Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Minglou, who is usually calm and composed, now feels a little uneasy.

Damn Zhang Kengkeng "detained" him.

According to his past experience, seven out of ten times when this guy contacts him, something bad is going to happen.

Looking at his elder brother's uneasy look, Mingcheng was really speechless. Whatever his elder brother did was calm and everything was under control. In the Wang Puppet Government, he could easily resolve all kinds of temptations, threats and struggles, but why did he always lose his composure when facing the teacher?

And the teacher is one of our own!

As he thought, so happened. Just as he was wondering why his elder brother couldn't "beat" the teacher Zhang Anping, he saw a stranger coming straight towards him. Mingcheng stretched out his hand to stop him, but the other party spoke a code word and made Mingcheng take a step back immediately.

A familiar voice, a strange face, who else could it be but the teacher?

Zhang Anping walked straight into the box, and when he saw Minglou sitting restlessly, he asked, "What happened?"

Ming Lou looked at the culprit who made him restless and said, "A night owl came into the house."

After hearing this, Zhang Anping touched his nose awkwardly.

It seems like... every time I go to Minglou, nothing good happens.

It is indeed a night owl that comes to the house.

Ming Lou just complained, and seeing Zhang Anping touching his nose in embarrassment, he skipped the topic and asked in a deep voice:

"What's going on? In northern Jiangsu, we fought the enemy hand in hand with the Kuomintang, but in southern Anhui, why did the Kuomintang surround our military headquarters and troops with heavy troops?"

[The timeline here is January 1, the first day of the Southern Anhui Incident. ]

The outbreak of the Southern Anhui Incident shocked China and the world. The Japanese were also shocked. As soon as the news came back, the Japanese made a big fuss about it, saying, "I want to join forces with the National Government to fight against the Communists."

Zhang Anping sighed and told the whole story.

As Zhang Anping spoke, Minglou's expression became more and more solemn. It turned out that from the very beginning, the National Government had been thinking of abandoning arms and turning to attack the New Fourth Army!
When he heard Zhang Anping say that Lao Dai had come to Shanghai, his expression suddenly became uncertain. Listening to Zhang Anping's story about how he had "taken over" the task of handling Ming Jing from Lao Dai, Ming Lou finally understood why he was so uneasy.

His hands couldn't help but clench the teacup. After a long silence, he asked:

"My sister...she, what do you want to do?"

"Fake your death and go to America."

"I'm asking how to fake her death? You just said you told him you would use a borrowed knife to kill her."

Ming Lou couldn't help feeling nervous - the three brothers were all raised by their eldest sister Ming Jing. To him, Ming Jing was like a mother, even though she was called an elder sister.

When it comes to Mingjing, he can't help but get nervous.

Zhang Anping noticed Minglou's nervousness and said, "Car accident——"

After a pause, he said, "This matter will be handled by Gu Shenyan. You will have to communicate with him for details."

Gu Shenyan's connections had already been transferred to Intelligence Group No. 2, but from Gu Shenyan's perspective, Zhang Anping was a Military Intelligence Bureau spy, and Ming Lou was also a Military Intelligence Bureau spy who was a traitor.

By letting Ming Lou and Gu Shenyan recognize each other and carry out this plan, Zhang Anping himself can be kept out of the situation.

Zhang Anping is not a person who is afraid of taking responsibility, but the special nature of intelligence work requires him to reduce the possibility of exposure as much as possible.

But Ming Lou was stunned: "Gu Shenyan, is he our comrade?"

He knew that Gu Shenyan was "one of our own", but this one of our own referred to the Military Control Commission's own people. He even had channels to contact Gu Shenyan, but he never thought that Gu Shenyan would be his comrade.

Zhang Anping smiled, but in Minglou's eyes, this smile seemed a bit "asking for a beating".

Although he had the urge to hit Zhang Anping for his smile, Minglou felt relieved. If the person who secretly manipulated the eldest sister to fake her death was not his comrade, it would be like trying to fish in troubled waters. But if the person who executed it was his comrade, the eldest sister's safety would naturally be much higher. He nodded and said,

"I see."

"You should explain the plan to Comrade Ming Jing. The plan will probably be implemented in the next two days. After receiving my signal, you should contact Gu Shenyan directly."

"it is good!"

Seeing Minglou was about to leave, Zhang Anping stretched out his hand to signal him not to leave yet, and paused, saying:
"After this incident, the Japanese will certainly have doubts about you. I hope you will keep quiet for a long time."

"The Shanghai station's affairs are handed over to Xu Tian for full responsibility. The Beijing-Shanghai area..."

Zhang Anping took a deep breath and said, "Beijing-Shanghai District, I'm worried that Old Dai will be assigned another position. Don't get involved in anything then. If they want to wake you up, put all the blame on me."

Ming Lou heard this and realized that Zhang Anping must have had a conflict with Old Dai, so he asked with concern: "What about your safety..."

"Don't worry, they'll punish me again this time, but they'll definitely let me experience the feeling of losing power."

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm different from you!"

Ming Lou solemnly warned: "You...safety first!"

Zhang Anping smiled and nodded to indicate that he understood.

