Tan Ron flipped through the documents and immediately recognized it. She had seen this robot before because 75% of the robot’s outer shell was designed by her, and the main program of this robot was completely written by her. “Xiao Rou, what’s wrong?” Mr. Tao could tell that something was wrong with Tan Ron’s expression. “Is there something wrong with the robot?”
Tan Rou answered honestly, “I was involved in the design of the robot’s shell, and I wrote the robot’s main program.”
Father Tao was very shocked. “This robot had been around for more than a year. If it was made by you, when did you start designing this robot?”
“13 years old.” Tan Rou recalled the past. “I started developing this robot program when I was 13.”
Father Tao’s expression was very serious. “Rourou, I shouldn’t interfere with your privacy, but both of us want to know where the Tan family sent you back then. How did you know these things?”
Tan Rou looked around and pulled her parents back to the car. After the car door was closed, she said, “Back then, I was sent to the Brain Development Research Institute. The researchers there were dedicated to studying the human brain and making the best use of it.”
“Exploring the human brain sounds like a good thing.”
Tan Rou shook her head slightly and said with a sad expression, “They were stimulating our brains by forcing us. For example, if we can’t memorize 200 English words today, we won’t be allowed to eat. The next day, he would add another 200. If we still couldn’t finish memorizing, we would continue to starve. Many people can’t even last three days.”
Mother Tao’s heart ached. “Xiao Rou, how much have you suffered?”
Tan Rou felt that it was all in the past. She didn’t want to remember it anymore. Right now, she just wanted to figure out the robot’s programming. “These hardships are nothing. Now that I’m back, everything is alright now. Dad, do you know where Meng Si bought this robot program from?” Tan Rou asked Father Tao.
Mr. Tao wasn’t too sure about this. When he heard the news, Meng Si had already bought the robot program. If he had gotten the news earlier, he would have taken down the robot program at all costs.
“I don’t know much. The Meng family hid the robot program very well and protected the seller’s information very well. I’ve only found a few clues after so many years,” Mr. Tao said.
“Can you tell me more about it?” Tan Rou asked. She was certain that the robot shell was the one she designed back then, and the program was also written by her back then. However, she did not know who sold the robot program without her knowledge.
“Sure. Meng Si bought this robot program from a research team called RV,” said Father Tao. “We also contacted this research team after that but they didn’t have the finished product in their hands and were unwilling to cooperate with us. Moreover, they had not produced any works in the past two years.”
“She was indeed the one who sold the robot.” Tan Rou sneered. “But she’s really bold. She has to pay legal responsibility for stealing someone else’s work for profit.”
Mrs. Tao finally had a chance to speak. “Xiao Rou, who is this person you’re talking about? And what happened to you back then?”
Tan Rou said, “This RV research team is the team I was in back then. The team name is formed by the first letter of my name and another girl’s name. I’m R, and that girl is X. I’m the captain, and she’s the vice-captain.”
She continued, “Back then, the robot program had already been developed. At that time, I wanted to make the robot first before putting it on the market and getting all the patents. However, the other person was unwilling to do so. She wanted to get the money first. Not long after, the second development of my brain failed. That’s when I lost my memory and was sent back to the Tan family.”
Tan Ron’s eyes were cold. “She must have sold this robot program to Meng Si. Using my things to sell for money, Liu Xing is definitely getting bolder these days..”
