Yang Zhenshan looked at Lan Buqi, who was kneeling down, with an unfazed gaze in his eyes.
His decision to take action against the Lan family was well-considered.
For the Tenglong Guard, the Lan family was like a malignant tumor that had to be eliminated. Although eliminating the Lan family could plunge the Tenglong Guard into further chaos, Yang Zhenshan had no time to engage in a power struggle with the Lan family.
Pulling and tugging for power and profit, waiting for the right moment to eliminate the Lan family could perhaps stabilize the Tenglong Guard and might even spare Yang Zhenshan from criticisms in the court.
But that could take a long time—three months, half a year, or even a year.
Yang Zhenshan couldn't afford to waste that much time, nor was he skilled or patient in the struggle for power, so entangling himself with the Lan family was out of the question.
Since the Lan family had to be eliminated, sooner rather than later.
