Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

After taking down Wang Tianfeng, Zheng Yaoquan prepared a whole host of performances for Zhang Anping—as long as Zhang Anping dared to come knocking, he would put on a show for Zhang Anping to watch.

While he was sharpening his knife and waiting anxiously, he never received Zhang Anping's "revenge".

This scene left not only Zheng Yaoquan astonished, but also the various warlords in Nanjing.

Just now, Zhang Anping took the stage on the stage set up by Zheng Yaoquan and sang the opera that should have been sung by Zheng Yaoquan. In other words, at this moment when Zhang Anping was at the height of his power, he suddenly backed down.

"Wouldn't Commander Zhang An abandon Wang Tianfeng?"

"Definitely not—I heard that the whole drama before started because of Wang Tianfeng."

But he didn't move!

“There’s no reason for him to abandon Wang Tianfeng. If he abandons Wang Tianfeng, what will the elders think? Zhang Anping only cares about his own cronies and doesn’t care about these elders?”

There was much speculation from the outside world, and everyone was curious about how Zhang Anping would deal with this situation. Everyone could see that taking down Wang Tianfeng was actually Zheng Yaoquan's revenge on Zhang Anping, the real director. If Zhang Anping were to back down, those veterans of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Special Service Department who had sided with him would probably have to think twice.
But Zhang Anping didn't make a single move for three days straight!

This is incredible!

Some people speculate:

"Perhaps he's waiting to attend the meeting!"

……

Zheng family.

Zheng Yaoquan flipped through the large stack of materials that Zheng Yaoxian had brought, while Zheng Yaoxian, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, seemed to be lost in thought.

Zheng Yaoquan didn't care about Zheng Yaoxian's behavior at all—everyone knew that Zheng Yaoxian was just an arrogant and domineering person, and that he was incompatible with Zhang Anping. He could tolerate the small flaw.

After reviewing these materials, Zheng Yaoquan said with a cryptic expression:
"You mean Wang Tianfeng used that money to maintain an unofficial intelligence agency?"

Zheng Yaoxian previously suggested taking down Wang Tianfeng, one of his reasons being:

The intelligence department has a strange monthly expenditure. Although the accounts have been balanced, the whereabouts of the money are still suspicious—it is suspected that it was embezzled by Wang Tianfeng.

Zheng Yaoquan had no doubts about this deal. Everyone knew what kind of people the officials of the Party and the State were.

Greed for funds, standard practice!

But now the situation is that this money has been used to "support" unofficial agents!

This is... a bit strange.

Everyone else is sucking blood from the Party and the state, and you're actually using that blood to strengthen the Party and the state?

"Hmm—they are agents who were dismissed during the reorganization of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Based on this sum of money, we can deduce that there are approximately 170 people involved. This Wang Tianfeng really is..."

Zheng Yaoxian also looked speechless.

"Well... this might be difficult to handle." Zheng Yaoquan was a bit of a headache. For someone without a background, it would be easy to find a pretext to accuse them, but for someone like Wang Tianfeng, whom Zhang Anping would definitely protect at all costs, what kind of crime was this?
Disregarding organizational discipline?

Zheng Yaoxian replied, "What's so difficult about that?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper that had been written on beforehand and pushed it to Zheng Yaoquan. Zheng Yaoquan took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

1. Forming cliques and plotting treason; Article 12 of the Organizational Regulations of the Bureau of Secrecy states: Anyone who establishes an armed group without the approval of the Bureau headquarters shall be deemed to have committed treason.

2. Misappropriation of state intelligence resources; "Regulations for the Punishment of Rebellion"

3. Misappropriation of special agent funds; (According to the Organizational Regulations of the Bureau of Secrecy…)

4. Forging organizational and personnel orders; (According to…)

5. Undermining the leader's major disarmament plan. (The streamlining of government agencies is a direct order from the leader!)

The paper listed five charges, and importantly, each charge was backed by corresponding regulations.

Zheng Yaoquan hadn't expected Zheng Yaoxian to have made such thorough preparations—he was determined to take down Wang Tianfeng and vent his anger!

