Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

After Lin Nansheng drove Zhang Anping away from the bureau headquarters, they did not go directly to Hechuan or Chengkou County, but instead took a roundabout route to a secret hideout. The two changed cars, and Zhang Anping personally disguised them.

After disguising himself, Lin Nansheng looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but say:
"Even if Yi-zhen stood right in front of me now, she probably wouldn't recognize me!"

As Zhang Anping packed up his "tools of the crime," he said:

"Don't underestimate a woman's intuition; it's a magical power that science can't quite explain."

Lin Nansheng respectfully accepted the instruction.

He understood that Zhang Anping was actually reminding him not to think he was foolproof just because he was disguised. There were quite a few female agents in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. If they met face to face, an excellent female agent like Zheng Yi would definitely plant a seed of suspicion in her heart.

Despite the excellent working relationship between Zheng Yi and Lin Nansheng, Zheng Yi has never forgotten the mess Lin Nansheng made – the complete dismantling of the Yan'an spy network remains an unsolved case to this day!

Zheng Yi almost openly expressed his concerns when Zhang Anping decided to come out with Lin Nansheng this time.

After packing up and checking their weapons and ammunition one last time, the two, now seemingly transformed, drove the unregistered car out of bustling Chongqing and headed straight for Hechuan County.

Just as the two were driving away from Chongqing, a telegram from the Operations Department was placed on Zheng Yi's desk.

Since Zhang Anping was absent, Zheng Yi was acting on Zhang Anping's behalf and was therefore qualified to translate the telegram. Looking at the translated telegram, Zheng Yi frowned and muttered to himself in surprise:

"Where did Shen Zui get the intelligence to confirm that these kidnappers would be making their escape from Yankou in Wusheng?"

"Since he's so sure, let him do what he wants."

……

The journey of eighty kilometers took more than five hours of bumpy travel to reach the destination. Lin Nansheng, who was driving, did not go directly to Caojiezi Wharf. Instead, he parked the car in a grove of trees seven kilometers away from Caojiezi Wharf and hid there. The two then walked there.

On the way to Caojiezi Wharf, Lin Nansheng finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time:

"Boss, how exactly do you determine your target?"

All the intelligence Zhang Anping possessed had passed through Lin Nansheng's hands.

This is equivalent to Lin Nansheng having Zhang Anping's vision. The currently known intelligence is: at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, by the Jialing River, Wu Liwei will lead people to trade with Zheng Yaoxian's people - a cash-first, goods-later model.

Apart from that, there was no other intelligence support.

Under these circumstances, how did Zhang Anping manage to snatch Comrade Cen Anyan from the jaws of death and rescue him ahead of schedule?
This problem has been troubling Lin Nansheng for a long time.

Zhang Anping, dressed like a young master, smiled and said, "I thought you would refrain from asking."

The two men are: a young master who has returned from studying abroad and an ordinary bodyguard. The young master is curious about the famous Caojiezi black market and has the audacity to bring a bodyguard with him.

Lin Nansheng, dressed as a bodyguard, said awkwardly:

"I find it really strange."

Zhang Anping only touched on the point and did not blame him. Instead, he asked, "Based on the intelligence we have so far, can you identify how many people are in this kidnapping group?"

"7!"

This is intelligence obtained by the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The kidnappers betrayed the underground party and the secret service's joint operation, exposing five people, including Wu Liwei. However, the secret service agents were not to be underestimated. Following these five people, they confirmed the identities of two more people—the kidnapper group now has seven people in the open.

“By investigating these 7 people, we can find 254 high suspects. After narrowing down the scope, the number can be narrowed down to 118 people. There may be some error, but more than 90% of the kidnappers are definitely among these 118 people.”

"Once you memorize the appearances of these 118 people, do you think the subsequent actions will be difficult?"

No... it's not difficult!

However, it's too difficult to remember all 118 people!
Lin Nansheng suddenly realized that Zhang Anping's plan was to have no plan at all, to find people in Caojiezi, track them, discover them, and then confirm their identities.

Lin Nansheng glanced silently at his teacher and thought to himself:

This is something only a teacher could do!
……

Hechuan is a distribution center for grain and salt in eastern Sichuan.

The Caojiezi Wharf, located about 15 kilometers southeast of Hechuan County, became an area controlled by the Gelaohui (a secret society) because it was outside the county seat. Inevitably, it became one of the transportation hubs for contraband.

