312: Unclear explanation

"If you all came to express these things, then what happens next? I suppose I don't need to waste any more words."

"Some things I also feel have no meaning for discussion. Of course, if you all are exceptionally capable and can bypass others to do certain things..."

"Then I don't need to waste words. But if your way of expressing emotions is like this, then I think it's unnecessary."

Jiang Lan's expression was serious.

The few people who came to provoke him looked at each other.

Although they wanted to cause trouble, they never expected that he would show so little Face.

Huang Qilian was even more furious. At that time, he had voluntarily given up his position, believing that Jiang Lan had the capability. He thought Jiang Lan would give him some Face and not make things too ugly.

But now it seemed he had overthought it; Jiang Lan showed no intention of giving him Face.

When asked to sit in that position, he actually sat there, not even feeling anything about it.

Wang Wenshan also noticed this. At that time, he had originally thought that if it really didn't work out, he would start from other places, and there was no absolute necessity to do this particular thing.

But now, he also realized Jiang Lan's level of concern for these matters.

So, his gaze towards Huang Qilian and the others became exceptionally sharp.

"If you want to die, you can try, but do not attempt to let those Yao Beasts enter the city and harm the common people."

"After all, you all know what the outcome will be, and you've already experienced it more than once. Of course, if you are truly beasts, then I have nothing to say."

These few people looked at each other.

The reason they came here to cause trouble was because they felt Jiang Lan was unworthy of his position and shouldn't be sitting there, but now this situation made them a bit at a loss.

"Why do you have to say such high-sounding words?"

"Moreover, whatever happened before, it's very clear now."

"And if I were you, I wouldn't directly threaten everyone like this. But I want to say that just talking like this is no longer effective." Huang Qilian immediately threatened Jiang Lan.

Compared to those things, this situation was even more outrageous.

Jiang Lan found it inexplicably amusing when he heard this.

"Huang Qilian, at that time, when I asked you if this position could be held steady, how did you promise me? Later, Yao Beasts frequently appeared in the city, and no one from the entire Demon Suppression Division took care of it. Now you're spouting this nonsense. Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Jiang Lan hadn't been provoked like this in a long time. Before this, he felt these things were nothing to fear and nothing to worry about.

But now this guy was truly insane, dancing on his last nerve.

"My saying to step aside doesn't mean you can do it. Are you sure you can manage all of this? I just don't think you have the strength. Yet you're still deliberately speaking like this here."

Jiang Lan found this inexplicably amusing.

"I don't have the strength? Do you have the strength then?"

"Or do you think everyone should be as you say, fawning, following orders, with no impact or change whatsoever—is that normal?"

His expression held a hint of a smile, and although Wang Wenshan and Xu Lindong didn't say a word, it was clear that Jiang Lan was getting a bit angry.

Seeing Huang Qilian remain silent, he continued to ask, "Why aren't you speaking? Weren't you just smug, thinking what you said made perfect sense and everyone would praise you?"

"Too bad you came to the wrong place."

Huang Qilian instinctively took a step back.

But Jiang Lan didn't give him a chance, directly raising his hand and delivering a punch.

He was sent flying again, and this time Jiang Lan carried a hint of anger.

So, it inherently carried some power, and by the time that guy realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

"You two, watch this place carefully for me. If any other ignorant cats and dogs come to cause trouble, you don't need to be polite; just kick them out."

"Everything here is centered on the common people. It's not that we don't care about others' situations, it's just that it absolutely cannot be like this."

Hearing him say that, the people who were originally calm suddenly felt something was off.

Wang Wenshan, taking advantage of Jiang Lan going inside, turned and cautiously asked Xu Lindong.

"Why do I feel like Jiang Lan is about to do something big? This situation seems a bit unreasonable."

"Don't mention it. I hadn't thought it so complex at the time, thinking that no matter how this matter was resolved, this situation couldn't possibly occur."

"But now it seems quite effective, after all, not every matter can proceed so perfectly, don't you agree?"

The two of them spoke without any reservations, unaware that Jiang Lan had actually already heard them from outside. He just found them incredibly childish.

"If I had known you two were like this, I wouldn't have bothered keeping you around. It's a bit of a waste of my time."

Hearing Jiang Lan say this, the two obediently shut up.

After all, although he didn't say anything directly, it was clear that he must have heard them.

"Apologies, Mr. Jiang Lan, but I don't think Huang Qilian and his group will give up easily."

After all, he had finally managed to get that position; if he gave up easily now, it wouldn't be like him.

Hearing Xu Lindong say this, Jiang Lan waved his hand dismissively.

"I actually hope he comes to cause trouble, so I can vent some anger. There's a pile of old, dusty matters here."

He couldn't even handle all of them, let alone the others. This current situation was even more infuriating.

"Originally, I had thought that if it hadn't reached this point, then what I considered wouldn't just be this, but now it seems this situation is truly surprising."

Huang Qilian and his group looked at each other after coming out.

"The methods you mentioned before aren't working either. I don't think they're the kind of people who would fall for it. What exactly are you doing? Are you intentionally trying to incite us to fall into a trap?"

They had originally thought that if there wasn't a special reason, there would be no need to do such a thing again.

And it was already this exaggerated; there was no need for further discussion.

They did all this to help him reclaim his position.

Yet this guy was still incredibly arrogant.

"Do it or don't do it, as you please. It was said so clearly back then, and now you're discussing this content here. Don't you think it's a bit too outrageous? Moreover, you shouldn't burn your bridges like this."

Upon hearing these words, the people became even angrier. It clearly wasn't their fault at the time.

Yet in the end, he even started blaming everyone.

"I think we should no longer trust this guy. Whatever he says makes sense, and we'll never be able to argue with him."

This incident caused the group to disperse unhappily.

Huang Qilian watched their retreating backs, furious but helpless.

"You all are good, very reasonable. Don't think that just because you leave me, you'll get a position that you can't possibly get."

His expression was filled with madness.
