Chapter 900: 900, crazy at night, calm during the day

It was clear that Xiao Yebai had come home last night and drowned his sorrows in alcohol, smoked to relieve boredom…and then fell asleep on the sofa like that.

Zhong Kai was speculating to himself when Xiao Yebai got up.

“What time is it?” he asked, his voice low and hoarse from just waking up.

Zhong Kai hurriedly said, “It’s not yet nine, Director Xiao, no rush.”

“Wait for me downstairs,” Xiao Yebai ordered.

“Okay,” Zhong Kai quickly turned around.

The servant glanced over and hurriedly turned to follow him out.

…

The door was closed.

Xiao Yebai stepped up to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out a new set of clothes.

Then he suddenly stopped his motions and looked around.

In the vast bedroom, apart from him, there was no other living thing.

But he distinctly remembered that he had fallen asleep holding the Labrador last night.

Especially after seeing the empty wine bottles on the coffee table, and the ashtray full of cigarette butts…

Xiao Yebai stood there, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

…

Downstairs in the living room.

Zhong Kai thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but walk into the kitchen.

“I want to ask, was Director Xiao in a bad mood last night?”

“Not at all,” the servant explained, “Young Master Xiao went straight upstairs with the dog after he got home, he seemed in quite a good mood, though he didn’t eat dinner.”

Zhong Kai mentioned, “But I just saw several empty wine bottles on the coffee table and so many cigarette butts.”

“Young Master Xiao didn’t come down after going upstairs, I’m not sure,” the servant said.

Zhong Kai asked her, “Is there a place to store wine upstairs?”

“No,” the servant hurried over and opened the cabinet where they keep wine, “The wine is kept here, I didn’t see Young Master Xiao come downstairs last night.”

Zhong Kai’s eyebrows tightened instantly.

“However…” the servant hesitantly added, “Sister Zhou once told me that Young Master Xiao has a habit of sleepwalking, could it be that he came downstairs in his sleep last night and took the wine upstairs to drink?”

Zhong Kai: “…”

**

In less than half an hour, Xiao Yebai came downstairs.

He was impeccably dressed in a clean, white shirt paired with crisply pressed black suit pants, even his tie was perfectly matched.

Elegant and refined.

His whole demeanor was refreshingly sharp, exuding the unique aura of a business elite.

Zhong Kai almost couldn’t relate him to the shabby man who was curled up on the sofa earlier, reeking of cigarettes and alcohol, with a scruffy beard.

“Director Xiao, breakfast is ready…”

“I won’t eat,” Xiao Yebai said, and took the lead in walking out.

Zhong Kai followed him.

…

On the way, Xiao Yebai continued to maintain his image of a cold and silent persona.

Once at the office, after ordering a cup of black coffee, he immediately dived into his busy work schedule as usual.

Zhong Kai sat in his own office.

In front of him was a screen filled with numerous spreadsheets, but he leaned on one hand, deep in thought.

Director Xiao has been really off lately…

When I dropped him off at the villa yesterday, Director Xiao seemed quite calm and normal, yet he smoked so much last night? And drank enough to pass out drunk on the sofa?

Could it be that every night when he returns home he behaves like this?

No wonder he drinks so much black coffee as soon as he gets to the office, and often appears sleep-deprived; it seems that after the Little Princess left, he maintains normalcy during the day but indulges himself at night…

But if this continues for a long time, his health is definitely going to be compromised.

Then a certain call came through, and he hurried to answer, “Chairman, good morning.”

“How has Yebai been recently?”

Mo Yaoxiong’s opening was always the same.

Since he announced his withdrawal from the board, he had never visited the company again, fully trusting Xiao Yebai’s management.

However, he would call Zhong Kai every day, inquiring solely about Xiao Yebai’s condition.

Previously, Zhong Kai had felt that compared to the impartial and stern Mr. Mo, Mo Yaoxiong had shown considerable affection towards Xiao Yebai.

Now knowing that Xiao Yebai was indeed Mo Yaoxiong’s biological son, this all made sense.

At the moment, Zhong Kai busily reported in detail.

Including Xiao Yebai’s recent daily commute times and his overall work condition, Zhong Kai eventually mentioned, “But this morning when I went to the villa to pick up Director Xiao, I found him asleep on the sofa, unwashed and clothed in the same clothes from yesterday, having drunk a lot of alcohol and smoked numerous cigarettes.”

