Starting from the evening, the northwest wind became stronger and stronger, and the temperature became lower and lower.
The mobile group had dinner together and returned to the guest room in twos and threes.
It was already past 18:50.
When Xiaoru and Chunping changed into cheongsam, Xiaoru told Chunping not to forget to put on her coat.
Xiaoru's outfit tonight was very special. She first put on a pair of stockings that reached her thighs, then stuck a pocket pistol inside the socks for testing, and finally put on a cheongsam and tights.
Chunping said: "Sister Ru, since this morning, I have been thinking about what to do if Miyamoto does not go to the ballroom and invites you to the room directly."
When Xiaoru heard this, she shuddered: "Yes, why didn't I think of this?"
Chunping continued: "If you are really taken advantage of by a fool, even if you kill a hundred Miyamotos, I think it is meaningless."
Xiao Ru's face turned slightly red, but she sneered and said, "Don't worry, Sister Ping, it's not that easy to take advantage of Sister Ru. Ru Han didn't grow up on a vegetarian diet,"
Chunping asked: "Then tell me how to deal with it when the time comes."
Xiaoru said: "Look at your watch, the power will be cut off within ten minutes."
Chunping nodded deeply: "Sister Ru, as long as there is a plan, Chunping promises to make it happen."
After dressing up, Xiaoru and Chunping started to pack up the extra clothes and supplies one by one and sent them to room 303.
In guest room 303, don't move and the second group is all here.
According to the plan, the second group of Don't Move arrived at the scheduled location at 7:30, and the dance started at 8 o'clock.
When sending Xiaoru and Chunping off, Shanzi behaved in a very rare way. He shook hands with the two girls one by one. Although he didn't say anything, his solemn expression was enough to let people feel his mood at this time.
In about a quarter of an hour, the rickshaw arrived at the street in front of Ronghua Hotel. Suddenly, the scene in front of them shocked the two girls.
On ordinary days, the street in front of the hotel is a lively night market, with people coming and going, and various stalls selling food close to each other. However, at this time, it was empty and deserted.
Looking next to the door of the hotel, four Japanese soldiers stood erect with loaded guns.
Although the atmosphere was terrifying, Xiaoru and Chunping couldn't help but smile with relief on their faces.
As soon as the rickshaw turned towards the hotel, the four Japs raised their guns and ordered the car to stop and return.
Xiaoru and Chunping didn't rush. After getting off the bus, they paid the fare and went straight to the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers read the letter of introduction, searched the bag again, and then waved to let him go.
After entering the foyer, Xiaoru and Chunping discovered at the same time that there was no gatekeeper beside the ballroom door, replaced by two fully armed Japanese soldiers.
Other than that, there was no one in the lobby, and even the front desk was empty.
The dance hall manager stood in front of the door and bowed deeply to Xiaoru. He waved his right hand and said with a smile, "Please come in."
Xiaoru nodded and opened the light red wooden door.
At this time, I looked at the ballroom. All the boxes were numbered and the long tables were filled with drinks, tea, fruits and food. Except for the dancers, bands and waiters, there were no strange faces in the ballroom.
Sitting down from a fixed position in the waiting area, the dancer in red next to her was holding a round mirror and applying cream to her two originally bright red lips.
Seeing Xiaoru sitting down, Hongyiwu turned around and asked: "Mei Ru, you should know what the occasion is tonight, right?"
Xiao Ru smiled modestly: "How can I? I don't know anything."
The dancer in red put away her lipstick and babbled angrily: "Really, why are you pretending to be a green onion with your sisters? Now that you are the number one in Tulip, I don't believe the general manager didn't tell you,"
Xiaoru asked: "I didn't tell you either,"
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Ru asked this question, the dancer in red suddenly became arrogant and overbearing: "Miss Ru, you don't need to condescend. I have been wandering around the world for many years. Just by looking at this formation tonight, I can tell that there will be something wrong when I look back." When high-ranking officials and dignitaries visit Tulip, this is a good opportunity for your gambling to become popular,"
Xiaoru remained calm and looked calm and composed.
Putting down her handbag, the red-dressed dancer's face brightened: "Mei Ru, most high-ranking officials and dignitaries are all pangolins. Their kung fu is really powerful. After one night, you will be unable to get out of bed for three days. You should be more careful."
Xiaoru was neither shy nor ashamed, and continued: "This lady is a tigress, more powerful than a pangolin leopard. With one move, he will be unable to return Yang for the rest of his life."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the dancer in red burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she fell back and forth.

The Tulip Ballroom broke the rules and opened on time.
It was not until 8:35 that the door finally opened. Sakata and the ballroom manager were the first to rush into the ballroom. They stood on both sides with six waiters and lined the aisle to welcome the Japanese government condolences delegation.
A middle-aged Japanese officer and a man over fifty years old walked side by side in front, leading more than thirty men and women to file into the ballroom. Tahara and Jiang Yueying walked at the back.
After everyone took their seats according to the prearranged numbers, Sakata personally rushed to Xiaoru and Chunping and invited them to box No. 1 on the south side of the dance floor.
Box No. 1 is located in the middle, and continues from there to both sides. The east side is even-numbered, and the west side is odd-numbered. Jiang Yueying and Tianyuan are seated in box No. 3.
After Sakata introduced him, this Japanese officer was the commander of the Miyamoto division, and the other was the leader of the condolence group, named Mr. Kato.
After a few words of pleasantries, Xiaoru took a seat on Miyamoto's side and Chunping sat on Kato's side.
With the arrangements in place, Sakata stepped onto the band stage and announced the start of the dance.
Suddenly, the lights in the ballroom were dim and the dance music was ups and downs. Each dancer, at the invitation of the dancers, entered the dance floor hand in hand.
At this time, we looked at Miyamoto and Kato. The two top figures remained where they were, toasting to Xiaoru and Chunping frequently and chatting.
Just one song, then another, Xiaoru took the initiative to invite Miyamoto to the dance floor.
In order to divert attention, Jiang Yueying held hands with Tian Yuan and followed Miyamoto onto the dance floor.
However, when Kato invited Chunping to dance, Chunping was full of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kato, but my daughter has a problem. She gets very dizzy after drinking. She needs to go outside to get some fresh air. How about the next song?"
Kato said: "That's fine, I hope I can accompany Miss Wang for a walk."
Worried about being stalked by the gatekeeper, Chunping smiled softly: "Thank you, Mr. Kato, for taking care of me."
After saying that, Chunping walked out of the box leisurely, followed step by step by Kato.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped out of the ballroom threshold, two doormen stretched out their arms to block Chunping's way.
Chunping looked back at Kato, who chirped in Japanese, which in Chinese meant: "Please don't be rude and let Miss Wang go out."
Hearing his voice, the guard retracted his arms and stood as stiff as a gun barrel.
Turning left from the door of the ballroom to the north, Chunping said as she walked: "It's too noisy downstairs, why don't you go upstairs for a walk?"
As soon as Chunping's words came out, Kato was playing right into Kato's hands. Kato rolled his eyes and then said: "If you don't mind, Miss Wang, please come and sit in the humble office room. I wonder if you can give her a favor."
Chunping half-hidden her face and accepted Kato's kindness with a shy smile.
Walking along the north corridor to the third floor, I saw two Japanese soldiers standing at the entrance of the corridor. When they saw Kato and Chunping approaching, they both stood at attention and saluted.
Not far after passing the sentry, Chunping suddenly stopped and said, "Mr. Kato, please wait a moment while I go back to the ballroom to get some perfume."
As soon as he heard that he was going back to the ballroom to get perfume, Kato couldn't help but feel elated and told Chunping to go back quickly.
