My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Genio's mother's face immediately darkened.

The father quickly gave his wife a wink, then earnestly advised his daughter:
"But since you came along, our family can pay less tax, we won't be harassed by the local gangs, and it'll be easier for us to find jobs. You see, there are so many benefits, it's all just an act. Our family's financial situation is much better now, all thanks to you. Just hang in there for a while, and once this political correctness trend passes, you'll be back to normal."

Genio took a deep breath, said nothing, pushed past his parents, and rushed into his room.

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, and even some of the plaster on the wall seemed to be shaken off.

Upon seeing this scene, the little koi felt a surge of intense resentment towards the parents.

They actually used their child to make such a profit! Are they even parents?
In the East, if a boy shows any effeminate tendencies, his parents would have disciplined him severely. While the methods might be somewhat harsh, they would never deliberately use the child's gender as a pretext like this.

Based on its observations, Han San drew its own conclusion:

"That girl has such a strange temper. She's probably been forced to pretend to be her gender by her family for a long time. She's been suppressing her feelings for too long, and her emotions are becoming increasingly unstable."

Out of curiosity, Zhang Hao and his friends wanted to observe the child who had been forced to undergo gender reassignment surgery by his family, so they drifted into Genio's room.

Genio was lying in bed using his tablet to browse the internet.

She browsed posts and news related to transgender people and transgender issues.

On the Chinese internet, being transgender is absolutely politically correct, and no one dares to openly mock it; but once you go to foreign websites, you can see many foreigners calling them "crazy" and saying that transgender people are trash.

The two extremely opposing statements made Genio increasingly upset.

On the internet, Genio got into an argument with someone who despises transgender people.

In the end, Genio couldn't win the argument at all—the other party presented facts and reasoned arguments, refuting the flaws in transgender viewpoints one by one, and even dissecting the psychological distortions of transgender people. Every sentence was like a needle pricking Genio's sore spots.

Since the other party was a foreigner, he couldn't sue him for gender discrimination, and he couldn't argue with him either. At a visible speed, Genio became withdrawn.

She put down her tablet, raised her glassy eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling, and murmured dejectedly, "Why? Why did this have to happen? Why can't I just live a simple life?"

Without realizing it, her hand touched a small knife on the bedside table. She picked up the knife and gestured with it on her wrist.

Zhang Hao did not intervene; he simply watched quietly.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman walked in carrying food. When she saw her daughter holding a knife, she immediately showed a worried expression.

"Why are you playing with a knife in bed? That's too dangerous. Don't play with dangerous things like that again."

Genio gave a cold laugh: "Didn't you see? I'm not playing around, I'm testing—testing whether this knife can successfully cut my wrist!"

“If you’re going to die, don’t die at home. You need to understand that you are a transgender person now. If you die at home, once the media reports it, everyone will think that we discriminate against you and don’t accept you. We, as parents, will be criticized by the whole society.”

The middle-aged woman analyzed the situation calmly, without taking her daughter's feelings into account at all.

“Even if you were to commit suicide, you should choose your workplace or school, and leave a suicide note accusing someone of gender discrimination against you. That way, we can use the suicide note to sue the other party and demand compensation.”

Genio trembled with rage: "Money, money, money! All you care about is money, isn't it? Have you ever considered my feelings?" The middle-aged woman curled her lip and said insincerely, "If I didn't care about you, would I have taught you to find a way to get a job early? With your grades, you won't be able to find a job after graduation, and you won't get into a good university. Aren't I doing this for your own good?"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao and the others were speechless.

It seems that no matter what world you're in, work is the most important thing.

But Genio's results don't seem bad, do they? If he gives it his all, he might have a chance. Perhaps this family's desire for shortcuts influenced their choices.

They then left.

Meanwhile, the law enforcement officers who had been detaining them found it very strange.

They suddenly realized that they hadn't brought those people water and food in a long time. If they continued to keep them locked up like this, it might lead to someone dying.

While issues involving Asian Americans are relatively easy to handle, it can be quite troublesome when someone actually dies.

However, when law enforcement officers went to check, they found the people sitting inside chatting calmly, their faces rosy, showing no signs of the haggardness caused by long-term detention!
How is this going?

Under normal circumstances, after being locked up in such a place for so long without food or water, suffering from mental depression and physical torture, they should have become listless long ago!
When Zhang Hao saw them approaching, he smiled and waved, "Is there something you need?"

"You guys... stayed here all night?" one of the law enforcement officers asked, half-believing.

Zhang Hao chuckled and squinted, saying, "We were indeed here last night. If you don't believe me, you can check the security footage; it will prove we never left."

—Because surveillance cameras can't capture the soul, Zhang Hao wasn't guilty at all when he said this.

The law enforcement officers went to check the surveillance footage with disbelief.

The surveillance footage showed that they did indeed stay in the detention cell the whole time and never went out.

"I guess they're so energetic because they've been sleeping and conserving their energy. But their time is almost up; they won't last much longer. If we wait a while longer, they'll definitely beg for mercy."

Another staff member frowned: "I have a feeling this isn't simple. Normally, people locked up here would panic, but look at them, they're not panicked at all, and they're not in a hurry to explain themselves. Would a normal person react like this? Don't you think they're acting very strangely?"

The other staff members laughed.

"You're overthinking things. These people are just despicable. They act all high and mighty on the surface, but if you teach them a lesson, these Asians will be more obedient than dogs. You're still new here, so you don't understand yet, but you'll get it later."

The staff member who was called a newcomer didn't quite agree, but didn't know how to refute it.

Because of this incident, they all began to pay attention to the Asians locked in the detention cell.

They even made bets on when they would bow down and beg for mercy.

However, as time passed, the Asians neither begged for mercy nor offered any explanation. They acted as if they lived there, chatting occasionally, completely disregarding the prison. (End of Chapter)
