Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

The elder, who had just been beaming with joy, now froze his expression, as if he had been instantly frozen in place.

Everyone is thinking about one possibility:
Would it benefit Zhang Anping to overturn the table?

Extending to another question:
Does Zhang Anping have the ability to completely overturn the table?
Does it have it?
They possessed it—and they were the ones who provided the leverage!

But would overturning the table benefit Zhang Anping?
Will this cause the chief attendant to become completely disappointed in him and banish him to the sidelines?
Mao Renfeng's mind raced as she considered this possibility.

Zhang Anping's "merits" from the moment he joined the Special Service Department replayed in Mao Renfeng's mind like a movie:
He risked his life to save the emperor twice—once by leading a lone force deep into Xi'an during a mutiny, and once by braving countless bullet holes to rush from Shanghai to Nanjing.

Forty million!
During the Shanghai evacuation, forty million US dollars were secretly delivered to his chief of staff...

Zhang Anping took the blame, but the money was secretly accepted by the chief attendant, and this merit must never be shown to anyone!
hiss--

Mao Renfeng gasped. If, if Zhang Anping overturned the table, given the chief attendant's trust in him, the possibility of starting over was... very, very high!
The Zhang faction within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and those veterans willing to follow Zhang Anping, were a burden to Zhang Anping, and also one of the reasons why he couldn't overturn the table.

But what if we could settle these people down?

Wang Tianfeng, who has a gloomy personality, suddenly "exploded" yesterday. Although Mao Renfeng hated Wang Tianfeng for his sudden outburst and for making him lose face, he knew why Wang Tianfeng did that.

So, what about Zhang Anping?
He's always been an impatient person; otherwise, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.

So, he... really had a reason to flip the table;
And they even have the audacity to overturn the table!
The most crucial point: If Zhang Anping really overturns the table, causing the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to cease to exist, then what will become of Mao Renfeng?

With the trust of the chief attendant, Zhang Anping is very likely to restart his business, but the chief attendant will definitely give him a warning and may leave him out for a while. As for Mao Renfeng?

With the collapse of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he might not even be as good as Xu Enzeng!
Because Xu Enzeng has the Chen family backing him up, but what about him?

His roots are in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics; without the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he is nothing!

In just a few seconds, these thoughts flashed through Mao Renfeng's mind, and he made a decision.

So, in this deathly silent conference room, Mao Renfeng suddenly slammed his hand on the table:
Snapped

Then he shouted:

"presumptuous!"

When the angry word "Insolence" was uttered, everyone in the conference room had only one thought:
The dog... is about to go berserk!
But then someone realized:

Wait, why is he throwing a tantrum now? Does he think he hasn't overturned the table thoroughly enough?

Or perhaps he was originally involved with Zhang Anping?

Thinking of this possibility, some people looked at Mao Renfeng with a look of surprise and uncertainty. No way, no way, this person... can't be that insidious, right?
Amidst these complex and ever-changing thoughts, Mao Renfeng angrily exclaimed:

"Do you even have any regard for meeting discipline?"

"This is a bureau meeting of the Security Bureau! A bureau meeting under Boss Dai's watchful eye—don't you lot have any sense of discipline just because you have a little seniority?"

"Who gave you the audacity to question Deputy Director Zhang before the meeting has even started?"

"Who gave it to you?!"

These repeated angry rebukes shocked everyone.

What the hell?

what's the situation?
Mao Renfeng... has transformed into a hairy dog ​​yet again?

The elders who had just suspected that Mao Renfeng had always sided with Zhang Anping suddenly felt a wave of dizziness – this was bad, this was terrible, they had been targeting us from the very beginning!

That dog, what a cunning schemer!

We were the closest to Zhang Anping before, but he interfered and used us as a pledge of loyalty!
hateful!

How hateful!
Some of the elders glared at Mao Renfeng with eyes blazing with fury, wishing they could pounce on him and fight him to the death.

But at this time, Mao Renfeng was still performing.

“Anping, I also have something to say to you—” Mao Renfeng suddenly changed the subject, turning her “gun” towards Zhang Anping.

This sudden change nearly made the angry elders gasp for breath, while the others were equally stunned by Mao Renfeng's transformation from a sudden outburst to a "soft" rebuke of Zhang Anping.

