Chapter 305 A Not So "Pleasant" Conversation
Natasha sat on the sofa and was silent for a while.

"I brewed the coffee myself. Try it. Does it still taste like the one in Khabarovsk?"

"Steven, my mind is in a mess right now. I really didn't expect to meet you and Martha here..."

"So, you have to calm down even more." Zhou Sen comforted, "Natasha, I know, you just came to Bingcheng because you were in trouble, right?"

"how do you know?"

"If I don't know this, how can I arrange a meeting with you here?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"you do this delibrately?"

"Yes, I actually knew that you came to Bingcheng, but due to your identity, I can't get in touch with you directly. I can only use this method to meet you here." Zhou Sen said, "I know, you are in Soviet Russia. Life in the consulate is not good, and some people are even ostracized and jealous, I want to help you, but I don’t know how to do it, so I can only use this method to see you first.”

"I don't need your help. My job at the consulate is pretty good." Natasha said, "My name is Cynthia now, and I hope you don't call me Natasha."

"Okay, I'll call you Cynthia from now on. My Chinese name in Bingcheng is Zhou Sen. I'm a special agent in the police department and I'm the chief staff member. I'm a handyman."

"You have been lurking in Khabarovsk for more than half a year and successfully rescued Morihou Ando, ​​not to mention how much information you have stolen. Such a meritorious person is actually just a handyman in the police department?" Natasha was puzzled.

"To protect me, and to keep a low profile, so that you don't get caught by your people, the work is easy, and you can get a high salary, what's wrong?" Zhou Sen chuckled.

"You are Chinese, why do you work for the Japanese?" Natasha asked.

"I am Manchurian, and I was an orphan since I was a child. I was adopted by a White Russian. Some backgrounds are beyond my choice..." Zhou Sen said.

"It's almost time, I should go, otherwise they will come looking for me..." Natasha got up suddenly and said.

"Then when will we see each other next time?" Zhou Sen didn't stop him, but got up together and asked.

"I don't know, you'd better not come to me, and we'd better not have any contact with each other," Natasha said.

"I'm afraid I can't do it." Zhou Sen shook his head.

"Steven, why did you do this? You've already hurt me once, and you want to hurt me a second time?" Natasha asked emotionally.

"Natasha, as I said, I can't choose. This is my job." Zhou Sen said, "If you hadn't come to Bingcheng, we might never meet again in this lifetime."

"Steven, I don't want to see you again!" Natasha walked towards the door angrily.

"Natasha..." Zhou Sen knew that if he couldn't make an appointment with Natasha next time, the mission would be considered a failure.

But with Yamamoto Toshi's character, he would not give up after one failure, so he would force himself to continue meeting Natasha again, and it was hard to say what method he would use.

"Natasha, don't do this. If you leave like this, you will be in danger." Zhou Sen stopped Natasha.

"Don't forget, I am a doctor at the Soviet Russian Consulate. If you force me to stay, the consulate will not ignore you."

"I know, I just hope you don't refuse to meet me again so soon." Zhou Sen said.

"You're going to kill me..."

"Natasha, I know that you were dispatched to Ice City because of me, but this is a chance for you to break out of the cage. You told me that your father's desire to control you It's too deep, he even wants to marry you to an ignorant dude?" Zhou Sen said "excitedly".

"It's none of your business, Steven."

"Natasha, I really want to help you. If you go back, I'm afraid you will never have a chance to break free from the cage of your fate."

Natasha opened the door and walked out without looking back.

Zhou Sen didn't catch up again. This kind of thing can't be done again. If he stops it again, it will be counterproductive. Of course, all of this is for Toshi Yamamoto behind the bug.

……

"Director Yamamoto, come here." After Natasha left, Zhou Sen returned to the sofa and sat down, and shouted at the lamp post.

After a while.

There was another knock on the door.

Zhou Sen went to open the door, and it turned out to be Toshi Yamamoto with makeup on. He looked like a university professor now.

Seeing Zhou Sen, he walked in directly.

Zhou Sen poured him a cup of coffee: "Director Yamamoto, try the coffee I made."

Toshi Yamamoto picked up the quilt, took a sip, put it down, and praised: "Mr. Zhou Senjun's coffee is really fragrant and mellow. It's so delicious. It's better than many coffees I've had."
"Director Yamamoto, you have heard that Natasha will not cooperate with us easily. He even hates me very much. Because of me, she was forced to change her name and surname, and was assigned to Bingcheng." Zhou Sen said.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Since she can come to see you, it means that she has feelings for you. I believe that with Zhou Senjun's ability, it will be a matter of time before this Natasha is taken down." Toshi Yamamoto smiled slightly, as if wanting to see through Zhou Senjun. Sen's heart at the moment.

