"That's right." When Lu Qi found out, he was equally surprised. "I didn't think it would be such a coincidence, now we really can save him."

Xinghe asked directly, "You mean we can use the mechanical heart to save him?"

"Theoretically speaking, yes, but there will be some issues."

"What kind of issue?"

Lu Qi explained, "The president's situation differs from Mubai's. Mubai's heart was damaged, but the president's suffering from an ailing heart. It's because of illness that this is happening, so we cannot use exactly the same formula."

"Then, what can we do?"

About this, Lu Qi had already found a solution. He smiled. "Naturally, we have to tweak the design. However, the basics will be the same, this time we really need to create a 'heart' so to speak."

"In other words, we're building a heart to replace his actual heart?"

"Theoretically speaking yes, but this, unfortunately, will not save him forever, it can only delay the inevitable for a few more years."

"That's enough." Xinghe's eyes shone. "A few more years are enough."

They would find a way to take down the Lin family in the meantime.

"Therefore, I need your help," Lu Qi said suddenly.

Xinghe understood and agreed easily. "Of course. Send me your design when you're ready and I will build it."

"No, I want you to join me here."

Xinghe was stunned as Lu Qi continued, "I believe this is a good opportunity. If the president sees you cooperating with me to cure his illness, it'll be immensely helpful to you in the future. In case anything happens in the future, he will be kind towards you and the Xi family for what you did for him."

"…" Xinghe understood what he meant. Lu Qi wanted to share the credit of saving the president with her. It was essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card should she need it. It was as he said, a good opportunity. Having the president owe you a favor was indeed beneficial, and Lu Qi didn't want her to miss out on it. Xinghe understood the gravity of the situation and, without hesitation, she accepted.

"Alright, I'll go! Lu Qi, thank you," Xinghe told him seriously.

Lu Qi smiled. "You're welcome. You've been immensely instrumental to the success of my medical research, plus I've been trying to make amends for what I did to you."

"No, you don't owe me anything anymore. In the future, if you need any help, please tell me; I will a.s.sist whenever I can."

"No backsies because I will take you up on that offer. I'll have you design many things for me."

"No problem," Xinghe promised. Lu Qi was overjoyed, with Xinghe's aid, he believed many of his medical dreams would become a reality.

"I'll go inform the president and his wife. After I get their permission, you'll come to City A as my a.s.sistant," Lu Qi told her.

"Okay."

"That's all then, wait for my call later."

After they hung up, Xinghe rushed to tell the Xi family the news. Even though this was a good opportunity, there were also many hidden pitfalls. It would be good if they could cure the president, but if they couldn't then it would just a ma.s.sive waste of time and effort. Furthermore, the Lin family would not waste this opportunity to come after her.

Xinghe nodded after she heard Grandfather Xi's a.n.a.lysis.
