"But what happened?" Uncle Xu asked with a serious face.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "However, some time ago, I received another anonymous letter, saying that the previous information was just a meeting gift, and that he asked me to go to Japan and give me something more important."

"Something more important?" Uncle Xu asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "It didn't say anything in the letter."

"Where's the letter? Let me see it." Uncle Xu asked.

"No more." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "I burned it!"

"Burned?" Uncle Xu frowned, "How could it be burned?"

Cao Zhiqiang flattened his lips: "The end of the letter asked me to burn it. After burning it, I had to crush the ashes, stir them with water, and scatter them on the ground, so that no one would find out."

"Hey, you are careful enough." Uncle Xu shook his head, "Are you so obedient?"

"That's necessary!" Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "I'm just an ordinary citizen. When something like this happens, I, I'm afraid!"

Uncle Xu frowned, tapped his fingers and thought for a while, then asked: "Is everything you said true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "The complete set of technical information on the NATO 5.56 mm SS109 ammunition, as well as the information on a bullpup rifle, are all at my place. I can bring them to you at any time."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Uncle Xu, I only believe in you, and I only dare to bring it to you. I can't trust anyone else."

"Don't worry about it yet." Uncle Xu asked, "Since it's what you said, I definitely believe it. But, how long have you had this information?"

"It's been a long time." Cao Zhiqiang said, "It's been a while."

"Then why did you just say it today?" Uncle Xu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said: "I originally wanted to hide it forever, after all, I didn't know what was involved, and I couldn't tell whether the information was true or false.

So, it’s better to do less than to do more. I originally planned to keep it as my personal secret and keep it sealed forever.

But this time, they wrote again and said they had something new for me.

Although I don’t know why you fell in love with me, I think, what if it’s true?

What if those things are really useful to the country?

Therefore, I first applied to be sent abroad by public servants in the name of music exchange.

I will come to see you after the application is successful.

Actually, originally, I wanted to go to Japan first, meet up with that person first, and then come to you after getting the things.

But when I thought about it, I was alone and had never been an agent. If something happened, I wouldn't be able to account for it.

So after much deliberation, I decided to discuss it with you first."

Uncle Xu nodded: "You are right to think so, but I think you should bring the things to me first to see if they are true.

It’s just a prank, if it’s true…”

"How is it really?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Uncle Xu squinted at Cao Zhiqiang and said faintly: "If it is true, then your matter is not a small matter."

"Uncle Xu." Cao Zhiqiang pretended to cry, "Don't scare me, I'm just an ordinary citizen!"

"Ordinary people?" Uncle Xu chuckled, "Ordinary people can't do what you do."

"That's my own ability!" Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "I rely on my ability to make a living, not on crooked ways!

But, the technical information, especially the weapon information, is really beyond my ability."

Uncle Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then laughed: "Well, you go and bring the things to me first. Maybe it's not as serious as you said, it's just a prank."

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "I also hope it is a prank, but, those things are too realistic, no matter how you look at them, they are not real."

"Then you can show it to me." Uncle Xu chuckled, "If it's true, I'll make sure you don't have to worry about it."

"Really?" Cao Zhiqiang looked at Uncle Xu, "Can you really protect me?"

"Really!" Uncle Xu nodded.

"That's OK!" Cao Zhiqiang stood up immediately, "Uncle, please wait here, I will get the things for you right away!"

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was about to leave, Uncle Xu quickly said: "Wait a minute, will it be dangerous for you to go alone? Do you want me to find someone to go with you?"

"No need!" Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Only I know where the things are buried. Few people know and there are fewer hidden dangers.

It's been so long. If something were to happen, it would have happened already. I'd better go get the things for you first.

Furthermore, didn’t you also say that this is not necessarily true and could be a prank?

If it's really a prank, then you mobilized a lot of people to send people to follow me. If it turns out to be true, then I won't become a joke?

It's okay to make a fool of myself in front of you, but to others, I still want to save some face."

Uncle Xu smiled and nodded: "Okay, then be careful on the road and go back quickly."

"Okay!" Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his hands, "You wait later, I'll be back as soon as I can!"

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang quickly left Uncle Xu's house and got into his Citroen CX20 sedan on the roadside.

Fasten your seat belt skillfully, start the engine, shift into gear, lift the clutch, step on the accelerator, and drive away.
