Xie Shuhong completed the loan application, but the bank clerk said there was a problem with her guarantor. Just then, a foreign manager passed by. Xie Shuhong asked him about it and learned that Shimoda Utako could serve as her guarantor. As the principal of the Practical Women’s School, she was a reputable figure. With Shimoda Utako’s guarantee, Xie Shuhong successfully secured a \$1,500 loan from Citibank. She brought the money home, and Wu Tianbai was overjoyed.

Xie Shuhong planned to use the money to recoup their losses. She noticed that cured meats like sausages were in high demand on the market, with the military purchasing them in bulk. She took the money to the countryside to buy large quantities and then sold them to the military. Hirata Ichiro used the morning exercise session as a chance to bid farewell to all the military students—he was about to head to the battlefield.

That evening, he spent some leisure time at an entertainment venue and invited only Liang Xiang to join him. When Liang Xiang saw him flirting with many women, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Miss Yoshiko of the Ayakura family. The military cadet graduation ceremony was approaching. When everyone learned the date in the cafeteria, they clapped and cheered—it meant the end of their military academy life was near.

Hirata Ichiro wrote a letter from Lushun, which one of the cadets read aloud to the group. Yang Yifan showed Wu Tianbai the photos of the cadets he was currently contacting and those he had already drawn in. Wu Tianbai emphasized that those already contacted must be kept completely confidential to ensure control over military power upon returning to China. Yang Yifan agreed.

The next day, representatives of Zhang Zhidong and Duan Fang were hosting a reception in Tokyo to recruit these talents. Yang Yifan told Wu Tianbai to attend and asked Xie Shuhong to accompany him. Xie Shuhong had become quite formidable—she was now doing business with the Japanese military supply department. First, she exchanged U. S.

dollars for yen, then converted yen into military scrip, then used that to obtain surplus military supplies from the military department, and finally resold those supplies on the civilian market. In less than three months, she patched up the financial hole left by the Q purchase and even made a solid profit. At the reception, Xie Shuhong chatted with Liang Xiang. Wu Tianbai grew jealous, upset that Xie Shuhong didn’t tell Liang Xiang that he was her man.

Li Renjun could see that Liang Xiang liked Xie Shuhong. Judging from Xie Shuhong’s tone and expression when she spoke to Liang Xiang, Li Renjun was sure she liked him too. Whether or not Li Renjun’s guess was right, Liang Xiang felt happy when he heard it. Beile Zai Zhen, while attending the reception, told Liang Xiang that he would return directly to Beijing, where the Empress Dowager would decide his future.

Therefore, Liang Xiang didn’t need to look for new connections at the reception like the other cadets. Li Renjun’s words lingered in Liang Xiang’s mind, and he wanted to consult Yang Kaizhi on how to interact with women. But Yang Kaizhi wouldn’t tell him. That night, unable to suppress his emotions, Liang Xiang ran to Xie Shuhong’s shop.

He drank the entire bottle of liquor in his hand and smashed it on the ground with a “crack,” then walked into the shop with a do-or-die resolve and forcibly had his way with Xie Shuhong. Upstairs, Wu Tianbai was awakened by the noise. He witnessed the scene but did nothing to stop it. When Liang Xiang returned to the dormitory, he realized that something from his neck was missing—likely left behind at Xie Shuhong’s shop.

Xie Shuhong didn’t see herself as any man’s plaything, yet she had been bullied by men like Wu Tianbai and Liang Xiang, who appeared to be gentlemen. Wu Tianbai, her first man, had become disabled. For the sake of the revolution, he didn’t dare lay a hand on Liang Xiang, a nobleman of the Qing court. The most pitiable person was, in fact, Xie Shuhong.
