Chapter 2077

When Jasmine heard Charlie Wade's words, she immediately interrupted, "Charlie Wade, I'll listen to you!"

Charlie Wade nodded seriously. "The situation is similar in Japan. I'll take you to a friend's house. Until this matter is resolved, you must not contact anyone, including your grandfather and other family members."

Jasmine was surprised. "Charlie Wade, can't I tell my grandfather? He must be worried. If I'm unaccounted for, he'll be extremely worried, and it could affect his health"

Charlie Wade smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. Your grandfather took the Rejuvenation Pill; his health is fine. And don't forget, the Rejuvenation Pill I gave you for your birthday is with him. He'll be perfectly healthy."

He continued, "Most secrets are leaked by the person themselves. The fewer people who know a secret, the better. Ideally, only you should know. Once others know, it's difficult to control its spread."

Though Jasmine looked conflicted, she quickly raised her head and said seriously, "Okay, Charlie Wade. I won't tell anyone."

Charlie Wade nodded. "You didn't contact your grandfather or family earlier?"

"No," Jasmine replied hastily. "My phone just got a signal, and I immediately contacted you. I planned to contact you first, then my grandfather, but I haven't yet."

Charlie Wade urged, "Turn off your phone immediately. Don't receive calls, and don't use WeChat or any other communication software."

"Okay, Charlie Wade," Jasmine agreed. "I'll turn it off."

She immediately long-pressed the power button on her cracked phone screen. Then, she remembered something, looked at Charlie Wade with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Charlie Wade, how did you find me in this remote forest?"

Charlie Wade explained, "The eldest daughter of Japan's Ito family is a friend of mine. After your accident, I asked her to help locate you. She sent expert Japanese ninjas—legendary ninjas—to the mountains of West Domo County to search for clues. They found the vehicle involved in your accident and followed you here. I came as soon as I got your location."

Jasmine exclaimed, "Huh?! Ninjas? Charlie Wade, you mean ninjas really exist?"

Charlie Wade nodded. "Ninjas are like our Chinese martial arts experts—they're real."

Jasmine nodded, then exclaimed, "They've been secretly tracking me. Does that mean they're watching us now?"

Charlie Wade chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, they are."

Jasmine blushed. "Thatthatthen what we just diddid they see it all?"

Charlie Wade shrugged helplessly. "Definitely."

Jasmine was embarrassed, lowering her head. "Charlie Wadeyouwhy didn't you warn me? This is so humiliating"

Charlie Wade spread his hands innocently. "Jasmine, I'm not to blame. I didn't know you'd suddenly jumpI was surprised too."

Recalling how she'd kissed him, Jasmine's face flushed even deeper. She whispered, "Oh myLet's not talk about thatCharlie Wade, where are we going now?"
