Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

When the Military Intelligence Bureau was still a ten-person team, it had dealt with the underground party. During the Secret Investigation Team and the Special Service Department, at least half of its energy was devoted to the underground party.

Even after the nationwide War of Resistance against Japan began and the Special Service Department was reorganized into the Military Intelligence Bureau, this situation did not change due to the circumstances—the Military Intelligence Bureau still devoted at least one-third of its energy to dealing with the underground Communist Party.

Of course, it wasn't that the Military Intelligence Bureau was showing mercy, because they still needed to focus their efforts on making money.

Therefore, it can be said that these scum, who came from secret service agencies, had some degree of blood feud with the underground party.

And just a few days earlier, they had also betrayed the underground Communist Party!

In this situation, how did the underground party manage to save them?
This made these people extremely suspicious—and as former spies, they were prepared to turn on each other at any time if they had doubts.

However, when Wu Liwei brought the underground party members over, their mindset calmed down.

Because only two people came, not an armed guerrilla team.

"Just two people? The underground party members are really... bold!"

They didn't believe that two people had come to their rescue, so when faced with only two people, they thought it was a sign of the underground party's sincerity—and thinking back to how they had been prepared to turn on each other at any moment, they felt rather embarrassed by their own petty suspicions.

After Zhang Anping arrived with Wu Liwei, his gaze swept over the group of people.

He had detailed information about everyone in his mind, and after going through the memories again, he sighed inwardly.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, each of these men was a man of unwavering integrity, and each of them endured the terror created by the Japanese and their collaborators!
Wu Liwei stood sullenly to the side, leaving Zhang Anping to face the crowd. Zhang Anping was not intimidated. After coughing, he asked, "Everyone, have you thought about what's next?"

What's next?
These people, incited by Fang Minghui, took out the severance pay given to them by the Military Intelligence Bureau, purchased weapons, and carefully prepared a kidnapping plan, trying to snatch meat from the mouths of the gluttons—but now the result is that they have lost everything, their severance pay has been completely wasted, and they have ended up with a lot of trouble.

"In this world, as long as you have guns, you won't starve, right? — What, do you underground party members want to recruit us?"

An Lihui revealed a mocking smile, clearly not thinking highly of Zhang Anping as the persuader.

To reiterate, each of them has more or less been stained with the blood of the underground party. Perhaps the underground party would genuinely accept them, but having been abandoned by the Kuomintang and betrayed by Fang Minghui, would they still easily trust them?
Zhang Anping naturally understood the concerns of these "discarded pawns" represented by An Lihui.

He asked quietly, "Why did you join the Military Intelligence Bureau in the first place?"

A rhetorical question silenced everyone.

Why did you join the Military Intelligence Bureau?
Yes, it was because the Japanese devils were trampling on Chinese soil, and the Chinese nation was truly on the verge of extinction!

"We won the War of Resistance, but the good days for the Chinese people have not yet arrived." Zhang Anping said softly to this group of silent traitors:
"Ignoring your stance, when you joined the Military Intelligence Bureau with the determination to die, didn't you ever think about protecting your country?"

"Don't you ever think about enabling your people to live a better life?"

The abandoned children were even more speechless.

There's none?
Have!
How could it not be!

If not, they wouldn't have joined the Military Intelligence Bureau—if they were cowardly and afraid of death, they would have changed their ways and stood on the opposite side of the Chinese people long ago during the eight arduous and protracted War of Resistance against Japan!
But they didn't!
Not only did they not, they also ignored all sorts of temptations from traitors and Japanese invaders.

When did they begin to become numb?
They couldn't remember, perhaps because their superiors ignored the lives of the people, or perhaps because they were used to the darkness...

"Since you dared to attack these gluttons, you must know about their insatiable greed and their sordid past—are they just a small group?"

Zhang Anping asked again, and the abandoned pawns fell silent once more.

The gluttons are not a small group. After the victory of the War of Resistance, those in power in the Nationalist government were all trying to monetize their power. The gluttons were just... the ones who ate the most!
"You who were once so passionate and fervent, if you become outlaws, and the weapons you once used to kill the enemy begin to exploit the people you once protected, you..."

