Tao Zhiming had already opened the car door and said to Hoshino Ling: "Get in the car."

Hoshino Ling's heart was beating violently. Although she wanted to leave here completely immediately, she still bent down first: "Master, please first..."

"Get in the car." Tao Zhiming said again, his expression calm and unquestionable.

Hoshino Suzu's heartbeat increased further, and this time she bent down again and got into the car first.

"Let's go."

Tao Zhiming got into the car and said to Kinoshita Xiufeng with a smile: "Brother Xiufeng, why are you sitting in the front?"

"You have completely expressed your willingness to get closer to Sumitomo, so it is natural for you to sit in the back." Kinoshita Hidefeng laughed sarcastically, "That guy Ansai also said it, it is a symbol of status!"

Tao Zhiming smiled: "This is our strategy."

Kinoshita Hidefeng is too lazy to tell him now.

Sitting aside, Hoshino Suzu looked at the manor that was gradually disappearing. Even though there was a future in front of the car that she didn't know at all, she still exhaled quietly and carefully.

Listening to their words, Hoshino Suzu felt scared. She held the box in front of Tao Zhiming and whispered: "Master, this should not be left to me for safekeeping..."

Tao Zhiming will indeed not be kept by her, at least for now.

Yuta Irie, who was in the front, looked back in the rearview mirror.

Owner?

"When you get out of there, from now on, in front of anyone, please call me Tao Jun." Tao Zhiming took the box and put it aside.

"As you command... Mr. Tao."

Tao Zhiming nodded and yawned: "Brother Xiufeng, you have to get up very early tomorrow to rush back to Tokyo. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get back."

Kinoshita Hidefeng "hummed" and then said: "Whatever you want."

Tao Zhiming looked at Hoshino Suzu with deep meaning.

Accepting this woman made Kinoshita Hidefeng's reaction so great, and Tao Zhiming also understood why.

Hoshino Suzu looked down at her feet, her knuckles turning white as she pinched her hands together, trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Tao Zhiming stretched out his hand and put it on hers.

The intimate gesture made Hoshino Suzu tense up, but she remained motionless.

Tao Zhiming asked: "Anzhai Shanwei said that your music theory, dance posture, and singing voice are all the best?"

"...Although that was Lord Anzai's compliment to me. But..." Hoshino Ling looked up at him with some fear, "Ring... is a little confident. If you want to test Ling, please...

Please give me your orders, Mr. Tao!"

"Really?" Tao Zhiming smiled brightly, "It will be a test. By the way, the driver's name is Xiongta Irie. He works for me now. If there are many things in the future, he will come to you."

Kinoshita Hidefeng raised her eyebrows when she heard this, she was not completely drunk after all.

Hoshino Suzu immediately nodded timidly in the back seat and bowed: "First time meeting you, Mr. Irie, my name is Hoshino Suzu."

Irie Yuta frowned when he heard the soft voice, and his voice was stiff: "I remember you."

"Really, why are you scaring her?" Tao Zhiming smiled and squeezed her hand, "Ling, you will often deal with Xiongta in the future. Even though he looks like this now, he is actually a very interesting person."

"..."

Is ya pants za interesting?

Hoshino Suzu felt uneasy, why did she often deal with this man driving the car?

It turns out that Lord Tao took him out of the manor to give rewards to his subordinates?

But Master Tao is now hugging her again.

Sadness welled up in her heart. In the end, she would still be used as a tool, right?

At this moment, the car was driving on the seaside road, and it was dark outside.

The car turned a corner from time to time, and Hoshino Suzu didn't know where she was going.

You just couldn't help it, right? Why should you have unnecessary hopes because you left the manor?

Instead, her body and mind gradually relaxed, or in other words, her mind gradually became numb.

That’s it…

…

After following Tao Zhiming into the room and seeing him close the door, Hoshino Ling became nervous again.

There were only two people left in the room. Mr. Tao went to close the French door and the curtain beside the door, pulled his tie and said, "You know how to use the TV? Sit back and watch TV first."

After saying that, he headed towards the hot spring bathing room.

Hoshino Suzu's heart was pounding. How dare she just watch TV like this.

But she remembered her previous two words, "Get in the car," and she dared to turn on the TV obediently, then sat at the end of the bed.

On the table where the TV is placed is the box.

Hoshino Suzu didn't dare to move, didn't dare to pick up the box and run out of here.

Can't escape.

Master Tao's subordinate, Mr. Irie Xiong, before following Master Tao up the stairs, he stared at himself fiercely and unbuttoned his collar to reveal his tattoo.

That's a ya pants za!

After arriving in Master Tao's room, does Hoshino Ling know what will happen next?

She had no desire at all, but knew she couldn't refuse.

She had never experienced it before, so she was even more scared.

The sound of water inside kept coming, and Mr. Tao was even humming a tune inside.

Hoshino Suzu lowered her head and closed her eyes sadly.

We are all human beings, so why does happiness only belong to others?

After a while, her body and mind relaxed again.

So be it...it's better to live than to have no hope at all.

She knew very well that the sisters who were still alive today were the ones who did not have the courage to choose to die.

At least I don't have the courage now.

Hearing the bathroom door open, Hoshino Suzu stood up quickly and lowered her head.

In sight, Mr. Tao opened the door of the closet and came over for a while, only wrapped in a bath towel.

He said: "You didn't bring any clothes with you. After washing, just wear this to make do."

Tao Zhiming's hand is his own T-shirt.

Hoshino Suzu gritted her teeth, bent down and said: "As ordered..."

Then he took the clothes in his hands with both hands and walked over there.

The water vapor inside has not completely dispersed, and there is still some fragrance of toiletries accumulated.

Hoshino Suzu walked into the door, looked at the door, but didn't dare to close it.

She could only stay there, close her eyes, take a deep breath, and start preparing to take a bath.

In the mirror, I saw my pale face. The hairpin on my head and the kimono on my body gradually left, turning into a person without any defense.

Hoshino Suzu looked at her sad eyes in the mirror, finally lowered her head, and walked toward the hot spring pool built in the room with living water flowing without saying a word.

After a while, she calmed down again and wiped her body with some pity.

That’s it…

…

On the bed, Tao Zhiming had already laid down and opened the box.

What he is now curious about Hoshino Suzu is why Sumitomo can completely control her.

It's not like they're on some isolated island. Sumitomo clearly regards these girls as sacrifices and gives them to others.

After seeing the other things in the box, Tao Zhiming thought quietly for a while and gradually understood.

Inside, there is indeed a "work contract".

Lifetime employment is stipulated and salary is also stipulated.

However, these salaries were confirmed by their personal signatures and the way they were controlled.

Party A of the contract is actually blank.

Whoever signs here will be responsible for all Hoshino Suzu's daily needs.

Including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Tao Zhiming believes that Sumitomo has the strength to ensure the validity of the contract and is well prepared to respond in case anything happens.
