Volume 1: The 19th Chapter of the Army University - Conflict

  Upon seeing this, Xu Shaowen could no longer bear it and rebuked the traitorous translator: "To have such a person serve as an impartial judge, this competition has already lost its meaning. This scoundrel molested our compatriots on the train, do you still have the face to lecture me?" In his heart, he most detested traitors, especially those who collaborated with Japan, for there was no one more despicable than a traitor of China.

  Xu Shaowen finished speaking and raised his hand to slap the middle-aged man in a suit in front of him. Unexpectedly, the other party's slender body reacted extremely quickly, and at the moment Xu Shaowen made his move, he grabbed Xu Shaowen's wrist first.

  Xu Shaowen was shocked, in his impression, traitors were all timid and afraid of the strong, but he didn't expect to meet an extraordinary one today? Just as his hand was pinched by the middle-aged man in a suit, he couldn't help but take a good look at the other's face, only to see that his expression became increasingly serious, staring at his own eyes with complex and profound gaze.

  "Young man, don't make a big deal out of something that shouldn't be a big deal. Now quickly apologize to the Japanese and take them away with you. Remember, one must remain calm in all matters." The middle-aged man in the suit said in a low voice, his tone very serious, completely different from his previous pretentious and traitorous attitude. At this moment, he seemed just like a professor teaching a student, his demeanor subtly meaningful.

  Xu Shaowen was taken aback again, and he suddenly realized that this traitor seemed to be giving him advice. Could it be that the other party was really helping him downplay the matter? He gradually felt that the middle-aged man in the suit who was holding his wrist had a very powerful grip, as if he had a strong foundation, which was completely different from his slender figure.

  However, before Xu Shao-wen could respond, the Japanese man in traditional clothing, Miyazaki Motozaburou, who was standing at the back, became enraged when he saw Xu Shao-wen preparing to make another move. He first ordered his two guards, who immediately assumed a menacing posture and placed their hands on the holsters of their handguns. Then he shouted at the middle-aged man in Western clothing, whose face changed color before quickly reverting to his obsequious demeanor as he retreated to one side.

  Miyazaki Motozaburou and the middle-aged man in a suit conversed in Japanese for a while, with Xiao Riben constantly casting glances at Hu Min'er behind Xu Shaowen, his mouth corners occasionally curling up into a cold smile. The conversation lasted for some time, with the middle-aged man smiling ingratiatingly all along, but from his demeanor and behavior, it seemed as if he was haggling over something with Miyazaki Motozaburou. In the end, Miyazaki Motozaburou suddenly rebuked the middle-aged man, who grew increasingly discomfited in expression before finally nodding his head.

  Xu Shaowen had a faint feeling that something was not quite right, and this little Japanese devil seemed to be up to some trick again. The middle-aged man in the suit walked up to Xu Shaowen with a very serious expression after finishing his conversation with Miyazaki Motozaburou, and said in a tone of reprimand: "I've helped you before, and at first, all you had to do was apologize and this matter would have been over. Now it's gotten worse, Miyazaki Motozaburou wants you to kneel down and admit your mistake, and he also wants the young lady behind you to stay and accompany him!"

  The middle-aged man in Western suit pointed at Hu Min'er behind Xu Shao Wen while speaking.

  Hu Min'er was comforting her little maid, Xiao Lan. After hearing this, she immediately became furious. She had always been treated as a princess in Beijing, and now she was being treated like a prostitute by the Japanese devils. How could she stand it?

  But just as Hu Min'er was about to speak out against it, Xu Shao Wen took a step forward and shouted sternly: "You go back and tell him that he should go die. Unless he kills me, don't even mention making me kneel down, let alone touching the two girls behind me. Hmph! This beast, I still want him to kneel down and apologize to Xiao Lan today!"

  When she heard this sentence, Hu Min'er, who had been following behind her, suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

  "Kid, don't be impulsive, you know that these foreigners in this VIP carriage all have privileges," the middle-aged man in a suit looked at Xu Shaowen, who still had an unyielding expression, and seemed to become somewhat anxious. He turned his head to glance at the two Japanese military officers, then continued, "If they were to beat you to death here, it would be entirely possible for them to say that you intentionally intruded into the carriage. Kid, I think you're a hot-blooded man, you and your fellow Chinese have a responsibility to revive China."

  Xu Shaowen was shocked by the other's words, and this Western suit man seemed not to be the traitor he had imagined, but rather like a special agent lurking beside the Japanese devils. However, he thought of when he entered the carriage, seeing this Chinese man teasing Xiao Lan with the Japanese, suddenly also doubting whether the other was playing tricks on him.

  "You collude with these Japanese wolves, how can you still think about revitalizing China for me?" Xu Shaowen asked coldly.

  "Hmph, you don't understand the situation, do you? You really think you're right?" The middle-aged man in the suit knew that Xu Shaowen was talking about his own behavior with the Japanese people teasing Xiao Lan. He himself was already at an age where he should know better, how could he still do such shameless things? And to make matters worse, it was with a Japanese person! He seemed somewhat angry and continued speaking in a low voice, "Just now I was holding back Miyazaki Motohiro, if you hadn't come in, maybe I would have already let this little girl leave."

  Xu Shaowen turned around and took a look at Xiaolan. Xiaolan's clothes were still intact, after such a long time, if Miyazaki Motoichiro and the two Japanese military officers really wanted to do anything bad to Xiaolan, they should have succeeded already. It seemed that what this middle-aged man said was not false either.

  "May I ask your name, sir?" Xu Shaowen looked at the middle-aged man seriously, hoping to see if there was any record of this person in history.

  The middle-aged man in Western suit hesitated for a moment and finally said, "My humble name is not worth mentioning, the top priority is to solve this matter at hand first."

  At this time, Hu Min'er, who had been following Xu Shaowen, stepped forward. She struck a pose, looking down her nose at the middle-aged man in the suit and said, "Hmph, that Japanese person actually dared to ask me to stay behind and keep him company? Who does he think he is? He's just the son of some minor ambassador, and he's ugly to boot. For him to think I'd accompany him is simply delusional." As she spoke, she shot a venomous glare at Miyazaki Motozaburō.

  "Didn't you even ask who I am? You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me, don't you know any better?" Hu Min'er pouted her small face, looking like a little adult, with her hands clasped together at her chest, showing no sign of fear.
