"Something terrible has happened! An earthquake just struck thirty miles away, and their base there has been submerged. A lot of people are going to die!"

Just as everyone was immersed in grief, a voice rang out.

Jiang Ruan suppressed her grief, looked up at Du Chong, who had spoken, and asked, "Where did you get this news from?"

Du Chong held up a tablet in his hand, and the rescue scene playing on the screen was exactly what he had just mentioned.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but this matter is very serious. Duan Yu and Jiang Yan have already been called away by the government, and the rest of us are on standby."

Du Chong didn't want to come in, but his superiors were pressing him hard. Without Jiang Ruan's orders, he couldn't do many things. He needed her Azure Dragon to perform large-scale healing.

Therefore, for the sake of all those affected by the disaster, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and come to report.

"Du Chong, you... sigh!" Wan Mei spun around in a panic.

Du Chong looked at Jiang Ruan, who remained silent, and felt extremely uneasy. He knew he had taken a risk. He had promised himself he wouldn't contact her and that he would postpone this matter, but he hadn't expected to blurt it all out.

"It seems like it's the last chance," Jiang Ruan said calmly after staring at the video for a long time.

"Wanmei, things are very complicated there. You stay here with my parents and wait for us to come back. As for the others..."

Jiang Ruan looked around.

“Everyone else, bring supplies and come with me to help. The reason we weren’t affected by this earthquake is entirely due to luck and destiny. We can’t let down God’s good intentions; we must help all those in distress as soon as possible,” Jiang Ruan said.

Du Chong's eyes lit up; he knew Jiang Ruan had agreed.

He immediately sprang into action, organizing others to move supplies and prepare to head to the disaster area for rescue.

Everyone worked together and acted swiftly, demonstrating their determination and courage to unite as one and overcome difficulties together.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this and making you sad. This is not the outcome I wanted."

After moving the last injured person, Xiao Ran stood behind Jiang Ruan, panting heavily, and said something.

"You didn't offend me, you offended your mother. She loved and cared for you, but she never expected that she would sacrifice herself for you in the end. She gave you life twice, you should thank her properly."

Xiao Ran lowered his head, his voice indifferent, and said, "You... you know everything, don't you?"

Jiang Ruan nodded while summoning the Azure Dragon.

The enormous body of the Azure Dragon appeared before them, its huge wings flapping and creating a strong gust of air.

Xiao Ran looked at the Azure Dragon, a hint of surprise and fear flashing in his eyes. He had never seen such a powerful creature before, and a sense of awe rose in his heart.

The Azure Dragon's gaze fell upon Xiao Ran, its eyes revealing a sense of majesty and power. Xiao Ran felt the Azure Dragon's gaze, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Jiang Ruan's heart sank when she saw Xiao Ran's reaction.

She knew that Xiao Ran was already overwhelmed by the Azure Dragon's aura, which was exactly the effect she wanted.

She said softly to Xiao Ran, "Xiao Ran, you should know that I won't make things difficult for you. Since Mother has made her choice, I have no objection. Just live with her wishes and ideals."

However, I need you to make a choice, and now you have the chance. Either obey me, or face the wrath of the Azure Dragon.

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth. He knew he couldn't contend with Qinglong, but he was unwilling to submit to Jiang Ruan like this.

He raised his head, staring at Jiang Ruan, his eyes gleaming with determination.

He said slowly, "Jiang Ruan, I will listen to you. I am willing to obey you and follow your orders, just like everyone else!"

After speaking, Xiao Ran bowed solemnly, showing the utmost respect.

Jiang Ruan watched Xiao Ran's actions, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She murmured to herself, "Xiao Ran, you made the right choice. From now on, we will face the final enemy together and welcome the final dawn. I hope you will come with us."

Xiao Ran nodded, keeping his guilt, helplessness, and self-repentance hidden in his heart.
