Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

The police station and headquarters staff arrived at the dilapidated hotel before the staff from the distant Fuchang Hotel.

The truth is not that the people from Fuchang Hotel didn't come, but that they were unaware that their "base" was under attack.

First, from the perspective of most of the agents at Fuchang Hotel, this was indeed a place where underground party traitors were imprisoned, and they dared not leave their posts without permission.
Secondly, even the very few people who knew the truth were unaware that the real traitor was being held in a small hotel not far away—they knew of another place, which was also a trap. If someone actually went there, these very few people who knew the truth would become the subjects of the investigation.
Although these very few people in the know had phone contact with the small hotel, the phone lines were forwarded to the hotel. If the investigation were conducted solely from the telephone exchange, the phone number they knew was indeed from the place they knew—which was another trap.

In conclusion, it is evident how cautious Wang Tianfeng was in using this method of detaining people.

But now, this cautious approach has been proven wrong...

Useless!

Zheng Yi arrived at the small hotel with reinforcements from headquarters. Looking at the ruins inside the hotel and the seven corpses that had been carried outside, Zheng Yi's heart clenched.

Although she knew Zhang Anping was alright, the horrific scene was still beyond her imagination.

She rushed upstairs and, upon seeing Zhang Anping covered in dust and dirt, immediately began to examine him carefully. Only after confirming that Zhang Anping was unharmed did she scream:

"Doctor, take Dr. Qu to get a checkup!"

“No need—” Zhang Anping stopped Zheng Yi, sitting on the dusty bed with a gloomy face, like a prehistoric beast that was about to open its bloody maw to devour everything. He then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. If it weren’t for the growing chill all over his body, an uninformed person would have thought that he had already fallen asleep.

The people around didn't dare to breathe, and even instinctively took a few steps back.

Seeing Zhang Anping's attitude, Zheng Yi had no choice but to give up. He then found a "participant" at the scene and began to inquire about what had happened.

On the other side of the small hotel, Shen Zui and Cai Jierong, the head of the special operations team, were recounting the battle—or more accurately, the one-sided beating—from the other "parties involved."

Undoubtedly, the person involved must have come to a renewed understanding of the danger at the time during the recounting process.

"If it weren't for Commander Zhang's repeated predictions, we would probably have been wiped out."

There was no time to think about it during the fierce battle, but now, looking back, every "participant" is filled with admiration for Zhang Anping.

It was indeed a defeat, but without Zhang Anping, it wouldn't have been a defeat; it would have been a one-sided massacre.

The first grenade saved most people's lives because Zhang Anping warned them in advance and allowed everyone to retreat before the danger arrived.
It was Zhang Anping's warning that prevented them from foolishly rushing forward to get blown up by the grenades later on.

Otherwise, just three grenades would have wiped out most of them.

After listening to the "person involved's" account of the battle traces, both Shen Zui and Cai Jierong wore solemn expressions.

"It's him!"

Shen Zui couldn't help but think of the person who made him feel ashamed whenever he saw a fish. It could only be him!

Cai Jierong said with lingering fear, "A master, an absolute master. If it weren't for Director Qu, all the brothers here would probably have been in trouble this time."

After they finished speaking, their expressions darkened even further.

It seems that the ongoing pursuit and manhunt of such a master is futile.

Of course, Cai Jierong was actually relieved.

He was worried that this comrade might be defeated in the ongoing manhunt, but now he was sure he was overthinking it. Given this comrade's tactical awareness, no matter how much the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics paid attention, even if all the troops of the Garrison Command mobilized, they probably wouldn't be able to catch a single hair on his head.

Shen Zui murmured, "How exactly did he find this place?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Jierong said, "I just asked around, and none of the brothers at Fuchang Hotel know about this place. He attacked Fuchang Hotel and then found this place so quickly—there are many suspicious points here."

Shen Zui couldn't help but look at Wang Tianfeng not far away. He wanted to ask Wang Tianfeng if he had any ideas, but for some reason, he didn't want to face his friend who had come back from the dead.

Shen Zui sighed: "I'll talk to Tianfeng."

Although he didn't want to face it, he had no choice but to.

But the resentment in my heart could not be dispelled—I treated you like a brother, and it was fine that you kept your faked death a secret from me, but after the underground party exposed your faked death, you never took the initiative to see me. What does that mean?!

He walked slowly toward Wang Tianfeng, and as he was mentally organizing his words, he saw Zheng Yi stride menacingly toward Wang Tianfeng.

Snapped

While Shen Zui was dumbfounded, Zheng Yi slapped Wang Tianfeng across the face without hesitation.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed, plunging the entire small hotel into a deathly silence.

