It was obvious that the white-haired old man had a strong ability to observe words and emotions, so after Cao Zhiqiang drank tea and calmed down, he soon started to laugh softly.

After making an opening statement with laughter, the white-haired old man said to Cao Zhiqiang with a kind expression: "Cao Zhiqiang, is that right?"

"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang immediately stood up subconsciously.

"Oh, why are you standing up again?" The white-haired old man pressed his hands, "Sit down, sit down and talk."

After Cao Zhiqiang sat down again, the white-haired old man smiled and said: "My surname is Lin. You can just call me Uncle Lin like Lao Xu."

"Yes, Uncle Lin." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly.

Uncle Lin chuckled: "That's right, that's right. Just be straightforward. The rumors are true. Then I'll just call you Xiao Cao. Is that okay?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "No problem!"

"Okay, Xiao Cao!" Uncle Lin responded with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Lin!" Cao Zhiqiang responded with a smile.

Uncle Lin chuckled, then leaned on the sofa and said: "Xiao Cao, it's a bit abrupt to call you here suddenly today, but you are so smart, you must know why, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded silently.

Uncle Lin smiled slightly: "Well, don't be nervous, we already understand your situation and it is absolutely reliable, so don't put any psychological burden on you first, and don't be afraid.

Well, I suddenly called you here this time. Firstly, time is tight and the task is heavy. Secondly, I personally want to have a casual chat with you first. Otherwise, it won’t be me talking to you here, but someone else.

Let’s talk, do you understand?”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded again.

"You really don't need to be nervous." Uncle Lin continued to laugh, "I have already said that there is absolutely no problem with your situation. We all believe in you, and with Lao Xu as your guarantee, no one dares to do anything to you, hahaha."

Speaking of this, after seeing Cao Zhiqiang still looking serious, Uncle Lin shook his head: "Forget it, let's get back to the business.

That's right, the things you gave Lao Xu twice have been proven to be true.

Then, Lao Xu has already told me about you, but I am afraid that he is too old and there will be mistakes in his retelling, so I want to ask you personally.

So, can you tell me from beginning to end the technical information you obtained twice and the contact you had with that mysterious man?"

"Of course it's no problem." Cao Zhiqiang said immediately, "But..."

"But what?" Uncle Lin asked with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang scratched his head: "Well, actually, I am a little confused about the things I have experienced, so I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."

"Hahaha." Uncle Lin raised his head and smiled, "Just say whether you believe it or not, you don't have to worry. In other words, no matter how bizarre what you say, I will believe you, after all, I believe in you."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Okay, since you said so, then I will tell you everything from the beginning when I came into contact with those secret materials, as well as what happened afterward. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang recounted from beginning to end the story he had used to deceive Uncle Xu.

Including how Cao Zhiqiang got a parcel information in a daze for the first time, and after he handed it over to Uncle Xu, he got a call from a stranger in a daze, heard the other party say some scary things, and soon got a twelve-year-old man.

He told everything about the package of floppy disks.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang told Uncle Xu before that the other party planned to meet him in Japan and hand him all the information on the "Firefinder" artillery positioning radar system, and he would need to exchange it for five million US dollars.

They will give you the information first, and then give you the money after they make sure there are no problems.

As for how to give the money, the other party will inform him later.

Then, if you are not satisfied with the information and want the physical finished product of the radar, they can also provide four complete sets of "Firefinder" radar systems, and they can be delivered to your door and quietly sent to somewhere in the country.

Tell us the delivery address.

Likewise, the goods are delivered first and paid later.

However, the finished product is more troublesome and the price is a bit more expensive, at 30 million US dollars.

So including the materials and physical objects, the total is 35 million US dollars. The other party will provide the goods first, and we will pay later.

In addition, people say that up to two people, one man and one woman, can be sent to follow him here, but the age cannot be more than thirty years old. They can be responsible for protecting Cao Zhiqiang, and also check the authenticity of the information, but it will not work if there are more people.

After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's all I know."

After hearing what I said, Uncle Lin touched his chin and nodded: "It's similar to what I heard, but I'm very surprised, why did the other party want to find you?"

"I don't know either." Cao Zhiqiang spread his hands, "I asked the other party on the phone at that time, and the other party said that he was a fan of my poetry and he came to me because he liked my poetry."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang immediately raised his right hand and said seriously: "The other person really told me that, I swear!"

Well, of course that mysterious person is fake, but if you think about it carefully, the other person is Cao Zhiqiang himself, so this oath actually doesn't mean anything.

