Chapter 271 Successful Infiltration
The originally joyful atmosphere suddenly turned sad. Some younger children even sobbed quietly and held the master's hand tightly to prevent him from leaving.
Jiang Yingyue's eyes were also red, but she didn't cry. She just gave Shi Liu a big hug.
Looking at this sad parting moment, Shen Cheng asked Wei Yiting who was standing beside him: "Didn't you train a successor?"
Wei Yiting shook her head: "I'm so young, why should I train a successor?"
Actually, yes, she had been training her little maid, but later she found that the little maid was not qualified to be a qualified star ranger, so she had no choice but to give up.
The Rangers were not indecisive people, and did not let this sad farewell moment last too long. They quickly explained their last wishes and then left the bar together.
This group of young heirs were left in a small bar. If the rangers did not come back after a few days, they would go their separate ways with the rangers' last words to find their own justice.
After the rangers left, most of the children were still immersed in the sad atmosphere.
Suddenly, a voice rang out: "Everyone, we can't just sit and wait like this, we should do something to help the teachers."
Everyone looked over and found that the person who spoke was the most active boy today.
“What should we do?”
"The teacher told us to stay here and not run around."
“We don’t have to do anything too outrageous.”
The boy said loudly: "We just need to do something eye-catching and attract the attention of the federal government for our teachers. If we can't even do this little thing, how can we become Star Rangers in the future? How can we stand on our own?"
Most of the children were convinced and the voices of opposition died down.
Jiang Yingyue felt that this proposal was a bit bad, but she didn't want to go against everyone at this time, so she could only remain silent.
So, the group of children began to discuss excitedly, preparing to learn from their elders and do something big together.
On the other side, after Shen Cheng and the rangers left the bar, they immediately rushed to the nearest stronghold of the Life Court.
The base is a private hospital, which is used by the Life Court to collect data and materials, including intelligence.
Before entering the hospital, Shen Cheng once again used mind magic to change everyone's appearance.
Ning Qing, who followed Shen Cheng closely, also joined the ranks of those pretending to be traitors.
There was also a ranger who specifically played the role of Du Tianming, but in order to avoid being exposed, he played the role of Du Tianming who fell into a coma after suffering a severe head injury.
Moreover, he did not use Shen Cheng's mind magic, but used his own abilities to dress himself up. Even if he was taken away alone for inspection, he would not have to worry about being exposed.
Everyone gathered together and discussed the battle plan again, and then carried the unconscious "Du Tianming" directly into the hospital.
The nurse at the front desk saw a group of people hurriedly walking in, carrying an unconscious person on their backs, and quickly asked, "Are you here to see a doctor?"
Shen Cheng walked to the front desk and whispered, "We are here to see Director Wang. Please tell him that we have brought him some specialties from our hometown."
Shen Cheng's words made it sound a bit like a spy meeting. In fact, this was the Life Tribunal's secret code for meeting.
Director Wang is the person in charge of this base. He brought local specialties from his hometown which means he has important intelligence.
"Please wait a moment."
The nurse's face changed slightly, and she immediately picked up the front desk phone and dialed Director Wang's office number to inform him of what happened here.
After hanging up the phone, she personally led the group to Director Wang's office.
After knocking on the door and being asked to come in, Shen Cheng and a dozen other people squeezed into the office.
Director Wang is a middle-aged man with a bald head. When he saw such a large group of people squeezed in, he just frowned slightly and asked, "What specialties did you bring for me?"
Shen Cheng stepped forward: "Director Wang, I hope to be able to speak to your boss, Minister Wang, in person."
Director Wang's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Shen Cheng with wide eyes for several seconds before swallowing back the words "Who do you think you are?"
He suppressed his impatience and said, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me. It's a rule not to report to a higher level. Which department are you from?"
His superior, Minister Wang, is the head of the intelligence department of the Life Court headquarters. Even if he is a relative of Director Wang, he would never dare to disturb such an important figure.
Now, a soldier who came out of nowhere actually asked to speak to Minister Wang. Not only was this rude, it also made Director Wang appear incompetent.
