"What does Mrs. Fu want to talk to me about?" the senior colonel asked.
The door to the dressing room closed, and Lin Nuan's smile faded. She looked at the senior colonel with a mocking gaze …
"What did Senior Colonel say to me just now? I mainly want to promote the military to the public, telling them what a soldier is, what the soul of a soldier is, what courage is! What the faith of a soldier is! I really want to hear you tell me … what a soldier is! What the soul of a soldier is, what courage is, and what the faith of a soldier is! "
Lin Nuan's smile didn't reach her eyes. She walked back in her high heels and sat down in her seat. She crossed her slender and straight legs and rested her elbows on the armrest, speaking in a pleasant voice.
Lin Nuan didn't hide her emotions. This senior colonel wasn't stupid and could tell that there was a hidden meaning in Lin Nuan's words. It sounded sharp and sarcastic coming from Lin Nuan's mouth.
The senior colonel's gaze followed Lin Nuan back to the chair Lin Nuan was sitting in. He watched as Lin Nuan sat down and asked with a hint of a smile, "Mrs. Fu, there's a hidden meaning in your words!"
Lin Nuan smiled. "If Senior Colonel doesn't explain it to me, I'll think … that a soldier is someone who knows how to weigh the pros and cons and use the most emotional parts of others to make an exchange! A soldier's soul is someone who wants a retired soldier to rescue their own soldiers when they're captured! A soldier's courage is someone who hides behind while others risk their lives to rescue their soldiers! Your faith … Hur, is it to protect the country? Senior Colonel … is this what you want me to convey to the public? "
The young military officer's expression changed slightly, as if he was trying his best to hold back something.
"Senior Colonel, I'm waiting for your answer! Is it this? "Lin Nuan asked again, the smile on her face disappearing.
"Mrs. Fu, you can say it directly. Why beat around the bush to scold me?"
"Isn't what I said the truth?" Lin Nuan's expression darkened. "You're soldiers, and a soldier's duty should be to protect the people. Fu Huai 'an left the military for so many years and has long become an ordinary person! Back then, many soldiers died in the Golden Triangle during the undercover mission! Fu Huai 'an narrowly escaped with his life, and it wasn't easy for him to come back alive and send the man who deserved to be punished to prison. Yet, you guys released him in exchange with the US government for your own interests! Now … the person who was released wants revenge and captured your people. Yet, instead of sending people to rescue your warriors, you guys made use of Fu Huai 'an's feelings for his former comrades to make an issue out of it, asking Fu Huai' an to risk his life to rescue them single-handedly! How could you do that?! It didn't matter if they captured him or exchanged him! The benefits … are all yours! Why should my man risk his life?! "
When Lin Nuan said the last sentence, her voice rose by several pitches, and her chest rose and fell violently.
There was dead silence in the dressing room.
The young military officer's countenance didn't look good either. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Nuan, your man is also a soldier!"
"He's a retired soldier!" Lin Nuan said agitatedly.
"Have you ever heard of this saying … if there's a battle, the summoned ones will return?!"
"Don't insult this sentence!" Lin Nuan's heart was heaving up and down violently. "Where is the battle? All I see is you guys using a retired soldier's feelings for his comrades to force him to clean up after you've reaped the benefits! "
"Lin Nuan!" The young military officer stood up, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. The masseter muscles on his chiseled cheeks were especially distinct, and even after a few heavy breaths, he still wasn't able to calm down. "What do you think it's a war? Do you think gathering intelligence overseas and carrying out missions isn't considered a war? "
Lin Nuan stood up as well, not showing the slightest bit of fear. "If it's a war, then where are you, the active duty soldiers who are paid by the citizens … who shout slogans like to protect the motherland and the people? Do you soldiers with two bars and four stars on your shoulders only know how to enjoy the air conditioning in your offices? Do you need a retired soldier to risk his life for you? This is simply hilarious … Isn't it too easy to be a soldier? "
"Do you think I don't want to go?" The young military officer's anger rose, and he lost control of his emotions. He couldn't say anything that involved his personal feelings and military secrets!
He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his emotions. After letting out a long exhale, he bent over to pick up his military cap from the table and put it on. "You have an hour to go home and pack up your things. My men will follow you and take you directly to the army!"
"What is this? So I'm a hostage to threaten Huai 'an into risking his life for you guys?" Lin Nuan sneered.
"It's fine if you say these things in front of me, but when you get to the army, I advise you to focus on doing your show …"
Before the young military officer could finish speaking, Lin Nuan took out her phone from her pocket. The number on the recording screen was still changing, and Lin Nuan pressed the stop button.
"Give me the phone!" The young military officer's expression changed drastically, and he took two steps closer to Lin Nuan and stretched out his hand.
Lin Nuan raised the phone high and quickly took a few steps back. The screen was already on the send page, and she just had to press confirm to send the recording out immediately.
"Didn't you want to promote your army? Senior Colonel, do you think that once this audio gets out … it'll have a good promotional effect for the army? "Lin Nuan smiled.
The young military officer didn't dare to act rashly. "Lin Nuan, if this audio really gets out, your future will be ruined!"
"Using my future in exchange for the truth is exactly what I want to do! I want to let the people see the truth about the army. I wonder how the taxpayers will feel when they find out that their tax money is given to a bunch of military officers who only know how to blow air conditioners! "Lin Nuan smiled and nodded." Ah … there will probably be more people fighting to enter the army! After all, they're treated so well. They don't have to do anything, and there will be people to support them! "
"Lin Nuan!"
The young military officer could no longer tolerate Lin Nuan's rude words. But when he saw Lin Nuan's hand pressing the send button, he held back his temper and said, "We want Fu Huai 'an to go and rescue them because no one understands the person who captured our soldiers better than Fu Huai' an! It's Fu Huai 'an who thinks our people will drag him down, so he doesn't want to! It's not us who want Fu Huai 'an to go and rescue them single-handedly! Moreover … using that person who was captured by Fu Huai 'an to exchange with the United States is a political move … It must be done because there are greater benefits for our country! But I want to make it clear that this is a political move, not an act of our army! Our army doesn't care about diplomacy! "
Seeing that Lin Nuan still had no intention of putting down her phone, the young military officer straightened his neck and relaxed his body. He said to Lin Nuan, "Do you think … I don't want to go and rescue them? My older brother has been captured too! But I can only be trapped in the office … "
