Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Theoretically speaking, with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics controlling the telecommunications room and the central control room, and with a blockade on the outside, not even a fly could get out.

But this is only a theory.

In fact, as soon as the blockade was set in place, messages began to fly out.

The channel could be a telephone with its external line theoretically cut off, a radio that had long been scrapped, a simple manual relay, or even a walkie-talkie obtained from the Americans.

After the meeting in the small conference room, even more information, like a raging flood, "flew" out from the Bureau of Secrecy, which was under strict guard.

As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place.

In the course of various message transmissions, some people will be discovered by chance—but surprisingly, a considerable number of those who discover them will pretend they didn't see anything!

Of course, there are also stubborn loyalists who will report the news to their superiors, and the superiors will usually ask them not to tell anyone about it and indicate that they will investigate it secretly.

Therefore, most reports stop at this level—and very rarely, the "superior" continues to secretly report the information, but this information will ultimately stop at the superior's superior.

An astonishing scene unfolded:

Zhang Anping had not received a single report about the leak of information!

Does the Zhang faction lack loyal subjects of the party and the state?

Of course there are.

However, such loyal subjects of the party and the state are usually in the position of superiors of superiors. They can directly contact Zhang Anping, but if someone below them secretly passes on a message, they can only turn a blind eye.

Once they became blind, Zhang Anping naturally "couldn't receive" the messages.

……

City Hall.

"Mo Yi, your husband isn't picking you up from get off work today, is he?"

Chai Ying, who is Zeng Moyi's colleague, asked the question as usual.

Zeng Moyi, who was busy at work, had a sudden thought, and then replied as usual, "They didn't tell me, so they probably aren't coming."

"I've got my eye on a cheongsam. Let's go to the store after get off work and you can give me your opinion?"

"Great, that's exactly what I was thinking of buying."

Their conversation, which was as usual, naturally went unnoticed, but Zeng Moyi felt uneasy.

The "cheongsam" signifies an urgent situation, meaning that Chai Ying needs to communicate with her immediately.

This was a situation that had never occurred since she and Chai Ying became colleagues in the municipal government.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, and after waiting anxiously for about ten minutes, Chai Ying came to Zeng Moyi with a document in her hand:
"Mo Yi, could you take a look at this document for me?"

As Chai Ying approached, she whispered, "Hasn't Anping contacted you?"

As Zeng Moyi spoke about the contents of the document, she shook her head slightly.

Upon hearing this, a shadow fell over Chai Ying's eyes. Zeng Moyi probed with her gaze, and Chai Ying shook her head slightly, indicating with her eyes that she should find an opportunity to go outside and talk.

Chai Ying quickly found an opportunity to deliver documents. She and Zeng Moyi left their shared office and went to a secluded corner. Once they were sure it was safe, Chai Ying whispered rapidly:
“Anping personally ordered the sealing off of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. According to information, he wanted to arrest all members of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics from four stations in three locations, including northern Jiangsu.”

In theory, only Cai Jierong, Mingtai, and the eight people attending the meeting in the small conference room should know this news, but Chai Ying received four pieces of intelligence:
Two copies, one from Cai Jierong's side and one from Mingtai's side, were leaked out from the sealed-off Bureau of Investigation and Statistics!

But there was no message from Zhang Anping—actually, this was Zhang Anping's fault; he never imagined that he would one day trap himself in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The other comrades, each group had two ways to transmit messages under the blockade of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. This model was personally set up by Zhang Anping for the comrades, but he himself did not have it.

Zeng Moyi was stunned, not understanding the content for a moment.

It wasn't that she didn't understand, but rather that she instinctively thought of the answer and then couldn't believe it!
She looked at Chai Ying with a puzzled expression, and was completely stunned when she saw Chai Ying nod slightly.

No—were these four stations really mainly staffed by our comrades?

She was Zhang Anping's comrade-in-arms and wife, but when it came to the organizational structure of the Second Intelligence Group, she was kept in the dark. This wasn't a romance drama, but a brutal underground intelligence battlefield. Her duties meant she didn't need to know these things, so she naturally didn't know how vast and detailed the Second Intelligence Group had become.

