Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

After the agreement, Fang Minghui and Wu Liwei went to Lao Cen again.

"We agree to your terms!"

Fang Minghui directly revealed his trump card: "But there is one condition - we need to get the money immediately!"

Lao Cen nodded: "That's no problem, but we need to take over the two and a half dollars."

"How do we trade? I don't trust you!"

Lao Cen thought to himself, I still don’t trust you guys!

"Chengdu, our comrades will take your people to receive the money."

"Chongqing, your people take our comrades to receive the money!"

"Contact the radio station and deliver them all together after confirmation."

Lao Cen already had a plan in mind. After he spoke it out, Fang Minghui and Wu Liwei looked at each other and agreed to the plan.

"Okay, let's do it."

"Then I need to borrow your radio."

"no problem."

Fang Minghui readily agreed and asked someone to take Lao Cen to send the message while he and Wu Liwei waited outside. Taking this opportunity, Fang Minghui said to Wu Liwei:
"I'll play the good cop and you'll play the bad cop. Keep the man surnamed Cen for now. When the deal is done, we'll detain him and hand him over to the Security Bureau—"

"Brothers in Chongqing, please be careful and find a way to find out the identities and whereabouts of these communists, and then sell them to the Bureau of Secrets. If the Bureau of Secrets wants to keep our share, Cen Yuyan and this information will be our bargaining chips."

Wu Liwei frowned:

"In this case, isn't our connection with the Secret Service too deep? If they turn against us at that time, we may not be able to escape."

Wu Liwei had no objection to betraying Cen Weiyan, but he did not trust the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics - he himself came from the Military Control Commission and knew how dirty the intelligence industry was.

He could accept betraying Cen Yuyan in exchange for half of the ransom. Even if the Bureau of Secrets went back on its word, Wu Liwei believed that they would not suffer much loss.

But if they are too closely connected with the Secret Service, and once the Secret Service turns against them, how many of the brothers who participated in the kidnapping will be able to escape unscathed?

Fang Minghui said: "Don't forget that the hostages are still in our hands!"

"You're not going to let him go?"

Fang Minghui argued confidently: "This is our life-saving bargaining chip, how can we give it up? If we want to give it up, we have to wait until we are far away. The Bureau of Secrets and the police station are forcing us like this. According to the rules, we should chop off a few hands first to deter them! I didn't threaten to chop off my hands, that's quite polite!"

Of course, this is just talk.

It is not uncommon for some unscrupulous kidnappers to extort money again after kidnapping someone and getting the ransom.

But the identities of these "fat sheep" are extraordinary after all. Once they really anger the police station and the Secret Service, they will not care about the safety of the hostages and their actions will not be so "kind".

Fang Minghui would naturally not be angry, but he could now use the excuse that the Security Bureau and the police station were unethical and temporarily not release the hostages.

Wu Liwei warned: "If you push them too far, they might turn against you."

Fang Minghui said: "Release the bodyguard first, and then contact the Security Bureau. We are not in a hurry to get the ransom, so they will not make a desperate effort."

Seeing Fang Minghui's determination, Wu Liwei said no more: "That's right."

Lao Cen finished sending the message quickly and came out. When he saw the two people guarding outside, he said:
"I have already told our comrades that you can send someone to the Jinxi Teahouse on Chunxi Road in Chengdu - this is the code for the meeting."

Lao Cen took out a piece of paper, on which was written in detail the code and procedures for the meeting.

After Fang Minghui took it, he also expressed his sincerity:

"Go to Baoyuantong Department Store on Duyou Street and find a logistics person named An Lihui. He will take you to receive the US dollars in the city."

"Go to Laifengyi. There is a neighborhood grocery store south of the gas station. Go to the grocery store and find a man named Song Hangyuan. He will take you to get the US dollars."

After that, Fang Minghui warned: "Director Cen, we have already agreed to your harsh conditions. I hope you won't play tricks!"

"We are a bunch of brothers who are now hated by heaven and earth and have no home. We did this just for the money. Now that you have taken the lion's share, I hope you won't break the rules!"

