Chapter 134: Four Years Later

Professor T's heart trembled slightly, and he revealed a gratified smile: "Go, child."

"The children of the Nangong Family are no cowards."

"Your mother would be proud of you."

After saying goodbye to the two, Qin Shu turned and boarded the off-road vehicle.

Before she got into the car, she turned her head to take one last look at them.

Leaving like this, she did not know in what year or month she would be able to return.

Qin Shu took a deep look at Professor T and Xie Jin, the two relatives in this world who shared her blood.

She took one last look and got into the car without the slightest hesitation.

The off-road vehicle drove further and further away until it gradually became a black dot and could no longer be seen; only then did Professor T withdraw his gaze, turn back, and say to Xie Jin, "Let's go back."

"Remember, from this day forward, Qin Shu is dead."

"The young miss of the Nangong Family has been found and is studying abroad."

Xie Jin: "Yes, Second Uncle."

That same day, Professor T returned to his country and never went to China again.

China.

Gu Tingyan returned to Rose Manor holding Qin Shu's urn.

The man stood in the empty room, the chill surrounding him wrapped in an unprecedented loneliness; he sat on the sofa, watching Qin Shu's photograph placed on the table, his entire body in such pain that even his bone marrow was trembling.

A faint, ethereal sound of crying rang out in the room, sorrowful, desperate, agonizing, and heart-wrenching.

An unprecedented pain swept through his entire body, causing his heart to spasm with pain as if he were about to die, making it difficult to breathe.

When he first learned of Chu Sheng's passing, Gu Tingyan had never felt such pain and suffering.

Having lost Qin Shu, the man finally understood what it meant to have one's heart torn apart by pain.

Four years later.

An explosive piece of news sparked discussion across the entire internet, and even caused a huge sensation and reaction globally!

Weibo's trending searches climbed through four consecutive explosive news items, followed by countless "Burst" tags.

On this day, the whole country was stirred: the anti-cancer drug had been successfully developed!

This historic moment was worthy of being written into the history books.

China had developed an anti-cancer drug; this was simply an unprecedented, massive surprise and shock.

Some were happy, and some were worried.

In China, at a certain secret research institute, a huge burst of cheering and joy erupted.

"Success! It's a success!"

"Qin Shu! You are simply our god!"

Qin Shu wore a white lab coat, a smile lingering on the corners of her lips; looking at the ecstatic smiles on the faces of the colleagues who had fought day and night alongside her, her own face also held a few more smiles.

This was the first time in these four years that Qin Shu had laughed so freely and happily.

Qin Shu said with a calm smile: "It is all thanks to the top-tier assistance from my senior brothers and sisters."

"Otherwise, I would not have been able to develop the anti-cancer drug alone."

One person's success came from the top-tier meeting of colleagues; this research achievement was the result of everyone's collective struggle.

The anti-cancer drug had already been in development for over a decade; not only China, but countries all over the world had been researching it, and even earlier than that, they had invested massive amounts of capital and time into cancer research.

However, none had achieved any significant results.

Behind the technically difficult problems to overcome lay unimaginable scientific research data and days and nights of toil.

Qin Shu had joined this secret research institute four years ago; over these four years, she had built upon the foundations of those who came before her and attempted countless experiments before finally achieving a breakthrough.

After the anti-cancer drug was developed, the laboratory found thirty cancer patients to conduct clinical trials, all of which achieved huge success.

The man in front of her, wearing blue and white plaid, looked at Qin Shu with an excited expression and knelt directly before her: "Divine Doctor Qin, thank you for saving the lives of our group."

Qin Shu hurriedly went over to help him up: "Get up quickly, this is what I should have done in the first place."

A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers rang out in the research institute, and every face was brimming with smiles.

The successful development of this technology would put China countless steps ahead of other countries, achieving remarkable results and, more importantly, saving countless families.

"Huahua, we succeeded." Ji Yanli walked in, holding a vial of reagent, an excited smile on his face.

"Everyone, get a good rest today; there is still plenty to be busy with later. This technology has already been reported to the state." The Elder looked at the joyful crowd, a smile also on his face.

The Elder was the teacher of Qin Shu and Ji Yanli; he was a national-level heavyweight figure and also an academician at China's highest-level secret research institute.

Once the Elder gave the word, everyone received their orders and returned to their respective posts to finish the remaining work before heading back to the dormitories.

The Elder looked at Qin Shu with a smile, his face full of gratification: "Teacher knew that you, child, would definitely succeed."

Qin Shu also smiled: "Teacher, I have lived up to your expectations."

Qin Shu felt that she was very fortunate in this life; being able to meet her teacher, a noble person, was the most important thing in her life, and although she had made some very irrational decisions in the past, her teacher had never given up on her.

The teacher had given her countless support and steadfastness.

When Qin Shu first arrived at the laboratory, her academic qualifications were the lowest; she was the only undergraduate student in the institute, while the rest of her senior brothers and sisters were all doctoral students.

No one was convinced by Qin Shu, and it was the teacher who stood up to vouch for her, which allowed Qin Shu to stay.

Later, Qin Shu also used her own strength to prove herself; her ability was indeed sufficient for her to remain in this research institute.

Without the teacher, there would be no "today" for her.

And the other person Qin Shu should thank was Ji Yanli.

Every time she was at the lowest point in her life, Ji Yanli would appear behind her, giving her support and encouragement, and taking care of her a great deal.

Qin Shu was the teacher's most prized student, and also the "love-struck fool" he had once hated most for not living up to his expectations.

Today, she was also his proudest student.

This student is like a double-edged sword; one must hold her well to make use of her, but fortunately, this child has returned.

The Elder smiled as he looked at the two prize students before him: "Both of you go back and get some good rest."

"There will be plenty to be busy with later."

Qin Shu and Ji Yanli: "Yes."

Qin Shu took off her white lab coat and walked out side-by-side with Ji Yanli, both of them wearing smiles on their faces.

Ji Yanli looked at the woman beside him with a gentle gaze: "What are your plans for later?"

"The anti-cancer drug research has succeeded; perhaps by now you have already become famous overnight in the outside world." Ji Yanli wore a smile, his eyes full of joy for her, without a trace of jealousy.

Qin Shu is not even thirty years old this year, yet she is already world-renowned, and her future prospects are limitless.

With the anti-cancer drug developed, she will not be staying in this secret research institute later on.

"I plan to start a company."

Qin Shu turned her head to look at the man beside her, a smile on her lips, and reached out her hand to him: "Senior Brother, why not join me and be my partner."

Ji Yanli pursed his lips and smiled: "Alright."

Ji Yanli looked at Qin Shu and said in a low voice: "That child is very healthy now; after you go out, do you want to go see them?"
