"I was provoked by white people and attacked by black people in the past few years when I first came to the United States."

Tang Yi felt like he was dragged into boundless darkness, and his voice became more and more depressed: "At the beginning, I fought with them and fought hard, and I was often beaten to the point where I was covered in wounds."

Jiang Fanxi covered his mouth, his eyes covered with wetness: "Do your dad know? Did he not find a way to protect you?"

"No," Tang Yi shook his head, "He said--the only one who can protect you forever is yourself. If you can't fight in the jungle and build your own safe territory, then you might as well die, because there is only one way to die."

"Oh my God!" Jiang Fanxi cried, "Why is he like this?!"

Tang Yi smiled. He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, rubbed her face with the other, and used his fingertips to remove the tears below her.

"He said that if you want not to be bullied and to live well, there is only one way - to become a strong man and eliminate all those who bully me and threaten me. Before taking action, analyze the situation first. If the other party is single and has no ability to fight back, just do it; if the other party has the ability to retaliate, if there are accomplices, don't fight hard on the spot, and use means to force him to perish himself."

Jiang Fanxi was dumbfounded and looked at Tang Yi's cold side face with a complicated expression.

"If violent acts generally require criminal responsibility, just call the police and arrest those bad people and go to jail? Why... force people to death?"

She finally understood why she felt scared and tragic when she saw Zhenren Tang Shiming.

Because Tang Shiming exudes the temperament of a hyena all over his body - the hyena is not big, but is the most powerful animal except for a lion. It can take prey from lions and cheetahs and even kill lions.

In the jungle world where the strong prey are preyed upon, animals with small size but super attack power have been killed every time they hunt prey and plunder the same fierce opponents, after a long, patient wait, and then kill them with one move.

At those moments when they bite each other until their flesh was blurred, they seemed to have forgotten that they would bleed and flesh. The pain did not stop their biting pace. Because otherwise, they could only become prey of other animals, be torn apart, hollowed out their internal organs, and finally became a pile of bones that would become one with the soil in the jungle.

If Tang Shiming is a hyena, then Tang Yi...

Jiang Fanxi dared not think deeply, so he lowered his head to fiddle with his cell phone to hide his anxiety.

She remembered the "North American Investment Circle Ripper" mentioned by Tang Yin, and moved her thumb to the search app and clicked it, but she didn't type those words after all.

She doesn't want to have a preconceived impression of ty because of the messy and unobjective rumors on the Internet.

She turned off the screen of her phone, hesitated for a while, and asked, "What's going on with the Ripper? Why is the Ripper?"

Tang Yi seemed to be mentally prepared and said calmly: "After Jack the Ripper killed someone, he would take out the internal organs of the victim. They gave me such a nickname, probably because I thought I would not only want those companies to die, but also empty their internal organs, and thought I was too amazing."

Outside the car window, the night was dark.

On a winter night in Chicago, the wind blew, slapped on the car window glass one by one, turning into sad chirping.

Jiang Fanxi shook uncontrollably, his heart beat wildly, and he could not calm his emotions for a long time.

She was no longer in the mood to ask how Tang Yi hollowed out the internal organs of those companies, and she did not want to stand on the moral high ground to criticize whether Tang Yi's behavior was correct or humane.

The jungle rules have always been like this, survival of the fittest and prey on the weak. Tang Yi does not use "cold blood" as a weapon, and he will die under Tang Yu's fist without waiting until he is eliminated by the jungle.

If he had a choice, Tang Yi probably wouldn't want to be such a "strong man". His destination seemed to have been written in advance in the trial of the custody dispute 20 years ago.

Over the past 20 years, he has been walking alone and fighting in the jungle society of the United States, with tears in his eyes, and longing for his mother and hometown. He may have been vague or broken, but he has no choice.

Jiang Fanxi sniffed and turned his head to look at the neon lights flying past the window.

She didn't want to let the tears flow down, and kept rolling her eyes upwards: "I understand you."

"Is that true?" Tang Yi's tone was very light, "Tell me."

"Your father should have a profound impact on you." Jiang Fanxi said, "I always thought you just didn't like to talk and had a deeper personality. Now, I think about it, my views are still superficial."

She sucked her nose, swallowed her throat, and continued, "I think now that you have dark qualities on you. Once the stimulus appears, this qualities will emerge from your body like beasts. For example, for your brother's affairs, I believe that the reason why you can eat his shares must have started to make arrangements very early. He stepped into your situation step by step and eventually became a turtle in the jar and was slaughtered by you."

Tang Yi looked back at her and actually smiled.

"So, are you afraid of me?" He looked back at the road ahead, "I have Tang Shiming's genes, and after several years of teaching by example, maybe I will eventually become a person like him."

Jiang Fanxi actually heard despair from his voice.

She held his hand on the shift lever. His hand was very icy, like his voice.

"I often feel a sense of separation, probably because before the age of 14, I was educated to be kind to others; but after the age of 14, this concept was subverted."

"Hey," Jiang Fanxi sighed, "You don't have much contact with your father now. Can you forget all the things he taught you?"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "It probably won't work. Because today's me is created by past experiences. The past has become a certain fact, and today's me can only do this."

Jiang Fanxi didn't know how to persuade him.

Everyone is trying to fight against the inferior genes in themselves and reconcile with their original family, but how is it that easy?

There is no absolute happiness in this world. Everyone has different degrees of pain that is difficult to express to others. During countless days of caries and deeds alone, they are strong and healing themselves.

This is probably life.

Don’t look back, don’t think too much, and walk forward with a determination that is regretless to the end.

...

Back at the apartment, Tang Yi went into the study without saying a word. Jiang Fanxi made some simple pasta and salad. When he went out to eat, he saw him standing in front of the study cabinet, holding a photo frame in his hand. After careful look, his eyes were red.

Knowing that he missed his mother, Jiang Fanxi did not disturb him and quietly withdrew from the study.

She poured herself a glass of water, sat down in the dining chair, and planned to take a shower after dinner, and then massage Tang Yi's shoulders, neck and scalp to soothe his tense mood.
