Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 732 Double-Sided Trap
The "contract" written in black and white came into effect. After the sharp arrow in the chief of staff's hand was shot out, Zhang Anping, who had been quietly watching Chongqing, showed a knowing smile.

Historically, neither the Eighth Route Army nor the New Fourth Army got a share of the American military aid.

The only "sauce" was that during 44 and 45, the U.S. military airdropped a small amount of non-weapon supplies (such as medicines and communication equipment) into the bases in North China and East China in exchange for intelligence about the Japanese army.

However, in this time and space, due to Zhang Anping's repeated actions, three brigades of the New Fourth Army were equipped with American light weapons, and one division of the Eighth Route Army was about to be equipped with American light weapons. Zhang Anping was very sure that with the stubbornness of the Kuomintang diehards, at most this one division of the Eighth Route Army would be able to gain some benefits, and there would definitely be no follow-up.

But no matter what, with the examples of the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, if the diehards still want to resist the war passively in the future, the Americans will have something to say - at that time, saying "Don't blame me for being ruthless and ungrateful" will definitely force the National Government to take a more proactive attitude towards the war of resistance.

This deliberately created "misunderstanding" allowed Zhang Anping to achieve his original goal, and the next step was naturally to wrap it up.

……

During this period, Zeng Moyi has been doing things according to Zhang Anping's instructions.

Bai Qiming, who was caught by the Detective Department, was released by Zeng Moyi, and after Zeng Moyi's efforts, Bai Qiming's job in the Grain Commission was retained.

After making inquiries from many sources, Bai Qiming learned that it was Zeng Moyi who used her connections to save him, so he brought his wife to visit Zeng Moyi to express his gratitude.

After that, the two of them had more frequent contacts.

As mentioned earlier, although the Grain Committee group established by Lu Xiangyang was a formal party organization, Lu Xiangyang, as an undercover agent, deliberately relaxed the organizational assessment procedures, and the procedures for developing members also had certain flaws.

The purpose of doing this is, of course, to make it easier for these developing members to have problems.

This is the case with Bai Qiming.

After being rescued by Zeng Moyi, he reported the situation to Lu Xiangyang. According to normal organizational procedures, Bai Qiming had to evacuate in this situation, but Lu Xiangyang did not let Bai Qiming evacuate on the grounds that Bai Qiming had not betrayed organizational secrets and was not suspected by the spies.

Bai Qiming was also ignorant and thought that he would be safe after being released. After interacting with Zeng Moyi for a period of time, he suggested to Lu Xiangyang that he develop Zeng Moyi into his comrade.

Lu Xiangyang didn't know what the purpose of Mao Renfeng's chess game was, but since he had received the task of "loosening the defense line", he naturally would not really follow the procedures and rules of the party organization, and naturally agreed to Bai Qiming's application.

Therefore, Bai Qiming started to investigate and develop Zeng Moyi.

According to normal procedures, even if Zeng Moyi wanted to "join the organization", he would have to go through several tests. Even if the most time-saving method was adopted, it would still take at least eight months!
However, the Food Committee team developed Zeng Moyi into "one of their own" in less than two months.

Lu Xiangyang personally presided over Zeng Moyi's "Party membership ceremony". Before the ceremony, he asked Zeng Moyi about her family relationships - the reversal of procedures was truly ridiculous.

Zeng Moyi "honestly" explained his situation, which was exactly the same as the files in the Military Control Commission.

When Lu Xiangyang heard that Zeng Moyi was once a member of the Military Control Commission, he was extremely furious.

But after Zeng Moyi told him about her family situation, his anger immediately turned into... fear.

Fuck, Officer Zhang’s wife!
The shrewd daughter-in-law of Deputy Director Zhang!

The director’s niece-in-law!

Any of these three identities could crush him.

He pretended to be calm and went through the party joining ceremony according to normal procedures. After sending away this great god, the terrified Lu Xiangyang couldn't wait to find Mao Renfeng to report.

As soon as the two met, Lu Xiangyang timidly reported the matter of instigating Zeng Moyi to rebel.

Mao Renfeng was stunned.

His purpose was indeed to persuade Zeng Moyi to defect, but he never thought it would be so smooth - in his opinion, this situation would have to last for at least a year, and he would try to persuade her to defect through subtle means.

But Zeng Moyi was turned against the party less than three months after joining? !

