Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 634

Edna's voice cut through the chatter, instantly drawing all eyes to her.

"What are you up to?!" Babur, sensing mischief, stretched out his hand to pull her back.

Shrugging him off without a glance, Edna fixed her gaze on Roseanne: "Well, why the silence? Got nothing to say?!"

"So, am I to understand that your lab is operating without proper authorization, making it illegal!"

Roseanne just laughed.

Mamie and Scales joined in.

"What's so funny?!" Edna felt an inexplicable panic.

Mamie said, "Lucky for us, Roseanne had the foresight to predict that as soon as the lab was up, there'd be troublemakers popping up. So, she insisted we get all our ducks in a row. What document would you like to see, Ms. Edna? I'll fetch it right away."

"According to the 'Pathogen Lab Biosecurity Management Regulations,' Article 7: new, modified, or expanded level 3 and 4 labs, as well as the production or import of mobile level 3 and 4 labs, must compile an environmental impact report and submit it for approval as per the designated procedure. Did you manage to get this approval?" Edna's smirk was loaded with skepticism.

The new rule was issued just last March, aimed at controlling the number of bio labs, to minimize environmental impact.

Given it was a measure of control, approvals wouldn't come easy.
