Ten years ago, a resort beach in San Francisco, United States.
The sun shines directly on the fine sand, and on the edge of the crowded beach, a pair of sisters in swimsuits walk forward leisurely.
Unlike ordinary sisters, the age gap between these two sisters is slightly larger.
My sister's thick silver hair was tied into a bun on the back of her head, exposing the white back of her neck. She was tall and wearing a pair of sunglasses. She looked about twenty years old, very young.
The younger sister, who was holding a folding beach chair for children and following her sister on her calves, had smooth black hair in a ponytail, and her childish appearance was no more than six or seven years old.
"Sister Jing, when will my parents come?"
Quickly keeping up with Bai Hejing's pace, Bai Heying looked up at her biological sister and couldn't help but ask again.
Bai Heying, she is the youngest daughter of the Baihe family. She is seven years old today and has just entered elementary school.
Ten years later, as she gradually became suspicious of the cause of her father's death, she would borrow her mother's old surname and quietly travel to Japan alone to investigate.
"have no idea."
Also holding a folding beach chair in her hands, Bai Hejing lowered her head, taking the trouble to deal with this question from her sister for who knows how many times, while tapping quickly on her mobile phone.
【Where are you? Can you make it in time? 】
Bai Hejing, nineteen years old, has just entered college this year. She is currently spending her rare vacation, replacing her unattractive parents, taking her cute but annoying sister to the beach to "waste her time" on vacation.
To be honest, Bai Hejing sometimes envies her sister.
After all, Bai Heying has been cared for by her parents since she was born, and grew up in a peaceful and beautiful family environment.
Not like her.
Completely opposite to her younger sister, Bai Hejing grew up in an actual single-parent family when she was young, with a shadowy grandfather, a cold mansion, servants whose faces could not be seen, and a mother who was always away from home... These are Bai Hejing's memories of her childhood.
It wasn't until she was almost ten years old that she truly met her father for the first time.
That was a man who was so fragile that he looked like he would die in the next moment.
This was Bai Hejing's first impression of her father.
Fortunately, the resonance in the bloodline dispelled the unfamiliarity between father and daughter. Except for disappearing suddenly for a few days from time to time, her father was indeed very competent.
Bai Hejing's mother's surname is Karasuma, and she was originally the daughter of Renya Karasuma, the head of the Karasuma Group, Japan's super conglomerate.
But it is said that because he had a dream of becoming an international superstar, he gave himself the stage name Sharon Wynyard and came to the United States to film, and settled there for a long time.
Bai Hejing's father's name is Bai Heqing. On the surface, he is a super soft-boiled man who relies on his wife to make money to support the family and has no job.
Bai Hejing once thought so.
Because in the first few years when their father and daughter got to know each other, Bai Heqing really didn't have a job, and he didn't go out to look for it. He just stayed at home every day. When he got bored, he took her everywhere to play, which cost money. Then she asked her mother for it.
The point is that Bai Heqing's appearance is indeed very good-looking, with a natural pretty face. This made the young Bai Heqing once think that his father was a pretty boy who won the favor of his mother through his "beauty".
At that time, she even imagined a lot of examples: Bai Heqing played with Sharon's feelings with sweet words, tricked her into giving birth to a child and then disappeared from the world. Her poor mother searched hard for ten years before she finally took this carefree and useless girl into her own hands. The emotional drama of a responsible soft-hearted father coaxing him back home...
The young Bai Heqing was extremely convinced of the plot she imagined. She thought she had discovered her father's "ugly face", but it was only because Bai Heqing had always been very good to her that she reluctantly decided not to persuade her mother to marry him. divorce.
This situation changed when Bai Hejing started to go to middle school.
Bai Heqing disappeared again.
In Bai Hejing's eyes, this is the only shortcoming of his father besides his love of eating soft food.
"Disappeared" was her own way of saying it. According to Bai Heqing, he just had to go out for a few days temporarily for something else.
Sometimes the excuse for going out is that there is something going on at a distant relative's house, sometimes it's because a friend from abroad is inviting him to visit, and sometimes it's because he has found a job as an actor and is going to film in a foreign studio, but most of the time it's just a matter of time. He didn't even make up the reasons, he just said he was going out for a few days.
In these situations, without exception, Bai Heqing would never take her with him. It was not until Bai Hejing finally found the opportunity to follow him quietly that he finally learned the secret hidden behind their family, a mysterious black man. Clothes tissue...
"Really, you clearly promised to take me out to play today..."
Next to her, her younger sister Bai Heying's complaints brought back Bai Hejing's thoughts that had drifted away.
She looked down at the phone in her hand and found that there was already a reply on it.
【Already on the way, we should be there in a while. 】
"I think if we wait a little longer, they should be here."
Putting away his mobile phone, Bai Hejing smiled and touched Bai Heying's head, then took her to a nearby parasol and propped up the beach chair in his hand.
The same is true today. Originally, these two people in her family were going to take their little daughter out to play, but something unexpected happened suddenly in the organization. It seemed that a traitor had defected with the organization's internal intelligence. The situation was urgent, and those two people had to go. Go and take care of it, so she brought her sister over first because she didn't want to go out...
Even so, in fact, such emergencies have become much less common in recent years, especially in the past few years, when Bai Heqing and Sharon went out on missions much more often than in recent years.
Bai Hejing could feel that the two of them seemed to be deliberately and gradually separating themselves from the black organization... Maybe they also wanted to live a truly peaceful life, right?
For Bai Hejing, this is a good thing.
After setting up the beach chair, Bai Hejing lay on it leisurely, took off his sunglasses, reached out and took out a book from the bag, and casually said to Bai Heying, who was standing next to him, holding a volleyball and looking at him eagerly:
"Okay, sister is going to read a book, go and play by yourself."
"Sister Jing, I want you to play with me." Bai Heying gestured to the volleyball in her hand.
"No, there are so many children around, just find a boy you like to play with you." Bai Hejing refused ruthlessly.
"But, I want to be with Sister Jing..." Bai Heying still looked at her longingly.
【What a headache...】
Bai Hejing sighed softly. She put down what she was holding and began to think seriously about what she could do to deceive her sister away without hurting her conscience.
"Long time no see, Brother Shuichi."
At this time, under the umbrella next to the sisters, a voice suddenly sounded.
