Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 760: The Back-up Plan Takes Effect, Lv Zongfang's Crisis
Dai Chunfeng has always known that his nephew has a good memory.

If the nephew had met Qian Chongwen ten years ago, then he would definitely not forget this person - and if he remembered correctly, the nephew's "first" meeting with Qian Chongwen was during the retreat from Shanghai in 1941.

Because of his deep memory, Wang Hui was able to recognize Qian Chongwen ten years later when he saw a photo of Qian Chongwen taken five years ago. So, would his nephew not recognize Qian Chongwen five years ago when he was only five years apart?

Five years ago, when the nephew saw Qian Chongwen for the "first time", he would definitely recognize her - and Qian Chongwen was linked to Cen Weiyan. Five years ago, after seeing Qian Chongwen, would the nephew not realize that there was something wrong with Cen Weiyan?
However, he had never heard his nephew mention it!
So, what's the reason?

Thinking of this, Dai Chunfeng was completely overwhelmed by fear, and he didn't even dare to think about the reason.

Nephew, will you be involved with that place?
He stood in the office in a daze until Zhang Anping's anxious and urgent voice rang out, and until Zhang Anping rushed into the office.

Looking at his proud nephew, Dai Chunfeng asked:
"Ten years ago, it was you who took Qian Zhongwen away...?!"

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Anping, waiting to see how Zhang Anping would react.

Zhang Anping's reaction was very strange. He was stunned for a moment, and then a bitter look appeared on his face:

"How did you find out?"

Dai Chunfeng did not answer, but just looked at Zhang Anping quietly. He did not see any panic on Zhang Anping's face. After a long time, he asked:

"why did not you tell me?"

"Also, Cen Yuyan, is he... a communist?"

Zhang Anping touched his nose awkwardly: "Lao Cen... I don't have any evidence to prove it."

Dai Chunfeng stared at Zhang Anping: "What's the first question?"

Zhang Anping smiled bitterly: "Director, please give me some face."

Ok?
Zhang Anping's words made Dai Chunfeng stunned. He looked at Zhang Anping intently:
"What is your identity?"

Faced with this question, Zhang Anping was confused. Two seconds later, he was stunned. He looked at Dai Chunfeng in astonishment. Zhang Anping said in disbelief:
"Commander, you... you suspect I'm a communist?!"

Zhang Anping was stunned and looked at Dai Chunfeng in shock, as if wondering if he was dreaming.

"why did not you tell me!"

Dai Chunfeng insisted on this question and did not change his attitude because of Zhang Anping's surprise.

Zhang Anping was somewhat angry and said with a sense of resentment or indignation:

"What should I say? I said that I let the communist who caused my downfall escape?"

"I said that the director of the Propaganda Department and Propaganda Section that my father and I recommended is very likely a Communist?!"

Zhang Anping said angrily with a broken jar attitude: "I have lost face to this extent, can I still publicize it to the world?"

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping quietly, his expression slowly softening:
"Cen Yuyan, what do you think?"

Zhang Anping said without hesitation: "Sit and watch, that's my comrade."

Dai Chunfeng was so angry that he laughed: "Why, you are more reasonable than me?"

"Anyway, I've become a Communist in your mind."

"Bastard!"

Dai Chunfeng slammed the table and stared at Zhang Anping: "Do you know that if it were anyone else, I would put him in jail without saying a word!"

"You are the only one who can play tricks on me here!"

"Isn't it enough?"

Zhang Anping hummed: "So I'm a communist?"

"You're hiding it from me, right?"

Zhang Anping's momentum suddenly dropped by seven points. He said bitterly, "It's really... too embarrassing."

"Shame on you? If it were someone else, they would lose their life!"

Dai Chunfeng sneered: "Only you, Zhang Anping, can get away with it!"

Anger appeared on Zhang Anping's face, but then his attitude softened:
"Commander, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping said: "I have already arranged for people to follow Lao Ci... Cen Weiyan. The various investigation reports are no less than 300,000 words."

"The results of it?"

"There were no signs - I think it was due to the special period before, so the other party remained silent."

"But the flaws will always show up."

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping and said, "Leave this matter to Tianfeng."

Zhang Anping was anxious: "Director, I have been watching you for almost five years!"