It went too smoothly, so smoothly that Mao Renfeng suspected that this was a setup.

But when he thought about how Zeng Moyi used the Detective Department to rescue Bai Qiming and secretly used connections to keep Bai Qiming's job, and then looked at the review materials in Lu Xiangyang's hand that should have been destroyed, Mao Renfeng tended to believe that Zeng Moyi had really been turned against the government.

"Eighty-twenty?"

He made a judgment in his heart.

There is a 20% chance that it is a setup, and an 80% chance that they have really been instigated to rebel.

It sounds slow, but these thoughts actually flashed through Mao Renfeng's mind and he clarified them. Facing the panicked Lu Xiangyang, he said calmly:

"It's inevitable that a man will have an unvirtuous wife and unfilial children. I will discuss this matter with Shihao - don't worry, Shihao won't make things difficult for you. Instead, he will be grateful to you. Do you understand?"

Lu Xiangyang looked at Mao Renfeng with a look that said, "I still don't understand."

The reason why he did this was because he was afraid of being silenced.

Mao Renfeng seemed to have just noticed Lu Xiangyang's worry at this time, and said:

"You are alone outside and don't know Shihao's reputation - you can check whether Zhang Shihao has ever silenced his own people. You are just thinking too much! How about this, I will guarantee you!"

"What do you think?"

Lu Xiangyang smiled awkwardly: "Director, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

"Alright, just forget about it. She will most likely die of illness in the future. As long as you keep your mouth shut, I'll make sure you're fine!"

"By the way, remember to destroy this material. Don't leave any traces."

Mao Renfeng pointed at Zeng Moyi's review materials - the underground party basically does not leave any paper documents, and things like application forms to join the party do not exist at all.

Even these review materials must be destroyed afterwards.

At this time, Mao Renfeng asked Lu Xiangyang to destroy the review materials, giving Lu Xiangyang the illusion that Mao Renfeng would not use this against Zhang Shihao.

This made him think that he would not be drawn into the fight, and also confirmed Mao Renfeng's affectionate address to him as "Shihao".

Lu Xiangyang felt relieved.

He was not stupid. If he were, he would not have become an insider controlled by Mao Renfeng himself. However, the information gap made him completely unaware of the struggle between Zhang and Mao.

After all, he was an undercover spy inside the underground party. How could he know the secret information circulating in the bureau headquarters?

Seeing that Mao Renfeng kept calling Zhang Shihao "Shihao", and thinking that Zhang Shihao and Mao Renfeng were from the same hometown and were both from the Jiangshan faction of the Military Control Commission, they should have a very close relationship, so he was naturally fooled by Mao Renfeng.

But what happened afterwards was totally out of Mao Renfeng's control!

night.

After returning home, Lu Xiangyang was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill on his neck.

When he opened his eyes, he saw someone holding a sharp knife and staring at him coldly.

Burglary?

Or... am I exposed?
Lu Xiangyang's heart sank. Just as he was organizing his words, the lights in the house were turned on and several figures came into Lu Xiangyang's sight one after another.

Four strong men and a woman with a cold face.

Zeng Moyi? !

Lu Xiangyang's mind was in a mess, and he subconsciously said: "Comrade Mo Yi, you, you are..."

Zeng Moyi smiled, but it was completely different from her usual gentle and warm smile. Not only was it cold, but it also had a condescending feeling.

She looked at the uneasy Lu Xiangyang and said in a cold voice: "Should I call you Lu Xiangyang or should I call you... Xiangrong?"

Xiang Rong is Lu Xiangyang’s real name. After he was ordered to infiltrate the underground party, no one called him by this name anymore.

"You, you..." Lu Xiangyang, or should I say Xiangrong, first murmured instinctively, then forced himself to calm down:

"Are you one of us?"

We are one of us, this is to show our identity.

Zeng Moyi couldn't help but smile after hearing this, but it was completely different from the warm smile she had when she joined the organization in the evening:
"Xiang Rong, this 'our own people' you are talking about, is it the Military Control Commission or the Communist Party? Hmm?"

After a brief silence, Xiang Rong squeezed out two words:

"Military Control."

"Haha," Zeng Moyi couldn't help but laugh:

"I thought you wouldn't admit it—"

As she spoke, she threw out a stack of photos and hit Xiang Rong.

