697: Hundreds of thousands were exchanged for hundreds of millions.

Seeing Xiao Niannian holding a grenade with both hands, the person who wanted to run stopped in fear and shouted loudly at the people on the boat.

"Quickly contact the people above! This Researcher is holding a grenade. She said if we don't release those two Researchers, we'll all die together..."

The people on the boat were also stunned when they heard this.

They never expected a female Researcher in her forties to be so bold.

So ruthless and courageous.

"If you don't agree in ten minutes, then we'll all die together!"

"Even if you catch me now, I'll still have a grenade in my hand when I get to your place..."

Hearing this, these people panicked even more.

How many grenades did this Researcher have in her hand?

What kind of person had they provoked?

The people on the other side were furious, but Xiao Niannian's move caught them off guard.

They had received orders to take that Researcher to sea, where someone would meet them... If this Researcher died, they wouldn't survive either, and the mission would be a complete failure.

They had already collected tens of thousands of yuan as a deposit.

This was money they couldn't earn in their entire lives!

And if they succeeded, they would receive hundreds of thousands in final payment. Then they wouldn't have to do anything, and they could live very well for the rest of their lives.

The other side also said they could arrange for them to go to Hong Kong City.

They heard that people there earned hundreds of yuan a month, which was more than ten times what they earned in Yangcheng.

Some could even earn over a thousand yuan a month, which was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

They had been lurking for so many years and finally found an opportunity to make a fortune and escape from here, no longer fearing being caught by the military and public security... "Okay, we'll release the people. Let her follow us over."

A voice came from the radio.

They looked at Xiao Niannian and said.

"Did you hear that? Our Big Brother wants you to come over."

Several people pointed their guns at Xiao Niannian.

"Don't boss me around."

Xiao Niannian pulled the pin of the grenade and threw it far away.

It landed more than twenty meters away in the sea.

Before the few people could react, Xiao Niannian had another one in her hand.

"Boom."

A huge explosion echoed across the entire beach.

The grenade in this Researcher's hand was actually real?

Her speed was so fast; if it had really been in her hand just now, they would all have been blown up.

The waves were blasted ten meters high, and the boat also rocked just now.

Their faces changed dramatically, and they looked at Xiao Niannian with some horror.

"Now, make them release the people. I need to confirm I hear the news before I go with you..."

These people contacted them again via radio.

Another half an hour passed, and Xiao Niannian heard the news that the other two Researchers had been successfully rescued. She smiled.

After confirming that everyone had been rescued, Song Yue boarded the boat.

These people did want Xiao Niannian to throw away the grenade in her hand, but unless they opened fire, Xiao Niannian wouldn't listen to them at all.

However, the superiors required the Researcher to be alive and unharmed.

This was a Researcher who could earn hundreds of millions. They had previously obtained a portrait and knew that this Researcher was in her forties, about 1.7 meters tall, a Female Comrade, with short hair... All these characteristics matched, and they also heard that this female Researcher had some martial arts skills.

The few people held their guns, looking at Xiao Niannian warily.

Xiao Niannian sat in the cabin, her eyes calmly sweeping over these people.

The faces of these few people were somewhat grim. They were clearly here to capture someone, but now it seemed like they were escorting this Researcher. Who was the kidnapped person, exactly?

How did they become like bodyguards?

However, they dared not say such things. Xiao Niannian's quick, ruthless, and accurate grenade throw just now had truly scared them.

For years, they had been doing these things to make money and enjoy wealth and honor, not to lose their lives.

"Have you caught the person? Hurry and send them to the island..."

"We've caught them. We're bringing the person over now..."

Hearing that this Researcher had been caught, the people on the other side were overjoyed.

"Good, good, good. We'll give you the money later..."

Xiao Niannian listened to the person's words, her gaze sweeping over the few people. She smiled.

One of them saw Xiao Niannian smile and angrily rebuked.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at your stupidity."

What?

She not only scared them but also insulted them. Who could tolerate that?

But thinking of the hundreds of thousands in commission, they could only endure it.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think they'll give you money if you deliver me?"

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, these people's expressions changed.

"Don't try to sow discord here. We've cooperated several times. They've always given us the money before. And they're not short on money..."

"That's right. If you dare to sow discord again, my bullets don't have eyes..."

Someone threatened Xiao Niannian. Although they were a little flustered, they didn't want to show it in front of Xiao Niannian.

"Did they tell you that after delivering me, they'd give you the final payment of hundreds of thousands and then take you to Hong Kong City?"

"How do you know?"

They all looked at Xiao Niannian in shock. How did Xiao Niannian know these things? These things were only known to themselves.

How could Xiao Niannian know?

Could there be an inside man? Or did someone betray them?

"They're from Hong Kong City, right? Hundreds of thousands for hundreds of millions, that's quite a bargain."

"Hundreds of millions of what?"

They only knew that the other party asked them to catch someone and then exchange that Researcher for another important Researcher. They didn't know what this Researcher did.

They didn't understand what Xiao Niannian was saying now.

But the fact that the other party was willing to pay so much money for this Researcher meant that this Researcher must be very valuable.

"You mean, you're worth hundreds of millions?"

These few people looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise.

Xiao Niannian nodded.

What kind of Researcher could be worth hundreds of millions? How was this possible?

"You're lying to us, this is impossible! How can any Researcher be worth hundreds of millions?"

"Others might not be worth hundreds of millions, but I am. Because I'm an Electrical Appliance Researcher, and the latest electrical appliances sold in the Yangcheng Department Store were all researched by me..."

"What?"

These few people were shocked. In recent days, they had earned some money and had also been to the Yangcheng Department Store, where they had seen the most expensive electrical appliances, costing several thousand yuan each. But when they saw how those washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions worked, they felt that several thousand yuan was indeed very worth it.

They had also thought that once they had money, they would definitely buy these appliances to use, and then they would be rich.

But they never expected that the person they caught was the Researcher who designed these electrical appliances.
