The product launch this time was targeted toward mainstream media and manufacturers with whom they might collaborate in the future. There were also world-renowned medical equipment companies included.

Xi Cheng’s family had a pharmaceutical and medical company with operations around the world. And as the only surviving owner of the family, Xi Cheng spent a lot of time every day handling the company’s affairs.

Not only did he have to look through the various documents the company’s CEO had sent to his desk, but he would also spend time looking at the emails sent by his direct subordinates. These emails included information the CEO did not want Xi Cheng to know, as well as evidence of the shady stuff some of the company’s higher-ups were involved in. Because he had the help of these loyal subordinates, even if Xi Cheng did not do well and lived in an ancient castle all year round, he still knew the businesses under his name like the back of his hand.

Today, Xi Cheng had spent more time on rehabilitation training. He was too lazy to look at the reports and documents that were piled up on the table, so he switched on his computer to check his private email first.

A subordinate who worked at the medical equipment company sent over a video file that often lasted for almost two hours. Usually, under such circumstances, something big must have happened. Xi Cheng frowned and opened the document first.

As the video played, the surprise on Xi Cheng’s face was gradually replaced by joy. When he saw the boy in the video who was only 17 or 18 years old but had unfortunately lost both his legs, easily put on his prosthetic limbs, and then performed running and jumping movements that seemed no different from ordinary people, the surprise in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He pressed the bell, and the middle-aged butler named William quickly came to the study.

Xi Cheng asked William to watch the video on the computer with him. William looked at the girl on the screen who was introducing robotic exoskeletons including smart prosthetic limbs and his heart surged with a pleasant surprise that was no less than Xi Cheng.

“Master, if the robotic exoskeletons in this company can reach the same level as smart prosthetic limbs, you’ll be able to stand up very soon.”

The butler smiled happily and said, “Master, I’ll get someone to contact them and get their professional team to rush over to customize a set of exoskeleton equipment for you.”

Xi Cheng dragged the video progress bar back and specially looked at the scene of Bi Ying moving freely after putting on the prosthetic limbs. Before his backbone was injured, he had never imagined that one day, he would treat a brat who had lost both legs as his hope.

However, Xi Cheng shook his head at the butler’s suggestion. “No, William, there’s no need to get them to send someone to service me.”

William frowned. “Master, although I don’t know if their products are as amazing as described, we have to give it a try. We mustn’t give up on every hope there is.”

Xi Cheng shook his head, his gaze landing on the girl with short purple hair on the screen. He suddenly said, “William, there’s a voice in my dream.”

After a moment, the butler understood what Xi Cheng had said. “Master, in your dream, has Madam finally spoken to you?”

Xi Cheng smiled and nodded. “Yeah, it’s been so many years. Although I still don’t see her face, I heard her say to me, ‘You’re back. The child was a little naughty today and kicked me a few times. I heard her clearly. She’s talking in Chinese. She’s from China. Let those people who are looking for her in Japan and South Korea come back.”

The butler was happy for Xi Cheng and smiled too. “Congratulations, Master. I think you’ll be able to find Madam very soon.”

Xi Cheng sighed. “It’s like I had said. The other half of my bloodline is Chinese, so the wife I’m finding should be Chinese. You guys insisted on going to Japan and South Korea to find her. My standards are so high, so how can I possibly find a Japanese or Korean wife?”

Xi Cheng did not dare to say such things before ascertaining his wife’s nationality.

The butler secretly complained in his heart and then reminded him calmly, “Master, your words can be suspected as you having racial discrimination. Please mind what you say when you’re in public.”

“Bullsh*t, when did I discriminate against races? My wife is the best no matter which country she comes from!” Xi Cheng cursed on purpose and laughed out loud when he saw the butler’s twitching eyebrows.

Ever since his master remembered that he still had a wife and child, but he could not remember anything about his wife, it had been many years since he had laughed like this without any restraint.

Butler William stopped his mood-dampening act of correcting Xi Cheng’s words. He waited till his master had laughed enough before saying, “I understand what Master means. I’ll make arrangements for a private plane to China for you as well as your residential address there. Is there anything else you need to instruct me on?”

Xi Cheng waved his hand. “No, hurry up and make the arrangements. Oh right, after I leave, take care of all the work you can do and pass them to me if you can’t. I’ll make adjustments to your bonus.”

The butler did not expect to be suddenly tossed with a lot of work. However, the person in front of him was the big boss, an old friend whom he had interacted with for more than ten years. Seeing that his old friend was about to find his wife and there was the possibility of him recovering his mobility, the butler could not be angry at him for his willfulness.

He quietly took in deep inhales before replying respectfully, “Yes, Master. I will take care of everything for you..”
