Jasmine had a powerful realization that took root in her heart. She thought, “From this day forward, I, Jasmine, am ready to do anything for Charlie. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I would do so for him without any regrets!”


    Unbeknownst to Charlie, who was focused onforting her, he spoke softly, “Jasmine, you don’t need to thank me. There’s no need for grand gestures between friends. It’s my responsibility to help you. No matter where you are, even if it’s amidst danger, I, Charlie, will always be here for you.”


    As Charlie expressed his unwavering support for their friendship, Jasmine found his words to be the most touching sentiment she could imagine!


    In that moment, her love for Charlie deepened immensely, and she felt an overwhelming desire to embrace him tightly, to blend herself into himpletely.


    Overflowing with affection for Charlie, she instinctively rose onto her tiptoes and boldly pressed her lips against his.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This marked the second time Jasmine had kissed Charlie.


    It was also only the second kiss she had ever shared in her life.


    Her lips felt cold and still carried a hint of saltiness from her tears, which made Charlie’s heart ache unexpectedly.


    As Jasmine kissed him, she held him even closer.


    At that moment, she wished time could freeze, allowing her to remain in this beautiful instant with the man she adored forever.


    Even if her life were to end right then, she would have felt fulfilled.<fn41c4> Find the newest release on FιndNovel</fn41c4>


    Yet, reality is often harsh and unyielding.


    Just as she lost herself in the kiss, the distant sound of a helicopter pierced the air from the nearby valley.


    Charlie quickly turned to look, and in the sky, he spotted three helicopters flying in formation.


    Bright searchlights from the helicopters swept across the valley.


    Charlie urgently said to her, “We can’t linger here. The police in Tokyo are searching for you.”


    Jasmine responded quickly, “Charlie, the police are looking for me? That’s perfect! I need to call them!”


    Charlie furrowed his brow as he asked, “You really want to call the police?”


    “Absolutely!” Jasmine replied firmly. “The truck that hit me was clearly nned, an attempt on my life!”


    With anger and sorrow in her eyes, she continued, “These people wanted to kill me, but instead of confronting me directly, they dragged my innocent assistants and driver into this mess…”


    As she spoke, Jasmine’s emotions overwhelmed her, and she choked back tears. “rice and Dee have been by my side for so long. They joined me on this New Year’s business trip to Japan, and I had ns to show them a wonderful time in Tokyo. But now… I never expected this…”


    At that moment, Jasmine couldn’t hold back her grief any longer and broke down in tears.


    Charlie quickly reassured her, “Jasmine, don’t worry. Their deaths won’t go unavenged!”


    Jasmine nodded, wiping her tears away, determination returning to her voice. “I’m going to call the police and make sure they catch those responsible, to bring them to justice for rice and the others!”


    Charlie shook his head earnestly. “You’re not familiar with how things work in Tokyo. Calling the police might only put you in more danger; it could alert those we need to avoid.”


    Jasmine asked anxiously, “So you’re saying you won’t call the police?”


    “That’s right!” Charlie affirmed. “We don’t even know if this is the work of someone in Japan or someone back home. Calling the police here won’t help. If you trust me, let me handle this. I’ll uncover the truth and ensure justice for you and for those lost.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
