Chapter 269: Don’t treat people right.

After Shi Liu's explanation, Shen Cheng realized that the group of young people outside were all apprentices or students of the Star Sea Rangers, the next generation trained by them personally.

These young people followed the rangers to gain experience throughout the world, and now they have come to the federal capital together.

Because they are not real rangers yet, they cannot participate in the following meetings.

The two of them entered the inner room together. There was a small living room here, which was also the gathering place for the Star Sea Rangers.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Cheng saw eleven people sitting scattered around the living room, holding wine or drinks in their hands, chatting animatedly.

This group of people included both men and women, young and old. The oldest was an old man in his fifties or sixties, and the youngest was a teenager who looked like he was not even an adult yet.

As soon as Shen Cheng and Shi Liu came in, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and all pairs of curious eyes were focused on Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng looked around and saw an acquaintance - Wei Yiting.

When did she come to the federal capital?

Seeing Shen Cheng's somewhat surprised expression, Wei Yiting couldn't help but smile and blinked at him narrowly.

"You two stop making eye contact."

A bearded man knocked on the coffee table with his hand and said, "Why don't you introduce yourself to us first?"

Wei Yiting didn't care about the man's teasing and smiled slightly: "I have introduced Shen Cheng to you many times. Your ears should have been tired of hearing it. There is no need to repeat it again."

"Everyone, look!"

A young woman started to make fun of him: "The young lady who usually doesn't like to laugh, today she smiles so gently."

The others burst into laughter. Wei Yiting couldn't help but glared at the woman: "Stop talking too much."

"Hello, everyone."

Shen Cheng certainly wouldn't just stand there stupidly, he took a step forward and said, "You may have heard of me. I'm the guy who used the name of Star Ranger to swindle people everywhere. I came here today to turn myself in."

Another round of laughter rang out, and most people gave him kind looks.

Some are a bit cold, but not hostile or rejecting.

Shen Cheng knew that this was all thanks to Wei Yiting. Shi Liu had told him before that Wei Yiting had always been speaking well of him on the rangers' forum.

Therefore, this group of Star Sea Rangers, who are supposed to be very proud, would maintain a certain goodwill towards Shen Cheng, who impersonated the title of Ranger.

of course there are exceptions.

"As long as you are on the path of justice, it doesn't matter if you use our name."

A man in a black suit suddenly spoke up, "But if you use our name to commit crimes and bring disgrace to the reputation of Star Ranger, we will not forgive you even if you have a good relationship with Wei Yiting or Shi Liu."

This was a serious man, with eyes so sharp beneath his thick eyebrows that people dared not look him in the face.

His attitude towards Shen Cheng was also the coldest. His sudden impolite warning made the originally relaxed atmosphere tense.

"Li Wei, you have a bad temper, you better be careful."

Shi Liu's extremely subtle voice suddenly reached Shen Cheng's ears.

There are many such bad-tempered people among the Star Rangers. Their belief in justice is stronger than anyone else and they cannot tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes.

Li Wei certainly had no good feelings towards Shen Cheng, the man who used an impersonator's name. He did not kick him out because of Wei Yiting's consideration.

The atmosphere was awkward, but the rangers did not come out to smooth things over. Instead, they remained silent, wanting to see how the man who had always been praised by Wei Yiting would respond.

Wei Yiting did not speak either, because she knew that if she spoke up to help at this moment, this group of guys would only look down on Shen Cheng.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Shen Cheng looked directly into Li Wei's eyes and asked softly, "If I commit a crime, you come to attack me. Is it because of my crime? Or is it because I have tarnished the name of Star Ranger?"

Li Wei answered without hesitation: "Of course it's because of your behavior."

"In that case, I remember that there are quite a few fallen Star Rangers. Are you going to warn the rest of the rangers one by one?"

Shen Cheng looked at the others and said loudly, "I think the identity of Star Ranger is not important. What is important is a person's behavior. If he commits a crime, he deserves death even if he is a Star Ranger. But if he is loyal to justice and practices justice, then even if he is not a Ranger, are you more noble than him?"

"well said."

The oldest Star Ranger suddenly spoke up, his tone very appreciative: "The most important thing is the behavior, not the identity. We really take the title of Star Ranger too seriously."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and toasted Shen Cheng from a distance.

