Chapter 157 [0155] None of Them Are Honest

Soon, in the laboratory in Piltover, Caitlin received news that Zaun had notified her to personally pick up a group of reporters and discuss the issue of access qualifications for reporters' interviews.

Caitlin was a little confused after receiving the news.

What's going on?

How come Zaun has directly detained a group of reporters before the joint experiment has officially started? !

What are the people of Zaun doing? !

Caitlin, who was born in the Blue Fever Manor, didn't know Zaun.

Before she became a law enforcement officer, she had almost no intersection with Zaun.

When she became a law enforcement officer and began to try to understand Zaun, a blockade that was not strict but could not be entered and exited at will appeared between the two cities - in this case, her only sources of information about Zaun were newspapers, magazines, and hearsay.

These two sources of information obviously would not report anything good about Zaun.

Naturally, in Caitlin's heart, Zaun was not a good place.

When she heard that the Zaun law enforcers had detained the Piltover reporter, her first reaction was that "Zauans are angry and embarrassed", so she took a few law enforcers with her indignantly, took the elevator and came to Zaun, intending to have a good talk with the law enforcers in Zaun.

However, when Caitlyn came to Zaun and met Vi and the reporter, she found that the truth of the matter seemed to be slightly different from what she had imagined.

When Vi put the reporter's interview notes and a newly purchased autobiographical novel "Twenty Years" in front of Caitlyn, Caitlyn was so embarrassed that she almost shrank under the table.

Making up stories, taking advantage of the topic, and being caught red-handed... This is simply a smear on Piltover!

"Miss Caitlin." Seeing Caitlin's look, Wei curled her lips and crossed her arms, saying, "For the smooth progress of the joint experiment, I think we need to reach a consensus on the issue of reporters. We can't let some irrelevant people exaggerate and slander at will, don't you think?"

"...I think it makes sense." Caitlin glared at the reporters who lowered their heads like frost-bitten eggplants, and finally nodded helplessly, "Regarding the issue of reporters, I will propose to the parliament to strengthen the review."

"I don't care what you do over there." This situation that made the Piltover people helpless made Wei extremely happy, "But next time there are such people mixed in with the reporters, I'm afraid I can only treat them as spies."

"No." Caitlin shook her head, "I promise."

……………………

Caitlyn signed, and Zaun released the people.

With these reporters, Caitlin took the Hexlift and returned to Piltover smoothly.

Then, just when she was about to give a good warning and apply to the police station to investigate the reporter's false propaganda and see if the reporter's license could be revoked, Caitlin was surprised to find that the guy caught by Wei was jokingly giving cigarettes to the law enforcement officers behind her...

"What are you doing?" Caitlin was stunned, "What are you doing?!"

"Don't be nervous, Ms. Caitlin." A law enforcement officer who was relatively familiar with Caitlin took the cigarette, "Yolfo also knew his mistake, he will not touch on those sensitive topics in the future..."

"This is not a sensitive topic!" Caitlin frowned, "As a reporter, he is making up stories!"

"Miss Caitlin." At this time, Yolfo straightened his collar and came to Caitlin, "Thank you very much for your help. It was indeed my fault this time. I was excited and left a trail for those Zaun bastards, but I can promise that in the future, "Piltover Culture Weekly" will act carefully and will never leave any loopholes..."

While speaking, Yolfo also handed over a box of golden ladies' cigarettes.

"I don't smoke." Caitlin said coldly, "Put away your tricks."

"It's just a little thing." After being scolded, Yorfo was not embarrassed at all, "Since Miss Caitlin doesn't like it, I will share it with other law enforcement brothers. You all have worked hard on this trip-"

"Bribing law enforcement officers will lead to imprisonment in Quiet Waters." Caitlin interrupted him, "Also, compared to trying to build relationships here, Mr. Yorfo, you should be more worried about your press card."

This time, Yorfo's smile finally froze on his face. He looked at Caitlin in astonishment, as if he never expected that his own law enforcement officer would say such a thing.

"I just reported some news that the Zaun people didn't want to reveal." He waved his hand in a panic, "Don't make such a fuss, right?"

"This is not making a fuss, but to maintain the reputation of Piltover." Caitlin's tone was tough, without any intention of relaxing, "Anyway, I have made a decision on this matter."

Yorfo finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

This lady law enforcement officer seemed a little too tough - so he simply turned his eyes to other law enforcement officers, hoping that the person who had just accepted his gift would stand up and say something.

However, no one spoke.

It was obviously impossible for these law enforcement officers to stand up against Caitlin - even if Caitlin's decision was indeed a little inhumane.

At this moment, Yorfo was finally dumbfounded.

"Ms. Caitlin, you can't do this..."

Then, just as Jolfo was still trying to pray, a law enforcement officer hurried towards Caitlin from the Piltover laboratory.

"Miss Caitlin, the Zaun reporter from the laboratory caused some trouble." After the other party came to Caitlin, he glanced at Jolfo, and then whispered, "A few guys with press cards ran to the Hextech crystal factory next to the college area under the pretext of investigating the Hextech industry after the interview!"

"Then what?" Caitlin didn't realize the problem, "Are they making fake news?"

"That's not the case." The law enforcement officer's voice was even lower, "But those bastards got in among the workers at the Hextech crystal factory and started interviewing those workers!"

Interviewing workers?

Caitlin still didn't understand what the problem was - in the reporter information provided by Zaun, there was indeed a "non-technical Hextech technology popularization". In this case, although it was a bit unconventional to interview the workers at the Hextech crystal factory, it was not a big problem after all.

"Are they taking the opportunity to steal the technology for Hextech crystal manufacturing?"

"No, they didn't ask any questions about the technology." The law enforcement officer looked at Caitlin, who didn't understand the seriousness of the problem, and couldn't help shaking his head. "The main questions they asked were about the working environment, physical health, working hours, and overtime pay."

"Let them interview them now!" Caitlin smiled confidently when she heard this, "Our salary level is much higher than that of Zaun!"

Looking at the confident Caitlin, the unfortunate law enforcement officer lowered his head slightly and covered his face with his hands: "That's compared to before. The treatment of workers in the Hextech crystal manufacturing plant is now ...Not as good as Zaun."

"How is it possible?!" Caitlin's eyes widened, "I've done research before. For the same position, our salary level in Piltover is much higher than that in Zaun-"

"Yes, it's nearly three times higher than Zaun." The other party's tone was full of helplessness, "But the cost of living is ten times higher than Zaun..."

Karlja's small class·Piltover without Zaun:

With the blockade of the two cities and the development of Hextech, Piltover needs to carry out the manufacturing of low-end Hextech industries by itself. Although the people of Piltover engaged in these industries are not as miserable as those in Zaun, they are still incompatible with Piltover.
