Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

Evening, downstairs at the special investigation team's office building.

A dozen or so supercars of various colors, like exhibits at a car show, arrogantly blocked the police station entrance. The roar of their engines merged into a restless wave of sound, making the windows of the entire street buzz.

Leading the pack was a Lamborghini, entirely gold and ostentatiously modified.

The young master who clamored to "blacklist" Lu Jingyan was wearing a Versace floral shirt, with one foot on the hood of the car, a cigar in his mouth, and dozens of burly men with dragon and tiger tattoos standing behind him, who were clearly not good people.

"Lu Jingyan! Get the hell out here!"

The young master picked up a gold-plated megaphone and roared upstairs, "You think you're so tough? You like to kidnap people? Well, we're right here today! Go ahead and try touching us if you dare!"

"Exactly! Just a lousy cop, what's he so great about?"

"No one's leaving get off work until we get an explanation!"

A group of rich kids joined in the commotion, and some even started throwing empty bottles at the entrance of the police station, their arrogance reaching its peak.

This scene naturally attracted countless onlookers and media reporters who rushed to the scene.

"My God, what's going on? Are gangsters besieging the police station?"

"Isn't that young master Zhao from Tianyu International? I heard his family's stock was just targeted by the Lu family; is he here for revenge?"

In the office, Zhao Tiezhu stared at the surveillance footage, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Captain Lu, these bastards are too arrogant! They're utterly lawless! I'm going down there and twist them all... oh no, I mean handcuff them!"

"Don't rush."

Lu Jingyan was slowly wiping his police badge, his eyes showing no anger, but rather amusement at the prospect of a good show.

"Let them make a scene, the bigger the better. The louder the horn blares, the better, it'll be perfect background music for us."

He picked up several instruments from the table and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Tiezhu.

"Xiaoxiao, go to the entrance and measure the noise level in decibels to see if it exceeds the 'Urban Environmental Noise Standard'."

"Tiezhu, go check their parking spaces and see if they're blocking the tactile paving or the fire lanes."

"Also, bring breathalyzers and check them one by one. I suspect they are involved in disorderly conduct while intoxicated."

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Tiezhu were both stunned.

They've already come knocking on our door, and this is all you're concerned about?

"This is the procedure."

Lu Jingyan pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "There's no use reasoning with these idiots who only have money and muscle in their heads. You have to use rules, little by little, to wear down their arrogance."

After saying that, he straightened his police uniform and walked out of the office building alone, his long legs carrying him.

"He's out! He's out!"

Upon seeing Lu Jingyan appear, the Crown Prince perked up, jumped out of the car, and arrogantly led a group of people to greet him, surrounding Lu Jingyan completely.

"You surnamed Lu! You finally dare to show your face?"

The young master pointed his cigar at Lu Jingyan's nose, his eyes full of contempt. "What? Just you alone? Where are your colleagues? Are they all too scared to come out?"

Lu Jingyan ignored his shouts.

His gaze slowly swept over the dozen or so flashy modified sports cars in front of him, finally settling on the young master's gleaming Lamborghini.

"Your car has a nice color."

Lu Jingyan commented casually, "It's just that the film wasn't applied well; there are bubbles at the edges. It's suspected of illegally altering the car's color without registration."

The Crown Prince: "?"

"And your exhaust pipe, it's pretty loud, isn't it?"

Lu Jingyan then pointed to the four dark exhaust vents, "The noise level is severely excessive, disturbing public order. The car is impounded, and a fine of two thousand is imposed."

The Crown Prince: "???"

"As for you..."

Lu Jingyan turned his gaze to the group of tattooed men. "Gathering a crowd to block the gate of a state agency constitutes suspected disorderly conduct. Come with me to give your statements."

This series of fluent and persuasive "convictions" completely baffled the young master and his cronies.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

The young master finally realized what was happening, trembling with rage. "I'm here to negotiate with you! Not to listen to your legal lecture!"

He suddenly pulled a checkbook from his pocket, tore off a check, and slapped it hard across Lu Jingyan's face.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully! I have plenty of money! How much do you earn a month? Five thousand? Ten thousand?"

The young master pointed to the row of luxury cars behind him, his tone extremely arrogant, "Today, I'll show you what the power of capital is! We'll compete with you in terms of money and cars! If you lose, you'll kneel down and kowtow to us to apologize!"

"Comparing money?"

Lu Jingyan picked up the flimsy check, tore it in half without even glancing at it.

Paper scraps flew through the air.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in numbers."

He raised his head, his eyes flashing with cold mockery.

"Besides, I never compare myself to the sons of my defeated opponents in these matters."

"You!" The young master was hit where it hurt, and his face turned as red as a pig's liver.

"As for comparing cars..."

Lu Jingyan glanced at the Lamborghini and shook his head. "I'm afraid my Wuling Hongguang will give you psychological trauma."

"However, since you're so eager to compete..."

Lu Jingyan smiled, a smile that inexplicably made the Crown Prince feel a sense of unease.

He slowly pulled out the familiar silver bracelet from behind his waist, the one that struck fear into the hearts of countless playboys in the capital.

"Click."

The handcuffs were unlocked, gleaming coldly in the setting sun.

"I do have something that's harder than yours."

Lu Jingyan, holding handcuffs, approached step by step, his voice not loud, but every word was like a hammer blow.

"I probably don't have as much money as you guys."

"But it's harder than handcuffs..."

"All of you combined are not as good as me."

……

Half an hour later.

Silence returned to the entrance of the special investigation team.

More than a dozen supercars were all ticketed, and some of the most heavily modified ones were towed away.

Those dozens of tattooed men were squatting in the corner with their heads in their hands, reciting the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" in a line.

Meanwhile, the arrogant young master Zhao was sitting in the interrogation room, handcuffed and looking utterly dejected.

Lu Jingyan did not rush to interrogate him.

He was wearing white gloves and holding a flashlight, carefully examining the impounded gold Lamborghini.

"Captain Lu, what are you investigating? Apart from the ugly modifications, there shouldn't be any other problems with this car, right?" Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously as she leaned closer.

Lu Jingyan did not answer.

His gaze finally settled on the area under the passenger seat.

There, several small silver jars had rolled away.

It's covered in colorful cartoon patterns, making it look like some kind of air freshener.

Lu Jingyan's gaze instantly darkened.

He picked up a small jar with tweezers and gently sniffed it.

A slightly sweet, creamy aroma entered my nostrils.

"This is……"

Su Xiao-Xiao smelled it too. She wrinkled her cute nose and asked, "What's that smell? It smells nice."

"Smells good?"

Lu Jingyan put down the jar, his voice as cold as if it were about to freeze.

"This stuff is called 'laughing gas'."

"Scientific name: nitrous oxide."

He turned around, looked at the young master who was still shouting in the interrogation room, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

"Xiaoxiao, notify the anti-drug squad."

"Tell them that we caught a big, drug-addicted fish here."
