Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Given Wu Liwei's current position, it would be very difficult for him to change the actions of the entire kidnapping group.

The ship he was on was being secretly monitored by four forces—Zhang Anping had only discovered three of them; the other, a fully armed force, was hidden among the cargo ships at the dock. If Wu Liwei made any unusual movements, it would be easy to be detected.

Secondly, Wu Liwei was unsure how many of the members would trust him.

Even if he were to run up to the members of the kidnapping gang now and tell them about Fang Minghui's conspiracy, it wouldn't be easy for them to completely believe him—even if they did, it would take a lot of talking, and with dozens of people in the entire kidnapping gang, he simply didn't have the time to tell them one by one!
Because among these people, there will always be someone who trusts Fang Minghui and then secretly leaks information to him. Once Fang Minghui finds out, it will lead to a bloodbath.

This result was naturally not what Wu Liwei wanted.

Of course, he wasn't without ideas, but since the underground party had come to "recruit" him, he had to show some strength!

So he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Anping understood Wu Liwei's thoughts. In fact, during the time he waited for nightfall, he spent a lot of time thinking about how to rescue these former agents who had gone astray.

So Zhang Anping gave his answer without hesitation: "Let's have a match first!"

"beat?"

"Of course, we should rescue Comrade Cen Anyan first and disrupt your deal with Zheng Yaoxian—you're supposed to be from the Military Intelligence Bureau, how can you trust their integrity so much?" Zhang Anping complained.
"Close your eyes and think about it. Given Zheng Yaoxian's character, how could he possibly let you go? How could he just let thirty thousand dollars slip through his fingers?!"

Wu Liwei's eyes flickered. In his understanding, it was a transaction with Mao Renfeng, but why did the underground party say it was a transaction with Zheng Yaoxian?
Was the underground party's intelligence flawed, or was there something else going on?
"Judging from your expression, it seems you don't know that the person you're dealing with is Zheng Yaoxian?" Zhang Anping realized and then explained, "I guess Mao Renfeng doesn't want to take the blame, so she deliberately pushed Zheng Yaoxian out as a target—Zheng Yaoxian isn't stupid, he must have seen through Mao Renfeng's intentions, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to take you down, so as to avoid facing Zhang Shihao's wrath."

"In terms of timing, the latter half of the night should be when his men secretly set up an ambush."

"Let's give you a small hand first!"

Wu Liwei felt a chill in his heart. He thought that because he came from the Military Intelligence Bureau, he should be very familiar with its style of operation. Now it seems that he was too naive. These big shots in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics are all deep-thinking and ruthless people!

"what's next?"

"Of course we'll continue to bail you out at the Yankou Wharf—you're not trying to convince each of your so-called brothers one by one, are you?"

Zhang Anping's words carried a hint of mockery.

Ignoring the sarcasm in Zhang Anping's words, Wu Liwei asked in a deep voice, "Are you confident?"

Instead of answering, Zhang Anping used a rhetorical question: "What do you think?"

"I don't want any of these brothers to die."

"Some sacrifices are unavoidable—our people will launch an attack before Shen Zui's operations begin, ensuring you don't step into the operations' encirclement and covering your evacuation."

Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate. If anyone is killed during this time, please forgive me for being powerless to help.

Wu Liwei frowned. This was not the outcome he wanted. He would have preferred that his brothers be unharmed.

"Is there no better way?"

"People won't shed tears until they see the coffin. As long as they don't see the network of the action department, some people will still believe Fang Minghui."

Wu Liwei stared at Zhang Anping in astonishment, unable to believe he would hear this name from the underground party—Fang Minghui was the real mastermind behind the kidnapping group, a fact unknown to at least 60% of the group's members.

The underground party actually knew!

"Do I know Fang Minghui is strange?" Zhang Anping gave him a look that said, "You guys are really arrogant. The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has already narrowed down the main members. With a little deduction and verification, we can basically lock him down. You guys come from the Military Intelligence Bureau, do you really look down on the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics now?"

"If you try to negotiate with a tiger for its skin or dance with a wolf, you'll always have to pay a price!"

