Big Tiger is Dead

Huang Jinrong took the medal from Lu Chen's hand. The medal was indeed of the Japanese style. He stared at Lu Chen for a while, pondering to himself.

As a neutral party, he neither wanted to offend nor curry favor with the Japanese; he was simply a businessman who amassed wealth through sheer greed.

"I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time..."

Anyone could see the threat in Huang Jinrong's words. Lu Chen took back the medal, indicated that he understood, and then pushed open the door and went out to retrieve his two pistols.

"The matter is resolved, let's go."

Liu Jie and Lu Xiulian were waiting outside the door. When they saw Lu Chen come out, they hurriedly went to greet him.

Upon hearing Lu Chen say that the matter was resolved, Liu Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief, filled with gratitude.

"Brother Chen, you saved me again."

Lu Chen did not answer. After saying goodbye to Liu Jie, he walked out of the casino and returned home with his sister Lu Xiulian.

The two remained silent the entire way home. When they arrived, Lu Chen looked at Lu Xiulian, who was preparing a late-night snack, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"Sis, don't go work in a place like that. I'll find you a job in a few days."

"it is good."

Lu Chen did not intend to let Lu Xiulian continue working for Huang Jinrong, mainly because he felt that Huang Jinrong was a bit lecherous.

With so many women serving Huang Jinrong in the room, he felt like an emperor, so Lu Chen thought it best not to let Lu Xiulian go to work.

After eating something, Lu Chen lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Lu Chen got up and went to Camille's house. He couldn't understand why he needed to go to her house to be taught French.

However, since she has made this arrangement, I will accept it.

Before leaving, Lu Chen tucked a gun into his waistband. Having learned his lesson from not carrying a gun several times, he decided that he would always carry one with him wherever he went to ensure his safety.

Camille's family lived in a bustling area of ​​the French Concession, where property prices were quite high, and the residents were mostly people of high status and influence.

dong dong dong...

Lu Chen arrived at the location Camille had told him and knocked on the door. A French woman opened the door and was clearly taken aback when she saw a man standing outside.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

Lu Chen guessed that the somewhat elderly French woman in front of him must be Camille's mother.

"I've come to see Camille; she's my French teacher."

After explaining the purpose of his visit, Camille's mother quickly led him into the house and into the living room, telling Lu Chen not to be shy and to make himself at home.

There was also a Chinese man on the living room sofa, wearing glasses and holding a newspaper. He frowned and spoke when he saw Lu Chen.

"who is he?"

The man was speaking French, which Lu Chen couldn't understand.

"A young man, here to see Camille."

The woman responded in French as well, her tone revealing undisguised joy.

Camille is now 28, almost 30, and still doesn't have a boyfriend. It's impossible for her parents not to be anxious, but their daughter has never been in a relationship and hasn't shown any interest in that area, so they can only let things take their course.

But now a man has come to the house and specifically asked to see Camille, which makes Camille's mother think that Camille has finally come to her senses and that the iron tree has blossomed.

Camille's mother went upstairs to call Camille downstairs, leaving only Lu Chen and Camille's father in the living room.

"Hello, my name is Ka Jingzhou, and I am Camille's father."

Ka Jingzhou wasn't reading the newspaper at this moment; instead, he was looking Lu Chen up and down.

Lu Chen was still dressed the same way, with a hat and a coat. Seeing him like this, Ka Jingzhou shook his head without saying a word.

He didn't seem to be an intellectual, and his family wasn't wealthy either. Ka Jingzhou was very dissatisfied with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's attention wasn't on Ka Jingzhou at the moment; he found the names of the father and daughter too strange.

He originally thought Camille was his surname, but it turned out that Camille was his surname.

"Lu Chen, you're here so early?"

Camille changed her clothes and came downstairs to greet Lu Chen. Lu Chen said it was her first day of class and she wanted to come early.

Camille nodded, then led him to the study on the second floor.

"This is where my father usually studied, and he also learned French here."

"From now on, you'll come every day for two hours each day."

Lu Chen nodded. The timing was perfect. Now he could enter the Special Police and come here in the morning to learn French. After finishing his studies, he could go to the Military Police or the Special Police.

After saying this, Camille immediately began teaching, which consisted of the most basic things. Lu Chen found it simple and could remember it completely after reading it twice.

Two hours passed in a flash. Camille wanted Lu Chen to stay for breakfast, but Lu Chen declined, saying he had to go to work.

Stepping out of Camille's house, Lu Chen headed directly towards the Chinese border.

"Squeak!"

The mouse in his pocket suddenly made a squeaking sound, and Lu Chen found a secluded corner to take it out.

"Any news?"

After being away for so long, the second-in-command of the rats has finally sent back some news!

"Squeak squeak squeak".

The rat chirped several times in a row. After spending so much time together, Lu Chen could now fully understand what the rat meant.

"Understood. Tell Rat Two and the others to continue following them and notify me immediately of any movement."

Lu Chen stuffed the mouse back into his pocket and continued walking toward Hua Jie without stopping.

Just now, a message came back from Rat Two that means a lot of Japanese troops have arrived in Shanghai in military vehicles outside the Chinese-controlled area.

As Lu Chen had predicted, the Japanese army did indeed call for reinforcements after their last defeat.

"I need to go see Wang Yan when I have time."

Thinking of Lu Chen, he went to the military police station. He didn't expect that Huang Dayong was still there today.

Da Hu was in such a state yesterday, and Huang Dayong just abandoned him at the hospital?

"Lu Chen, I was just about to look for you. You're here at the right time. I have a business meeting with Colonel Kuroda later this afternoon, and you'll be my translator."

Huang Dayong was no longer afraid of Zhang Rongshan the night before; his tone was full of excitement at the prospect of making money.

"Brother Huang, how's Da Hu?"

Lu Chen asked Da Hu.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Huang Dayong sighed and said that he was too late yesterday. Da Hu didn't make it and passed away.

Lu Chen stood there stunned for a moment before he realized that Huang Dayong had already disappeared from his sight.

He and Da Hu weren't particularly close; they were just acquaintances. But it's truly heartbreaking that someone who was perfectly fine yesterday is gone today.

"Brother Chen, it's normal for people to die at this time. Every day there are countless people dying in the war."

Liu Jie had been following Lu Chen ever since he entered the military police station. Seeing that Lu Chen was a little dazed, Liu Jie thought he was saddened by Da Hu's death and offered words of comfort.

Lu Chen nodded, indicating that it made sense. Even if Da Hu died, he wouldn't react in any way, since they had no connection whatsoever.

He just felt that human life was too cheap in this era; Da Hu had only pushed the door open last night, and he was dead today.

Then she thought of what her younger sister Lu Xiulian had gone through last night. At this time, without status, one can only be slaughtered by others.