After finishing, he asked, “Chairman, does Director Xiao have a habit of sleepwalking?”

Mo Yaoxiong said, “I haven’t heard of such a thing.”

“But the servant told me that Director Xiao often sleepwalks at night, and when he does, he drinks and smokes excessively like this. This affects not only his sleep but also his health. Perhaps… you could find an opportunity to take Director Xiao for a checkup?”

The line was quiet for quite a while.

Suddenly,

“Alright, I understand.”

After saying this, Mo Yaoxiong hung up the phone.

**

Mo Family old mansion.

“I won’t go to the hospital, I don’t want to go to the hospital… I won’t go, mom, save me, please save me…” The woman dressed in a white nightgown was forcibly taken away by bodyguards and stuffed into a black sedan.

Mrs. Xu stood outside, looking at Xu Jing’s tear-stricken face through the car window, anxiously asking the man beside her, “Yaoxiong, Xu Jing says she doesn’t want to go to the hospital…”

“Mom, as you heard from Doctor Yu just now, Xu Jing’s mental state is very bad. Sending her to the hospital is for her own good; otherwise, it will only get worse.”

“But…” Mrs. Xu frowned deeply.

Although Xu Jing sometimes appeared delusional, at other times, she was as lucid as any normal person.

A mental hospital, that kind of place—if someone not ill went there, they might only grow worse, considering everyone around them would be ill…

Especially seeing Xu Jing’s tearful face pleading through the car window glass…

“How about… let’s not,” Mrs. Xu couldn’t bear it, “Yaoxiong, let me take Xu Jing back to live in Nancheng. Don’t worry, I, an old woman, can take care of her by myself…”

“Mom, you’re not young this year, and your health isn’t great, either. Besides, since she’s ill, she ought to be left to the doctors.” Mo Yaoxiong soothed her, “Don’t worry, once the hospital cures her, she can be discharged, and you can visit her regularly.”

After saying this, Mo Yaoxiong immediately ordered, “Doctor Yu, you get in the car first.”

Doctor Yu nodded lightly at the two, then opened the car door and got in.

“Mom, rest assured, I will instruct the doctors well,” Mo Yaoxiong added.

Mrs. Xu had no other choice but to agree, “Then I leave it to you.”

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, turned swiftly, and got into the car.

The two black sedans then drove off, one behind the other.

Mrs. Xu stood there, still faintly hearing Xu Jing’s heart-rending cries.

…

The First Psychiatric Hospital.

The hospital was located in the suburbs of Nancheng, an isolated area devoid of residents, with only a few sparse apartment buildings located a considerable distance from the hospital.

On weekdays, the place was desolately empty and inexplicably bleak.

The two black sedans stopped at the entrance, and then the bodyguards led Xu Jing inside.

All the way, Xu Jing was frantically shouting.

“Let me go!”

“I’m not sick! I really am not sick!”

“Why are you putting me in here! Why!”

“…”

When Mo Yaoxiong approached, she became hysterical, shouting, “Mo Yaoxiong, you did this on purpose! You are deliberately doing this! I’m not sick! Let them release me right away!”

Having shouted all the way, Xu Jing’s voice had already become hoarse and was unbearably harsh.

Mo Yaoxiong watched her, his face expressionless.

His gaze was cold and merciless.

When the director arrived with several doctors and nurses in white coats, he finally spoke, “She’s all yours now. Her condition is severe, make sure she’s well watched.”

“Alright, Mr. Mo.”

Xu Jing was almost forcibly taken away by the doctors and nurses.

Only when the woman’s voice completely faded did Mo Yaoxiong close his eyes, then he turned around.

**

“Mr. Xiao?”

“Mr. Xiao?”

In the Chairman’s Office, Zhong Kai looked speechlessly at Xiao Yebai, who had drifted off again.

The computer screen displayed the data he had just summarized, but after a while… it was like this again.

Zhong Kai cleared his throat twice, “Mr. Xiao?”

Xiao Yebai snapped back to reality, his gaze leaving the computer screen, “No problem, the data can be sent out now.”