What the hell is this?

what's the situation!
Mao Renfeng then continued:

"Since the list has been submitted and the GFB Personnel Department has already filed it, how can it be withdrawn? How can the decision of our Security Bureau be withdrawn at will?"

"Withdrawing because of the opposition of three or five people?"

"Is this still a decision made by my Bureau of Investigation and Statistics?"

"joke!"

"How can the resolutions of our entire Security Bureau become a joke because of the opposition of a small group of people?!"

His righteous and stern words left everyone puzzled. What exactly was Mao Renfeng up to?
The elder, who had experienced the pain firsthand, wanted to retort, but noticed that Mao Renfeng was frantically giving him meaningful glances.

Winking?
His anger was immediately suppressed. He suppressed the urge to speak and recalled Mao Renfeng's transformation.

Turn over the table?

Yes, yes, what Mao Renfeng fears is that Zhang Anping has completely overturned the table this time, exposing the secret service's true colors to everyone!

It's admitting defeat!
That dog is definitely unreliable!

The elder cursed inwardly, but his anger completely dissipated.

Mao Renfeng was afraid that Zhang Anping would completely overturn the table, and they were just as afraid!

They dared to hand over their incriminating evidence to Zhang Anping this time because Zhang Anping wouldn't dare expose the secrets of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. But Zhang Anping's actions clearly showed that he was about to overturn the table.

If they were to overturn the table, would they expect good results for what they've done?
When the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics collapses, they will also collapse.

The others now understood why Mao Renfeng had suddenly changed, and they all wilted like frostbitten eggplants, no longer displaying their previous aggressive demeanor.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Mao Renfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhang Anping.

A cold smile played on Zhang Anping's lips, as if he were watching a spectacular monkey show. His eyes, which seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, were filled with mockery and disdain.

"Anping, shall we begin the formal meeting?"

The same "requests for instructions" as those of the previous three months, as if the sordid events of this period never existed.

Zhang Anping's mocking smile deepened, but he remained silent.

Mao Renfeng, as if having received Zhang Anping's approval, cleared her throat:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this bureau meeting is now officially open—"

"After a long period of planning, our Security Bureau finally decided to close the net yesterday—"

"In this operation, our entire Security Bureau worked together as one, arresting dozens of underground party members and destroying several underground party strongholds..."

Everyone could understand what Mao Renfeng said individually, but when they were put together, no one could understand them at all.

What does it mean to have been planned over a long period of time?

What does it mean to be united as one?
What does it mean to arrest dozens of underground party members?

What does it mean to destroy multiple underground party strongholds?
Who among those present didn't understand what exactly happened yesterday?

How does this relate to unity and solidarity, or to the arrest of Communists?

Ah!
They've seen plenty of cases where right and wrong are reversed, but they've never seen anything quite like this!

But Mao Renfeng is still setting the tone for this matter.

“During this large-scale arrest operation, something regrettable also happened – I never expected that the underground party's infiltration of our Security Bureau would be so severe. More than ten of our Security Bureau members were lured by the underground party and became their undercover agents. It is truly infuriating and hateful!”

I was stunned, completely stunned once again.

That dog is clearly about to kill us!

But the targets of their brutal killings were actually those who worked for them!
Those "actors" who took money to do things became the underground party members he described as sure to be there, and those subordinates and members of the secret service who were ordered to do things actually became undercover agents of the underground party!
This is really... ruthless and vicious.

Even Zhang Anping's expression changed at this moment; his cold smile unconsciously disappeared and was replaced by astonishment.

Some elders wanted to object, but were gently pulled back by their colleagues, who shook their heads slightly.

The organization's elders stared wide-eyed. Were they just going to stand by and watch that Maoist traitor betray us?

His companion nodded slightly and said in a sorrowful voice:

"Director Mao is right, it is indeed infuriating and hateful! You can know a person's face but not their heart. I never expected that one of my trusted subordinates would be tempted and corrupted by the underground party. As their superior, I... I cannot shirk my responsibility!"

Abandon the car to save the handsome man!

Now even the dumbest person would understand why.

