After returning home, Huo Tian still could not contain her excitement. She ran over and gave Ding Rong a big hug. “Mom, I’m so happy today!”

Although Ding Rong did not understand what had happened, she was also infected by Huo Tian’s emotions. She could not help but smile. She caressed her daughter’s rosy cheeks lovingly and asked with a smile, “What happened that’s worth being happy about? Can you share it with Mommy?”

“I’ve signed a huge deal!” Huo Tian jumped excitedly and opened her arms to make a “very, very big” gesture.

Huo Tian then started rambling on to Ding Rong about how she had customized the robotic exoskeleton equipment for Xi Cheng recently. She followed behind Ding Rong and rambled on, her words bold and unrestrained.

She would talk about how she designed this robotic exoskeleton equipment.

She would also tell Ding Rong that even though Xi Cheng was a very charismatic middle-aged handsome man and had been sitting in a wheelchair all these years, he had been exercising. The muscles on his upper body were very beautiful, and when she helped him put on the exoskeleton equipment today, she even saw his abs. At this, Ding Rong glared at her…

Huo Tian stuck her tongue out and told Ding Rong that Xi Cheng liked her and her two other friends very much. However, when she brought up Xi Cheng’s child, she stopped abruptly.

Although Ding Rong had been busy with other things, she had been paying attention to what Huo Tian said. She turned around in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong with Mr. Xi’s child? Didn’t you guys see him?”

“No,” Huo Tian suddenly said sadly, “Mr. Xi has been separated from his wife. It’s been almost 20 years since he last saw his wife and child. This is their privacy but I accidentally revealed it.”

At this point, Huo Tian revealed a frustrated and guilty expression. “Mom, don’t tell anyone, okay?”

Ding Rong smiled and rubbed Huo Tian’s head. “Of course Mom won’t tell anyone about this. You have to be more careful in the future. Don’t spread other people’s privacy. This is especially so for wealthy people like them. You can’t spread their privacy recklessly, or you’ll get into trouble. Do you understand?”

Huo Tian nodded obediently. “I understand, Mom.”

She then sighed again. “Although Uncle Xi is rich, when he talks about his wife and child, he looks especially sad and pitiful. I really hope he can find his wife and child soon.”

Perhaps it was because Huo Tian had silently made a wish for Xi Cheng in her heart that the search that hadn’t made any progress previously finally received some good news.

The leader of the search team personally came to report the progress to Xi Cheng.

“Sir, we’ve searched through the current Internet system for information regarding people who had appeared across China and who could be a match to your identity 18 to 20 years ago. We’ve excluded those who are still living in China and those whose deaths are confirmed. There are roughly 13 sets of information that match yours.”

The information on these 13 people had been consolidated and the document was placed in front of Xi Cheng.

Xi Cheng picked up the thick stack of documents and flipped through them. These 13 people’s names were different from his. This was normal.

Xi Cheng thought to himself that back then, in order to avoid the pursuit of mercenary organizations and the competition for the family’s successor, he would definitely conceal his identity and live in China under a fake identity. This also made the search after 20 years more difficult.

The identities of these 13 people all had one thing in common. They had suddenly started to become active 20 years ago. During this period, they had dated or gotten married. Later on, they didn’t run from debt or get into any accidents. They just mysteriously disappeared.

Xi Cheng propped his face on his hand and flipped through the thick stack of documents. When he reached the third last set of information, his movements suddenly paused for some reason. He looked at the two words ‘Huo Cheng’ and a strong sense of familiarity welled up in his heart..