He couldn't help but tap the table lightly.

Zheng Yaoxian's preparations were truly thorough, and these were not arbitrary accusations. Using these charges to impeach Wang Tianfeng would have no problem in terms of convincing the public.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Yaoquan said, "Zhang Anping will probably protect him to the death."

"Just say it was his order..."

"Then let's kill two birds with one stone!" Zheng Yaoxian sneered. "Zhang Anping is just one of the deputy directors of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Without the authorization of the Director and Mao Renfeng, it would be better to pin the blame on him directly!"

"I suspect he might secretly prepare relevant documents and slip them into the archives—Director, you can rest assured, I've already made preparations in the archives. If Zhang Anping dares to do that, then we'll add another charge of forging confidential documents to his list!"

Seeing that Zheng Yaoxian was so well-prepared, Zheng Yaoquan's worries disappeared.

“Okay—” He slowly folded the paper filled with the charges and put it in his pocket:

"Then let's discuss this matter at the meeting tomorrow!"

Zheng Yaoxian then said, "Director, there's one more thing that might be helpful."

"what's up?"

"Doesn't the intelligence department have a special force composed of death row inmates? There's one of them named Ding San. He was sentenced to death because he accidentally killed the son of a high-ranking official during an operation—Wang Tianfeng secretly protected him and transferred him into his special operations team."

Zheng Yaoxian said slyly, "You can use this as a starting point to talk to that high-ranking official."

Zheng Yaoquan nodded slowly, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Wang Tianfeng was detained at the bureau headquarters—his freedom was restricted, but he was not directly thrown into prison.

His guards were all Zheng Yaoxian's confidants, which also prevented the transmission of information.

But at this moment, Zheng Yaoxian's confidants were trembling with fear.

Because Zhang Anping stood in front of them with only one request: I want to go in.

Stop him?
The group looked at each other, none of them daring to take the lead.

"Open the door."

Faced with Zhang Anping's once again cold voice, Zheng Yaoxian's loyal followers hesitated for a moment, and finally... submitted.

The door opened, and Zhang Anping stepped into Wang Tianfeng's office.

In the past, Wang Tianfeng always used to draw the thick curtains to immerse himself in darkness, but now he doesn't draw the curtains at all, and even the windows are wide open.

Warm sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating Wang Tianfeng, who was dozing in his chair.

Even after hearing the door open and Zhang Anping's voice from outside, he didn't move until Zhang Anping came in, sat on the sofa, and said:

"Are you blaming me?"

Zhang Anping meant that you should stop blaming me for not coming for the past three days.

Wang Tianfeng ended his feigned sleep, shook his head, and said:

"I knew this day would come."

Zhang Anping, on the contrary, was puzzled:
"why?"

Since you guessed it, why didn't you take any action?
Zhang Anping's rhetorical question also reveals another meaning:
I also learned that you secretly recruited more than a hundred people who were supposed to be laid off!
Wang Tianfeng shook his head but did not explain.

I thought you'd quickly get the situation under control, and then this kind of thing wouldn't be a big deal.

Unfortunately, due to Zheng Yaoquan's involvement, the entanglement between Zhang Anping and Mao Renfeng has continued to this day.

Seeing that Wang Tianfeng did not answer, Zhang Anping said with a hint of annoyance, "I asked you that before!"

Wang Tianfeng sighed. "Those were the days."

“Don’t even think about protecting me this time.” Wang Tianfeng stared at Zhang Anping: “Zheng Yaoxian will likely make this an ironclad case.”

Zhang Anping said with dissatisfaction, "I have my own considerations!" "These two lessons are enough—in the future, don't act on your own!"

Wang Tianfeng looked at Zhang Anping helplessly:
"You'll get yourself into trouble!"

“I said I had my own considerations—” Zhang Anping emphasized, then whispered, “In the future, when facing investigations, you must insist that this matter was approved by me!”

"you……"

Wang Tianfeng looked intently at Zhang Anping, unsure of what to say.