"He is hiding so deeply, there must be a lot of people involved. We can't alert him!"

"Are you the only one who can catch the Communists?!" Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping and asked back, then said indifferently: "Leave this matter to Tianfeng. The work on your hands is more important."

Zhang Anping took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

"I mean... all the investigation materials."

"Ah."

Zhang Anping looked as if he was going to lie down, but this made Dai Chunfeng relax the tense nerves in his heart - if Zhang Anping really had at least 300,000 words of investigation materials in his hands, it would prove that he was really investigating and his inference was wrong.

"Now Qian Zhongwen is stuck on Minsheng Road. What do you think?"

Zhang Anping immediately asked back: "Is the news okay?"

Zhang Anping's question was full of urgency, so Dai Chunfeng smiled and said:
"Wang Hui saw her in person—in the teahouse outside No. 239."

"Wang Hui?" Zhang Anping was stunned, and then couldn't help muttering: "This bastard, his memory is so good, why was he so lame in Shanghai before?"

Dai Chunfeng's words just now were actually a test.

Zhang Anping did not hide anything in his response, and used a sarcastic way to express that he realized that it was Wang Hui who "betrayed" him.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. This fish has entered the net. If it escapes, it would be really unfair. Go find Lu Zongfang and take charge of the command yourself!"

"Yes!" Zhang Anping agreed without hesitation, and then said: "Make arrangements for Cen Weiyan and don't let him get involved."

"I know how to do it."

Zhang Anping then proposed to leave, and Dai Chunfeng waved his hand unhappily, signaling Zhang Anping to get out.

After Zhang Anping left, Dai Chunfeng's expression became gloomy.

His nephew's performance did temporarily dispel his doubts, but his nephew's name was Zhang Anping!
In occupied Shanghai, he turned the Military Control Commission into the underground king and designated Shanghai as his own piece of land!

Moreover, he infiltrated the Shanghai puppet government as a high-ranking official of the Military Control Commission, and even stayed in the position of Deputy Director No. 76 for such a long time - none of his opponents were easy to deal with, but they were all manipulated by Zhang Anping.

How could Dai Chunfeng completely dispel his doubts because of Zhang Anping's performance?
With his eyes closed, Dai Chunfeng uttered a few words slowly:

"As long as Tianfeng takes over and there are no omissions in the investigation materials, then I am just being overly concerned."

The investigation materials cannot be false. The period of time spanned nearly five years. Even if Zhang Anping was extremely talented, it would be impossible for him to produce so much investigation materials in a hurry.

Therefore, as long as Wang Tianfeng takes over and makes sure that there are no problems with the investigation materials, it can basically be proved that he was overly suspicious.

But before that, Dai Chunfeng didn't dare to relax at all.

As the king of spies praised by Americans, it would be a huge joke if the nephew he relied on and regarded as his successor was a Communist - Dai Chunfeng would fall into hell from now on!
"Pu Chen!"

As he shouted, the secretary came in quickly.

"Call Tianfeng and ask him to come to me immediately."

"Yes."

"Wait - by the way, I remember that the Ministry of Military Affairs has a batch of printing equipment. Please notify Cen Yuyan and ask him to go and receive it in person. Contact the Ministry of Military Affairs and ask him to delay Cen Yuyan."

This order was strange, but the secretary answered without hesitation:
"Yes."

"Also, go find Lu Zongfang in person and tell him to keep an eye on... Zhang Anping!"

The secretary, who always never hesitated in following Dai Chunfeng's orders, actually hesitated for a few seconds.

"Ok?"

"Yes!"

Dai Chunfeng then signaled the secretary to leave. He did not give any detailed instructions, but he knew that the secretary was reliable and would definitely not be stupid enough to tell Lu Zongfang about it in front of Zhang Anping. Lu Zongfang was an experienced person and would never cause Zhang Anping's disgust and speculation.

After the secretary left, Dai Chunfeng closed his eyes and dozed off, replaying the conversation with Zhang Anping over and over in his mind, analyzing every sentence, every word and even every expression of Zhang Anping over and over again.

The impact was really too great!

After an unknown amount of time, he heard footsteps. Dai Chunfeng opened his eyes and saw Wang Tianfeng quietly enter the office and stand about seven or eight meters away from him, waiting for orders. Dai Chunfeng asked directly, "Qian Zhongwen, how much do you know about this person?"

