Arsenal Military Academy Episode 41 Recap
> Arsenal Military Academy Recap
Xie Xiang knocked all the kidnappers to the ground and took the opportunity to escape. She ran home in one breath and learned from her mother that Gu Yanzhen had returned home and taken her photo. Xie Xiang ran out without a word. She wanted to stop a rickshaw to go to the police station, but the rickshaw pullers were too busy looking for her throughout the city to pick up fares.
A rickshaw puller recognized Xie Xiang and quickly pulled her to find Gu Yanzhen to claim the reward. When Gu Yanzhen saw Xie Xiang return safe and sound, he was so excited he couldn't speak. His tears welled up. Their eyes met, and countless words couldn't express their mutual worry. Gu Yanzhen suddenly fainted from exhaustion. Xie Xiang was extremely anxious. Gu Yanzhen kept calling Xie Xiang's name in a daze.
Seeing the button he was tightly holding in his hand, Xie Xiang felt a mix of emotions. Li Wenzhong happened to pass by the flower shop and saw a lecherous man plotting against An Wen. Li Wenzhong calmly took the man away and taught him a harsh lesson. When Li Wenzhong returned to the flower shop, An Wen suddenly noticed his injured hand and helped him bandage it, even tying a butterfly knot.
Li Wenzhong looked at An Wen's pure and kind face and felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. An Wen asked him to help move some vases, and Li Wenzhong readily agreed. The two worked while chatting and laughing. Li Wenzhong was exhausted. An Wen put a flower on his head and took a photo as a souvenir. An Wen thanked him for helping her finish a month's worth of work and promised to treat him to a meal.
Li Wenzhong suggested Western food, but An Wen thought it was too expensive, so she invited him to eat noodles instead. When Li Wenzhong returned to the military academy, he couldn't help but think of An Wen and felt very happy. Miyazawa criticized Oda Hiroshi for her ineffective work and pressured her to quickly capture the escaped translator Chen Zhuo and find the real blueprints. Miyazawa also sent two geological experts to assist Oda Hiroshi in her work.
Xie Xiang carefully took care of Gu Yanzhen. Xie Xiang's mother also made him a tonic soup. Gu Yanzhen took the opportunity to act spoiled with Xie Xiang and kept saying that Xie Xiang's mother liked him very much. Gu Yanzhen wanted Xie Xiang to go to the temple to pray and ward off bad luck. Xie Xiang suspected that Chen Zhuo had leaked the information.
Gu Yanzhen wanted to take Xie Xiang back to the military academy and have her parents temporarily stay with relatives to avoid retaliation. Gu Yanzhen's injuries gradually healed. Xie Xiang's mother took great care of him and prepared his favorite dishes. Xie Xiang was jealous of her mother's favoritism towards Gu Yanzhen. Just then, Shen Junshan rushed over to visit Xie Xiang. He knocked on the door and saw that Gu Yanzhen was also there. He immediately composed himself.
The two glared at each other without speaking. Xie Xiang's mother immediately saw that Gu Yanzhen and Shen Junshan were love rivals and severely lectured Xie Xiang. Shen Junshan explained that he saw in the newspaper that Xie Xiang had been kidnapped and rushed over to see what had happened, without even remembering to buy a gift. To help Xie Xiang hide the fact that she was attending the military academy, Shen Junshan said they met at that banquet.
Xie Xiang's parents didn't suspect anything. Shen Junshan admitted that he and Gu Yanzhen were classmates at the military academy. Gu Yanzhen added sarcastically that they had a good relationship. Seeing this, Xie Xiang's mother quickly changed the subject and invited both of them to stay for dinner. She pulled Xie Xiang into the kitchen to prepare sliced lamb hot pot and again complained that she shouldn't be involved with two men.
Xie Xiang's mother preferred Gu Yanzhen and told Xie Xiang to send Shen Junshan away after dinner. The steaming copper pot was brought to the table, but Gu Yanzhen and Shen Junshan were still cold and silent, glaring at each other. Xie Xiang's mother quickly urged everyone to eat. Xie Xiang sat aside and ate quietly, not knowing how to ease the atmosphere. The meal finally ended in an awkward atmosphere.
Shen Junshan said goodbye and left, specifically asking Xie Xiang to see him out. Gu Yanzhen gritted his teeth in anger but didn't dare to show it in front of the elders. Xie Xiang couldn't wait to know when Shen Junshan had discovered she was a girl. Shen Junshan admitted that he had known for a long time but just hadn't said anything.
Before leaving, Shen Junshan reminded Xie Xiang to return to Shunyuan as soon as possible and said in an unquestionable tone that he would buy her a train ticket tomorrow. Xie Xiang was speechless for a moment. She walked home dejectedly, not expecting Gu Yanzhen to be waiting at the gate. He scoffed at Xie Xiang sarcastically. Xie Xiang didn't want to get entangled with him any further, so she went home first.
The next morning, Shen Junshan arrived early to pick up Gu Yanzhen and Xie Xiang. Gu Yanzhen refused to get in the car out of stubbornness, but Xie Xiang forcefully pulled him in. As soon as the three arrived in Shunyuan, they went to find Chen Zhuo according to the address. Chen Zhuo had already expected Xie Xiang to come looking for him. He recounted in detail how he was captured.
Chen Zhuo had followed his father in the fur business since he was a child and gradually learned Russian. A friend introduced him to Ivan as a translator. Ivan claimed to be a painter and traveled around Shunyuan for inspiration. Chen Zhuo finished the translation work and settled with Ivan before returning home. However, shortly after, he was captured by the Japanese and subjected to torture, forcing him to reveal his whereabouts with Ivan and the drawings he made.
Chen Zhuo had never seen Ivan paint, and Ivan always went to remote and sparsely populated areas. Chen Zhuo suspected that Ivan was a geologist. Unable to withstand the Japanese torture, he told them everything, but he concealed Ivan's other residence. He had stayed there all along because he wanted to wait for Xie Xiang. Gu Yanzhen gave him a large sum of money and told him to go to Shanghai.
Xinlan quickly found out that Ivan had also rented an apartment in Shunyuan. She immediately reported to Oda Hiroshi, who immediately gathered her men to investigate. Xie Xiang, Shen Junshan, and Gu Yanzhen found the apartment according to the address Chen Zhuo gave. They searched carefully but didn't find any valuable clues. Unexpectedly, the Japanese arrived soon after. The three of them fought bravely against the Japanese together.
Due to the vast disparity in strength, they didn't dare to waste a single bullet. Shen Junshan observed the Japanese positions with a mirror and shot them one by one. Xie Xiang accidentally saw a notebook hidden in the mirror frame. Gu Yanzhen and Shen Junshan covered her escape through the window. Oda Hiroshi waited downstairs and saw everything clearly. Shen Junshan covered Gu Yanzhen's escape through the window as well.
He stayed to fight the Japanese in a desperate battle. Oda Hiroshi blocked Xie Xiang in a small alley, and the two engaged in a fierce fight. Xie Xiang angrily threw the notebook into the stove. Oda Hiroshi tried to snatch it out, but it was too late; the notebook instantly burned to ashes. Xie Xiang and Oda Hiroshi fought neck and neck. Gu Yanzhen arrived in his car in time and rescued Xie Xiang.
