The people from the finance company left.
Although they did not use force, the name of the finance company gave off a very bad feeling.
Even if Demi was a high-ranking military officer, it was useless.
Demi and Sonnenfeld sat in the room, neither of them speaking.
"Dad, why are you in debt to the loan sharks?"
"Before my movie was released, I thought that the film company's stock would soar because of my movie, so I borrowed some money to buy the company's stock," Sonnenfeld said helplessly. "You know the result."
Demi was also helpless. She also knew that her father had been in trouble.
His father had ended up in his current situation because he had invested all of his assets into stocks.
"Do you know the background of those loan sharks?" Demi asked.
"Yes, they're New Yorkers."
Of course, the New Yorkers Sonnenfeld was talking about was not just a magazine.
New Yorkers referred to a wide range of things, and one of them was widely known as the gang.
This was also a very famous gang in the United States.
Demi's face gradually darkened.
The gang's structure was very complicated.
It could even influence politicians.
Therefore, it was difficult for Demi to use the military's power.
Suddenly, Demi thought of an idea.
A solution that was not really a solution.
"Dad, stay here for now. I'll think of something," Demi said as she left in a hurry and headed to the military base headquarters.
Seeing Demi return, Demi's adjutant immediately came over.
"Sir, aren't you on leave?"
"I'm fine, so I came back," Demi said calmly.
Due to the explosion on the artificial island in Lake Pontchartrain, Demi had been demoted. Now, she was only a major.
However, her authority did not decrease because of that. Instead, she was authorized to handle some special events.
Now, she was in charge of the entire military base.
After Demi returned to her office, she immediately opened a file on her computer.
Demi had access to a lot of secrets. Not long ago, she discovered one of the missions.
The higher-ups had given her 30 million dollars for this mission.
It could be said that this mission was the most expensive mission that Demi had ever encountered.
After all, some missions in third world countries only cost a few hundred thousand to a few million dollars.
Eliminate the Sala Lab in the desert near the capital of Baja California.
The mastermind behind Sara's laboratory was the culprit behind the explosion of the artificial island in Lake Pontchartrain.
At present, the approximate location of Sala's laboratory had been determined. It was located underground within two hundred square kilometers.
Demi stared at the description of the mission, reading every single useful information in detail.
At the moment, it was still impossible to find out the true identity of the owner of Sara's laboratory, so it was best to keep at least one person alive.
At the same time, Sara's laboratory was conducting unknown experiments, and the contents of the experiments were likely to involve human and biological experiments that violated national and international laws.
There were also many unnatural monsters in the desert that were extremely aggressive.
Because it was located in Mexico, it could not receive military support, nor could it carry too many extraordinary weapons.
However, they could hire international mercenaries, and the activity budget was capped at 30 million USD.
Demi thought about it. At the moment, she could only mobilize about 500 people in the military base.
There were only about 300 people who could carry out the mission, while the other 200 were logistics personnel.
Furthermore, it was impossible for all three hundred of them to complete the mission at the same time.
For this operation, they could only mobilize about 150 people at most.
During the last operation on the artificial island in Lake Pontchartrain, she had lost nearly a hundred people.
This time, the target was Sara's laboratory itself, so the danger would definitely be higher than the last time.
Wanting to completely destroy Sara's laboratory with just 150 people?
The difficulty was too high.
Demi thought about it for a long time.
According to her best plan, she would complete this mission alone.
She would falsely report the use of the funds, then withhold a portion of the funds to pay off her father's debt.
As a military general, she naturally had a way.
For example, she could set up a shell company, then use the shell company's account to transfer the funds to this company.
However, the prerequisite was that she had enough strength to deal with Sara's laboratory.
If she couldn't deal with Sara's laboratory, then the higher-ups of the military would definitely conduct a detailed investigation of the operation.
To find out the reason for the failure, this would increase the possibility of her withholding funds being exposed.
If she could complete this mission, then all she needed to do was to report the operation, and the higher-ups wouldn't get to the bottom of it and investigate where the funds were used.
Demi thought about it for a long time, trying to find an appropriate plan to complete this mission.
However, she lacked sufficient strength, and this operation was outside of the country, which increased the difficulty of her mission.
What should she do? Demi suddenly thought of someone.
Chen Zhao! The culprit that caused her father to go bankrupt.
He was also the person she hated the most.
Demi wasn't really willing to interact with Chen Zhao.
This was because Chen Zhao was someone as strong as her.
Moreover, he had almost no weaknesses.
He had enormous assets, and in this country, rich people were the privileged class.
Moreover, his personal strength was unfathomable.
After thinking for a long time, Demi finally decided to interact with Chen Zhao.
Demi packed up the confidential documents and went to Chen Zhao's residence.
…
"Boss, here's the financial report from Citibank." Portia handed it to Chen Zhao.
Portia had already seen the numbers on it.
Chen Zhao's expenses last month were huge, but they weren't even as much as the interest on his bank account.
This meant that no matter how much Chen Zhao spent, his money still didn't decrease.
His money didn't decrease. Instead, it continued to increase.
Of course, this didn't include Chen Zhao's personal income.
Chen Zhao's bank account was enough to make Portia's scalp go numb.
Chen Zhao glanced at the financial report and then put it away.
Chen Zhao had never been good at math.
Thus, he'd always been very casual about financial reports.
Of course, if he found out that the bank's agent, Andrews, had cheated Chen Zhao's money one day, he could ask the bank for compensation with this financial report.
Just then, the butler system sent a message.
"Master, a stranger has entered Mingyue Villa. After checking the license plate, we can confirm that the owner is Demi Sonnenfeld, a mid-level general in the military, major rank."
