This situation changed when Shirakawa Shizuka started middle school.
Baihe Qing disappeared again.
In Bai Hejing's eyes, this is the only shortcoming of her father besides his love of living off his wife.
"Disappeared" was her own term. According to Bai Heqing, he just had to go out for a few days due to some urgent matters.
The excuses for going out are sometimes that something happened to a distant relative, sometimes that he was invited by a friend from abroad, and sometimes that he found a job as an actor and had to go to a film set in another place. But more often than not, he didn't even make up a reason and just said that he was going out for a few days.
In all these situations, without exception, Shirakawa Qing never took her with him. It was not until one day when Shirakawa Jing finally found an opportunity to follow him secretly that she finally learned the secret behind their family, a mysterious black organization...
"Really? You clearly said you would take me out to play today..."
Beside her, the complaints of her younger sister Bai Heying brought back Bai Hejing's thoughts which had wandered away.
She looked down at the phone in her hand and found that there was already a reply message on it.
[We are 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 the phone, Bai Hejing touched Bai Heying's head with a smile, then took her to a parasol nearby and set up the beach chair in his hand.
Today was no exception. Originally, the two of them were going to take their little daughter out to play, but something unexpected happened in the organization. It seemed that a traitor had defected with the organization's internal information. The situation was urgent, and the two of them had to deal with it. That's why she, who didn't want to go out, brought her sister here first...
Even so, such emergencies have actually become much less frequent in recent years, especially in the past few years, when Shirakawa Qing and Sharon went out on missions far more often than in recent years.
Bai Hejing could feel that these two people seemed to be intentionally separating themselves from the Black Organization... Maybe they also wanted to live that kind of truly peaceful life?
This is a good thing for Shirakawa Jing.
After setting up the beach chair, Bai Hejing lay on it leisurely, took off his sunglasses, reached into his bag and took out a novel. He 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 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 mercilessly.
"But, I want to be with Sister Jing..." Bai Heying still looked at her eagerly.
【What a headache...】
Bai Hejing sighed softly, put down the novel in her hand, and began to think seriously about how she could trick her sister away without feeling guilty.
"Long time no see, Shuichi-nii."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded under the parasol next to the two sisters.
Chapter 492 You are a rebellious son, your fist is hard
"Long time no see, Shuichi-nii."
On the resort beach, right next to the two Baihe sisters, under the parasol, was lying a dark-skinned, sturdy man.
The man was wearing beach shorts, shirtless, with his hands behind his head, a black hat on his head, and sunglasses. He looked to be around 20 years old, about the same age as Shirakawa Jing.
In front of the man in sunglasses stood a man with fair skin who was much thinner in comparison.
The man was also wearing beach pants and a yellow short-sleeved jacket on his upper body. His hair was a little messy. He looked a year or two younger than the man in sunglasses and had a weak appearance.
"Well, it's been seven years since we last met, and you've grown up, Hideyoshi."
After taking a look at his younger brother, Akai Shuichi said in a calm tone.
"Are you already a senior this year?"
"Ah."
Hideyoshi nodded, then reached out and pulled out a little girl who had been hiding behind him, and said gently:
"Come on, why don't you say hello first? Today is a very meaningful first meeting, huh?"
This was a little girl wearing a children's swimsuit, who looked about six or seven years old. She had some similarities with Akai Shuichi in appearance. After being pulled out from behind by Hideyoshi, she still hugged his thighs, looked at Akai Shuichi timidly, and said:
"Hello, I'm Zhenchun..."
"Hmm? Who is this little girl?" Akai Shuichi looked the little girl up and down and frowned subconsciously.
His reaction scared the already timid little girl Masumi back behind Hideyoshi.
"It's your sister. I've sent you photos before, right?" Hideyoshi reminded.
"Ah, it seems to be true." Akai Shuichi nodded slightly, "I remember when I came to the United States seven years ago, my mother seemed to be pregnant indeed..."
"Really..."
Hideyoshi was helpless about Akai Shuichi's indifferent attitude. He shook his head, then looked around and asked in confusion:
"By the way, is that Mother Mary? Didn't she go to the hotel where you were staying to pick you up? Why isn't she here?"
"Oh, nothing. My mother and I had a small conflict in the hotel..."
When Hideyoshi asked this, Akai Shuichi suddenly sat up, and while speaking, he raised his hand and took off his sunglasses.
Under his sunglasses, there was a very obvious bruise on his left eye.