Zhang Anping stood up, patted Wang Tianfeng on the shoulder, and said:
"From now on, don't make decisions on your own, especially on such important matters."

After saying that, Zhang Anping got up and left, leaving Wang Tianfeng standing there dumbfounded.

In fact, he really hoped that Zhang Anping would give up on him this time.

But once Wang Tianfeng made a decision, no one else could change it, so how could Zhang Anping change his mind because of a few words from him?
He couldn't help but recall Xu Baichuan's previous accusations against him, and a bitter smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

……

The meeting room of the Bureau of Secrecy.

This was a regular meeting with a large number of attendees, including all the high-ranking members of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

There was no tense atmosphere in the meeting room, and the agenda items were being discussed smoothly. However, most of the attendees seemed to be restless, and every now and then someone would glance at Zheng Yaoquan and Zhang Anping with a strange look.

They all knew that the current calm and sunshine were just the calm before the storm!
Because Zhang Anping and Zheng Yaoquan are bound to clash fiercely because of Wang Tianfeng!

At this time, Mao Renfeng remained silent on all issues, like a nobody.

In fact, Mao was very frustrated—since the Linggu Temple meeting ended, neither Zheng Yaoquan nor Zheng Yaoxian had come to see him!
They've completely given up on themselves!

Although he had already sided with Zhang Anping, he still felt a chill to the bone. Those two bastards, they could at least pretend to comfort him!

He pretended to be silent, but secretly he was determined. "Zheng Jiefu, Zheng Jiefu, when you slink away from the Security Bureau, I, Mao Renfeng, will still see you off..."

Only Mao Renfeng knew what Zhang Anping was plotting. Others thought Zhang Anping hadn't made a single move in the past three days, but Mao Renfeng knew that Zhang Anping had been arranging something big enough to overthrow the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics!
Mao Renfeng glanced at Zheng Yaoquan in the main seat and sneered inwardly, thinking, "Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!"

Just as the issues were being passed one by one, Zheng Yaoxian, who had been silent until now, suddenly launched an attack.

"Gentlemen, I have a topic to discuss—it concerns Wang Tianfeng, the head of the intelligence department!"

Zheng Yaoxian stood up directly:

“Three days ago, I personally ordered Wang Tianfeng to be placed under house arrest—I have conducted a detailed investigation over the past three days.”

"This is the result of my investigation—"

"First, during the period when the Military Intelligence Bureau was reorganized into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, Wang Tianfeng secretly recruited nearly two hundred dismissed agents."

Secondly, Wang Tianfeng disregarded the laws of the Party and the State, and repeatedly rescued people from death row inmates, forming them into an armed force, which he euphemistically called the "Intelligence Special Operations Team."

Whether there is any conflict of interest involved remains to be seen, but the attitude of disregarding the laws of the party and the state and ignoring the leader's teachings is very obvious!
Therefore, I propose removing Wang Tianfeng from his position as head of the intelligence department—what do you all think?

Zheng Yaoxian's bombshell was not unexpected by the attendees. With Wang Tianfeng under house arrest, the two Zhengs were bound to attack Zhang Anping. The bombshell they dropped was simply what was expected.

So no one was surprised, but all eyes were on Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping said leisurely:
"These two things were done with my approval—Director Zheng, do you see any problems with them?"

Death guarantee!

As expected, Zhang Anping protected Wang Tianfeng to the death at this moment!
Zheng Yaoxian, however, pressed on relentlessly:
"You agreed to it? How come I didn't know? According to the rules, shouldn't I, as the director, have the right to know about this kind of thing?"

Zhang Anping said casually:

“I think these two matters need to be kept under a higher level of confidentiality, and you… are not high enough.”

Zheng Yaoxian sneered: "And what about Director Zheng?"

"At that time, the Director had not yet taken office."

"But how come he didn't know about this after the Director took office? Does Commander Zhang think that this kind of thing isn't even allowed to be filed?"