Chai Ying gave Zeng Moyi a little time to process this shock.

She had personally witnessed this scene. After taking over the heavy responsibility from Lao Cen, she slowly came to know the enormous network of the Second Intelligence Group, and the shock she felt was still fresh in her memory. Compared to when she first took over, the Second Intelligence Group had undergone earth-shattering changes.

At that time, Mao Renfeng had comrades in the No. 2 intelligence group, but that was all.

Unlike now, he's practically a Party branch secretary.

In the past, to ensure Zhang Anping's safety, Mingjing was the first firewall and Zeng Moyi was the second firewall.

But now, Zhang Anping has only one firewall, and the name of this firewall is... Mao Renfeng!

Zeng Moyi, being Zhang Anping's wife, quickly regained her composure and realized why Chai Ying had sought her out. She then whispered:
"Should I go see Anping?"

"Yes, Anping must have made relevant arrangements."

"I understand—do you have any plans?"

"When you go to see the cheongsams, I've arranged for a gay-themed play; you just need to cooperate."

"Ah."

……

Headquarters of the Bureau of Secrecy.

Zhang Anping, who had transformed the central control room into the blockade command center, personally oversaw the operation.

He had to answer some calls personally, since this was the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and calls would come in from time to time, especially after the blockade was lifted, when powerful departments would call, and he had to deal with them personally.

In his spare time, Zhang Anping would slowly flip through a book, seemingly leisurely, but his hawk-like eyes would occasionally sweep over the room, making the busy operators in the control room dare not slack off in the slightest—some were even so nervous that they dared not make any small movements.

For example, secretly plugging in a wire to transmit a message...

The weight of the name Zhang Shih-hao was enough to make them abandon any underhanded tactics.

If information is leaked through the control room, people will question my abilities...

Zhang Anping, who was turning the pages of the book, could only apologize to those comrades whose palms were sweaty. As for the other female telephone operators who had taken the benefits and wanted to spread the news, he had no intention of apologizing.

I wonder how Mo Yi will come to see me.

At this point, Zhang Anping was also a little anxious. Theoretically, he could have taken his plan out through Mingtai, but he couldn't be sure of Mao Renfeng's reaction. If Mao Renfeng's reaction was beyond his expectations, the plan to take it out through Mingtai would backfire.

After Wang Tianfeng said that the three locations and four stations were "terrible", Zhang Anping immediately thought of several solutions. After careful consideration, he settled on four.

However, all four of these methods require Mao Renfeng's "cooperation".

If Mao Renfeng had chosen to cooperate out of fear, then some key personnel would have had to be evacuated and everyone else arrested before being put under investigation. For safety reasons, Zhang Anping had no choice but to make the difficult decision to imprison most of the comrades in the three stations and four locations.

Conversely, if Mao Renfeng had chosen a limited form of confrontation, then he would have employed a different strategy.

Mao Renfeng, on the other hand, has chosen a full-scale confrontation!
It was precisely because of the uncertainty surrounding Mao Renfeng, a crucial link, that Zhang Anping had to abandon the option of transmitting the contingency plan through Mingtai.

At this point, Mao Renfeng had already chosen full-scale confrontation, and Zhang Anping naturally hoped to make corresponding arrangements based on his choice—his wife should come quickly and take away his plans for Chai Ying to execute!
The switchboard light came on again, and the operator immediately reported:
"Director Zhang, it's a call for you!"

"Take it."

Zhang Anping put down his book and picked up the phone.

Are you Anping?

Chai Ying's slightly panicked voice came through the phone.

Zhang Anping frowned: "Miss Chai?"

“It’s me—” Chai Ying stammered on the other end of the phone, “Could you come pick up Mo Yi? Mo Yi and I… got into some trouble.”

"What's wrong?" "Mo Yi and I accidentally tore some clothes while arguing with someone, and the shop owner is demanding compensation. Well, we don't have enough money on us."

