Wooden man, this is the nickname that Kogumaru gave to Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
The reason is that Shirakawa Kiyoshi usually has a cold face and speaks in the same cold tone that never changes. He is just like a piece of emotionless wood.
"Do you want to say a few words to him?" Keiko Hatoyama asked with a smile, ignoring her teasing.
"Just chat with the two of you, I won't disturb you."
The sound of a kettle pouring water came from the phone, and Xiao Wuwan said calmly:
"After all, I don't know who it was. After learning that Mutouren was missing, I was so worried about him the whole day yesterday. I didn't take my medicine properly. I lay in bed in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. I kept crying and calling the old master of the Hatoyama family to urge him to find someone. He said that if Mutouren got into trouble, I would not live either. He made a fuss all night and finally stopped in the morning. It really tortured me...
Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that our sister Huizi actually has this side..."
It seemed that he was specifically speaking to Shirakawa Qing on the other end of the phone. Not only did Kokarasuma deliberately raise his voice, but when he said the next few sentences, he also deliberately changed his tone, imitating Hatoyama Keiko's tone at that time, giving Shirakawa Qing a sense of purpose. The wave scene reappears.
"Wow! Ah—Karasuma-chan, don't say that! Don't say that!"
As for the person involved, Keiko Hatoyama desperately covered the microphone and shouted loudly to try to stop Kokarasuma.
If Shirakawa Kiyoshi was in this ward now, he would be able to see that Hatoyama Keiko's pale cheeks had already turned red.
"What? Someone is shy?"
However, Kokarasuma didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go, and instead raised his voice even louder.
"Then why weren't you shy when you were dying last night?"
"Wow! Keiko Hatoyama started screaming and talking nonsense.
"Well, you don't have to tell me if you want me to."
Feeling that the time was almost right, Kokarasuma chuckled and handed the cup of water and medicine that had been prepared long ago to Hatoyama Keiko.
"Take the medicine quickly, and I will forget everything about someone last night."
"That's too bad. How can you do this..."
Keiko Hatoyama quickly gave in, took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp, then picked up the cup of water and drank it down in one gulp.
"Wait for me, little Karasuma. I will ask grandpa to transfer you away and replace you with another nurse..."
"Give up. You can't do it. Old Patriarch Hatoyama has already said that I will take care of your daily life in the hospital, Sister Keiko."
"Humph, I will definitely find a way..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, we still have the medicine."
"Well……"
On the other end of the phone, the two were bickering with each other, while on the other side in Paris, Shirakawa Kiyoshi was listening to them quietly with a smile on his face.
"White River."
At this moment, Mary poked her head in from the door of the secret room behind her, holding a quilt and taking a look.
"I found it. There's a spare mattress in the bedroom closet... Oh, sorry, are you on the phone?"
"Yeah." Bai Heqing nodded at her with an apologetic look on his face.
"I see. You go ahead and do your work." Mary nodded, and without asking any more questions, she turned around and left with the bedding in her arms.
“Eh? Eh eh eh——”
At this moment, Keiko Hatoyama on the other end of the phone heard Mary's voice and immediately let out a very unexpected exclamation.
"Xiao Qing? Did I hear a girl's voice just now? She seemed to be speaking Japanese?"
"Girls?!"
Before Baihe Qing could reply, Xiao Wuwan on the other side also exclaimed, "It should be early morning in Paris, right? The wooden man is actually staying with a girl now?!"
"It's a friend I met in London." Faced with the two people's exclamations, Bai Heqing suddenly felt a headache.
"Yeah, friend."
"Her name is Sera Mari, she's of British and Japanese descent, and she's helped me a lot these past few days..."
"Yeah, he's a mixed-race."
"Then, because of the current situation in Paris, the two of us may have to stay in an apartment for one night..." Shirakawa Kiyoshi said truthfully. He would never lie to Hatoyama Keiko, no matter what.
"Yeah, Xiaoqing is going to cheat." Hatoyama Keiko nodded and said something shocking.
"Oh oh, is the wooden man finally going to cheat?" Xiao Wuwan echoed.
"no!"
Shirakawa Kiyoshi retorted loudly and righteously, which scared Mary who was in the bedroom.
"Mary sleeps in the bedroom! I'm going to sleep on the floor in the living room! I'll ask her to lock the bedroom door!"