The black market is often associated with these illegal businesses.

Black markets are often perceived as something shady, but in the Republic of China era, they were actually safer and more orderly than legitimate markets, because the operators understood the importance of order to a black market.

Dressed like a young master, Zhang Anping strolled leisurely through the market near the Caojiezi Wharf, occasionally offering sharp commentary:
"I'd heard that the black market was more orderly, but I didn't expect it to be even more orderly than I imagined. If I were dressed like a fat sheep in the CQ market, I'd probably have been groped by several groups of people by now. Tsk tsk, I've been here in Caojiezi for almost an hour, and not a single pickpocket has come to patronize me."

Lin Nansheng said nervously, "Young Master, please keep your voice down."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhang Anping said nonchalantly.

The members of the Gelaohui (a secret society) who had been secretly observing the two finally confirmed each other's identities:

He's definitely a rich kid from Chongqing!
They then abandoned their surveillance of Zhang Anping—the order of the black market was maintained in secret by these members of the Gelaohui (a secret society), and those toxic professions, no matter how well disguised, could hardly escape the sharp eyes of these people.

After all, this is the kind of people they deal with.

The members of the secret society who were secretly maintaining order gave up observing Zhang Anping, and also gave up observing some "qualified" merchants.

The merchants they abandoned their observation of were actually the kidnappers that the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the police had been offering a large reward for!
The members of the Gelaohui (a secret society) were indeed sharp-eyed, but which of these kidnappers, who came from the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau, hadn't operated under the noses of the Japanese? Their level of disguise was simply beyond the comprehension of these Gelaohui members.

Unfortunately, their disguise could not fool Zhang Anping's eyes.

The market formed by Caojiezi Wharf is only a small town, so Zhang Anping has limited space to roam. However, within this limited "location", Zhang Anping unsurprisingly encountered four groups of targets. The temptation of $30,000 was indeed strong. At least thirty kidnappers were divided into four groups that had no connection with each other and stopped in the market.

Having finalized these details, Zhang Anping, using the excuse of being tired from sightseeing, found an inn to stay at: Donglai Inn.

This inn could be considered luxurious by Caojiezi's standards, but Zhang Anping found fault with everything he saw. Facing the best private room, he pointed out 13 flaws in just five seconds, prompting the waiter who brought him up to roll his eyes. Finally, the waiter couldn't hold back any longer:
"Guest, are you staying here or not? If not, I'll attend to other matters now!"

"Stay—just make do." Zhang Anping pulled out a ten-dollar bill: "Stay for three to five days, and bring me some of your local specialties."

Specialty dishes?
The waiter immediately realized that this was a sucker who had been drinking too much foreign ink. After taking the money, he was no longer angry and kept nodding and bowing.

He then excitedly went to prepare a meal for Zhang Anping.

Lin Nansheng closed the door and was about to speak when he saw Zhang Anping make a shushing gesture. He was startled and immediately understood that Zhang Anping had indeed chosen this inn for another reason!

He tiptoed to the door and stood guard.

Meanwhile, Zhang Anping leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, enacting a scene where someone could hear him from behind the wall.

On the other side of the wall is Fang Minghui!
At this time, spies had already confirmed Zhang Anping's "identity" and were reporting to Fang Minghui:
"Captain, there's a fat sheep next door, wanna go for it?"

Fang Minghui said softly:

"Don't make things complicated."

His subordinate was disappointed, but still nodded and said, "I understand, we have to leave after all."

He then went to wait by the window, while Fang Minghui thought to himself:
I did the right thing. Once these people have tasted the sweetness of success, they will never stop. Sooner or later they will bring trouble upon me. I did nothing wrong; I just nipped the danger in the bud!
At this moment, Fang Minghui could never have imagined that a person whom everyone feared was right behind the wall.

Inside the luxurious room, a smile crept onto Zhang Anping's lips.

After comparing the voices with his memory, Zhang Anping was completely certain who the bandit leader was.

Fang Minghui!
Zhang Anping recalled Fang Minghui's detailed file and the various operations Fang Minghui had participated in. Combining this with the information he had now, he began a detailed analysis of Fang Minghui's personality.

After analyzing the results in my mind again and again, and comparing them one by one, a sense of solemnity gradually emerged.

