Chapter 525 Chang Tai's decision to attack Zong Yuan

Niu Kun stood in the dim interrogation room, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. Guo Ai had been tortured beyond recognition, but no matter what kind of torture they used, he always acted as if he knew nothing. This made Niu Kun feel an unprecedented sense of frustration. He felt like he was punching cotton and couldn't exert any strength.

"This bastard! Does he really know nothing?" Niu Kun slammed his fist on the table angrily, causing the teacups on the table to jump up.

The men looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew that the director's anger had reached its peak. An officer spoke cautiously, "Director, could it be that we really arrested the wrong person? Guo Ai's performance is indeed like that of an ordinary teacher."

"Bullshit!" Niu Kun shouted angrily, "Our intelligence cannot be wrong! There must be something wrong with this Guo Ai! Keep interrogating him! I don't believe he can withstand our methods!"

The men dared not speak any more and could only continue to torture Guo Ai. However, no matter how hard they tried, Guo Ai refused to give in. His will was as strong as steel, which surprised everyone.

At this time, in a farm in the suburbs, Zhu Feng and Bai Juxuan also received the news that Guo Ai had been captured. Their faces suddenly became solemn, and their hearts were filled with worry.

"Old Guo...can he bear it?" There was a hint of trembling in Bai Juxuan's tone.

Zhu Feng didn't say anything, he just clenched his fists tightly, with angry fire flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Guo Ai was a man of firm belief and will, and he would never betray the organization. However, he also knew what kind of torture Guo Ai would suffer. As partners who had fought side by side for many years, they felt very uncomfortable.

"We must find a way to rescue him!" Deputy team leader Fang Zhengwei's voice suddenly rang out in the quiet farmhouse. His tone was firm and his eyes were sharp. As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Zhu Feng sighed deeply, his brows knitted, his eyes revealing deep worry: "We have a more important mission on our shoulders, and we must not act rashly because of our relationship with Lao Guo. This action by the Military Control Commission is by no means accidental. They must have laid a net throughout Luangong City, waiting for us to fall into it."

His words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the anger in Fang Zhengwei's heart. Fang Zhengwei's eyes widened, and he angrily slammed the table, but his voice was trembling a little: "Are we just going to watch Lao Guo die? Fuck his grandma's Military Control Department!"

His voice echoed in the air, carrying endless grief and helplessness. However, he also understood that the current situation was indeed not optimistic. They could not sacrifice more people to save one person, and they could not let personal feelings affect the overall situation.

At this moment, Bai Juxuan's voice broke the silence: "Zhu Feng is right. We can't act on impulse. We must find a way to inform Zong Yuan of this news. I estimate that the Military Control Commission is likely to take action against him."

Niu Kun stood in the office of the Military Control Commission. The sky outside the window was getting dark, but his mood was even heavier than the night. He held a report on the interrogation of Guo Ai in his hand, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of fatigue and helplessness.

"Director, Guo Ai still hasn't said anything." Niu Kun handed the report to Kang Ming with a hint of frustration in his voice.

Kang Ming took the report, glanced at it hastily, and then slammed it down on the table: "This bastard! He's such a tough nut to crack. Could it be that his accomplices have really escaped?"

Niu Kun shook his head: "Our people have searched the entire Luangong City, but still can't find any trace of Zhu Feng and Bai Juxuan. It's like they disappeared into thin air."

Kang Ming's face became even gloomier: "These enemy intelligence officers are as cunning as rats. They can always find our loopholes. But now, we don't have time to waste with them anymore."

Niu Kun nodded: "Yes, Director. We must take action as soon as possible, otherwise the traitor Zong Yuan is likely to surrender to China."

Kang Ming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I decided to report the situation here to Minister Chang and see if he has any instructions."

Soon, Kang Ming called Chang Tai.

At this time, Chang Tai was sitting behind a large desk, answering Kang Ming's call with a serious face.

"Minister Chang, there has been no progress in the interrogation of Guo Ai, and Zhu Feng and others have disappeared without a trace. If it drags on, Zong Yuan will formally surrender to China!" There was a hint of anxiety in Kang Ming's tone.

Chang Tai frowned: "This Zong Yuan is a traitor! We must not let him get what he wants, otherwise, other people who are waiting and watching will also become disloyal."

Kang Ming nodded in agreement: "Yes, Minister. We must find a way to stop him."

Chang Tai was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Kang Ming, listen carefully. I authorize you to find a way to take action against Zong Yuan. No matter what, you can't give him the opportunity to surrender to China."

A hint of surprise flashed across Kang Ming's eyes, but he quickly concealed his emotions and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Minister. I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Chang Tai nodded and said, "Go ahead. I want to hear good news as soon as possible."

Please describe next. As the commander of the 16th Army, Zong Yuan can be said to be the controller of the entire Luangong City. With the military power in his hands, it is conceivable how difficult it would be to take action against Zong Yuan.

But the Military Control Commission had already made careful arrangements in advance. Huang Guangtai had already left a backup plan when the Southern Government was on the decline. Zhang Lin, the commander of the guard battalion beside Zong Ze, was actually a chess piece planted by Huang Guangtai.

Zong Yuan has a very high prestige in the 16th Army. Using Zhang Lin to attack Zong Yuan is their only chance. As long as Zong Yuan is eliminated, they will immediately nominate a new army commander to replace him and stabilize the situation in Luangong City.

The sun was high in the sky, and Fang Zhengwei cast a long shadow in the sunlight.

He changed into a coarse cloth, wore a bamboo hat, and hung a few baskets of mountain products on his back, pretending to be a farmer who came to the city to sell goods. The gate of Luangong City was looming in the night, and the soldiers guarding the city yawned and glanced at the passers-by from time to time.

Fang Zhengwei was feeling uneasy, but he knew that he had an important mission. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and walked towards the city gate.

"Stop! What are you doing?" the soldier guarding the city shouted, pointing his gun at Fang Zhengwei.

Fang Zhengwei quickly put on a smile and replied respectfully: "Sir, I am a farmer from the mountains. I came to the city to sell some mountain products for some money."

The soldier looked him up and down, and seeing that he was dressed simply and there was nothing suspicious about him, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don't linger here."

Fang Zhengwei was delighted and quickly quickened his pace. He passed through the city gate and entered Luangong City. The prosperity of the city was in sharp contrast to his coarse clothes, but he had no intention of appreciating it. He was only thinking about how to sneak into the 16th Army's base.

He walked carefully along the street, observing the surroundings from time to time. He knew that he was walking on the edge of a knife and his identity might be exposed if he was not careful.
