Time came when Bai Heqing and Bai Hejing had not yet been transferred back to Japan, and they were still under the American emperor.
At that time, Shirley had returned to Japan for some time. She was worthy of being the daughter of the Miyano couple. Under her leadership, the organization's "silver bullet" research, which had been stagnant for many years, finally made a breakthrough.
After learning the news, Bai Hejing informed Bai Heqing of this information.
At that time, Bai Hejing had just returned from Europe.
Just as she was apparently conducting academic research at a European university, Bai Hejing was sent to Europe by Bai Heqing ten years ago to establish the European branch. In the next ten years, unless it is to collect To Bai Heqing's request, otherwise she would actually spend most of her time in Europe.
This is because Bai Heqing has the need to take care of Shirley, so he has hardly left the United States in the past ten years, so he can only leave matters in Europe to her.
"Father, it's information from Rum."
In an ordinary residential room, Bai Heqing was leaning on a recliner, facing the sun, holding a newspaper in his hand.
Even though technology in today's world has developed rapidly, people of their time still retained some habits of reading newspapers.
Bai Hejing stood behind him and said softly:
"Shirley's research has made breakthrough progress. According to the current progress, she may be able to complete the research on the silver bullet within two years."
Bai Hejing originally thought that after hearing the news, Bai Heqing would show some happiness or excitement on his face.
After all, Bai Heqing had been waiting for this scene since ten years ago. After all, his body was already crumbling.
According to the time estimated by the medical staff ten years ago, Bai Heqing is now on the verge of running out of fuel.
However, neither.
After learning the news, Bai Heqing did not show any emotion that could be described as "excited". He just flipped through the newspaper in his hand, then nodded calmly and said:
"Well, I understand."
This surprised Bai Hejing.
Because she could feel that this was not Bai Heqing deliberately suppressing his emotions, nor was he pretending to be reserved.
Bai Heqing's mood at this moment is really as unbelievably calm as what he is showing now, as if... he just heard an ordinary little thing?
Extremely keen, Bai Hejing noticed something strange in her heart at that time.
This does not conform to the logic of a person's normal expression of emotions.
Ten years ago, in order to get rid of the sequelae of the incomplete experiment, Bai Heqing left his family and faked his death to take over the European and American branches of the organization.
Over the past ten years, Bai Heqing has been continuously trying his best to recruit suitable scientific researchers from all over the world, trying to continue to promote the research of "silver bullets".
For this reason, he even took the Miyano couple's little daughter to his side and raised him personally...
All of this is enough to illustrate Bai Heqing's desire to complete the research on the "Silver Bullet".
But now, when Shirley really advances the research, Bai Heqing's reaction has become so dull?
This...is really unreasonable.
She even thought about whether it was because Bai Heqing had determined from early on that Shirley would definitely be able to advance the research on the "Silver Bullet", so he was able to act so calmly?
But this is impossible.
Although the youngest daughter of the Miyano couple does have considerable talent, she has never come into contact with any research information on the "Silver Bullet" before. No one dares to conclude that she will be able to complete this project before she actually takes over it. A miraculous study.
Bai Heqing's performance was really too bland.
"Ajing, is there anything else?"
Just when Bai Hejing was in a trance, Bai Heqing, who was leaning on the lounge chair in front of her, said:
"If you want to bask in the sun, go and bring a chair yourself. Otherwise, no matter how long you stand behind, Dad will never give you my chair..."
Ignoring Bai Heqing's teasing joke, Bai Hejing hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:
"Father, aren't you...happy?"
"You mean, 'silver bullet'?"
Bai Heqing seemed to know what she wanted to ask.
Perhaps similarly, he also knew what she was thinking when she stood behind him just now...
"Yes." Bai Hejing nodded and replied truthfully: "I saw you just now, but you didn't show any happy reaction..."
After the words fell, Bai Hejing clearly heard a chuckle coming from Bai Heqing's mouth.
"How could it be? I am really happy that Shirley can promote the research on 'Silver Bullet'."
