above the point of the knife

Chapter 342 Dedication
Zhou Sen was just an inconspicuous little person. He came to the Modern Hotel early, found a relatively remote corner, and ordered a glass of champagne.

Observe these coming and going guests.

He doesn't know many people, and his sense of presence is also very low. Even when other people's eyes glance at him, they go directly there.

Apparently neither saw him as a character.

A Russian band is playing a soothing tune with great effort, bringing out the atmosphere.

Generally, at dance parties, drinks, pastries, fruits and other food will be provided. The Keshilin cake at the Modern Hotel is good, but you can’t eat too much, as it is easy to digest.

Zhou Sen has a standard Chinese stomach, and he has an instinctive rejection of cream and sweets, so it doesn't hurt to eat a little once in a while.

If you want a full house of children and grandchildren, eat less salt and sugar.

"Sir, can I change a glass for you?" Anna, who was wearing a small dark red suit, a short skirt with hips, and a bow at the neckline, twisted her waist and walked over, took a glass of champagne from the tray, and poured Zhou Sen After drinking that cup, take the road.

"You're wearing this suit to sneak in tonight, isn't there a purpose?"

"you guess."

"It's not easy for a man to appear here. Be careful not to capsize." Zhou Sen picked up the champagne and took a sip.

"You're not interested, why can't people find comfort from others?" Anna rolled Zhou Sen's eyes. The two of them were talking in Russian. Even if someone passed by, as long as they didn't know Russian, they wouldn't be able to understand.

"I'm a family man."

"Then you still come to tease Natasha, don't tell me, you are not interested in her at all?" Anna gave a contemptuous look.

"I did it for the mission!"

"That's because you found an excuse to feel at ease." Anna said.

"Then I'm leaving now?" Zhou Sen made a gesture to get up and leave.

"No, if you let that little winter melon in Yamamoto know, I won't be able to eat it and walk around. At worst, I'll keep it a secret for you." Anna hurriedly said, picking up the wine glass that Zhou Sen drank just now, there was still a sip of champagne left in it, and drank it directly into the mouth.

"That's what I drank, and you are a waiter, this is my violation of professional regulations!" Zhou Sen glared at her.

"I'm not real. Besides, we've lived together for more than half a year. You drink from your cup, eat from your bowl, and I've washed your underwear. What's the matter?" Anna said, "Bai The boss's slender hands are probably not willing to wash and cook for you, right?"

"You..." Zhou Sen was helpless. It was true that Bai Yulan was not in the sun at home, but that didn't mean she couldn't.

His underwear and socks are all washed by himself, and he does not use others, but the clothes other than that used to be Irina, but now it is Aunt Chun.

"Tell me about your business, don't forget."

"Don't worry, I promise to help you lure people over tonight." Anna nodded and left with an empty wine glass and tray.

If she stayed too long, someone would find out.

The time was almost up, and the important guests came one after another. Zhou Sen saw Natasha, she passed on a moon-white low-cut long dress, her hair was coiled on her head, she simply combed her hair, pearl earrings, A fancy silver brooch.

She didn't come alone, and the Soviet Russian consulate couldn't let her come alone. Of course, Arman would not attend such an event.

Accompanying Natasha was Major Igor, the military attache of the Soviet Russian Consulate General in Ice City. He came here as Natasha's male companion, and secondly, he was there to protect her at any time.

In addition, there are two Soviet Russian soldiers.

This Major Igor is one of Natasha's suitors. He was selected to accompany her to the ball tonight, and he worked so hard to get it, so he is now in high spirits.

I believe that after tonight, the relationship between him and Natasha will heat up greatly, and then he will be successfully upgraded from a flower protector to a boyfriend.

He has planned everything. After tonight, he will confess his love to Natasha, and then ask her out for an outing, on a date...

Therefore, he will not leave Natasha an inch tonight until he leaves with her.

As soon as Natasha came in, she noticed Zhou Sen in the corner, but her eyes just swept away without staying.

The waiter brought the drinks, but Natasha just reached for a glass of juice.

Instead, Igor reached out for a glass of brandy, then touched Natasha's arm courteously, asking her to find a place to sit and rest.