"Of course we know the rule."
Shen Cheng put his hands on the desk and stared into Director Wang's eyes. "But the specialty we brought back this time is a top-secret mission that Minister Wang personally assigned to our superiors. It must not be disclosed to irrelevant personnel. Are you sure you still want to listen?"
Shen Cheng spoke so seriously that Director Wang was a little scared.
"Who is your boss?"
"Cheng Mi from Hanyun Prefecture, she died on duty some time ago."
Director Wang's expression kept changing. After all, he was an intelligence officer and his personality was not as tough as that of a combatant.
After weighing the pros and cons, he could only say with a sour face: "You guys go out and wait first."
He didn't want outsiders to see him being scolded by Minister Wang. Of course, if he was really scolded, he would make these people pay the price.
Shen Cheng led the rangers out of the office, and Director Wang immediately took out his cell phone and called Minister Wang.
After the call was connected, he reported what happened here with some nods and bows.
"Cheng Mi's subordinates?"
Minister Wang was quite confused after hearing this. Although he had met Cheng Mi, Yan Yubin's sister-in-law, several times, they were not familiar with each other, and it was even more impossible for him to give her any secret mission without going through the intelligence system.
However, Cheng Mi is not an ordinary person after all, and he died in the line of duty some time ago. Minister Wang felt it necessary to listen to what specialties her so-called subordinates brought him.
"Let them answer the phone."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Director Wang opened the door of his office, beckoned Shen Cheng in, handed him the phone, and warned him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."
Shen Cheng nodded, then raised his hand and pointed at the office door, indicating Director Wang to go out.
Director Wang glared at him angrily, but finally turned and left.
After he went out, Shen Cheng picked up the phone and answered it.
"Hello, Minister Wang."
"Hello, young man."
Minister Wang asked kindly, "What specialties did you bring me that require me to answer the call in person?"
Even though he seems very kind now, if what Shen Cheng says does not satisfy him, he will definitely be in trouble.
Fortunately, Shen Cheng brought a bomb that could shake the entire Life Court. He did not keep the secret and confessed directly: "We caught Du Tianming?"
"What?!" Minister Wang, who had been looking relaxed, stood up from his chair and said, "Say it again!"
Shen Cheng repeated: "We caught the wanted criminal named Du Tianming."
Minister Wang's heart began to beat wildly: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, we are quite sure."
Shen Cheng disguised himself as a soldier who caught a big fish, and with an uncontrollable excitement in his tone, he told the whole story that he had already made up.
The whole process was not complicated. Cheng Mi simply discovered Du Tianming's whereabouts, and then arranged a group of people to investigate the matter and then left it alone.
After a long and arduous pursuit, this group of people finally captured Du Tianming, who had fallen into a coma after fighting with someone unknown.
Du Tianming has been wanted by the Life Court for so many years but has never been caught. On the one hand, it is because he hid very well, and on the other hand it must be because he is extremely powerful.
Therefore, Shen Cheng did not dare to say that this group of people defeated Du Tianming, as it was too easy to see through the lie. He could only say that they had picked up an opportunity by accident.
In order to verify his words, Shen Cheng specially took a video of the ranger who pretended to be Du Tianming and sent it to Minister Wang.
After watching the video sent by Wang Shencheng, Minister Wang half believed what he said.
That's right, only half.
Over the years, the Life Court has arrested Du Tianming many times, but they were all proved to be fakes afterwards. They were all people who looked similar to him, or stand-ins.
However, a mere half chance is enough to make Minister Wang excited.
As a senior official of the Life Tribunal, Minister Wang knew that Du Tianming was a researcher of the Life Tribunal many years ago, but later defected for unknown reasons.
Many people defected from the Life Court, but only Du Tianming received the highest wanted order, and it was the adult who personally asked for his capture.
Therefore, capturing Du Tianming has the highest priority in the entire Life Court.
After asking for some more details, Minister Wang gave the order: "You must stay in the hospital and don't leave. You must protect Du Tianming and never let anyone get close to him."
