The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 314 Bulimia

“Mayor Mo, I wonder what illness Old Ye is suffering from that makes you so anxious?”

After understanding the basic situation, Chen Xiao asked.

Without even thinking, it was clear that Old Ye was suffering from no ordinary ailment. Otherwise, with his wealth, there wouldn't be any excellent doctors he couldn't hire. He could even take his private plane to seek treatment abroad.

Sure enough, Mayor Mo sighed and slowly said, “The illness Old Ye is suffering from this time is really strange. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so anxious to find you. He has developed bulimia, but it's not ordinary bulimia."

"Let me put it bluntly, Old Ye is already an eighty-four-year-old man, but yesterday alone, he ate half a cow, a sheep, three ducks, and four chickens..."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was dumbfounded.

Eating so much, not to mention an eighty-four-year-old, even a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man couldn't handle it!

"Is he alright now?"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask. With Old Ye's eating habits, he could die of stuffing himself at any moment!

Mayor Mo smiled wryly. "It's strange to say, although he ate so much, Old Ye's body is not in any serious condition. And until now, he is still eating every moment... As long as he stops for half a minute, he will shout that he is starving, just like a refugee fleeing famine."

Chen Xiao was speechless.

"Listening to you, Old Ye doesn't seem to be suffering from an illness..."

"Then what's wrong with him?"

"Could it be that a hungry ghost has possessed him?"

Mayor Mo's face was filled with horror. If someone else said this, he would definitely think they were joking.

But hearing Chen Xiao say this, he felt that it was probably true and suddenly felt scared.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Mayor Mo, don't be afraid. I'm just talking nonsense. Let's go over and take a look first."

"Chen Xiao, I have a very important meeting to chair later. After I take you to the Ye family, I won't accompany you inside."

Mayor Mo said apologetically.

Chen Xiao shook his head. "It's okay."

While speaking, Mayor Mo drove the car to the outside of a manor.

Seeing this manor, Chen Xiao sighed again. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that Jiang City had such a luxurious place.

He thought that his villa was luxurious enough, but compared to this manor, it was immediately overshadowed.

And the Feng Shui here is also excellent, backing onto a mountain and facing water. Of course, even if he was asked to exchange his villa for this place, he wouldn't, after all, the dragon vein underground could crush everything in the world.

Mayor Mo made a phone call, and soon a middle-aged man who looked no more than forty years old came out to greet him. Mayor Mo also got out of the car with Chen Xiao.

The man was wearing a well-tailored suit, with a thin face and a small goatee. He had a unique temperament that belonged to the young masters who liked to carry birdcages.

As expected, Chen Xiao guessed right.

Mayor Mo introduced him, "Chen Xiao, this is Ye Baichi, the Third Master of the Ye family. He will take you in later."

"Baichi, this is Doctor Chen Xiao. I specially invited him to treat the Old Master. You quickly take him in to have a look."

"Mayor Mo, thank you for your trouble."

Ye Baichi had a polite smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a bit of surprise and suspicion.

Because Chen Xiao was too young, he couldn't understand why Mayor Mo would bring such a young doctor to treat his father.

But after all, the other party was Mayor Mo, even if he was full of doubts, he didn't dare to say anything. He very politely stretched out his hand to Chen Xiao and said, "Hello, Doctor Chen!"

"Mr. Ye, hello."

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and shook hands with Ye Baichi.

"Alright, you guys hurry in, I have a meeting, so I'll leave first."

Mayor Mo urged.

"Okay, Mayor Mo, take care."

After seeing off Mayor Mo, Ye Baichi led the way, taking Chen Xiao into the manor.

The area inside this manor was already exaggeratedly large. Several shuttle buses were parked at the entrance, specially prepared for getting around the manor...

Chen Xiao suddenly felt that he was too unsophisticated. How could he, a wealthy man with tens of billions of assets, be unable to suppress the surprise in his heart when he saw a manor that required shuttle buses?

The shuttle bus drove in the manor for about five or six minutes before stopping outside a house. The house had red walls and green tiles and was built like a palace.

"Mr. Chen, please come in."

Ye Baichi made a gesture of invitation, inviting Chen Xiao into the house.

As soon as he entered, Chen Xiao saw a long table made of huanghuali wood in the center of the room. The table was filled with food, beef, mutton, chicken, duck... In short, all kinds of meat.

Behind the table, an old man was buried in his food, devouring it voraciously, constantly stuffing all kinds of meat on the table into his mouth.

He was even smacking his lips while eating!

The old man was very thin. Anyone who saw this scene would be shocked and stunned!

Beside him, there were four or five servants just to serve him food, and there were also several doctors in white coats, but they all looked helpless.

Needless to say, this old man was naturally Ye Zhicheng, the head of the Ye family.

Ye Baichi said anxiously, "Doctor Chen, this is my father, please help me see what's wrong with him..."

Although he didn't quite trust Chen Xiao, since he had already come, even if it was for Mayor Mo's sake, he had to let him take a look.

Chen Xiao first asked, "Mr. Ye, how long has the Old Master been in this condition?"

Ye Baichi thought for a while and said, "It started around yesterday morning. Although my father is old, his body has always been good, and his condition has been very good. I don't know what's wrong with him this time. He suddenly became like this. If we don't let him eat, he gets furious and says we want to kill him..."

"Tell me, how could we be harming him? The doctors have said that if he continues to eat like this, he may die suddenly at any time, but no matter what we say, he just won't listen!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao asked, "In that case, your father's mind has always been clear, and he recognizes his family?"

"He recognizes everyone, he remembers everything, there is absolutely no problem with his brain! He even handles business matters while eating sometimes."

Ye Baichi said.

Chen Xiao nodded, didn't say anything, and moved a chair to sit opposite Old Ye.

Ye Baichi suddenly reminded him, "Mr. Chen, be careful..."

Chen Xiao didn't understand what Ye Baichi was telling him to be careful about. Then he heard Old Ye across from him make a low growl from his throat and bared his teeth at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was directly stunned. How could Old Master Ye be so protective of his food?
