Haruno Haruka, who fell into Tao Zhiming's arms, was stunned for a moment, and then finally realized that her scarf had fallen to her heels.

The originally ceremonial atmosphere completely collapsed, and she was immediately in a panic.

After standing up, I went to pick up the scarlet hakama, but the white clothes and muscle ruffles were unraveled.

Tao Zhiming's eyes were filled with brilliance. He simply bent down and stretched out his hands, picked her up and walked towards the bed.

"Aren't you already enlightened?" Tao Zhiming said softly, "I was very surprised when you suddenly untied the lace..."

Haruno pursed her lips tightly, her face turned red as if she was holding back her breath, and her body was stiff.

Because Fei Hakama was just hooked on her ankle, Tao Zhiming's hand was now placed on the smooth curve of her leg.

Fortunately, after Tao Zhiming put her on the bed, he shook out the quilt and covered her with it. Haruno Haruka grabbed the quilt with both hands, sat up and covered herself until only her head was exposed.

He looked quite silly and cute, and he was clearly shaking a little. He asked tremblingly: "How come... you can't see clearly?"

Tao Zhiming put the small piece of wood in front of her eyes: "See for yourself?"

Haruno Haruka's eyes widened and he came closer, and then he was also dumbfounded: "How could it... become like this?"

"How many years has it been since you opened it?" Tao Zhiming looked at her meaningfully, "It will cause sweating and wear and tear..."

"...I remember the content! I read it, please identify it carefully!" Haruno Haruka said hurriedly.

Tao Zhiming tilted his head again and placed the small piece of wood in front of his eyes: "Say."

"...Haruka, live a healthy life, find a man who can help you, and protect the Haruno family's shrine! This shrine, Ema, fate."

On such a small piece of wood, the writing was probably carved with a needle and traced with vermilion paint. But after fifteen years, it is really blurry now.

But after Haruno Yao finished reciting, Tao Zhiming stared at the small piece of wood, and finally the few words that could be seen clearly matched what she said, including the approximate order and position of the words.

Tao Zhiming put down the wood piece, looked at her and asked in disbelief: "Did you wear it when you were three years old?"

Haruno Haruka nodded heavily: "Because I have always worn it close to my body, and my mother told me that even my father cannot see my... body. Therefore, no one else knows about the existence of this guardian."

"...You didn't open it until you were twelve years old?"

Haruno shook his head: "When I was eight years old, the original rope broke. At that time, I found a new bag and rope..."

"So you have kept this secret alone for ten years? Why don't you feel ecstasy? Keeping it will be extremely dangerous for you after all..."

Haruno looked at the small piece of wood in his hand quietly: "This is Yukyou Yushou. Even if it is discovered, out of respect for the rules of the gods, it cannot be opened. The words inside do not contain the secret. And...

…This was specially left by my mother for me. Although this guard records such a big secret, it also contains my mother’s intention to protect me and give me instructions..."

Tao Zhiming looked at the small piece of wood again, put it back into the small cloth bag, tied it again, and handed it to her.

A hand stretched out from the bottom edge of the quilt, then retracted it after taking it.

Tao Zhiming looked at her huddled in the quilt and asked softly: "The so-called secret should be the last six words, right? Your mother kept the secret in Emari next to the main store of Azuchi Castle Hachiman Shrine?"

Haruno Haruka shook his head: "On the wooden shelf next to the main hall where the ema is placed, the one with mother's handwriting is not on a certain ema, but on the wooden shelf. One section was hollowed out, and a cypress fan was placed in the middle."

After she finished speaking, she took out the fan with the bell that she had always held in her hand from the bed. It was made of bamboo ribs, and after unfolding, the fan ribs directly formed the fan surface. Now

Paintings have been drawn on it instead of being covered with paper.

Tao Zhiming took it over and looked at it, looking at her doubtfully: "Is there any special method needed to see the secret?"

"No...it turns out there is no such painting. I rubbed myself off and then painted it again."

"Did you paint it?" Tao Zhiming looked at her in surprise, "The painting... is very good."

"...As a miko, one's time can only be used to practice these things."

