Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 761 Zhang Anping: Lu Zongfang is the undercover!

The Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation deployed more than 800 people, with more than 500 police officers and soldiers from the Security Command coming to assist, and launched round after round of searches on the blocked Minsheng Road.

This scene was very similar to the scene when Minami Yoko was searching for Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian in Shanghai - but the result was the same as that incident. Such a huge amount of manpower and material resources were invested, and it took two days and two nights, and they dug three feet deep into the ground over and over again, but they still couldn't find Sister Qian.

This incident even delayed the planning of the celebration meeting at Jiaochangkou.

"Impossible! It's impossible for a healthy person to disappear out of thin air!"

At the joint meeting of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation, Huang Wei, a representative of the Central Bureau of Investigation, accused the Military Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation:
"Did you catch someone and deliberately hide it from me, the Central Bureau of Investigation?"

Unfortunately, the person in charge of the Military Control Commission is Zhang Shihao. If it were someone else, they might not pay attention to Huang Wei's accusations of inappropriate behavior, but Zhang Anping would never tolerate him.

"Fork out."

As soon as these three words came out of his mouth, several military secret agents stepped forward. Huang Wei glared at them and said angrily:

"Who dares!"

Unfortunately, there was no response. The Military Intelligence Bureau agent dragged Huang Wei out without hesitation. Huang Wei wanted to scold, but was met with a warning look from his Central Intelligence Bureau colleague. He was so out of control that he remembered Zhang Shihao's great reputation and immediately shut up.

As for the other people in the Central Bureau of Investigation, they didn't dare to react at all.

There is no other reason, just because of the three words [Zhang Shihao].

"People can't disappear out of thin air."

Zhang Anping said calmly: "There is only one possibility. Our exploration of the ground is not thorough enough. Keep exploring!"

"In addition, the Military and Central Bureau of Investigation jointly set up five inspection teams to randomly check whether each exploration team is doing their job seriously. Once a problem is found, all the areas explored by the team will be re-explored!"

"The person responsible will be dismissed and investigated immediately!"

"The inspection team supervises each other. If there are any careless people or those who conceal things from each other, they will be severely punished!"

Faced with Zhang Anping's order, both the members of the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission did not dare to refuse and responded one after another.

The two families, who were not on the same page with each other, started to cooperate under Zhang Anping's order. No one dared to be negligent, for fear of being picked out by Zhang Anping and crushed to death like a chicken.

What is authority?

This is!
But no matter how authoritative Zhang Anping was, no matter how the members of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation cooperated, the person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and could not be found.

After four full days, everyone had realized one fact:
The person just disappeared out of nowhere.

……

Dai Chunfeng called Zhang Anping.

"Lift the ban."

Zhang Anping responded softly: "Yeah."

There was no stubborn talk of giving him a few more days or anything like that.

"What do you think?"

"People can't disappear out of thin air."

Dai Chunfeng listened quietly on the phone.

"There is only one possibility. She was sent out."

Dai Chunfeng paused: "How did you get out?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Anping whispered:
"During the four days of the ban, only you and Wang Tianfeng left, riding in the same car."

Dai Chunfeng laughed and scolded when he heard this: "You stinky boy, you have a strong desire for revenge, and you still can't forget it?"

Ignoring Dai Chunfeng's scolding, Zhang Anping said, "Besides you, there is also Shanwu - Shanwu drove off Minsheng Road before."

"Ok?"

Dai Chunfeng just nodded lightly.

"I need to check Shanwu."

"Ah."

He just hummed softly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"I want Lu Zongfang to check Shanwu."

"can."

"Would it be convenient for you to come to Minsheng Road?"

"What's the matter?"

"Let's do an experiment."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Anping stood up and walked to the window with a serious expression.

The so-called asking Lu Zongfang to investigate Dai Shanwu was certainly not to flatter Dai Chunfeng, but to educate Dai Shanwu while he was "playing tricks" on Dai Chunfeng.

Because he had already decided to "point" Lu Zongfang.

When Wang Hui reported to Dai Chunfeng, the result was already determined.

Zhang Anping had no room to maneuver at all - he couldn't protect Lu Zongfang, especially after the bomb exploded ten years ago.

Although he cleared himself of suspicion with the back-up plan he had arranged five years ago, the seed of suspicion had already been planted in Dai Chunfeng's heart once. When it happened a second and third time, he could not defend himself even with his eloquence.

