Before Baihe Qing could finish his words, Mary suddenly shouted and interrupted him forcefully.
"Isn't it just sleeping in the same room?! We're not sleeping in the same bed! I don't care, so why do you care so much?!
There was clearly a door between us, could you really pick the lock and come in to have sex with me in the middle of the night?!
You have to go out even though your wounds haven’t healed yet! You have to go out! What if something happens to you again? What if, what if you…”
After yelling at Baihe Qing loudly, Mary's voice suddenly softened at the end, her nose felt sore, and she began to sob again.
"If something really happens to you, Shirakawa, how can I explain it to the director and your family in Tokyo?"
Mary choked and rubbed her eyes hard with her hands.
"Do you really want me to tell them that I was the one who killed you?"
Mary actually still hasn't gotten over the fact that Shirakawa Kiyoshi was almost shot to death by a sniper at the dock when he came to save her.
Or perhaps it should be said that she simply couldn't let go.
Even during the day when Mary was unconscious, she had dreamed countless times about the nightmare scene in which Shirakawa Kiyoshi was shot through the heart by the bullet because she failed to push out, and finally fell in front of her...
She really didn't want Bai Heqing to be in any danger because of her.
Bai Heqing stood there in a daze, looking at Mary who suddenly burst into tears, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her face.
But when he stretched out his hand halfway, he suddenly stopped and then retracted it.
"I'm sorry..." Putting his hand down, Bai Heqing looked down at her and said apologetically: "I didn't consider your feelings, I'm sorry..."
"So are you going to stay in this apartment tonight?" Mary wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked with a slightly tearful tone.
"it is good."
This time, without any hesitation, Bai Heqing nodded in agreement.
"It's just that I'll sleep on the floor and you can sleep on the bed."
"It's up to you. I won't argue with you."
Mary stuffed the quilt in her hand towards Bai Heqing, lowered her head, turned around and walked into the bedroom.
"Ah, and..."
Just then, Bai Heqing suddenly called her.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Mary rubbed her eyes again and then turned around to look at her. Even in the dark, Bai Heqing couldn't see the tear marks on her face.
"Well, I want to say..."
Bai Heqing looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Under Mary's puzzled eyes, he raised his hand to scratch his face, opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to speak.
"I will never pick the lock in the middle of the night and do anything to you... to you, so, so you don't have to worry, just sleep well at night and have a good rest..."
He thought about it for a long time and still felt that he needed to explain this.
"Huh?"
Mary was completely stunned when she heard what he said. She stared with wide eyes in disbelief at Bai Heqing, who seemed a little embarrassed.
"Ah! I see! So, Shirakawa, you wanted to tell me this..."
His voice suddenly stuttered, and Mary's face instantly turned red.
It seemed that she only realized at this moment how outrageous her words were before...
"Well, I, I know, and ah! I was a little emotional just now, so, I said some strange words, Baihe, you, you can't care about it! I, I didn't mean that either! Do you understand?!"
I don’t know if she was trying to hide something, but Mary suddenly shouted very loudly.
"Yeah, I know..." Bai Heqing just nodded blankly.
"That, that's good..."
All of a sudden, the atmosphere between the two of them became awkward.
"Then, I'll go to bed first?"
"okay……"
As if wanting to escape from this strange atmosphere, after saying goodbye, Mary quickly closed the door, leaned against the door, and slapped her cheek hard.
【Calm down! Go to sleep! Don’t let your mind wander! 】
Outside the door, Bai Heqing swept the living room with bedding in his arms, and finally chose a spot near the bedroom door to spread the bedding.
This location is far away from the windows and doors, and considering the worst-case scenario if someone attacks in the middle of the night, he will have a little more time to react.
Okay, sleep.
Having said that, it might be difficult for both of them to fall asleep tonight.
Chapter 418 He was going back anyway
……
When I woke up, nothing happened.
Mary slept more soundly than Bai Heqing, so when she woke up, Bai Heqing had already made up the bedding, checked the wound, and then stood on the balcony for a long time.
"Awake?" Hearing the noise behind him, Bai Heqing turned to look at her and greeted her.
"Ah."
Mary twisted her neck and nodded in response, while glancing at the photo in Bai Heqing's hand.