……

After finishing the meeting with Minglou, Zhang Anping went to meet with Gu Shenyan.

He spent the whole afternoon making connections.

"Boss, you are here - please sit down, please sit down, I will pour you some tea."

After seeing Gu Shenyan, Gu Shenyan still instinctively flattered him, and this respectful attitude continued without fail. Even if it was a piece of stone, it would be warmed up by Old Gu, and he treated Old Gu as his confidant.

It’s a pity that Zhang Anping is not a stone.

"Old Gu, let's get down to business—"

Gu Shenyan was somewhat speechless at Zhang Anping's refusal to accept such servility, but when he heard Zhang Anping talking about serious matters, he immediately made a gesture of listening attentively, truly demonstrating the true qualities of a serious and down-to-earth subordinate.

"Mingjing, do you know?"

Gu Shenyan immediately replied: "I know, she is Deputy District Chief Ming's biological sister and the chairman of the Ming Group."

Zhang Anping said: "She is a Communist."

Gu Shenyan acted surprised: "What? She is actually a Communist?"

He was genuinely surprised, as he could not have imagined that Minglou's biological sister was actually his comrade. But then he thought of the kindness and love that this comrade usually showed, and felt that it was very normal - the backbone of our party is made up of people like this, isn't it?

"She also has a code name, 'Katyusha'."

Gu Shenyan was shocked. The code name "Katyusha" was once the focus of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai branch, but no trace of it was found until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. The code name seemed to have been forgotten - but given the nature of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it would definitely not be forgotten.

Zhang Anping did not forget about it and even found this comrade.

Gu Shenyan's mind raced as he pondered Zhang Anping's purpose. He was 80% sure that Zhang Anping wanted to borrow a knife.

As expected, Zhang Anping then said:

"I actually discovered her a long time ago, but for Ming Lou's sake, I let her go. I didn't expect that this person would be so ungrateful and continue to provide assistance to the Communist Party."

"This time, she secretly obtained the Viper Plan from Ming Lou. Although the Japanese believed in the Viper Plan due to some strange coincidences, this cancer must be eradicated as soon as possible!"

Zhang Anping said coldly: "I originally wanted to use the action team to kill this man, but considering Deputy District Chief Ming, I am worried that it will affect unity. I want to use the Japanese to accomplish this!"

"Do you understand what to do?"

Gu Shenyan smiled knowingly: "Chief District Officer, don't worry, leave this matter to me."

"solve quickly."

"Yes!" Zhang Anping ended the meeting and stood up to leave. After Zhang Anping left, Gu Shenyan's expression became solemn.

One reason was because of the exposure of his comrades, and the other reason was Zhang Anping's transformation. He was benched after the fall of Shanghai, but was re-activated by Zhang Anping, although he was arranged to "lie in wait" in Chongqing for a period of time.

But he has served under Zhang Anping for quite some time.

In his opinion, although Zhang Anping was a diehard, during the period before and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he had sent many undercover agents to the base, but he never used the Japanese to deal with the organization.

This is also why he admires Zhang Anping. Even though he is a big spy, he admires such principles.

But unexpectedly, now Zhang Anping has started to use the Japanese as a tool!

This is the middle...did something happen?

After finishing the meeting, Gu Shenyan thought about how to break the impasse. No matter what, he could not do anything to hurt his comrades, even though he was now the director of the Shanghai Security Bureau and such things were inevitable in the future.

After thinking it over again and again, Gu Shenyan decided to save Ming Jing by concealing the truth.

But there is a crucial issue here. After Ming Jing fakes his death, he must cut off contact with the Ming family. Otherwise, once exposed, his identity will be exposed.

Therefore, he must first report to the organization and obtain its cooperation.

He immediately contacted his superior through his courier.

……

Intelligence Group No. 2 is always evolving.

As Lao Cen's status in the Military Control Commission increased (the Propaganda Department was equivalent to an intelligence station), Lao Cen, the nominal head of the No. 2 Intelligence Group, could not be personally responsible for all members, so he was only responsible for the core members.

And Gu Shenyan is one of the core members of the No. 2 Intelligence Group.

In the past, when they met, the two did not meet in the form of recognition. Instead, they chose to meet without contact in the confessionals of several churches in rotation, and the two sides did not see each other.

But this time, Lao Cen chose to meet Gu Shenyan in a secret teahouse.

After receiving the contact code, Gu Shenyan was still surprised. He could not have imagined that Cen Yuyan, the head of the Propaganda Department, who was independent of the Beijing-Shanghai system, was actually his superior!
After the shock came excitement. After suppressing his excitement with great difficulty, he talked about the reason for requesting a meeting this time.

Old Cen listened to Gu Shenyan's story with a serious face - he actually knew all of this, and Zhang Anping had even communicated with him about it, but he still pretended to have just learned about it.

It’s not that I don’t trust Gu Shenyan, but this is how the intelligence industry works, and only in this way can we ensure the safety of our comrades as much as possible.

After listening to Gu Shenyan's report and his own thoughts, Lao Cen "thought" for a while, and said in a deep voice:
"Comrade Postman, there is something I want to communicate with you."

