Lu Jia’er 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 worship.”
Jin Shengpnig found this turn interesting. “Jia’er, it is not normal for you to butter me up like this!”
Lu Jia’er 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 Shengping’s tone sounded mild.
“It takes time for me to accept everything.” Lu Jia’er explained.
Jin Shengping nodded. “I hope it won’t take you too long.”
Lu Jia’er 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 Jia’er was surprised to hear this. “Which Xiangdong?” She asked.
Jin Shengping was aware that it was a process for Lu Jia’er to accept the facts. “Your boyfriend.” He replied.
“Thank you.” Lu Jia’er 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 Jia’er. 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 Jia’er. “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 Jia’er put forward her question.
Jin Shengping corrected her words, “I hope you don’t view yourselves as test subjects.”
Inside, Lu Jia’er found it laughable. “You didn’t 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 Jia’er probed further.
Jin Shenping’s 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 Jia’er 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 Jia’er 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 identity. But it was different in the case of Jin Xiangdong. If he were a substitute, 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 Jia’er was adopting an aggressive attitude.
A flash of complicated glow went past Jin Shengping’s eyes. He could not answer Lu Jia’er’s 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 Shengping’s crutch knocking against the ground.
