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

"fishing?"

Su Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She lowered her voice, her excitement like a cat discovering a new toy, "Captain Lu, you mean... to turn the tables?"

Lu Jingyan did not answer directly.

He just stared at the increasingly offensive comments under Su Qingge's short essay on his phone screen, and the playful smile on his lips grew colder and colder.

The Internet is not a place outside the law.

Since this actress likes to use public opinion as a weapon, he will personally step in and teach her what "dimensional reduction attack" means.

"Xiaoxiao."

Lu Jingyan's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire special investigation team's office. "Activate 'Commercial Crime Insight' to assist. Now, immediately check all of Su Qingge's and her affiliated studio's tax records and cash flow statements for the past three years, especially those 'technical service fees' and 'publicity and consulting fees' that were transferred through overseas accounts."

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly.

Although she is a technical genius, the tax system has extremely high barriers to entry. How could it be possible to find out in such a short time?

"Captain Lu, this..."

"Check as I say."

Lu Jingyan's tone left no room for argument: "Pay close attention to discrepancies between contract amounts and actual receipts, as well as records of fraudulent invoices issued through third-party companies. I believe there will be a pleasant surprise."

[Ding! The skill "Business Crime Insight" has been activated!]

The system is sifting through massive amounts of data and automatically flagging suspicious financial chains...

Looking into Lu Jingyan's eyes, which seemed to see through everything, Su Xiaoxiao felt a strange sense of confidence welling up inside her. She nodded heavily, her fingers flashing across the keyboard: "Yes!"

Half an hour later, just as Su Qingge's fans were about to overwhelm the city bureau's official website server, Lu Jingyan used his office landline to personally call Su Qingge's agent.

The agent on the other end of the phone was in a state of panic, but when he saw that the caller ID showed it was the Municipal Public Security Bureau, his tone became much more polite.

"Hello, this is the Special Investigation Team of Jinghai City Public Security Bureau."

Lu Jingyan's voice was calm and official: "Regarding the public opinion caused by Ms. Su Qingge's remarks on the Internet, we believe it is necessary to have a face-to-face meeting. Please ask her to come to the Municipal Bureau within one hour."

Upon hearing this, the agent felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Here it comes! It must be that it couldn't withstand the pressure and was about to give in!

He hung up the phone and immediately rushed excitedly into Su Qingge's lounge: "Qingge! It's done! The Municipal Bureau couldn't hold out any longer and specifically asked you to come over for 'communication.' Isn't this a prelude to a private settlement and apology?"

Su Qingge was wearing a face mask when she heard this, and a victorious smile appeared on her lips.

"I knew it. What can a newly recruited junior police officer do against me?"

She removed the face mask, looked at her stunningly beautiful face in the mirror, her eyes filled with calculation. "Get ready, I'm going to accept his 'apology' in the most perfect way."

An hour later, in the special investigation team's office.

Su Qingge has arrived.

She changed into a finely tailored white Chanel suit, and wore a barely-there, natural-looking makeup. Her peach blossom eyes, which seemed ready to overflow with tears, were filled with just the right amount of grievance and accusation. As soon as she entered the room, she didn't look at anyone else, her gaze immediately locking onto Lu Jingyan, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Officer Lu, you wanted to see me?"

She spoke softly and weakly, her voice trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Lu Jingyan pointed to the chair opposite him: "Miss Su, please sit down."

Su Qingge did not sit down immediately, but picked up a cup of coffee from the table next to her and walked gracefully toward Lu Jingyan.

"Officer Lu, I know you work hard."

As she spoke, she "inadvertently" stumbled, her wrist twisted, and the scalding cup of coffee splashed straight at Lu Jingyan's chest!

This was an "accident" carefully planned by her team.

Once she splashes it on him, she can conveniently exclaim and wipe it off, creating an intimate physical contact. Then, with a man and woman alone together, and the atmosphere perfectly set, even the most hardened man will soften.

However, just a second before the coffee touched the police uniform.

Lu Jingyan made a move.

He didn't even lift his head; he simply slid the chair back and leaned slightly backward, the movements as fluid as if he had rehearsed them countless times.

"Splash—"

The entire cup of coffee, not a drop spilled, was spilled all over Su Qingge's white suit, which was worth six figures. The dark brown liquid quickly spread, leaving her looking utterly disheveled.

"what!"

Su Qingge let out a short scream, not because of the heat, but because of the shock and embarrassment of her plan falling through.

"Miss Su, are you unsteady on your feet?"

Lu Jingyan then raised his head, his eyes showing no pity whatsoever, only pure, all-knowing indifference. "Do you need me to call a doctor to check your balance?"

"I...I didn't mean to..." Su Qingge hurriedly explained, her face turning red and white in turns.

"I know."

Lu Jingyan nodded, then pointed to the button-type camera on the pocket of his police uniform, which was flashing a faint red dot.

"Don't be nervous, I just wanted to remind you."

He pushed up his glasses, his tone as calm as if he were announcing a weather forecast:

"Our special investigation team's office is under 24-hour surveillance with no blind spots, and I personally have a habit of keeping my body camera on the whole time when I talk to people involved in the case."

"Therefore, Ms. Su, please watch your words and actions. Every word you say and every action you take will be used as evidence in court."

Su Qingge's expression froze completely.

Looking at the camera, smaller than a pinhole, she felt like a naked clown, all her carefully crafted performance reduced to a joke in that moment.

[Warning! The honey trap has failed! The target is immune to all charm skills!]

The system's alarm in her mind made her brain go blank.

It took the actress more than ten seconds to find her voice again.

She took a deep breath, and the embarrassment and shock on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a more charming and alluring smile with a hint of reproach.

She walked to Lu Jingyan's desk, placed her hands on the surface, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in an extremely intimate, coquettish tone:

"Oh, Brother Lu, I was just joking with you, why are you taking it so seriously?"
