Chapter 1 I work as an agent for the American Empire
1.2 Adoption and adaptation
On the afternoon of May 1995, 5, in the interrogation room of the 7th Precinct of the Los Angeles Police Department in the United States.

The Asian man who just came in threw the folder he was holding on the table and sat across the table opposite Deng Feng.

"Speaking of which, you are lucky. There are 137 people crammed into an ocean-going fishing boat. Except for the smugglers, eight horse boys, and six boatmen, the remaining 122 stowaways are just you, a minor. Now, let's forget it. Including you, there are less than 30 people alive, including 9 who are being rescued in the hospital - By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Liu, you can call me Bob, I am your lawyer - you Don’t worry about money, I serve for free.”

After finishing the scene, Lawyer Banana continued to introduce the situation, "Your ship comes from Hong Kong and is a stowaway ship. On such an ocean-going fishing ship, the smugglers stuffed Cypriots like sardine cans into their heads, a total of 137 in total. Originally, there were [-] people in total. Everything went well. Unexpectedly, we arrived near the coast of the United States and suddenly hit a reef. A big hole opened on the side." The banana lawyer gestured a large circle with a diameter of one meter away. "A large amount of seawater poured in almost instantly, and the... The unique sea breeze near the coast must have blown the fishing boat like a leaf. I am not sure how long it took for it to be destroyed. I guess no one is interested. Anyway, the final result was that the fishing boat quickly entered the water and rolled over. , capsized quickly. The only good news is that the ship is not far from the coast, and various wreckage including stowaways are being rolled onto the beach one after another. You no longer have to waste resources to retrieve the bodies. This is the reason why you appear on the beach. . The bad news is that such a result is directly exposed in front of the whole world, so the impact is very bad. In the past few days, even the White House has been conducting various public relations to try to minimize the impact."

A week later, Los Angeles Police Department 11th Precinct, holding room.

"Okay, none of the nine people in the hospital have been rescued." Perhaps because he saw Deng Feng's suspicious look, Banana Lawyer didn't mean to hide it, "Okay, I understand what you mean. Is the hospital responsible for rescuing people?" I'm not sure, after all, it's very expensive, and no one is willing to pay, but it doesn't matter, it's not you who died. 9 people, 137 died, including all smugglers, horsemen, and boatmen. Only 119 are alive. , 18 is a man in the prime of life, all the women are dead, and you are the only one who is not in the prime of life. You are really lucky, so if you have time, go to the church and thank God."

Deng Feng had no interest in caring about any bullshit "God". Even if he traveled through time and no longer dared to be atheistic, he would still be under the control of the Jade Emperor.Moreover, Deng Feng also knew a simple question, that is, the real death toll should be 120, including this poor boy who was originally surnamed Deng but couldn't even keep his name.

Otherwise, Deng Feng wouldn't be able to get here.

"Fill out these forms - forget it, I'll ask you the questions, I'll write them, just your personal information, name, age, nationality. OK, your matter is finally over. Maybe Lady Luck used her skirt I've covered you, and you don't have to be sent back with those pigs. I know it's rude to say this, but I still want to explain that the treatment enjoyed by those people will not be any better than that of the pigs. The good news is, There is a kind-hearted rich man who has established a new charity fund and is willing to adopt you. By the way, I don’t have to serve voluntarily anymore. This philanthropist is very generous. The form just now is the various reports for adopting orphans, because your parents have already completed all the forms. Failed, I even saved a lot of procedures. Soon you will have American citizenship, which is something that many people can't do in their lifetime." Lawyer Banana stared at Deng Feng with undisguised envy, "If you want You know, I am already a third generation living under American imperialism, but I only got my citizenship three years ago.”

Deng Feng didn't speak, just stared at him.

Honestly speaking, although this banana man who doesn't even have a Chinese name is a bit mean-mouthed, he really helped a lot.The folder in his hand contained the information on the stowaways on the ship. To be precise, it was the payment list.A general table, followed by the payment data for each person.A stack of A4 paper, each one with a person, photo, personal information, origin and plan "arrangement".