As I said, in the spy business, there is no belief in coincidence. No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Anping is, two or three coincidences are enough.

If it were someone else, one coincidence would be enough to be fatal!
But he couldn't afford to make any mistakes - he had planned too many things. If anything went wrong with him, there would inevitably be a thorough purge within the Military Control Commission, and all his plans would be ruined.

In this situation, the only one who could be "pointed" was Lu Zongfang.

Since there is no choice, then use the worst outcome to gain other benefits.

It's like when the house is on fire and there's no way to save it, you might as well stuff a few potatoes in and roast them - at least it can help you suppress your hunger afterwards.

Therefore, he used Lu Zongfang's behavior of investigating Dai Shanwu to educate Dai Shanwu.

On the one hand, he was showing Dai Chunfeng his pettiness and bad temper, and on the other hand, he was telling Dai Chunfeng that I was still your nephew, Zhang Anping, who regarded Dai Shanwu as his younger brother.

At the same time, it is also a means to "stabilize" Lu Zongfang - this is in line with Zhang Anping's usual way of doing things.

The experiment he mentioned was a way to "point out" Lu Zongfang.

……

Lu Zongfang was confused by the sudden order. He did not execute it immediately, but rushed to No. 239 and came to the office prepared for Zhang Anping.

As soon as Lu Zongfang came in, he went straight to the point: "Chief Zhang, there is no problem with Shanwu. Would you...consider it again?"

Zhang An looked at Lu Zongfang calmly without answering.

Lu Zongfang was frightened by Zhang Anping's gaze. He suppressed his discomfort and said again:
"Cha Shanwu, this is a serious matter. Can you please communicate with the Director?"

This time Zhang Anping responded: "Follow orders."

Lu Zongfang had no choice but to say, "Yes."

"Take the people to this place, don't give them any preferential treatment, and just follow the normal review process."

"it is good."

Lu Zongfang took the address handed to him by Zhang Anping, glanced at it, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Looking at Lu Zongfang's back, Zhang Anping gently closed his eyes.

He didn't know whether Lu Zongfang was aware of the coming danger, because Lu Zongfang's performance was flawless, just like when he faced Dai Chunfeng.

After all, he is a senior veteran agent.

Zhang Anping actually gave Lu Zongfang a heads-up - he told Lu Zongfang that Wang Hui had met Qian Chongwen in a teahouse.

At that time, he hoped that Lu Zongfang would take the opportunity to evacuate.

But whether Lu Zongfang was too confident or didn't understand his suggestion, he didn't take any action at all.

And now, even if Lu Zongfang wanted to leave, he couldn't leave!
In the original time and space, Lu Zongfang was shot directly by the traitor Li Haifeng, but his death was intentional by the Military Control Commission.

Because the Military Control Commission had already confirmed Lü Zongfang's identity as a hidden agent, and given Lü Zongfang's rank within the Military Control Commission, once an investigation was launched, it would be equivalent to announcing:

Senior officials of the Military Control Commission were instigated by the underground party.

This would seriously affect the image of the Military Control Commission, and would also expose the fact that the military leadership was highly infiltrated by the underground party, making it a scandal for the Military Control Commission.

It's funny to say that although high-ranking officials of the Military Intelligence Bureau would be hunted down when they defected to the Japanese, everyone could accept it.

But once we are instigated by the underground party, it is unacceptable!
It is easy to implicate others in the pursuit of accountability, or even to launch a serious internal purge.

Therefore, the Military Control Commission used Li Haifeng to shoot Lu Zongfang.

The way Lu Zongfang died also meant that he had not been subjected to severe torture - which was exactly what Zhang Anping did not dare to gamble on.

Once he recognizes Lu Zongfang, what if Lu Zongfang betrays him before he rescues him?
Zhang Anping's current situation does not allow for any carelessness.

So, he could only watch helplessly - until he rescued him, Zhang Anping had no intention of completely recognizing Lu Zongfang.

That’s right, Zhang Anping always wanted to rescue his comrades.

If he wants to rescue Lu Zongfang, he must take the initiative and obtain the power to "deal with" Lu Zongfang from Dai Chunfeng.

Only in this way can Zhang Anping save Lu Zongfang.

Not long after Lu Zongfang left, Dai Chunfeng's car appeared in the yard of No. 239. Without waiting for Dai Chunfeng to get out of the car, Zhang Anping rushed out and got into the car directly.

After getting in the car, he said to the driver: "Go to the road closure checkpoint on the left section of Minsheng Road."

