Trouble Brewing

Xinghe added emphasis to her question.

Ruobing and her two lackeys were temporarily stunned by her majestic presence.

However, it was naturally impossible for Ruobing, who was used to be honored at the top, to bow down to Xinghe.

"But you did steal," she glared at Xinghe and insisted stubbornly.

"You took the design papers away without giving any of us any head-ups so that constitutes stealing! You could have come to me in person to ask for it but you didn't. Instead you snatched it from me without giving me any notice, so that is stealing, there is no way around it. Furthermore, this is a display of utter disrespect towards me and the rules upheld by this community. You might be leading the lab but you are not above the rules here!"

Xinghe smiled slightly. She was losing her patience with this kind of person who refused to argue using logic.
