BossNovelChapter 525
Maggie was flabbergasted, "We were all there, not like the place was empty. The equipment wasn't in use just for
a bit and went into standby mode. We were gonna use it again soon. Who in their right mind would just turn it
off?" Deep down, Roseanne had a hunch, but she needed more proof.
"Con, let's check out the lab across the hall."
Maggie was puzzled, "Why? That's a different department's lab. What's that got to do with us?"
Scales, sensing something was off, quickly followed, "Just go, will ya? Stop asking so many questions."
Maggie mumbled under her breath, "Wow, someone's feeling brave!"
The tmade their way to the opposite lab, and sure enough, a full set of fire safety equipment was now
installed in the corner.
"This..." Maggie was speechless, "This wasn't here last month!"
They inspected a few more labs and, without exception, all the previously missing or incomplete safety
equipment was now fully stocked. Maggie felt a chill down her spine, "Is... is someone targeting us?"

Every lab in the department had their fire safety equipment updated except for theirs. Until now, Maggie had
thought it was just bad luck.
A random inspection landing on them, catching them at their worst...
She never considered someone might be deliberately setting them up.
With a snort, Roseanne led them straight to the vice dean's office.
Babur White recognized the timmediately as the new master's students recruited by Madeleine this year.
Especially Roseanne, the first newbie this year to land a publication in "Science," a moment that had left a
lasting impression during the department meeting.
"Miss Cole, what can | do for you?" Babur greeted with a smile, recalling the recent admonishments from Corley
and Owen Reynolds.
"Director White, our lab's been ordered to make corrections. Are you aware of that?"
Babur nodded, "I've heard. Is there a problem?"
"The problem is, why do all the other labs have complete fire safety equipment, but ours is missing pieces? And,

on us?"
Roseanne spoke up, "The department should have safety standards to meet, right? If a lab has issues, the
department shares the responsibility. You're smart enough not to shoot yourself in the foot, but that doesn't
mean someone isn't setting traps."
"If things go south, it won't just be us falling into the trap. You won't escape unscathed either."
"Miss Cole, what are you suggesting?" Babur looked at her, eyes wide with suspicion.
"If | were you, I'd check if these 'coincidences' are truly just that, or someone's playing a game." With that, she
left with Maggie and Scales.
Babur sat still, lost in thought.
After a while, he picked up his phone and dialed a number:
"Cto my office... Yes, right now!"
"Roseanne, what did you mean by all that? I'm still kinda lost here."
Scales couldn't stand it anymore

"It's got to be someone's doing!"
"Tell me, did you report us?"
Babur stared at the woman in front of him, his expression cold as he interrogated her.