His last words were laced with sarcasm—Zhang Anping would not easily forget Comrade Chen Shugen's arrest.

Wu Liwei remained silent. He knew that what the underground party member in front of him said made a lot of sense. Before seeing the Yellow River, many people would not give up. If he wanted to save more people, he could only choose to trust the underground party.

If he acts rashly, Fang Minghui will accuse him of being a traitor.

Zhang Anping's plan, though seemingly simple, was actually a death trap for Fang Minghui—since Fang Minghui had colluded with the Action Department to silence him, he wouldn't go to the Yankou Wharf to his death.

As long as the underground party issues a warning in advance, and the action department follows up with an attack, they can basically determine who betrayed them unless they are completely stupid—presenting the facts is more convincing than stating the facts.

Wu Liwei finally accepted Zhang Anping's entire plan. After a moment of silence, he asked:
"So, how do we fight now?"

Zhang Anping glanced at Wu Liwei and said, "Go ahead and attack me!"

As an operative, Wu Liwei felt ashamed that Zhang Anping had raided his home, much like a scout had his hideout raided. He was furious and, without hesitation, suddenly attacked when Zhang Anping said that.

The blade, as thin as paper, drew an eerie silver streak under the dim light of the oil lamp.

But the silver light abruptly stopped a second later, and then a hand chopped down on Wu Liwei's neck. Wu Liwei's eyes widened in disbelief, but the next second, darkness descended, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

It wasn't until Wu Liwei collapsed that Cen Anyan, who was standing nearby, finally reacted.

Old Cen's condition is as follows:
Zhang Anping and Wu Liwei talked, and he secretly kept analyzing, analyzing, and analyzing again, constantly imagining the scene Zhang Anping described—then, then Wu Liwei suddenly attacked, and then, Wu Liwei fainted.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

He stared blankly at Zhang Anping, his eyes filled with a clear naiveté...

Did you knock him out?
Zhang Anping quickly said, "In the current situation, he can cover for Fang Minghui—let's go, there are about eight minutes left, it's time for the cargo ship to send the signal. If there's no light signal, someone will come soon!"

After saying that, he stood up and pulled Old Cen with his gloved hand. Old Cen was pulled up, still looking a little bewildered.

If he remembers correctly, Zhang Anping didn't discuss with Wu Liwei how to cover it up, did he?

Watching Zhang Anping's retreating figure, Lao Cen temporarily suppressed his doubts.

……

The cargo ship where Wu Liwei was staying needed to send out a safety signal every hour using a kerosene lamp. Zhang Anping had already noticed this while monitoring the ship, which is why he arrived at the right time.

Not long after he and Lao Cen left the cargo ship in the dark, the kidnappers, who had not received a signal from the cargo ship, immediately pounced on them.

To be precise, an armed squad patrolled the area to provide cover, while two action teams boarded the ship armed with guns.

"He was knocked unconscious—there was a faint strange smell around him, probably ether."

"The ones over here have also been knocked unconscious!"

The kidnapper who led the group in had a grim expression:
"Keep searching!"

The cargo ship wasn't large, and the kidnappers quickly finished searching it.

"All seven people on the ship were knocked unconscious. Except for Lao Wu, they were all passively inhaled ether after being knocked unconscious."

"Old Wu was knocked unconscious in the basement. He... was probably knocked unconscious after he suddenly attacked the attacker during a conversation. His usual razor blade was lying carelessly on the ground, and there were no other people's fingerprints on it."

One of the kidnappers gave a professional report on the scene. After the report, he asked, "Should we wake Lao Wu up?"

"Wait a minute—" The kidnappers who led the team onto the ship dared not make a decision. Wu Liwei was guarding Cen Anyan, who was the key bargaining chip for the upcoming transaction. Now that the man was gone, they had to wait for Fang Minghui to make a decision.

Fang Minghui quickly appeared on the ship and received a similar report. Shocked and furious, Fang Minghui went straight to the lower deck with a grim face. Facing a table of messy leftovers and the unconscious Wu Liwei, he quickly simulated the scene in his mind:

The opponent was sitting opposite Wu Liwei. It's unclear why Wu Liwei suddenly attacked, but the opponent easily blocked Wu Liwei's usual killing move and easily knocked Wu Liwei unconscious by striking his neck with a hammer.