"Are you willing?"

"Are you willing?!"

Two rhetorical questions left the abandoned soldiers disheartened. They had once been warriors who risked their lives for their country, but now they had nowhere to go. Becoming bandits was their only way out, but if they became bandits...

Then they have to exploit the ordinary people who live humbly and strugglingly in this world!

"say no more!"

You Haoxiang suddenly roared, "Shut up!"

Zhang Anping calmly looked at the distraught You Haoxiang, his mind filled with information about him.

When the Military Intelligence Bureau was reorganized, You Haoxiang was one of the first agents to be included on the list.

The reason is simple: he had previously reported his superior.

You Haoxiang once believed that the fairness spoken of by his superiors was true fairness, and that agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau relied on ability, not flattery.

Therefore, he paid the price for his "assumptions".

He learned from his mistakes and corrected his past bad habits, but ended up trusting Fang Minghui—he was already prepared to become an outlaw, but at this moment Zhang Anping reopened his wounds, causing him excruciating pain.

"Either you trust us, or you become outlaws. These are your only two choices now."

Zhang Anping gazed sincerely at the abandoned pawns and slowly said:

"If you can rediscover your original intentions, we believe you will definitely not be disappointed—this world is bound to change, don't you think?"

"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions. If you are ultimately assimilated by this corrupt world, then we will not force you—please leave with peace of mind!"

In the eyes of these abandoned comrades, the arrival of these two members of the underground party was a sign of their utmost sincerity.

Abandoned by the Military Intelligence Bureau and betrayed by Fang Minghui, they dared not easily trust again. However, the other party's sincerity rekindled their past, and many were moved. But because no one took the lead, they remained silent.

An Lihui broke the silence: "Won't you also treat us as... pawns to be discarded?"

“We are different from them!” Zhang Anping said without hesitation. “Moreover, we will give you ample time to understand and get to know us. If you have any thoughts of leaving during this period, please rest assured that our comrades will absolutely not make things difficult for you—you were once outstanding agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau, so you should know a little about us, right?”

Zhang Anping's answer completely reassured many people, proving that the underground party's reputation in this regard was indeed impeccable.

But some people were uneasy. One person said, "A few days ago, I led people from the military and the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to arrest one of your people. Will I be purged?"

Chen Shugen!
Chen Shugen was the underground party member who was arrested at Xiangguomen Wharf. He was the one who led the secret service personnel to identify and arrest him.

Zhang Anping took a deep breath:

“This is a historical issue—I can assure you that you won’t be treated differently because of this, but you also need to be honest and not hide anything out of fear of being held accountable. Do you understand what I mean?”

This is also the consistent approach of the underground party to those who surrender. Only those who have committed heinous crimes will be tried. Although this person's situation is despicable, he was ultimately acting under orders.

"I understand."

Zhang Anping looked at the others: "Any more questions?"

The group of abandoned pawns shook their heads.

"I'll tell you a place, go there, the guerrillas will contact you."

Zhang Anping was pressed for time; he had to rush to Chengkou County, so he naturally couldn't take these people with him.

Wu Liwei and the others had no objections. After exchanging contact information, Zhang Anping led Lin Nansheng, who had been standing there like a wooden statue, away. Once they were out of the area, Lin Nansheng could no longer suppress the questions in his mind:
"Teacher, there's something I don't understand."

"You said."

"Aren't you valuing them too much?"

While he was with these Kuomintang agents, Lin Nansheng was on edge, fearing that they might suddenly turn on him. Zhang Anping must have known about this risk, but he still came. Was he placing too much importance on these people?

"During the War of Resistance Against Japan, they all fought against the Japanese invaders with unwavering faith."

Lin Nansheng frowned. Zhang Anping had said the same thing earlier, but even so, Zhang Anping was still too risky—or even too idealistic!
He didn't hide his emotions, which Zhang Anping naturally noticed at a glance. He smiled and said:
"There's another very important point—how should we deal with the large number of secret agents of the Nationalist government in the future?"

