“Father, before I met Jia’er, I had always had the conviction that BUA Technology was in the lead in the field of AI development. However, once II learned that Jia’er is an advanced AI, I have come to realize that behind an able man there are always other able men.” Jin Xiangdong was still committed to convincing his father.

Jin Shengping had questions after he heard the explanation, “What is special about Lu?”

“Originally, she was able to read people’s minds before that function was turned off. However, after she updated, she regained that ability and the rest of her potential has yet to be explored!” Jin Xiangdong answered.

“Mind-reading? Upgrade? Can you be more specific?” Jin Shengping asked for clarity.

“Mind reading means that she can hear the inner voice of other people. As for the upgrades, the most noticeable function as of now is hypnosis!” Jin Xiangdong made it clearer.

Jin Shengping squinted his eyes. “I don’t know much about the field of psychology. But I heard that psychologists, with professional knowledge, can analyze a subject’s personality and characteristics from his or her behaviors and style of conversation. Psychologists call that mind-reading. As for hypnosis, isn’t that a form of treatment in the field of psychology? Is it possible that Lu is so obsessed with her field of study that she is experiencing… You may find it offensive for me to say this, but throughout history, many experts in psychology have suffered from some form of mental diseases!”

“Father, it is not like that. For Jia’er, her mind-reading ability enables her to know everything and every detail on your mind when you are sitting across her. As for the hypnosis ability, she can hypnotize people directly by looking into their eyes and wipe away certain memories.” Jin Xiangdong contended.

Jin Xiangdong said with sincerity. “Xiangdong, I don’t want to deny your words or argue with you. But I need to see proof. Seeing is believing.” Jin Shengping stressed.

“I understand. I don’t think many people will buy this story. But, Father…” At this point, Jin Xiangdong paused.

Jin Shengping looked at him, waiting for Jin Xiangdong to continue.

“As for the identity of Jia’er, I hope you can accept that! If for no other reason besides that… I love her dearly!” Jin Shengping tried to prepare Jin Shengping mentally and expressed his affection to Lu Jia’er while he was at it.

Jin Shengping replied, “If she is a combination of human and AI, then actually, I cannot wait to meet her!”

Those words comforted Jin Xiangdong a bit. As he had expected, scientists had better psychological endurance compared with the average people. Anyone else would think this was a story from Arabian Nights.

“She will fly over this weekend.” Jin Xiangdong mentioned.

Jin Shengping looked at him. “Why didn’t you tell me this when you were here a couple of days ago?”

“I had planned to tell you. However, Jia’er was afraid that the truth would sabotage the beautiful mood. So, she asked me not to tell you just yet. We can see from the fact that I am right! You have always been an exceptional parent. I believed that you wouldn’t mind her identity.” Jin Xiangdong answered.

Jin Shengping interrupted him. “Don’t be so smug. We will see when we meet her!”

Even Jin Shengping didn’t give an affirmative reaction, Jin Xiangdong found himself relaxed. As a scientist, Jin Shengping would view the relationship between Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia’er more reasonably.

“Sure!” Jin Xiangdong said. He had not slept last night. Fatigue assaulted him as he became relieved. “Father, I am feeling a bit tired. I will head upstairs and take a rest.”

Jin Shengping nodded. Jin Xiangdong went upstairs. Jin Shengping looked at his son as he vanished to the corner of the staircase. There was no telling what Jin Shengping was thinking from his expressions. Soon, his calmness restored. He stood up on his crutches and went back to the study.
