Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Shenyang Airport.

Chen Ming, handcuffed, was escorted out of the car by two secret agents.

They led Chen Ming to the parked plane, and the escorting agents whispered:

"Director Chen, take care on your journey."

Chen Ming was listless, staring blankly at the plane not far away, and for a moment forgot to answer.

He was really going to be escorted to Nanjing.

Escort them!
These two words left him stunned; he never imagined he would fall to such a state.

Reluctantly looking back, but not seeing his wife, Chen Ming felt a sense of desolation—why wouldn't even his wife come to see him off to Nanjing?
At this moment, the two agents in charge of the air escort stepped forward and "linked" Chen Ming's arms:

"Director Chen, please!"

They said "please," but the two men actually helped Chen Ming board the plane. Chen Ming expressed his final stubbornness by stomping his feet on the ground. As he stepped into the cabin, a sense of unease rose in his heart.

Teacher, you're not really going to kill me, are you?
Thinking of the corrupt officials who had been executed under Zhang Anping's personal supervision since the end of the War of Resistance against Japan, Chen Ming felt inexplicably regretful. How could he have been so stupid as to try to save some money for himself, only to end up losing it all?

The two agents gestured for Chen Ming to sit down before taking their seats. They then glanced at Chen Ming with sympathetic eyes, a look of unspoken pity crossing their faces.

The money Chen Ming amassed sounds like it's worth hundreds of thousands of US dollars, but in reality, that so-called hundreds of thousands of US dollars is just what Chen Ming took over. Taking over doesn't mean he enjoys it all by himself. Anyone with a brain knows that this money has to be shared with other people. The amount that actually reaches Chen Ming is probably capped at around forty or fifty thousand US dollars.

Admittedly, this sum of money is a huge amount for ordinary people, but for the powerful director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics who controls the entire Northeast, it is not much, really not much.

In the end, Chen Ming had to bear all the consequences alone and was even escorted to Nanjing for legal proceedings.

It was really unlucky.

The thoughts of these two spies actually reflect a shift in the overall atmosphere within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (BIS). In the past, the BIS was not without corrupt individuals, but overall it was still passable. The main reason was that while the higher-ups were enjoying their wealth, they did not forget the middle and lower-level staff who were "starving" and "under high pressure," and provided them with quite good benefits.

However, after being reorganized into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the source of public funds was cut off.

In the past, the high-ranking members of the Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) parasitized public funds and amassed profits. However, the public funds eventually became the MIB's operating expenses, providing its members with extremely high welfare benefits in addition to their salaries. But after the reorganization, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (BIS) no longer had the power to raise its own funds.

And now prices are skyrocketing dramatically, even more outrageously than during the War of Resistance Against Japan—meaning that after working hard for a month, the salary is not enough to support a family.

In order to maintain their subordinates, the secret service officers have no choice but to find ways to make extra money. Perhaps their initial intentions are good, but once they get their hands on the money, their thoughts will change.

Furthermore, the former high-ranking officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau could use the Bureau's "public" funds to seek personal gain, but after the reorganization, they lost their source of income. However, having become accustomed to making large sums of money, how could they possibly let the opportunity slip by when they had power in their hands?
Zhang Anping's anti-corruption achievements simply vanished.

Human appetite and greed tend to increase continuously, like a gluttonous beast that never stops.

So, in less than a year, the secret service agents' opinion of a cadre arrested for embezzlement changed from "he deserved it" to "this unlucky guy is really unlucky."

Unfortunately, most people cannot see such changes.

Only the eyes behind the curtain seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and they saw this silent yet thunderous change in the two agents' sympathetic gaze towards Chen Ming.

Yu Xiuning sighed silently. As expected of a teacher, she saw through the true nature of this regime long ago.

She had planned to surprise her husband by going out from behind the curtain after the plane took off, but unexpectedly, the little one in her arms woke up and loudly made his presence known.

