Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

In the International Settlement, at the home of Xu Tian, ​​who goes by the alias Yu Lan.

Faced with Zhang Anping's sudden visit, Xu Tian, ​​who had been unemployed for a long time, was not surprised. Instead, he calmly invited Zhang Anping to the study, poured tea for Zhang Anping, and sat there without saying a word.

Zhang Anping drank tea quietly, cup after cup, and suddenly said:

"I've been here for so long, and I've only come to you now. Do you resent me?"

Xu Tian shook his head.

Zhang Anping laughed at himself and said, "You are the type who doesn't want to get involved in trouble. It was me who schemed against you time and time again, and finally got you involved in this cruel war. Now you are free from trouble, right?"

Xu Tian still shook his head, but gave an answer:

"No one is immune from this war."

Zhang Anping sighed upon hearing this and fell silent again.

After a long time, he suddenly said:

“Are you a Communist?”

Xu Tian did not show any strangeness, but just looked at Zhang Anping deeply. After a long time, he shook his head to deny it.

Zhang Anping smiled, but then asked, "But why did you tell Wang Tianfeng that you might be a communist?"

After Zhang Anping came to Shanghai, Lao Wang "gave him a fatal slap in the face."

Lao Wang said: Xu Tian’s father-in-law Tian Luning is an underground party member, and Xu Tian’s wife Tian Dan is an underground party member. Is Xu Tian an underground party member?
Zhang Anping responded to Lao Wang's "slap" by acting as if everything was under his control, but that night he asked Chai Ying to immediately find out what was going on and why Wang Tianfeng had discovered the identities of Tian Dan and Tian Luning.

It was impossible for Chai Ying to be careless about what Zhang Anping confessed, but what was shocking was that no matter how Chai Ying investigated, she could not find out which link had gone wrong.

Chai Ying's investigation yielded no results. Zhang Anping, who had received the news, turned his attention to Xu Tian. A conjecture that shocked even himself came to his mind:

Xu Tian told Wang Tianfeng about this through some means!

Xu Tian still had no expression, but Zhang Anping keenly sensed a hint of relief in his expression.

He whispered, "I wonder what will happen to me?"

Zhang Anping closed his eyes upon hearing this and remained silent for a long time.

In the past, he thought Xu Tian was definitely going to join the organization.

He already had a good impression of the organization, and his wife was one of his own. Moreover, Xu Tian had his own ideas and was not the kind of person who was extremely cold-hearted.

Especially since Xu Tian had already confirmed the identities of his wife and father-in-law, he tried to cover it up.

At the same time, Xu Tian had already met with comrades from the underground party and had secretly extended a helping hand to them many times - all this made Zhang Anping instinctively regard Xu Tian as one of his own.

But Zhang Anping did not act hastily, but waited for the right time.

But he had planned everything, but he never expected Xu Tian to do this!
But with Xu Tian's question, Zhang Anping suddenly realized why Xu Tian did this.

In traditional Chinese education, or in the bones of the Chinese people, there is an idea that "a scholar will die for his friend."

Although Xu Tian studied in Japan, he still holds this idea.

And in his eyes, who is Zhang Anping?

Big spy?
It’s not just that simple!
It was Zhang Anping who brought him into this business, but it was also Zhang Anping who gave him 100% trust.

Station chief of Shanghai Station, military rank of colonel - these were all manifestations of Zhang Anping's trust in him.

And in Xu Tian’s eyes, that side is good, but this side... is not bad either.

There are people like Zhang Anping who are working hard to patch up the country, and countless people are sacrificing their lives for the country.

He is a member of this side. He has comrades who are trustworthy and superiors who have full confidence in him and entrust him with important tasks.

So what should he do?

What can be done?!
Continue with this unclear identity?
He chose another way, revealing his identity implicitly and waiting for the final result.

Of course, Zhang Anping was also convinced that Xu Tian was not a conservative person.

He must have found a way out for Tian Dan and Tian Luning. Once Zhang Anping wanted to do something bad to them, Xu Tian would send them away right under Zhang Anping's nose - and he himself would have to face Zhang Anping's wrath.

Death plan!

Xu Tian must have noticed Wang Tianfeng's plan, so he took this opportunity to finally resolve his dilemma.

For Xu Tian, ​​the worst outcome would be to become an abandoned pawn in the death spy plan. This way, he would no longer suffer from psychological torture and it could be regarded as a way to repay Zhang Anping's kindness to him!
After thinking this through thoroughly, Zhang Anping had the urge to pick up Xu Tian and beat him up.

Although Xu Tian had such a dilemma and made such a decision, the biggest reason was Zhang Anping himself. However, if he was not quick-witted, Xu Tian's "troublemaking" behavior might have killed him!

砰

Zhang Anping slapped the table angrily:

"What do you want?"

Zhang Anping lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Xu Tian!"

"I never doubted you. Even though I knew the identity of your wife and your father-in-law, I never doubted you!"

"I even tolerated their existence!"

"But...what do you want?"