Xiang Rong carefully pulled them together and saw several photos that were clearly candid photos of his secret meeting with Mao Renfeng at night. He immediately realized that something was wrong.

He took a deep breath and said, "Am I...set up?"

Zeng Moyi's behavior proves that the other party is not a Communist, but she was "easily persuaded" to join the Communist Party, and he was the executor - this must prove that there is a big problem.

Zeng Moyi found him but didn't take direct action, so she must have other purposes.

Being set up was the inevitable and only explanation. "He's not stupid, he seems to be a smart man." Zeng Moyi nodded with satisfaction, then snapped his fingers, and an agent brought out the equipment behind him and placed it in front of the two.

recorder!
Zeng Moyi said, "This is a high-end tape recorder supported by the Americans - Xiang Rong. The conversation between you and me will be recorded in it. Is that ok?"

Xiang Rong took another deep breath and said:

"My name is Xiang Rong. In 1940, under the order of Director Mao, I secretly infiltrated the Chongqing underground party under the pseudonym Lu Xiangyang. My code name was... 'Deep Well.'"

Zeng Moyi looked at Xiang Rong with appreciation and said:
"Are you sure you are the insider controlled by Mao Renfeng?"

"Yes, I am a military agent personally developed by Director Mao. I was trained in the advanced class of the Lanzhou special training class."

"Very good, now that you have this experience, your identity will be easy to check--" Zeng Moyi nodded, and then said:
"Xiang Rong, Xiang Rong, do you really think that I, who graduated from the Zhejiang Police Department, know nothing about the Communist Party? This grain committee party group you established is a joke to me!"

"Such a communist group full of loopholes actually deliberately approached me!"

"Tell me, what is the mission Mao Renfeng gave you? Why did you deliberately develop me into a Communist? Start with the establishment of the Party Group of the Grain Committee!"

Xiang Rong, who had already confirmed that he had been cheated by Mao Renfeng, recounted in detail how Mao Renfeng had assigned him the task and what he had done after being assigned the task.

It took him more than an hour to explain all this information.

Perhaps his hatred for Mao Renfeng was too strong, he even specifically recounted what happened after meeting Mao Renfeng tonight.

After he finished speaking, Zeng Moyi, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but sneer:
"Haha, Mao Renfeng actually considers my husband so much, it's really surprising - Xiang Rong, do you know that Mao Renfeng wants to eat my husband alive?"

After talking for a long time, Lu Xiangyang remained silent.

Seeing that Lu Xiangyang remained silent, Zeng Moyi said:
"I don't know what Mao Renfeng is going to do, but I am sure of one thing. In Mao Renfeng's eyes, you are a dead person. What do you think?"

Lu Xiangyang smiled bitterly. Although he did not answer, he agreed with Zeng Moyi's words.

Ever since he was sure that this was a setup, Lu Xiangyang knew that he was a dead man in Mao Renfeng's eyes.

If Mao Renfeng wants to plot against Zhang Shihao, he must be a real Communist!

"Xiang went to great lengths to serve the Party and the country, but he never expected to end up like this. How ridiculous, how ridiculous!"

Xiang Rong sighed in despair.

Zeng Moyi ignored him and said:

"Let's work together!"

Xiang Rong paused before asking, "How do we cooperate?"

Zeng Moyi appeared in front of him. If it wasn’t for cooperation, she wouldn’t have said so much!

There will be no recording.

Zeng Moyi said coldly:

"If I had accidentally ruined Mao Renfeng's plans, then he wouldn't have deliberately targeted me!"

"But if he deliberately set up a plan to kill me, then even if he is eloquent, he can't hide his malicious intentions!"

"I will save your life then and will not let you be killed as a communist - but the prerequisite is that you forget what happened tonight!"

"Next, you are still 'Deep Well', and I am a traitor to the Party and the country who was instigated by you."

"how?"

Lu Xiangyang had no choice but to answer:
"it is good!"

……

chongqing.

Food Committee.

An ordinary civilian telegram was delivered to Zeng Moyi.

The telegram was very simple, just six words:
Kunan, don’t worry, take care.

Looking at the short telegram in her hand, Zeng Moyi smiled happily.

After seeing this, a colleague asked curiously, "Chief Zeng, whose telegram is this? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Zeng Moyi complained happily: "My husband's - he is really stingy, he only sent six words."