The baby's cry rang out, and Chen Ming, who had been in a daze, looked in astonishment at the curtain separating the two cabins. The moment the curtain was lifted, he was filled with joy.

"Wife."

Chen Ming looked at Yu Xiuning, who appeared after lifting the curtain, with surprise and joy. The grievances he had accumulated over the past few days due to his brother's "betrayal" and his wife's "abandonment" instantly erupted, and his eyes involuntarily reddened.

Approaching Yu Xiuning, she looked at her much thinner husband with heartache, but said:
"It's worthless."

Chen Ming responded with a silly grin, then his gaze fell on the little guy he hadn't seen for several days. Only after reaching out did he realize that he was wearing handcuffs.

Yu Xiu stared at the two spies who were pretending not to exist, her tone icy:

"key!"

An agent rushed forward, hastily unlocked the handcuffs, and then huddled with his companion in a corner of the cabin, continuing to pretend they didn't exist—this was Deputy Director Yu, someone they couldn't afford to offend, really couldn't afford to offend.

Seeing her husband still standing there dumbfounded, Yu Xiuning rolled her eyes and handed the child she was holding forward: "What are you standing there for? Hold your little brat!"

Chen Ming took the hug blankly. The little guy, who hadn't been held by his father in a long time, immediately kicked his legs in resistance. But after Chen Ming shook him for a while, the little guy immediately felt comfortable and accepted his father's embrace with a look of enjoyment.

Yu Xiuning watched this scene with a smile on her face. At this moment, she forgot all about the Party and the country, her opponents, and her teachers.

Until the plane takes off.

Chen Ming, who was holding the baby, suddenly realized: "Wife, why aren't you getting down?!"

Yu Xiuning said casually, "I'll go back with you."

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had dragged his wife into this mess. He immediately looked embarrassed and weakly said:
"Your teacher values ​​you highly, he won't make things difficult for you."

Despite saying this, he lacked confidence.

Yu Xiuning smiled but did not answer.

Feeling guilty, Chen Ming didn't notice the barely perceptible seriousness and unease on his wife's face.

After nearly three hours of flight, the plane began to descend. When the two agents in the cabin saw the ground through the porthole, they became puzzled.

Looking below, it doesn't seem to be Nanjing?

A secret agent cautiously walked past Yu Xiuning and her family of three to the cockpit to inquire. The pilot informed him that the destination was Shanghai, which was the requirement of ground command, and only then did the agent feel relieved.

Unexpected events often happen so suddenly!
As soon as the plane landed, a fully armed squad stormed into the aircraft, which had just come to a stop.

An officer who appeared to be an adjutant appeared in the passageway where the soldiers were separated:
"Mr. Chen? Mrs. Chen? My husband requests your presence—please come with us!"

Chen Ming was taken aback, while Yu Xiuning coldly asked, "Your husband? Who is he?"

After all, she was the deputy director of the Northeast Headquarters' Inspection Office. The moment she unleashed her aura, the arrogant adjutant surrounded by soldiers immediately felt immense pressure, and his attitude involuntarily softened.

"Please rest assured, Madam Chen, my husband meant no harm."

Chen Ming quietly shook his head, signaling Yu Xiuning not to agree, but after giving him a deep look, Yu Xiuning surprisingly nodded in agreement.

The two escorting agents, who had been pretending not to exist, finally lost their temper:
"We're from the Security Bureau. What do you want? I need to see the airport..."

Before he could finish speaking, the adjutant gestured to the soldiers, and several soldiers immediately smashed the agent down with their rifle butts, silencing him instantly...

"Take them to the airport security office!"

With a wave of his hand, the adjutant "settled" the two agents who had already begged for their release, and then signaled his men to escort Chen Ming and his wife off the plane.

After the family of three was put into a car, Yu Xiuning quietly squeezed Chen Ming's hand, signaling him not to worry. This made Chen Ming, who was feeling uneasy, suddenly realize that his wife might know something. He quietly observed his wife's expression and finally noticed the unease that Yu Xiuning had been trying to hide.