The reorganization of the Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) eliminated tens of thousands of spies, and the current number of its entire intelligence network is still less than the number of official members during the War of Resistance against Japan. However, starting next year, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (BIS) will inevitably expand rapidly again.

A large number of spies will emerge from this, so how should we deal with them?

Lin Nansheng was shocked by the teacher's gaze. The teacher was thinking so far ahead.

"But... this isn't worth the risk!" "The darkness before dawn is often the hardest to endure."

Zhang Anping said, "There's one more thing! Because of their special nature, intelligence agencies are extremely suspicious of our attempts to win them over. They also possess hidden sabotage capabilities and hold the lives of our arrested comrades in their hands. So how can we quickly and effectively persuade them to abandon their evil ways and join the light?"

Lin Nansheng looked at Zhang Anping in shock. Did the teacher think that far ahead?

He had to admit that Zhang Anping's considerations were indeed reasonable. The secret service had the blood of underground party comrades on its hands, including some die-hards, but many others were passively involved.

However, these people would inevitably be wary of their blood debts and would not dare to surrender easily.

Their reckless and self-destructive behavior will inevitably lead to significant losses.

They wouldn't easily believe the underground party's assurances, but what if it was a group of lobbyists from the Military Intelligence Bureau?
Lin Nansheng finally understood the reason for Zhang Anping's risky actions. On one hand, he admired Zhang Anping's vision, and on the other hand, he thought of the exciting outcome. He murmured:
"Teacher, how long will it take us to achieve a complete victory?"

"Twenty years? Ten years?"

He seemed somewhat dazed, as if he saw a scene of light enveloping the entire country of China—but how long would it take for such a beautiful scene to last?

More than three years, can you believe it!

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "It could be ten years, or it could be five years—or it could be even sooner."

But that day will come very soon!

……

After leaving Yankou, the two boarded a pre-arranged boat halfway there and headed straight for Wanxian.

The waterway from Yankou to Wanxian requires a transfer to the Yangtze River route at Fuling halfway through. Because it is upstream, it usually takes boatmen about two days. However, Zhang Anping hired an experienced boatman, and the boat risked traveling at night, arriving in Wanxian by the evening of the next day.

The two then used the car they had prepared in Wanxian and headed straight for Kaixian.

The time wasted in rescuing Lao Cen and recruiting these Kuomintang traitors was somewhat made up for through the old boatman's night voyage and Zhang Anping's extreme driving skills.

We will stop in Kaixian County halfway through the journey and continue by mules and horses – it is estimated that it will take another three days!
Decades later, driving from Yankou to Chengkou would only take seven hours, but in this era, under normal circumstances, it would take about ten days.

While Zhang Anping was traveling through wind and rain, a major event occurred at the Chongqing headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Morgue.

Several corpses covered with white sheets were piled up inside, when one of the corpses suddenly stirred.

It is normal for a corpse to move, and some corpses may even make groaning sounds—this is a normal phenomenon caused by the gas produced by bacteria decomposing internal organs, which compresses the lungs or vocal cords.

The old man guarding the morgue was used to this, but this time the commotion was unusual; the corpse suddenly sat up.

The old man guarding the morgue was taken aback: "Huh? I don't remember any of these bodies being waterlogged, do I?"

He approached the sitting corpse to see what was wrong, but the corpse suddenly opened its eyes and muttered to itself:
"Am I dead?"

The old man, who had been puzzled, was finally terrified by this muttering to himself. After a scream, he ran away as fast as he could.

The scream alerted several secret agents, who surrounded him. The still-shaken old man pointed to the morgue and said, trembling:
"It's...it's...it's come back to life!"

Having seen corpses and death so often, the spies had no reason to believe in the idea of ​​a zombie coming back to life. So, a few of them went to the morgue to find out for themselves.

What they saw almost scared them to death—Fang Minghui, who was as dead as could be, was standing weakly in the morgue, staring at them.

Fang Minghui was lucky to survive, because the agents were not armed at headquarters, otherwise they would have been shot. But his fate was not much better. Several agents grabbed whatever they could get their hands on and started beating him. If someone hadn't noticed that Fang Minghui was still warm and breathing, he might have been beaten to death.

