> A Love Never Lost Recap

Wu Tianbai greeted Song Baoquan and his wife with Xie Shuhong by his side. Xie Shuhong stood stiffly—she knew the concubine had recognized her, so much so that she didn’t dare lift her head when greeting them. Soon after, Song's concubine told Song Baoquan about Xie Shuhong's identity. The banquet was packed with people. Wu Tianbai tried to calm Xie Shuhong, telling her not to be nervous.

He had placed explosives in her bag, waiting for Prince Chun to appear so he could detonate it. But Prince Chun never showed—his former superior, the Governor of Jiangsu, appeared instead. Wu Tianbai told Xie Shuhong to go wait by the carriage, then went up to the Jiangsu Governor himself, striking up a conversation. He learned that Prince Chun looked down on such banquets and would not show up at all.

With nothing left to lose, Wu Tianbai, under the guise of a hug, strapped the explosive-laden bag to the Governor and pulled the safety pin. The area was instantly filled with thick smoke and chaos. Wu Tianbai escaped, got into the carriage, and took Xie Shuhong to the Sixteenth Wharf. What Wu Tianbai didn’t know was that the bomb he had meticulously prepared never went off.

Song’s concubine was stunned by what happened and realized Xie Shuhong had to be involved. Wu Tianbai and Xie Shuhong rushed to the wharf, where Yang Yifan, on behalf of General Manager Xu, brought them two ship tickets. Just as Yang Yifan had suspected, Xie Shuhong hadn’t left Shanghai but had instead gotten involved with Wu Tianbai again. At the moment, escaping was most important, so Yang Yifan urged Wu Tianbai to take good care of Xie Shuhong.

If Xie Shuhong encountered trouble in Tokyo, she could write to the address on the note. With tears in her eyes, Xie Shuhong looked just like a little sister who had done something wrong. Because of a single bed, Liang Xiang and Yang Kaizhi got into an argument. Li Renjun's arrival helped ease the tense atmosphere. Wu Tianbai believed what he was doing was to awaken the people.

Now that Xie Shuhong was on the ship, they had no choice but to share the same fate. Meals were provided on board. After settling in, the three of them went to the dining hall. Although the waiters were Japanese, they spoke fluent Chinese, which made the trio—struggling with broken Japanese—look quite foolish. At the dining hall, Liang Xiang noticed Xie Shuhong and gave her several glances.

Wu Tianbai was seasick, so Xie Shuhong went to the dining hall to fetch him some miso soup. Then he asked for bread. When Xie Shuhong went out to wash clothes, she happened to run into Yang Kaizhi, who had bread in his hand. She asked him a few questions, and Yang Kaizhi readily gave her the bread and even offered to deliver it to her room.

But when he entered and saw a man there, assuming it was Xie Shuhong’s husband, his face fell, completely crestfallen. Liang Xiang was unaware of Wu Tianbai’s presence. In the laundry room, he voluntarily helped Xie Shuhong with her clothes. After drying them, he brought them back to her room, where Wu Tianbai called him out. Wu Tianbai claimed to know Takagi Sakuzō, the principal of the Japanese Army Military Academy.

Although Liang Xiang had never heard of Takagi Sakuzō, he was immediately full of respect for Wu Tianbai’s knowledge. When Wu Tianbai asked for Liang Xiang’s name, he instantly realized Liang Xiang was a bannerman. The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward, and Liang Xiang quickly excused himself. He didn’t understand why people cared so much about his imperial background. Li Renjun said that the reason the nation had reached its current state was largely because of the imperial clan.

To avoid airing family scandals in public, Song Baoquan told his concubine that Xie Shuhong had nothing to do with the Song family and that this matter should never be mentioned again. After several days at sea, they arrived in Tokyo, Japan. Before disembarking, Wu Tianbai said something that made Xie Shuhong cry—so loudly that the military students in the hallway heard her. Because of this, after disembarking, Liang Xiang began to pay more attention to Xie Shuhong.
