As night fell, Zhao Shitou hid in a dark corner outside the courtyard, quietly following the person who was about to meet him. He was very nervous and uneasy. After all, this was a dangerous mission, but it was also very exciting. This was his first real combat experience!

Finally, Tian Ya and his companions stopped in a secluded corner. Zhao Shitou observed for a few minutes, determined their meeting point, quickly noted the location, and quickly returned to the guesthouse they had agreed on to find Gu Huaijin.

Gu Huaijin listened to Zhao Shitou's report and nodded slightly. "I've just contacted the local military and explained the situation to them. Let's call them now and request support. Tell me your location first, and I'll go over. You wait here."

Zhao Shitou's face lit up with anxiety when he heard the decision. "Commissar, it's not safe for you to go there alone. Let's wait."

Gu Huaijin waved his hand gently and said seriously, "Time waits for no one. We can't delay any longer. Moreover, we must seize the opportunity, otherwise there may not be a second chance."

Zhao Shitou understood Gu Huaijin's determination, but he was still worried about his safety. "Political Commissar, if something unexpected happens, how will I explain it to the troops?"

Gu Huaijin looked at him quietly and said seriously, "In the face of national justice, personal life and death is not our most important consideration."

Zhao Shitou was infected by Gu Huaijin's firm attitude and nodded. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Okay, Political Commissar, I will wait for your news."

Gu Huaijin smiled and patted Zhao Shitou's shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Gu Huaijin immediately called the local military headquarters and requested their support. He briefly and clearly told them the meeting point and emphasized the urgency of the situation.

He hurried to the meeting place, while Zhao Shitou stayed at the guesthouse waiting for news. Time seemed to stretch infinitely longer, and every second felt like a thousand years.

A few minutes later, Zhao Shitou led the local military support team to the destination. They successfully completed the mission and captured all the enemy spies without any accidents.

Zhao Shitou breathed a sigh of relief at the successful completion of the mission. He had never doubted the political commissar's ability, but his concerns were always there. He spent the entire night in a state of panic.

"Political Commissar Gu, I've long heard of you. I'm Shao Feng, the commander of the Linghai City garrison." Shao Feng saluted him.

"Hello, Captain Shao, I'm Gu Huaijin from the Northwest Third Regiment." Gu Huaijin extended his hand and shook his. Their sharp eyes met in mid-air, each able to sense the other's powerful aura.

"The mission has been completed, shall we go out for a get-together?" Shao Feng suggested.

"Captain Shao, it's not the right time yet. We are here pretending to be the contact person, and the real contact person is still on the way." Gu Huaijin said in a low voice.

Shao Feng was surprised to hear this: "I thought you had already caught him, so I came here. You are really brave. If they had gotten here earlier, you would have been in danger."

Gu Huaijin shook his head. "We suspect there are spies in the family compound in the northwest. They're too cunning, and information could easily leak out. According to intelligence, the contact person plans to arrive tomorrow morning. We have to wait for him to arrive."

Shao Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded. They were both trained members of the special forces, tasked with carrying out high-risk missions. This time, they were tracking a well-organized enemy spy team, so they had to be extremely alert.

According to Gu Huaijin's request, Shao Feng found a female soldier about 30 years old in the army to dress up as Tian Ya and wait at the train station.

Zhao Shitou felt obligated to pass on his experience to her, and carefully repeated everything Tian Ya said to him from beginning to end.

Hours passed, and night gradually gave way to day. Gu Huaijin and Shao Feng remained hidden in the shadows, waiting for their contact to arrive.

The contact person got off the car quickly and found "Tian Ya" based on the description.

"Tian Ya" checked the information with the contact person according to the previous code, and after confirming that it was correct, he took him to the courtyard. There were many people here, so it was inevitable that the contact person would hold innocent women and children hostage.

The contact was a relatively old man, about 40 years old. He didn't exchange any unnecessary pleasantries and remained silent. When he heard Tian Ya's words, he nodded without saying anything more. The two of them walked towards the agreed location.

They stopped in the same quiet alley. Tian Ya led them into a hidden underground room beneath a house. This was the enemy's secret base, which they had discovered during their recent investigation.

"Mission accomplished." Tian Ya opened the defense map her contact had given her, feeling a pang of fear. This was the real thing. If they took it, the consequences would be disastrous. She quickly recovered and said calmly.

The contact's expression changed slightly: "Are you sure? No one has discovered our whereabouts?"

The contact man also felt distracted, his heart pounding, as if reminding himself that something was going to happen.

"How is that possible? There were only two of us on the way here." "Tian Ya" denied his statement.

The contact person thought for a moment and said in a commanding tone, "Give me the blueprint."

Shao Feng and Gu Huaijin looked at each other in the corner outside. They realized that things might have changed and they... needed to take action, so they ordered their men to act immediately.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the door was broken open. Several armed soldiers rushed in.

"Not good!" the contact person shouted loudly with a ferocious look on his face. It was obvious that he had realized that he was being ambushed.

The contact immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed Gu Huaijin. Shao Feng and Gu Huaijin worked in perfect harmony, holding their weapons and desperately resisting each other's attacks, but also trying not to let him hurt themselves. They needed to keep the contact alive.

After several minutes of fierce fighting, they successfully captured the contact person alive, but the room was completely destroyed and filled with smoke.

"We must leave here quickly." Shao Feng shouted.

They hurriedly crossed the ruins with the contact person, rushed out of the yard and returned to the military area.

…

"He still refuses to say?" Gu Huaijin sat in the military district office with a frown on his face. This matter had been delayed for three days. He was worried that if it took too long, the enemy spies in the northwest would find out.

"This guy is very stubborn and hard to pry open." Shao Feng had someone interrogate him for a whole day and night, but the guy didn't say a word.

"If the interrogation doesn't work according to the rules, let's think of other ways." Gu Huaijin pondered for a moment and spoke out.

"Do you mean torture?" Shao Feng asked tentatively, with an incredible expression on his face.

"Check his identity and family. Don't torture him unless absolutely necessary. If he already has the will to die, this won't help him."

"Great, great!" Shao Feng guessed Gu Huaijin's thoughts and his eyes lit up.

As Gu Huaijin expected, Shao Feng soon found out that the contact person was named Tan Zhuang, and he had an eighty-year-old mother above him.

When Shao Feng found Tan Zhuang's mother, he discovered that someone was monitoring her, so he became cautious and sent someone to lure the person away, found someone to follow the person secretly, and sent Tan Zhuang's mother to the army for protection.