Cen Yanyan said seriously: "Captain Fang, please rest assured. Before the transaction is completed, I will stay in Qitang Village and will not go anywhere!"

This statement saved Wu Liwei from having to frown, so he said, "This is the best! If you dare to play tricks, we will both be doomed!"

The two of them acted so realistically, and since they were originally the "abandoned pawns" of the Military Control Commission, Cen An-yen did not have any doubts and instead believed in their sincerity.

……

Movies, TV dramas and the general public sometimes portray some bandits as righteous bandits, but in reality, bandits are just bandits, so how can they be righteous?
A group of Chen bandits active in Bishan are real traditional bandits - they harass civilians, attack caravans, participate in kidnappings, and do all kinds of evil.

At this time, this group of bandits were anxiously waiting for the arrival of a fat sheep in a small village that was in contact with bandits.

A bandit approached the leader of the gang and said, "Brother, I'm worried - could the fat sheep we want to take over be the young masters who were kidnapped a few days ago?"

The bandit leader laughed and said, "You are kidding. The kidnapping of the young master happened three days ago. This gang of migrant workers did it half a month ago!"

“I always feel uneasy.”

The bandit leader said proudly: "You think too much. Besides, we are the people of the Chen family. Which bastard is so blind as to dare to cheat us?"

"Too."

The reason why the bandit leader was so sure was because this group of people who crossed the river had contacted them half a month ago, saying that they had kidnapped the son of the commander of the Chengdu Security Brigade. The other party spread the word:
The son can be born again, but the kidnapper must die!
The gang had no choice but to hand the person over to Chen Lanting's unit, hoping that Chen Lanting could come forward to exchange them for some guns and ammunition - this was something that had been agreed upon long ago and had nothing to do with this sensational kidnapping case.

Chen Lanting's troops had been able to operate around Chongqing for more than 20 years, so they naturally had a solid information network. This news had long been verified by them, so they dared to take over.

"Brother, there's a letter over there!"

"Letter? What's going on?"

"They were not well-informed and didn't know about the recent kidnapping. When they came here in a swagger, they accidentally ran into people from the police station. They got into a fight and several people died. They had to hide in a valley. They asked us to go to the valley to pick them up."

"These fools thought it was a river-crossing dragon, but it turned out to be a group of river-crossing insects!"

The bandit leader laughed, and then had other thoughts - if that's the case, then why bother being a middleman, just take advantage of the situation!

The idea was good, but what happened next made the bandit leader regret it so much that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

He led people to the valley to pick up people. He originally thought there would be only three or five fat sheep, but unexpectedly there were more than thirty people at the scene. All of these people were tied up and blindfolded. Judging from their thin bodies, they had probably been hungry for several days.

But these people are all tall and strong, with calluses all over their palms, and they are obviously old hands who often play with guns.

"Fuck it, it's so hot!"

The bandit leader was driven into autism. Even a fool could see that these people must be the bodyguards of the young man who was kidnapped three days ago. Now he couldn't explain himself.

"Brother, run! It will be too late if you don't run now!"

"Yes, yes, quick..."

Before he could finish his words, gunshots rang out.

In the darkness, I didn't know how many people were attacking me, all I could hear was the sound of gunfire everywhere.

The bandit leaders were terrified. Even though they were only a few in number and never took the national army seriously when eating meat and drinking, they knew their own business. With equal forces, it was difficult for them to bully the security corps - if the security corps were not almost one family with them, they really could not beat them.

Not to mention dealing with a serious army.

At this moment, the sound of crackling gunfire rang out, and you could tell it was the American machine guns. The firepower was far more powerful than their bolt-action rifles and shotguns.

The bandit leader hurriedly said, "Push the hostages out quickly! Tell them that if they dare to shoot, we will all die together!"

In fact, the ones who surrounded them were an elite squad affiliated with the General Police Department. There were several such elite squads, and their purpose was to keep an eye on the bandits around Bishan and search for hostages.

This group of bandits were naturally under secret surveillance by the police station team. When they made any unusual movements, this elite police station team quietly followed them - because it was already dark at this time, they had no idea what this group of bandits were going to do, and they just monitored them according to their mission.