Wang Tianfeng gave the answer: "Very mysterious, and also very...powerful."

It was powerful because the opponent had defeated Zhang Anping several times;

It is mysterious because the Military Control Commission has been investigating it for a long time, but there is not much useful intelligence.

Dai Chunfeng asked casually: "I remember you had contact with her?"

"Yes. In 1941, it was Commander Zhang who was responsible for implementing the Shanghai Uprising. Qian and Li participated as representatives of the Communist Party of China."

Dai Chunfeng laughed and said, "At that time, Anping probably didn't expect that this woman would make him suffer several serious losses!"

"However, fate has its own way. Now she is stuck on Minsheng Road. Anping can catch this opponent with his own hands. Tianfeng, tell us about her. Tell us about the first time you met her. I am really curious about this opponent!"

Dai Chunfeng looked very curious, but Wang Tianfeng, who knew Dai Chunfeng well, knew that Dai Chunfeng must have other intentions.
He concentrated on his thoughts, and the memories of five years ago came flooding back, slowly telling his story.

He told the story in great detail, including everything that happened when they first met, who was present, and what was said. He did not dare to omit anything.

(Volume 78, Chapter )
In fact, the meeting scene was very simple, but Wang Tianfeng still used a long paragraph to describe the details of the meeting scene.

When he finished speaking, Dai Chunfeng asked curiously:
"You mean..." Anping paused?"

"Yes." Wang Tianfeng seemed to be in the situation at that time and replicated Zhang Anping's actions:
After Sister Qian extended her hand, he paused before stepping forward and shaking hands.

Dai Chunfeng closed his eyes and recreated the scene in his mind. He "stared" at his nephew in the imaginary scene, trying to "read" something from his nephew's pauses in the expression.

After a moment, Dai Chunfeng opened his eyes and stared at Wang Tianfeng with a rather overwhelming look:
"Why do you remember it so clearly?"

"Also, why do you think Anping paused?"

Wang Tianfeng replied:

"Chief Zhang never lost his composure when facing Mr. Li, or when facing any Communist Party member."

"Only when facing Qian Zhongwen did he pause."

Dai Chunfeng asked word by word: "Why?"

"I don't know, but I trust Commander Zhang."

Wang Tianfeng's answer was the same as usual, but it also made Dai Chunfeng laugh.

Yes, even Wang Tianfeng trusts Anping so much, why am I suspicious of Anping?
In his heart, he laughed at himself for being too suspicious. Anping's resume was clear. After returning from the United States several years ago, he worked in the Military Control Commission. Then he became a big spy and executioner representative in the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party. How could he be involved with the Communist Party?

Unless that kid joined the Communist Party when he was thirteen or fourteen - but is it possible?
Dai Chunfeng, who had completely let go of his guard, stopped beating around the bush and told Wang Tianfeng:
"Anping met Qian Chongwen ten years ago."

"To be precise, Qian Zhongwen was arrested at the time, but was bailed out by Anping!"

Wang Tianfeng was not too surprised, but just showed a look of realization. Seeing Wang Tianfeng's performance, Dai Chunfeng secretly despised himself again.

Of course, he couldn't tell Wang Tianfeng about this embarrassing thing, so he continued to talk about the topic:
"At that time, Qian Zhongwen's identity was... Cen Yuyan's cousin."

Wang Tianfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, but returned to normal in just a second.

There were CCP undercover agents among the top leaders of the Military Control Commission - Dai Chunfeng was extremely sure of this. As Dai Chunfeng's confidant, Wang Tianfeng naturally knew about it and had also investigated it.

Unfortunately, I still have no clue.

Dai Chunfeng said that Qian Chongwen was once Cen Weiyan's "cousin", which proved that there was something wrong with Cen Weiyan, and he immediately thought of an undercover agent.

But he realized that something was wrong!

Because Cen Yuyan has been in Shanghai, in charge of publicity work, many things do not match up.

And his level is not high enough!

Dai Chunfeng naturally understood Wang Tianfeng's reaction, and he certainly felt regretful in his heart - he had previously matched this undercover agent with Zhang Anping, but after he dispelled his suspicion of Zhang Anping, this undercover agent remained a mystery!
He suppressed his emotions and said:

"Anping has been secretly investigating him for almost five years, but there is no substantial evidence, nor has he discovered any network of connections behind him. From now on, you will be responsible for this matter!"

