The Physician Tycoon

Of the four beautiful women present, only one was a handsome man.

Things become valuable when they are scarce, so handsome men become highly sought after.

Everyone was eager to drink with Ye Kai, and Ye Kai drank several cups in a row.

He thought this couldn't go on, so he encouraged everyone to toast Mary.

"Sisters, Miss Mary has come all this way, we should let her feel the warmth of the people of Peach Blossom Spring, shouldn't we?"

"Yes, Mary, I salute you!" Liu Yufen was the first to respond.

Ye Kai successfully shifted everyone's attention to Mary, and the four women drank to their hearts' content.

In the end, they were all drunk and staggering, hugging each other and talking nonsense.

Ye Kai chuckled and came out of Liu Yufen's house. As soon as he reached the street, he saw Ye Tieniu running as if a ferocious beast was chasing him.

Ye Kai quickly asked, "Tie Niu, why are you running?"

Ye Tieniu only said "Go to the clinic" before running away.

It has to be said that Tie Niu is incredibly fast. Apart from Ye Kai, he is the fastest runner in the village. With his long legs, he can take a stride of more than a meter, and he can probably run 100 meters in under 11 seconds.

Ye Kai also walked towards the clinic, which was a three-room building next to the village committee, housing a doctor and a nurse.

The doctor is Zhang Youde, and the nurse is his daughter Zhang Panpan. She graduated from nursing school last year but couldn't find a job, so she started working at Zhang Youde's clinic.

As soon as I arrived at the clinic, I saw seven or eight villagers queuing up for IV drips, all of them groaning and moaning.

Ye Tieniu's father, Ye Qingshan, was also among them, along with Ye Erniang and Waizui, who were sitting on a bench receiving IV drips.

Ye Kai stepped forward and asked, "Third Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Hmph..." Ye Qingshan held his stomach with both hands, frowned and groaned, unable to speak.

Ye Tieniu said, "My dad ate watermelon and started vomiting and having diarrhea, so I quickly brought him here to get an IV drip."

Ye Kai then asked Ye Erniang, "Second Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you now?"

Ye Erniang's husband, Ye Erzhu, was Ye Kai's second elder brother, making Ye Erniang his second sister-in-law.

Second Aunt endured the pain and said, "Just like my third uncle, it happened from eating watermelon."

Then look at the crooked mouth. It was already crooked, but the pain made it even crooked, almost reaching the neck.

"Hmph..." All that's left is "hmph," no need to ask, it must be from eating watermelon.

The other villagers were also clutching their stomachs, looking pained; they had all gotten sick from eating watermelon.

"Where did you eat the watermelon from?"

"From our own land."

Ye Kai has been so busy these past few days that he doesn't know much about what's happening in the village. He doesn't even know that some villagers have already planted watermelons from Guo Dafu's farm because they're cheaper.

"The watermelon is ripe already?"

Ye Erniang's symptoms were milder. "Sigh, it's all thanks to Guo Dafu's melon seedlings. He said they would grow big watermelons in seven days, each weighing twenty or thirty pounds, so I planted one acre of land."

When I went to the field today, I saw that big watermelons had indeed grown. They looked so appealing that I couldn't resist picking one. But after eating it, my stomach started to hurt!

Other villagers said, "Me too, I planted Guo Dafu's watermelons, and after eating one, I turned into this."

Everyone kept crying out in pain, "Ugh, ugh, ahh..."

"His watermelons are all genetically modified. What made you decide to grow their watermelons?"

The villagers asked in confusion, "What is a genetically modified watermelon?"

Ye Kai explained, "To put it simply, it's about transplanting animal genes, such as those from fish or even snakes, into a watermelon..."

Before Ye Kai could finish speaking, the villagers began to vomit.

"Oh my god, that's terrifying! Does this mean the watermelon I ate was a snake in disguise?"

Ye Kai quickly waved his hand, "I was just giving an example, it's not necessarily true. Even if it has snake genes, it's not a snake."

Ye Erniang clutched her chest, saying bitterly, "My god, that's terrifying! I'm terrified of that thing! Guo Dafu, that heartless bastard, is so evil. If I ever catch him, I'll beat him to death!"

Although Ye Erniang was tall and skilled in martial arts, she was afraid of snakes. Her legs would go weak and her heart would race whenever she saw a snake.

Ye Qingshan said worriedly, "What should we do? My family also planted two acres of watermelons. If we sell them, wouldn't that be cheating people?"

The villagers exclaimed, "We'll find Guo Dafu and make him compensate us for our losses!"

"Yes, find that traitor Guo! That scoundrel who brings disaster to the country and its people!"

The man with the crooked mouth asked, "Ye Kai, you say this is a genetically modified watermelon, do you have any evidence?"

Ye Kai shook his head. "I'm not in the higher-level authority, where would I get the evidence?"

"Then why should we ask Guo Dafu for compensation?"

"I reckon even if you go to Guo Dafu, he won't compensate you."

Ye Erniang was unconvinced. "I refuse to believe I can't handle him!"

"Yes, let's all go find him, and let's all go find his watermelons from the nearby villages too. I don't believe he'll dare not compensate us!"

Zhang Panpan listened attentively, looking at Ye Kai with admiration and giving him a thumbs up. "Brother Kai, you're so knowledgeable!"

Zhang Youde arrived, his face stern, and scolded, "What kind of knowledge do you have? Children shouldn't talk nonsense. You can't just say things without evidence!"

Ye Erniang got angry, "Zhang Youde, you old bastard, you were the one who started planting Guo Dafu's watermelons, and now you want us to plant them too!"

Everyone condemned, "Yes, it's all Zhang Youde's fault! If you hadn't led the way, I would never have fallen for it!"

"Zhang Youde, you heartless bastard, you can forget about paying for your medical treatment today!"

"Zhang Youde, you have to compensate me for my losses!"

Zhang Youde got anxious. "Fellow villagers, I only let you grow Guo Dafu's watermelons so that you could become rich."

"You all did it voluntarily, not thinking of me when you were making money, but now that something's happened, you all blame me. It's truly a case of good deeds going unrewarded."

Ye Erniang was furious and started cursing: "Zhang Youde, you're still a good person! You were originally a veterinarian, but you got the clinic through your brother Zhang Youquan's connections!"

Your injections and medicine cost more than the town hospital; you're a heartless bastard!

Ye Erniang became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and stood up to beat Zhang Youde. Zhang Youde was so frightened that he quickly hid to the side.

Ye Erniang forgot that she was still on an IV drip. She waved her arms, causing the saline bottle on the iron stand to rattle and shake, and it looked like the stand was about to fall over.

Zhang Panpan reacted quickly, leaping over to steady the iron frame. She also comforted Ye Erniang, saying, "Second sister-in-law, don't be angry. My father is just being unreasonable. Don't take it to heart."

Ye Erniang's anger subsided somewhat. "Hmm, Panpan is much more sensible than your father!"

She raised her arm and shouted,

"Gentlemen, let's go find Guo Dafu tomorrow and demand an explanation, shall we?"

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"

"Tomorrow, everyone should mobilize as many people as possible to go see Guo Dafu. Anyone who's at home and has nothing to do should go!"

"Okay!"

Ye Erniang then said to Ye Kai, "Little brother, you're educated, you know what genetically modified food is, why don't you go with us?"

Ye Kai nodded in agreement, "Okay, Second Sister-in-law!"
