Chapter 55: Injustice

Out of professional habit, when he saw the police car trailing behind Xiao Yang's car, Ryan Collins had already subconsciously grabbed the camera at hand, and his partner Grigory Howell, who was sitting next to him - a professional photojournalist specially brought over to show his attention to Xiao Yang - moved even faster, he frequently pressed the shutter to record the pictures of Xiao Yang showing his driver's license to the patrol police, being forcibly dragged out of the car by the patrol police, and handcuffing his hands to the chassis cover one by one, and he did not forget the schadenfreude in his mouth: " It seems that we don't have to worry about tomorrow's front-page headlines and illustrations - the great prophet has been arrested in public? I believe that the editor-in-chief will be crazy! ”

It is uncertain whether the editor-in-chief of the front-page news of "USA Today" will be crazy, but Xiao Yang is already about to be mad, different from the plot that was carefully arranged last time and took the initiative to surrender to the police, the sudden injustice and public humiliation made his heart beat faster, blood gushed on his face, hormones secreted sharply, and the tone of protest became unusually intense: "Look at the name on your driver's license, you idiot, if you don't have time to pay attention to the news these days, it's best to call your immediate boss, Then you'll know how much trouble you've just gotten into, Officer Romani! ”

Hearing his tone so tough, the middle-aged patrolman named Flandy was slightly stunned, he held up Xiao Yang's temporary driver's license, took a closer look at the name column, and then realized that he had just caught a celebrity who was now popular - but he obviously didn't care about this at all, after verifying the authenticity of the driver's license through the walkie-talkie and the main station, he slowly untied the handcuffs for Xiao Yang and returned the document to him, "Sorry for delaying your time, Mr. Xiao, you can go."

Hearing his understated tone, Xiao Yang glared at him fiercely, and was about to give him a middle finger when he caught a glimpse of a long lens stretching out of the car across the road, so he rationally suppressed his anger, and coldly watched the two patrolmen drive away, threw two coins into the parking meter on the side of the road, pushed the door and walked into the café.

Facing the surprised eyes of the customers and waiters in the store, Xiao Yang raised his eyes and searched the room, and easily found the location of Ryan Collins and Gregory Howell, he walked over and shook hands with the reporters who got up to greet him one by one and apologized: "I'm sorry I'm late, as for the reason - I believe both of you saw the scene just now?" ”

Gregory-Howell patted the camera in his hand and smiled: "Not only did I see it, but I took it." ”

Collins waved his hand and invited Xiao Yang to sit down, comforting, "It's a pity that they treat you like this." ”

Xiao Yang smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, but it doesn't matter, I'm used to it, it's been less than 24 hours since I got my driver's license, and this is the third time I've met." ”

Collins spread his hands in confusion, "But why, did you accidentally break any traffic rules?" ”

"How is that possible!" Xiao Yang shook his head again, "As a good law-abiding citizen - well, I admit that the kidnapping of Judy was an exception, you can laugh at me as much as you like - but I have always been very careful with my driver, and I have absolute confidence in my driving skills, as for the reason why I was treated like this, I think about it, the only reasonable explanation is the color of my skin. ”

Glancing at his partner, Collins deliberately frowned, "What did they say to you...... Insulting words, Shaw? ”

"No, they don't need to, because this notion is already ingrained in their bones!" The eye contact between the two reporters did not escape Xiao Yang's eyes, he knew that the other party was deliberately leading the topic in a direction related to racial discrimination, but he didn't mind, because he had intended to do so.

You know, similar situations have long been commonplace among Chinese Americans, even more serious than the discrimination against blacks, but because the number of Chinese Americans is far less than the latter, even if they speak out, no one pays attention to them, and their humble and obedient nature also makes them accustomed to forbearance, which makes them more and more arrogant and arrogant of those bastards.

Before crossing over, he had only learned about the existence of similar situations through the Internet and movies and television dramas, and knew that this kind of discrimination, which had existed for hundreds of years, would always occupy the mainstream ******** the United States - although those in power never recognized it - until China's status in the international community gradually rose to be selectively ignored, but it would never die, and those who did not personally experience such disrespectful treatment would never be able to experience the soul-destroying humiliation and anger.

Therefore, he felt that he should say something or do something, not only for his own dignity, but also for the dignity of his compatriots and the dignity of the nation!

It may be a bit arrogant to say this, but as a time-traveler, a hanger, a man whose name has been remembered by more than four-fifths of the people in the United States, his voice is destined not to be ignored, even if it still sounds very weak.

As Leo Tolstoy once said: with great power comes great responsibility (in the words: to make a man reveal his essence, to make him take on a responsibility is the most effective way)!

As a veteran text reporter, Collins sensitively sensed the meaning of his words, he held up the miniature tape recorder used for the interview and motioned to Xiao Yang, and after getting his permission, he pressed the record button and put it in front of him, "Are you going to use this argument as the subject of today's interview, Xiao, about M.J's child molestation charges?" ”

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yang sneered disdainfully: "The discrimination, hatred and desire for race, skin color, and wealth have prompted an insatiable and despicable father, an innocent and ignorant child who is at the mercy of others, a cowardly and bullying mother who has no position, a group of lawyers who ignore the truth and only care about interests, and a group of media that have no lower limit for sales and ratings - no offense - all together create today's farce, and this is the topic we will discuss next." ”

The two reporters looked at each other again, and both saw the inexplicable excitement in each other's eyes, and Collins quickly organized his words and asked, "I noticed that you used the term 'farce', which means that you don't think that the formal trial that will be held on March 24 will get a fair result, do you?" ”

"Trial?" Xiao Yang shook his finger, "Of course not, this farce will not go that farcing at all, because a week later, to be exact, on the 25th of this month, Jackson's team will reach an out-of-court settlement agreement with the plaintiff, paying a large amount of compensation in exchange for the other party's peace of mind." ”

"The 25th of this month? God, today is already ......" Collins subconsciously raised his wrist to look at his watch, "Today is the 19th!" Are you sure about the news...... Will this prophecy come true, Shaw? ”

Xiao Yang smiled and spread his hands, "I don't dare to say that it will definitely come as scheduled like the earthquake the day before yesterday, but it has a probability of more than 99%!" ”
