Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Zhang Anping usurped the position and spoke at length on the podium about "preventing communism," while Mao Renfeng was distracted and preoccupied throughout.

In this situation, the attendees were not too surprised—if it were them, with the situation so dire, they probably wouldn't be able to sit still.

Mao Zedong had a pretty good mental fortitude!

Despite the praise, the crushing defeat of the three factions combined and Zhang Anping's miraculous comeback left these warlords with some lingering doubts:
With all three systems seemingly invincible, how did they manage to collapse at the crucial moment?
Recalling Commander Zhang's past achievements, the warlords suddenly realized something:

Apart from the time when Commander Zhang felt frustrated after Boss Dai passed away, whether it was during the Military Intelligence Bureau era or the current situation where the three factions are surrounding the Zhang faction's Security Bureau, Commander Zhang has never suffered a major loss. Most of the time, it's because Commander Zhang is unwilling to fight among himself and would rather suffer losses than lose unity.

Upon thinking of this, their expressions towards Zhang Anping changed.

Commander Zhang is still the same Commander Zhang who never misses a beat!
Mao Renfeng had no time to care about what the people below were thinking; at that moment, only one sentence occupied his mind:

Let's sell that guy surnamed Zheng!
Zheng Yaoxian?
Or is it Zheng Yaoquan?
Only Zheng Yaoquan!
Mao Renfeng understood that no matter how much Zheng Yaoxian acted up, he was never a threat to Zhang Anping—Zheng Yaoxian's foundation was only in Henan Station. Although his influence had now expanded, he was still not a true powerhouse!

Therefore, it can only be Zheng Yaoquan.

He's aiming for the bureau chief position!

Mao Renfeng understood Zhang Anping's plan:

He wanted to use this opportunity to shift the blame onto Zheng Yaoquan and then expel him from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics!
does it work?
feasible!

His actions had essentially tied him to Zheng Yaoquan, meaning that if he betrayed Zheng Yaoquan, even without evidence, the blame could be pinned on Zheng Yaoquan.

If this matter is brought to light, Zheng Yaoquan will inevitably be eliminated.

What about yourself?

Mao Renfeng was weighing the pros and cons throughout the entire process.

If he didn't agree to cooperate with Zhang Anping, he definitely wouldn't be able to get past his own conscience;
Would you agree to cooperate with Zhang Anping?

Will he turn around and kill himself?
If it were up to him, given the chance, he would definitely choose to kill him—so he could only gamble on Zhang Anping's character.
Distracted, Mao Renfeng looked at Zhang Anping, who was performing on the stage the three of them had set up. After weighing the options in her mind again and again, she finally made a decision:

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood!

If I fail this time, there will be no hope left for me!

I'm betting on Zhang Anping's character!

……

The car sped along the road, and the occasional bumps would cause Zheng Yaoquan's body to lift slightly.

"You idiot, do you only drive where there are potholes? Stop the car!"

Zheng Yaoquan angrily berated the driver, who was startled by the unexpected disaster and instinctively slammed on the brakes, causing Zheng Yaoquan to crash headfirst into the front seat.

Zheng Yaoquan glared fiercely at the driver, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Just when the driver thought Zheng Yaoquan was about to fly into a rage, he calmed himself down:
"Don't brake so hard next time—I'm going out for some fresh air."

After saying that, he opened the car door himself, which was unusual for him, and tried his best to appear calm while suppressing his anger.

The driver breathed a sigh of relief; that was close!

The secretary hurriedly got out of the passenger seat and followed Zheng Yaoquan, who was walking with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face. He was pondering what to say when Zheng Yaoquan said quietly:

Replace him—

"He will be assigned to the prison directly under the Second Department."

The secretary felt a chill run down her spine, but had to maintain a normal tone:

"Yes."

Zheng Yaoquan wandered aimlessly, the frustration in his heart almost bursting him.

