A large group gathered in front of the Tongshang Bank, demanding silver redemption. Da Ren finally brought good news: Chairman Sheng Xuanhuai had sent a telegram from Beijing. He had already contacted several Western banks such as HSBC and Citibank, and these banks would help Tongshang Bank through the crisis. If the bank’s cash reserves were insufficient, they could borrow from the Western banks.

The counterfeit currency wave in Shanghai was executed by Wu Tianbai in collaboration with the Japanese underworld group Black Tiger Society and Wanshan. However, Wanshan later violated the agreement, unilaterally printing and distributing the fake notes, making a fortune in the process. It wasn’t until this morning that Wanshan found out Xie Shuhong was living with Wu Tianbai. He asked Xie Shuhong to take the first share of the profits back to Wu Tianbai.

Wu Tianbai felt extremely proud of his counterfeit currency plan. Since Tongshang Bank was the only state-run bank under the Qing government, he believed that striking it was equivalent to striking the Qing government itself. However, he was furious with Wanshan’s actions, feeling as though his original idea had been plagiarized and stolen. Through analysis, it was determined that the domestic market was incapable of producing counterfeit bills of such quality.

The biggest beneficiary of the counterfeit currency wave was Japan, so it was certain that the culprits in Shanghai were Japanese. These fake bills were most likely from Toyo in Japan. With help from British staff at HSBC, the foreign settlement police quickly apprehended four Japanese ronin, who confessed that they had smuggled the counterfeit bills from Tokyo to Shanghai.

Subsequently, the police also seized a warehouse stocked with large amounts of counterfeit bills and firearms, which led them to trace the source back to Japan. When Wu Tianbai saw the news in the morning paper, he immediately dragged Xie Shuhong to move out. Madam Liang saw them leaving in a rush, unable to say a word, and her suspicions grew even deeper.

Not long after Wu Tianbai and Xie Shuhong left, Japanese soldiers came to the Matsubayashi residence to arrest someone. Finding no one, they confiscated all the items Wu Tianbai had left behind. Duke Ayakura intended to cultivate a Chinese military leader who would be friendly toward Japan, so his care for Liang Xiang far exceeded what a guardian should do. He even introduced many important figures to Liang Xiang. Duke Ayakura invited Mr. Cai Guangqi to attend a dinner party.

Liang Xiang took the initiative to greet Mr. Cai and asked about Xie Shuhong’s whereabouts. Wu Tianbai took Xie Shuhong and fled to Osaka, Japan, where they lived in poverty. Wu Tianbai traded his leather shoes for ten yen, but local thugs robbed him and beat him severely. Xie Shuhong came to his aid and drove the thugs away. She then found work at a tailor shop and began learning how to make clothes.

When Wu Tianbai heard the boss was an old man, he immediately suspected him of having bad intentions, just like last time, and flatly refused to let Xie Shuhong go learn tailoring. But Xie Shuhong made a reasonable argument, and since Wu Tianbai wasn’t unreasonable, he fell silent and quietly helped her repair the old sewing machine. Xie Shuhong started working at the tailor shop. Wu Tianbai was uneasy and secretly went to check on her several times.

That evening, Xie Shuhong returned home and told him that she had successfully helped the boss sell four sets of clothing. Yoshino, the shop owner, was pleased and officially hired her, even giving her a half-month salary in advance. Yoshino had started teaching her how to cut fabric and told her to replicate a piece exactly. Wu Tianbai, being skilled with his hands, helped her cut the fabric into all the necessary parts of the clothing in just one night. The boss was very impressed with her skills and praised her, saying she would be able to take on jobs independently in less than half a month.