"Director Yamamoto, I'm afraid she will avoid seeing her in the future, then we have nothing to do. She just needs to hide in the Soviet Russian consulate." Zhou Sen said.

"It depends on human effort. Now that you have met, she knows that you are in Bingcheng, so she will definitely come to you again." Toshi Yamamoto said firmly.

"Director Yamamoto is so sure?"

"Although Zhou Senjun is married, you still don't know much about women. I heard it through the earphones just now. This Natasha has feelings for Zhou Senjun. She should like you, but it was because Miss Anna pretended to be your wife in the past. Because of this, you didn’t go any further, am I right?” Toshi Yamamoto asked with a slight smile.

"Director Yamamoto, I didn't go to Khabarovsk just to make love." Zhou Sen said displeased.

"Zhou Senjun, you misunderstood. I didn't say that you are not doing your job properly, but, I can see that this Natasha is in love with you. We might as well start from this direction. If you can show your love, maybe she will completely Falling on us."

"I'm a married man, do you think I can still give her that kind of unrealistic hope?"

"For the sake of the task, I think it's okay for Zhou Senjun to make a little sacrifice. Besides, Boss Bai is also a sensible person. She should be able to understand everything you do." Toshi Yamamoto said solemnly.

"Director Yamamoto must know who my Yulan is. If I betray her, she may kill me directly," Zhou Sen said.

"Zhou Senjun, it shouldn't be difficult for you to subdue a woman like Boss Bai," Toshi Yamamoto said.

"Director Yamamoto, you are in a difficult situation."

"Zhou Senjun, everything you have now is given by the empire. For the sake of the empire, you are only asked to make some sacrifices. What's more, for you, hugging left and right, enjoying the blessings of everyone, how many people wish for it Come on!"

"Director Yamamoto, I'm not interested in Qiren's blessing." Zhou Sen said.

"Zhou Sen-jun, don't refuse in a hurry, this task has just begun." Toshi Yamamoto smiled strangely, stood up and said, "Zhou Sen-jun, I'll take my leave first, and the next step is up to you."

Looking at Toshi Yamamoto's departure, Zhou Sen's face was gloomy. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still unhappy. If Toshi Yamamoto interfered, things would slip out of control, and even lead to unexpected consequences.

……

Natasha returned to the social dance scene. Arman saw it, walked over, and asked in a low voice, "Cynthia, what's the matter with you, why is your face so bad, and you've been gone for so long?"

"Maybe it's because I'm not used to sashimi. My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Mr. Alman, can I go back to the consulate first?" Natasha asked.

"It's too unsafe for you to go back alone. I'll find someone to drive you." Alman said.

"No, Mr. Arman, I'm just an ordinary consulate doctor. If you show too much concern for me, it will cause trouble." Natasha said.

"Then you wait for a while. It's not broad daylight. You can't go back alone. You also know that if you go back alone and something happens on the road, even if I put pressure on the Japanese, it will be useless. It's not like this has never happened before," Arman said.

"Okay, I'll just sit for a while and wait for you to go back together." Natasha nodded and agreed.

……

Not long after Toshi Yamamoto left, Zhou Sen was packing up his room and preparing to leave, when suddenly there was another knock on the door, three soft and two hard.

It can't be that Natasha left and returned, it should be Anna who came over.

Zhou Sen went to open the door, and it was really Anna.

"Zhou Sen, let me tell you..." Zhou Sen quickly gestured to her, and then gave her a quick look. Anna immediately understood, "You think so about the coffee you made, and you don't want to leave me a cup?"

"Over there, the temperature is just right. After drinking, leave quickly." Zhou Sen pointed to the cup of coffee on the coffee table and said.

"Thank you." Anna walked over, picked up the coffee and took a sip, "Well, yes, your coffee making skills are getting better and better, you just made this coffee for Natasha to drink, what does she think? ?”

"Of course it's delicious."

"It's delicious. I think it's a quarrel. She must be full of resentment towards you." Anna said, "It's no wonder she doesn't hate you for hurting her so badly."

"I am also for the task, there is no way."

"Hey, in fact, I saw it in Khabarovsk. She likes you, but because I was your wife at that time, she didn't dare to express her feelings." Anna said.

"Drink your coffee. After the dance is over, we will see off the guests." Zhou Sen said, "Don't forget that we still have things to do."

"Yes, I forgot. I have to take your car back later, otherwise, I will follow you back to the Ningxiang Pavilion. It's very good there, and I don't have to worry about food and lodging!"

"Good idea, I'll take you home in a while!"
