While Charlie and Jasmine were on their way back together to Tokyo on the Ito family's helicopter, Reuben could not sit still in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's hall.
At this point, he was very nervous and thought, 'No one knows whether Jasmine is alive or dead. It has been hours, and they can't find her whereabouts. This will most likely continue to drag on. The sky is turning bright. If they still can’t find her, it will be problematic!'
'Logically speaking, Jasmine's corpse should have been in that commercial vehicle. However, she went missing without a trace in the hills! Is she now dead o r alive?'
Reuben was very worried. What if Jasmine was still alive?!
As long as Jasmine was not dead, the lie made by Nippon Steel's vice president, Hashimoto, would be exposed.
After all, Hashimoto was the one who had decided on this issue. On one hand, it was to give Nippon Steel more room to achieve more profit while also securing his personal gain.
That was the reason why he had worked with Reuben t o trick Jasmine, asking her to go to Nishitama to sign an agreement with the chairman. In truth, the chairman of Nippon Steel did not even know about this. 3
If Jasmine was still alive, the police only needed to ask her the reason as to why she had gone to Nishitama, then the plan would be exposed.
By that time, the Japanese police would surely capture Hashimoto immediately. 1
In Japan, murder was one of the heaviest offense. Moreover, this time, three people had been killed.
Hashimoto would surely not hesitate to betray Reuben. 4
By that time, Reuben and his father's plot to kill
Jasmine would be known publicly. 1
Meanwhile, Hashimoto was so worried that he was pacing around repeatedly in his house.