Chen Ming felt as if everything before him was shrouded in mist—Xu Zhongyi's betrayal, his own arrest, and the things his wife was keeping from him all converged into a thick fog, making it impossible for him to see what had actually happened.

The convoy stopped shortly after leaving the airport. A car was parked on the side of the road, and the person standing in front of the car made Chen Ming's heart clench.

Mingcheng!

It was Mingcheng!
Minglou's second brother, his adjutant!
"Adjutant Ming!"

"Lieutenant Ma!"

"Ming, the man is yours now—remember to return him to the person behind you after you've met him."

Mingcheng said with a smile:
"Lieutenant Ma, please don't worry."

Chen Ming didn't hear their conversation because a colossal conspiracy was brewing in his mind:

He secretly killed his own husband and wife, then claimed they had run away... Cold sweat instantly covered his entire body, but he was, after all, a veteran agent who had sailed through countless storms, and he quickly adjusted his mindset. He then silently gave Yu Xiuning a wink, believing that she would understand his meaning.

As expected, Yu Xiuning immediately realized what Chen Ming meant:
Be prepared, strike first!

Yu Xiuning chuckled inwardly; this fool was quite decisive at crucial moments.

But she quietly took Chen Ming's hand and shook her head slightly.

Yu Xiuning had one worry throughout the journey:
What if Zhang Anping deliberately orchestrated this to appease her, and then secretly executed himself and his wife?
The chances are extremely slim, but the lives of a family of three are at stake!
But now her only worry has disappeared, because Mingcheng came alone—that's sincerity!

After Lieutenant Ma and his men left, Mingcheng said with a smile:
"Sister Yu, shall we go?"

"Brother Chen, don't be silly, get in the car!"

Chen Ming was filled with questions. When did Mingcheng and his wife get so close?
Back when they were in the training class at Guanwang Temple and in Shanghai, their relationship with Mingcheng was actually quite good. But as Minglou and Zhang Anping turned against each other, and as Minglou took advantage of the situation and parachuted into Northeast China, the couple became like enemies with the eldest and second sons of the Ming family!

Chen Ming got into the car with a puzzled look on his face, urged by his wife. After getting in the car, he inexplicably smelled an extremely familiar scent. Yu Xiuning rolled down the car window with a look of disgust. Mingcheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car, saw this scene through the rearview mirror and suppressed a strange laugh.

Heaven knows how much suffering these things endured and how many strange looks they received as they carried them along the way.

Chen Ming kept sniffing, his eyes searching for the source of the scent. He was so familiar with this smell, so very familiar, that it was unforgettable. How could he forget it?

Seeing her husband's useless appearance, Yu Xiuning said irritably:

"Stop looking—it should be in the trunk!"

Chen Ming felt embarrassed, his mood becoming incredibly complicated—it was a small matter that he had recovered his pile of "insoles," but the problem was why Mingcheng was carrying them.

Moreover, why did Mingcheng, who should have been in Northeast China, appear in Shanghai and "kidnap" the couple?
"Honey, what's going on?"

"We'll talk about it once we're on the ship."

Boarding the ship?

Chen Ming was bewildered. What ship?

After changing cars halfway, Mingcheng drove the family of three straight to the dock.

When the ticket was taken out, Chen Ming couldn't believe his eyes—a ticket to America?
No, it's a ship ticket to America!
Escorted to America by his arch-enemy's adjutant?

What on earth is going on here?!
Chen Ming gritted his teeth, stubbornly refraining from asking his questions. Only after Mingcheng had arranged their room on the ship, silently shook hands with the couple, and left did Chen Ming lock the door and blurt out all his questions in one breath:

"Honey, what exactly happened?"

Why Mingcheng?

Why are we going to America again?

Why is this happening?

Yu Xiuning held down her extremely agitated husband:

"Someone wants you dead. I reached a deal with Minglou: I'll use some personnel and my own withdrawal in exchange for my wife and I leaving safely. That's all!"