The driver looked at Dai Chunfeng, and started the car only after Dai Chunfeng nodded. Just as he was about to drive away, he was stopped by Zhang Anping:
"and many more."

Dai Chunfeng frowned and said:

"What on earth are you trying to do?" There was no emotion on his face, and he didn't have the anger he had when his son was being interrogated.

"You'll know in a moment - Secretary Wang, please sit in the back."

The secretary sitting in the front row was stunned and couldn't help but look at Dai Chunfeng. Only after Dai Chunfeng nodded did he get out of the car and sit in the back.

Three grown men squeezed into the back row.

"You can go."

Dai Chunfeng hadn't enjoyed such a crowded ride for more than a decade. He said to Zhang Anping in a bad mood while the car was driving:

"You little brat, I've discovered that you really have no respect for your elders!"

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Anping would have said a few glib words, but today he was unusually silent and remained silent in the face of Dai Chunfeng's accusations.

Seeing this, Dai Chunfeng realized that Zhang Anping did not do it on purpose, so he closed his eyes and waited for the riddler's final solution.

When the car was about to reach the checkpoint, Zhang Anping suddenly said to his secretary:
"Secretary Wang, please bend down and squat."

"what?"

Dai Chunfeng's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he had thought of something. He nodded slightly to the secretary, and the secretary had to lean over and was covered by Zhang Anping's taken-off military jacket.

The car stopped at the checkpoint, and the spy on duty came running over when he saw the car.

"Boss, Commander Zhang."

Zhang Anping gave a puzzling order: "Call 25 people to follow."

Faced with this order that was precise down to numbers, the spy was a little confused, but he still responded immediately, and then went on to count people without stopping. When enough people were gathered, Zhang Anping signaled to open the roadblock and instructed the driver to drive.

After exiting Minsheng Road and turning a corner, Zhang Anping asked the driver to park the car at an alley.

"Secretary Wang, you will quietly get off this side and walk directly into the alley. Do you understand me?"

It had come to this point, so how could the secretary not understand what Zhang Anping was "replicating"? He nodded without hesitation.

Dai Chunfeng's face was extremely gloomy. He got out of the car with Zhang Anping before the spy running behind him caught up with him.

After Zhang Anping got out of the car, he led the agents to a place more than ten meters away from the car and issued a number of strange orders:

"Spread out where you are."

"You, you, you, come this way."

"You, you, you, come forward."

The order was so strange that it gave people the illusion of being teased, but the agents did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and carried out the order accordingly.

Zhang Anping suddenly stopped giving instructions and asked, "Did anyone see how many people were in the car just now?"

"Report, three of you!"

Zhang Anping asked again: "When you got to the front of the car just now, how many people did you see?"

"Report, three of you."

Dai Chunfeng, who was standing aside, turned around with a gloomy face, got into the car, and sent the driver away.

Inside the car, ink could be squeezed out of Dai Chunfeng's face.

There is no doubt that after eliminating all impossibilities, Zhang Anping's "experiment" is the only possibility.

Although he had guessed something when Zhang Anping instructed the driver and secretary, he was still extremely angry when his secretary easily used the car to escape into the alley without anyone noticing.

The traitor who made him unable to sleep or eat was actually the veteran of the Military Control Commission... Lu Zongfang!

Dai Chunfeng clenched his fists, wishing he could start torturing Lu Zongfang right away.

But soon reason suppressed the rage.

Cannot review!
Don’t even make it public!
The problem cannot be with the Military Control Commission, and Lu Zongfang cannot be a traitor!

He gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Asshole, you got it for free!"

Of course, he didn't want to let Lu Zongfang go easily, and even wanted to kill him by lingchi.

But, no!

This information was provided by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. If it fails due to the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, Ye Xiufeng will definitely settle accounts with him - he doesn't care about Ye Xiufeng, but he must consider the opinion of the chief aide-de-camp after the matter is exposed!
Moreover, someone at Lu Zongfang's level really cannot be in communism - even if he really is in communism, he cannot be in communism!

This scandal will call Dai Chunfeng's ability into question, especially at this critical juncture.

You have to know that the Military Control Commission now has enemies all over the world. Everyone wants to break up the Military Control Commission and divide the power in Dai Chunfeng's hands.

If you expose your weaknesses at this time, how could those who are secretly watching you miss the opportunity to take advantage of your misfortune?
Therefore, Dai Chunfeng could only hide his hatred.

