308: The first problem arises

Originally, they had thought that even if something major happened, it would surely be better than the current situation.

After all, if a problem truly arose here under Jiang Lan's jurisdiction, it would be inextricably linked to everyone else.

But what they hadn't expected was that the situation here became ceaselessly problematic right after Jiang Lan took office.

"I didn't expect that guy to resign and then just enjoy his leisure."

"I originally thought that the previous situation would definitely be better than this one."

"But it doesn't matter; it's already laid out before us anyway."

A hint of a smile played on his face, and those who heard his words couldn't help but want to smile too.

"How come you two look a bit gleeful? Do you think this is more suitable than the previous ones?"

Facing Jiang Lan's teasing, the two quickly shook their heads.

"That's not it. We're just surprised. We originally thought you'd dislike this position."

"After all, not just anyone can be the leader of the Demon Suppression Division, but looking at your current situation, it seems to be even more exaggerated than we initially thought."

"But I believe that, given the current circumstances alone, it probably won't solve everyone's problems."

Because not only do people have problems, but Yao Beasts are rampant here, and various situations have already exceeded their previous predictions.

The remaining issues, naturally, are even more complex.

"I think what he said makes a lot of sense."

"If everyone thought like him, what would the rest of it look like?"

"Then how do you think this should be resolved? If everything is done according to your plan, who should be held accountable for these things below?"

On the other side, Xu Yanjiao was furious after leaving.

"I just don't understand. Why does Jiang Lan have such ability? All he did was defeat me back then."

"In my opinion, you two are just too timid; otherwise, you wouldn't still be wasting time after so long."

He had originally thought that if it didn't come to this point.

Or if this method wasn't suitable, the remaining people shouldn't be conflicted.

But now, it was making him feel unsupported both internally and externally.

"I think perhaps it's because your understanding of this matter is too low."

"That's why these things below are more serious than the later ones, leaving no other option. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better with their capabilities?"

After Xu Lindong made his suggestion, Wang Wenshan also nodded. Both felt that things really couldn't continue as before.

Moreover, the common people here already had a clear impression of the previous events.

Xu Yanjiao left, only wanting to dump this on Jiang Lan.

Don't let his previous deference to Jiang Lan fool you.

In reality, he didn't harbor much respect.

He even deluded himself into thinking that no one else could handle this position besides him.

The result was that Jiang Lan not only handled the position well but also held it very steadily.

He deeply regretted it and was even a bit confused as to how such a terrible hand of cards had been played so well by him.

Meanwhile, Xu Lindong and Wang Wenshan argued for a long time, both feeling that such an opportunity truly should be seized.

Otherwise, what would the rest of it be like? For now, there was no way to plan or consider.

No one wanted to miss out on certain situations, otherwise, things below would be even more severe.

"Then gather all the common people in the city and ask for their opinions on this matter."

"I think we should be able to get to the bottom of it, after all, whether it was before or now, haven't things already changed?"

He had originally thought that if there was no other option and it had to come to this, then the current situation was a last resort.

But the remaining situations would naturally be much better than the current one.

"So that's what you were thinking. I was wondering if even if such a situation truly arose, it wouldn't be so abrupt."

"After all, this is much more exaggerated than the previous ones; otherwise, it wouldn't be just this."

"I was thinking you already knew, so it's even less likely there would be other situations, so he's already accustomed to it."

"Alright, since you already know full well, I don't think the rest of these will be approved, and they will be even more obvious than others."

At his words, the fellow who had just been relaxed now didn't know what to say.

"You're saying that with so many things happening at the Demon Suppression Division, why aren't there a few who can control it?"

"I've noticed that apart from Jiang Lan, everyone else seems to keep silent about the situation here."

"Otherwise, they have other ideas and demands, and frankly, what they say is really infuriating."

"How to put it? If it's just as it first appeared, it would indeed be difficult, but I think this kind of situation might be the most reasonable solution. Otherwise, it wouldn't have reached this point today."

A hint of a smile played on his face. To be honest, a lot of effort had already been put in, and it couldn't become so perfect all at once.

"What you're saying is indeed correct; the situation here is very difficult to restore to how we saw it initially."

"Moreover, to achieve the goal, perhaps there could be stronger help, but I think this will be very difficult, and it may not work."

"What are you two muttering about over there? Didn't I tell you to go out and find people to gather information?"

Jiang Lan was surprised by this matter.

Although he felt it wasn't a big deal, compared to other situations.

This was already much better, and it would be more straightforward.

"We found out, but the common people are quite resistant to this matter and each have their own ideas."

"I'm afraid we can't collect their opinions for now. It's just that previous guy was too awful; he did absolutely nothing."

"And in the end, he dumped this mess on you. I've never seen such a shameless and irresponsible person."

Speaking of Xu Yanjiao, they felt that this person had no redeeming qualities other than being despicable and shameless.

"It's not that bad, is it?"

"I was thinking if he truly had such capability, or it would be better than it is now."

"And according to what those two said before, some agreement has already been reached between them, so there's no choice left."

He had originally thought that if these later things could work out.

Then he would go find them, after all, this area is now under Jiang Lan's jurisdiction, and the two of them couldn't just sit idly by here; they definitely had to help.

Regarding the two staying, Jiang Lan had vehemently objected at the time, telling them there was a better, broader world out there.

But the two earnestly said that staying was what they needed to do, which in turn left Jiang Lan at a loss.

"You two were the ones who wanted to stay back then; don't look at me like that, or it'll seem like I did something."
