As soon as Don Albert heard Charlie Wade’s voice, he was momentarily stunned.


    He remained in a daze, staring nkly at the sky while murmuring, “This can’t be real… Am I dreaming? Is God really this clever?” On the other end of the line, Charlie Wade asked, “Don Albert, what are you rambling about?!”


    Startled by Charlie Wade’s voice, Don Albert snapped back to reality and eximed in shock, “M-Master Wade?! Is that really you? Or am I imagining things?!”


    Don Albert’s words sent shockwaves through the crowd around him!


    Everyone began questioning him, eager to know if it was truly Charlie Wade who had called.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie Wade then asked Don Albert again, “Can’t you recognize my voice?”


    It was only then that Don Albert realized the voice on the other end was indeed Charlie Wade.


    Overwhelmed with joy, Don Albert burst into tears and cried, “Master Wade, where are you?! We’ve been searching the valley for nearly an hour without any luck. We were about to lose our minds…”


    Charlie Wade inquired, “Who are you with?”


    Don Albert quickly replied, “I’m with Isaac, Inspector Li, and the Elms family brought by Miss Xion.”


    Charlie Wade pressed on, “Is there anyone else with you?”


    “No one else,” Don Albert assured him. “We didn’t inform too many people because others might be uncontroble.”


    “Good job,” Charlie Wade acknowledged, appreciating Don Albert’s discretion.


    Don Albert, disregarding any pride, urgently asked, “Master Wade, where are you?”


    Charlie Wade coughed lightly and replied, “Ahem… I can’t exin everything right now, but don’t worry, I’m safe for the moment.”


    Wiping his tears, Don Albert joyfully said, “That’s such a relief! As long as Master Wade is okay, nothing else matters!”


    As Charlie Wade was about to respond, he heard Li Yalin’s voice on the line, “Mr. Charlie, are you alright?”


    Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Thank you, Inspector Li, for your concern. I’m fine for now. How is my grandma doing?”


    Li Yalin quickly assured him, “Don’t worry, they’re all safe at the vi in the mountains. However, they are quite worried about you.”


    “Okay,” Charlie Wade said with a sigh of relief. “Inspector Li, please help stabilize their emotions. Let them know I’m okay, and they should stay at the vi. I will visit when I can.” Li Yalin promised, “Understood, Mr. Charlie. I’ll convey your message.”


    Then, Li Yalin asked, “By the way, Mr. Charlie, where are you right now? Is there anything we can assist you with?”<fn10b3> Chapters first released on Find[?]ovel</fn10b3>


    Charlie Wade instructed, “Inspector Li, please turn on the speakerphone. I need your help with something.”


    Li Yalin quickly activated the speaker and said respectfully, “Master Wade, we’re all listening!”


    “If you hear helicopters nearby, make sure everyone stays in the vi and doesn’t go outside. Also, ask Xion to take the Elms family back to the hot spring hotel first, and keep today’s events a secret. Isaac, you and Don Albert need to secure the perimeter around my vi and ensure no one approaches.”


    Isaac responded promptly, “Understood, Young Master. I’ll take care of it.”


    After ending the call, Charlie returned his phone to Lin Wan’er (ni) and mentioned, “I just told them to send a helicopter to pick me up, but how can I exin that? I can barely walk right now; getting to the Champs Elysees Vi is a challenge.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled and replied, “If you ask them to pick you up, what would you say? Suddenly appearing in a young girl’s room, dozens of kilometers away in the middle of the night? And…”


    She added, a bit shyly, “Besides, Master, you haven’t even put on any clothes yet. If that gets out, I won’t mind, but how will you exin it to the esteemed wife? Plus, with Lao Zhang and the others below, if a helicopter suddenlynds at night, it would raise quite a few eyebrows.”
