The rat has betrayed us; kill it on the spot.

"Madam, I just remembered I have something to attend to, so I'll be going now."

After the rat disappeared from the house, Lu Chen stood up and left, making an excuse that he had something to do.

Before the old woman could answer, Lu Chen lifted his foot, stepped out the door, and left.

After leaving, the gaze behind him hadn't disappeared. He pretended nothing had happened and walked out of Sanwan Yilong.

Arriving in the Chinese-controlled area, it was still daytime. Lu Chen glanced at the list in his hand, not intending to go to the next person, but instead turned and headed directly towards the Japanese concession.

When Lu Chen arrived at the intelligence section, he learned that Matsumoto Kiyoko had specially arranged an office for him and Fu Yangshan because of this incident.

It's easy to imagine how smug Fu Yangshan must be right now.

Without giving it much thought, Lu Chen walked calmly towards the office that Matsumoto Kiyoko had arranged for him and Fu Yangshan.

The office was located at the very back of the intelligence section, next to Matsumoto Kiyoko's office. It had transparent glass, so people outside could see right through it.

Before even going inside, Lu Chen could see Fu Yangshan pretending to look at documents through the glass outside.

Hearing the door open, Fu Yangshan turned around and saw Lu Chen return. He glanced at him sideways with a look of disdain.

But they couldn't help being curious about what he had found out from the action team.

Lu Chen ignored him. The office wasn't big, with two tables and two chairs.

He walked to another empty chair, sat down, took out a black notebook, pretended to be organizing information, and even took out a pen to write and draw.

Soon he felt an itch in his waist, but Lu Chen still didn't move. He knew that Rat One had returned.

The mouse slipped silently into the sleeve, its body hidden at the cuff.

Holding a neatly folded piece of paper in its paws, it placed it in Lu Chen's palm.

Lu Chen unfolded the letter and placed it under the black notebook, then looked up at Fu Yangshan.

"What are you doing?"

Fu Yangshan thought Lu Chen wanted to peek at the information he had investigated, so he leaned his whole body on the table.

"fine."

Lu Chen remained expressionless and spoke calmly, only turning his gaze away after the rat had scurried into his pocket.

"cut."

Fu Yangshan scoffed, straightened up, and, afraid that Lu Chen would see his desk, stood up with his back to Lu Chen.

The letter was thin and slightly damp, but it was clearly well-preserved.

Lu Chen lowered his head and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter while looking at the black notebook.

This sight was quite alarming; Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and even his breathing became heavier.

There was only one line of writing in pencil on the letter.

"The rat has defected to the enemy; find him and kill him on the spot!"

The story ended without a signature, a date, or even the slightest clue.

Lu Chen's expression was somewhat unnatural; this letter...

Why was it in Ye Qingchang's house? And judging from its damp appearance, it must have been hidden underground, and he hadn't had a chance to look at it yet.

Then, considering the old woman's out-of-place sitting posture and behavior.

Ye Qingchang's family is not an ordinary family at all, but another group of spies!

Even more deadly, the big devil within the organization actually gave them a message, saying that he had betrayed them and wanted to use this opportunity to kill them!

Only high-ranking Japanese officials and members of the organization know his code name. Apart from the Japanese, it can only be the big devil within the organization.

Lu Chen's heart was in turmoil. He crumpled the letter into a ball and stuffed it haphazardly into his pocket.

This situation is very disadvantageous to me.

The Japanese army was also looking for him, wanting to kill him, and now, even the agents within the organization were looking for him, wanting to kill him.

"No, I have to find Wang Yan!"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth. He had to find Wang Yan. Only Wang Yan knew that he had not betrayed them. This was the only way he could find out.

"Hey, where have you been? You look like a ghost."

Fu Yangshan approached at some point, looking down at Lu Chen with eyes full of jealousy and probing.

"Did you go slack off? Or did you actually find something?"

Lu Chen raised his head, his face expressionless, and glanced at him.

Upon seeing Fu Yangshan, Lu Chen realized that he was currently in the Special High Special Zone.

He didn't answer Fu Yangshan, but instead suddenly raised his voice a little, deliberately letting Fu Yangshan hear him, his tone carrying a hint of confusion.

"That's strange. I just went to Ye Qingchang's house, and I felt that his family was acting a bit strange."

Seeing that Lu Chen was ignoring him, Fu Yangshan was about to leave, but when he heard Lu Chen's words, he immediately perked up his ears.

"Something's not right? What's wrong?"

Lu Chen lowered his voice and looked at Fu Yangshan, deliberately hiding his true intentions as he spoke.

"I feel his family is too wary; their statements don't match up. And..."

Fu Yangshan's eyes lit up; he knew his chance to make a contribution was coming.

He turned and headed toward Kiyoko Matsumoto's office next door.

"I'll go report to the team leader!"

"etc."

Lu Chen quickly stopped him, speaking calmly, as he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"If you go now, without any evidence, she'll just accuse you of alerting her."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Fu Yangshan paused, and thinking of Matsumoto Kiyoko's temper, his face turned ugly.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Lu Chen looked up at him, a smile curving his lips, and said in a seductive tone.

"Do you really want to make a name for yourself?"

"think!"

Fu Yangshan nodded emphatically. He dreamed of making a name for himself and gaining a foothold in the TGOTRI. He wanted to be promoted!

Seeing his eagerness, Lu Chen knew that his plan was almost certain to succeed.

I haven't received any news from Wang Yan for a long time, and no one from the organization has contacted me.

Therefore, he had to prepare for both possibilities.

If we can find Wang Yan, it will be simple; we can just ask him to clear our name. If we can't find him, then we can only let that group of spies be captured by the Japanese army.

After all, Lu Chen had to prioritize his own safety. Maybe those spies were actually under that big devil's command and had also defected to the Japanese.

What he had to do was guide Fu Yangshan to Ye Qingchang's house.

Whether he can discover the problem and make a contribution depends on his abilities.

Lu Chen, from beginning to end, was just an ordinary team member who followed orders, conducted a normal investigation, and raised reasonable doubts.

"I found a guy in the action team. His name is Ye Qingchang. I went to his house and I felt that something was wrong with his house, especially his mother, who is the only one in the family. She was very strange."

Lu Chen stroked his chin, frowned, and spoke, not finishing his sentence, only saying that he had some doubts.

ta ta ta ......

Before Fu Yangshan could speak, a jumble of footsteps came from outside, not from one person, but from several people.

Looking through the glass door, I saw Kiyoko Matsumoto, who was walking this way with a man.

Lu Chen had just seen that man in the black notebook.

"Ye Qingchang? What's he doing working for Matsumoto Kiyoko?"