The stage was set up, all the equipment was prepared, and just as the grand performance was about to begin, the performers were changed!
Especially in front of all the lords of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

[Damn it! He did it on purpose! He did it intentionally! He's deliberately trying to damage my reputation!]

The key is……

Zhang Anping succeeded!
After this grand show is over, the various factions within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will probably never take Zheng Yaoquan seriously again!
Honestly, who wouldn't be afraid of Zhang Anping's control over the traffic police headquarters and his ability to turn the tide?
[Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!]

Zheng Yaoquan sighed softly. He shouldn't have acted impulsively. When Zhang Anping firmly rejected his "peace-making" proposal, he should have realized that the bastard must have countermeasures.

Well, not only did he not realize it, he stupidly revealed his hand.

It's like stretching out its neck to meet the guillotine!
"Seat!"

There was a sound coming from behind, but Zheng Yaoquan ignored it and continued walking on his own.

"Director, we can't just let this go—"

"If we back down this time, no one in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will take us seriously anymore—we must fight back resolutely!"

Should we retaliate?
Zheng Yaoquan originally intended to swallow his anger—he had just been reflecting on his mistakes.

He shouldn't have allied with Mao Renfeng and continued to sit on the sidelines and watch the two fight, acting as their referee. His own power would eventually take control of the situation, so there was no need for him to suddenly turn against Zhang Anping because of a momentary anger.

So he decided to back down.

But the word "counterattack" made his already determined heart, which had already decided to give up, jump up again.

He was the director, and also the director of the Second Bureau. It's no exaggeration to say that he was the big boss of the Nationalist government's intelligence circle!
However, he was actually tricked by Zhang Anping in front of so many people!
If we don't fight back, how will our subordinates perceive us?

If we don't fight back, and our influence expands in the future, will those people join our ranks?

Zheng Yaoquan stopped, turned around and asked, "Seventh Brother, what do you think we should do in retaliation?"

The one who just made the suggestion was Zheng Yaoxian!
"Chief, let's start with the intelligence department—take down Wang Tianfeng!"

Zheng Yaoxian looked like he was sharpening his knife, and he said, "Isn't Zhang Anping doing this because Wang Tianfeng doesn't want to back down?"

"If we take down Wang Tianfeng, will Zhang Anping really have won?"

Remove Wang Tianfeng?
Zheng Yaoquan was extremely moved.

But no matter how tempted he was, he still felt uneasy:

"Seventh Brother, do you think we can take him down?"

This was actually a good opportunity to take down Wang Tianfeng, but Zhang Anping's lack of cooperation and attempt to take responsibility led the two Zhengs and one Mao to focus their attention on Zhang Anping, thus bypassing Wang Tianfeng and directly "targeting" Zhang Anping.

If you say it was a wrong decision—but with Zhang Anping gone, how could Wang Tianfeng possibly still be in the intelligence department?

To say there was no mistake would be an overstatement; that punch was like hitting a tank, the fist... directly to the bone!
"Yes!" Zheng Yaoxian said confidently, "Actually, I've been collecting questions about Wang Tianfeng to prepare for the future—"

"This time, the intelligence department's move against Mao's woman was Wang Tianfeng's idea; Zhang Anping had no idea!"

"Also, the whereabouts of a large sum of money that the intelligence department receives every month is very suspicious—in addition, Wang Tianfeng likes to use death row inmates, and he has a special force composed of death row inmates. These are all entry points we can use to get in."

"Therefore, I think it's a piece of cake to take down Wang Tianfeng and find out what's wrong with him!"

Zheng Yaoxian's face was filled with fierce fighting spirit, clearly hating Zhang Anping for turning the tables on him and making fun of him today.

After careful consideration, Zheng Yaoquan made up his mind and said:

"Seventh Brother, since you're confident, then do it!"

"Don't worry, this time I'll be your strong support!"

Upon hearing this, a fleeting glint of lust crossed Zheng Yaoxian's face, before he patted his chest and assured him:

"Don't worry, Chief, this time Wang Tianfeng is doomed!"

"I'm going back right now to take him down!"

