I could never have imagined that more than a decade later, the research on the silver bullet would still fall on you. I can only say... is this God's will?"
This time, the silent person was Miyano Shiho. She pondered for a long time and did not respond to Shirakawa Kiyoshi, but asked this question.
“If the research is successful, what would you like to do with it?”
If you were given a silver bullet to actually complete research, how would you want to use it?
This was a very special question. She was trying to determine the authenticity of what Shirakawa Kiyoshi had just said to her.
After all, before their meeting today, they had not seen each other for almost two years. Miyano Shiho also wanted to know whether Shirakawa Kiyoshi had changed in these two years.
"Do something with it?"
After hearing this, Bai Heqing thought for a moment and gave his answer.
"My body is failing me."
Miyano Shiho was not surprised by this. During the ten years that Shirakawa Kiyoshi had taken care of her, she had already vaguely sensed that Shirakawa Kiyoshi was not in good health, but she was not sure to what extent this "bad" health was.
"The reason is still the incomplete experiment your mother did for me before she died, and the only way to solve this problem is to get a complete silver bullet.
It’s really funny to say that I have become a person with countless worries in my heart. If I can, I really want to live a little longer..."
"you are lying."
However, Miyano Shiho denied what he said, which made Shirakawa Kiyoshi stunned.
"I am now finally sure that most of the things you just said about the past are true. Even what you are talking about now, the thing that you are worried about, is true. They are indeed your true thoughts, but..."
She turned her head and looked at him, her tone firm.
"The only thing you said was a lie in the last sentence."
Bai Heqing looked at her in surprise, as if he had not expected that she could say such a thing.
However, Miyano Shiho's reasoning did not stop there. She just looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
More than a year ago, New York, USA.
In the quiet single-family villa, Shirakawa Qingzheng was sitting on the bed folding clothes.
At his feet was a large suitcase, which contained a large number of daily necessities arranged in a scattered manner.
The sound of doors opening and closing could be heard at the main entrance on the first floor of the villa outside the room.
After folding a round-neck sweater that was obviously meant for women and putting it into the suitcase, Bai Heqing looked up at the clock on the wall.
It is indeed time to come back.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard hurried footsteps on the stairs outside.
Without saying a word, Bai Heqing took a women's windbreaker from the bed next to him, folded it slowly, and put it back into the suitcase.
What was quite strange was that the suitcase at his feet, whether it was clothes or other daily necessities, were all women's style.
Obviously, these things were not prepared for him.
"Shirakawa!"
The sound of hurried footsteps soon came up the stairs to the door of the room. A girl still wearing a chemistry lab coat and carrying a backpack was breathing slightly and glared at Bai Heqing with dissatisfaction.
"Really?! I told you I would keep my clothes myself! I'm already seventeen! Seventeen! Did you know that?!
The girl seemed to be of mixed race, had brown curly hair, and was very beautiful.
Her name is Miyano Shiho. Both her parents are deceased. She is a genius orphan with double doctorates in medical chemistry. She is now being cared for and raised by a man named Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who is also a close friend of her parents.
"Ok, I know."
In response to her complaint, Bai Heqing just nodded, then reached out and took another women's shirt on the bed next to her.
She instantly got furious and rushed forward to snatch the shirt from his hand.
"I told you I can clean up after myself! Get out of here right now! Don't come into my room casually!"
"Feel sorry."
Letting her snatch the shirt from her hands, Miyano Shiho then noticed that Shirakawa Kiyoshi seemed a little depressed.
"I just thought that this might be the last time I pack these things for you, Shiho."
Hearing this, Miyano Shiho suddenly became quiet, and she sat next to Shirakawa Kiyoshi in the same silence.
Of course she knew the meaning of Bai Heqing's words.
"Have those people from the organization arrived?"
Miyano Shiho knew that her parents once worked for a mysterious black organization, and the purpose of this organization training her was to enable her to inherit a research that her parents had failed to complete.
Now that she has obtained a double degree in medical chemistry, it is time for her to go back.
"I just received news that they will arrive tomorrow." Bai Heqing replied.
"Will you go to Japan with me?"
This is the issue that Miyano Shiho is most concerned about.
In Japan, she didn't know anyone except her sister. If Shirakawa Kiyoshi could go back with her...
"No."
However, Shirakawa Qing shook his head and denied her expectations.
"Shiho, you know, I have a lot of things to do here, so I can't go back with you."
"That's it..."
Although she felt very sad and regretful, Miyano Shiho did not show it. Instead, she immediately smiled and looked at Shirakawa Kiyoshi, saying in a slightly smug tone:
"Don't worry! With my ability, I can handle any difficult research! I'll bring my sister to New York to see you after I finish it!"
However, her words did not impress Baihe Qing.
His face still had that hesitant and gloomy expression.
"Shiho..."
Finally, after a long silence, Bai Heqing suddenly asked.
"Do you really want to go back to Japan?"
"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Miyano Shiho looked at him puzzled.
"I mean...if you don't want to, I can find a way to make you leave."
Bai Heqing's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
In the United States, with his abilities, he could use a method that no one would doubt and keep Miyano Shiho alive and out of the organization's sight.

Chapter 551 The Last Sunset (Key Points)
"I mean...if you don't want to, I can find a way to make you leave."
Bai Heqing's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
In the United States, with his abilities, he could use a method that no one would doubt and keep Miyano Shiho alive and out of the organization's sight.
At that time, Baihe Qing's heart was full of hesitation.
Now that I think about it, this might be the only chance, under the circumstances at that time, to make everything in the future less bad...
However, Miyano Shiho did not make the right choice at that time.
She just looked at Baihe Qing who said this quietly, and asked softly with a smile:
"Shirakawa, you also want to see the research completed, right?"
Bai Heqing did not respond to her gaze. He turned his head to look out the window of the room. The sun was setting. It was already evening and the sunset was burning its last rays of light.
"Yes."
Baihe Qing answered her truthfully, and then wanted to explain.
"but……"
"Besides, you actually need the results of your research, right?"
Miyano Shiho interrupted him. Although she had a smile on her face, she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
"Don't underestimate me, a doctor of medicine. Although you have been trying very hard to hide it, I have noticed that your health has been getting worse and worse, right?
Although you never said it explicitly, the organization specifically wants me to get a doctorate in medicine and chemistry. I guess they want me to research some special kind of medicine, right?
And this medicine can certainly be used to treat your body, right?"
"Shiho, this has nothing to do with me."
Bai Heqing heard this and shook his head slightly.
"To be honest, after so many years, I have let go of many things. But as for you, compared to my affairs, I really don't want you to get deeper into the organization..."
"But if you let me go, what will you do then?"
Miyano Shiho walked to the other side, forced her eyes to meet Shirakawa Kiyoshi's, and spoke seriously, word by word.
"Baihe, I want you to live well."
This was the truest thought in her mind at the time.
She was an orphan. Unlike her sister who was much older than her, her parents left her forever not long after she was born.
To be honest, she simply couldn't develop such deep feelings for two people she had never met before.
When it comes to the word "parents", the first person that comes to Miyano Shiho's mind is not her biological parents who have never appeared in her memory, but Shirakawa Kiyoshi who has raised her for ten years.
She wanted to cure Bai Heqing and make him live longer.
This was the only wish in the heart of the simple and brave girl at that time.
For this reason, even though Shirakawa Qing repeatedly told her that the organization was actually a very dangerous place, she was willing to go back and try.
Having said this, Bai He knew clearly that it would be meaningless for him to say anything more.
He just looked at Miyano Shiho deeply, then lowered his eyes and said:
