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

"nitrous oxide?"

Su Xiaoxiao leaned closer, looking at the small jar with the cartoon pattern on it, and blinked curiously. "Is it the kind of anesthetic used in dentistry? Is this stuff considered a drug?"

"It didn't count before, but it does now."

Lu Jingyan placed the small jar into the evidence bag, his eyes as cold as ice. "Due to abuse, nitrous oxide has been listed in the 'List of Hazardous Chemicals.' Illegal sale and consumption are equivalent to drug trafficking and abuse."

He turned around, his gaze piercing through the one-way glass, landing on the still-shouting young master in the interrogation room.

"These idiots are not only stupid, they're also wicked."

"Do they think that taking a few puffs of this 'trendy' stuff in a luxury car means they're not doing drugs?"

Lu Jingyan picked up the walkie-talkie, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Notify the anti-drug squad to bring rapid testing kits and come over to work overtime."

"Also," he glanced at the row of tattooed men squatting neatly in the corner, "bring all those 'cheering' guys outside in too, check them one by one. Don't miss a single one."

……

Half an hour later, the temporary detention room of the special investigation team was filled with cries of anguish.

The dozens of rich kids who had just been swaggering around in front of the police station, along with their bodyguards, were now all wilted like frostbitten eggplants.

"Officer, I'm innocent! I just came along to join the fun, I didn't do anything!"

"Yes, yes, we're here to take a photo with Officer Lu!"

However, faced with the cold, hard results of a urine test, all excuses seem pale and powerless.

Rows of bright red bars, like resounding slaps, struck their faces that screamed "I am a law-abiding citizen."

"All tested positive."

Captain Li of the Narcotics Control Division, clutching a stack of lab reports, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, said, "Not only did they find nitrous oxide, but also marijuana, and even a few were a mixture of ketamine and methamphetamine. Young Master Zhao, this is quite a wild party. Are you planning a 'drug party' right in front of the police station?"

The arrogant young master Zhao was now sitting in an interrogation chair, handcuffed.

The arrogance on his face had vanished, replaced by a death-defying fear. He never imagined that his attempt to save face would end up ruining his entire future.

They were doing drugs in a group right in front of the police station.

Even if his father were the King of Heaven himself, he couldn't save him from this crime!

"I...I didn't...I only tasted it..." He was still making a last-ditch effort.

Lu Jingyan pushed open the door and entered.

He didn't look at the terrified prince, but instead slammed a confession onto the table.

"Young Master Zhao, your 'brothers' are very loyal."

Lu Jingyan pulled out a chair and sat down, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "They all confessed. They said you provided all this stuff. They said you not only used it yourself, but also forced them to use it together, euphemistically calling it 'sharing the good fortune.'"

"They also revealed your supplier and the locations where you usually hold drug parties."

"No! They're lying! They've framed me!" Young Master Zhao screamed hysterically.

"Whether it's a frame-up or not, the evidence will speak for itself."

Lu Jingyan pointed to his gold Lamborghini, which was still parked in the yard.

"Our police dogs found another five kilograms of high-purity ketamine in a hidden compartment in your trunk."

"Young Master Zhao, you have secretly hoarded five kilograms."

Lu Jingyan's voice was soft, but it was like a heavy hammer, shattering Zhao Gongzi's last psychological defenses.

Do you know what that means?

"According to Article 347 of my country's Criminal Law, smuggling, trafficking, transporting, or manufacturing drugs, regardless of the quantity, shall be subject to criminal liability and punishment."

"And large quantities... such as more than one kilogram of opium, or more than fifty grams of heroin or methamphetamine..."

Lu Jingyan paused, looked at Young Master Zhao's bloodless face, and slowly uttered the last few words:

"At worst, it could be the death penalty."

"Death...death penalty?"

Young Master Zhao shuddered, and an unpleasant, pungent stench instantly emanated from beneath him.

He was so scared that he peed himself on the spot.

Lu Jingyan frowned in disgust, stood up and took two steps back.

"Take it away."

He waved to the anti-narcotics officers at the door, "The nature of this case has changed. It's escalated from a disorderly conduct case to a major drug trafficking case. It's being transferred to you for handling."

"Alright! Thank you, Captain Lu, for this wonderful gift!"

Team Leader Li rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at the young master who was now limp as a rag doll as if he were a treasure.

If we keep digging this line, we'll exceed our anti-drug KPI for this year!

With the arrest of Young Master Zhao and his gang of cronies, they were all brought down.

A meticulously planned "counterattack" by capital tycoons ultimately ended in bankruptcy in an extremely farcical and tragic manner.

Early the next morning.

The official Weibo account of the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau once again released a police report with blue background and white text.

[A briefing on the case of Zhao Moumou and others from "Tianyu International" engaging in drug use and trafficking.]

The announcement was concise and clear, but every word was like a bomb, detonating in the business and entertainment circles of Jinghai City.

The stock prices of several listed companies, including Tianyu International and Huayi Media, plummeted to their daily limit the moment the market opened.

Countless stock market investors are suffering immensely.

Those online trolls and marketing accounts that were attacking Lu Jingyan online yesterday have now vanished without a trace, as if their internet cables had been cut off.

"The landscape of Jinghai is truly about to change."

Countless people looked at the K-line chart, which was so green it was unsettling, and sighed in disbelief.

……

Lu's Group, Chairman's Office.

Looking at the miserable state of his competitors on the computer screen, Lu Mingze forgot to drink the coffee he was holding.

"Brother...you...you're being a bit too cruel, aren't you?"

He dialed Lu Jingyan's number, his voice carrying a hint of...admiration that he himself didn't even realize?

"I was just about to make the acquisition, and you sent their heir to jail, possibly with a death sentence. What do you call that? Cutting off their lifeline!"

"Just routine procedure."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Jingyan's calm voice came through: "They're the ones with dirty laundry, and they just ran into my trap. Who can they blame?"

"So... what do we do now?" Lu Mingze asked excitedly. "These companies are leaderless, and their stock prices have plummeted. This is a perfect opportunity for us to buy at the bottom!"

"That's your problem, brother."

Lu Jingyan yawned. "I'm a police officer, I don't get involved in business activities. But let me remind you, don't be too greedy. Divest those problematic assets, don't get yourself into trouble."

"I understand! I understand!"

Lu Mingze hung up the phone, feeling his blood boiling.

He slammed his hand on the table and yelled at the secretary outside the door:

"Pass the word! Call an emergency meeting!"

"Huayi, Tianyu... we, the Lu family, want all the valuable assets of these companies!"
