Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 845 Weakness

The Bureau of Secrecy, its headquarters.

Behind the glass of the interrogation room.

Through the one-way glass, Zhang Anping stared intently at Li Bohan, who was hanging up.

He's in!
In fact, his entry into the game was not beyond Mao Renfeng's expectations - many people in Zhang's faction were willing to follow Zhang Anping to the death, just because Zhang Anping would not easily give up on anyone.
In the interrogation room, Mao Renfeng walked up to Li Bohan:

“Bohan, I didn’t want things to get so bloody, but… I really don’t understand why you reported to me at that crucial moment that Jiang Si’an was deliberately getting close to my wife?”

“You’re a smart man. You should understand that if you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, you won’t be leaving here.”

Li Bohan's hands were suspended in a sling, with only his toes touching the ground. He tried his best to use his toes to reduce the weight on his hands, and then said pitifully:

"Director, I accidentally discovered that Jiang Si'an was meeting with Madam. Jiang Si'an is Zhang Anping's prized student. It was too unusual for him to meet with Madam, so I suspected there was something wrong and that's why I followed him a few times."

"Director, I am truly loyal to you!"

Faced with Li Bohan's pitiful pleas for mercy and declarations of loyalty, Mao Renfeng laughed hysterically.

After laughing, he said meaningfully:

"Bohan, you know this isn't what I want to know!"

Why did Mao Renfeng take action against Li Bohan?

First, Li Bohan is a "traitor." As a spy who defected from Zhang's faction, Zhang Anping has no reason to stand up for Li Bohan. If he did, it would prove that Zhang Anping deliberately planted a mole in front of him. If this matter were taken seriously, Mao Renfeng would be in the right!
Secondly, why would Li Bohan, as Zhang Anping's mole, "pass on" information to him about Jiang Si'an's deliberate approach to Xiang Yingxin? At the time, it seemed to be to gain more of his trust, but after Jiang Si'an's identity was exposed, this becomes quite intriguing!
Of course, Mao Renfeng knew very well that Li Bohan had definitely been used by Jiang Si'an!
However, the truth is not really important; what is important is that he needs Zhang Anping to stand up and protect Li Bohan!

That's right, his plan was to get Zhang Anping to protect Li Bohan!
As long as Zhang Anping protects Li Bohan, regardless of the truth, he can create a false impression:
The claim that my wife is a communist sympathizer is a deliberate frame-up by some "thieves"!
The reason is simple: Li Bohan had come over to him earlier and said:
Jiang Si'an is secretly getting close to the Madam!

Jiang Si'an is a Communist, but as Zhang Anping's undercover agent, Li Bohan secretly revealed to him that Jiang Si'an was getting close to the "Madam"—which means that everything is under Zhang Anping's control, and the purpose is to make the "Madam" have an unclear connection with Jiang Si'an.

As for why he still fell victim to the virus despite Li Bohan's warning, there's no need to explain further—it was simply because he underestimated Zhang Anping's ruthlessness.

Look, what a perfect closed loop.

How could Li Bohan not understand the deeper meaning in Mao Renfeng's words?
However, he could not sell Zhang Anping.

So Li Bohan continued to protest: "Director, I am truly innocent! If I were Jiang Si'an's accomplice, how could I not have run away after I found out he was a Communist? Director, you are wise!"

After hearing this, Mao Renfeng smiled slightly, her gaze fixed on the "mirror" in the interrogation room, as if looking at herself, but actually speaking to Zhang Anping:

The show is about to begin!

"Bohan, then don't blame me for being ruthless—" Mao Renfeng winked at the agents in the interrogation room, indicating that the interrogation was about to begin!

Zhang Anping's expression behind the mirror didn't change much, but the coldness in his eyes deepened.

He cannot intervene at this time.

From his current perspective, he needs to "figure out" one thing:

Why would Li Bohan, as his own undercover agent, reveal to Mao Renfeng that Jiang Si'an was secretly getting close to Xiang Yingxin?

If Li Bohan still lives up to my trust, he shouldn't have betrayed me without my orders!

Therefore, there are two possibilities:
Either Li Bohan chose true betrayal, or Li Bohan was misled by Jiang Si'an—but Zhang Anping must figure it out!
This is one of the reasons why he had to get involved.

Of course, the truth is that Jiang Si'an falsely conveyed Zhang Anping's orders, and because of her special status, Li Bohan did not suspect that the orders were fake.

But Zhang Anping "didn't know," so he had to get involved and figure it out.

This was actually the only way out that Zhang Anping had designed for Li Bohan—as long as Li Bohan could withstand the current torture, this way out would be presented to him.

Regardless of who Li Bohan was in the original timeline, in this timeline, as Zhang Anping's student, he was worthy of his identity as a Chinese soldier during the War of Resistance. As his teacher, it was only natural for Zhang Anping to find a way for him to survive!

The horrific torture began right under Zhang Anping's nose.

Zhang Anping didn't react much, but the coldness in his eyes grew stronger until it reached a breaking point. Zhang Anping "couldn't hold back any longer," and angrily got up, went out, and kicked open the door to the interrogation room.