Tao Zhiming handed her the fan and then combed it.

In other words, Haruno Yueyi became the fate guard when her child was only three years old, and hid the clues in it in the name of wishing her daughter to find a good match in the future.

During this process, he also told her to wait until she was 12 years old before opening it, and asked her to wear it close to her body, trying not to let anyone discover it, including her father Haruno Takizo.

When Haruno Haruka was 8 years old, he saw the contents inside because the rope of the guardian was broken. Then he followed the clues to the wooden frame where the ema was placed next to the main hall of Azuchi Castle Hachiman Shrine and found the cypress fan.

The real secret was recorded on the fan bone. Haruno Haruka knew that it was something that could lead to death, so he erased the writing. Later, he drew a picture on the fan bone and kept it with him.

If you want to know what is written on it, you still have to listen to her.

Seeing Tao Zhiming meditating there, Haruno Yao said softly: "I wore this clothes to tell you that thing to make you believe. God, what I will say is all what my mother told me. And

There are... some things I have seen that I did not understand when I was very young, but I only understood them later..."

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, slowly opened the quilt wrapping her, and looked at him tenderly: "This is indeed the best place, let me... tell you everything!"

Her white clothes were loose and she was sitting upright on her knees. It was fake that she was not nervous, but she was more firm and determined.

Looking at Haruno's calm and pure eyes, Tao Zhiming felt that she seemed to regard this as a very sacred thing. This seemed to have little to do with male love and female love, as if it was just to express absolute trust in this way.

, used to talk about the most secret past events.

Quite absurd.

But, it's also quite exciting.

Tao Zhiming stared at her for a while, and then smiled casually.

Even if the reason for the first time was complicated, in the future it may just be fun.

Thinking of the time when she said something like a little girl and then fainted, Tao Zhiming didn't think it was some secret technique. He could only say that those things stimulated her soul too much.

Based on the information he investigated and what she said now, the probability that Horikawa Nobuhiko would have cultivated such a child so long ago to deal with certain people in the future is really low.

Now there are only two situations: either everything she said is true, then she is just a poor little person who has persisted in despair for so long; or she is a pawn used by Nobuhiko Horikawa to dig a hole for himself, then

How could she hurt herself?

Tao Zhiming really couldn't think of anything he could be used for.

Wealth? He didn't have to be moved by the Haruno family's shares or the influence of the Hachiman Shrine.

Reputation? How could he be someone bound by fame?

Health? Is there any kind of high technology that can hide poisons in the human body and control the time? You know, many plans have to be promoted by Tao Zhiming.

Tao Zhiming's eyes gradually softened. It was more likely that the first situation was still the case.

Then, she has truly become enlightened, betting her future on Tao Zhiming, and is ready to use everything in exchange for trust, including the fact that she fainted like last time after touching the secret, and was in a state of life and death.

So last time, she actually took a brave step?

He slowly sat in front of Haruno Haruka, stretched out his hand and touched her face: "Don't worry, don't think about it now. Wait a minute, when everything is over, I will hold you and I will tell you my story."

It’s up to you to confirm or supplement your guesses. You don’t need to tell them all, do you understand?”

Haruno Haruka's face was very hot, she pursed her lips and nodded.

Tao Zhiming looked at her, his eyes moving from her eyes to her small mouth that she always had a habit of puckering up, as well as the vague scenery hidden under the white clothes, and asked quietly: "No one has... seen this body?

"

"...Hmm." His voice was weak and inaudible, and his breath was messed up.

"Have you really decided...to believe me?"

"……Um."

Because his mouth was pursed, he could only hum through his nose.

Tao Zhiming felt that she couldn't always shut up like this, so he slowly moved closer.

When people feel gradually suffocated due to nervousness, excitement and difficulty breathing, they naturally cannot help but open their mouths and breathe out.

Later, Tao Zhiming finally gently opened the clothes that had lost their restraints and took a look at the secret that had been well hidden for fifteen years...

…

The speed of the plane is too fast.

When he arrived in Milan, Tao Zhiming felt that the journey seemed a bit too short.

I didn't sleep well, but I slept well.