Others also raised their drinks and toasted to Shen Cheng's words.

Li Wei frowned and thought deeply after warning Shen Cheng. Finally, he sighed and raised the wine glass in his hand to Shen Cheng: "You are right."

He was upset because Shen Cheng pretended to be the Star Ranger, and then warned Shen Cheng. This was a typical case of criticizing the person instead of the matter, and he assumed that Shen Cheng was someone who would commit crimes.

So Shen Cheng retorted to him, you should judge me by my actions, instead of treating the title of Star Ranger as some treasure. If you touch it, you will be a criminal in reserve.

This is about the matter, not the person. The Star Ranger is no nobler than anyone who practices justice.

This scene made Wei Yiting feel relieved. She didn't expect that Shen Cheng could refute Li Wei, who had the worst temper among them.

"Okay, everyone."

Shi Liu clapped her hands, like an older sister, attracting everyone's attention: "Shen Cheng is a person that the eldest lady and I admire very much, so there is no need to worry about his character. Now everyone, please express your opinions. Do you agree that he should join our operation this time?"

A ranger asked, "Before I express my opinion, I would like to ask Shen Cheng, how did you know what we want to do? What is your purpose in getting involved?"

Seeing that others were also looking at him curiously, Shen Cheng could only repeat what he had just said to Shi Liu.

"My goal is to rescue my two sisters who are in danger, so I need to act together with you. As a condition, I can provide you with military support."

No one would laugh at Shen Cheng's arrogance. These Star Rangers were not ordinary people and they could easily tell that Shen Cheng was an ace.

Ace-level strongmen are always the much-needed backbone forces no matter where they are, even if expanded to the entire world.

After listening to Shen Cheng's explanation, the inquiring ranger nodded: "Then I have no objection."

"That's fine with me." "Me too." "You're welcome to join us."

Things went much more smoothly than expected. On the one hand, Shen Cheng was powerful enough, and on the other hand, they had always had good intentions towards Shen Cheng, including Li Wei, who had just warned Shen Cheng.

Finally, everyone passed and Shen Cheng successfully joined them.

"That's my place."

Shi Liu pointed to the seat next to Wei Yiting and smiled: "I'll give it to you now, go and sit down."

Under the narrow gazes of the rangers, Shen Cheng walked over and sat down next to Wei Yiting. But he was also confused in his heart, didn't these rangers know that he already had a girlfriend?
Why do people seem to think of him and Wei Yiting as a couple?

"I'll tell you later."

Wei Yiting whispered something in Shen Cheng's ear, and her breath touched his ear, making it feel a little itchy.

Only after Shen Cheng joined in did the rangers begin to discuss business.

And Shen Cheng finally understood what the big thing was that brought so many Star Rangers together - they actually wanted to destroy the headquarters of the Living Tribunal.

The cause of the incident was a month ago, when Star Ranger received a reliable intelligence, which accurately revealed the specific location of the Life Tribunal headquarters.

The Star Ranger has been eyeing the mysterious organization, the Living Tribunal, for a long time and has always wanted to eradicate it completely, but has never found an opportunity.

Because the Living Tribunal maintained extremely good confidentiality, the Star Rangers tried their best to find the location of the Living Tribunal's headquarters but could not.

It was just destroying some of its insignificant strongholds and research institutes, which was not a serious blow at all.

The Living Tribunal's revenge on the Star Rangers was also very fierce. Many rangers died at their hands. The two sides had already formed a blood feud.

This time, the rangers suddenly gained access to the headquarters of the Living Tribunal and immediately gathered together, preparing to completely destroy this demon cave.

Because of the suddenness of the matter, only eleven of them arrived at the moment.

After hearing about the big thing that Star Ranger was going to do, Shen Cheng realized that Feng Ling had actually sent Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli to the headquarters of the Life Tribunal.

He almost couldn't help but reach out and take out the Joker card he was carrying and tear it up.

Are you trying to make trouble for him because you think he has an easy life?
"Are you OK?"

Wei Yiting noticed that there was something wrong with Shen Cheng's expression and asked in a low voice.

Shen Cheng shook his head: "It's okay."

The rangers were fiercely debating a course of action.

Although they knew the exact location of the Life Tribunal headquarters, they knew nothing about the situation inside.