His multiple analyses all shared a common characteristic:

Having chosen to risk betraying Lao Cen and join forces with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, Fang Minghui, after losing $390 million, will develop the idea of ​​keeping the money for himself.

This analysis is based on Fang Minghui's choices of action—if he could accept a share of tens of thousands of dollars, he would never have risked betraying Lao Cen and making a deal with the Secret Service. After failing to seize the dollars in the hands of the underground party, even if an additional $50,000 was added to the $390,000, he would only get a maximum of $100,000!

Before this, he could theoretically have received more than one million dollars!

Some people can accept reality, while others clearly cannot. Fang Minghui's way of doing things reveals his personality—he can put Wu Liwei out in the open as the person in charge, so he must be a deep-thinking person, and not a kind one at all.

So what would a person like this do after losing a share of the millions of dollars in spoils, since he wouldn't be satisfied with a maximum of $100,000?
Quit your mouth!

He couldn't do it himself—if he did, he would first have to face betrayal from his own men, who were all shrewd agents. Once they realized that Fang Minghui intended to silence them, betrayal would be inevitable.

The only way is to use someone else to do the dirty work!
This knife belongs to either the Police Headquarters or the Secret Service.

The greatest threat, of course, comes from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

"Using someone else to do the dirty work..."

Zhang Anping explored this possibility in his mind.

If the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics were to use someone else to kill someone, it couldn't be Zheng Yaoxian or Mao Renfeng. Considering the transaction model of money first and goods later, and the fact that the people were divided into at least four groups, even if Fang Minghui cooperated with Zheng Yaoxian or Mao Renfeng, it would be impossible to silence them.

Not to mention that he had not received any messages from Lao Zheng, which proved that Fang Minghui had not communicated with Lao Zheng.

Therefore, the only way to eliminate them is... along the evacuation route!
Shen Zui!

Zhang Anping immediately realized who Fang Minghui's scapegoat was—Shen Zui's rash decision to send troops to Tongliang County was based on extremely strange information, and combined with the analysis of Fang Minghui's personality, everything made sense!
It's clear that after exchanging ten for one with the underground party members, Fang Minghui had already conceived the idea of ​​silencing them, or rather, he had made two preparations:

It's like trying to negotiate with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (BIS). If the BIS takes the opportunity to scheme against him, he'll conveniently get rid of his own gang.

If the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics did not plot against him, he would use the Operations Department (Shen Zui of the Operations Department was seen by outsiders as Mao Renfeng's man because he was the first to join Mao Renfeng) to wipe out all his subordinates.

After confirming that his reasoning was correct, Zhang Anping had an idea:
Since Fang Minghui is so...bad, can I find a way to get both him and the money?
Zhang Anping was genuinely envious of the elites that Fang Minghui had gathered.

He secretly fueled the abolition of the Military Intelligence Bureau, placing many elites on the layoff list. According to Zhang Anping's idea, these agents, skilled in espionage, would definitely be dissatisfied with the Nationalist government after being tormented by reality. Moreover, they had shed blood for the Nationalist government, and the harsh reality would make them completely betray the Nationalist government.

But Fang Minghui beat him to it, gathering a group of elites and pulling off a major heist.

These people would naturally leave once they have money, making it impossible to recruit them into the organization.

But now that Fang Minghui is scheming against them, if the money is robbed by the Military Intelligence Bureau or by themselves, and Fang Minghui's true colors are revealed, what will these elites with nowhere to retreat choose?
After carefully reviewing his ideas, Zhang Anping repeatedly calculated their feasibility and finally arrived at a feasible result.

Zhang Anping, who had remained silent but whose heart was in turmoil, made his decision and softly called out:

"Nansheng—come here."

He got up and stood by the window—the incident of "walls having ears" had just occurred, and he didn't want to be the one being overheard.

Lin Nansheng got up and walked over to Zhang Anping.

"The plan has changed—"

Zhang Anping instructed: "From now on, you and I will be special envoys of the Chongqing Municipal Committee. I will meet with Wu Liwei as an underground party member. Don't give yourself away then."

Lin Nansheng looked completely bewildered. If he remembered correctly, their goal was to rescue Lao Cen by force!
How did it come to be that he met Wu Liwei as an underground party member?

Just as he was about to ask, Zhang Anping's expression changed, and he whispered, "There's movement over there. They must be going to see Wu Liwei. I'll go follow them—you stay here and don't give yourself away!" (End of Chapter)
