Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

The Bureau of Secrecy, its headquarters.

When Zhang Anping was taken away, the entire headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was filled with a profound sense of sorrow—whether they were from Zhang's faction or not, they all witnessed the funeral dirge of a loyal minister of the Party and the State.

Fortunately, the results of the raid were available on the same day. When the news came, everyone in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, except for Mao Renfeng and a few core cronies, was truly shocked.

That man, who had zero tolerance for corruption, also held himself to high standards—human beings, after all, yearn for beautiful things.

Only a few people who were well-versed in political maneuvering believed that Zhang Anping would not be able to escape so easily, but most people believed that the Party and the State would definitely release Zhang Anping.

As most people expected, Zhang Anping went home openly and legitimately after the press conference ended!

But this only puzzled the small group of people who were well-versed in power politics. There was no reason for them to release Zhang Anping so easily!

But in any case, everyone thought it was about time for this to come to an end.

But all their assumptions, once published in the morning newspaper, became fodder for ridicule.

All the major newspapers tacitly avoided making the director's press conference their headline, and they all tacitly glossed over Zhang Anping's matter—the secret service agents were dumbfounded. Didn't the higher-ups understand that doing so would make the people think they had been fooled?
Did they not know that doing this would instantly turn the already pure and innocent Commander Zhang into a black crow?
absurd!

absurd!

Many people are indignant and even feel deeply sorry for Zhang Anping—they have witnessed Zhang Anping's ability to make money, more than once, and just a few months ago, he easily amassed so much wealth.

It's even easier for him than dealing with the Japanese!

Yet, this very man's family had fallen so low that his wife was used as jewelry.

After his innocence was proven, an immense and despair-inducing force distorted the truth, not only removing it from the newspapers but also subtly spreading accusations against him.

hateful!

Wrong!

I thought these things were frustrating enough, but I never expected something even more frustrating to happen...!

"Something terrible has happened! A student march has gone to Director Zhang's house!"

No one knows who leaked this news, but it instantly ignited the flames of anger throughout the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Whether they were agents from Zhang's faction or not, at this moment they all had only one thought:
These students... have gone too far!

"Section Chief, shall we go to Commander Zhang's house to maintain order?"

That's a roundabout way of putting it; most people would say:

"Sir, some thugs are trying to storm Deputy Director Zhang's house. How can we stand idly by?"

"Brothers, grab your guns! Come with me! This isn't fair!"

The crowd is furious!
This is not hard to understand. After all, Zhang Anping's reputation had been damaged by the recent turmoil within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, coupled with Mao Renfeng's successful promotion and subsequent accusations of Zhang Anping being a hypocrite. However, this raid on his home has reversed his reputation once again. The Zhang faction has become a behemoth within the Bureau and within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. As a member of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, it is truly unacceptable for someone to raid Zhang Anping's home.

Faced with this scene, Shen Zui, the only one in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics who knew the truth, chose to remain silent. He was not plotting against Zhang Anping, but rather wanted to see what people were really thinking!
He now has no way out but to follow Zhang Anping's lead, and he has become known as "Old Shen." As a self-proclaimed general of Zhang's faction, he naturally has an obligation to purify Zhang's faction.

He was also prepared to stop the team at a crucial moment.

After all, Zhang Anping had already left, and the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics had no need to confront the enraged student group directly at this point.

Soon, more than a dozen teams of over 300 people were organized, but just as they were leaving the headquarters, Mao Renfeng and a group of high-ranking officials blocked the main gate.

Mao Renfeng really didn't want to get involved in this mess—let the people below go if they wanted, he, Mao Renfeng, didn't care!
However, this was an order from the section chief.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and stop people—but stopping people at this time would be more than just a loss of character.

But what could he do when the section chief gave the order?
Now he is in a precarious situation, and his only hope is that the chief aide will consider Zhang Anping's current resentment and not let him gain power easily. Only in this way can he temporarily keep his position. However, if he angers the director, he may be held accountable for both old and new grievances.

They had no choice but to bring along a group of high-ranking officials to stop the people.

"Director Mao!" Cai Jierong, the captain of the special operations team, was the first to speak out: "Someone intended to storm the district governor's home, and you stood by and did nothing, so we had nothing to say. But now you're stopping us... I'm afraid we can't argue with that!"

Nima!

Mao Renfeng was furious. Did you expect me to pounce on Zhang Anping and lick his boots?

But he was also quite envious of Zhang Anping for having such subordinates—his Mao faction was now strong and well-equipped, and they could switch places with each other. In such a situation, who in the entire faction would dare to stand up and question Zhang Anping?
At this moment, Mao Renfeng naturally couldn't hold Cai Jierong's rudeness against him. He softened his tone and concealed his signature smile:

"Brothers, let me say this first—after I finish, if you still want to go, then please do as you please!"