After Gu Shenyan adjusted his sitting position, he motioned to Lao Cen to speak.

"Ming Lou, deputy district chief of the Beijing-Shanghai District, is our own comrade, codenamed Cobra."

"Ah?" Gu Shenyan opened his mouth in shock.

"Talk to Comrade Mi Naja about Comrade Mingjing's matter, and the two of you will implement it together. You must ensure Comrade Mingjing's safety."

Lao Cen gave serious instructions.

Gu Shenyan straightened his body and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will communicate well with Comrade Cobra."

Lao Cen told him that Ming Lou was one of his own, obviously because Ming Jing was extremely important, and he naturally understood the meaning behind it.

"I will go find Comrade Ming Lou later, and he will contact you then. You must be extremely cautious in carrying out this matter and ensure the safety of your comrades."

“I understand—” Gu Shenyan nodded again and said, “There is one more thing…”

He talked about Zhang Anping's change and asked, "Did something happen to change his attitude? In the past, he would not do such a thing."

Old Cen sighed and talked about Miao Fengxiang. In his story, Miao Fengxiang had naturally been executed by Zhang Anping himself.

Gu Shenyan also sighed when he heard this.

After the two finished their communication, Gu Shenyan left. While waiting to leave, Lao Cen took Gu Shenyan's reminder to heart - perhaps he could use the comrades of the Shanghai underground party to reveal the news of Zhang Anping's transformation.

[However, we have to wait until Comrade Mingjing fakes his death and leaves before we can use this as an excuse to spread the news.]

……

Ming family.

When Minglou's car arrived home, Minglou got off and went home first, while Mingcheng drove to the garage to park.

"Humph, Deputy Director Ming is here."

Ming Jing, who had already returned home, snorted coldly and expressed her anger again - although the brother and sister had already recognized each other's identities, Ming Jing still remained angry towards her brother whether at home or outside.

After all, there were several servants in the house, and even though they knew each other well, they did not dare to show any abnormality because of the previous "lone wolf".

The only thing that allowed them to put away their disguises was the small ancestral hall.

Minglou smiled apologetically to his elder sister as usual, and made a secret gesture to her silently, and Mingjing understood.

During the subsequent dinner, the three brothers talked to each other. No one knew what they said that irritated Ming Jing. Ming Jing angrily dropped his chopsticks:

"Three unfilial bastards! Kneel down in the ancestral hall!"

The three brothers looked at each other again. Mingtai looked at his eldest sister's angry back as she left and fanned his mouth with his hand:

"What a mouth I have!"

He actually realized something - during the conversation, it was his elder brother who deliberately shifted the topic to the Wang Puppet regime, and he followed suit, and as expected, he successfully "got" the opportunity to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Okay, brother, we need to hold a family meeting!
The three brothers gave up their jobs with a look of grievance, and walked towards the ancestral hall with sighs. Minglou and Mingtai even accused each other of causing the eldest sister's displeasure. Mingcheng acted as a middleman as usual...

Mingjing returned to her boudoir angrily and waited patiently for more than half an hour. Then a servant started knocking on the door. With Mingjing's permission, the servant came in with three extra meals.

"Miss, please don't be angry. The young master and the others..."

"Aunt Zhao, stop saying good things to these three good-for-nothings! Take the things back! Don't even feed them to the dogs!"

Ming Jing was still angry, but after the servant's words, Ming Jing seemed to have calmed down. After saying a few idle words, she asked casually, "Didn't these three rascals sneak out?"

"No. Miss, the three young masters really listened to you. They didn't eat much today. This..."

Faced with the servant's embarrassment, Mingjing snorted a few times, and finally showed a look of heartache. He complained, "If they all listened to me, how could they become traitors?" and took the plate with his hand disobediently.

The servant laughed secretly. The eldest lady has always been like this. She always says one thing and means another to the three young masters. When she heard that they didn't eat much, she immediately became restless.

Mingjing sent the servant away, carried the food tray downstairs and walked towards the small ancestral hall.

The small ancestral hall is a forbidden area for the Ming family. Ming Jing has always cleaned it personally and strictly forbade servants to enter. This also makes the small ancestral hall a good place for the family to hold secret meetings.

When Ming Jing pushed the door open, the third brother was kneeling obediently in the small ancestral hall. A servant saw this scene from not far away and secretly took note in his heart - this man was Zhao Ma's husband. He was not a professional agent, but was bribed to monitor and report every move of the Ming family.

"Okay, stop pretending!" Ming Jing said unhappily after closing the door - he didn't even kneel down on the kneeling mat!

Mingtai stood up first, took the plate from Mingjing's hand with a smile, said, "Eldest sister loves me the most", then handed the other two to the eldest and second oldest, and then began to eat voraciously.

Ming Lou had no appetite. After taking the bowl and putting it aside, he said in a deep voice:
"Sister, you...are going to die once."

Mingtai, who was eating voraciously, stopped using his chopsticks in surprise. With his mouth half full of food, he glared at his elder brother Minglou.

Mingjing was not too surprised because the last time Minglou confessed his identity to her, he said that she had been exposed.

She knew that this day would come sooner or later. (End of this chapter)