"By the way, Mo Yi asked me to sue you. She suspects the other party did it on purpose."

Zhang Anping was taken aback at first, then his expression immediately turned gloomy, as if he suspected something was amiss.

The agents don't believe in any coincidences!

Zhang Anping was aware of this, and Chai Ying on the other end of the phone was equally clear about it.
Therefore, Zhang Anping at this moment actually realized Chai Ying's true intention:
The one who "clashed" with the two of them must have been one of their own comrades. The purpose of doing so was to create the illusion that Zhang Anping was deliberately being lured away from the mountain. In the Nationalist government, where changing wives was common after becoming rich, Zhang Shih-hao was famous for protecting his wife. By deliberately clashing with Zeng Mo-yi, he seemed to be luring the tiger away from the mountain, but in reality, he was creating an opportunity for Zhang Anping and Zeng Mo-yi to have a proper meeting.

Given Zhang Shih-hao's vigilance, he would definitely investigate this matter. A thorough investigation would inevitably uncover problems, further proving that someone would stop at nothing to leak information, thus better concealing their true purpose.
Zeng Moyi and Zhang Anping's meeting.

safe!

With a sullen face, Zhang Anping suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is the place?"

After Chai Ying gave him a location on the phone, Zhang Anping immediately hung up.

"Trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Zhang Anping sneered and then ordered, "Go and get Zheng Yi—no, get me Wang Tianfeng from the director's office!"

The operator was puzzled as to why Zhang Anping had changed his tune, but still dialed the number as requested.

The call is connected.

"Old Wang, it's me."

"Ah."

"Mo Yi got into a fight with someone in a clothing store and is now being held captive and forced to pay compensation—" Zhang Anping said slowly:
"Go there for me and make the necessary compensation."

"But I'm very curious, who exactly would happen to have a conflict with Mo Yi? Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Tianfeng was initially taken aback by Zhang Anping's call, which seemed rather strange. However, after Zhang Anping said, "I'm very curious," his eyes widened in surprise.

"I see."

Wang Tianfeng's voice rose a few decibels:
"I am also very curious."

The loud voice was filled with murderous intent; someone was actually trying to use Zeng Moyi to lure Zhang Anping away from his predicament!

He already felt guilty, and now he wished he could rush over and bring the person back to be tortured.

……

At the entrance of a clothing store.

After a car screeched to a halt, Wang Tianfeng, wearing a top hat, got out alone and slowly walked into the clothing store. At the same time, more than a dozen plainclothes members of the Suppression of Rebellion Brigade got out of several cars that had already stopped in the distance. As soon as Wang Tianfeng entered the clothing store, they immediately stepped forward and began to block the area.

If it weren't Zeng Moyi inside the clothing, Wang Tianfeng would never have risked entering alone; instead, he would have chosen to directly block the area and capture her.

But it just so happens that Zeng Moyi is inside, so he has no choice but to risk going in first and taking her away only after ensuring her safety.

Unexpectedly, there were only three people in the store: Zeng Moyi, who looked calm; Zeng Moyi's companion, who looked anxious; and the store owner, who was trembling.

The reason why we are certain that Chai Ying is Zeng Moyi's companion is because Chai Ying is hiding behind Zeng Moyi with a pale face at this moment.

Upon seeing Wang Tianfeng enter, Zeng Moyi, with a calm expression, immediately said, "Tianfeng, hurry up and arrest them—a woman and two men just escaped through the back door, and they were carrying guns!"

Zeng Moyi then quickly and concisely described the physical characteristics of the three people, and after finishing, she added:

"Oh right, I saw a reflection in the mirror. Someone must have tipped us off!"

Wang Tianfeng was not surprised at all by Zeng Moyi's calm demeanor. Zeng Moyi was originally an agent of the Special Service Department and one of the earliest members of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group. If she hadn't married Zhang Anping, she would at least be a colonel now.