Zheng Yaoquan nodded: "Go ahead, I'll take care of everything!"

After Zheng Yaoxian left, a cold smile appeared on Zheng Yaoquan's face. This Zheng Laoqi is really greedy. He actually wants to take charge of the intelligence department!
But this is for the best. Once Zheng Yaoxian takes control of the intelligence department, Zhang Anping's anger will definitely be directed at Zheng Yaoxian first. At that time, he can stay behind the scenes, supporting Mao Renfeng with his left hand and Zheng Yaoxian with his right, and continue to act as the referee!
Well, that's assuming Mao Renfeng can get through this hurdle. ...

Linggu Temple, guest rooms.

Zhang Anping appeared "abruptly" in a guest room—the word "abruptly" is used because this was where Mao Renfeng was temporarily staying.

Two mortal enemies have unexpectedly met here; if word got out, it would probably shock a lot of people.

Faced with Zhang Anping's "sudden" appearance, Mao Renfeng paused briefly before speaking:

"When I was mourning Chunfeng's portrait today, I couldn't help but think: if Chunfeng saw the current state of the Security Bureau, and saw his hard work ruined by Zheng Yaoquan, he would probably kill Zheng Yaoquan on the spot."

Old Dai is truly a brick in the struggle; he's moved wherever he's needed!

Zhang Anping couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Mao Renfeng is really shameless. How can she say such a serious thing at a time like this!"

But then I thought, let's not laugh at each other like that.

He then said quietly:
"Uncle Mao... I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

The title "Uncle Mao" surprised Mao Renfeng.

When Zhang Anping first joined the Special Service, he was credited with discovering a Japanese spy's secret photography. At a family dinner at the Dai family home, Dai Chunfeng, holding Zhang Anping's hand, introduced his nephew to the high-ranking officials of the Special Service.

At that time, Zhang Anping, being a junior, would call everyone he met "uncle".

Later, I never heard that name again!

When did he stop calling him Uncle Mao?

Oh, right, it was after he won over a certain special envoy surnamed "Zhang" in the Shanghai region—later Mao Renfeng found out that the so-called special envoy was actually Zhang Anping himself!

"Anping, I was confused for a moment, and Zheng Yaoquan instigated me to lose my mind!"

Mao Renfeng sighed and said, "The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is the brainchild of Chunfeng, and I, Chunfeng's classmate, have become so corrupt. I truly deserve to die!"

"If I were to be buried in the ground in the future, I fear I would have no face to see the spring breeze again!"

"Uncle Mao, it's good to admit your mistakes and correct them—I always thought about keeping the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics stable, but Zheng Yaoquan took advantage of my kindness and tried to seek peace through concessions, but peace is impossible!" Zhang Anping said self-deprecatingly.
"Back then, when faced with the Japanese's wolfish ambitions, we also endured, yielded, and retreated. As a result, the Japanese became more and more emboldened, moving from Northeast China to Shanghai and then to Beijing and Tianjin. In the end, we had no choice but to fight the war with the whole country."

"With precedents to follow, I always choose to back down in exchange for peace, ha—"

Faced with Zhang Anping's self-deprecation and self-criticism, Mao Renfeng felt his face burning, but with his "cultivation," how could he really be bothered by words?

“It was my fault in the past, Anping. This time I have come to my senses, and from now on, I will only have one voice in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics—”

"It's Director Zhang's voice!"

Mao Renfeng made a firm statement.

Let's translate the above nonsense:
Mao Renfeng first used Dai Chunfeng as a scapegoat, and then shifted all the blame onto Zheng Yaoquan—this was to show that she was willing to accept Zhang Anping's "good intentions";
That is, "the one surnamed Zheng was sold".

Zhang Anping used this line of poetry to express his past attitude, and to subtly inform Mao Renfeng that concessions would not bring peace:

If you don't cause trouble in the future, I'll pretend nothing happened. But if you do cause trouble, don't expect me to back down in the future!