Haruno Haruka's demeanor changed a bit. His expression no longer always had the coldness and coldness of others, but instead had a hint of relief and naivety.

Naturally, she put away her miko uniform again, and now she looks just like the more fashionable young oriental girls of this era.

When Teresa saw Haruno Haruka, she looked at Tao Zhiming with a smile that was unexpected but expected, and then said: "Let's take a good rest today and go to the dock for acceptance tomorrow. We have prepared a grand ship delivery ceremony.

.”

"Hasal arrived?"

"Prince Hassar won't arrive until late at night."

Tao Zhiming nodded and took Haruno Yao and Zhong Zhisen into the rented car here.

There's nothing wrong with taking a good rest today.

Tao Zhiming felt that he still had more to say, and also wanted to cure this poor, stupid little boy.

The real situation was even more outrageous and perverted than what Tao Zhiming had guessed.

There is no doubt that, coupled with Riko Fukaya's evidence, what Haruno Haruka said is almost certainly true.

Horikawa Takisanichi captured Haruno Yueyi's heart like a human being at first, but his real purpose was to gain the right to speak of Azuchi Castle Hachiman Shrine held by the Haruno family. Because after the relevant laws on religious corporations were enacted,

Many people began to have this idea.

At that time, the matter of Kobe Steel had just been settled, and Nobuhiko Horikawa, who had served as the secretary of Headori, had further expanded his ambitions. He took on this task because he wanted to contribute to these matters and lay a foundation for the future.

After Haruno Haruka was born, Horikawa Nobuhiko, who had a close relationship with Kijima Genichi, got in touch with Gekko Manor under the introduction of Kijima Genichi and arranged for his adopted brother Haruno Takizo to go to Gekko Manor to cause trouble.

For the sake of the many big shots in Moonlight Manor, these dog brothers thought that Haruno Yueyi was a very good tool.

So the scene is very similar. Haruno Takizo once again invited Horikawa Nobuhiko to a family banquet at the shrine, and got Haruno Yueyi drunk...

That incident happened when Haruno Haruka was two years old. How did she know?

Haruno Yuki also collapsed at first, but she believed the so-called "drunk lapse" and thought it was just this time.

Who knew that Nobuhiko Horikawa seemed to be addicted, and would always touch her at night, even in front of Haruno Haruka, who he thought was asleep.

Of course, Haruno Haruka was really asleep most of the time. Even if he saw something vaguely, his memory was actually blurred. This is probably the reason why Horikawa Nobuhiko's perverted mentality did not take these details to heart.

After all, he is only a two-year-old child.

The exquisite Yuki Haruno gradually realized that things were not simple, because Haruno Takizo and Horikawa Nobuhiko were obviously colluding together, and even later began to train her and let her do more excessive things. In the Hachiman Shrine

Receive important people who are helpful to their affairs.

The bloodline of Oda Nobunaga and the beautiful shrine maiden of the shrine are probably one of the reasons for the excitement, right?

Falling into this situation, Haruno Yueyi became stronger because she knew very well that without her existence, Haruno Haruka would have no idea what kind of fate she would encounter in the future.

Therefore, she tolerated it and accepted the situation. At the same time, she also deliberately left some secrets and evidence that might be helpful in the future.

Of course, she was also worried that something bad would happen to her, so she left the guard and the fan to Haruno Haruka.

Haruno Takizo and Horikawa Nobuhiko, who had succeeded many times, only thought that Haruno Yuki was extremely traditional, and regarded these things as a weak woman who did not dare to publicize her family scandal. This shows how much Haruno Yuki endured and how she hid it.

But such days are extremely bright for the spirit, especially when Haruno Haruka is more than 3 years old. In order to obtain concessions from the Fuji Foundation on certain matters, Horikawa Nobuhiko, through the introduction of Kijima Genichi, asked Kodama to

Shifu contributed to it and once again helped Marubeni, the general trading company of the Fuji Foundation, bribe the then Prime Minister. During the Lockheed incident, Haruno Yuki was forced to accompany Kodama Shifu and several others, and suffered great physical and mental injuries.

.

Despite this state, Haruno Yueyi endured it.