"Yes."

"You will take over after this matter is over. You should keep an eye on the situation in the bureau. Qian Zhongwen came to Chongqing this time, most likely to meet with this undercover agent. Now Qian Zhongwen is trapped on Minsheng Road. This person will be very anxious. You should keep a close eye on him. Whoever moves unusually, no matter who he is, arrest him!"

"Yes!"

……

When Zhang Anping drove out of No. 239, there was still an angry look on his face. Only after he drove out of No. 239 did the anger disappear from his face, and was replaced by a serious expression.

He didn't dare to stop the car and could only control the speed to move forward at a faster pace, but his whole body was leaning on the backrest, and a creepy chill came from behind - his back was already soaked with sweat!

Just now I was squatting next to the little boy and the fat man and eating!
[Fortunately... Fortunately, I did some extra work early on...]

Zhang Anping was gasping for breath. Fortunately, when he was planning the Shanghai Uprising in 1941, he suddenly thought of what happened "five years ago" when he met Sister Qian for the "first time".

It was for this reason that he planned the investigation into Lao Cen.

I didn’t expect that after five years, the backup plan I had would finally be used.

But the price was also obvious—Lao Cen was exposed.

"After we get through this period, let Lao Cen find a way to evacuate..."

"Wang Tianfeng..."

Zhang Anping kept repeating the name with a puzzled look on his face.

After he met Lu Zongfang, these heavy things had been completely suppressed in Zhang Anping's heart, and he became Zhang Shihao again.

After taking over the command from Lu Zongfang, Zhang Anping listened to Lu Zongfang's introduction of the search on the map and felt Lu Zongfang's confidence. A strong sense of uneasiness arose in Zhang Anping's heart.

"Well, the arrangement is good. Let's continue to implement this plan. Lao Lu, do you think we can catch her?"

Zhang Anping asked calmly.

Lu Zongfang hesitated for a moment:

"I'm just worried that there's something wrong with the Central Bureau of Investigation's intelligence."

"The intelligence is fine." Zhang Anping looked into the distance with a relaxed look on his face: "Wang Hui has already reported to the director, saying that he had seen her in the teahouse next to No. 239 before."

After Lu Zongfang paused, a smile appeared on his face: "Then she will... be unable to escape even if she has wings."

Zhang Anping said calmly: "Yes, it's impossible to escape even if you have wings."

"Commander Zhang, you stay here and command. I'll look around to make sure there are no mistakes."

"Ah."

After Zhang Anping nodded, Lu Zongfang left in a hurry.

Looking at Lu Zongfang's back, there was no sign of heaviness at all, just as Dai Chunfeng could not find any flaws in Zhang Anping's expression.

But a flaw is always a flaw!
Zhang Anping closed his eyes, feeling extremely heavy in his heart.

Lu Zongfang, it's dangerous!
Out of trust in Lu Zongfang, Zhang Anping was sure that Lu Zongfang had sent Sister Qian away. He even guessed the method by which Old Lu had sent Sister Qian away.

But the problem is...

Wang Hui has confirmed one thing:

Sister Qian is indeed surrounded!

But in the end it was doomed to fail.

If there was no evidence from Wang Hui, the blame could have been put on the Central Bureau of Investigation - they could have insisted that the bureau's intelligence was wrong and that it was unreliable.

Dai Chunfeng's suspicious gaze did not fall on Lao Lu.

But Wang Hui proved that Sister Qian was in the encirclement.

But in the end, no one was caught - so, where did the problem lie?
When all the details were infinitely magnified, Lao Lu could not escape the scrutiny of himself and Dai Chunfeng.

This is no longer a question of doubt or not, but an obvious question!
Zhang Anping opened his eyes. There was no trace of heaviness in them, but his gaze inadvertently looked towards No. 239.

Dai Chunfeng is right there.

At that moment, Zhang Anping's heart was heavy and confused.

He whispered in his heart:

【sorry.】

All the hesitations and fantasies that I had experienced have become nothing at this moment.

All that remained in Zhang Anping's heart was determination and... an unspeakable heaviness.