"Then I was hit by her hand, which caused my eyes to become like this now, but you don't have to worry..."
As he spoke, Akai Shuichi put on his sunglasses again, looked at Hideyoshi, and said with a slightly smug tone:
"After all, I punched her two or three times. I guess my mother is probably looking for ice cubes to cool her down now..."
"It's your head that should really be iced."
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Shuichi Akai. He turned around and found that his mother, Mary Akai, suddenly appeared behind him.
Mary was also wearing a swimsuit and a sun hat, with her hands on her hips, looking at Akai Shuichi expressionlessly.
"You told me that you wanted to study in the United States, so I allowed you to come and study abroad. I didn't expect that you would use this as an excuse to secretly investigate the truth about your father's incident...
What are you talking about joining the FBI after graduating from college? Where did you come from, you hot-blooded, childish kid? "
Facing his mother's ridicule, Akai Shuichi lay back on the beach chair again and said leisurely:
"I have already obtained American citizenship and a green card. All I need to do next is accumulate three more years of work experience, and then pass their training and exams, and everything will be fine."
"What about living expenses? What are you going to do? You don't think I will continue to support someone who says such stupid things, do you?!" Mary asked in a slightly raised voice.
"You don't need to worry about that. I've found a job that pays well. I can support myself with this job before joining the FBI."
Akai Shuichi replied again, with an attitude of "I've arranged everything, don't bother yourself with that."
"Really..."
Seeing him like this, Mary couldn't help but harden her fist again. She really wanted to knock this rebellious son unconscious and take him back.
But in the end, she let go and sighed helplessly.
"It's a rare opportunity for me to take you back home, so I made a trip to San Francisco... Forget it, just lie down here and calm your hot brain. Think carefully about what your father said back then. He..."
Just as she said this, Mary suddenly stopped, because she was keenly aware that a gaze from nearby was suddenly piercing her very directly.
This gaze came from under the parasol next to the few people. Mary immediately turned her head and saw a young silver-haired woman.
? 】
Bai Hejing lay on the beach chair with a novel in his hand, and the two of them looked at each other at this moment.
【How sharp. 】
"Xiaoying, come on, I'll take you to buy some food first."
"Great!"
Bai Hejing instantly withdrew her gaze, stood up, put down the book, and walked towards Haizhijia behind with Bai Heying's hand.
Mary stood there and watched Bai Hejing until she walked away, then she looked away.
[That girl...]
Without thinking too much, Mary glanced at Akai Shuichi again. Probably because she was afraid that she would not be able to resist and wanted to deal with him again, she turned and walked towards the parasol on the other side.
"Anyway, your dad's matter is not as simple as you think. Don't do anything stupid..."
Mary didn't want to say anything else.
She came to San Francisco this time to carry out a special mission for MI6.
According to the information obtained from the intelligence team, there happened to be a senior official in the mysterious black organization that she had been tracking down in recent years who seemed to want to leave the organization and was seeking protection from MI6.
Mary originally came to San Francisco as a contact person for this operation, but she had just boarded the plane when an MI6 informant received information that the senior official who wanted to defect had been dealt with internally by the Black Organization.
Coincidentally, at this time she also received a contact from her eldest son, saying that he wanted to join the FBI and investigate the truth behind his father's disappearance.
Mary was worried that he might be in danger in the future, so she asked for a leave from London, called Hideyoshi and Masumi, and went to San Francisco together to try to persuade her rebellious son to change his mind...
Of course, it seems that she has not succeeded now...
"You should say this to your mother."
With his hands behind his head, Akai Shuichi heard Mary's words and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"Haven't you been looking for Dad's whereabouts all these years?"
Chapter 493: Test from Hideyoshi
On the resort beach, because she sensed a dangerous aura from Mary, Bai Hejing used the excuse of buying snacks to take Bai Heying to the nearby Sea House.
……】
Holding Bai Heying's hand to prevent her from running around, Bai Hejing recalled the conversation between Mary's family just now.
The son who wanted to investigate his father, and the mother who made her feel that she was not simple, always felt that this family was not normal...
Well, of course she has no right to say such things. After all, her family is probably more abnormal than others...
Thinking of this, Bai Hejing chuckled and shook her head.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway. She came out to have fun today and she doesn’t want to cause any trouble.
"Ah, you are the sister who was next to us just now, right?"
Just as Bai Hejing had this thought, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