Beating up the "zombie" was the best way to eliminate fear. After a beating, the agents were no longer afraid. In addition, Fang Minghui, who was about to be beaten to death, was still breathing. They immediately realized that he was not dead.

An agent from the operations department exclaimed in surprise:

"Notify Director Shen immediately!"

They knew that Director Shen was being "dealt with" by Director Wang because of Fang Minghui's death and the failure of Yankou Wharf.

In Wang Tianfeng's office.

Shen Xiao smiled cautiously and said, "Old Wang, you have to help me this time, otherwise when Commander Zhang comes back, I... I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble!"

Shen Zui was also desperate. He thought of easing the siege, letting some people go, and taking down others.

This way, we can both complete the task and please Commander Zhang.

A perfect win-win situation!
But who would have thought that Fang Minghui would commit suicide by poisoning himself, and the arrest at the dock was ruined by "Fish" - if Shen Zui hadn't seen his subordinates beaten into pig heads by Fish with his own eyes, he would never have believed that anyone could use Fish as a hidden weapon to beat a group of professional agents into pig heads!

Wang Tianfeng gave Shen Zui a gloomy look:

"What good will come of it?"

"You...you're in big trouble!"

"Killing Fang Minghui and letting the kidnappers go—Anping won't kick him while he's down, but that Mao guy will definitely not let such a good opportunity pass!"

Shen hadn't expected this at all. To be precise, he thought that since he was a high-ranking official in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics who had pledged allegiance to Mao Renfeng, it was impossible for Mao to target him.

But after hearing what Wang Tianfeng said, he realized what was going on.

In Mao Renfeng's eyes, he was a traitor!
The reason Zhang Anping personally took charge of this kidnapping case was because someone wanted to pin the blame on him!
Now that he has made such a huge mess, Mao Renfeng might really use him as a sacrifice to deal with Zhang Anping.

After thinking it through, his face turned pale, and he muttered, "How come I didn't think of that?"

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he felt terrible.

Wang Tianfeng sighed. Shen Zui had wanted to become Mao Renfeng's disciple for the sake of his subordinates. He had tried to dissuade him, but he couldn't come up with a solution and could only let it be.

Now things are really messed up. If something happens, Shen Zui won't even have anyone to protect him!
Shen Zui hissed, "Old Wang, am I doomed?"

"Death is unlikely, but the operations department... I'm afraid..."

Shen Zui slumped on the sofa, remaining silent for a long time.

Once you've tasted power, who can easily give it up?
Not everyone is like Zhang Anping!
With a bitter laugh, Shen Zui said:
"I was stupid too. Why did I get involved in such a high-level game..."

Wang Tianfeng shook his head, about to speak, when the office door was suddenly kicked open.

The agent who broke down the door saw Wang Tianfeng frown and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly said:
"Fang Minghui—he's alive!"

Shen Zui was in a terrible mood, and upon hearing his subordinate's words, he immediately roared:

"Get out—I examined him myself, how could he be alive?"

"And it's been almost two days, it should be completely cold by now!"

Wang Tianfeng then said, "Explain yourself!"

"He's alive! He's really alive—he just came back to life in the morgue! We thought he was a ghost and almost beat him to death!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianfeng and Shen Zui exchanged a surprised and uncertain look.

Shen is a seasoned veteran. Although young, he is skilled in action and has personally killed countless Japanese soldiers. How could he not see through the feigned death?
Even feigned death doesn't last this long!
Facing Wang Tianfeng's gaze, Shen Zui emphasized, "I'm certain Fang Minghui died of cyanide poisoning! There's no way you could hide it from me!"

Wang Tianfeng murmured, "But he came back to life..."

"It's good that you're alive!" Shen Zui suddenly exclaimed with joy. "If I'm alive, who the hell would dare to try and silence me? Let's go check it out!"

Wang Tianfeng got up and followed closely.

"It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive," Shen Zui muttered as he walked quickly, "It's so good that you're alive. This time, even if you wanted to die, it wouldn't be so easy..."

A ruthless glint appeared on Shen Zui's face.

He wanted to teach Fang Minghui a lesson in torture! (End of Chapter)
