<h4>Chapter 1236: Chapter 1244: The Mad Expert</h4>


    Ling Chen opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he heard Wang Yan impatiently say, "Whether they stay or leave, what does it have to do with you? Why bother? Let’s go!"


    Lin Han escorted Hao Dong and Wang Yan to the vige entrance before returning home alone. Watching Ling Chen walking in the living room, Lin Han said apologetically, "Sorry, I initially wanted them to take you to the town with them."


    Ling Chen smiled slightly and said casually, "No worries, this ce with its beautiful mountains and waters is a good ce to recuperate. I want to stay a bit longer too."


    After pausing for a moment, Ling Chen asked, "Actually, their suggestion was good, why didn’t you ept it?"


    Lin Han gently shook her head and said, "Wang Yan is my university roommate, but she is different from me; she likes rich and handsome men. During the four years of university, the words we exchanged add up to fewer than a hundred sentences. Do you think we would be best friends?"


    Hearing this, Ling Chen was somewhat surprised, "Then why did theye such a long way to see you?"


    "I found it strange too. When I was working in East Sea City, I had asional contact with her, but she mostly initiated it. Later, after I returned here, due to inconvenientmunication, I lost contact with her. Honestly, I’m not sure why she came to my house."


    "That really is a peculiar thing," Ling Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it! Since she has left, don’t think about it too much. Maybe she indeed came to see you."


    "Perhaps."


    Looking at the wall clock, Ling Chen stood up and said, "I’ll head back to the clinic to rest."


    "I’ll see you out."


    Stepping out of the room, Ling Chen saw more than ten chickens in the coop in the yard, all thanks to Lin Chun. However, what struck Ling Chen as strange was the unique chicken coop, a two-meter-high and one-meter-wide iron cage. The iron bars of the cage were very thick, about the size of an adult’s arm. The bars in front of the cage were broken in the middle. Due to constant exposure to wind and rain, the cage had rusted.


    "Miss Lin, are you afraid your chickens might escape since you’ve used such thick iron bars to keep them?" Ling Chen jested.


    "This iron cage isn’t for chickens," Lin Han exined, "The vige specially built arge iron cage to deal with a madman in the vige. Unfortunately, the madman’s strength was terrifying; once inside, he directly broke the iron bars."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression changed, "What? Broke them?"


    He looked into Lin Han’s eyes and asked word by word, "Miss Lin, are you sure that person broke it with his bare hands?"


    Lin Han nodded, very certain, "I was there that day and saw it with my own eyes, no mistake. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my brother; he was there too and saw it clearly. Everyone was scared. Luckily, after breaking the cage, for some unknown reason, the madman suddenly fainted on the ground, avoiding major damage. Oh, by the way!" Saying this, Lin Han seemed to remember something and led Ling Chen to the courtyard behind the house.


    "Do you see that pile of chains?" Lin Han pointed to the corner where a bundle of chains, each as thick as an arm, was stacked, "These chains were also specially made to restrain the madman, but he broke them all."


    Ling Chen quickly walked over, picked up the rusted chains, and examined them closely. Just as Lin Han said, there were clear signs of breakage in the middle of the chains.


    To break such thick chains, is that madman named Yang Junfeng even human?


    Heavenly List master!


    Ling Chen’s heart sank. There was no doubt that Yang Junfeng is surely a Heavenly List master and a very powerful one at that. Otherwise, even an ordinary Heavenly List master couldn’t easily break such thick chains with their hands.


    At this thought, Ling Chen felt somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, when he went to find Yang Junfeng, thetter wasn’t in the cave. If he had encountered him, and if the man went mad, Ling Chen would have certainly died. Nheless, despite his lingering fear, Ling Chen found it strange; given Yang Junfeng’s great strength, why would he go mad?


    Generally speaking, the stronger one’s ability, the stronger their physical qualities, including perseverance, willpower, mental strength, and all aspects. Unless greatly stimted, they wouldn’t suffer from mental disorders.


    "Miss Lin, I heard Lin Chun say that the madman isn’t always mad, he asionally returns to normal. Is that true?"


    Lin Han nodded, "Though I haven’t treated the madman, I think he might have intermittent mental disorders causing mania. When he lived in the vige, the madman’s meltdowns were frequent, happening every two days, sometimes daily. After he was driven out of the vige and moved to the cave, the frequency gradually decreased, sometimes once a week or ten days apart. Comparatively, there’s been significant improvement. I think he shouldn’t be stimted by the outside world, meaning he shouldn’t have contact with people; otherwise, it would trigger more frequent attacks."


    "Is there any way to cure such a disease?" Ling Chen asked.


    "Given his current state, it’s not too serious yet. If he can’t maintain consciousness, then it’s incurable. This kind of intermittent mental disorder usually results from trauma; if the madman can calm down and receive therapy, recovery is hopeful. Sadly, the madman is too frightening; no one dares to approach him or talk to him."


    Ling Chen thoughtfully said, "So, if someone tries to persuade him to ept treatment, it might work?"


    Hearing this, Lin Han stared at Ling Chen and asked, "You wouldn’t be thinking of finding him, would you? No way, absolutely not! I don’t agree. Do you know how dangerous he is? What if you provoke him? Once he goes mad, no one can save you. You barely survived, do you want to tempt fate?"


    Ling Chen smiled slightly, "Miss Lin, don’t be so agitated, I was just speaking casually. However, I am indeed curious about that madman."


    "You’re just as crazy as that madman! I’ve never seen anyone interested in a madman."


    "Alright! I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m heading back." With that, Ling Chen waved his hand and headed straight toward the clinic. Walking along the road, Ling Chen asionally lifted his head and gazed at the distant mountain. Unexpectedly encountering a Heavenly List master like this in such an impoverished and remote ce, his luck was truly remarkable. If possible, he really wanted to approach him.
