Lu Jiaer did not reply for a few seconds. Mr. Jin, for all this time, you have had my respect and admiration. I looked up to you for the contributions you have made to science. Today, you have also earned my wors.h.i.+p.

Jin Shengpnig found this turn interesting. Jiaer, it is not normal for you to b.u.t.ter me up like this!

Lu Jiaer laughed as well. I realized just now that you are exceptionally eloquent, Mr. Jin. Besides, you are like a master in psychology. You have been performing suggestive therapy on me. I suppose you have convinced me!

You suppose? That means that you are not completely convinced by me yet. Jin Shengpings tone sounded mild.

It takes time for me to accept everything. Lu Jiaer explained.

Jin Shengping nodded. I hope it wont take you too long.

Lu Jiaer kept her gaze on him for a few seconds without saying anything. Come with me. I will take you to Jin Xiangdong. Jin Shengping said.

Lu Jiaer was surprised to hear this. Which Xiangdong? She asked.

Jin Shengping was aware that it was a process for Lu Jiaer to accept the facts. Your boyfriend. He replied.

Thank you. Lu Jiaer threw a glance at him.

Therefore, the two of them left the lab together. In the long corridor, Jin Shengping used his crutch as he walked side by side with Lu Jiaer. Occasionally, there would be some researchers in white lab coats who walked past them. She found it surreal that everyone was performing routine duties as if nothing had happened.

As if there was no invasion, no fight, no guns. As if all that had happened was a dream.

The two of them had been quiet, which was disrupted by Lu Jiaer. Mr. Jin, can I ask you a bold question?

Sure! Jin Shengping did not resist.

Are you planning to hide that Ace is a test subject from him forever? Lu Jiaer put forward her question.

Jin Shengping corrected her words, I hope you dont view yourselves as test subjects.

Inside, Lu Jiaer found it laughable. You didnt answer my question.

Do you think Xiangdong is still ignorant of everything after the scene you made? Jin Shengping asked in reply.

Then what are your plans for the one lying in the secret lab? Lu Jiaer probed further.

Jin Shenpings hand that held his crutch trembled uncontrollably when he heard her question. But he was able to regain a sense of calmness rather quickly. No plans for the time being.

Lu Jiaer turned her head to look at him. When they mentioned his real son, the seemingly calm Jin Shengping was experiencing some mental turmoil. Hypothetically, when you have a plan, what will become of Ace? Will he still exist?

That question went straight to the heart of the matter. Lu Jiaer believed that it was worth finding out because it was extremely critical.

She was an advanced AI. As of now, the problem bothering her was merely whether she could accept her ident.i.ty. But it was different in the case of Jin Xiangdong. If he were a subst.i.tute, when the original returned, then Jin Xiangdong was destined to eventually end in tragedy.

You have too many questions today! Jin Shengping avoided her question.

Are you afraid to answer the question or do you refuse to answer it? Lu Jiaer was adopting an aggressive att.i.tude.

A flash of complicated glow went past Jin Shengpings eyes. He could not answer Lu Jiaers question because this not only had served as the barrier between him and the living Jin Xiangdong now, but also the barrier between him and his daughter Jin Xianglan. It was not a decision that could be made casually.

Silence, long silence, in the long corridor. Nothing could be heard but for their footsteps, and the sound of Jin Shengpings crutch knocking against the ground.