Shen Cheng nodded and agreed to return the phone to Director Wang as instructed by Minister Wang.
Director Wang nodded and bowed in response to the phone, as if he was promising something.
After hanging up the call, Minister Wang became restless and stood up to walk back and forth in the luxurious office.
Finally, he strolled to the window, admiring the scenery outside, his eyes falling on the tallest steel building in the middle.
The adult who created the entire Life Tribunal lives in this steel building.
No one knows why that adult attaches so much importance to Du Tianming, a defector, but Minister Wang knows that as long as Du Tianming can be captured, his position in that adult's heart will definitely change.
On the other side, after Director Wang hung up the phone, he looked at Shen Cheng with a complicated look and vacated the entire office.
Shen Cheng and the rangers squeezed in, while Director Wang hurried away and began to increase the security level of the entire hospital and drove away all irrelevant personnel.
"Did you make it?"
Wei Yiting asked Shen Cheng, and the other rangers also saluted him.
Shen Cheng nodded slowly: "The success rate is about 80%. Minister Wang asked us to wait in the hospital. He should send someone to pick us up."
Li Wei frowned and asked, "What if he just wants to take Du Tianming away?"
Shen Cheng shrugged: "Then we can only do it reluctantly and pretend to be the people he sent."
The rangers immediately started laughing.
After waiting for about half an hour, a convoy appeared in front of the hospital, including armored vehicles.
Immediately afterwards, a group of fully armed soldiers got out of the car and forcibly took over the security of the entire hospital.
The leader was a military officer. His majestic and murderous aura made Director Wang's scalp tingle.
"Where are those people? Take us there immediately."
"Please come with me."
In the office, Shen Cheng and the rangers also noticed that the Life Court had sent people over.
They restrained their originally relaxed expressions, but did not get too nervous either, and quietly played their roles well.
The tightly closed office door was soon pushed open, and the officer strode in. His sharp eyes swept across everyone's face, finally falling on the unconscious "Du Tianming".
All the rangers could sense that this officer was a master-level warrior. It was obvious how much importance Minister Wang attached to this that he actually sent a master to escort him.
The rangers all restrained their auras and tried hard to disguise themselves as weak individuals. With the help of Shen Cheng's mind magic, they did not reveal any flaws.
Fortunately, the officers' attention was all on Du Tianming, and they didn't pay too much attention to this group of guys who were so lucky.
"This officer..."
Shen Cheng stepped forward to negotiate, but the officer completely ignored him and came to Du Tianming to check him.
After confirming that Du Tianming was still alive and not a disguised stand-in, the officer turned his head and looked at Shen Cheng and said, "Next, I will take you back to the headquarters. Just follow me obediently. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, we understand."
Shen Cheng and the rangers all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could enter the headquarters smoothly, it would be a success even if their identities were immediately discovered.
The officer waved his hand, and a group of soldiers came in and took the unconscious Du Tianming away.
Shen Cheng and his group were also taken away and brought to the outside of the hospital. More than a dozen people were stuffed into a transport vehicle.
Not only that, everyone was required to wear a black hood.
Since none of them are qualified to enter the headquarters, this method is the only way to cut off their sight and prevent them from remembering the way to the headquarters along the way.
Things had come to this point, so Shen Cheng and the rangers certainly wouldn't do anything rash. They just put on their hoods obediently and huddled in the transport vehicle.
"We are like prisoners now."
Wei Yiting happened to be sitting next to Shen Cheng and whispered to him.
Before Shen Cheng could answer, a soldier in charge of guarding immediately shouted, "No whispering allowed."
Everyone had to keep quiet.
After waiting in the dark for about an hour, the transport vehicle finally stopped and the soldier outside was shouting, "Take off your hoods and get off."
Shen Cheng and the rangers took off their hoods and got off the transport vehicle.
Then, each of them was attracted by the magnificent scenery before them. The huge dome seemed like half an inverted planet, and the giant city built of steel below exuded the cold color of metal and the ultimate beauty full of science fiction.