Shen Zui's mouth was agape, and he didn't even realize when he had stopped.

As for Wang Tianfeng himself, he was clearly stunned by the slap. His usually calm face showed a shock he had never seen before—even when the explosion came from behind him and Cai Xiaoqiang was scattered in pieces, he had never shown such an expression.

"Wang Tianfeng, what are your true intentions?"

Zheng Yi glared angrily at Wang Tianfeng: "You repeatedly caused trouble for the district commander before, and the district commander's many passive situations were all because of you!"

"Now, you've put the district head in even greater danger!"

"Have you thought about the consequences? What are your true intentions?!"

Zheng Yi had a rather aggressive demeanor, and her anger was naturally due to the fact that she had learned the whole story from the "person involved".

She already harbored many grievances against Wang Tianfeng, and after learning the general outline of the matter, she naturally placed all the blame on him:
The stronghold on Ninghai Road was attacked. Knowing that the enemy was after the undercover agent in your hands, why did you still bring Chief Qu here?
A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. You, Wang Tianfeng, knowing full well that the enemy was trying to deal with the traitor, brought the district commander to a place where he was at risk of being attacked by the enemy. What were your intentions?

Wang Tianfeng concealed the shock on his face and looked at Zheng Yi with a gloomy expression, but Zheng Yi's fiery eyes did not stop there; instead, his anger intensified.

"Zheng Yi, go to the hospital first and visit the injured brothers for me—while you're at it, have the personnel department complete the procedures so that the files of all the brothers involved this time are transferred to headquarters."

Zhang Anping stepped forward at this moment, speaking as calmly as possible, thus ending the standoff between his two trusted confidants.

Zheng Yi responded, but before leaving, he still glared angrily at Wang Tianfeng. Although Wang Tianfeng remained calm, a violent rage was brewing in his eyes.

Zhang Anping stammered, a rare occurrence: "She, she, she's just confused because she cares."

Wang Tianfeng remained silent, simply lowering his head, too ashamed to face Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping patted Wang Tianfeng on the shoulder, gesturing for him to come and squat in the room with him.

At this moment, Zheng Yi rushed down the stairs that had been ravaged by grenades. Just as he was about to get into his car to go to the hospital, he saw several cars drive into the scene with the permission of the surrounding police.

After glancing at the license plate and seeing that it belonged to Mao Renfeng, Zheng Yi frowned. Was this guy here to cause trouble?

"go!"

She simply got into the car.

Seeing Zhang Anping's car speed away, Mao Renfeng exclaimed in astonishment, "He's gone?!"

What did he come here for?

If Zhang Anping leaves, what's the point of putting on a show!
Sitting next to him, Qiu Ning immediately said:
"It was Secretary Zheng alone."

Mao Renfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good—are the reporters almost here?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ning immediately asked, "Director, should I go and keep watch? I'll bring them in when they arrive."

Mao Renfeng nodded slightly: "Yes—after everything is over, treat these reporters well. Make sure things are handled neatly, understand?"

Faced with Mao Renfeng's request, Qiu Ning readily agreed.

In fact, the "bad" idea of ​​inviting reporters to interview and witness the event was Qiu Ning's idea.

The idea itself was a task assigned to Qiu Ning by his superiors.

When Qiu Ning received this task, he was completely dumbfounded. Mao Renfeng wasn't stupid; how could she possibly choose to expose the secret service's true colors for others to observe, study, and comment on?

But when the "big event" actually happened, he made this suggestion to Mao Renfeng indirectly, and Mao Renfeng was "overjoyed".

It was only then that Qiu Ning realized how accurate his superiors were in judging people—Mao Renfeng was a bureaucrat in the traditional sense. In his mind, his own position was more important than anything else. As long as it could strike at his political enemies, even if it meant harming Mao Renfeng's own interests, he would be happy to do so as long as the loss was far greater than the loss to his political enemies.

As for exposing the secret service's secrets to others for observation, research, and commentary, Mao Renfeng didn't think it was a big deal as long as it allowed him to stay in office for a while longer.

Watching Mao Renfeng's retreating figure as she entered the hotel, Qiu Ning thought to herself:
Since that's the case, let's make the fire bigger.

Under the protection of guards, Mao Renfeng slowly walked upstairs. Looking at the ruins and the busy technicians, she glanced at Zhang Anping and Wang Tianfeng sitting opposite each other in a guest room. After a few seconds of contemplation, Mao Renfeng's face flushed red, and she said in an indignant tone:

"Disgraceful! Absolutely disgraceful!"

"Our Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has countless secret outposts, why would we choose such a place? It's utterly shameful!"