When people came, Zhou Sen didn't pay attention.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people surrounded this middle-aged man who seemed to be in good spirits. The little Rendanhu under his nose could be seen as Japanese.

Coming in parallel is the mayor of Bingcheng City, Mayor Feng. This Zhou Sen has met, knows, and even met him. However, he knows others, and they may not know him.

On such an occasion, he, a little policeman, is not qualified to come forward, so he can only stand behind the crowd and watch silently.

Although Kangli Hiramatsu is the director of the Ministry of Health in charge of epidemic prevention and has a high position and authority, he doesn't like others to call him an official position, and those who like him directly call him "doctor".

Therefore, on the welcome slogan tonight, it is also written that "Dr. Hiramatsu Kangli and his party" came to Bingcheng to guide the work.

"Dr. Pinsong, this beautiful lady is the hero who discovered the first case of the 'plague' virus, Miss Cynthia."

When Conli Hiramatsu saw Natasha, his eyes straightened instantly. Natasha's beauty is absolutely irresistible to men.

Whether it is Eastern aesthetics or Western aesthetics, she is a first-class existence of a big beauty.

"Miss Cynthia, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Conli Pinsong reached out, grabbed Natasha's right wrist, bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand.

This is the hand kiss in the West.

But this is in Ice City, even if kissing hands is a common thing in the West, it is absolutely inappropriate for Hiramatsu Kangli to do so in such a large crowd.

As the flower protector, Igor showed a hint of anger, but the other party didn't seem to make any excessive moves, and he didn't like to get angry.

Natasha was also confused by this Hiramatsu Kangli's actions. She showed a hint of displeasure, but immediately restrained herself, and quickly withdrew her right hand. If she wasn't afraid of being rude, she would have gone to the bathroom to wash her hands on the spot.

It is said to be a study group, but it is actually here to eat, drink and have fun. Of course, it also has the meaning of showing that the city government of Bingcheng manages the place well.

Anyway, it's just a political show, and then by the way, I will spend some public money, find an excuse to apportion it, and get some benefits.

Some people are willing to spend money in order to have a relationship with the Japanese, and this is clearly marked.

I'm afraid a small half of those who attended the ball tonight were bought with money. This kind of event is basically open to the public.

Of course, the cooperation of the Japanese is also required, and there will be benefits afterwards.

So, both Su Wenqing and Qin Xiong came, but these two people didn't need to spend money to buy seats, they came to support the scene.

People may not come to see you, a director of the Ministry of Health, they all have backers, so it doesn't matter if they don't come.

Mayor Feng and Dr. Pingsong made short speeches respectively, and then it was a night of carnival and networking.

Banquets and dances in the upper class are actually vanity fairs, opportunities to network and socialize. If it's not for meeting people you don't know and expanding your network, if it's just for hunting and sex, who would want to come to such a formal dance?
Of course, beauties are indispensable for such a dance party, and the organizer is also intentional, inviting many noble daughters and beauties to come.

This alcohol, music and perfume that stimulate hormones are mixed, and the next situation can be imagined.

Under normal circumstances, men invite women to dance. As long as Zhou Sen doesn't take the initiative to invite others to dance, it's fine for him to be a quiet spectator.

But tonight, the most dazzling woman was Natasha, and many men rushed to invite her to dance.

As the flower protector, Igor couldn't stop it at all.

Of course, Natasha will not accept everyone's invitation. She can't refuse Hiramatsu Kangli's invitation. If she doesn't want to come, just don't come. If she comes, she will naturally understand the situation she is about to face.

Mayor Feng's invitation could not be refused, at least, she got the status of honorary citizen of Bingcheng from Mayor Feng.

As for the others, she is actually not very willing.

"Hurry up and get rid of the siege. If this continues, your Natasha may not be able to handle it." Anna came to Zhou Sen again, put down a glass of brandy, and took away the champagne in his hand.

"She asked you to come?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Use her to say, you will dance with her later and leave directly through the small door in the southwest corner." Anna said.

"Ok?"

"Didn't you see that Igor never leaves Natasha at every step? Do you still have a chance for his brown candy?" Anna explained.

Zhou Sen is not a fool. From the moment he came in, he noticed that Igor looked at Natasha differently.