Therefore, it was naturally not them who opened fire!

After the gunshots, the leading police officer was furious: "What happened? Who fired the gun?"

"Not our brothers."

"Fuck! I told you to keep your distance and not get discovered easily. Which bastard was so stupid as to get discovered by the bandits?!"

The leading police officer was so angry that he cursed. Their task was to monitor and keep an eye on the hostages, not to take direct action - if any hostages were injured or killed, they would be in big trouble even if they rescued them.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

"Shout, prepare..."

Before he could even utter the word "retreat", the bandits on the other side began to shout, "Brothers of the National Army, don't shoot yet - look who these people are!"

Torches lit up in the darkness, and hostages were pushed out one by one.

After seeing the hostages clearly, a police officer exclaimed: "It was really Chen Lanting's people who did it!"

The police officers did not dare to shoot again, but the leading police officer's eyes were shining.

The hostage was found!
The leading police officer said with a happy face: "Retreat further! Tell them! Send a telegram to the headquarters and ask them to send someone over!"

The elite team retreated immediately.

The bandits were overjoyed when they saw this and their ambush troops withdrew!

"Hurry up and get out of the encirclement first - damn, this is really a mess!"

Only the bandit leader was in pain. He had to release the hostage in order to save his life, which was tantamount to acknowledging that they were the ones who kidnapped. Now, he was in trouble.

In the darkness, two figures carrying Thompson submachine guns watched this scene and couldn't help but sneer.

The blame was passed off so easily.

It’s so damn easy!
……

Chongqing Police Headquarters.

In fact, the General Police Headquarters has moved to Nanjing, and the sign here has been removed.

But because of the hostage incident, Tang Zong had to bring a group of elite troops with him and work in the Police Headquarters which had not been completely moved.

Although it was already dark, the Police Headquarters was bustling with activity.

Nominally they were busy because of the hostage situation, but in reality they were so busy because of the US dollars.

Nearly two million US dollars were hidden between Qingmu Pass and Laifeng Posthouse. The money was nominally destroyed, but the police station is now digging deep underground to get the money.

In fact, Tang Zong also considered whether to exchange it with the Bureau of Secrets at that time, but after thinking about it, he was worried that this was Zhang Anping's conspiracy. After repeated consideration, he thought that it would be easier to find the money outside the city than inside the city, so he insisted on not exchanging it.

Now that the final touches have been taken care of (the money was nominally destroyed), Tang Zong is looking forward to getting the money.

"Director, the Yunwushan Squad sent a telegram - the hostages are in Chen Lanting's Yunwushan Division!"

Tang Zong, who was worried about the US dollar, was overjoyed after hearing the report from his subordinates. It was a good opportunity. He could focus the attention of the Taotie on Yunwu Mountain.

"Immediately dispatch more police officers to Yunwu Mountain, and notify all the dispatched teams to rush to Yunwu Mountain - report the information to the Security Bureau."

"Send someone to the garrison headquarters and request the garrison to close the mountain."

"Notify the next four families of the news."

After the arrangements were completed, Tang Zong paced around the room alone, with a smile on his face growing larger and larger.

Good thing, good thing!

Now the money is gone and the hostage has been found. As long as we rescue the hostage, everything will be fine.

He was very happy at first, but when he thought that he was flying with the Secret Service this time, Tang Zong became angry again.

Zhang Shihao, this bastard, did nothing during the whole process. Instead, he cheated the police station and ended up winning without doing anything!

Instead, I got myself into trouble!
"I'll have to disgust Zhang Shihao later!"

……

Yunwu Mountain suddenly attracted a lot of attention.

After so many eyes were attracted, a secret transaction finally began.

Fang Minghui's people went to Jinxi Teahouse in Chengdu and saw the $39 that had been prepared long ago;
At the same time, members of the underground party were lured away to get the money.

The two parties confirmed through the radio, and the tedious process took nearly an hour to complete. After finally confirming that everything was correct, both parties took the money and left - the deal was done.

Qitang Village.

