Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1493: 1492 Lost Data

“Again, Your Highness, you do not have the authority to dismiss Xite. Everything here is overseen by Mr. Basha, and without his approval to dismiss Xite, even you cannot make him leave!” Mahri seemed to have indeed found a good way to stop Samiyi.

Samiyi nodded slightly, “Your reason is very sound, go on, you were about to convince me.”

Mahri suddenly seemed less confident, “Your Highness, if you could provide some evidence of your claims, we might accept your decision.”

Samiyi gave a slight smile, “Please display another set of photos.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately operated the computer. The image on the electronic screen changed, this time the background was not the leisure area but inside the laboratory.

Although the laboratories inside the experimental building all looked quite similar, Tan Rou could distinguish this one from the others at a glance because it contained many of her team members’ belongings. For instance, the small cup Shang Jin liked, the pen Lang Yue preferred to use, and some other personal items brought by other team members.

“This is our laboratory!” Tan Rou muttered under her breath, “Why take these pictures? Wait, could it be that Samiyi had someone secretly photograph TR’s team at work?”

Rake overheard her speaking and quietly asked, “What did you say?”

Tan Rou put down the document she was looking at and replied in a low voice, “This is Ah Jin and the others’ laboratory; I don’t know why you are photographing them.”

Actually, Rake was also unclear about the situation as he had been called over on short notice. The princess had only asked him to review the documents, she had not discussed anything else with him.

“I’m not sure either, you could ask Her Highness,” Rake would pass on questions he couldn’t answer to someone else.

Tan Rou did not expect him to answer, but her curiosity about who was secretly photographing them compelled her to quietly move a few steps closer to the electronic screen to get a better look at the images.

The background of the photo was Shang Jin and others’ laboratory, but the main subject was not Shang Jin and his colleagues, but a sneaky Xite.

Why describe Xite as sneaky? Because he was creeping into the laboratory with a bent posture, continuously looking around, and even from the photo, it was apparent he was very cautious.

“Who took these photos?” Xite stood up and shouted, “Who did this?”

Tan Rou also wanted to know who had done it, but another matter also intrigued her. Shang Jin had mentioned yesterday that they’d discovered someone secretly photographing and also found that items were missing. However, Xite had not been there yesterday; he hadn’t been around for days. So, who was secretly photographing and stealing yesterday? Could it be that Xite had an accomplice?

Samiyi said, “Xite, do you admit that you snuck into someone else’s laboratory?”

Xite stubbornly said, “I went there to interact cordially with them, not sneaking around. They all saw me.”

“Them seeing you doesn’t mean they knew what you were there to do,” Tan Rou suddenly spoke up, “Your Highness, my team members called me for help yesterday afternoon. They said someone was secretly observing them, had photographed them, and even stolen the organized data.”

Samiyi asked with some annoyance, “Such a thing has actually happened? Mr. Basha, do you have anything to say?”

The person called Basha wiped the sweat from his face and then said, “Your Highness, please give me some time, I will investigate this thoroughly.”

Tan Rou added, “My team members had already told you about this, but what have you done? You told them the surveillance in the laboratory was broken and it was impossible to review the monitors, didn’t you?”

Basha emphasized, “Your Highness, the surveillance in that laboratory was indeed broken, I am not lying.”

“Since you knew the surveillance was broken, then why didn’t you fix it?” Tan Rou asked, “Do you know how important the stuff in there is? Could you be responsible if the experimental data was stolen? No, the experimental data has already been lost.”

She said to Samiyi, “Your Highness, the lost items include some experimental data, what do you think should be done?”
