Jin Xianglan knew in her heart that this Jin Xiangdong was not her real brother. Nevertheless, she had complicated feelings for him and she had been struggling with them. To her, he was no longer as simple as a test subject. She had been treating him as her real biological brother and yet, he was a result of her research. She created him with her own hands, a living being.

At the very beginning, every time she met him, she would be filled with internal conflict. Later on, she began to struggle and eventually, she accepted him entirely. She liked it that he could stand in front of her in real life, when he smiled at her and when he talked to her. The bond shared between the siblings had been splashed with a sense of relationship between a mother and her son.

Just like that, she accepted him as her real brother. She let him live on as her brother, and finish many unfulfilled wishes that her brother had.

He had been able to live up to their expectations. He was just as smart as her brother and had the same cold demeanor. All of her brother’s traits accurately carried over into him.

Jin Xianglan gazed at Jin Xiangdong. “Xiangdong, I know that, sooner or later, you will find out the truth. I just hope you remember one thing. The bond between us as sister and brother is real. And I have been cherishing you.”

Jin Xiangdong did not doubt the bond shared between him and her. Recalling what Lu Jia’er said, Jin Xiangdong had already had some sense of conclusion.

“Sister, even if I am a test subject, I will not doubt the bond between us!” Jin Xiangdong stated.

Jin Xinglan forced a quite unnatural smile. What’s done by night appears by day. It’s true. The facts would be revealed eventually.

“Take a good rest. Don’t overthink things!” Jin Xianglan patted his hands.

With that said, Jin Xianglan left the lab, leaving Jin Xiangdong alone in the lab with the intravenous drip.

Quietness soon returned to the lab. It was so quiet that the intravenous drip was the only thing making a sound. After that conversation, Jin Xiangdong found his thoughts messier than before Jin Xianglan came. His ident.i.ty was beyond a doubt now.

Lu Jia’er mentioned that, just like her, he was a test subject, not Jin Xianglan’s biological brother. From those words, Jin Xiangdong drove the conclusion that Lu Jia’er knew the truth and had met the real Jin Xiangdong.

When Lu Jia’er found out that she was an advanced AI and that her fate was controlled by others, she was helpless, scared and afraid. As a subst.i.tute, what would be the words to describe his feeling at the moment?

Fear, extreme fear!

He had never had a single question about his life in the past few years. He lived in the real world and he worked diligently. The only regret was that he could not help bridge the gap between his sister and his father.

Now that he thought about it, the gap must have appeared because of him. One of them was supportive of the idea and the other was against it. In the end, they reached the consensus of letting him live and work abroad. The one against the plan must be Jin Shengping.

Jin Xiangdong reached out his hand to yank off the needle on his hand. He got up from the bed. A tingling pain pa.s.sed through from his chest, making him frown.

When he was about to jump off the bed, the door was opened again. This time, it was Jin Shengping.

Jin Xiangdong stopped for a second. To be honest, his mind was chaotic. He had not the slightest idea of how to face Jin Shengping. After some hesitation, he said, “father”, just as before.

Jin Shengping came over on his crutch. “Are you okay?” He checked Jin Xiangdong up and down.

“Yes.” Jin Xiangdong said.

“If you are okay, get dressed and let’s go back home.” Jin Shengping told him.

Jin Xiangdong was startled. “Back home?”

Jin Shengping threw him a meaningful glance. “Yes.” He said in a low voice.

To be honest, Jin Xiangdong was a bit awed by Jin Shengping here and found things a bit strange. Yet, Jin Xiangdong did as he was told. He reached out to grab the clothes on the side of the bed and got dressed. Then, he followed Jin Shengping and left the lab.