But when Haruno Haruka was 5 years old, the Lockheed incident was exposed.

Because at that time, Haruno Yuki only had to stick to the Hachiman Shrine in exchange, which delayed the progress of Horikawa Nobuhiko's integration into a religious legal person. And because she was worried that she would become a hidden danger in the future after being exposed to so many secret things, Haruno Yuki inexplicably became infected.

Got seriously ill.

Knowing that her time was running out, Yukii Haruno could only take the opportunity to ask Haruno Haruka, who was only 5 years old, in grief, and at the same time pass the shrine to Haruno Haruka.

This is a rule passed down by the shrine, and even Haruno Takizo cannot interfere with it.

Haruno Yueyi knew that this was the only way to ensure that Haruno Haruka would live to be an adult at least 20 years old.

Haruno Haruka, who was ignorant and ignorant until he was 8 years old, saw the contents of the amulet in advance because the rope accidentally broke. He found the fan and learned the truth. He also recalled that when he was two or three years old, he fell asleep at the shrine.

What I vaguely saw and heard.

Fortunately, at that time, Haruno Takizo was busy with matters related to Gekko Manor and for Horikawa Nobuhiko, who was about to take over as a special manager, so Haruno Haruka was given time to digest these things.

At this point, the mother and daughter seem to have a personality inheritance, and Haruno Haruno has kept that secret to this day.

Even after Haruno Takizo "committed suicide", Haruno Haruka took advantage of the situation and returned to Hachiman Shrine alone, pointing suspicion at Horikawa Nobuhiko.

Haruno Haruka is very smart at this point, knowing that Horikawa Nobuhiko still needs her.

Because after Haruno Yukii's death, Haruno Takizo, as the guardian, naturally helped Horikawa Nobuhiko integrate the Hachiman Shrine into a religious legal person.

According to Haruno Haruka, the shares held by the Haruno family at that time should be much more than those recorded in her name now. However, before Haruno Takizo "committed suicide", a lot of them were transferred and recorded in that Kijima

Under the name Yuan.

And when Haruno Takizo finally asked Haruno Haruka in front of Horikawa Nobuhiko, and Horikawa Nobuhiko would help take care of her, his expression clearly did not look like he was going to die.

Maybe it's just to hide and avoid the limelight.

But in the end, he "committed suicide" and left a suicide note confessing his guilt, taking the blame for everything.

It is very likely that it was written by Nobuhiko Horikawa.

So Haruno Takizo committed suicide five years ago, and Horikawa Nobuhiko subsequently became the executive director, and took over as president four years later.

Haruno Taki, the third old lackey, sacrificed his wife. Not only was the shrine’s meat cut off, but in the end, he was not even swallowed whole. Instead, he was killed and ate the meat.

Arriving at the best hotel near Azimut Yacht's newly built super-large dock, Tao Zhiming first dialed Ueno Yosuke on the satellite phone when he got to the suite.

"There are new clues." Tao Zhiming looked at Haruno Haruka who was standing there with his lips pursed, and said solemnly, "Before I come back, you only have to do one thing. I will call Nobuhiko Horikawa and say that I have

Accepting Haruno Haruka, about Hachiman who will work closely together

Shrine, since he has entrusted Haruka to me, what happened to the shares that the Haruno family transferred to Kijima Genichi? After I asked him such a question, you can use this as an excuse to ask him about Hachiman Shrine.

The true equity situation.”

"...There won't be any problem, right?"

"No!" Tao Zhiming said flatly, "Although we have entered the deep water area, I am afraid that this is Horikawa Nobuhiko's real purpose in handing Haruka over to me! If you accept her, you must accept the darkness caused by the Hachiman Shrine. He

I won’t tell you everything, but at least I will let you know the true shareholder status of Hachiman Shrine first. I’ll wait until I get back for the rest!”

"I see……"

Tao Zhiming hung up the phone, then looked at Haruno Haruka and smiled: "Don't worry, what you think is difficult is not complicated for me. Maybe Horikawa Nobuhiko is expecting this call from me."

Nobuhiko Horikawa must die, just committing suicide would be too easy for him.
