Are You Messing with Me?

"What about that lab technician?" Han Jiang hurriedly asked.

Yilona's expression turned even uglier. After all, this counted as a family scandal.

Good grief. Such a critical place for pharmaceutical production had suffered such a massive blunder.

"What about the backup lines?"
