Later, Bruce did not say a word but waved and left with Li Du . They went down the stairs and walked out of the house .
The sun shined brilliantly . The natural beauty of Los Angeles was truly amazing . Bruce covered his eyes with his hands under the bright light . Evidently, he had not been out for quite some time . Li Du realized that this young boy was weak and pale, just like a delicate young girl . His veins were almost visible under the sunlight . He knew that it was not because Bruce's skin was healthy, but because he lacked sunlight .
Bruce asked, "Sir, you are obviously of the yellow race, too, right?"
Li Du nodded . "Yes, I am Chinese . "
Bruce laughed . "We might share the same ancestors . I am Chinese, too, but I don't know where I'm from, because my parents don't know, either . "
"Where are your parents?" Li Du asked .
Bruce unfolded his arms . "I am called Batman . What do you think?"
Li Du had a quick thought and asked, shocked, "No way . They were murdered?"
Bruce nodded and pointed at his right leg . "Three shots in total . Two of them were in my parents' heads, and one of them was here . " The tone of his voice was flat . It was like he was describing something that had happened to someone else .
He quickly changed the topic . "I am very fortunate . Although this leg has a bit of a problem, at least I'm alive . I spent very little time with my parents, but they loved me very much . They were great parents . I will love them forever!
"In comparison, these fellows are even more unfortunate . " Bruce smiled bitterly . "I don't have to lie about it . They are not healthy . They don't have parents that love them . Believe it or not, if I let them be, they would only live for another month at most . "
Li Du asked, "What about the welfare institute? Can't you just send them there?"
Bruce shook his head . "It has nothing to do with the welfare institute . It's not about food, drinks, and lodging . They are a bunch of lunatics, you see . They keep finding ways to trick these fellows . Using their body for the means of transporting products or forcing them to steal . "
Having said that, he asked, "Based on their intelligence and capabilities, how long do you think they can survive by doing that?"
Li Du was speechless .
Brother Wolf, who rarely spoke, said, "You are a tough guy . "
Bruce posed in a kung fu stance and joked, "I am Batman . "
Bruce posed in a kung fu stance and joked, "I am Batman . "
Li Du asked, "You don't seem to be worried . As far as I know, you should be studying at your age . "
Bruce replied, "I want that, too . But I have to take care of these fellows . I am not sure if you noticed it, earlier . The majority of them are just like us . They are also Chinese . "
In America, the social classes were divided distinctively, especially in the slums . Black people, Mexicans, South Americans, Europeans, and so on, all of them had their own small circle . Among those, Asians were the least respected race, always being taken advantage of .
Bruce said, "In that case, who will take care of them if I don't? They don't even care about their fellow citizens . Do you think they'd care about the Chinese?"
Chinese were hard-working, low profile, and reliable . They could live peacefully as long as they were given some living space . These were good displays of virtue . However, black people, Mexicans, and the majority of the white people were awfully lazy, in Bruce's view . They refused to work, and yet they were unwilling to let the Chinese take on the jobs . They called the Chinese "locusts" who came to take away their living space .
The two of them had a long conversation . Li Du discovered a number of positive qualities in Bruce including kindness, persistence, and a strong work ethic . He was also self-loving and self-empowered . He was very mature and intelligent . In addition, he was a visionary .
He was not at all stressed from taking care of these kids . He even made plans for the next three to five years . The plans involved helping his fellow companions, taking care of them, and improving himself at the same time .
Brother Wolf was a person who was not easily impressed, but even he admired Bruce . He gave the kid his phone number and said, "If anyone bullies you guys, please contact me . "
Li Du wanted to help the kid, too . He wrote Bruce a check, but the kid shook his head . "This much money will only cause me trouble . We do not have any issues in that aspect . The government gives out food vouchers . Moreover, many kind-hearted people provide food for us . We are able to survive from this . "

Li Du asked, "Is there anything you need? I am not helping you . I am just paying my tuition fee . I have learned a lot from you . "
Bruce smiled . "I really want a Batman suit, but that is impossible . Haha . "
After listening to him, Li Du seemed perturbed by the joke . "I think you are more in need of a Batmobile, right? How tired are you when you have to walk to collect the food vouchers?"
Bruce realized what he meant and said excitedly, "That'd be great!"
Li Du remembered his expression . Later, as the event ended, he contacted Chris Bell . He took Hans with him, preparing to formulate a plan .
He had gained a lot from this event . One of the things he had gained was Kobe's friendship . Kobe admired his performance on the basketball court . In addition, Bell spoke highly of him, therefore, Kobe had a good impression of him, too . They even exchanged contact details .
Li Du explained Bruce's situation to Bell . Bell felt deep respect towards him . "This kid lives in a dark and desperate environment, and yet he appears to possess a heart of gold!"
"I would love to give him a helping hand . I want to send him a gift to encourage him . I already have an idea, but it is not done yet . I need your help on this," Li Du said .
Bell felt duty-bound to assist . "Go ahead and say it . You have my full support . "

Bell felt duty-bound to assist . "Go ahead and say it . You have my full support . "
Li Du took out his phone and found a number that he had never contacted . He dialed the number and asked, "Is this Ms . Frances McDormand? Hi, I am sorry to bother you…"
That's right . He contacted the Hollywood actress, Frances McDormand . She loved collecting automobiles from movies . Li Du once found a Batman motorcycle, but she had already managed to purchase it .
After his explanation, Frances remembered Li Du and then asked about his intentions . Li Du knew that she would be unhappy to be bothered . He quickly began to speak . He told her about Bruce and the Chinese children in Salem Harbor .
Finally, he said, "I would like repurchase the motorcycle . I want to gift it to the kid who admires Batman, to encourage him, to help him maintain his confidence on his tough journey, to provide him a better life . "
Frances kept quiet for a few seconds and then said, "You better be telling me the truth . I will have you know that I hate being lied to . "
Li Du said, "It is the absolute truth . I can bring witnesses along, and you can also investigate yourself . I really want to help this kid . I am willing to repurchase the motorcycle with your permission . I can give you $500,000 for it!"
Frances replied, "Let's talk face to face . "
