"Ajing, is that you?"
Back in normal time, in the Mihua Edo Street, Mary tentatively guessed her identity after a brief fight with the disguised Shirakawa Shizu.
When he heard Mary calling out her nickname, Bai Hejing, who was originally confronting her, also had his pupils shrink suddenly.
She finally remembered. No wonder she felt that Mary in front of her felt familiar just now, as if she had seen her somewhere before...
Because they had actually seen each other before, on the vacation beach in San Francisco ten years ago, when the blond woman who suddenly appeared seemed to be familiar to Shirakawa.
Realizing this, Bai Hejing was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
Before taking on this bait, Bai Hejing certainly expected to meet a friend that Bai Heqing knew well in the past. After all, even Bai Heqing himself recognized this.
But she didn't expect that the other party could actually deduce her identity.
"Bai He is indeed not dead, right?" Sensing Bai He Jing's hesitation, Mary became more certain of her conjecture.
She looked at Bai Hejing, relaxed a little, and asked again: "He is the member of the black organization codenamed Regel, right?"
Bai Hejing still didn't respond. Even so, the original hesitation in her heart had quickly transformed into another kind of hesitation at this moment.
She hesitated, wondering whether to deal with Mary now.
This is not a lie. The questions Mary asked her are enough to show that Mary has equated the two identities of "Shirakawa Qing" and "Regel".
Ten years ago, it was precisely because he wanted to avoid this situation that Bai Heqing planned his second fake death, trying to make the identity of "Sai Heqing" completely die in front of the world.
And he basically succeeded. After the fake death ten years ago, the world knew that Bai Heqing was still alive and that he was Regel's person. Only Bai Heqing and Sharon were left.
In addition, there are either people like Mary who have doubts but cannot prove it at all, or people like her sister Bai Heying who firmly believe it.
This is an extremely dangerous signal.
Mary has realized and confirmed the relationship between "Shirakawa" and "Regel". Once she wants to expose this, everyone around Shirakawa may encounter unimaginable trouble.
Therefore, disposing of Mary, the extremely dangerous bomb, is a very suitable choice in Bai Hejing's opinion, and it is not impossible.
Although Mary also showed quite strong fighting ability in the brief battle between the two, Bai Hejing is still confident that she can defeat the opponent, at most it will take more effort.
What really made her hesitate was Bai Heqing's attitude.
Although he is not very clear about the specific story between Bai Heqing and Mary, Bai Hejing also knows that the two are old acquaintances who have a good relationship, at least they used to be.
Otherwise, Bai Heqing would not have followed Mary to London ten years ago just because of her words, or else Mary would not have been brooding over Bai Heqing's death for so many years.
This is where Bai Hejing hesitates.
She wasn't sure about Bai Heqing's attitude towards Mary, and wasn't sure whether he would confirm her act of killing Mary.
"And you?"
Just when Bai Hejing was hesitant, Mary looked at her and continued to ask:
"Ajing, what role did you play in that black organization?"
"When I was in Andrew's Kingdom, I met Sharon and Xiaoying."
Seeing that Bai Hejing still had no intention of responding to her, Mary said again.
"It was such a coincidence that the two of them appeared there. At that time, I decided that there must be a special relationship between Bai He and Regel.
Until now, I saw you here again... The answer to the matter is already very obvious. Ah Jing, tell me, where is Bai He now? "
【What? ! 】
Mary didn't know that her words finally prompted Bai Hejing to let go of the murderous intention in his heart.
Because she realized that the relationship between Mary and her father might be better than she had guessed.
At least, Mary would not attack the people around him just because she wanted to find or capture Shirakawa Qing.
Otherwise, Mary would have taken action as early as the Andrew Kingdom, and it would be impossible for Bai Heying to leave safely.
And after eliminating the most dangerous point in Bai Hejing's opinion, she no longer had any reason to get rid of Mary here.
Bai Heqing should make the decision on this matter, not her.
[In this case, let’s find a way to escape as soon as possible. 】
"He's here!"
At this moment, the men in suits who had been dumped by Bai Hejing finally caught up here.
"shot!"
After these people rushed out from the corner and saw Bai Hejing confronting Mary, they raised their pistols and pulled the trigger at her without hesitation.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Mary quickly called out to stop them, and at the same time rushed towards Bai Hejing, seemingly wanting to knock Bai Hejing down.
However, Bai Hejing's reaction was even faster. When the men in suits rushed out, she realized that this was a good opportunity to escape. She immediately turned around and ran towards the river on the street.
"Bang bang!"
"Plop!"
Even after Mary stopped drinking, there were still two gunshots, followed immediately by the sound of Bai Hejing jumping into the river.
When Mary rushed to the river, there was no movement under the water, only ripples on the surface of the river.
Mary hesitated for a moment, but finally did not go into the water to chase him.
She stood by the river and sighed softly.
The reason why she didn't chase him was not only that Bai Hejing's strength was stronger than she expected, but more importantly, it was also because Mary didn't want to reverse the priorities.
She has not forgotten that the final thing now is to find Bai Heqing, rather than continue to struggle with his daughter. After all, Bai Heqing is obviously deliberately putting out bait to attract her attention.
Although she didn't get any information from Bai Hejing, Mary was at least certain of one thing.
The mysterious detective who appeared in the lobby of the Guest House before, whether he was Bai Heqing or not, was the result of Bai Heqing's intentional actions.
With his extremely keen sense of danger, Shirakawa Kiyo is most likely aware of the true purpose of the Garden Operation Plan.
Therefore, he took advantage of the trick and deliberately exposed his identity... Maybe it can't be said to be exposed. After all, he just said the name "Bai Heqing". It's not like there are people with the same name in the world, and the unintentional listeners will naturally be surprised. Will think more about it.
But for those who really know the inside story, this has extraordinary significance...
Using this very simple and direct trick, Shirakawa Kiyo successfully attracted their attention, and then staged a drama of exchanging identities with his daughter, trapping them all in this Edo street.
There is no doubt that this is Bai Heqing's purpose.
But, what is his purpose for doing this?
