Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

Chapter 40 The Principal of the Sino-French Academy

The next day, after getting up, Lu Chen looked at the gun in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't take it with him.

He only had two pistols, and Kuroda had taken one of them. If it was taken away again this time, he would be finished. So Lu Chen did not plan to bring a gun when he went to see Kuroda this time.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse poked its head out of the coat and squeaked several times.

Lu Chen frowned and looked at Rat One, "Let Rat Two and the others crawl inside and cause as much damage as they can."

"Then send them back to the Chinese territory and find those two people in white from last time."

After some thought, Lu Chen issued the order.

As Rat One just said, news came from Rat Two's side that the Japanese army has gathered a lot of people, a lot of logistical supplies, and most importantly, artillery fire.

Lu Chen only knew that rats could dirty the grain, but he didn't know how to deal with artillery fire, so he could only ask them to find a way to sabotage it.

If we can't destroy it, it's fine. We can go back to the Chinese territory and find those two doctors from last time. After all, Rat Two and the others remembered the scent of those two last time.

Lu Chen is now in a dilemma. Those two doctors were injecting morphine into the Japanese last time, so it's obvious that they have a lot of morphine on hand.

The Japanese seemed unaware of this, only asking about morphine and then ignoring the two men.

He doesn't have much money right now, and his family needs to make expenses. He has two choices.

First, try to get morphine from those two doctors and hand it over to the organization, but that would likely not yield much of a reward.

The second option is to sell to the Japanese. Judging from how generous the Japanese seem, I'm sure I can make a lot of money.

As he walked, Lu Chen pondered. He was going to Camille's house to learn French, and after that, he planned to visit Colonel Kuroda.

"yes!"

Lu Chen suddenly stopped, his eyes shining. How come he hadn't thought of that?

He could choose neither option; he could sell the morphine to the French army.

As a Sino-French family, Camille's family clearly held some status living in the French Concession, and might even have had connections with the military.

I might as well get my hands on morphine and sell it to the French army. That way, the Japanese army won't become stronger because of morphine, and I can also make some money.

"Let's go to Camille's house first and see if that works."

Having made up his mind, Lu Chen quickened his pace and arrived at Camille's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Camille's father, Ka Jingzhou, sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

From the moment Lu Chen first saw Ka Jingzhou, he felt that he must have a certain status, after all, that kind of demeanor that comes from long-term high position cannot be faked.

After going upstairs to learn French from Camille, Lu Chen didn't rush to leave. Instead, he went to Ka Jingzhou's side and plopped down on the sofa.

Ka Jingzhou glanced at Lu Chen sideways, said nothing, picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued reading the newspaper.

"Mr. Card".

"Um?"

Lu Chen hesitated for a while before speaking.

Ka Jingzhou adjusted his glasses, looking at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression, not understanding what this young man was up to.

"Mr. Camille looks like a very cultured man. No wonder he was able to raise such an outstanding daughter as Camille."

Lu Chen didn't know how to start the conversation, so he simply offered a compliment.

Ka Jingzhou frowned. He had heard this kind of flattery many times before, but he didn't even know this young man. His sudden words made Ka Jingzhou feel that he had ulterior motives, so he was somewhat displeased.

"Young man, what do you want to do?"

When Lu Chen met Ka Jingzhou's gaze, he saw scrutiny in his eyes and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"Sir, I am a businessman, and Miss Camille and I are learning French so that we can do business with the French."

"I recently acquired a batch of excellent items, but my French is still developing and I'm not very proficient. I wonder if Mr. Ka would be willing to act as a facilitator?"

"Of course, I won't let you do this for nothing. I'll share the profits with you on all four levels."

Lu Chen held up four fingers, waiting for Ka Jingzhou's answer.

Ka Jingzhou took off his glasses, put down his newspaper, and glanced at Lu Chen. The profits from the fourth floor were considerable, but it also depended on what was being sold.

"What kind of business do you want to do with the French?"

"Hmm... I'm only telling Mr. Ka this news, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else."

Lu Chen feigned hesitation, then finally sighed and said in a conciliatory tone.

"Yes, that's fine."

Ka Jingzhou simply nodded, without offering any further assurances.

Lu Chen looked at Ka Jingzhou and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Morphine, I recently acquired a batch of morphine and intend to sell it to the French army."

Ka Jingzhou, who had been calm, became interested when he heard the word "morphine".

With war raging all over the world, morphine is a resource of great strategic value. Selling it to the French army would be very profitable.

"morphine?"

"Yes, it's morphine. As long as you're willing to act as the bridge, I'm willing to give you 40% of the profits."

Lu Chen reiterated his assurance, and seeing the excited expression on Ka Jingzhou's face, he knew that the matter was almost certain to succeed.

Ka Jingzhou did not reply, but stood up and paced back and forth in the room, pondering the pros and cons of the matter.

"As the principal of the Sino-French Academy, it's easy for me to make connections. If I can make connections for this kid, I can not only make a lot of money, but also improve my status in the French army. It's all beneficial."

After realizing that this matter would only benefit him and not harm him, Ka Jingzhou sat back down on the sofa, unconsciously getting closer to Lu Chen.

Although this matter was very beneficial to him, he did not show it on the surface.

"Mr. Lu, this matter is a bit difficult. Even for me, the principal, it's not easy to make contact with the French army."

Ka Jingzhou shook his head and sighed, unknowingly revealing his true identity.

headmaster?

Lu Chen was somewhat surprised. He knew that Ka Jingzhou had some status, but he didn't expect him to be a school principal.

Most of the schools in the French Concession were jointly run by Chinese and French forces, and the principals of all those schools had good relationships with the French military.

I never expected that the French teacher Huang Dayong arranged for me would have this kind of identity?

However, Lu Chen then felt that Ka Jingzhou was being a bit pretentious. With his status, it would be easy for him to build a bridge, so it was not easy for him to put on airs.

"But since you're my daughter's student, how about this: give me 5%, and I'll help you build this connection."

Ka Jingzhou held up five fingers, stating his terms.

"Alright, Mr. Card, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Lu Chen pretended to be conflicted and reached out to shake hands with Ka Jingzhou.

The idea of ​​selling morphine came to him suddenly; all he needed to do was prevent the Japanese army from getting their hands on it.

"But this is too little money."

Lu Chen was still a little reluctant to part with half of the profits. Anyone would feel the pinch, especially since he was just an intermediary.

"Mr. Ka, I can get a lot of morphine, but I only have one chance, and I don't have much money on me..."

Lu Chen planned to make Ka Jingzhou bleed money too. Getting morphine from those two doctors would definitely cost money, so he would take this opportunity to squeeze more out of Ka Jingzhou.
