4 Chaos

Soon Yichen arrived at his father's chamber. There he saw his father, Lin Zhang making the room a total mess. Both the pillows and mattress were on the floor, and the flower pot which was nearby was too broken.

On top of it was some sort of stinky smell filling up the entire space. With a sudden gush of the smell and he instantly realised that his father had peed on the mattress!

As if all those were not enough, Lin Zhang was laughing and running around like a little kid.

Yichen was left smashed by the entire scene. It was as if a half-broken glass was finally forced to break apart into pieces.

The sound of his crazy father playing and running around like a kid echoes in his ears for a while. He stared at him listlessly.

The very sight had triggered all of the emotions that had been pressed down for years. Unable to restrain any more; he moved toward his father in frenzied and grabbed him by his shoulder.

Lin Zhang stared at him and smiled in stupidity.

"Father! Come back to your sense! You are not some five-year-old kid!"

"This is enough! Please! Come back to your sense!!"

He lashed out in turmoil and the room fell into complete silence.

The volcano had finally erupted.

After a moment of fleeting silence, Lin Zhang started to burst out into tears like some kid would do and immediately ran out of the room in anxiety.

Yichen was left there in the blankness.

'This is frustrating!'

His young self was left drained. It was as if it had sucked out the very life energy from him.

Everything that had happened was a total crazed and he lost it completely at the moment.

He stood there, spacing out but not for long; he soon got his sense back.

'Crap! My father is mentally sick. What will happen if he runs out like that?!'

Not wasting a second, Yichen hurried to look for him.

"Father, where are you?!"

He searched for him everywhere.

He quickened his pace as he restlessly searched for him.

"Do you see my father?"

He asked one of the servants which were passing by.

"Young master, I saw him going this way.", the servant replied abjectly.

Yichen hurried towards the direction the servant spoke. It was on the way to the kitchen of the Lin family.

Arriving there, he saw the kitchen to be in a total mess.

His father was kneeling in front of the head cook.

"Master Lin Zhang! This is the food specially made for the chief, you can't be so ill-mannered and have it as you like?"

The head cook, a middle-aged man berated him as he would do to a kid.

Lin Zhang kept his quiet and looked down like a scared puppy. The servants were having fun teasing him. They all were laughing behind his back.

Yichen saw it all in conflict. The servants were not paying his father any respect instead they were playing him as if he were some kid.

Infuriated by such an absurd scene, he scrambled towards them and chided in anger: "How dare you to make my father kneel you?! Don't you know that he is the legitimate heir of the clan?!"

"Father stand up!"

He forced him to stand up.

The head cook smirked at his funny conduct.

"Your father is only getting the punishment he deserved. How dare he to eat the food made for the Chief?!"

He ridiculed him scathingly.

'This mere servant dares to speak up to me and my father. That's absurdness! Where is the respect for my father and me as the bloodlines of the Lin clan?'

Incensed by it, Yichen surged toward the cook and threw a fit on his face.

The head cook holds it in rage and glared menacingly.

"You scum! You dare to hit me?!"

"Quick! Take him down!"

He commanded enraged.

The servants quickly scurried towards Yichen and forced him to kneel on the ground.

They then kicked him and beat him heartlessly.

"Tch! You useless scum dares to hit the head cook?!"

"Take this!"

Unable to dodge those hits, Yichen bore the pain.

His father, Lin Zhang on the side cried like a child, begging them not to beat him.

Yichen's bruised eyes saw his father begging them in helplessness and it numbed his heart even more.

'My father.....?! He..... beg to those lowly servants for me?!'

He was left startled.

'Tch! Yichen! What a useless bum you are?'

He blamed himself for his ineptitude.

All this madness had taken a toll on him that it shredded his spirit apart. With each blow he took, he was slowly losing it.

With such a big fussed being made in the kitchen, one of the chore servants hurried to report it to the Chief.

Alarmed by it; the Chief, Lin Zhou immediately hurried towards the kitchen.

Arriving there, he saw the servants ganging up and beating his brother's son Yichen altogether. He had gotten many bruises on his handsome face. On the side was his lunatic brother Lin Zhang begging them in desperation.

'Tsk! What a sight!'

Lin Zhou was amused.

'This kiddo even dares to stand up against them all for his father?! He is quite a thing'

He quickly maintained his composure and soon released the yellow level wave technique of the Lin family.

With it, everyone falls aside and turned to look at him in troubledness.

"Can someone explain to me what's going on here?!", he demanded authoritatively.

The head cook hurriedly rushed towards him and paid his respect.

He then explained everything that had occurred. In the end, he concluded with his tricky speech: "Chief, we were only trying to teach master Lin Zhang that he cannot eat the food made for the Chief of the clan."

"If everyone is to behave like him then where is the respect for the chief of the Lin clan?!", he remarked.

Lin Zhou was left triggered there, he turned aside without a word.

Not liking the way where it was going, Yichen refuted: "Tch! What ridiculousness! Mr Head cook, you should be well aware that my father is not mentally well? How dare you make him kneel like some child and teach him a lesson? Or perhaps are you assuming yourself as the master of the clan?"

Provoked by it, the head cook immediately knelt and confronted: "It is not like that! Master Lin Zhang acted like a child so I was only teaching him in a way a child would understand!"

All of the servants sneakily laughed at it.

Lin Zhou was amusing himself with it all.

'This servant indeed has a sharp tongue.'

He was quite pleased.

"You!!"

Yichen reacted with animosity.

Since he heard it all, Lin Zhou spoke up calculatedly: "Yichen, you let your crazy father walk out from his room which is very wrong in the first place. If you hadn't made him leave his room such a thing wouldn't have happened. Look at the servant, they all will now have a hard time cleaning up the mess and cooking the food all over again."

"Do you now know where you went wrong?!"

He in turn questioned him.
