少校听完陷入了沉沉的思考之中，良久，锐厉的目光抬起，“What can I do for her（我能为她做些什么）？”

她刚刚才录下了两人的见面，一个念头随着和Ryen的交谈已然成形，望着大兵刚毅的面容，文静跃跃欲试地道：“Yes，actually you can…One hundred percent Yes（事实上你可以，百分之一百的可以）！”

两个小时后，一条视频发布在“李什桉-share”的ID上，内容来自一位美国陆军部队校官Harry Ryen的自述，表明了这位中国实习志愿者是如何在前线勇敢地驻留了整整八个多月，在这段时间内又是如何地深入当地居民，如何地参与救治伤员，同时也为部队提供有效帮助的。

“…This is not a recherche reality show，it's a truly cruel survival challenge，the only purpose of being recorded by the camera is attempts to draw more attention to what is happening on this soil and how many people have sacrificed their lives for peace（这不是一个精心设计的真人秀节目，而是一场真实残酷的生存挑战，它被相机记录下来的唯一目的，就是让更多的人关注这片土地上发生了什么，有多少人为了和平而献出了生命）.”

“Every frame you see and every conversation you hear may become our death scenes and last words，which is why sometimes soldiers are willing to make quips with a war correspondent while we were on a military mission.So I do believe that no matter what Anna said at that moment, it must be one of her unfulfilled wishes，not an attempt（你们看到的每一帧图像，听到的每一句对话，可能都会成为我们的临终影像和遗言，这就是为什么有时我们总是愿意在出任务时和随军记者说些俏皮话。所以我相信无论安娜在那时说了什么，那必定是她未竟的牵挂之一，而非卑鄙企图）.”

“But if she risked her life to go deep into the frontline of Sythtana just to lay the groundwork for all of this or gain the professor's recognition on the essay topic，I must say it's not a wise choice，and I think a Harvard student wouldn't be such clumsy like this（但如果是为了铺垫这一切或在论文课题中得到教授的认可，就冒着生命危险来到塞镇深入前线，我必须说这不是一个聪明的选择，我相信Harvard是不会培养出如此笨拙的学生的）.”

“As you know，Anna and I appeared in the documentary，but there was a small episode before that terrible explosion，I professed my love for her and hoped she would agree to date me（如你们所知，我和安娜出现在了纪录片之中，但在那场可怕的爆炸之前其实还有一个小插曲——我向安娜告白了，希望她答应和我约会）.”

“Truth be told sometimes I would ignore her age and identity，she has the agility and alertness that is not inferior to any soldier，as well as the empathy for every innocent civilian，which is why we finally minimized the casualties to a minimum（我必须说有时我会忘记她的年龄和身份，因为她有不逊色于任何一个士兵的机敏警觉，以及对每一个无辜平民的体恤，所以最后我们才能合力将那场伤亡控制在最小范围内）.”

“And yes，we all paid for it. Anna needs to take medication till now，several pieces of bomb fragments still in my body that cannot be removed（当然，我们因此付出了代价——直到现在，安娜仍需要服用药物，我的身体里也残存着几块无法取出的炸弹碎片）.”

“The point is，you will never accuse her of ulterior motives once you get to know Anna，and all the soldiers there recognize her abilities and appreciate her frankness.She did this because she considered it’s time to begin to act to help those poor people, and now Anna exactly made it，she has brought Sythtana into the public eye（我想说的是，假如你试着了解安娜，就绝不会认为她是一个别有居心的女孩，事实上那里所有的士兵都认可她的能力并喜欢她的直率。她这样做，是因为她认为自己应该有所行动以帮助那些可怜的人民，如今她也恰恰做到了不是吗，她让这片土地进入了公众的视野）. ”

“Knowing she was sufferring from highly doubt in the last few months，I think she need help，so here I am. And no matter what she want，I hope Anna can fulfill it，because she deserves that.If you know anything about this case, please let me know.Separately，I sincerely hope that everyone can express opinions after understanding what I said as a witness（看到她过去几个月里饱受质疑，我想她需要帮助，所以我来了，我无比希望安娜能够完成她的心愿，不管是什么。如果你知道些什么，请在这条视频下告诉我，同时我也恳请各位，请先了解我作为亲历者所说的这些，再去发表你对此事的看法）.”

“If you can't，at least don't blame her for chasing the truth about her Dad，after all，Anna did something that a daughter should do，and meanwhile，she also did something that a man might not able to do（假若不能，至少不要因为她是在追求父亲的真相而责备她，请别忘记，她做了一个女儿会做的事，但同时更做了一个男人可能都做不到的事）.”

等什桉从谈判的会议室中出来时，铺天盖地的讯息已经将她的手机淹没，所有的对话框里一上来都会转发同一个页面给她——点进去快速看过一遍，才算明白了为什么刚刚会上对面忽而便交头接耳起来，还时不时向她投来意味不明的一瞥。

秦勉的车就停在广场上，和几位律师道别后她没有先上车，而是打给文静让她转交给Ryen。

“Anna？”

什桉直抒来意：“Will you be relieved by army because of me（你会因为我被军队解职吗）？”