A colleague came over curiously, glanced at the telegram and asked, "Is your husband in Kunming?"

"Yes, I went to Kunming on a business trip."

"Well, it's not easy when you are away from home." A colleague sighed.

Zeng Moyi agreed with the same feeling, but in her heart she said quietly:
See? No problem!

This colleague next to him had long been secretly developed by Mao Renfeng into a spy, but Mao Renfeng used someone else to develop the other person in the name of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

She carefully put the telegram away and then went back to work - but at this moment, her mind was not on work at all.

This seemingly normal telegram was actually Zhang Anping's secret code:
action!

The so-called action is to close the net.

Zeng Moyi has joined the "underground party" for more than a month, and Mao Renfeng has been staring at Zeng Moyi like a poisonous snake in the dark. During this period, he also carried out several tentative actions. Zeng Moyi behaved like an "underground party member".

And now is the time to close the net.

And this opportunity is when the criminal is caught red-handed.

……

Lu Xiangyang met Mao Renfeng again.

As soon as they met, Lu Xiangyang directly stated his purpose:
"Director, someone from the Communist Party wants to see Zeng Moyi."

Mao Renfeng did not let Lu Xiangyang hide the fact that Zeng Moyi had been turned against the party from the underground party.

The reason is very simple. He needs real evidence to prove that Zeng Moyi is really in collusion with the Communists. What's the point if the news is just blocked in Lu Xiangyang's small pirated circle?
Now someone from the underground party wants to see Zeng Moyi, which is not beyond Mao Renfeng's expectations.

After all, she was Zhang Shihao's wife, so it was only natural for the underground party to send people to contact her after more than a month of secret investigation.

Originally, Mao Renfeng didn't want to close the net now. He wanted to let Zhang Anping do something that would harm the interests of the Military Control Commission for Zeng Moyi before closing the net.

But the timing is different now.

Mao Renfeng believed that Zhang Anping had made a big mistake - he deliberately leaked the aid materials to the Communist Party at Zhuantang Wharf, allowing the Japanese army to blow it up, which led to the Chief of Staff insisting on sending military aid to the Eighth Route Army.

Secondly, Zhang Anping's reputation is now in tatters. Under his secret arrangements, the press in Chongqing and Chengdu have already called him a "traitor", and the direction of public opinion has changed drastically.

He felt that if it was revealed at this time that Zhang Anping's wife was a Communist, it would be enough to push Zhang Anping into a mud pit from which he would be unable to extricate himself.

The Communist Party sent people to contact Zeng Moyi. If this opportunity is missed, even God will not tolerate it!

He suppressed his excitement and said calmly:
"It seems that she is determined to join the Communist Party! I was hoping that she would come to her senses and turn back, but in the end, I was just daydreaming."

Mao Renfeng sighed:
"Xiang Rong, you've been lurking for more than four years. I wanted to let you withdraw in glory, but this time... eh..."

After a long sigh, Mao Renfeng paused for a while before continuing:
"Zeng Moyi can't stay, otherwise it will cause endless harm to Shihao. I will arrange for someone to kill her directly. You are too deeply involved. I am afraid that Shihao will feel uncomfortable if I ask you to reveal your identity and withdraw. Hey, brother, I am sorry for you!"

Lu Xiangyang had a miserable look on his face: "Chief Zhang, Chief Zhang, he..."

Mao Renfeng patted Lu Xiangyang on the shoulder and said with a sigh:
"I'll give you a way to contact him. Once you catch the communists, you will go to him immediately. He will then arrange for you to evacuate."

"You should stay in Xi'an from now on. I will find a way to get you back in a few years."

"I'll prepare ten gold bars for you later. Remember to take them with you when you evacuate. This matter... must not be mentioned again. Do you understand?"

Lu Xiangyang had a bitter look on his face and said angrily, "Director, the department is unwilling to accept this!"

Mao Renfeng could only sigh.

After Lu Xiangyang vented a few more words, he said deeply:

"Xiang Rong will always remember the director's love and care!"

Mao Renfeng acted as if I was incompetent: "I am sorry for you!"

Lu Xiangyang was even more grateful and shed tears, looking like he was willing to die for Mao Renfeng - but in his heart he sneered and thought:
Mao Renfeng, oh Mao Renfeng, you are really so vicious!
