Chapter 160: Chapter 160
Qin Manman opened her eyes groggily and instantly shed tears from the irritation of the lights.
She quickly turned her head and closed her eyes, but her heart surged with wild joy—
She ultimately survived!
After the wild joy faded, anxiety seized her heart uncontrollably—
With such a big fire, what happened to the Research Institute?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel resentment—if it weren’t for the institute’s constant suppression, including Mr. Chang Geng’s various criticisms, data being rejected repeatedly, experiments always inexplicably scolded... she wouldn’t have wanted to sneak into the laboratory at midnight to work hard...
Thus, she wouldn’t have accidentally knocked over the new reagent due to emotions and fatigue, nor accidentally broken the automatic fire extinguishing device...
In her last memory, it was the scorching pain on her cheeks...
Qin Manman reached her trembling hands to her face, not daring to imagine what she would do if she was disfigured... This text is hosted at novel⟡fire.net
But unexpectedly, her fingers touched smooth skin without any trace of burns!
Qin Manman immediately sat up!
And her hair, she pulled out a strand in front of her chest and carefully observed that the hair was intact, just a bit dirty...
Taking a look around, this was obviously a makeshift tent, with many people lying on beds around her, even without a thin blanket...
Where exactly is this?!
At this moment, a nurse lifted the tent flap and walked in with a notebook, seeing her awake and immediately approached:
"You’re awake, that’s great, surviving such a disaster brings future blessing, ease your mind... By the way, your body hasn’t suffered any injuries, we’re tight on bed space now, if you’re feeling alright, you can sign a paper to free up this bed."
The rescue team had ample electricity after receiving supplies last night, enabling them to search through the night; by this morning, many more people have been saved from surrounding hotels.
Among them, members of the Zhou Family and Mr. Qin.
But unfortunately, at this moment, Qin Manman wasn’t thinking of her father at all; instead, her trembling fingers caressed the last recorded date on the notebook—
Yet the year she died in the fire was clearly 2025...
She... had been reborn!!!
After a brief daze, immense joy swept over her heart!
She possessed the ability and experience from her past life, with such advanced wisdom and insight, this time around, she would definitely not let anyone pick on her as they did in her previous life!
She wanted Chang Geng to regret, to desire her but never attain, to suffer a lifetime of pain!
She wanted to gain international fame, let everyone know her true capabilities, and never again let anyone criticize her data, nor repeatedly scold her for minor mistakes...
In her past life, she also experienced this earthquake, but she was fortunate enough to be trapped under a collapsed stone slab along with a Tianfeng Research Institute scientist.
They lived and died together in a cramped space, waiting for 70 agonizing hours before rescue arrived...
However, the scientist ultimately couldn’t hold on, but he enabled Qin Manman to have a trump card at Tianfeng; when they hired new staff later on, she was extraordinarily recruited due to this reason...
What was the scientist’s name again? Seems like his surname was Zhao?
Years had passed, and Qin Manman couldn’t clearly remember, but she resolved—
This life, I will definitely be grateful to you!
I will give your family big sums of money and help, so they never need to worry again...
"Is Qin Manman in here? I’m here to inquire about Professor Zhao..."
A young man entered the tent.
He wore a white coat from Tianfeng Research Institute, likely soiled due to the earthquake.
Hot tears flowed uncontrollably from Qin Manman’s eyes—indeed, it was true!
Yes, someone sought her in the same way in her past life...
Professor Zhao... So it was Zhao!
Qin Manman thought: I remembered correctly!
Her eyes reddened, and big tears rolled down, her emotions overflowing with sorrow and choked words:
"It’s me... You wanted to know about Teacher Zhao’s condition?"
She whimpered, already too choked to speak.
However, the young scientist opposite her was momentarily stunned:
Qin Manman didn’t hear clearly what he said, but at that moment, as she buried her face in her hands sobbing, she swiftly made a decision in her heart!
She hurriedly wiped her tears and interrupted the young man: "Teacher Zhao was worried about his research before he died, he regretted not being braver and trying harder to synthesize new materials..."
