Arsenal Military Academy Episode 25 Recap
> Arsenal Military Academy Recap
Guo Shuting called Xie Xiang over and asked her to be Qu Manting's personal bodyguard, protecting her safety 24 hours a day. Xie Xiang adamantly disagreed, using the excuse that her physical fitness assessment was unqualified and she was worried about not graduating. Guo Shuting promised that if she completed this mission, she would be considered qualified. Xie Xiang was stunned, not expecting that the always strict Guo Shuting would abandon his principles for Qu Manting.
Instructor Lü Zhongxin burst in and objected. Guo Shuting quickly introduced that Qu Manting was Qu Huaishu's eldest daughter. Instructor Lü Zhongxin's attitude immediately changed drastically. He insisted on finding people from the Police Department to cooperate in investigating the villain tracking Qu Manting. Guo Shuting even wanted to treat capturing the real culprit as a military exercise. Qu Manting was flattered, feeling it was too much of a fuss, saying that having Xie Xiang protect her was enough.
Instructor Lü Zhongxin no longer insisted either, and before leaving, he gave Xie Xiang many instructions. Qu Manting mistakenly thought this was due to her own charm and agreed to pick up Xie Xiang tomorrow. It turned out that Qu Manting was the posthumous child of Pei Nianqing, which is why Instructor Lü Zhongxin and the others cherished her so much. Shen Junshan repeatedly pondered Gu Yanzhen's words, suspecting that Xie Xiang was disguised as a man.
He went out to fetch water and ran into Xie Xiang head-on. He felt very awkward and quickly found an excuse to leave. Xie Xiang was puzzled. Gu Yanzhen, hiding to the side, saw everything clearly and was secretly delighted. Xie Xiang asked Gu Yanzhen to be Qu Manting's bodyguard, but Gu Yanzhen flatly refused. Qu Manting came to Shannan Tavern to find Xiao Tao and inadvertently heard about Oda Hiroshi sending a coffin to the Grand Princess Consort.
Oda Hiroshi came to see Shen Junshan. Shen Junshan straightforwardly asked her if she had any business dealings with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and reminded her to be careful in the future. Qu Manting came to pick up Xie Xiang and happened to see Oda Hiroshi coming to find Shen Junshan. She couldn't help but recall the thrilling scene at Prince Rong's Mansion. Those Japanese samurai repeatedly said their leader was Oda Hiroshi.
Qu Manting recounted everything about Oda Hiroshi sending the coffin to the Grand Princess Consort to Xie Xiang. Xie Xiang wanted to tell Shen Junshan about this, but Qu Manting didn't want to stir up trouble, much less offend the Japanese. She forcibly dragged Xie Xiang away. Oda Hiroshi, hiding to the side, heard everything clearly. She sent Fujiwara to secretly follow Qu Manting and Xie Xiang. Qu Manting took Xie Xiang to the stables.
The socialites of Shunyuan all liked to ride horses here. Qu Manting told Xie Xiang to casually pick one to be her girlfriend. Xie Xiang found it utterly absurd but didn't dare say openly that she was also a woman. Qu Manting warned Xie Xiang not to compete with her for Gu Yanzhen. Xie Xiang could only brace herself and go to the stables. Qu Manting enthusiastically introduced Zhao Qianqian to Xie Xiang.
Gu Qiqi's horse suddenly lost control and galloped wildly, about to throw her off. Xie Xiang intervened in time to stop the horse and saved Gu Qiqi. Gu Qiqi fell in love with Xie Xiang at first sight and laughingly called Qu Manting her rumored sister-in-law. Zhao Qianqian quickly came over and introduced Gu Qiqi as Gu Yanzhen's sister and also her cousin.
When Qu Manting heard that Gu Qiqi was Gu Yanzhen's sister, she enthusiastically pulled her to her side. Gu Qiqi suddenly remembered that she had met Xie Xiang once when she trespassed into the Arsenal Military Academy. Xie Xiang and Shen Junshan had injured Li Wenzhong to save her. Because they had agreed to keep this matter a secret, Gu Qiqi did not mention it publicly.