"It was really 'arranged' directly," said the banana man with an interesting expression. "According to the records on these A4 papers, everyone on this boat has actually made a reservation long ago. Once the fishing boat docks, they will There are special handlers, and you will be sent to various black factories or even sweatshops. There are all kinds of factories. Anyway, they are the kind of places that are not very safe and not very humane. Maybe they will be implemented A bit violent. As for the final outcome, I believe you can guess it. The best thing is to be caught by the police and then deported. Under normal circumstances, it is to fuck until the body completely collapses and then be buried in an unknown corner. No need. Consider running away. The most educated people in your group are high school and English. It is estimated that you will not be able to live a normal life in the United States. You will soon enter the 'best situation' I just mentioned. Of course, before people die, their wages will indeed increase. , if compared to the situation in China, the income here is still good, except that it is easy to die, everything is fine." The banana man's tone was completely ridiculing, without any surprise, and he seemed very skillful.

The source of this information is also very simple, it is the personal computer placed by the smuggler on the ship.Because the boat capsized so fast, a cavity was formed when the hull was turned upside down. The computer was just inside the cavity and was not soaked in water. Although it was damaged, the hard drive was successfully repaired by the police.

After a complicated set of procedures, Deng Feng took one last look at the urns of his "parents". They would be buried with other deceased people in a nearby cemetery. A charity was willing to help solve the cemetery problem for these people. As for the "parents" , it is actually very simple. The original owner of this body is not qualified to "occupy" a piece of A4 paper alone. His information is directly followed by the "Remarks" column of the "father" of this body. The father's arrangement is a chemical factory. The mother works in a clothing factory. The original ending of this family can be imagined.He does not have a name on the A4 paper, but the "father" is indeed named Deng, which means that Deng Feng does not need to change his name.The description of the original owner is a sentence in the remarks: "With son, 12 years old, date of birth April 1983, 4."There was only one minor on the whole ship, so the relationship between parents was naturally determined.

Probably because he was stared at for too long, the banana lawyer felt strange. "What, what's the problem?"

"Why adopt me?"

"What, you're not happy that someone adopts you?"

"Mr. Lawyer, maybe you have misunderstood my knowledge." Deng Feng looked at the banana man mockingly, "We Chinese understand some knowledge far beyond your imagination, for example, what you just said Is the charitable fund due to inheritance or regular taxes? Or is it something else? "

Lawyer Banana's face changed, and he glanced at Deng Feng again with a scrutinizing gaze, "OK, what do you want to know, or why are you asking this?"

"I need to confirm my status, positioning, and what attitude I will use to face them in the future."

Lawyer Banana breathed out, "I even doubt whether you are 12 years old or not. Well, it won't be long before you know it yourself." As he spoke, he flipped through the information bag and then pushed one across the table. Paper, "Johnson Charitable Fund, you should know the purpose, both. Mrs. Johnson is an only daughter. His father passed away a month ago. Before his death, he had donated all his property to this fund. The boss has acquired several Orphanages or nursing homes are not enough. Therefore, he must prepare something more prominent and obvious, such as adopting some disadvantaged groups, people of color, women and children, or the disabled."

Deng Feng frowned, "Girls seem more suitable."

"This smuggling incident has caused a lot of noise. Various human rights and protection organizations, in short, they are just a bunch of shit, making noises everywhere, so you have become famous. Mr. Johnson did originally plan to adopt a little orphan girl, but Your effect seems to be better, and he is not interested in paying attention to the group of chimpanzees, nor does he want to have multiple disabled people in the family, so he chose you."

Deng Feng frowned, "In other words, how many more events will I need to participate in in the future?"

The banana lawyer shrugged, "Uh-huh."

After a moment of silence, Deng Feng looked up and asked, "Can you make a copy of my parents' information for me?"

Lawyer Banana directly pulled out two of the stack of A4 papers and handed them to him, "You can keep them." Then, Deng Feng followed Lawyer Banana out of the police station and met his adopter.

"Mr. Johnson, this is Jonathan. I hope you have a happy life in the future."The banana lawyer looked at the man in a suit and a plump middle-aged woman in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Lawyer." The man in a suit, known as "Mr. Johnson," smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Your name is Jonathan, right? I am Bruce Johnson. You can call me Bruce, or you can call me Mr. Johnson. This It’s my lover Lina, and we will live together from now on.” He spoke in English, and he also wanted to thank Banana for the translation.