“Okay.” After Zhong Kai finished speaking, he summoned up his courage, “Mr. Xiao, since the major projects of the company have been on track recently and the project pressure is not that high, I suggest that we can arrange the company’s group medical examination soon. If you have no objections, I will have the secretary start arranging it soon. Like previous years, each department will handle it separately and then provide a summary. Mr. Xiao, you would just register with our secretariat, is that okay?”

Xiao Yebai looked up at him.

Zhong Kai shivered under his gaze.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

This was the approach he had thought about for half a day.

Mr. Xiao had always been proud but suffered privately, drowning his sorrows in alcohol… He surely didn’t like his subordinates knowing too much about and getting involved in his private life,

Yet, as an assistant who had followed Mr. Xiao for many years, he couldn’t just watch as Xiao Yebai lived a life of nightly madness and daytime composure.

Clearly, having not rested well, he relied on black coffee to stay alert and work during the day.

Although there were no mistakes in his work and he always performed outstandingly, he wouldn’t be able to hold up forever…

“Mr. Xiao, I think…”

Xiao Yebai lowered his gaze, “For such a trivial matter, make the decisions on your own next time.”

Zhong Kai: “…”

Alright then.

That had startled him.

Xiao Yebai looked up again, “Anything else?”

“Oh, no more. I’ll go arrange it right now,” Zhong Kai said, then turned and left.

…

Once back in his office, Zhong Kai checked the time and immediately made a call.

“Chairman, I have already…”

“Good.” Mo Yaoxiong seemed to be in the car, “Remember to send me a copy of the medical results.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

**

In the car, Mo Yaoxiong hung up the call, “Turn around.”

The driver, Xiaoli, asked, “Are we going back to the old house?”

Mo Yaoxiong thought for a moment, “Let’s go to Lishui Bay.”

“Okay.”

Except…

The Little Princess had been away for so long, and Young Master Xiao was at the company. What was Mr. Mo doing alone at the Lishui Bay Villa?

As it turned out,

there truly was an incident.

The car had just driven up to the outside of the Lishui Bay Villa when Mo Yaoxiong said, “Stop the car.”

Xiaoli promptly parked the car.

Looking out the window, two familiar figures were hassling a security guard, with several onlookers gathering around.

Mo Yaoxiong immediately stepped out of the car.

…

“I told you, my name is Xiao Depeng! I am here to see Xiao Yebai! Don’t you recognize Xiao Yebai? He is Mo Family’s biological son! Back in Tongcheng, I raised him! He is now the President of Mo Group! But he wouldn’t forget the favor I did raising him, would he? Why won’t you let me in to see him!” Xiao Depeng shouted, his voice loud.

Zhang Liya was equally defiant, “The Mo Family is so famous, and you don’t recognize them? What kind of security are you? I’ll have my nephew fire you! You can’t tell Mount Tai from a molehill! A mere security guard and you dare act tough with us!”

The security guard looked at them exasperatedly, “Sir, madam, it’s not that I don’t recognize him, but Mr. Xiao has stated that no matter who it is, if they are looking for him, they are not allowed to enter the area.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Depeng was flabbergasted, “What did you say? None who is looking for him is allowed in? Why?”

Zhang Liya also shouted, “Exactly, why not? We’re his family! We have the grace of raising him! We’ve come all this way just to visit, and you won’t let us in?”

The security guard could only explain, “Here’s the thing, a few days ago, a woman came looking for Mr. Xiao. We let her through because she seemed well-mannered and pretty, and she said she was Mr. Xiao’s classmate. But Mr. Xiao was very angry and immediately had his bodyguard throw her out. Later, I learned that this woman had the nerve to scheme against Mr. Xiao under broad daylight… So since then, Mr. Xiao issued this order, no matter who it is, if they are looking for him, they are not allowed in.”

“Are you implying we are the same as that shameless woman? Planning something against him?” Zhang Liya became frantic, “For heaven’s sake! Aren’t you picking on us? I told you I am his maternal uncle. I watched him grow up from a little boy, and his mother even calls me sister-in-law…”

As she spoke, she pulled out an old photograph from her pocket to show to the security guard, “Look, this is him as a child. Back then, he was a scrawny little boy living in our house, eating our food, drinking our drink. If it hadn’t been for our pity to send him to the Mo Family as an adopted child, would he have his good life now? And now he’s gotten to know he’s the Mo Family’s own flesh and blood, he wants to kick us to the curb? He’s ungrateful and ruthless! Just a thankless wolf, an ingrataeous wolf!”

