Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

It's October now, and it's still as hot as summer during the day, but a bit cool at night.

Arriving at his front door, Lu Chen took out his keys, paused for a moment, and then opened the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Chen smelled the aroma. He turned around and saw several plates of stir-fried dishes on the dining table.

"Director, you're back? I saw there were still some groceries at home, so I cooked some."

Shen Ruoqiu came out of the kitchen and saw Lu Chen return, so she began to explain to him.

"Okay, eat up."

Lu Chen didn't know what to say, so he nodded and sat down at the table, picking up his bowl and chopsticks.

During the meal, the two did not exchange any words. Shen Ruoqiu kept glancing at Lu Chen, but Lu Chen was engrossed in his meal and did not notice.

"You'll live at home, cook and clean for me every day, I'll give you money for groceries regularly, and don't come into my room."

After finishing his meal, Lu Chen put down his chopsticks and looked at Shen Ruoqiu before speaking.

He thought about it and decided not to pay Shen Ruoqiu a salary, since she was living with him and eating and drinking his food.

"Okay, Chief, I'll take care of it."

Shen Ruoqiu nodded, she had no objection, and seeing that Lu Chen had finished eating, she stood up and began to clear the dishes.

Seeing that she was tidying up, Lu Chen stood up and went back to his room.

"Rat One".

After entering the room, Lu Chen locked the door and took the mouse out of his pocket.

I glanced at the quicklime placed against the wall, and the floor was covered in white powder, making it look very messy.

"Is the kraft paper all ready?"

Lu Chen only saw quicklime in the Hua Jie sewers during the day. Since Shu Yi didn't say anything, it must have all been done.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse squeaked twice, and Lu Chen knew that everything was done.

"Next is quicklime."

Lu Chen thought to himself that if he wanted the rats to get food from the Japanese army, then the rats had to be disinfected so that they wouldn't have too many bacteria when they came into contact with the food.

After the grain is brought back, it needs to be disinfected again before Lu Chen can sell it with peace of mind.

"Scalding with boiling water should work; just scald it briefly and take it out immediately."

Lu Chen could only think of boiling water for disinfection, but it was also the most practical method.

Although this might affect the taste, people can't even afford to eat, so the taste is secondary; as long as they're full, that's enough.

"Rat One, I'm giving you another task. Spread this powder all over the manhole cover. Let me know as soon as you're done."

After obtaining the method of disinfection with quicklime from Shen Ruoqiu, Lu Chen had been making plans.

To maintain the business of selling grain at low prices, there are only two ways to obtain the grain.

First, try bartering, exchanging goods for food with those big shots, but that might attract their attention.

Secondly, they used their ability to control rats to obtain food from the Japanese army and traitors for free.

Without a doubt, Lu Chen would choose the second option; he didn't want to risk choosing the first.

The second method not only allows you to get something for nothing but also inflicts losses on the enemy.

He loves his country and his people, but he still needs to eat and earn money.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse squeaked twice in response, then scurried out the window.

After washing up, Lu Chen took off his clothes and got into bed. There was one more thing he forgot to ask.

It's about the rat population's reproduction. They sent Rat Three and Rat Four to lead the rats to steal the Japanese army's food, prioritizing it for the brooding rats. I don't know how that went.

"Ask again next time."

Muttering something to himself, Lu Chen closed his eyes and prepared to sleep. He was very tired and too lazy to call Shu Yi back to ask him any more questions.

......

The next morning, Lu Chen got up early.

In this era without mobile phone short videos, Lu Chen's biological clock has become extremely healthy.

I usually get up around 7 a.m.

As soon as I stepped outside, Liu Jie was already waiting there in his car.

"Xiao Jie, is Xiu Lian settling in well?"

After getting into the car, Lu Chen lit a cigarette and then looked at Liu Jie in the rearview mirror and spoke.

"Brother Chen, Xiulian is quite comfortable staying here. Xiaoyao and my brother are not far apart in age, so they can play together and keep each other company."

Liu Jie answered with a smile, and Lu Chen nodded, asking Liu Jie to drive him to the Japanese Concession.

Yesterday I officially joined the Special Intelligence Division. Now I have to go there every morning. If there's something to do, I have to stay; otherwise, I can leave.

As Lu Chen passed by the tailor shop, he saw that a lot of people had already gathered there. The shop opened at eight o'clock, but it was only a little past seven o'clock and people were already waiting there.

"Xiao Jie, go keep an eye on things at the rice shop later."

It seems that releasing the news yesterday was the right thing to do, as it attracted a lot of people.

On the first day of opening, Lu Chen was still a little worried and asked Liu Jie to keep an eye on things.

Liu Jie nodded. He was carrying the gun that Lu Chen had given him yesterday. If anyone dared to cause trouble, he would shoot them!

"Xiao Jie, I'm leaving now. Keep an eye on things and make sure no one causes trouble."

Lu Chen got out of the car, gave Liu Jie some more instructions, and then walked into the Japanese concession.

"Halt, sir, excuse me."

Lu Chen had just arrived at the entrance of the Special Security Bureau and was about to go in when he was stopped by two guards at the gate.

Lu Chen always goes straight in; with the medal Kuroda gave him, there's no need for a body search. But what's going on today?

Seeing that the two guards were familiar faces, Lu Chen asked them for information.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me? Why are you suddenly searching me? What happened?"

Lu Chen looked at the two men with displeasure, and waved his hand behind them after they finished searching, appearing very impatient.

"I'm sorry, sir, but the colonel ordered that everyone entering the Special Higher Police must be searched. We can't afford to offend him."

The two men only found a gun on Lu Chen; they found nothing else.

After returning the gun to Lu Chen, he explained the situation to him again before letting him in.

Kuroda gave the order?

Hearing their conversation, Lu Chen knew something must have happened again, which is why he strengthened his defenses.

Lu Chen didn't go to Kuroda. Even if he asked, Kuroda wouldn't tell him. He went straight to the entrance of the intelligence section and went inside.

"Team leader, do I have any tasks today?"

Lu Chen went directly to Matsumoto Kiyoko to ask if there were any missions today. If there were no missions, he would leave immediately.

After all, you can't just wander around freely in this special place, and you can't find any useful information.

"Lu Jun, our group has a mission today. Why don't you come with me later?"

Kiyoko Matsumoto's brows were furrowed deeply, and it was easy to tell at a glance that she had something on her mind.

Lu Chen didn't expect to have a mission on his second day. He nodded in agreement and asked Matsumoto Kiyoko what the mission was and how difficult it would be.

"It's a simple investigation task. An entire granary at the front line disappeared overnight, and we were ordered to investigate it."

When Matsumoto Kiyoko picked up a stack of papers and spoke, she didn't look at Lu Chen. She gestured for Lu Chen to follow her, and the two walked directly towards the door.
