Chapter 524: Arrest Operation Guo Ai Arrested

Kang Ming stood at the entrance of the tunnel, his expression looking stern and resolute. He turned around and told his men, "Split into two teams. One team will chase down the tunnel and make sure to find the two spies! The other team will immediately head to the base in the west of the city, where there may be their accomplices."

"Yes, Chief!" The subordinates responded in unison and took quick action.

Kang Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He knew that this operation was of great importance and could not be sloppy. He had to ensure that all the northern bandits and spies were caught in one fell swoop, leaving no future troubles.

At the same time, in an ordinary house in the west of the city, Guo Ai, who was ostensibly a teacher, was preparing lessons in his study. He had no idea that he had become the target of the Military Control Commission.

Guo Ai buried his head in front of his desk, writing freely on the rice paper with his brush. He sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes nodded and talked to himself, completely immersed in his own world. The wind outside the window blew gently, causing the curtains to flutter gently, but all this did not attract Guo Ai's attention.

At this moment, a quick knock on the door broke the silence of the study. Guo Ai raised his head with a puzzled expression on his face. He put down the brush in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Who?" Guo Ai asked.

"Mr. Guo, we are from the city defense army. We need to consult you about some matters." A strange voice came from outside the door.

Guo Ai's heart tightened. He knew that he didn't have much interaction with the city defense army. It must be strange that they suddenly came to his door. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Please wait a moment."

Guo Ai turned back to the study, feeling uneasy. He knew he might have been exposed, but he couldn't be sure if these people were really from the city defense army. He had to be careful and not put himself in danger.

Guo Ai quickly tidied up the study, hid some important documents and items, then walked to the door and opened it.

The door slowly opened, and a dazzling light shone into the dim study. Guo Ai squinted his eyes, and what came into his sight was an officer in the uniform of the city defense army. He stood in front of the door, his back to the light, making his face a little blurry. Behind the officer, a dozen soldiers lined up neatly, their eyes like torches, staring closely at Guo Ai.

Guo Ai was shocked, but he forced himself to remain calm, with a puzzled smile on his face: "Sir, is there any misunderstanding? I am just an ordinary teacher. I usually stay at home and rarely go out. I have never had any conflicts with anyone."

The officer did not answer, but waved to his soldiers. The soldiers immediately stepped forward and surrounded Guo Ai. Their movements were swift and powerful, and they were obviously well-trained. Guo Ai had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he knew that he might have been targeted.

At this moment, the officer took a step forward and walked into the study. A cold smile appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed a compelling aura: "Misunderstanding? Since I can bring people to your door, there can be no misunderstanding. If you know what's good for you, you'd better tell me the whereabouts of your accomplices honestly, otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death. By the way, let me introduce myself. I am Niu Kun, the deputy director of the Special Operations Department of the Southern Military Command!"

Guo Ai's face turned pale instantly. He knew in his heart that he had nowhere to escape. But he still tried to stay calm. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Sir, you may have found the wrong person. I really don't know what you are talking about."

The officer sneered. He walked up to Guo Ai, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Wrong person? Do you think I would arrest someone without any evidence? To tell you the truth, we already have all your information, including your true identity and your accomplices."

Guo Ai's body trembled slightly, but he still pretended to be calm: "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about."

The officer shook his head, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes: "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Well, I'll show you the evidence." As he said that, he took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Guo Ai.

Guo Ai took the document and saw that it was filled with dense handwriting, as well as his photo and photos of some people he had never seen before. He was panicked, but he still tried to stay calm and looked at the contents of the document carefully.

The officer looked at Guo Ai's reaction and felt proud. He knew that this document was enough to expose Guo Ai's flaws. He was waiting for Guo Ai to collapse and reveal the whereabouts of his accomplices.

However, Guo Ai did not collapse as he wished. After reading the documents, he raised his head and looked at the officer firmly: "Sir, these evidences are all forged. I have never done these things, and I have no accomplices. I demand that you let me go immediately."

The officer was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Guo Ai to refute him so calmly. He sneered and waved his hand: "Take him away!" The soldiers immediately stepped forward and escorted Guo Ai out of the study.

The Military Control Commission rushed into Guo Ai's residence like a pack of hungry wolves entering a sheepfold. They scattered in all directions, searching for evidence everywhere in the house. Guo Ai's study, bedroom, and even under the kitchen stove did not escape their search. However, they found nothing.

It turned out that, just in case, he hid all important items, including documents, code books and communication equipment, in the mezzanine on the roof. He carefully designed this mezzanine, which looks like an ordinary roof on the outside, but is a different world inside. Even if the military control department turned the house upside down, they would never think that important things would be hidden there.

At this time, the other action team was also anxiously chasing Zhu Feng and Bai Juxuan. They followed the tunnel all the way, but the tunnel was complicated and like a maze. They went around in the tunnel but still couldn't find any trace of the two. Finally, at the exit of the tunnel, they lost the trace of the two, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

The atmosphere in the temporary interrogation room of the Military Control Commission was extremely depressing. Niu Kun sat in front of a worn-out table, staring at Guo Ai opposite him with a sharp gaze. Guo Ai was tied to a chair, his face was pale, but he still tried to stay calm.

"Tell me! Where are your accomplices? What is your contact code?" Niu Kun shouted sternly.

Guo Ai didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear what Niu Kun said.

Niu Kun was furious when he saw this. He waved his hand and signaled his men to start. A soldier immediately stepped forward, picked up the red-hot iron, and branded Guo Ai's body fiercely. Guo Ai's skin was instantly charred, and a burnt smell filled the interrogation room. Guo Ai howled in pain, his eyes were red, his lower body was soaked, and he had urinary incontinence.

Niu Kun looked at Guo Ai's reaction coldly. He knew it was just the beginning. He signaled his men to continue the torture. During the interrogation, they used water torture, flogging and other tortures. Guo Ai's body was covered with bruises, but he always behaved like an ordinary person, fearful and scared, with pleading eyes.

"Speak! Are you going to tell it or not?" Niu Kun roared, his patience had been exhausted.

Guo Ai opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with fear and pain, and he said in a trembling voice: "I really don't know anything, I'm just an ordinary teacher, please let me go."

Niu Kun looked at Guo Ai and couldn't help but waver. He began to wonder if he had really arrested the wrong person, but then he thought, if Guo Ai was really just an ordinary teacher, why would he appear on their list?