Cai Jierong, representing the group, replied, "Alright! Director Mao, go ahead and say it!"

“I stopped you not to stand by and watch those people storm Deputy Director Zhang’s house, but because of the director’s orders—the director has already sent people to oversee the police station, and the police station will find a way to stop them.”

"If our Security Bureau goes there now, no one can guarantee that a conflict won't break out due to anger—and if a conflict does occur, then the blame will fall on Deputy Director Zhang!"

Is this what you want to see?

Mao Renfeng's words silenced the indignant crowd. Was there any truth to it?
Yes, absolutely!
But why does it feel insincere when Mao Renfeng says these words?

I thought it was all just a bubble... No, it was all a scheme.

Shen Zui, who had been hiding in the shadows, knew it was time for him to make his appearance, otherwise Mao Renfeng would appear "righteous and awe-inspiring."

He made his timely appearance:

"Everyone, the District Chief just spoke to me on the phone. He has left the Zhang family with his family. Please return to your posts—the District Chief has never been one to let personal matters interfere with public duties. You... should not disappoint him!"

After Shen Zui's words, Cai Jierong was the first to turn and leave, and the others followed suit.

After the crowd dispersed, Mao Renfeng happily stepped forward to Shen Zui and said, "Director Shen, it's fortunate that you came out at the crucial moment."

Shen cursed Mao Renfeng inwardly for his harsh words, asking what he meant by "coming out at the crucial moment."

On the other hand, he said respectfully:
"Sorry, Director, the department is late."

Mao Renfeng said magnanimously, "It's alright, it's good that we stopped them, so as not to cause any trouble for Anping."

Shen didn't want to waste any more time with Mao Renfeng, so he said goodbye and left. No sooner had he left than Zheng Yaoxian stepped over to Mao Renfeng and whispered in her ear:
"This guy has been watching it the whole time."

Mao Renfeng nodded slightly but did not speak.

After calming the enraged crowd at headquarters, Mao Renfeng felt a sense of relief, but fate seemed determined to play tricks on him—not long after, a chilling message arrived:

"Chief, something terrible has happened—thugs have stormed into the Zhang family's house and are smashing things up!"

Mao Renfeng was so startled that she almost fell.

Although someone at headquarters had previously claimed that thugs had stormed Deputy Director Zhang's home, he knew they were just a group of students. Students, at worst, could only block the door and protest or shout a few words; what else could they do?

But now, they've actually stormed into Zhang Anping's house and started smashing things?!

This, this, this...

"What is Tang Zong good for?!" Mao Renfeng's expression twisted: "Are all the police officers employed by the Police Headquarters useless?"

……

Zhang family.

The students who were leading the group stood in the Zhang family's house, looking at the mess, and their frustration was indescribable.

How could they be so stupid?
Those wicked people who deceived them are truly hateful!

"Classmates, we cannot let the bad guys who take advantage of us succeed, and we cannot let them get away with it!"

One of the students in charge said through gritted teeth, "We must find a way to bring them to justice!"

Someone suggested, "Why don't we organize the students and carefully search for those bad guys?"

“That’s a good idea. Strangers are very conspicuous in our group. Before, everyone thought they were like-minded partners and didn’t pay attention, but now that we’re investigating, we can definitely find specific people—they may run away, but they can’t hide!”

"No—we're being too slow; they could easily escape before we do!" the student in the lead said through gritted teeth.
"I'm going to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to turn myself in—Classmates, you need to do some ideological work with the other students. Next, we need to cooperate with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to arrest all these bad people who are using us, without catching a single one!"

Students are easy to manipulate, but that doesn't mean they can only be manipulated. If I get angry, I'll flip the table!

"Huh? The Secret Service? That's hell on earth!"

"It's not like I haven't been in there before—I was arrested by the Security Bureau before, but they still released me. This time we were just being used. Even if they want to investigate, we were just being used. But it's not satisfying if these bad guys aren't caught!"

Seeing that his companion said this, the others thought it made sense.

“I’ll go with you! I’ve been arrested by the secret service before anyway.”

"I am coming too!"

Several loyal classmates spoke up, but were stopped by the ringleader:

“I can go by myself—if you see Mr. Zhang Anping, please apologize to him for me, and I will find a way to compensate his family for the losses.”

"This is something we did together, how can we let you be the only one to pay for it?"

After some debate, the students reached a consensus—the student in charge would immediately go to the Security Bureau to "turn himself in," while the others would stay put, explaining their situation and recalling the unfamiliar faces they had encountered, trying to find as many clues as possible before the Security Bureau arrived.

As for compensation, it will be handled by the students who led the team.

