Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"What were the results of the investigation?"

Matsumoto Kiyoko led Ye Qingchang into the office and asked Lu Chen and Fu Yangshan expressionlessly.

"Team leader, there's a problem with Ye Qingchang from the action team."

Before Lu Chen could reply, Fu Yangshan glanced at him and spoke first.

Lu Chen didn't say a word.

Ye Qingchang stood behind Matsumoto Kiyoko, expressionless.

Upon hearing Fu Yangshan's words, Matsumoto Kiyoko made no comment. Instead, she turned to look at Ye Qingchang before addressing Lu Chen and Fu Yangshan.

"This is Ye Qingchang."

"Team leader, this is the guy I was talking about. He's suspicious!"

Upon hearing the name of the person behind Matsumoto Kiyoko, Fu Yangshan immediately tried to take credit in front of her, speaking excitedly.

Kiyoko Matsumoto ignored him completely and continued speaking expressionlessly.

"Fu Yangshan, your investigation is correct. Ye Qingchang does have problems. He was an anti-Japanese element, but he has already betrayed us."

"I brought him here to report important intelligence."

Before Fu Yangshan could make a move, Lu Chen was startled.

He went to Ye Qingchang's house to investigate and, through subtle clues, determined that the whole family were anti-Japanese elements.

Moreover, he received false intelligence that he had already betrayed the country, and now he is being told that Ye Qingchang has betrayed the country?

"I used to be an anti-Japanese activist, but that was because I was misled. Now I am loyal to the Imperial Army."

Ye Qingchang took a step forward, glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Matsumoto Kiyoko.

"Miss Kiyoko, there are two anti-Japanese elements at my residence. They and I were ordered to infiltrate the Special High Command to gather intelligence on you."

Sure enough.

Lu Chen thought to himself that the old woman was indeed no ordinary person, and her husband must also be an anti-Japanese activist.

Finally, Ye Qingchang betrayed him, which was something Lu Chen hadn't expected. He had felt a little guilty about getting rid of him, but now that he had betrayed him, he could act without any burden.

As for the other two agents, he had to make sure they survived.

The big ghost claimed to have betrayed them, but he hadn't betrayed them at all. He had to save them to prove himself!

"Lu Chen, Fu Yangshan, take a few members of your action team and bring those two back!"

Having received Ye Qingchang's personal admission, Matsumoto Kiyoko immediately ordered Lu Chen and Fu Yangshan to make the arrest.

The two nodded and walked directly out of the office to the action team.

On the way, Fu Yangshan glanced at Lu Chen, snorted coldly, and quickly overtook Lu Chen, taking the lead to the action team.

Lu Chen ignored him, but was secretly pondering in his heart.

Ye Qingchang has betrayed us, but the other two agents have not. All the agents should have received the false news that he himself has betrayed us.

As for Ye Qingchang and the other two, they probably hadn't had time to check yet, and the old woman may have already discovered that the information had disappeared.

All I need to do now is save those two people and have them bring back the information about Ye Qingchang and the powerful ghost above. Then all these problems will be solved.

Lu Chen and Fu Yangshan had just arrived at the entrance of the action team.

As if he had received advance notice, Zhao Shutian limped out of the door to greet him, a fawning smile plastered on his face.

"I need to transfer more people, give me more manpower."

Fu Yangshan, eager to claim credit, grabbed Zhao Shutian and yelled that he wanted to transfer people.

Seeing several members of the action team running towards them from a distance, Lu Chen nudged Fu Yangshan's arm and whispered.

"What's the rush? Ye Qingchang has already betrayed us, and his accomplices have probably already gotten wind of it and fled. If we rush over there, we'll probably just find nothing."

Fu Yangshan glanced at him, shook his head, and looked like he was hopeless.

"What do you know? Your chance to make a contribution is right in front of you, stop pretending!"

Soon, more than a dozen members of the action team arrived, and Lu Chen and Fu Yangshan led them toward Sanwan Yilong.

Lu Chen deliberately walked at the back of the group, the mouse in his pocket reminding him once again.

The person was still following him, even more closely than before.

It is clear that Matsumoto Kiyoko still harbors doubts about Lu Chen, and this arrest is probably the ultimate test for him.

Lu Chen quickened his pace without making a sound and walked to Fu Yangshan at the front of the group.

As soon as the group arrived at Ye Qingchang's house, the dilapidated wooden door was already open. The house was empty, with only a few straws scattered on the ground.

"They ran away?"

Fu Yangshan's expression changed drastically, and he led his men into the house, turning it upside down.

"I was just here. The old woman was about fifty or sixty years old. Even if she ran away, she shouldn't have gone very far."

Lu Chen looked at the hollow straw area by the door. After he took the letter, it was obvious that someone had rummaged through it.

The elderly couple must have realized the letter was missing and there was a risk of exposure, so they left before even notifying Ye Qingchang.

"They must have left in a hurry; they didn't take anything with them."

The room was no different from when Lu Chen first arrived, except that no one was there.

Fu Yangshan and his men searched the house incessantly, hoping to find something useful, but apart from a few tattered clothes, they found nothing.

"Damn it, why did they get advance notice and escape? Who tipped them off?!"

Enraged, Fu Yangshan kicked over a wooden table next to him.

Just as Lu Chen was about to continue speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar.

Looking back, it was Matsumoto Kiyoko, followed by Ye Qingchang and several Japanese soldiers with guns.

Lu Chen was surprised that Matsumoto Kiyoko had personally led a team to come over.

Kiyoko Matsumoto coldly swept her gaze across the empty room, her eyes fixed on Lu Chen, as if she wanted to dissect him from the inside out.

"Lu Chen, you were here beforehand. Did you let them escape?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yangshan immediately seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, as he was already jealous of Lu Chen's treatment at the Special Higher Special School.

"Team leader, I felt something was off with Lu Chen. He kept dragging his feet when he was with the action team and deliberately distracted me. He must have been the one tipping me off."

Lu Chen sneered inwardly, but remained calm on the surface. He raised his hand and pointed at Ye Qingchang behind Matsumoto Kiyoko.

"Team leader, if we're talking about tipping someone off, he's the most likely one. He's feigning defection to gain our trust by infiltrating TGOIT, so his comrades can evacuate ahead of time."

This was a plan Lu Chen had already devised: since he wanted to make Fu Yangshan the scapegoat...

Then we have to kill Ye Qingchang, that traitor in the organization, first.

Then, by bringing Fu Yangshan's impatience, recklessness, and eagerness to make a name for himself to the forefront, the dirty water can be gradually shifted onto him.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ye Qingchang was terrified and immediately began to repeatedly tell Matsumoto Kiyoko that he was truly betraying her.

The Japanese army had absolutely no humane treatment of prisoners of war; they were as cruel as possible. He didn't want to be treated that way.

Kiyoko Matsumoto frowned. Lu Chen's words were not without reason. What if Ye Qingchang's act was just to gain her trust?

Only in this way can we explain why the two people suddenly and inexplicably left this place.