Before she woke up, Bai Heqing seemed to have been looking at the photo, but unfortunately, due to the angle, before she could see clearly what was in the photo, Bai Heqing had already put it back into his pocket.
"Get ready, it's time to go."
"it is good."
Mary nodded without paying too much attention, and after they simply washed and dressed, they left the apartment.
When they arrived at the Paris airport, the two thought they would need to book their own flight tickets, but instead they met an MI6 agent sent by Stewart to pick them up at the airport.
It seemed that Bai Heqing's disappearance two days ago had really frightened him, so much so that Stuart had to send someone to pick him up on the last leg of the journey...
Who knows, maybe the apartment where he and Mary slept last night has been under close surveillance and protection?
Suddenly, this idea popped into Baihe Qing's mind.
In this way, the two boarded the plane under the escort of MI6 agents, and then spent the two-hour journey safely. Two days later, they returned to the headquarters of MI6 - London, England.
Stuart did not ask to meet the two men, nor did he make any special requests of them. After Bai Heqing called to tell him that they had arrived in London, Stuart directly withdrew the agents who came back with them and said, "You two can have fun, and just call me if you need any help."
This is very wrong.
Admittedly, Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary really don't want to be followed by this group of agents now.
After all, according to what the doctor on the freighter said, after the two return to London, Black Rose will take the initiative to come to them and discuss their "inheritance" with them.
If they don't find a way to withdraw these protective agents, Black Rose will probably not appear so easily, and Baihe Qing and the others have no way to contact her.
Now that Stuart has taken the initiative to withdraw these agents, it has indeed facilitated the two men's subsequent actions.
But at the same time, Bai Heqing was keenly aware of the abnormality.
I don't know if he is too sensitive, but Bai Heqing always feels that Stuart's actions always seem like he knows what the two are going to do next, so he deliberately opens the door for them...
It seems that the words he prepared on the phone yesterday did not really deceive the old man...
When Qing Shirakawa explained to Stuart what happened to him and Mary in Paris two days ago, he deliberately concealed the presence of Black Rose in these events.
After all, no matter what, this thief lady did save his and Mary's lives. If he turned around and betrayed her to MI6, Baihe Qing would feel guilty.
Mary thought the same, although she was still angry that she was being followed by Black Rose but didn't realize it...
So after discussing, the two of them jointly weaved the prepared rhetoric, but now it seems that their lies did not fool Stewart, and even allowed Stewart to infer their next actions.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
Realizing this, Baihe Qing sighed softly.
But since the old man didn't expose their little trick, he probably tacitly approved of their next actions.
"Baihe, what should we do next? When do you think Black Rose will contact us?" Mary asked as soon as she walked out of the London airport.
"She must have investigated our identities. I think she also knows that I won't stay in London for too long, so it won't be too late..."
I won’t stay in London for long…
After hearing what Shirakawa Qing said, for some reason, Mary suddenly felt a little depressed.
Not noticing her abnormality, Bai Heqing thought for a moment and then spoke again:
"Let's go to your apartment first, Mary. I think there should be clues there... Hmm? Mary?"
Not hearing her response, Bai Heqing turned to look at her, but found that she was lowering her head, as if she was distracted.
"Ah? Okay! Then let's go to the apartment I rented first!" Mary suddenly came back to her senses and replied quickly.
"What's wrong?" Bai Heqing looked at her puzzledly.
"No, nothing! Let's go! Don't waste time! There are people in Tokyo waiting for you to go back!"
Mary quickly passed on the subject and walked quickly ahead.
"call……"
Taking a long breath, Mary shook her head vigorously to get rid of the tangled thoughts in her mind.
[Don’t let your imagination run wild! Mary, don’t forget that you wanted to get rid of these troubles as soon as possible! It’s only been a few days! ]
[Besides, Shirakawa was originally going back to Tokyo...]
And so the two of them returned all the way to Mary's apartment in London.
Just as Shirakawa Kiyoshi had previously speculated, there were indeed clues related to the Black Rose in Mary's apartment.
But what he didn't expect was that this clue would be so...
"Hey? You two are back?"
After opening the door, Shirakawa Qing and Mary walked in and saw Black Rose, who was wearing an apron and standing by the stove making lunch, turned her head and greeted them with a smile.
