Nana and I have been childhood sweethearts. We have been in a relationship for eight years and our feelings for each other are as deep as the ocean.

When I was young, the fortune teller at home said that I would bring bad luck to my parents, so my family treated me coldly. The 10 million generously given by Chairman Smith was given to my parents by me, buying out the cold parent-child relationship.

Now, Nana is ill, but I am short of money and unable to help her. The 2 million prize money of the artificial intelligence competition seems to be the only life-saving straw I can grasp. Do I really have to embark on the road of competition to save her life?

I sighed helplessly. Perhaps this was fate's test for me, forcing me to face this cruel life again.

I returned to the lab after my leave, only to see Tyler alone. The look on his face that said "I knew you would come back" instantly ignited an unknown fire in my heart.

"I haven't recovered from my illness yet, and I want to go home to do experiments. The teacher has agreed. You don't have to get up early to accompany me to the laboratory in the future." I said coldly.

The smirk on his face froze instantly. Seeing me packing my things, he hurriedly said, "Then I'll go home with you to write code and take care of you while I'm at it, okay?"

I politely refused, but he still wanted to pester me. I didn't say anything, just slipped away.

How much did he sell me for in my previous life? Is he still trying to make more money in this life? I will never let him succeed.

Reason told me that Chairman Smith and his family would not give up easily.

When I got home, I immediately checked my computer and room, fearing that someone had installed eavesdropping or monitoring equipment. Fortunately, everything was fine, and I was relieved.

Then I plunged into the ocean of code and was very busy.

At about nine o'clock, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw Nana, her brows were furrowed.

"Have you been cold to Tyler? Do you know how worried he is about you? Can you please stop being jealous? Tyler and I met because of you!" Her series of words made me feel a little aggrieved.

But when I thought about how Nana had always been with me in my previous life, I couldn't bear to blame her. She might be the only person in the world who was kind to me.

After thinking it over, I decided to tell Ethan Smith everything about how Tyler had stolen my code from me in my previous life and given it to him.

Nana was surprised at first, then furious: "How could this happen? Tyler and Chairman Smith's family are too much! So you're giving up the competition? But the doctor just found out that I have kidney disease, and I may need a lot of money to get a kidney transplant!"

An inexplicable emotion flashed across her face.

"But no matter what, Ray , you must not participate in this competition. I would rather die than have you be cyberbullied!" Her words were full of concern.

I was heartbroken and hugged her tightly: "How could I watch you die? Without Tyler this time , I will definitely not let him cheat! Don't worry, I will definitely get the prize money to give you a kidney!"

Nana hugged me and nodded silently.

However, Chairman Smith seemed to be declaring war on me, and announced loudly that the first-place winner of the iris recognition competition would be used in his financial products, and the prize money would be increased accordingly.

Everyone said that Chairman Smith was keeping the money within his family, and the first place must be Ethan Smith .

Nana always encouraged me and made me block out the negative voices. In order to make me better engaged, she dragged her sick body to cook nutritious meals for me every day. Her cooking skills were comparable to those of a five-star chef, and I was very satisfied.

Seeing how much she trusted me, how could I let her down? I stayed up late every day just to show my skills in the competition.

Finally, on the last day before the competition, I submitted the code with full confidence.

However, the ending was disappointing. Ethan Smith submitted his code 10 minutes before me, and the judges of the competition again judged that I had plagiarized, and I was once again pushed to the forefront.

I hid at home like a stray dog, while Ethan Smith stood on the podium in gorgeous clothes. Chairman Smith personally presented him with the award and announced that the iris recognition system designed by his son would be put into use that night.

Just like in my previous life, there was a lot of abuse online. Nana wanted to take my electronic devices away, but I didn't let her. Because I was waiting.

In the early morning of the next day, a trending search rushed to the top:

"The iris recognition system of the Smith Family Group's financial software failed, and even a dog's eyes could be used to withdraw money."

" The money in the Smith Family Group's financial user accounts evaporated overnight."

" According to reliable sources, the Smith Family had as much as 50 billion stolen tonight. The chairman of the Smith Family Group once promised users that if the money in the Smith Family was stolen, the Smith Family would compensate 20 times. I don't know whether the Smith Family Group will fulfill its promise."

After the news came out, no one cared whether I plagiarized or not. Everyone was busy checking the money in their accounts. I could finally sleep peacefully.

But someone just won't let me sleep. Nana called me angrily: "Ray, what's going on? Why is there a problem with Ethan Smith's code?"

I responded calmly: "His code has problems, what does it have to do with me?"

Nana's gritted teeth came from the phone: "When did you find out?"

I continued to play dumb: "What did I...find?"

Revenge was successful.
