This World Without People
From being fired to being cleared out, it took the newspaper's editor-in-chief only fifteen minutes.
The Constant Law City Inspectorate moved directly. The editor-in-chief, who had just been attending a team-building event, was forcibly dragged out of the hotel and taken back to the newspaper under the watch of two Inspectors, where every procedure was completed.
The whole process was swift and decisive. Before he even understood what had happened, his employee badge had been torn off and he had been thrown onto the street outside the newspaper office.
The coworkers still working overtime tacitly lowered their heads. They showed no reaction to his departure, as calm as if they were watching a dying stray dog by the roadside.
Then, his carefully decorated office, which reflected his exceptional taste, was stripped bare. The newly appointed editor-in-chief threw everything out and began renovating it.
Standing in the street with his few remaining belongings, the former Oriental Daily editor-in-chief shuddered violently.
The weather was getting colder and colder, but his winter clothes offered no protection at all. Those fashionable outfits existed only to display winter style and were practically useless against the cold.
Stopping an Inspector who was about to leave, he frantically transferred over his meager two hundred in cash and anxiously asked, "I really didn't offend Miss Ren. Believe me."
The Inspector before him was cold as ice. Frost had already settled on his hair and eyebrows, making him look even colder.
After checking his phone and confirming that the information had been redacted, he returned the former editor-in-chief's money and said, "The fact that the author of Mysterious Cavern is Chen Yu was never made public in the Central District."
"I know! That was why it was only a guess! Wait, he really is?"
"Yes."