Instead, she privately inquired if Li Wenzhong had not been beaten to death and felt it was a pity. When Gu Qiqi heard that Xie Xiang was here for a blind date, she actively expressed her feelings to her, repeatedly calling Xie Xiang her fated destiny. Xie Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fujiwara secretly hid to the side and aimed at Qu Manting, but instead shot a maid at the stables.
Xie Xiang immediately drew her gun and returned fire. The stable guards arrived in time and rescued Qu Manting, Gu Qiqi, and others. Seeing this, Fujiwara had no choice but to lead his team away. Xie Xiang recognized Fujiwara as one of Oda Hiroshi's subordinates who had previously attempted to assassinate Shen Junshan. Qu Manting drove Xie Xiang back to the military academy. Shen Junshan, Ji Jin, and Gu Yanzhen went out for drinks together.
The adventurous influencer Oda Hiroshi rushed over and picked up Shen Junshan. Just as Gu Yanzhen was about to return to school, Qu Manting arrived by car. As soon as she got out, she hugged Gu Yanzhen tightly and wouldn't let go. Xie Xiang was eager to inquire about Shen Junshan's situation. Learning that he had been picked up by Oda Hiroshi, Xie Xiang immediately drove Qu Manting's car to chase after him.
Oda Hiroshi took Shen Junshan to the entrance of Prince Rong's Mansion, actively admitted her mistakes to him, and revealed her life story. She admitted that she was a Japanese who grew up in China. The Prince brought her and her mother into the mansion. The Grand Princess Consort suspected that the Prince was having an affair with Oda Hiroshi's mother and made things difficult for them in every way. Her mother died of illness.
Oda Hiroshi hated the Grand Princess Consort deeply. Shen Junshan guessed that the incident at Prince Rong's Mansion's birthday banquet was her doing. Oda Hiroshi admitted that she had deceived Shen Junshan because of her inferiority complex. Shen Junshan felt she wasn't wrong. Oda Hiroshi took the opportunity to fall into his arms and cried bitterly. Xie Xiang chased after them to the entrance of Prince Rong's Mansion and witnessed Oda Hiroshi and Shen Junshan talking in the car.
Oda Hiroshi sent Shen Junshan back to the military academy. Xie Xiang quickly caught up with Shen Junshan and explained the matter at Prince Rong's Mansion to him. Shen Junshan was convinced that Oda Hiroshi was eager for revenge. Xie Xiang repeatedly stated that Oda Hiroshi was inseparable from the Japanese, but Shen Junshan firmly believed in her character.
Oda Hiroshi saw Shen Junshan leave and immediately caught up with Xie Xiang, warning her not to waste her efforts, certain that Shen Junshan believed her. Xie Xiang vowed to catch Oda Hiroshi red-handed, but she was completely indifferent. Xie Xiang came to Shannan Tavern to find Tan Xiaojun. Someone secretly dropped a pill into the wine glass in front of Xie Xiang.
Xie Xiang accidentally saw Guo Shuting drinking with Qu Manting and, in a fit of pique, threatened to report Guo Shuting for abusing his power. Just as Xie Xiang was about to drink the glass in front of her, Tan Xiaojun quickly stopped her. A drunk customer snatched the glass and drank it all in one gulp, immediately collapsing on the counter.
Guo Shuting showed great concern for Qu Manting, and the two raised their glasses and drank heartily, becoming happier the more they talked. Xie Xiang couldn't help but complain to Tan Xiaojun, grumbling about Shen Junshan blindly believing Oda Hiroshi. Xie Xiang suddenly discovered someone aiming at Qu Manting. She immediately shouted a warning. Guo Shuting risked his life to shield Qu Manting and was unfortunately injured by the assailant. Huo Xiaoyu quickly called the police.
The police arrived and carried away the guest's body. Qu Manting drove Guo Shuting back to the military academy. Huo Xiaoyu sent Old Six to chase the assailant, but unexpectedly, the assailant had already committed suicide. She sent someone to take off the assailant's clothes and discovered the assailant was wearing Japanese-style underwear. Huo Xiaoyu ordered the assailant's body to be dumped at the entrance of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Fujiwara failed again and begged Oda Hiroshi to give him one last chance.