Zhang Anping said calmly, "I've discussed this with Deputy Director Mao, and we think it's best not to leave any written records."

Zheng Yaoxian seemed stunned, and everyone at the meeting was also stunned—at this moment, Zhang Anping actually said that Mao Renfeng knew about it?
There are no written records, so how could Mao Renfeng have known about it?
Holy crap, does that mean that if Mao Renfeng denies it, Zhang Anping is just shooting himself in the foot?
Even if it's true!
Zheng Yaoxian had clearly thought of this as well, a barely suppressed joy on his face. He then looked at Mao Renfeng, who had been keeping a low profile all along:

"Deputy Director Mao, were you aware of this?"

I know, my ass!

Mao Renfeng cursed inwardly.

He looked at Zhang Anping, but Zhang Anping remained indifferent.

At this moment, Zheng Yaoquan tapped on the table: "Director Mao?"

The voice was calm, but the pressure it conveyed was immense.

cut!
Mao Renfeng sneered inwardly, then slowly said, "I know about this matter."

boom!
It was as if a bomb had been dropped; everyone at the meeting was stunned.

Mao Renfeng, who has been locked in a fierce battle with Zhang Anping until now, has actually spoken out and sided with Zhang Anping at this crucial moment, when Zhang Anping's right-hand man could be eliminated!

how can that be!

How could two mortal enemies suddenly stand together?
Zheng Yaoxian was also stunned, unable to believe that these words came from Mao Renfeng's mouth.

Zheng Yaoquan's face was full of astonishment—at the critical moment, Mao Renfeng, who could have stabbed Zhang Anping, was actually standing in a row with Zhang Anping.
You could hear a pin drop in the conference room.

"Gentlemen, our Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is, after all, an intelligence agency; some things cannot be written down—" Mao Renfeng said meaningfully:

"I had previously heard people criticize Director Zhang, saying that he was very self-serving when the Military Intelligence Bureau was reorganizing the Bureau of Secrecy, and that the dismissal of some talented cadres was entirely due to his selfishness."

"Since we're going to be frank now, I won't hide anything anymore—"

"Is Director Zhang really so inconsiderate?"

"With Director Zhang valuing talent so much, how could he possibly reorganize truly outstanding cadres? It's just a matter of turning them from the open to the covert!"

Some people rubbed their ears, trying to make sure they weren't hallucinating, while others quietly pinched themselves to make sure they weren't dreaming.

After confirming that they were not hallucinating or dreaming, a string of question marks now appeared on their foreheads.

Holy crap, did I get up too fast today?

What... is going on?
In this world, have mice and cats gotten married?

Zheng Yaoxian and Zheng Yaoquan were also dumbfounded. How could Mao Renfeng be so shameless as to support Zhang Anping here?
Damn it, who doesn't know that these words came from you?

[Damn it, those two bastards teamed up—this is bad, they're coming for me!]

Zheng Yaoquan quickly realized what was happening and understood that something was seriously wrong.

The only reason Zhang Anping could put aside his prejudices and join forces with Mao Renfeng is because he's after Zheng Yaoquan!
Zheng Yaoxian seemed to realize what was happening, but then he angrily said:

"Do you think you can disregard Party discipline and state laws just because you communicate privately?"

"We've always said the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is rotten, but it turns out... the root of the problem is the two of you!"

Zheng Yaoxian slammed his hand on the table:
"Absurd! You two are utterly absurd! This matter seriously violates the regulations of the Bureau of Secrecy, and seriously violates Party discipline and state law—you are in cahoots!"

Zheng Yaoquan also stood up at this moment:

"Since everyone is so arguing about this, let's report it."

Zheng Yaoquan had already realized the crisis at this moment, so naturally he wouldn't just aim to remove Zhang Anping's right-hand men.

After saying that, he turned and left, with Zheng Yaoxian following closely behind. But after taking two steps, he turned back and angrily said:

"Our Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is ultimately an organization led by the GFB, not a lawless zone—as a member of the Party and the State, how can I defy Party discipline and national laws in everything!" (End of this chapter)