The bystanders immediately began discussing:

“Are these two telling the truth or lying?”

“I only knew that Xiao Yebai was indeed an adopted son of the Mo Family and had married their daughter before living here.”

“Then how come the news recently claimed he was actually the Mo Family’s biological son?”

“He is the biological son of the Mo Family, didn’t you see the Mo Group has been handed over to him now?”

“So was it his mother who remarried into the Xiao Family with him?”

“Sounds like it.”

“…”

The security guard, speechless at the gossiping crowd, said, “Alright, alright, I can’t let you in anyway, looking for me is useless; if it really doesn’t work, why don’t you contact him directly? Only if Mr. Xiao agrees, can we let you in.”

Zhang Liya: “…”

If they could contact him directly, would they come here in person?

Because Mo Yaoxiong had threatened them before, and they had received a large sum of money, they now naturally dared not go to the old house.

They didn’t dare approach the Mo Group either, as it was now under Xiao Yebai’s control, that jerk had the security throw them out last time. Now that he has become the Mo Family heir, his arrogance must have reached the sky, only more unbearable and excessive than before!

That’s why they thought about coming directly to the villa…

Who thought this damned ingrate!

He had cut off all ties with Tong Village, and even blacklisted their mobile numbers, making it impossible to get through on the phone, and now they weren’t allowed into the villa either…

What to do?

Zhang Liya looked at her husband, desperately signaling with her eyes.

Xiao Depeng’s eyes shifted, as he approached and pulled out a cigarette, “Brother, here, have a smoke.”

“No, no, I’m at work, can’t smoke.” The security guard hurriedly refused.

Xiao Depeng said with a smile, “Then please make an exception, could you? How about this, I give you his phone number, and you help me dial.”

The security guard frowned, “Why don’t you call him yourself? I already said, if you can get in touch directly and Mr. Xiao agrees to let you in, I can allow you through.”

“My phone is out of battery.” Xiao Depeng blatantly lied.

Zhang Liya also hurried over, “Brother, please could you make an exception? Look at us, we’re an older couple, traveling all the way from Tong Village, it’s not easy. And it’s so hot, we’re about to have heat stroke, please, could you help us out? Don’t worry, he won’t blame you later; we’re just here to see him, he’ll be more than happy.”

“Yes, yes.” Xiao Depeng, wiping his sweat, chimed in from the side.

It indeed was a severe heatwave in Nancheng.

It was now past 10 am, and the sun was scorching, especially at the entrance where there was little to no shade.

Xiao Depeng and Zhang Liya, both in their forties and having lived in the rural areas of Tong Village for years, had yellowish complexions and poor skin. They were sunburnt to a “highland red” from traveling overnight, wore simple, cheap clothes that were wrinkled, and at this moment, were sweating profusely, their brows furrowed, expressions pitiable…

“Alright then.” The security guard nodded and pulled out his phone.

A look of joy flickered across Zhang Liya’s face as she quickly said, “His number is 189283…”

She had dialed this number day and night; it had become second nature.

Just then:

“I’m sorry.” It was Mo Yaoxiong’s voice.

The security guard looked up.

Upon seeing Mo Yaoxiong, he immediately said, “Mr. Mo, you’ve arrived just in time, these are Mr. Xiao’s…

He didn’t finish his sentence when Xiao Depeng and Zhang Liya took off running.

Security guard: “…”

Stunned.

The middle-aged couple who just a moment ago seemed so exhausted from the sun that they might faint suddenly burst into a run? Faster than ecstatic rabbits!

“Mr. Mo, what’s going on?” the security guard quickly asked.

Mo Yaoxiong withdrew his gaze and quickly said, “If you see these two again, don’t bother with them.”

“Do you mean?”

“They have no relation to Yebai.”

“Got it, I understand now.”

…

Mo Yaoxiong went straight to his car, “Back to the old residence.”

Xiaoli: “…okay.”

The car slowly turned around, and Mo Yaoxiong quickly made a call to the old residence as well.