As soon as Zeng Moyi was speaking, Wang Tianfeng retreated to the door and made a gesture. While Zeng Moyi was speaking, the members of the Suppression of Rebellion Brigade rushed over. After Zeng Moyi finished speaking, with Wang Tianfeng's order, the plainclothes members of the Suppression of Rebellion Brigade chased after her.

After Wang Tianfeng and his men left, he said to Zeng Moyi, "It's dangerous here. I'll take you to see Anping."

"Shouldn't we not bother him?" Zeng Moyi frowned upon hearing this. "I suspect he's here for him."

Wang Tianfeng nodded: "Yes, they came for him, so you need to explain it to him in detail. Shall we go?"

"Alright then—please arrange for someone to take my colleague home; this has nothing to do with her."

Wang Tianfeng glanced at Chai Ying, whose face had turned pale, and nodded slightly.

Chai Ying clung to Zeng Moyi's clothes, clearly terrified. Zeng Moyi comforted her for a few moments before letting go. Finally, after watching Wang Tianfeng's men drive away with Chai Ying, she got into the car with Wang Tianfeng.

Wang Tianfeng asked about the journey while driving.

“Chai Ying and I came here to buy clothes. The other party was deliberately causing trouble. I didn’t want to pay attention to her, but she wouldn’t let it go, so I slapped her and ruined a few pieces of clothing.”

Zeng Moyi said, "She called her husband and brother, and they blocked us, demanding compensation. She even had a colleague call Anping and remind him that the other party was doing this on purpose—"

“Just before you came in, I saw the reflection in the mirror, and then they were about to leave. I tried to stop them, but they pulled out their guns.”

Did he pull out a gun?
Wang Tianfeng frowned. "Is it an underground party member?"
But his intuition told him that this didn't seem like an underground party.

Zeng Moyi was taken to the cordon outside the bureau headquarters. The people in the investigation department recognized Zeng Moyi and made a special call to Zhang Anping. Only after obtaining Zhang Anping's permission did they allow Wang Tianfeng to bring Zeng Moyi in.

In the control room, the couple met. Zhang Anping clearly suppressed the urge to approach Wang Tianfeng with concern and asked:

"Has anyone been caught?"

Wang Tianfeng shook his head.

The moment he shook his head, Zhang Anping's expression darkened, clearly on the verge of exploding. Seeing this, Zeng Moyi stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Anping's hand, and explained:
“Anping, this is not Tianfeng’s fault—Tianfeng came in alone, but before he came in, someone outside tipped him off, and the other party ran away.”

After listening to Zeng Moyi's explanation, Zhang Anping, with a gloomy expression, ordered: "Get Tang Zong from the police station."

"Director Tang, it's me."

Tang Zong on the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Director Zhang, it's rare for you to give me..."

"Director Tang," Zhang Anping interrupted, "I need your help!"

Tang Zong did not refuse: "Director Zhang is reluctant to speak, but now that he has, I will definitely help!"

"Is it alright to send police officers to help Wang Tianfeng find a few people?"

"Row!"

"I will have Wang Tianfeng contact you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Anping ordered Ye Xiufeng from the Party Communications Bureau to be picked up.

"Director Ye, I need to find a few people! The Party Affairs Bureau can send some, temporarily led by Wang Tianfeng, is that alright?"

Instead of answering, Ye Xiufeng on the other end of the phone asked, "Director Zhang, what kind of trouble is your Security Bureau causing?"

"I'll talk to you about this personally later—can the Party Affairs Bureau send someone now?"

"Row!"

After hanging up the phone with Ye Xiufeng, Zhang Anping's face was grim.
"Old Wang, we must catch him, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!"

Wang Tianfeng is no longer with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and Zhang Anping's actions clearly exceeded his authority, but neither of them cared about that.

"I try my best."

"Absolutely!" Zhang Anping glared menacingly at Wang Tianfeng. "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I need to know who these demons and monsters are!"

Wang Tianfeng nodded slowly.

At this moment, Wang Tianfeng didn't notice Zeng Moyi casually adjusting her handbag. (End of Chapter)