Since Director Mao had already started criticizing, Zhang Anping naturally couldn't have missed it. He got up and slowly walked out. Wang Tianfeng made a move to follow, but saw Zhang Anping shake his head, indicating that he shouldn't come out.

Mao Renfeng has always been a vengeful person, and the grudge between Wang Tianfeng and him is no small matter. Wang Tianfeng going out will naturally be asking for trouble.

Zhang Anping emerged with a grim face and spoke mercilessly to Mao Renfeng, who had been spouting nonsense:

"Director, watch your words."

"I'm furious, I'm furious—Anping, what are you doing? Why did you have to cause this mess here when we have so many strongholds to use?"

Mao Renfeng, in a relatively calm tone, uttered words that were utterly incisive:

"The Fuchang Hotel was frequented by powerful officials, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities of our Party and State. You used it as bait to lure the enemy—that's one thing, but this small hotel is located in a bustling area, and yet you insisted on detaining people here." "Now that this has happened, the whole of Nanjing knows. Those reporters are all shrewd; I've already sent people to negotiate with the newspapers and am trying my best to appease them to prevent them from causing trouble at this time—tell me, how could you do such a stupid thing?!"

Fuchang Hotel was chosen by Wang Tianfeng, and so was this place—which aligns with Wang Tianfeng's work habits: he only considers calculations and doesn't care about anything else.

The Fuchang Hotel was chosen because it was a gathering place for celebrities, wealthy businessmen, powerful officials and dignitaries, which did not meet the conditions for digging a pit, so the opposite approach was taken.

I chose this small hotel near the Fuchang Hotel because it was dark under the lamp.

Since Fuchang Hotel is a trap, the opponent will instinctively eliminate this area.

Such considerations are indeed without any problems if other factors are not taken into account.

However, other factors are an important point that cannot be ignored—the reason why Mao Renfeng came to cause trouble with such a strong fighting spirit is because the incident occurred at and near the Fuchang Hotel, which would have a great impact, and this is the space in which he could push things along.

Moreover, this gesture clearly belongs to Wang Tianfeng.

Since Wang Tianfeng is essentially a "dead man," and he hasn't used the Security Bureau's own resources, this is a perfect opportunity to target him.

Given Zhang Anping's personality, he would definitely protect Wang Tianfeng to the death. In the end, Zhang Anping would have to take the blame himself, and then Wang Tianfeng could take the opportunity to teach Zhang Anping a lesson.

As long as Zhang Anping is branded with this crime, someone will want to promote him to the top position, and he will have no reason to do so for the time being.

As long as Zhang Anping cannot be promoted to the top position for the time being, Mao Renfeng's position is secure!

This led to Mao Renfeng's current "enthusiastic" attack.

What he hopes for most now is for Zhang Anping to say that this was not his doing. As long as Zhang Anping dares to say that, Mao Renfeng will dare to take down Wang Tianfeng immediately.

Hesitating even for a moment is disrespectful to Zhang Anping for daring to shirk responsibility!
How could Zhang Anping let Wang Tianfeng have his way?
Or rather, as the real mastermind, how could he not know Mao Renfeng's purpose? Even Mao Renfeng's current schemes have the help of Zhang Anping's guidance, so how could he not have considered them?

He shouted angrily, "Enough!"

"Now is not the time to assign blame!"

Mao Renfeng chuckled inwardly. The furious Zhang Anping was indeed full of flaws.

"Anping, I was too excited just now, please forgive me," Mao Renfeng surprisingly admitted her mistake, but the next second her true intentions were revealed:

"By the way, what exactly is the identity of the Communist traitor imprisoned here?"

"What exactly did he confess?"

Faced with Mao Renfeng's words, Zhang Anping chose to remain silent.

"Anping," Mao Renfeng's already weak tone became even weaker, as if she were pleading:

"As the director of the Bureau of Secrecy, I didn't ask about this before because I trusted you, but now that things have come to this, are you still going to keep it from me?"

Seeing this, Zhang Anping had no choice but to reply, "Director, it's not that I wanted to hide it from you..."

"Weren't you trying to hide it from me?" Mao Renfeng interrupted Zhang Anping:
"Such a big thing, and I, the director of the Security Bureau, knew nothing about it from beginning to end. Isn't this just trying to hide it from me?"

His tone began to rise, commonly known as becoming tinged with anger:

"In order to maintain secrecy, you've only used people who aren't from my Security Bureau. Aren't you trying to hide things from me?"

"It's one thing to keep it from me, but you haven't trusted any of my secret service members from the very beginning. What are your intentions?"

"Now that a problem has arisen, what will outsiders think?"

"Would outsiders think it's because you don't use members of the Security Bureau?"

"No!"