To knock someone unconscious by striking their neck, the attack is usually performed from the side and rear at a 45-degree angle. The force and angle must be carefully controlled. If it is too light, it will only cause pain or dizziness. If it is hit, it can cause blood vessels to rupture or cervical vertebrae to fracture.

The fact that the opponent was able to knock Wu Liwei unconscious with a heavy blow to the neck from the front shows that he is an absolute master!
"Splash him awake!"

Fang Minghui gave the order with a gloomy face.

A glass of cold water was splashed on Wu Liwei. Upon waking, Wu Liwei seemed to immediately recall the previous scene, instantly adopting a fighting stance. Only then did he realize that he was surrounded by his companions, and a brief look of confusion crossed his eyes. After that, he realized something and immediately lowered his head in utter shame.
"Old Fang...I..."

His mind raced, and he quickly came up with an explanation.

Fang Minghui keenly noticed the confusion in Wu Liwei's eyes, and seeing Wu Liwei lower his head in shame, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What...what happened?!"

“It’s an underground party member, he… he’s infiltrated this place.” Wu Liwei’s face was grim. “He’s a master. I launched a sudden attack, but he easily parried and knocked me unconscious.”

"anything else?"

"I...I was having dinner with Cen Anyan," Wu Liwei said, glancing somewhat ashamedly at Fang Minghui.

"That person sneaked in and then told me..."

Fang Minghui looked at Wu Liwei with displeasure: "What did you say?"

"He said that Zheng Yaoxian, who was dealing with us, wanted to wipe us out in one fell swoop. He said he had a way to get us out of here, but he wanted... money. When I was just playing along with him, he suddenly attacked, but the result was..."

Wu Liwei shut up in utter shame.

Upon hearing this, Fang Minghui closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Was Zheng Yaoxian the one who made the deal with them?
After thinking it over, he felt that this was reasonable and could even guess Mao Renfeng's psychology in arranging Zheng Yaoxian's case, as well as Zheng Yaoxian's desire to capture them all in one fell swoop.

So, is this person really a member of the underground Communist Party?
Being obsessed with money, looks like a member of the underground Communist Party.

So, will the underground party discover their plan?
The fact that they knew Zheng Yaoxian was the one making the deal with them meant that they must have a high-ranking mole among Zheng Yaoxian's people. But Shen Zui had absolutely no connection with Zheng Yaoxian, so he probably didn't realize that his plan was being carried out.

At this moment, Wu Liwei spoke again: "Old Fang, I... I'm sorry everyone. This is my dereliction of duty, and I'm willing to take full responsibility."

"Old Wu, this isn't your fault—but we must pay attention to this information leaked by the underground party. Notify the armed team to immediately begin reconnaissance and surveillance in the vicinity!"

Fang Minghui decisively gave the order, and after the order was relayed, someone asked in confusion:
Why did the underground Communist Party save us?

The reason for using the word "rescue" is that the other party could have easily slit the throats of all seven people, including Wu Liwei, but instead did not do so and instead leaked the information.

This is a very clear example of "saving".

Fang Minghui speculated, "They probably want to keep us around to continue drawing the Secret Service's attention—it seems they want to take the opportunity to transfer the money out!"

Wu Liwei looked angry but didn't say anything, though a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He had not communicated with the mysterious underground party member about the pretext, but the other party seemed to have anticipated that he would say such a thing.

This is as if the other party has calculated everything about me perfectly—which must be based on the other party having thoroughly investigated me.

Wu Liwei suddenly said, "Old Fang, an underground party member, how did he manage to get here—I suspect something's fishy!"

"No—it's not necessarily a ghost; it's possible that the underground party's intelligence capabilities are beyond imagination."

Fang Minghui said in a deep voice, "After Cen Anyan came over, I secretly investigated him, and our brothers are absolutely fine!"

