Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"Brother Chen, what about us?"

Liu Jie turned to look at Lu Chen. Huang Dayong had driven away without taking them.

"Let's go back to the French Concession."

Looking at the time, it was already quite late, so Lu Chen decided to go back first.

Liu Jie nodded, and then the two walked together toward the French Concession. When they arrived at the entrance, Liu Jie told Lu Chen his address in the French Concession and then said goodbye to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen could freely enter and exit the French Concession, but Liu Jie could not. He had to take a long detour and find a place without French guards to climb over the wall.

As Lu Chen entered the French Concession, he saw his niece, Xiao Yao, being held by a strange woman at the front door.

What happened?

Lu Chen frowned and strode in.

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing Lu Chen, Xiao Yao happily reached out her hand. Lu Chen hugged Xiao Yao, whose eyes were red and whose face was clearly marked with tears.

After taking Xiao Yao from the woman, Lu Chen moved a few steps away from her, looking at her with some wariness, while his hand reached for his lower back.

Damn!

Lu Chen forgot that he now habitually doesn't carry a handgun when he goes out because he has to deal with the Japanese, and carrying a handgun would get him searched.

"I am Teacher Xiaoyao. What's wrong with you parents? It's so late and no one has come to pick up Xiaoyao. I had to carry her to the home address you left at the school, but I found no one home. I was worried about leaving Xiaoyao alone, so I waited here."

The woman had a Chinese face and was furious with Lu Chen. In her opinion, it was extremely irresponsible of a parent to forget the time their child would be picked up from school.

Lu Chen didn't believe her one-sided story. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yao in his arms and asked her who the person in front of him was.

Xiao Yao said it was Teacher Chen, and Lu Chen was slightly relieved.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, I'm usually busy with work, so my sister picks up Xiaoyao."

Only then did Lu Chen take a serious look at the woman in front of him.

It's already autumn, and the woman is wearing a simple floral dress and glasses, giving off a very artsy vibe.

She dresses very stylishly, and her unique temperament is something that cannot be imitated.

With just one glance, Lu Chen could tell that this woman came from a good family; if not extremely wealthy, she was at least from a highly educated family.

"Be more careful next time. School ends at 16 PM, don't miss it."

The woman rolled her eyes at Lu Chen, stomped her shoes loudly, and walked away into the distance.

I took out my key and opened the door; the room was pitch black.

Lu Chen frowned. It was already this late, why hadn't his sister returned yet?

Lu Xiulian said she was going out to find a job, but what kind of job is this where people are still working at this hour?

Lu Chen had a bad feeling. Xiao Yao was drowsy in his arms. He took Xiao Yao back to the room, and she fell asleep soon after.

Back in his room, Lu Chen tucked both guns into his waistband, then went to his sister's room to let Rat remember the scent.

"Rat One, follow this scent and lead me there."

"Squeak squeak".

With a nod of agreement, Lu Chen put the rat, which was trying to climb onto his shoulder, back into his pocket.

He was about to call Liu Jie, because if his sister really encountered something, he would obviously be at a disadvantage fighting alone.

Moreover, Lu Xiulian, the younger sister, must have encountered some trouble that delayed her; otherwise, it would be very strange that she hasn't come home for so long.

dong dong dong.

Liu Jie's home is quite far away, while Lu Chen's home is in a good location in the French Concession, just a few streets away from the bustling area.

The place where Liu Jie's family lived was on the edge of the French Concession. It was mostly inhabited by Chinese people who had fled into the French Concession. It was far from the bustling areas, so the rent was relatively cheap.

Who is it?

Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Jie was a little annoyed. He had just taken off his clothes and was about to rest, but now he had to put them back on.

"It's so late, Brother Chen? What do you want with me so late?"

Liu Jie opened the door, his tone somewhat unpleasant, but he immediately softened when he saw that it was Lu Chen.

"Liu Jie, my sister is in trouble. Come with me."

Lu Chen couldn't think that far ahead right now. He quickly said something and followed Rat One's directions, running in the other direction.

"Wait for me, Brother Chen!"

Liu Jie turned around, went back inside to get a coat, closed the door, and followed Lu Chen while putting it on.

They arrived at the most bustling area of ​​the French Concession, just a few streets away from Lu Chen's home.

It was late at night, and the place was brightly lit and bustling with young people who didn't stop having fun despite the time passing.

"Brother Chen, you have a younger sister? How come I didn't know?"

Liu Jie arrived a step behind Lu Chen, and it was the first time he had ever heard that Lu Chen actually had a younger sister.

Lu Chen didn't speak, but followed Rat One's guidance and led Liu Jie to the most conspicuous building.

The building has a large entrance and is crowded inside; you can hear the noise from outside.

"Brother Chen, this looks like a casino."

Upon seeing this, Liu Jie immediately recognized that this was a casino.

"casino?"

What's my sister doing here? Lu Chen couldn't figure it out. He knew his sister's personality; she wouldn't come to a casino to look for a job.

"Yes, and it's the only casino in the entire French Concession. I heard the owner is Huang Jinrong, and everyone says he's like a Pixiu, only eating and never excreting."

Although Liu Jie was just a gang leader in the Chinese-speaking world, he knew quite a bit about these underworld affairs and could say a few words about anything.

Huang Jinrong...

Lu Chen's heart sank; it was Huang Jinrong, one of the three giants of the Green Gang.

"call."

Letting out a breath, Lu Chen touched the two pistols at his waist. The cold touch reassured him somewhat. He then led Liu Jie inside.

Every card table in the casino was surrounded by people, some sighing and others excited.

There were also waitresses and waitresses carrying tea and wine weaving through the crowd.

The rat in the pocket was still guiding him, but it couldn't appear in front of Liu Jie and so many other people. It could only guide him from inside Lu Chen's pocket.

The two weaved through the crowd and arrived at the card table in the center of the casino. Lu Chen spotted his sister, Lu Xiulian, at a glance.

Lu Xiulian was being pulled by a man. Lu Chen and Lu Xiulian were siblings. Neither of them were particularly good-looking, but they were still considered good-looking.

"Damn it!"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to draw his pistol. He stepped forward, pushed the man aside, and pulled Lu Xiulian over.

"elder brother?!"

Upon seeing that it was Lu Chen, Lu Xiulian quickly hid behind him, her voice still choked with sobs, as she reached out to smooth out the corner of her slightly lifted cheongsam.

"Who are you? What's it to you?"

Seeing that someone was ruining his plans just as he was about to succeed, the man, without even checking the situation at the gambling table, angrily pointed his finger at Lu Chen.

"Damn it, who are you pointing at?"

Seeing this man being so arrogant towards Lu Chen, Liu Jie, whose family had been saved by Lu Chen, couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward and kicked the man to the ground, cursing under his breath.