Zhang Anping's questioning made Xu Tian close his eyes.

Sure enough!

Everyone at the Shanghai station, including Xu Tian, ​​has an indescribable faith in Zhang Anping.

If the sky were to fall now, each of them believed that their superiors would be able to find a way!
It stands to reason that this kind of emotion would not appear in an extremely smart person like Xu Tian, ​​but the longer he works under Zhang Anping, the more "faith" he will have!
In this situation, Xu Tian was...pessimistic about whether Zhang Anping had mastered the identities of his wife and father-in-law.

He believed that there was a 90% chance that Zhang Anping had grasped the situation.

He never said it out loud, on the one hand because he valued himself, and on the other hand, he was holding back.

Coupled with the inner torment, Xu Tian finally chose to take the initiative.

Now, Zhang Anping's words confirmed his guess.

"I don't know either." Xu Tian shook his head:
"I will not give up my lady."

"But I don't want to betray you either."

Yes, he didn't want to betray a confidant, even though the ideas there had unparalleled appeal to him.

So, he threw the problem to Zhang Anping.

Zhang Anping panted like a cow, staring at Xu Tian fiercely. After a long time, he said angrily:

"You don't want this, you don't want that. Don't you know that if you want everything, you will lose everything?"

Xu Tian remained silent, but how could he not know?

But all he could do was to use his own 150 kilograms to give an explanation.

"asshole!"

Zhang Anping was irritated by Xu Tian's fearless attitude. He cursed him fiercely and turned his head away, as if he didn't see it and wasn't bothered by it.

Xu Tian waited quietly, waiting for a promise from Zhang Anping.

How could Zhang Anping not know Xu Tian's purpose? After putting on enough drama, he finally pointed his head at Xu Tian again.

"I can pretend I don't know about your wife and father-in-law's affairs."

"I can also...promise that I will give them a chance to leave."

After a moment of silence, Xu Tian whispered:

"Thank you."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zhang Anping stood up and left, cursing. Before he left the study, he turned around and said, "Get to work right now!"

"Ah."

Xu Tianqing nodded and watched Zhang Anping leave with his eyes.

This result was exactly what he expected. This boss who was famous for being a big spy and his own mentor, chose to turn a blind eye out of his love for talent.

The hidden danger that was causing him torment disappeared.

A hint of self-mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't know whether his decision was right or not. Intellectually, he preferred his wife's side - because the more he understood her beliefs, the more he felt that was the future. But in the end, it was hard for him to abandon the man who had been "pitting" him.

Now, at least we can wait safely until the day of victory.

"Perhaps, I may not be able to wait until that day, so why should I care about the future?"

After muttering softly, Xu Tianyin disappeared the only trace of mockery on his face. Although he had no expression, compared with before, he was now full of endless fighting spirit.

Compared to Xu Tian, ​​whose fighting spirit was renewed, Zhang Anping, who left Xu Tian's house, was extremely solemn.

He calculated everything, but he made one mistake:

Under his repeated leadership, his people regarded him as their “faith”!
Xu Tian may be a very small microcosm of the future - in the future, many of his soldiers may have the opportunity to choose light, but in the end they will continue to be stubborn because of him, Zhang Anping.

It’s not that they don’t understand the greater good, but they will stubbornly go down a path to the end. All they want is to “die for their friend”!
They are willing to follow me with their lives;

I must give them a proper explanation...

……

The conflict between the Okamoto Company and the secret service continues.

Generally speaking, even if the Okamoto Company was upgraded to a semi-official organization with a strong naval background, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg if it went head-on with the secret service.

But who made Okamoto Heiji have such unimaginable potential power in the secret agency?

What's more, Okamoto Heiji has a huge interest group standing on his side. With the secret care and help of these people, the secret agency has been repeatedly defeated. In addition, many senior officials have been imprisoned and at least half of the middle-level officials have been investigated. The Ito agency, which has been wrapped in a turtle shell in the face of the Military Control Commission, has reached the point where the morale of the people is demoralized.

The fact that they were forced to end the search for Yang Shuquan showed that the Ito Agency was on its last legs.

But what about the facts?

The fact is that the arrested high-level and middle-level officials of the Ito Agency have all gone from open to covert. Although it seems that a large number of spies of the Ito Agency have been investigated, the core forces have all "mysteriously disappeared" - they were all investigating and controlling in secret.

Okamoto Mansion.

The disguised Ito appeared in Okamoto Heiji's study. After lighting incense on the memorial tablet, he knelt in front of Okamoto Heiji.

Ito said, "Okamoto-kun, I'm very confused now."

Ito is really conflicted.

In the large-scale operation to search for Yang Shuquan, the secret service agencies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces achieved certain results.

This achievement refers to the capture of members of the Military Control Commission.

But only the secret service in Shanghai did not achieve any success, which is understandable, after all, the opponent was Zhang Shihao.