They foolishly handed this leverage to Zhang Anping. Now, they admit defeat and follow Zhang Anping's orders. These people are Communists, and they have failed to manage their subordinates properly. Zhang Anping can punish them as he sees fit—is that enough?

At this moment, Zhang Anping clearly "understood" what Mao Renfeng and these people meant.

A look of seriousness and contemplation appeared on his face.

At this moment, Mao Renfeng said from the side, "Anping, I think this bureau meeting should resolve this matter thoroughly—I suggest we cut the Gordian knot. What do you think?"

This sentence translates to:
Sir, are we kneeling properly this time? Didn't you want to reform the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics? Now the knife is in your hand, we're all kneeling, you can chop us however you want, okay?!
Zhang Anping did not answer, but the thoughtful look on his face was very obvious.

He was weighing the options—between flipping the table and accepting these people kneeling before him.

The hearts of all participants were in their throats at that moment.

On the contrary, Mao Renfeng, who did all this, was relatively calm.

Because he suspected that Zhang Anping had done this on purpose—but even so, Mao Renfeng dared not gamble. Zhang Anping had a way out, a real way out. Even if things didn't go his way, he could start anew on the "corpse" of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. If he went to the Ordnance Department, he would receive strong support from the military.

But Mao Renfeng was destined to share the fate of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and the others were in a similar situation.

Faced with Zhang Anping's do-or-die attitude, they... couldn't afford to gamble!

It's funny, actually. This was clearly a scheme to manipulate Zhang Anping, but in the end, Zhang Anping was the one who manipulated him.

But whose schemes were based on understanding Zhang Anping's "personality"?

At this point, Zhang Anping was still "weighing the options"—in fact, he knew very well that some people would realize that he was turning the tables on them, but he had the confidence, while they did not have the confidence to gamble, so they could only be manipulated!
However, it wouldn't be bad to perform a little longer, especially seeing how nervous they are.

After a long while, Zhang Anping felt he had enough time to put on airs, so he slowly began to speak:
"The Communist Party must be eradicated completely!"

The entire message consisted of fewer than ten words, and contained not a trace of murderous intent. However, to those involved, it sounded like a blood-red butcher's knife.

“Anping is right, we must eradicate evil completely!” Mao Renfeng immediately agreed.

Zhang Anping gave Mao Renfeng a deep look:

"Traitors and undercover agents are unforgivable!"

Mao Renfeng seamlessly followed up: "That's natural—they must be executed, all of them must be executed!"

The veterans involved in the case felt a chill run down their spines and felt a bloody sense of dread. Those leaders of the "underground party" were all their confidants!
Zhang Anping went a step further: "Does Director Mao intend to personally oversee the execution?"

Mao Renfeng's lips twitched, then he spoke with righteous indignation:
"As the acting director of the Bureau of Secrecy, I, Mao, have an inescapable duty!"

"This victory is entirely due to the concerted efforts of everyone in our Security Bureau. These heroes..." Zhang Anping said slowly, finally looking at Mao Renfeng with lingering satisfaction, waiting for Mao Renfeng to respond.

"Those who have made merits must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished!" Mao Renfeng said decisively, "Tianfeng deserves the greatest credit for this victory, and the other soldiers must not be discouraged—I will personally petition the attendants to award credit to their unit!"

After scanning the faces of the elders, whose eyes held a hint of resentment, Zhang Anping asked in return:
"Is this a resolution of the bureau meeting?"

Mao Renfeng immediately said:

"This is a resolution of the Bureau's meeting, a resolution passed by the entire Bureau of Secrecy!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement, even the elders who had no complaints could only nod with tears in their eyes.

There is no greater evil than cutting off one's own arm!

Zhang Anping then asked, "What about the cadre exchange list? Should I go to the Personnel Department to withdraw it?"

"No!" Mao Renfeng declared righteously, "This is a decision made by the entire Secret Service; how can we change it so easily? Anping, don't mention this matter again!"

Zhang Anping slowly said:

"Oh……"

"Is that the end of today's meeting?"

Zhang Anping used a question, but he got up as soon as he finished speaking, turned around and left the office—the most infuriating thing was that before leaving the office, he shook his head helplessly.

I don't know if it was because the ending wasn't what he expected or what.

Zhang's henchmen looked on with strange expressions. Was this... the end?