Although he said so, Bai Hejing still couldn't hear the happy emotion in his tone.
"To be honest."
Finally putting down the newspaper in his hand, Bai Heqing raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
"In fact, I have wanted to see the completion of 'Silver Bullet' since a long time ago..."
There was nostalgia in his tone, and there seemed to be sadness.
It's just that Bai Hejing at that time couldn't understand the true meaning of Bai Heqing's words.
If this incident only made Bai Hejing feel a little strange, then another incident not long after that really made her feel a little suspicious.
That's something related to Miyano Akemi.
For some unknown reason, Miyano Akemi suddenly came up with the idea of taking her sister out of the organization, and even made a fuss about it within the organization.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Shirakawa Qing was here, and with his status and ability in the organization, it would be too easy to just cover up this farce.
But the problem is that Miyano Akemi doesn't know if there is something wrong in her mind, or if she is bewitched by someone.
She clearly had Bai Heqing's contact information, but she had no intention of discussing this matter with Bai Heqing. She didn't even want to tell him about it, so she acted extremely recklessly on her own.
If Umeshu, who was left in Japan by Shirakawa Kiyo, had not passed on this information in time before the situation completely deteriorated, Shirakawa Kiyo, who was far away in the United States at that time, would not have known that Miyano Akemi had actually caused such a thing in Japan. .
So soon, Shirakawa Shizu was sent to Japan by Shirakawa Kiyo, secretly protecting Miyano Akemi, and publicly claiming that she had been killed by Gin.
As for the truth of this matter, Bai Heqing did not tell Shirley immediately.
The reason is simple. Miyano Akemi's farce has made many undercover agents in the organization notice Shirley's existence.
In order to minimize the impact of this incident, and also to prevent these undercover agents from seeing the clues to Miyano Akemi's death, they can further become aware of Shirley's special nature in the organization.
Bai Heqing needs Shirley to appear grief-stricken for a period of time until the impact of this incident is completely overturned.
On the night when she rescued Miyano Akemi, Bai Heqing explained to her in detail what Bai Heqing had done, and Miyano Akemi also told her two things.
The first is that she suddenly wanted to take her sister out of the organization, and there was no reason why she wanted to seek help from Bai Heqing.
Because she is in love.
The subject is an undercover agent from the FBI, whose codename in the organization is Rye Whiskey.
Rye Whiskey told her that the organization did many evil things, and the people in the organization also had blood on their hands, showing no humanity.
Rye Whiskey's words and deeds made Miyano Akemi finally have the idea of leaving the organization, and even rejected Shirakawa Kiyo, a friend of her parents during their lifetime.
And it eventually turned into that farce.
The second thing is that she must ask Shirazuki to accompany her to the Miyano family's old residence.
As for the reason, she hasn't said yet.
Or should I say, she didn't have the chance to say it.
Because that night, Bai Hejing, who had relaxed her vigilance, was suddenly attacked by an unknown person. At that critical moment, it was Miyano Akemi who pushed her away.
But the price was that Miyano Akemi herself died under that shot.
Although Bai Hejing, who was burning with anger, quickly locked the position of the sniper and miraculously completed the counterattack against the sniper.
But Miyano Akemi still died, and died right in front of her eyes.
Before she died, Bai Hejing only heard Miyano Akemi repeatedly saying the word "home" to her, and her comforting eyes that wanted her not to feel guilty...
Since then, the scene that night has almost become Bai Hejing's nightmare.
She has recalled the scene of this night in her dreams countless times. Even when performing tasks several times, the tragic scene of Miyano Akemi before her death would appear in front of her eyes more than once...
Of course, Bai Hejing never told Bai Heqing this. She only briefly reported Miyano Akemi's death at the time.
But regarding the death of Miyano Akemi, Shirakawa Kiyoshi made another unexpected move for her at that time.
It was his move that finally made Bai Hejing feel a little suspicious.
Father...does he really want to complete the research on the "Silver Bullet"?