After giving the order to disband, Zhang Anping came to the car with a serious face and ignored the driver's departure.

Dai Chunfeng's breathing was unusually heavy, but he didn't speak after Zhang Anping got in the car.

Zhang Anping was silent for a while, then said softly: "Now... this is the only possibility."

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping in silence.

Zhang Anping said again:
"He is the... traitor."

After a moment of silence, Dai Chunfeng said, "You don't need to worry about this anymore. Let's talk to the Central Bureau of Investigation and lift the ban."

Zhang Anping said coldly, "Director, leave Lu Zongfang to me."

"What are you going to do?"

Zhang Anping said coldly: "Let him die at the hands of the Communists."

Dai Chunfeng was stunned and asked, "Why?"

“He’s too high-ranking.”

Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly. He just told Zhang Anping "not to worry about it anymore" because he was worried that Zhang Anping wanted to use Lu Zongfang as a breakthrough to track him down.

In his opinion, Zhang Anping's hatred for the traitor Lu Zongfang was extremely deep.

The intelligence network that he had painstakingly set up in Yan'an was destroyed in one day. Several attempts to target the underground party not only failed but were also disclosed by the party, causing the nephew's reputation to plummet. It can be said that there was a blood feud and an irreconcilable hatred.

However, he could not let Lu Zongfang's collusion with the Communists be exposed.

So he wanted to send someone else to deal with Lu Zongfang.

But since Zhang Anping is not blinded by hatred, this matter is more suitable for Zhang Anping to handle.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then—"

"I want Shanwu to participate."

"Ok?"

Dai Chunfeng was stunned, but soon understood the meaning of Zhang Anping's arrangement - whether it was to let Lu Zongfang investigate Dai Shanwu or to let Dai Shanwu participate, it was all for one purpose:
Let Dai Shanwu truly experience the bloodiness and cruelty of the spy business.

He understood Zhang Anping's approach.

His foolish son Dai Shanwu is a hopeless case, but now he is very ambitious and wants to stand out in the Military Control Commission. He is even so foolish as to take over his position.

Are you kidding? Who among the people in the Military Control Commission is not a tiger or a wolf?

A person has at least three or five tricks, and some, like my nephew, are full of tricks.

If that stupid son of mine really came to power, he wouldn't even know how he would die!
The nephew did this to let his silly son experience firsthand the twists and turns of being a spy, and it was also for the sake of the silly boy.

It is so educational to be examined by someone you trust and then "handle" the trusted person yourself.

Dai Chunfeng knew very well that his nephew had never considered his stupid son as a rival - the two were just not at the same level. Dai Chunfeng knew this very well, and so did Zhang Anping.

So Zhang Anping could make this request openly.

As for having ulterior motives, that is even more impossible.

Tiger, do you need to plot against a squeaking baby bird?
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly: "Okay."

He was even touched in his heart that his nephew cared about his silly son more than he, as a father, did.

Hearing Dai Chunfeng's permission, Zhang Anping nodded gently, and the big stone in his heart was put down.

The initiative of this matter is in my hands, and I can finally save Lu Zongfang's life.

What remains, of course, is how to save his life.

Zhang Anping has a drug that can cause fake death, but he cannot use it on Lu Zongfang.

Even when it came to "dealing with" Lu Zongfang, Zhang Anping tried his best not to get personally involved.

Because Lu Zongfang was a veteran of the Military Control Commission, many people in the Military Control Commission knew him. Once the fake death drug was used, Lu Zongfang would have to go to the United States and hide his identity.

However, Zhang Anping has to work hard in the United States in the future. Once Lu Zongfang is recognized and the case is traced back, he will not be able to escape responsibility!
It is even possible that he will return empty-handed.

Dai Shanwu!
In this situation, Zhang Anping thought of his good cousin.

It is only appropriate for Dai Shanwu to take the blame for this.

And it kills two birds with one stone.

Even if it is discovered, Dai Shanwu can be thrown out to take the blame - Lu Zongfang investigated Dai Shanwu, and Dai Shanwu assassinated Lu Zongfang with revenge.

This reason makes sense.

He wasn't even worried that Dai Chunfeng would see through his intentions.

There was a high probability that Dai Shanwu regarded himself as a powerful enemy in the political struggle, but in Dai Chunfeng's eyes, he never regarded him as an opponent at all and there was no need to plot against him.

Of course, he still needs to make some secret plans on how to protect Lu Zongfang.
