Chapter 3 Bruce Wayne

"I am Li Ming, you can call me Li."

Li Ming was surprised that they were really the Wayne family. By chance, he actually became Batman's savior.

He looked around. According to the plot, there should be another person at the scene.

Sure enough, he soon found the young cat girl Selina on a staircase. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Selina immediately climbed up the stairs and ran away like a frightened kitten.

Since he was Young Batman, Li Ming immediately knew that his actions were unnecessary.

In "Gotham", Wayne's parents were killed under the order of the famous villain organization the Court of Owls. The Court of Owls attempted to use Bruce to control the Wayne Group, so he was not on the assassination list.

"Bruce, can I call you that?"

"can."

Li Ming stood up, only to find a pulling feeling. He lowered his head and saw that Bruce had grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly at some point and was looking at him in panic.

Li Ming knew that the gangster had never thought of killing him in the first place, but Bruce himself did not know that in his heart Li Ming was his savior.

"Don't be afraid if I don't leave." Li Ming pointed to a step not far away, "Let's go over and sit down."

Seeing that Bruce had no objection, Li Ming pulled him to the steps and sat down, facing the bodies of the Waynes.

Li Ming felt something was wrong and wanted to change direction, but Bruce held him firmly and didn't move, so he gave up.

After Bruce's mood stabilized, Li Ming spoke again.

"Bruce, how old are you?"

"Twelve years old."

For a twelve-year-old, Bruce's mental capacity is very impressive. But seeing him staring closely at his parents' remains, Li Ming still decided to find some words to comfort him:
  "It was a really difficult night, wasn't it?" Li Ming looked up at the hazy sky. The night sky in Gotham was bleak. He sighed, "I was a little younger than you when I experienced this scene."

Bruce's attention was attracted and he looked up at him. Li Ming continued: "When I was five or six years old, I can't remember clearly, it was also such a dark night. What we encountered was not a robbery, but a robbery." Gangster shootout.”

"I don't know where the bullet came from. I just know that my parents fell down not long after." Li Ming was talking about his original experience. He looked into Bruce's eyes:

"There is no murderer, or the whole Gotham is a murderer." Li Ming smiled lightly, "But this is Gotham."

Hearing that Li Ming had the same problem as him, Bruce became closer to Li Ming.

Li Ming patted Bruce on the shoulder and pointed at the sky: "It's very dark in Gotham, and you can't even see a star, but we can't give up the pursuit of light."

He said seriously to Bruce: "Be strong, Bruce, and live well. At least, we can be the stars that illuminate ourselves."

"Ok!"

Bruce nodded vigorously. Although he was still sad, Li Ming's words made him feel much better.

"Star……"

But Bruce muttered and asked Li Ming: "If the stars are bright enough, can they also light up other people?"

"If someone could curb crime, then our tragedy wouldn't happen to someone else."

"Uh, that's right." Li Ming didn't expect Bruce to have this realization at this time. Can he only say that he deserves to be Batman?

"But that is a difficult road." Li Ming clenched his fists with both hands and made a collision gesture. "This is not something I, a boxer, should consider."

"The hunted boxer." Li Ming added.

Li Mingcai doesn't want to be a superhero, he just wants to live a comfortable life. Even for this, he doesn't mind being a little selfish between himself and others.

"Being hunted?"

"Gangsters do things unreasonably." Li Ming shrugged.

"Is it money? I can help you, Li." Bruce said immediately.

"No need for the time being." Li Ming responded with a smile, "I'll solve it myself first. I really can't find you again."

Bruce's parents had just been killed. It was not appropriate for him to make any demands at this time. He might as well make a good impression first.

"Then come to me at Wayne Manor anytime if you need anything."

Bruce's expression was serious.

"no problem."

Li Ming stood up. Someone had already called the police. It was estimated that the detectives would be here soon. The Gotham Police Department was not clean. If he was found here, he would definitely be tipped off.

Seeing that he was leaving, Bruce was a little anxious: "If I want to find you, how should I contact you? What is your phone number?"

Only then did Li Ming remember the mobile phone he had thrown out. He went over to pick it up and take a look.

The screen is broken, but luckily it still works. “Do me a favor, Bruce.”

After exchanging mobile phone numbers, Li Ming gave one final instruction: "It's best not to reveal my identity unless you trust that person."

"it is good."

The reason why he said this is that Li Ming knew that the detective who came to investigate the murder of the Waynes was the famous "Gotham Conscience" and "Gotham Duel King" - Jim Gordon.

At this time, Gordon had just joined the police station and was still a dazed young man with a strong sense of justice. However, unlike Bruce, Li Ming did not want to make friends with Gordon.

Gordon's friends all ended badly.

But it’s still acceptable to connect through Bruce and Gordon, and everything in the future will be more convenient.

Li Ming didn't go far. He hid in a corner where he was hidden and could observe Bruce's movements, planning his next move.

The impact of the Waynes' deaths was huge.

Their murder was not only the beginning of Batman, but also the beginning of chaos in Gotham.

The Waynes and gangster Falcone are like the two legs of Gotham, maintaining the balance of Gotham.

In the plot, after the death of the Waynes, Falcone is left alone, and his gangster brother is also attracted by the temptation.

The head of Gotham's overlord Wayne Group can die, but what about Falcone?
  For example, Falcone's subordinate Fish Mooney, his enemy Maroni and others all wanted to kill Falcone and replace him.

But it was Fish Mooney's umbrella boy, Oswald Cobblepot, who eventually became the overlord of the Gotham gang.

That is the famous villain Penguin.

Thinking of Penguin, Li Ming suddenly had an idea.

He knows nothing about the operation of the gang, and he can't pick the fruit without the help of knowledgeable people.

And isn’t Penguin the best choice?
  After all, among all the villains in Gotham, some are busy causing chaos, and some are busy with psychopaths.

There are even villains who are busy saving Gotham—by destroying it.

This is very Gotham.

Only Penguin is engaged in career from beginning to end.

And Penguin is just a minor character right now.

The best thing is that he still has a weakness and the possibility of being controlled.

Instead of waiting for Maroney and Fishmoney to step down and their territory be eaten by the Penguin and other hyenas, it would be better to let him complete the task.

"We will bring the murderer to justice, sir."

Having set his goal, Li Ming's attention returned to Bruce. At this time, he was falling into the arms of a middle-aged man. After seeing someone close to him, the sadness in his heart was vented again.

That man was Alfred the Butler.

And this was what Gordon said.

Alfred was noncommittal and asked instead:
  "New here, right?"

"You can say that." Gordon looked confused when asked.

"Good luck, man."

Alfred took a deep look at the agent who was out of tune with Gotham, and after a word of encouragement, he turned around and left with Bruce.

"Keep your head up, look up and don't let them see you cry."

Afu reminded that he would be Bruce's guardian after the death of the Waynes.

To his surprise, Bruce quickly adjusted himself and held back his tears.

"The young master seems to have grown up a lot." He thought to himself.

"Afu."

"Master."

Bruce suddenly spoke, and Afu responded quickly.

"Buy me a new phone."

"Yes...Master."

Ah Fu was confused, but Li Ming in the corner smiled.