As he kicked open the door to the interrogation room, the agent who was working on him instinctively stopped, then began to tremble involuntarily.

Oh no, it's a battle of the gods!

Mao Renfeng, who had been sitting indifferently staring at Li Bohan, couldn't suppress a smile when she saw the door being kicked open.

Haha, after racking my brains for the past three days, I've finally found the right direction!

Treating your soldiers like your own children is your fatal flaw, Zhang Anping!

Li Bohan, who was enduring immense pain, vaguely saw Zhang Anping kick the door open and enter. His throat moved, but he couldn't utter the word "teacher".

"enough!"

Zhang Anping, like a block of ice frozen for tens of thousands of years, coldly stared at Mao Renfeng: "What do you want?"

"Deputy Director Zhang, please calm down, please calm down." Mao Renfeng smiled.

"The matter must be investigated thoroughly. We've already had one Jiang Si'an; our Security Bureau can't afford to have a second one like him! What do you say, Deputy Director Zhang?"

After giving Mao Renfeng a deep look, Zhang Anping sat down next to her with anger.
"Get out!"

The shout was directed at Mao Renfeng, but Mao Renfeng remained unmoved. The agents in charge of interrogation in the interrogation room, however, were as if they had been granted a pardon and rushed out in a hurry, closing the door behind them.

Zhang Anping suddenly stood up again, bent down and picked up the stool. Mao Renfeng's heart tightened, thinking, "Would this guy actually attack me?"
He gritted his teeth and refused to run away. "You, Zhang, if you hit me today, I won't utter a sound. Go ahead and hit me!"

Zhang Anping did not let Mao Renfeng get what she wanted. Instead, he swung a stool and smashed the working tape recorder.

After smashing it, Zhang Anping sat down again, took a deep breath, and asked:
"Bohan, why did you tell that guy surnamed Mao?"

"Tell the truth!"

Li Bohan looked at Zhang Anping with difficulty, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say with difficulty, "Vice President Zhang..."

Zhang Anping corrected: "Call me teacher!"

Li Bohan paled, while Mao Renfeng, standing beside Zhang Anping, revealed a smug smile.

You, Zhang Anping, have defied the world and admitted it, haven't you?

There are some things that can be done but not said—many people do them, but if you put them on the table, you're making a big mistake.

This is how you plant spies among your colleagues.

At this moment, Zhang Anping's words undoubtedly admitted to the matter. Although he destroyed the tape recorder, an admission is an admission!
Li Bohan was deeply moved. Teacher... never gives up on anyone easily!
If someone else had done this, silencing them would have been the obvious choice!

Only teachers never let any student down.

"Teacher, I... I was incompetent. I didn't realize that Jiang Si'an was deliberately deceiving me. I... I thought it was your order."

After finishing his sentence, Li Bohan lowered his head, utterly dejected.

During his time in Shanghai, he moved among the Japanese, and although he did not become Okamoto Heiji like Jiang Si'an, he was a guest of honor among countless Japanese business, political, military, and intelligence dignitaries, and obtained countless intelligence reports.

He was an arrogant person to begin with, and with such merits, he thought he was no less than others, but he never expected to be completely fooled by Jiang Si'an.

If it were any other boss, they would have silenced him by now!

But his teacher was willing to bear the criticism to save him, which was really hard for the usually arrogant boy to face.

"madness!"

Zhang Anping scolded him angrily, but seeing Li Bohan's miserable state, he softened. He turned to Mao Renfeng and said, word by word:

"This result, is it acceptable? No! It's not acceptable!"

Mao Renfeng revealed a sincere smile—he didn't expect his cunning to fool Zhang Anping, but this was an open scheme. Unless Zhang Anping truly didn't care about Li Bohan's life or death, Mao Renfeng was the winner from the moment he came up with this plan!

Zhang Anping's behavior undoubtedly showed that he saw through his intentions, yet he still entered the game.

All I can say is that he found this weakness perfectly!
Mao Renfeng praised, "Deputy Director Zhang, what a noble character! Truly a noble character!"

"No wonder his subordinates were all willing to die for him, and Bohan even gave up a high-ranking official position that was within his grasp, willingly becoming a treacherous villain."

In the end, he was still trying to sow discord between Zhang Anping and Li Bohan. Of course, he didn't know if it would be useful or not, but saying one more word wouldn't hurt them.

Zhang Anping stared intently at Mao Renfeng, a murderous glint in his eyes. Mao Renfeng felt a little guilty under his gaze, but still forced herself to meet Zhang Anping's gaze. Zhang Anping didn't utter any harsh words, but instead got up to rescue Li Bohan.

At this moment, Li Bohan was covered in blood, but Zhang Anping, who was wearing a straight, brand-new general's uniform, helped him up without any disgust.

“Teacher, student, student…” Li Bohan choked up and couldn’t speak.

Zhang Anping patted him gently without saying a word.

Mao Renfeng remained seated, watching Zhang Anping help Li Bohan leave, a smug look on her face.

Zhang Anping, Zhang Anping, this is just... the very beginning!