Fang Minghui actually suspected there was a mole, but it didn't matter to him, it didn't matter at all, because whether there was a mole or not, they would all end up as dead or prisoners of the Secret Service.

But this statement inexplicably stirred the blood of the kidnappers in the hold. A superior who trusted them—no, a boss who trusted them—that was wonderful.

At this moment, a kidnapper hurriedly rushed into the warehouse:
"The armed squad has sent out light signals. There's unusual activity nearby. It seems like some force is about to set up an ambush!"

We really need to catch them all!
Fang Minghui remained calm: "Immediately notify the brothers to evacuate to Yankou Wharf in groups according to the established plan!"

"Yes!"

Only Wu Liwei's eyes flickered, but no one noticed.

……

After Cen Anyan changed into the clothes that Zhang Anping had prepared for him by the river, he instinctively wanted to scold him, but Zhang Anping made a shushing gesture.

He muttered to himself, "What perfect timing..."

Cen Anyan's expression tightened. Zheng Yaoxian's men?
No, why am I nervous... No, I really should be nervous. Comrade Yaoxian should be in Nanjing. It's impossible for him to be leading the team. Then his men are the enemy!

"Don't panic, just follow me."

Zhang Anping wasn't too nervous. The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics had moved, and most of its personnel had been withdrawn to Nanjing. Zheng Yaoxian didn't have many loyal followers in Chongqing, so setting up an ambush would require finding all sorts of ragtag groups. Threat level: 0!

Under his guidance, after many twists and turns, the two moved away from the riverbank and temporarily hid on a reverse slope. By the moonlight, they saw a group of people sneaking around and making cover.

"Old Cen, you've suffered!"

Zhang Anping finally spoke the words he had been holding back for a long time.

Cen Anyan shook his head, then finally said what he had been holding back for a long time: "You shouldn't have taken such a risk!"

"This is called redeeming oneself through meritorious service."

Cen Anyan said solemnly:

"You can't have this..."

Zhang Anping quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, I was wrong—I was just joking. Actually, I have everything under control, haha. I'll tell you the details later. You should try to get to Wusheng County first; our comrades will be there to meet you."

"Are you going to Yankou Wharf?"

"I have to go. I've mobilized quite a few comrades. Without me in charge, we'd be a disorganized mess." Zhang Anping never gave himself away when he lied.

Sure enough, Old Cen didn't think much of it. He wasn't good at taking action and knew that if he went, he would only be a hindrance, so he said:
"Be safe!"

"Don't worry while I do the work."

After Zhang Anping finished speaking, he added, "When you see your sister-in-law later, you have to put in a good word for me, okay?"

Zhang Anping said this because he was certain that after Lao Cen was arrested, Chai Ying returned to Chongqing and sent Zhang Anping several signals to meet secretly, but Zhang Anping ignored them all.

Because Chai Ying temporarily took over the comrades, including Lao Yang, and issued the decision to abandon the rescue operation—the Second Intelligence Group was ostensibly in charge of Lao Cen, and Chai Ying, who had urgently replaced Lao Cen, was theoretically able to command Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping simply burys his head in the sand; it's likely that Chai Ying has scolded him quite a bit for being disorganized and undisciplined.

After he finished speaking, he left without waiting for Lao Cen's reply—he was going to take charge of "a number of comrades," well, that is, Lin Nansheng alone.

Cen Anyan realized the reason why Zhang Anping said that, and he felt no annoyance towards Chai Ying. Chai Ying's decision was the kind of decision that a true underground party member should make at a critical moment. On the contrary, Zhang Anping's actions were the opposite.

If it were him, he would undoubtedly make the same decision.

Although very cruel.

But this is the hidden front, a hidden front that cannot tolerate indecisiveness or being a nice guy.

Cen Anyan shook his head. Anping's actions always conflicted with common sense about the hidden front, but in the end, he was always right.

What an oddball!

After shaking his head helplessly, Cen Anyan turned and disappeared into the darkness. As he walked, he suddenly remembered something and murmured to himself:

"I forgot to tell Anping about the pills."

However, Cen Anyan did not consider this a big deal. (End of Chapter)
