Chapter 6 — Mother-in-law Slaps Me, I Make The Whole Family Pay

When Chu Hao sent the core description… My blood froze. That was an idea I discussed with Co Vi all night long. A concept for a future AI community — bold, but not yet complete. At that time, I made it very clear: In its current technical condition, it has dead spots that cannot be overcome. If forced to do so... the system will definitely collapse from the ground up. Co Vi then laughed and said I was too cautious. He really took that unfinished idea and turned it into a "lifesaver". And greedy. I looked at the chat box, typing quickly with my fingers.

“Chu Hao, do you believe me?”

"Sister, I believe it. Everyone in the company doesn't know that you're the real one."

"Then do me a favor. Get me all the internal meeting minutes and technical documents related to that project."

My chance has come. One chance... enough to give him no way back.

“Sang Vi Technology” acts very quickly.

In less than half a month, they loudly announced that they would hold a strategic press conference to launch a new generation smart home AI system - "Khai Minh". Still the same name. Perhaps Co Vi believes that... Wherever you fall, you have to get up. The event was held at the city's largest convention center. More than a hundred media units, along with a series of major industry figures and investors, were invited. Unprecedented monumental scale. Clearly, he had put all his bets on this one. The day of the event, I didn't tell anyone. Go there alone. Simple black outfit, rimless glasses — something I rarely wear. I sat quietly in the last row. Unnoted. Bright lights. The background music rises. Co Vi stepped onto the stage. High-class vest, confident demeanor. He's still the same. Still beautiful. Still good at… playing the role of a successful person. Under the spotlight, he talked endlessly. Draw a vision of how "Khai Minh" will change human life, how it will connect all things, and create a completely new intelligent world. Those ideas. Those words. So familiar that it... sent chills down my spine. Because every sentence, every word, is what I once said to him. During long nights, when I leaned on the sofa, my eyes lit up, excitedly telling him about the future. Even the examples I used... He left out every word. Under the stands, applause rang out. The flash flashed continuously, like a brilliant starry sky. The investors nodded, satisfied smiles clearly appearing on their faces. The corner of Co Vi's lips slightly raised. A smile of someone who is sure of victory. He scanned the auditorium, like a king looking at his domain. Just sitting there quietly. Inside... cold as ice. Good drama… It's just begun.

“Next, everyone is invited to witness… How ‘Khai Minh’ will light up our future!”

Co Vi's voice rose. He pressed the button to start the demonstration. The large screen in the middle of the stage immediately displayed a brilliant UI interface — Designed by me. On stage is a smart home model: refrigerator, air conditioner, curtains, speakers... completely real.

“Just one command.”

He cleared his throat.

“Khai Minh, activate home mode.”

According to the scenario, the lights will dim. Curtains closed. Soft music sounded. A perfect warm space. Nothing happened. The stage... was eerily silent. Co Vi's smile harden. He forced himself to repeat:

“Khai Minh, activate home mode.”

At that moment— Everything… exploded. The smart speaker suddenly screamed shrill rock music, the volume turned to max, vibrating the whole space. The curtains jerked continuously, opening and closing randomly as if having a seizure. The air conditioner blew hot air, causing the temperature in the hall to skyrocket. And the refrigerator— The door burst open. Drinks, eggs, vegetables... They were shot out like artillery shells, scattered all over the stage. The whole scene… was completely out of control. The audience below turned from surprise to panic. Reporters frantically clicked away, recording every moment of the disaster that was both funny and horrifying.

"What's going on! Turn it off! Turn it off quickly!"

Co Vi's face was bloodless, he turned down and shouted backstage. But to no avail. The system has entered a state of irreversible logical collapse. This is the death point... I have warned it for a long time. Just as the entire hall was in chaos— The big screen suddenly went black. The music stopped abruptly. All eyes... focused there. A second later, the screen lit up. A video starts playing. The person in the video— I sat in front of my desk, behind me was a whiteboard filled with drawings. Look straight into the camera. Calm, clear voice.