Zhang Anping, supporting Li Bohan, had just stepped out of the interrogation room when the telephone inside rang. Mao Renfeng answered the phone:
"I am Mao Renfeng."

A voice of delighted surprise came through the phone:
"Chief, we've got them! We've got them! Seven men, two were killed, and the remaining five have all been captured!"

"Caught?!"

Mao Renfeng jumped to his feet, followed by uncontrollable bursts of laughter.

[Wang Tianfeng, do you even know the saying—a bad teammate is more terrifying than a god-like enemy!]

"Don't come yet! Wait for me!"

After hanging up the phone, Mao Renfeng rushed out of the interrogation room and shouted to Zhang Anping:
"Deputy Director Zhang! Wait a minute!"

Zhang Anping stopped and turned back to look coldly at Mao Renfeng.

Mao Renfeng straightened his military uniform and said slowly:
"Deputy Director Zhang, shall I show you a good show?"

Zhang Anping's response was just one word:

"put!"

When can the prefix "放" be used?

It's that kind of "qi" (vital energy).

Mao Renfeng's lips twitched, then he smiled again: "Just now, unidentified armed men attacked the Municipal Mental Hospital, trying to kidnap my wife—Deputy Director Zhang, would you be willing to accompany me to find out what happened?"

"Isn't there a rumor that my wife is a communist sympathizer? I suspect this is a rescue operation by the Communist Party. Doesn't Deputy Director Zhang want to find out for sure?"

As Mao Renfeng recounted her story, Zhang Anping's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice:

"Those were the men I sent out!"

hiss--

Mao Renfeng gasped.

Zhang Anping, you're really willing to take the blame for anything to protect your own!

Mao Renfeng knew very well that with Zhang Anping's intelligence, he had already guessed who the "unidentified armed personnel" were before she had even finished speaking.

Zhang Anping took the blame without hesitation!

[If I had known this would happen, I would have targeted the people around him when I dealt with him before—how could I have overlooked such a huge weakness?]

"Fine, fine, fine!" Mao Renfeng gritted her teeth and looked at Zhang Anping. Since you dare to take the blame for such a huge mess, then we'll see!
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Now that I have two more "weak points" against Zhang Anping, I must strike first.

We can't let Zhang Anping deflect the attack before it's even thrust out, like before.

This time, absolutely not!
After Mao Renfeng left, Zhang Anping continued to support Li Bohan, but Li Bohan knew that the situation was urgent—he didn't know what had happened, but from the teacher's heavy footsteps, he realized that something was wrong.

"Teacher, just arrange for someone to take me. You...you should go ahead and do your work."

Zhang Anping shook his head: "The sky won't fall down."

Li Bohan couldn't hold back any longer: "Teacher, you...you just love us too much. You shouldn't have admitted it just now!"

"I...you don't need to save me!"

Zhang Anping gently patted Li Bohan without saying a word, but simply supported him until the driver rushed over. Only then did Zhang Anping put Li Bohan in the car and arrange for the driver to take him to the hospital.

He then returned to his office with heavy steps.

Sure enough, Wang Tianfeng was already waiting in his office, and Xu Baichuan was also there.

As soon as he entered, Xu Baichuan took the initiative to say:

"Anping, I'm short-staffed. Instead of transferring people, I'm thinking of having Lao Wang come and help me out. What do you think?"

Clearly, Xu Baichuan also knew what kind of trouble Wang Tianfeng had gotten into.

Wang Tianfeng remained silent, his expression gloomy.

Zhang Anping glanced at Wang Tianfeng and then said slowly:

"I told the man surnamed Mao—this is the person I sent out!"

Xu Baichuan was taken aback, while Wang Tianfeng immediately stood up: "You shouldn't take the blame for this!"

"Enough—" Zhang Anping glared at Wang Tianfeng and said angrily, "Then what am I supposed to do?"

"Should we hand over the intelligence department?"

The Operations Division and the Intelligence Division are the two sharpest weapons of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Shen Zui, the leader of the Action Department, has returned to Zhang Anping's embrace as a fence-sitter. However, Mao Renfeng's men in the Action Department can still restrain Shen Zui.

But the intelligence department is different. Wang Tianfeng has always been in charge of the intelligence department, and it is impenetrable here—Zhang Anping protecting Wang Tianfeng is protecting the intelligence department.

Of course, he was "struggling to survive".

However, the persona that should be maintained must be upheld.

Wang Tianfeng did not answer, or rather, he would not answer—ultimately, it was his stubbornness that led him into Mao Renfeng's trap.

After a long while, Wang Tianfeng said:

Can this impasse be broken?

Zhang Anping did not answer, but continued to ponder.

Seeing this, Wang Tianfeng said, "We can't play this card with Xiang Yingxin."

Zhang Anping angrily retorted, "You still want to fight?"

Wang Tianfeng said, "Mao Renfeng arranged for her to undergo surgery—a lobotomy."

hiss--

Now it was Zhang Anping's turn to gasp in surprise.

They drilled a hole in the skull and used instruments to destroy the frontal lobe.
