Chapter 1496: Are you not afraid of 1495?

Samiyi picked up a document from the table and said, “This document bears His Majesty the King’s signature and seal. He has entrusted me with the management of affairs here. Who stays and who leaves, everyone must follow my arrangements.”

Basha couldn’t believe it, “No, I must verify this with His Majesty the King myself.”

Samiyi was growing impatient. Today’s events had made her very angry, and the man responsible for all this was right in front of her—Samiyi had no intention of letting him off easily.

“Drag him away and lock him up!” Samiyi gestured with her hand, and immediately the guards seized Basha. “Once I’ve dealt with everything, throw him in prison for twenty years. I don’t want to see him again!”

Basha struggled as he pleaded: “Your Highness, you can’t do this to me. I have dedicated so much effort to this research base over the years…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence before the guards dragged him away.

...

Samiyi asked, “Does anyone else have any objections to my decision?”

Although the crowd had their doubts, after seeing Basha dragged away by the guards, they turned mute. No one wanted to end up in prison. Since Samiyi hadn’t considered this yet, it was better to remain silent.

Xite and Mia decided not to cause any more trouble either. They could find work elsewhere, but they absolutely couldn’t end up in prison.

Samiyi felt a bit worn out and said, “Everyone go back and pack your things. Leave. Go wherever you want, just don’t waste our resources by staying here. I will draft a resignation contract. Sign it and then you can leave.”

People in the meeting hall quickly scattered, worried Samiyi might change her mind, so it was best to slip away quickly.

Only after everyone had left did Tan Rou approach Samiyi, pulling a piece of candy from her pocket. “Have some candy. It can help relieve your fatigue.”

Samiyi stuffed the candy into her mouth and sighed, “At first, I thought they were just being lazy, but I didn’t expect they’d actually go behind the palace’s back and do all of this. I underestimated them.”

Tan Rou said, “They’re all nobles who don’t need to work, so they must have come here with a purpose. I don’t think the leisure area upstairs with food and drink is enough to attract them.”

Samiyi, exhausted, said, “We’ve been neglectful. We rarely pay attention to this place, only demanding the research outcomes without caring about each individual’s work.”

“In the past few years, we could at least see some results from the research, which, although not as good as your products, were still good enough for our country’s people.”

Samiyi continued, “But the quality has dropped significantly in recent years. My brother sent someone to investigate, but they found no major issues. The investigator said it was because our researchers lacked the skills to create quality products.”

Tan Rou complained, “Couldn’t you have come to check on things yourselves?”

“I can’t get out, and my brother doesn’t have the time, and Laka…” Samiyi said helplessly, “You know Laka’s condition, he couldn’t handle such matters. It would be better to have Mr. Lin deal with it than him.”

Speaking of Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin arrived.

“Your Highness, all the photos and videos have finished playing.” Lin Yu handed the USB drive to Samiyi. “Please keep this safe. It can be used as evidence.”

Tan Rou asked, “Were you the one who secretly filmed them?”

Lin Yu replied somewhat sheepishly, “It’s a bit complicated. I haven’t had the chance to explain to you all yet. When I have some free time, I’ll explain it to your team.”

“No need.” Tan Rou said, “I’ll explain to them.”

Lin Yu expressed his thanks, “Thank you for your understanding.”

But Tan Rou was worried about something else, “Aren’t you afraid they’ll retaliate against you for filming their theft and laziness?”

“Of course, I am!” Lin Yu replied with a smile. “That’s why I took the footage secretly! The moment anyone discovered me, I would tap into my fifty-meter sprint speed and bolt forward. That way, I wouldn’t get caught.”

Tan Rou couldn’t help but give him thumbs up as she asked, “Why do you put yourself at such risk?”

Lin Yu answered, “I just want to do something for those who are truly working hard.”