It was a strong possessiveness.

As long as there is no one around Natasha, Igor will post it, almost without giving anyone a break. If he wants to meet and talk with Natasha alone, it is impossible not to lure this guy away.

This guy is just the military attache of the consulate, who was ordered to protect Natasha, and the secrets he knows are limited.

"I see, cooperate with me later." Zhou Sen nodded, he went to dance with Natasha, and Anna helped him stop Igor a little, so that he would not have a chance to get close to Natasha again.

A dance is over.

Natasha's ankle was a little sore from jumping, she wanted to get down and have a rest, and she didn't want to agree to anyone's invitation next.

The inviter let go of Natasha reluctantly, and watched her walk out of the dance floor.

Holding a wine glass, Zhou Sen approached the dance floor quietly. Seeing Natasha walking towards the outside of the dance floor, he quickly cut around the dance floor and walked over.

Igor also saw Natasha, and he was already getting up to welcome the goddess in his mind back.

Suddenly a black figure flashed past his eyes, and when he looked again, Natasha, who was originally coming towards him, had disappeared.

"Sir, what do you want to drink?" Anna stepped forward quickly, holding a tray in front of Igor who was looking around.

"Please let me see, you are blocking my view." Igor scolded in a rather unfriendly tone.

"I'm sorry..." Anna quickly lowered her head to apologize, but she got stuck in the position where Igor was about to chase.

"You..." Igor was very angry, but he couldn't lose his temper with a waiter, who might not know anything.

"Step aside!"

"Okay, sir." Anna saw a white figure flashing past the small door out of the corner of her eye. He immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake, and took a step back.

Igor hurriedly chased after him, but when he rushed to the center of the dance floor, the next song started, and all kinds of people began to gather in the center of the dance floor.

Looking up and looking around, Natasha can still be seen there.

Major Igor was very angry, and Natasha was taken away right under his nose, which made him go back and explain to the Deputy Consul General Alman.

This is going to be a big deal.

Igor searched around the dance floor, but didn't find Natasha. His forehead was sweating in a hurry. If he lost Natasha tonight, he would not only have to bear a punishment when he went back.

Just when Igor was looking for someone anxiously, like ants on a hot pot, Zhou Sen had already changed Natasha into a set of clothes, and then led her directly into the room opened in the name of Anna.

"Natasha, did Arman tell you something?" Zhou Sen used Morse code to ask Natasha about the situation as soon as he entered the door.

Natasha stared at Zhou Sen without responding for several seconds.

"Natasha, none of us should make such a sacrifice, especially you, give me time, and I will think of a better way."

"Can you think of a more convincing reason than that?"

"Maybe your life is in danger and you have to ask us for help?" Zhou Sen quickly gestured, their communication was silent, he didn't need to check this room, it must have been bugged by Toshiro Yamamoto.

Toshi Yamamoto could hear the movements in the room clearly now.

"But I'm not in danger now."

"General Peshkov can arrange for you to be called back."

"My task is to lure you and instigate you. This traitor already knows about it and has passed all the information on to the Japanese."

Zhou Sen suddenly felt a little charming, and this feeling made him feel a little bit bad. He and Natasha spent many times alone together, but he never felt that way.

This kind of reminded him of the fragments of his memory before he woke up when he just came to this era.

hot, dry and hot...

Something's wrong, I didn't drink any food or drink that was handed to him, how could I feel this way?
The temperature is right now, and he hasn't exercised much, so why does he feel hot all over?

It's Anna.

Anna drugged his brandy, which must have been instructed by Toshi Yamamoto, this bastard, Zhou Sen's eyes suddenly turned red.

And Natasha's pink and smooth pretty face was right in front of him, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand, about to touch it.

But reason tells him that he can't do it, he has a bottom line principle.

"Natasha, don't come near me, I've been drugged..." Zhou Sen took a step back, his neck was red, and he shook his head desperately at her
At this time, Natasha flashed a decisiveness in her eyes. She unbuttoned her chest and front coat, closed her eyes, stepped forward and hugged Zhou Sen, and murmured: "Steven, I know you are Like me, I don't care that you are married, tonight, I just want to belong to you alone."