"puff……"
Just teasing him a little, Keiko Hatoyama couldn't help laughing, and she comforted him:
"Okay, I know. No, no, Mr. Stewart called and told Grandpa about these things an hour ago..."
Having said this, Keiko Hatoyama's tone suddenly dropped.
"Xiao Qing, I heard that the bullet almost penetrated your heart, is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Heqing remained silent and did not answer.
He mentioned all these things when explaining to Stuart what he and Mary had experienced in the past two days, but he didn't expect that Stuart would also tell these details to the old master of the Hatoyama family.
"It's not that exaggerated." After a long silence, Bai Heqing only said this.
The two of them were silent over the phone.
"When will you come back?" In the end, it was Keiko Hatoyama who spoke first to break the silence.
"There is one more thing to deal with, and the time is not certain yet." Bai Heqing replied.
Tomorrow morning he and Mary will take the earliest flight back to London. According to the doctor on the freighter, Black Rose will take the initiative to meet with them and discuss the "deal" between them.
According to the doctor, this transaction seems to be related to a batch of "inheritance". The specific situation can only be explained by Black Rose herself.
After hearing what he said, Keiko Hatoyama didn't ask any more questions.
"Be careful, I don't want anything to happen to you." She said softly.
"Yeah, I know." Bai Heqing nodded and replied softly.
"go to bed early."
"Ah."
"Ah, right."
Suddenly, the subject changed and Keiko Hatoyama returned to her previous playful tone.
"You can't attack a little girl in the middle of the night, okay?"
"Absolutely not!!" Shirakawa Qingchao replied loudly.
Just like that, the originally somewhat depressed atmosphere between the two was blown away by this joking remark.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Heqing turned around and saw Mary who was hiding at the door of the secret room and eavesdropping.
"Hmm? Mary?"
"Well!"
Mary, who turned around and tried to escape but failed, turned back when she heard the voice, pulling her hair, her eyes wandering, and her expression slightly embarrassed.
"Well, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that I heard you shout, Baihe, so I was a little curious, haha..."
Chapter 417 Will You Attack Me at Night Again? !
"Ah! Right, that's right!"
In Paris, in the MI6 apartment base, Mary, who was caught eavesdropping, hurriedly changed the subject in embarrassment. She quickly took out the spare bedding she had found earlier from the bedroom and said to Shirakawa Qing:
"Look! I just found this in the bedroom. Baihe, you sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll use this to sleep on the floor."
"Um……"
Bai Heqing looked at the quilt in Mary's hand, with a look of hesitation on his face. After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"No, you sleep in the apartment, I'll go out and find a place to sleep..."
Although on the phone just now, he told Keiko that he would lay the floor in the apartment tonight and asked her not to think too much about it.
But now that he had hung up the phone and thought carefully, after all, they were both adult men and women, and it really wasn't good for them to squeeze into the same apartment... He might as well just go out and sleep, it was only one night anyway.
After saying that, Bai Heqing walked out of the secret room.
"Mary, you should rest well in your room tonight, and be careful not to be..."
But just as he was about to walk around Mary and leave, Mary suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Where are you going?" Mary looked at him and asked.
"Just find a suitable hotel, don't worry." Bai Heqing said with a smile.
"No!" Mary refused him sternly as soon as he finished speaking. "You know the situation in Paris now. If you go out to find those hotels, what if..."
"Don't worry, there are so many hotels in Paris. It's impossible for the mafia to monitor every hotel, right?" Bai Heqing continued.
"no!"
Mary refused again sternly. She looked up at Bai Heqing with an anxious tone.
"This is too dangerous. What if? What if they really find you? What will you do then? Go to Paris with them for a big escape?
You can't even tell a white person's face apart, right? How do you know if there are Mafia spies in those hotels?"
"don’t worry."
Bai Heqing raised his hand and pressed down the hand that was holding his arm. Looking at the anxious expression on her face that showed concern for him, he said with a slightly helpless tone:
“Mary, I really can’t tell the difference between white people’s faces, but I’ve always been good at observing subtle expressions on people’s faces. Don’t worry, if they really are the Mafia’s spies, there’s no way I wouldn’t be able to tell.
Besides, you know that I am very strong and I have always had good luck in this regard. Even if I am discovered by those mafia members, I will definitely be able to escape..."
"Okay! Stop being stubborn!"