The whole thing... just ended like that, uneventfully?

What about a fierce collision?
Is it a coup?
How... did it end like this?
To be able to turn one's hand into clouds and rain, that's probably... that's it!

Some people looked mockingly at a particularly bouncing elder, their eyes full of sarcasm—if only they had known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?
Can't you just lie there and enjoy yourself?
In the end, even their bottom line was easily breached!
"Director Mao, shall we go?" After asking, one of the cadres stood up and left without waiting for Mao Renfeng's reply. The others followed suit and left, leaving the huge conference room to this group of unlucky guys who insisted on resisting but ultimately lost miserably.

This is more than just losing both your wife and your army!

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, before leaving the meeting room, they all shook their heads, just like Zhang Anping...

This scene nearly made the members of the anti-Zhang alliance, who were stuck in the meeting room, vomit blood.

They say adding insult to injury is bad enough, but these bastards are adding refrigerant to the snow...

In the huge meeting, as the other senior executives left, as the service staff who hadn't dared to acknowledge their presence throughout the meeting left, only Mao Renfeng and a group of elders with bleeding hearts remained, along with... a suffocating silence.

Finally, someone broke the silence with an angry roar:

"Mao Renfeng! What a mess you've made!"

Eight words ignited the anger that had been kept hidden, and set ablaze the "explosive" that had been kept hidden.

"You two, surnamed Mao, are in cahoots! From beginning to end, it was all a charade between the two of you!"

"Mao Renfeng, you heartless bastard!"

Hmm, that sound was relatively mild...

Faced with the collective attack from the anti-Zhang alliance, Mao Renfeng, with a stern face, finally slammed her hand on the table amidst a barrage of unbearable insults:

"asshole!"

"Everything was the result of our joint discussion—you wanted me to take the blame before, fine, I, Mao, will take the blame!"

"If you weren't satisfied just now, go ahead and fight that guy surnamed Zhang! Fight him to the death! What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? I'm afraid of nothing!!!"

Mao Renfeng punched his chest in frustration:
"Am I not feeling frustrated? Am I not angry?"

"But he's so determined to flip the table, what can I do? Whatever you do, I can only do the same!"

Mao Renfeng's grievances were nine parts genuine and one part acting.

I've already shown my hand, haven't I?!

I've seen through their scheme, haven't I?!

The results of it?
I still have to endure hardship and bide my time; I still have to act like a dog in front of so many people!

If the taste of power weren't so tempting, Mao Renfeng would actually have preferred to say:

Tired, destroy it!

But that power is just too tempting; I can't bear to give it up.

Faced with Mao Renfeng's somewhat hysterical outburst, the others stopped their endless accusations and insults.

Mao... he really had a tough time.

As the situation gradually calmed down, someone spoke up in frustration: "So what do we do now?"

"Either we fight to the death, or we become a rich man whom everyone can manipulate," Mao Renfeng said irritably.
"Either, obediently carry out this resolution."

"What else can we do?"

Yes, what else can we do?
Those who were "exchanged" to the Party's intelligence bureau, those who were treated as undercover agents and were to be executed...

The thought of losing so many "cars" is absolutely painful!

Seeing the low morale and everyone looking as if they had lost their parents, Mao Renfeng took a deep breath and softened her tone, saying:

"Although we suffered heavy losses this time, we survived after all. As long as we're alive, there's still a chance..."

Although they knew Mao Renfeng was trying to comfort and appease them, some people still couldn't hold back and slammed their fists on the table in anger.

"Screw the chance!"

"I must have been blind to believe your nonsense!"

"From now on, I'll just stay put and behave myself. Even if the sky falls, it's none of my business!"

"Fuck you!"

These words expressed the feelings of several elders who were seething with anger, and they all used these words to express their fury and resentment.

Mao Renfeng watched coldly, letting them vent their anger, but inwardly she sneered:

Am I, Mao, so eloquent and persuasive?

It was clearly Zhang Anping's knife that slashed your bodies, forcing you to fight back!
They all seem to be bewitched by me now!

There is no shortage of tricks and strategies!

Mao Renfeng gritted her teeth, thinking coldly to herself:

The spring pond is enchanting! (End of Chapter)