So now there are two opinions. One is that we should first investigate the situation inside the Life Tribunal headquarters in detail, and then formulate a detailed action plan based on the situation. Anyway, the headquarters is there and will not run away.

The other group believed that they should act as soon as possible because the person who sent them the intelligence had already infiltrated the headquarters of the Living Tribunal and was ready to take action at any time.

Therefore, they must rush to provide support and assistance as soon as possible and not let the Life Tribunal be on guard.

These two opinions each have their supporters, and neither can convince the other in a short period of time.

"Don't argue. I know what's going on inside the Life Tribunal headquarters."

Suddenly, a voice broke the deadlock.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and were surprised to find that the person who spoke was Shen Cheng.

However, the crowd did not show any surprise, but instead looked puzzled.

The rangers had just obtained intelligence about the Living Tribunal's headquarters when Shen Cheng learned about their actions from a clown he had never heard of and came to them on his own initiative.

Now he has even taken the initiative to express that he knows the situation at the Life Court headquarters.

All this is so coincidental that one cannot help but wonder if this is an elaborate trap.

After all, Shen Cheng is not a Star Sea Ranger. Although these rangers have good intentions towards him, they do not trust him 100%.

"My question may make you feel uncomfortable, but for everyone's safety, I still have to ask clearly."

The oldest Star Ranger asked Shen Cheng, "Can you tell us how you know the situation in the Life Tribunal headquarters?"

"Of course no problem. If it were me, I would ask for clarification as well."

Shen Cheng knew why they were skeptical, so he decisively told them the excuse he had just prepared: "I once read the memory of a mid-level cadre of the Life Tribunal with the help of a memory messenger."

In fact, it was Cheng Mi’s memory, but Shen Cheng didn’t want to reveal that he had the ability to see memories, so he could only pull out Phalaenopsis as a shield. He believed that she would not mind.

"Memory Messenger?"

Upon hearing this legendary name, the rangers could not hide their surprise on their faces.

Even though they were well-informed, they had never seen such a legendary character.

"This memory messenger is called Phalaenopsis. I don't know if you have ever seen her, but even if you have, I'm afraid you will soon forget the memories related to her."

Shen Cheng's words were too bizarre and a little hard to believe.

At this moment, Li Wei, who had warned Shen Cheng before, suddenly spoke up: "I have seen Phalaenopsis you mentioned. She is a very mysterious woman. She wanted to exchange my memory, but I refused. She also wanted to delete my memory afterwards. It happened that I left a backup of my memory, so I remember her."

Shen Cheng didn't expect that Li Wei, who was unhappy with him just now, would actually testify for him.

Facing Shen Cheng's surprised eyes, Li Wei snorted: "Are you surprised that I speak for you? I am a Star Ranger who believes in justice. Do you think I am a despicable villain?"

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "No, I just thought you were just looking for trouble."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone else couldn't help laughing, but Li Wei wasn't angry. He just glared at Shen Cheng and said, "Then you'd better not let me catch you in any trouble."

With Li Wei as a guarantor, the others had to believe Shen Cheng's words, and the way they looked at him changed.

The young woman who had teased Wei Yiting just now couldn't help but say, "You can actually deal with the legendary memory messenger and get his help. Who the hell are you?"

Her tone was a bit exaggerated, mostly joking, but she also expressed other people's inner thoughts.

"Wait a moment!"

Shi Liu suddenly asked Shen Cheng, "You just said that you saw the memory of a mid-level cadre of the Life Tribunal?"

Shen Cheng nodded: "Yes."

The next second, he found that everyone in the room was looking at him with hungry eyes like hungry wolves, as if they wanted to pounce on him and eat him up.

Just now, the rangers were distracted by the keyword "memory messenger". Now that they have come to their senses, they realize how important Shen Cheng's words are.

The middle-level cadres of the Life Tribunal are already qualified to enter and exit the headquarters of the Life Tribunal.

Over the years, the Star Rangers have captured some mid-level officials of the Life Tribunal, but all of them were diehards, so don't expect to get any information about the headquarters from them.

If Shen Cheng had really read the memory of a middle-level cadre, then the rangers' understanding of the Life Court would have ushered in an unprecedented breakthrough.