Mao Renfeng's final statement naturally expressed her determination and attitude:

Willing to serve as a subject!

"Uncle Mao, you flatter me. You are a senior, and you have more experience than I have. Anping will try her best to consult with you in the future."

Zhang Anping used this sentence to express his attitude:

I will still give you power in the future.

Of course, this is just empty talk.

"You've really put me to shame—"

Mao Renfeng expressed her fear.

Thus, an extremely harmonious scene unfolded. If an outsider were to witness this, they would certainly not believe that these were the two who had previously fought tooth and nail!

Just then, the guest room door was suddenly pushed open, and Mao Renfeng's secretary's voice drifted in before she even entered:
"Commander, good news!"

"good news!"

"Director Zheng led his men to the intelligence department and took it down..."

Then, the sound stopped suddenly.

The secretary, who burst in, stared in astonishment at the harmonious interaction between Zhang and Mao, instinctively rubbing her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.

The two who fought to the death were actually... hiding here secretly?
The secretary really wanted to apologize for bothering him, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. After thinking it over, he decided to force a smile, but the smile he managed to give looked worse than a grimace.

Mao Renfeng thought to himself, "Damn it! I just kowtowed to Zhang Anping, and you stabbed me in the back?"

Did I kowtow for nothing?

His face darkened: "You bastard—speak, what is it?"

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "Tell me what the good news is."

Mao Renfeng's secretary was almost in tears. This is so unfair!

He struggled to maintain a smile that was more like a grimace, and after painstakingly organizing his words, he seamlessly switched to an expression of anger before speaking:
"Commander Zhang, Zheng Yaoxian has gone mad and actually led his men to arrest Director Wang!"

Mao Renfeng was startled: "What?"

The smile on Zhang Anping's face faded, but then reappeared:

"Is this... a desperate act?"

His smile was cold and mocking.

After speaking, he looked at Mao Renfeng with a half-smile. Mao Renfeng was startled again, then said angrily:

"Is Zheng Laoqi trying to rebel? Who gave him the audacity to detain me, the head of the intelligence department of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics?"

"J..." Mao Renfeng wanted to address him as Director, but quickly changed his words: "Anping, without your and my consent, Zheng Yaoxian dared to detain the head of the intelligence department of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. This is a serious violation of rules and regulations!"

"He dares to act so recklessly, he must have Zheng Yaoquan backing him up!"

"We must never compromise!"

The secretary stared in disbelief, thinking to herself, "Has the world gone mad?"

Zhang Anping said coldly:
"Since they want to fight, then fight to the death!"

After saying that, his tone softened: "Uncle Mao, it's up to you now!"

"Don't worry, Anping! Zheng Yaoquan's struggle this time is nothing more than a cornered beast fighting for its life!"

Mao Renfeng's words were absolutely clear.

Wang Tianfeng was taken down. If anyone was surprised, it was Mao Renfeng—he never expected Zheng Yaoquan to have such audacity!

Would taking down Wang Tianfeng help protect Mao Renfeng?

Useless!

This time, Zhang Anping has a fatal weakness in his hands. Even if ten Wang Tianfengs fell, it wouldn't make a difference!

Besides, what good would it do to capture Wang Tianfeng?
Zhang Anping's knife was already so sharp and gleaming that if he were to strike, Zheng Yaoquan would surely be forced to flee the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics—capturing Wang Tianfeng would be futile!
In fact, this is why Zhang Anping dared to do this.

He wanted Zheng Yaoquan to "take" Wang Tianfeng away before he left—the show was about to end, and if he couldn't get Wang Tianfeng out of the intelligence department, he might never have another chance.

If Zheng Yaoquan doesn't leave this time, even if Wang Tianfeng is captured, Zheng Yaoquan might let Wang Tianfeng return to the Special Service Department in order to compromise.

But Zheng Yaoquan was determined to leave this time. Since he was going to leave the position of Director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in such a sorry state, he would not allow Wang Tianfeng, whom Zhang Anping valued most, to return to the Intelligence Department!
