In the past period of time, Zaun Daily and Piltover Daily had been engaged in a heated verbal spat, which greatly attracted the attention of the people in the twin cities.
As for the outcome of the battle...
Overall, the two sides are evenly matched.
However, with the publication of the article "Strategic Partners - Also Rising from the Ruins", the situation has become visibly subtle.
Piltover Daily had previously vowed that Ionia trade would become a new economic growth point for the city.
This kind of rhetoric is, on the one hand, encouraging public sentiment, and on the other hand, it is the old money that is creating pressure from public opinion.
After all, in Piltover, there are a large number of people related to the Gate of the Sun, and Piltover's trade is truly "a source of food and clothing for millions of workers."
The result was good, Pi Cheng was still here looking to the future, and Zaun directly laid out a partial cooperation agreement.
The distribution center for Ionian trade is right down there!
For Mrs. Piltover, especially a Piltover whose work is related to the Gate of the Sun, this result is undoubtedly unacceptable.
It didn't even need old money to fan the flames. These Piltover people, whose jobs had been reduced recently and whose salaries had been stopped, took the initiative to stir up the noise.
Some people even shouted, "The Zaun people stole our business" and began to actively attack the joint cooperative laboratories in the twin cities.
It happened suddenly.
Fortunately, Caitlin had made complete preparations for the security of the laboratory because of her rivalry with Vi. These angry Piltovers did not really cause any damage, and were directly captured and thrown into Stillwater Prison.
The Piltover Council quickly convened an emergency meeting, and Camille showed up in person to warn the old money congressmen not to add fuel to the fire at this time.
Facing the astonishingly powerful Camille, although these guys felt dissatisfied, they could only nod in the end and actively stated that "this chaos has nothing to do with us" and so on.
Camille looked at them as if she were looking at a group of fools.
It has nothing to do with you?
So why do these people go to the joint collaborative laboratory to find trouble?
Under normal circumstances, wouldn't they come to the parliament to petition if this kind of problem arises?
Faced with Camille's disdain, the three old money members of the parliament looked at each other, and each of them was a little unsure about the situation.
They all believed that they did not do anything at this time, but they were not sure whether the other two people did anything at this time.
Looking at these three guys looking at each other, several other upstart congressmen curled their lips, but Camille noticed something was wrong.
Although these three guys are stubbornly guarding the interests of Sun Gate, they are not simple people after all, but they have been able to stand firm in the turmoil of the past few years.
Camille thought this was just a test and warning. Someone hoped to put pressure on the Parliament at this time to allow Piltover to participate in trade competition and increase its influence on drilling holes.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that none of the three of them have taken action!
If this is really the case, then something is wrong - if not these people, who else could be inciting the people?
Just when Camille was deep in thought, the sound of hurried footsteps and whistles suddenly came from the corridor of the parliament building.
The next moment, Caitlin's deputy pushed in the door and brought a piece of news that stunned all the congressmen.
"Something happened at the joint collaborative laboratory. The main person in charge of the fifth department, Professor Phesis, is missing!"
……………………
After getting the news, Camille simply left the parliament after warning all the members.
Behind her, Jess, who was worried about problems with the progress of the experiment and Victor's physical condition, also hurriedly left the table and went straight to the laboratory.
Mrs. Gillaman set off with Jess. She was worried not about Victor, but about Caitlin. The person who came to inform the news was her deputy, which meant that Caitlin might have already taken action.
Caitlin is there to get gold plating, not to actually deal with serious incidents!
When Jess, Mel, and Mrs. Gila Mann arrived at the outskirts of the laboratory on the edge of Piltover, Camille had already surveyed the area.
The situation in the laboratory is terrible.
Within the wall, thick smoke billowed above the laboratory, and a strange smell permeated everywhere. The experimenters working here rushed out anxiously, and were then arranged to confirm their identities while registering and leaving to rest at a designated location.
Outside the laboratory, a huge hole was blown open in the wall. Judging from the traces of the explosion, the direction was from the inside out - broken bricks and stones were splashed all over the ground outside the wall, and there were obvious traces on the ground.
of blood.
"Where is Caitlin?" Seeing this situation, Mrs. Gila Mann randomly found a law enforcement officer and asked anxiously, "Where is your commander?"
"She...she left with the person who caused the explosion." The named law enforcement officer recognized the congressman and did not dare to neglect, "After the explosion, Miss Caitlin immediately went to check the situation, and then she saw
Professor Phesis was held hostage by a man whose face was covered and left, so she chased him immediately."
"How many teams of law enforcement officers did she bring?"
"..."
The law enforcement officer hesitated for a moment and finally stretched out a finger.
"A team of law enforcement officers... twelve people are facing such a guy. I'm afraid it's not enough. She needs support."
"It's one - because someone came over to demonstrate before, half of the law enforcement officers on duty today are escorting people to Jingshui Prison and haven't come back yet." The law enforcement officer swallowed his saliva and explained in a low voice, "The explosion.
When it happened, there were only two teams of law enforcement officers here. Miss Caitlin asked us to stay at the scene and act in accordance with the law enforcement officers' regulations to prevent the criminal's accomplices from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble..."
"So you stayed?!" Mrs. Gila Mann raised her tone, like an angry lion, "You are derelict in your duties!"
"I also tried to catch up, but I couldn't catch up." Although Mr. Law Enforcement Officer was tall and fat, he seemed like a frightened quail when faced with Mrs. Gila Mann's roar, "Only Zaun next door
The head of security at the laboratory followed Miss Caitlin..."
"Pah——"
Mrs. Gila Mann, who could no longer contain her emotions, raised her arms and slapped the law enforcement officer on the face without hesitation.
In the midst of the stunned or horrified expressions of all the law enforcement officers, she left a message, "What's wrong with Caitlin? You're all going to die." Then she went straight to Camille.
"Dear Gray Lady." Mrs. Gila Mann said with a trembling tone, "Caitlin is my only child. Nothing can happen to her - no matter what, nothing can happen to her..."
"Don't worry." Camille's eyes flashed with a dangerous red light, "Things are not as bad as you think. Although the enemy is cunning, he is not strong - Caitlin's child will be fine."