They are not short of money; they are indeed not short of money.

What the students didn't know was that at that very moment, outside the Zhang family's house, two foreigners were silently watching this scene.

"Zok, I really can't believe that the Nationalist government would let their role model fall to this level!"

Zorc remained silent. He had brought his journalist friend to interview Zhang Anping today—public opinion in China was raging, and the situation in the United States was no less dire.

The reversal in Zhang Anping's case has American newspapers going wild.

He was initially thought to be a greedy and insatiable villain, but it turns out that he is actually a moral exemplar so incorruptible that he commands respect. In contrast, the Nationalist government's distortion of the truth and the insatiable greed of the four major families make this news a sensation.

He had originally just sold the information to the Post, but somehow the Post knew about it before it was even published—someone had leaked the news ahead of time.

These damned thieves directly reprinted news from some Chinese tabloids, causing the Post's attempt to cover up a major scandal to nearly fail.

This almost drove the Post to its knees, forcing them to beg Zorc to bring reporters to interview Zhang Anping.

After all, reprinted news is not as eye-catching as first-hand interview material.

But who could have imagined that when they arrived at the Zhang family's doorstep, they would see the Zhang family being attacked—this was completely beyond their wildest imagination.

"I think if Zhang Yao saw the Zhang family like this now, he would be heartbroken!"

Zorc sighed, "A loyal general, yet he has been suppressed time and time again. This Nationalist government..."

"Thankfully, Zhang isn't here."

Zorc recalled the time when Zhang Anping took him on a "wandering" trip and chuckled, saying, "He has a sense of smell even sharper than a fox."

The reporter friend countered, "Then why was he taken down by that section chief?"

There is an old Chinese saying: "If the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die." I think Zhang sensed the danger, and he had no other option.

"It's a strange rule, but I think this kind of character will be more popular with our readers. I can't fall behind those damn thieves this time. You told me all this, do you mind if I write it all down?"

Zorc shrugged: "Of course I don't mind!"

……

Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The Zhang family's house was vandalized!

Although Zhang Anping's family members were not present, the impact of this incident was no less than that of Zhang Anping's initial arrest.

When Zhang Anping was arrested, there were still doubts about his integrity.

But now Zhang Anping has been proven to be incorruptible through the search of his home—he should have been treated as a moral exemplar and a benchmark for the Party and the country, but what happened?

They were almost openly smeared by mainstream newspapers!

and then?
His house was vandalized!

As the ancients said, "When the world is about to perish, monsters will surely emerge." These monsters do not refer to demons or monsters, but rather to the reversal of right and wrong, the confusion of black and white, the collapse of rites and music, and the loss of basic morality.

Good people don't get good rewards!

Given the poor performance of the National Revolutionary Army on the battlefield, many people began to think that the country was doomed.

But the anger remained, and even intensified.

"That's not a student, that's a thug!"

Some people are trying to shift the blame:

"I think they're members of the underground Communist Party!"

Normally, these spies would gladly throw mud at anyone, but this time someone openly objected:
Would underground Communist Party members be so unscrupulous?

silence……

The spies were used to the dark side, so how could they not know that such a thing must have a mastermind? The fact that the students could find Zhang Anping's house so easily was as suspicious as a louse on a bald man's head!
How could the underground Communist Party do such a thing?
So who he is is self-evident.

This is also why they were angry, but never went to the Zhang family's rescue as they had before—not only because the Zhang family had no one, but also because they realized that this was a power struggle, and without someone to take the lead, they would just be pebbles thrown into a big wave.

But at that very moment, someone broke into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

"I want to surrender!"

"I led the raid on Mr. Zhang Anping's home—I'm turning myself in!"

After barging in, the man started shouting at the top of his lungs right in the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

At this moment, Shen Zui looked out the window with a blank expression and saw the young man shouting outside. He felt that the young man looked extremely familiar.

The secretary, with an even better memory, immediately answered Shen Zui's question:

"Chief, his name is Kang Peng. He was arrested by us before for being a fake underground party member—his father is now Commander Kang of the Garrison Division."

Of course, he was able to be outmaneuvered by Mao Renfeng before because his father was not yet a division commander, but now he is!

Shen Zui's gaze suddenly turned deep.

Since this person is here, then the unlucky guy who made the district chief apologize to each and every household last time is probably still here, right?
Those people are ruthless enough to use these naive and foolish young masters, who were once tricked by the Secret Service, as weapons!

Looking at the young students throwing a tantrum in the courtyard of the bureau headquarters, Shen Zui revealed a chilling sneer:

However, they don't seem to realize that these seemingly foolish young masters are actually quite clever!

Those who scheme against others will always be schemed against! (End of Chapter)