If I told myself this, I wouldn't be lying.

At most, there is no phone number.

But we didn’t say that what was said on the phone was true. We just said that the other party told me, and that’s no problem.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's serious swearing, Uncle Lin chuckled: "Okay, okay, I believe you, you don't have to do this, just put your hands down."

Upon hearing what Uncle Lin said, Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and put down his hands.

After Cao Zhiqiang put down his hand, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, Uncle Lin, who had been deep in thought, suddenly asked: "Xiao Cao, do you think the other party is trustworthy? Why do you deliver the goods first and pay later?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "I don't know, but if you ask me to guess, the other party probably has something better in hand. They don't care about what they gave us in the early stage. Even if we regret it and don't pay for the goods,

They didn't think anything was wrong.

To be precise, the other party should use this method to test us, or to express their sincerity and to see our sincerity.

If they deliver the goods first and we can truthfully provide the money, then there will be subsequent transactions.

But if we take the goods this time and don't pay for it, or the amount is wrong, then there will probably be no future transactions.

In addition, I guess they did this because they wanted to minimize direct contact with us and prevent us from tracing their true identity.

Of course, it is also possible that they are not only guarding against us, but also against others.

Let me guess, although they like money, they may be more afraid of exposure, so they use this method of giving goods first and giving money later, just to bet that we want to continue doing business with them, and they also trust our character, no,

National product!”

"National product?" Uncle Lin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It's a bit interesting, but your analysis makes sense, and I think so too."

After laughing, Uncle Lin looked solemn: "No matter what the other party thinks, we are really tempted by these things, especially the information you brought later, and the finished products you mentioned, and we also hope to achieve it.

this transaction.

However, since the other party has specified that they want to do the transaction through you, we can only copy it.

But in this way, there is a certain degree of danger for you. After all, as far as I know, you have never done similar work before, right?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "Uncle Lin, I believe you must have investigated me. This is nothing. Of course I am not afraid of investigation. After all, I am not afraid of slanted shadows.

However, as you said, I grew up in the capital and have always been an ordinary person living an ordinary life. When I suddenly encountered such a thing, I was really a little panicked."

"Don't panic." Uncle Lin chuckled, "Actually, this is also a good thing. Although I don't know why that person, or that group of people, came to you, but no matter what, you have a chance to do more for the country.

Are you happy with the opportunity to contribute?"

"Well, of course I'm happy to contribute to the country." Cao Zhiqiang said, "But this kind of thing involves too much, so I'm afraid that I can't do it well or screw it up. After all, as you said, I don't have any skills in this area.

experience."

Uncle Lin smiled: "Don't worry about this, we can send professionals to help you.

Didn't the other party say that they can send a man and a woman to protect you and assist you?

Since the other party said this, it is obvious that they want us to send someone to help you. It would be inappropriate if we didn't do it.

Of course, we will not force others to do anything.

If you are really afraid, really dare not have further contact with the other party, and continue to complete the subsequent transactions, we will not force you, after all, forceful melons are not sweet.

So I called you here. In addition to asking you how you got involved in this matter, I also want to ask you whether you are willing to continue to contact that person and help us get those things as he said."

"I am willing!" Cao Zhiqiang said immediately, "Of course I am willing. If not, I will just pretend that those things don't exist, and I will not find Uncle Xu again, hand over the twelve floppy disks to him, and give him the 151

Ten told the story.

Because the other party also told me when he called me before that if I don't like it, I can destroy the disk and throw it away, and it will be treated as if it never happened, and he will not pester me again."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "To be honest, I did struggle with whether to destroy the disk or not. I pretended that this never happened. In this case, I can continue to live my normal life.

I believe that with my ability, if I live a normal life, I will be able to live happily and comfortably."

"I believe that." Uncle Lin nodded, "I heard that you are a great talent. Not only are you good at writing poems, you are also good at writing and singing songs. The song that is very popular now is called "Blooming Life".

It seems to be yours, I also like to listen to it, haha."

"You're very grateful." Cao Zhiqiang quickly said modestly.

"Not a prize, not a prize at all." Uncle Lin waved his hand.

"As you said, the things you told Lao Xu, as soon as you came to me, your investigation report also came with it, so I also know a little bit about your general situation.

So I know very well that if you don’t come into contact with these things, you can indeed live a better life than the average person.

Maybe the other party really sees you as a famous poet or singer, so they came to you specifically.
