"Oh, really? But you don't need to go personally. You could have entrusted Professor Schultz or Professor Whitten to go." Su Mucheng pouted.

In her heart, she didn't want Qiao Ze to take any risks.

After all, he was not only her lover but also the father of their two children.

"They have too much personal baggage." Qiao Ze shook his head slightly and then said, "Don't worry, I'll take a ship, and with Dou Dou there, there won't be any safety issues."

"After all, it's their territory, and besides..."

"Um, Mom and Dad, can I say something?"

"Hmm?" Su Mucheng turned her head angrily and looked at Dou Dou. If the two little ones weren't sleeping soundly in its basket, Dou Dou would probably get a scolding.

"Actually, Mom, you don't need to worry too much. I just received news that the big shots in Pennsylvania, New York State, and the Mayor of Philadelphia are holding an important secret network meeting. They've probably figured out why our Deep Sea Exploration system appeared in the waters near Philadelphia.

So they have almost decided to make an important decision: to reject hosting next year's World Mathematicians Conference in Philadelphia. They will probably soon inform the International Mathematical Union to choose another location. The Union might reorganize an online discussion this month to change the conference venue."

"Huh?" Su Mucheng was stunned.

Then she looked at Qiao Ze and found that he was also puzzled. They probably didn't expect things to be played this way.

"Reject the World Mathematicians Conference in Philadelphia?"

"Yes, Dad. They might be more concerned about your health than Mom is, afraid that something might happen to you during the conference. So they made this decision. Very clever; theoretically, if you stay far enough away, troubles will never find you."

"No, Dou Dou, how did you know about their secret network meeting? And at the first moment? Were you invited to the meeting?"

"No, Mom. Even though I wasn't invited, they used Microsoft's network meeting software. Microsoft is full of my underlings; isn't that like being invited? Of course, I know."

"Microsoft is all your underlings? Oh, do you mean the project for designing the operating system for the bio-supercomputing? Isn't that just a collaboration? Why have they become your underlings?"

Su Mucheng was clearly bewildered.

She just had a child; why has the world become something she can't understand?

Dou Dou's description always made her feel like this little guy had hacked the entire world.

"Because they are too dumb, we made them slightly smarter through friendly exchanges, allowing my database to get more data sources. This way, we can better refine our bio-supercomputing system. Dou Dou did all this for Dad's career."

"Wow..." A loud cry broke the silence in the room, leaving Su Mucheng no time to continue questioning.

If one of the two little ones wakes up, the other is sure to start crying soon, followed by a busy session. Most importantly, no matter what the two grandmas at home are doing, once the kids cry, they can hear it immediately and rush over...

Sure enough, before Su Mucheng could pick up the child, Ms. Su's voice came from outside the room: "Chengzi, are the babies awake? Quickly let Dou Dou bring them out. Let me check if the diaper needs to be changed. Change the diaper first, then feed them. The babies need to be comfortable eating."

"Got it, Mom. Sigh..."

Su Mucheng sighed; she was already a mom, yet her mom still treated her like a child, making her feel exhausted.

As she was feeling down, Qiao Ze had already picked up the crying sister first. The belatedly reacting brother also opened his eyes, perhaps seeing that his sister was being held while he was still lying there alone. His little eyeballs circled around, then he pursed his lips and began to cry loudly...

"Wow..."

The Qiao Family was lively again.

...

New York.

James Sterling saw some explosive news on his way to the company.

Though his "friends" and colleagues sometimes had outrageous ideas, they had extensive information sources.

For instance, someone exposed that Qiao Ze had accepted an invitation from the International Mathematical Union to attend the World Mathematicians Conference in Philadelphia next June.

See, there are still many smart people in this world.

Once this news broke out, it was easy for people to guess why the coordinates announced at the press conference were near Philadelphia and why these supposed explorers traveled from Huaxia to the East Coast.

Clearly, they came to show off, prompting another round of curses calling them "those idiots."

What should have been handled discreetly resulted in sending someone to be humiliated, followed by releasing a bunch of videos for mockery.

James Sterling reserved his opinion on these indignant words.

If he were more pessimistic, he would even suspect that those videos going viral had little to do with the guards sent there.

Because when he saw those videos and complaints, he suddenly remembered something.

The previous, previous Langley chief had said to the media: "Maybe our network is already controlled by artificial intelligence."

At that time, they were in a tense election campaign, and this former Langley chief happened to have switched sides, so saying such alarming words to criticize the then-current administration seemed a bit fear-mongering.

But in retrospect, it feels terrifying upon reflection. What if it were true?

As everyone knows, in this age, most people have become accustomed to getting information from the internet. Traditional media, whether television or newspapers or other forms, are losing influence.

The mature mobile internet era is different from the earlier internet age; it no longer requires people to search for information actively. Now, people are more accustomed to receiving information through various software pushes.

If the internet were indeed controlled by strong artificial intelligence, it could push the information it wants to spread to the fullest extent before managers could respond. In other words, artificial intelligence can transmit any information it wishes to disseminate.

As a finance expert, James Sterling fully understood how terrifying this could be. Just like he knew why running for election in this country requires raising vast amounts of funds.

Now he only hoped that none of this was true.

His mind was so full of these messy things that he didn't have time to think about why the big bosses at the company urgently called him in the morning.

But when he arrived at the company front desk and was told to go directly to the top floor conference room, James Sterling instantly became alert.

Clearly, something major happened...

After all, this was a place with clear hierarchies. Given his position, no, even with the status of his immediate superior, without special permission, he wouldn't have the qualifications to go directly to the top floor. Even the elevators to the top floor were different from theirs.

At that moment, James Sterling's brain began to operate rapidly. As the receptionist led him to the dedicated elevator, he began to recall the tone of his superior during the phone call... it seemed no different than usual.

Of course, that couldn't explain anything. He believed that everyone who reached a certain level in this company had similar capabilities. At least, they wouldn't panic during some major event. If you're not on M*VLEM*PYR, you're viewing a copy.

Even though they might have been panicking inside, they would surely calm down when making the call.

Alright...

There was no time for him to think any longer.

The speed of the dedicated elevator was so fast it made him slightly dizzy.

...

"Let's see who we have here? The company's youngest wealth manager, who handled a trillion-scale capital operation independently, did you know that? James, when I was your age, I was just a reckless kid who knew nothing."

In the high-end small conference room, there were only two people.

The speaker was one of the company's founders, now a senior partner and a member of the board, Fields.

Few outside the circle knew him, but in finance, he was already a top figure.

James Sterling's heart was tense.