Cen Anyan, who was guarding the telegraph room, breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the telegram from his comrade:
"It's a pleasure working with you two."

Fang Minghui smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

This fake smile startled Lao Cen, and he deliberately tried to test him:

"Captain Fang, Chief Wu, it's getting late today. If it's convenient tomorrow, can you send someone to take me back?"

Fang Minghui said, "Director Cen, although we have received the money, we brothers have not yet divided it. As for me, I will be a small person - you will be detained here first, and when everything is settled, I will personally send you away, how about that?"

Cen Anyan was just testing him just now - since the cooperation has ended, he should leave now. The so-called escort tomorrow is purely a test.

I didn’t expect Fang Minghui to come up with this excuse.

Cen Anyan immediately realized that Fang Minghui had other plans. His mind raced and he looked displeased:
"Captain Fang, you are being a bit mean. We do things uprightly, how could we be as shameless as you think? Since you don't trust me, I will accompany you! Let's see if you are being too suspicious!"

"Director Cen is a righteous man. I am just judging others by my own standards. But we brothers exchanged our lives for money. If we don't have the money in our pockets, we will not feel at ease. I hope Director Cen will forgive us."

Fang Minghui said nice words and signaled his men to send Cen Yuyan away.

As soon as Lao Cen left, Wu Liwei said:
"He's a smart guy. He must have guessed our purpose and deliberately let us down our guard."

"How can you become the director of the Propaganda Department of the Military Control Commission without some tricks?" Fang Minghui said with a smile, "Unfortunately, no matter how many tricks you have, it's useless because the guns are in our hands."

After he finished speaking, he put away his smile and said to Wu Liwei:
"Old Wu, how about you...take charge of this matter with the Bureau of Secrets?"

"I'll go?" Wu Liwei also had thousands of thoughts in his mind, but he said calmly:

"Okay, it's more appropriate for me to go."

At this moment, Wu Liwei's heart was actually filled with alarm.

Fang Minghui said again: "Don't let this matter leak out."

"Yes, after all, what we did was not authentic."

"That's not what I meant—" Fang Minghui took a deep breath and said, "After all, we are taking a risk in this matter. We are really trying to get something out of the fire—the previous things were done by us brothers together, but this matter doesn't require too many people to participate. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Liwei showed a look of surprise, and then a look of ecstasy: "Lao Fang, you mean..."

Fang Minghui nodded slightly.

Wu Liwei's face was filled with greed: "You are right! The kidnapping was done by everyone, the money should be shared by everyone!"

"But the current risks are ours to bear, and the work is also ours to do!"

"This matter really needs to be kept secret!"

Fang Minghui smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to share with my brothers, it's just that there are too many people and too many mouths. If there weren't so many people involved in the kidnapping this time, we could have hidden the money and waited until the storm died down before taking it."

"It's because there are so many people and so many gossips that we have to hold our noses and be cheated."

“This is a lesson!”

Wu Liwei was very excited. "You are right. Lao Fang, please make arrangements. I will go to meet the people from the Security Bureau tonight. This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Lao An and Lao Yan must not say a word."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. You pack up and leave later. We'll use the radio to contact you later."

Fang Minghui was overjoyed, thinking that money is indeed the key to success.

He then went downstairs to make arrangements. As soon as he left, Wu Liwei's expression became extremely solemn, and there was even a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

He was persuaded by Fang Minghui to participate in the kidnapping, firstly for money and secondly because he was angry about being bullied by those damn Taotie.

But now Fang Minghui wanted to embezzle the money extorted from the Bureau of Secrets without the knowledge of his brothers - this made Wu Liwei very angry.

Fang Minghui cannot be trusted!

Since he could hide the secret from his brothers, he would probably kill them in the end to silence them and take his share.

If you work in the intelligence field for a long time, you will meet all kinds of people, and there will be too many dirty things that will refresh your worldview.

But Wu Liwei still agreed - the reason he agreed was to stabilize Fang Minghui.

[Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! ]

The fierceness in Wu Liwei's eyes became even stronger. (End of this chapter)