This is certainly not the truth, but Yu Xiuning has no intention of telling the truth. She even plans to spend her whole life keeping the secret buried in her memory.

Someone wants you dead?
Are you a teacher?
Chen Ming sat weakly on the bed, completely lost and dejected.

After a long while, he murmured:

"But we shouldn't betray them!"

Yu Xiuning didn't speak, but gently hugged her husband's head—

She had considered betraying him, but her husband's current behavior said it all!
Even her husband, after learning that the teacher wanted him dead, said, "We shouldn't betray each other either." Would anyone believe the truth he had deduced?
And who can I tell this to?

And now, this is undoubtedly the best outcome.

She never let her teacher down, nor did she let her teacher down, nor did she let the couple down.

Let this secret remain forever buried in memory.

……

Mingcheng switched back to the car he had been driving—before that, he fired three bullets at the ground.

He then drove to the Air Traffic Control Department of the Shanghai Air Defense Command.

The head of the control office was Du Shijun, Du Yuesheng's nephew and Kong Jiatang's son-in-law.

It was because of him that the plane, which should have been flying to Nanjing, flew to Shanghai instead.

It was because of him that Yu Xiuning and her husband were taken out of the airport and handed over to Mingcheng.

Mingcheng was greeted by the same adjutant as before, Ma Tianxiong, Du Shijun's adjutant. Seeing that Mingcheng's car was empty, he asked in surprise:

"Lieutenant Ming, where is he?"

Mingcheng smiled slightly: "Deputy Officer Ma, you don't need to worry about that—please tell Director Du that I want to see him."

Seeing Mingcheng's confident smile, Ma Tianxiong's heart clenched, realizing that things might be spiraling out of control.

Why did Du Shijun "kidnap" Yu Xiuning and her husband?

The reason is simple: Mingcheng told him that the big shot behind him wanted to meet with Yu Xiuning secretly before she arrived in Nanjing, and the purpose was, of course, to deal with Zhang Anping.

Upon hearing this, Du Shijun immediately offered to help.

But now, it seems like everything has gone wrong.

"Director, we might have been tricked by Mingcheng!"

After meeting Du Shijun, Ma Tianxiong solemnly expressed his conjecture: "Yu Xiuning and her husband may have been killed by Mingcheng."

Du Shijun was stunned when he heard this:

"Huh? You killed him?"

Wasn't the plan to win them over?
Ma Tianxiong sighed inwardly, "He is not worthy of his position!"
"Director, Mingcheng is probably doing this to create the illusion that someone deliberately let Yu Xiuning and her husband go!"

Du Shijun was overjoyed upon hearing this:

"A false impression? Great idea! Isn't this framing Zhang Anping? Excellent!"

"But this has dragged you into it!"

“It’s no big deal. Zhang Anping and I are sworn enemies. Go and call Mingcheng over. It seems he has something to say—why didn’t he tell me about this sooner? I could have cooperated with him!”

Du Shijun wasn't angry at all at Mingcheng's audacity; instead, he complained that Mingcheng hadn't told him sooner.

Is he stupid?
Not stupid!

He knew, of course, that the pit was actually quite large.

But who is he?

Du Yuesheng's nephew, Kong family's son-in-law—corresponding cousin.

With such a powerful background, what is he afraid of?
Nothing happened when Zhang Anping was ignored for so long, and in the end Zhang Anping didn't dare to utter a single word. So what if we scheme against him now?
So, faced with this deep pit, Du Shijun plunged in without hesitation.

Their subsequent meetings went incredibly smoothly, so smoothly that Mingcheng found it unbelievable—this guy, he fell into the trap so easily?
However, considering that the other party had dared to make things difficult for Zhang Anping back then, just like the idiot, it seemed reasonable.

If he weren't so audacious, would he dare to make things so difficult for a renowned general?
Even his uncle wouldn't dare to scheme against Zhang Anping like this!