As for "Jonathan", Lawyer Banana named him casually. At least, Deng Feng didn't know his name was "Jonathan" before leaving the police station.

Deng Feng reached out to hold Johnson and said "Thank you" at the same time, thanking Huaxia for providing compulsory education. Although he only graduated from high school, his English was indeed not very good.But it is still possible to attach a few words of daily communication.Soon, Lawyer Banana finished communicating with Johnson, turned around and left.Deng Feng followed the Johnsons into a Mercedes-Benz car. It could be seen that the two of them lived a good life. At least, they did not need to worry about their future life problems.

About half an hour later, the car finally arrived at its destination, a typical American two-story villa.The villa is located on the edge of the white area, not far from the Chinese gathering area, or Chinatown.

"Jonathan, which room do you like?" Johnson asked with a smile after taking Deng Feng around the villa.

"Anything is fine, Mr. Johnson." Deng Feng replied politely.

"Oh, okay, Jonathan, I know that you Chinese are very modest and cautious, which is a virtue. Well, Lina and I live on the second floor. The rooms on the first floor are mainly guest rooms and living rooms. The second floor is except for me. In addition to Ichabod's and Gina's bedrooms, study and exercise room, there are two rooms, you can choose one at will." Johnson expressed satisfaction with his attitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Johnson."

In the next month, Deng Feng faced various boring activities.

May 1995, 5, Venice Beach.

"Thank you, thank you to the ladies and gentlemen present, the Johnson Charitable Foundation generously sponsored all the funds for this shipwreck, including the burial expenses of the victims, the medical expenses of the survivors, repatriation expenses, corresponding clean-up expenses, etc., A young survivor was also adopted. Oh, God, he is really poor. This accident made him an orphan. However, I believe Mr. Johnson will make him feel the warmth of home again in the future." Los Angeles Deputy The mayor stood on the podium in a suit and leather jacket, speaking with great emotion.

"Thank you, Mr. Vice Mayor, for your praise, and thank you all the guests. Although the Johnson Charitable Foundation has not been established for a long time, it will definitely be committed to charity in Los Angeles. We will pay more attention to the disadvantaged groups in society and provide help to the best of our ability. We are ready." Bruce Johnson was well-dressed and spoke forcefully.

"Thank you Mr. Johnson for your help, which gave me a chance to survive again. I arrived at this dream land through a disgraceful way of smuggling, but I have fallen deeply in love with it. I will definitely do it in the future." Deng Feng looked serious. was reciting it in Chinese, with Banana Lawyer interpreting at the same time.

As for why it's so troublesome
"BOB, why should I use Chinese? Although my English is not very good, if I just read and recite, I have no problem." Deng Feng frowned.

"No, boy, you must use Chinese and highlight the smuggling issue. This will benefit everyone and you can receive more donations." Lawyer Banana replied in a frivolous tone.

May 1995, 5, Beverly Hills, charity gala.

"Oh, you are that boy, poor baby, come on, take this, it will bring you good luck." A woman with a sow figure but dressed very coquettishly hugged Deng Feng and left a smile on his face. After applying some lipstick marks, I put a pure gold cross pendant weighing 100 grams around his neck.

"Mrs. Brown, thank you for your generosity. Your kindness will be blessed by God, and Jonathan will remember your kindness." Mr. Johnson next to him greeted with a smile.

"Jonathan, come on, don't be shy. I am Tom Antonio, the principal of San Antonio Private High School. If you are willing, we will be very happy to prepare a desk for you. Of course, you need to take and pass a small test." An intellectual The uncle looked kindly and said, "Of course, Mr. Johnson, we are also very happy to have more in-depth cooperation with the Johnson Charitable Fund. After all, San Antonio Middle School has a history of 120 years. We have extensive cooperation with many charities, and naturally we also respect the generous people." Philanthropist. With the support of the Johnson Fund, we can serve the people of Los Angeles more effectively, and the Johnson Fund can also carry out philanthropic activities in a broader area."

Bruce Johnson raised his glass with a smile, "Salute to our lovely educators."

Antonio White, with a humble face, "blessed also the generous philanthropist."

PS: Charity foundations in Europe and the United States. Going back more than ten or 20 years, there are a lot of kneeling and licking, but with the development of the Internet and the decryption of certain things, I believe everyone already understands it.