But ever since the Ito Agency and the Okamoto Company had a falling out and were in a state of hostility, Zhang Shihao seemed to have relaxed his guard. As the core members of the Ito Agency took advantage of their detention to go from open to covert, during the period before the Military Control Commission ended its search for Yang Shuquan, they actually got hold of several clues about the Military Control Commission.

Ito's intuition told him that something was wrong.

Because the flaws that the man named Zhang Shihao easily revealed were most likely traps.

But the cooked duck is right next to your mouth, you can eat it just by moving your mouth!

This made Ito feel very conflicted.

Eat or not?
Eating, he always felt it was a trap.

Of course, it’s right in front of you, how can you not eat it?

"Mr. Ito, what do you mean?" Jiang Sian opened his eyes and stared at Ito: "Are you regretting it?"

"No—" Ito shook his head and talked about the current situation.

Jiang Sian was stunned for a long time after hearing this before shaking his head and saying:

"I can't understand it either."

"My intuition tells me that our little move must have been anticipated by Zhang Shihao."

"But... the meat is brought to my mouth again, and I don't understand."

Ito sighed. He originally thought that with Okamoto Heiji's understanding of Zhang Shihao, he might be able to give him advice or make him aware of blind spots that he had not noticed, but Okamoto was the same as him.

He said goodbye in a lack of interest, but just as he stood up, he heard Okamoto Heiji say:
"Ito-kun, let me tell you a story."

"Please enlighten me."

Jiang Sian glanced at Tsukamoto Seiji's tablet and said with a sigh:

"I discussed a question with Chief Takeda - why did Zhang Shihao choose 'death'."

Ito suddenly became alert.

He knew that the "death" that Okamoto Heiji mentioned was referring to the successful assassination of Zhang Shihao by Tsukamoto Seiji.

“Finally we came to a conclusion:
When Tsukamoto first took office, he learned from my teacher's lessons and adopted a strategy of advancing step by step, not being greedy for credit, and not being reckless. However, Zhang Shihao's layout often liked to lure the enemy deep into his territory and lead the opponent by the nose.

Tsukamoto's strategy hit Zhang Shihao's weak spot.

So, he chose 'death'."

Ito listened intently.

In fact, he had had similar understandings, so he naturally would not be fascinated by what Heiji Okamoto said about something he understood.

He was waiting for Okamoto's next words.

Okamoto Heiji said: "So, I think what Zhang Shihao expects most from us is that we will rush forward and rush forward, and what he least wants to see is that we will proceed step by step."

"Perhaps, he is opening a pocket right now, and the meat that is delivered to your mouth is the bait to lure you into the pocket - a bait that you cannot refuse."

Izuku's eyes lit up.

This explanation completely resolved his concerns.

Jiang Sian said modestly at this time: "Ito-kun, this is just my guess, I hope it won't interfere with your judgment."

Ito stood up again and bowed deeply to Okamoto Heiji: "Thank you for your guidance, Okamoto-kun. I appreciate your guidance!"

After saying that, Ito left.

Jiang Si'an shouted, "Ito-kun, no matter how big the bait is, remember that there is a pocket behind it that can eat people!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

……

After returning from Okamoto Mansion, Ito Masashi finally made up his mind.

eat!
Now that the meat is right in front of you, how can you ignore it?
If this is a bait, can't you just eat the bait?
No matter how great the temptation behind is, can't you just ignore it?
The three rhetorical questions strengthened Ito's determination. At his command, the spies of Ito's agency hidden in the dark set out one after another.

Overnight, four Military Control Commission strongholds were captured and 23 people were arrested.

After an all-night interrogation, a huge bait was placed in front of Ito Masashi.

"Chief, I request the immediate arrest of Wang Tianfeng!"

One of the men said excitedly:
"I am 80% sure that I can capture this man!"

Ito Masashi finally understood his opponent's plan.

Wang Tianfeng, former acting district chief and current deputy district chief of the Military Control Commission’s Shanghai District!

The bait thrown out by his opponent Zhang Shihao was this person.

In other words, all his actions and calculations did not escape Zhang Shihao's eyes, but the other party took this opportunity to use his own hands to eliminate a political enemy - Wang Tianfeng!

No wonder Okamoto Heiji was so sure that there was a pocket behind the bait.

He knows this opponent too well!

Ito, who had originally vowed not to steal money, was shaken at this time.

The price of digging into someone's pocket is to capture the deputy director of the Military Control Commission's Beijing-Shanghai District. Should he dig into this pocket or not?

Drill, this will be the biggest victory of the secret service against Zhang Shihao since the occupation of Shanghai!
Drill, this will also act according to Zhang Shihao's script - I am just a puppet from beginning to end!
No drilling?

If he doesn't drill, Wang Tianfeng will continue to fight for power with Zhang Shihao.

[With Zhang Shihao's methods and ruthlessness, Wang Tianfeng would be like a moth to a flame if he fought against him. It would be better for me to let him fight! ]

Ito made up his mind:
"Catch! We must catch Wang Tianfeng!"

"Please rest assured, Chief, I will definitely catch this beast!" (End of this chapter)