"Outsiders will only say that our Security Bureau is incompetent!"

One big hat after another was put on him, and even with Zhang Anping's thick neck, he couldn't keep up with all the hats.

"But the entire Secret Service was kept in the dark!"

"Even now that things are like this, you're still trying to hide it from me! Are you going to make the Secret Service clean up your mess without ever knowing anything from beginning to end?!"

"What kind of utter nonsense is this?!"

Mao Renfeng's move directly put Zhang Anping on the opposite side of the entire Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Not only that, but they also absolved themselves of all responsibility—of course, outsiders would say it was the incompetence of the entire Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but to those in the know, it was obvious who was incompetent.

Zhang Anping looked intently at Mao Renfeng:
"Is it because I don't trust you, Director Mao? Is there a problem?"

He unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, his gaze sharp as lightning:

"Isn't it true that you, Director Mao, are more likely to cause trouble than accomplish anything?"

"I had kept this a secret perfectly, so why was it suddenly exposed to the enemy's sight after Qiu Ning got involved?!"

"Mao Renfeng, what are your intentions?!"

Zhang Anping went all out, dragging Mao Renfeng into the mess.

"joke!"

"Isn't this all because you secretly employed those useless people behind the backs of the Security Bureau?"

Mao Renfeng was never afraid of arguing with Zhang Anping, especially since he was in the right. He didn't care that Zhang Anping wanted to drag him into it.

The bigger the commotion gets, the more passive Zhang Anping will become if he tries to protect Wang Tianfeng; he is very clear about this.

"Now that there's a problem, you're trying to shift the blame onto me? All the credit goes to you, Zhang Anping, but the blame falls on the entire Security Bureau?"

"joke!"

The two dropped their pretense and began communicating using the language of swords and blades.

Upon seeing this, the other busy people in the hotel immediately moved away from the battlefield where the two were clashing, and some even went so far as to plug their ears.

Are these words even worthy of their attention, little Karami?!

Inside the guest room, Wang Tianfeng closed his eyes, his whole demeanor becoming even more somber.

Undoubtedly, the reason Zhang Anping broke ties with Mao Renfeng was to protect him—Mao Renfeng was actually targeting Wang Tianfeng, and as long as Zhang Anping was willing to withdraw, this matter would have nothing to do with him.

But Zhang Anping chose to confront him head-on, and the reason was Wang Tianfeng.

The core reason why Zhang Anping was accused of so many serious crimes is that Wang Tianfeng did not use agents from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but instead used former agents from the Military Intelligence Bureau transferred from the police station. This lack of legitimacy is the key issue now.

In order to protect him to the death, Zhang Anping could only escalate the conflict.

This reminded Wang Tianfeng of Zheng Yi's slap.

A deep sense of frustration washed over me, as if darkness itself was about to engulf me.

But as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly.

Just as Zhang Anping and Mao Renfeng were exchanging barbs, the flashbulbs suddenly went off.

A large group of reporters entered, led by Qiu Ning!

Zhang Anping, covered in dust and dirt, and Mao Renfeng, who looked like a fighting rooster—the material is hilarious!

The reporters rushed over without hesitation.

Their target was Zhang Anping—Zhang Anping was a controversial figure, still the subject of much discussion regarding his corruption case. Despite his seemingly innocent and pure image, Zhang Anping remained a sought-after interview subject for reporters.
There were too many reporters, and many of them couldn't squeeze through, so they had no choice but to reluctantly approach Mao Renfeng.

Compared to Zhang Anping, Mao Renfeng has almost no redeeming qualities, but rather a lot of flaws.

However, Zhang Anping completely ignored the reporters' "attack".

On the contrary, Mao Renfeng revealed a shocking secret.

In response to the reporter's question:
"Director Mao, what's your opinion on this incident?"

At this moment, Mao Renfeng, who resembled a fighting rooster, angrily replied:

"This is an utterly stupid and foolish operation directed by an idiot!"

"Because some idiots didn't trust the members of my Security Bureau, they used useless people who had been dismissed from my Security Bureau, which led to the leak of intelligence and resulted in an important CCP defector being silenced before he could reveal important information!"

"Fool! Stupid! Utterly foolish!"

"People like that should go home and take care of their children!"

Normally, Mao Renfeng shouldn't have done this.

But don't forget, Mao Renfeng had just had a heated exchange with Zhang Anping, and Zhang Anping even tried to smear Mao Renfeng, suspecting that Mao Renfeng was involved in leaking secrets. In this situation, Mao Renfeng was so angry that she lost her "reason" and spoke recklessly.

Mao Renfeng: Tell me, is my reason sufficient or not? (End of Chapter)
