixed-race appearance and spoke Mandarin very well.

"Hello there."

Lu Chen politely extended his hand and shook hers briefly before parting.

Camille's short brown hair is slightly wavy, a very fashionable hairstyle right now.

"I don't know where Huang Dayong found such a beauty."

Lu Chen muttered to himself that the teaching would definitely not take place in the military police headquarters. Camille gave Lu Chen an address, saying that it was her home in the French Concession, and the teaching would take place there.

Camille told Lu Chen to go tomorrow, so Lu Chen wasn't in a hurry.

"How is it? Pretty, right?"

As Camille turned and walked out the door, Huang Dayong approached, his eyes lecherously fixed on Camille's retreating figure.

Lu Chen glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain. This fatso is shameless.

Before Lu Chen could reply, Huang Dayong returned to his office chair, tapped his foot on the table, and spoke.

"You little rascal, you're obviously a newbie. I'll take you somewhere tonight, I'll show you something fun."

Lu Chen didn't know what Huang Dayong meant by "fun," but since he was invited, he naturally accepted.

Huang Dayong now completely considers Lu Chen as one of his own, of course, this is because Lu Chen still has some use to him.

Lu Chen spent the day at the military police headquarters with nothing to do, occasionally feeding the rat.

"I wonder how Rat Two and the others are doing. We haven't heard a single word from them in so long."

Lu Chen couldn't help but worry about Rat Two and the others, after all, these rats had become quite clever under Rat One's accumulated teaching.

At least now they can understand Lu Chen's meaning and can distinguish the Japanese soldiers. Lu Chen doesn't want them to die like this.

"Brother Chen, did you keep a pet rat?"

Liu Jie came to Lu Chen's side and, seeing the obedient mouse in Lu Chen's hand, Liu Jie immediately became interested.

I've seen people keep cats and dogs, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone keep mice as a pet.

"Liu Jie?"

Lu Chen looked at Liu Jie. At this time, the military police were basically patrolling the streets, which was why he dared to let the rat out for some fresh air.

At this moment, Liu Jie actually returned, which Lu Chen did not expect.

"Yeah, I think this little thing is obedient, so I'll keep it as a pet."

Since Liu Jie had already discovered it, it would be too deliberate to hide it again, Lu Chen casually explained.

"By the way, have you made arrangements for your family? And shouldn't you be on patrol at this time? Why are you back?"

Liu Jie pulled up a chair, sat down next to Lu Chen, lit a cigarette and offered one to Lu Chen, but Lu Chen waved his hand and refused.

"It's all arranged. I've spent half a month's salary to rent a place."

"Sigh, they call it patrolling, but it's just collecting protection money. I don't want to do that kind of thing, so I came back."

Liu Jie didn't want to say much, and you could tell he was a little unhappy.

Lu Chen glanced at him but didn't say anything. From what he could see, Liu Jie seemed like a decent person, at least a passionate young Chinese man.

"Come with me tonight, I'll take you out to have some fun."

Fortunately, nothing was wrong. Lu Chen invited Liu Jie to come with him later that evening, and Liu Jie nodded without thinking much of it.

Even as night fell, the military police were still patrolling outside and had not returned. Huang Dayong told Da Hu to get in the car and drive Lu Chen and Liu Jie toward the central area of ​​the Chinese territory.

Seeing that Lu Chen was with Liu Jie, he didn't pay any attention. They were just going to have some fun and not to talk about anything important, so he figured he might as well follow along.

"Today I'm taking you to the Paramount Ballroom. The owner there is Zhang Rongshan, a big shot in the Japanese army and the Green Gang."

In the car, Huang Dayong mysteriously introduced the owner of the Paramount Ballroom to Lu Chen and Liu Jie.

Lu Chen remained silent, quietly gathering intelligence, while Liu Jie wore a disdainful expression, though Huang Dayong did not notice.

Huang Dayong sat in the front row, while Lu Chen and Liu Jie sat in the back row.

"The Green Gang was mainly divided into three major forces: Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Rongshan. Huang Jinrong always maintained a neutral attitude, Du Yuesheng actively advocated resistance against Japan, and Zhang Rongshan never expressed his attitude. I heard that he had close contact with the Japanese in secret."

Liu Jie knew a little about the Green Gang, and seeing that Lu Chen was a bit confused, he quickly explained.

Liu Jie didn't deliberately hide it; these weren't secrets at all, and anyone could easily find out by asking around.

The Green Gang? Du Yuesheng?

Hearing these two names, Lu Chen was no longer sleepy. Although he didn't know much about them, he had vivid memories of those from his previous life on the internet.

Especially Du Yuesheng, who was said to be the most powerful man in Shanghai during that period, but I don't know if that's true or not.

"We went to the Paramount Ballroom today to see if we could run into Zhang Rongshan. He controls several highly profitable businesses. If he could even get us a taste of the profits, we'd be rolling in money."

Huang Dayong revealed the purpose of his trip to the Paramount Ballroom, and also mentioned that Zhang Rongshan had considerable contact with Japanese businessmen and politicians.

He also wanted to use this opportunity to build a good relationship with Zhang Rongshan, hoping to gain something from it; the most important thing was to establish a good relationship.

This is also why he brought Lu Chen along; since Zhang Rongshan needs to deal with the Japanese, he will naturally need a translator.

Huang Dayong believes that among all the translators he has used, Lu Chen's Japanese proficiency is top-notch.

As they were talking, they arrived at their destination. Huang Dayong stopped talking, opened the door, and the group got out of the car one after another.

Da Hu stood behind Huang Dayong, Liu Jie stood behind Lu Chen, and Lu Chen was slightly behind Huang Dayong by half a step.

Two doormen stood at the entrance of the Paramount Ballroom to greet customers; the red and blue lights flashed continuously, but were not glaring.

One doorman stepped forward, took the keys from Da Hu, and helped them park the car, while another doorman led them to the private room.

"Hey sir, I heard Zhang Rongshan is at the Paramount Ballroom today? Could you take me to meet him?"

As soon as he entered the Paramount Ballroom, Huang Dayong couldn't wait to have the doorman take him to see Zhang Rongshan.

That's why he came here today. Otherwise, with his current wealth, what woman couldn't he find? Why would he need to come here to have fun?

The doorman glanced at the group without saying a word, his disdain undisguised.

Every day, countless people come to the Paramount Ballroom hoping to see their boss, using all sorts of excuses. It seems like any oddball can get a chance to meet Zhang Rongshan.

"How many people come every day wanting to see the boss? Are you suggesting I take you to see him?"

The doorman showed no attitude of serving guests and was extremely arrogant.

"Hey buddy, could you do me a favor?"

Even so, Huang Dayong didn't dare to offend him and even took out a stack of Chinese currency and stuffed it into his hands.

Although he appears to have a good relationship with Colonel Kuroda, if he were to actually have a conflict with Zhang Rongshan, Colonel Kuroda would certainly not care about him.

The three major factions of the Green Gang basically controlled 80% of the gray market in Shanghai, and had a large number of members, making them a considerable force in the community.

Furthermore, Zhang Rongshan is clearly pro-Japanese, and Colonel Kuroda would definitely choose Zhang Rongshan without hesitation between Huang Dayong and Zhang Rongshan.
