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

"Run! Why did you stop running?"

The sea breeze, carrying a damp, salty smell, rushed into the shattered car windows from the bridge. Anna gripped the steering wheel tightly, panting heavily, still shaken. Her once-proud, long, wavy, pure gold hair was now plastered to her face by the sea breeze, making her look like a disheveled, crazy woman just pulled from the water.

It was less than half a meter away! If that black riot control vehicle had been just a fraction of a second off, her priceless Aston Martin would have crashed through the guardrail and plunged into the dark depths of the sea, car and all.

But when she saw the man standing outside the car, the fear of impending death was instantly replaced by a furious outburst of rage at being deeply offended.

"You're a madman!"

Anna screamed and kicked open the badly damaged car door. Wearing ten-centimeter red-soled high heels, she struggled to crawl out from the shards of glass and pointed at Lu Jingyan's nose, cursing him without any politeness.

"Do you know how dangerous that was? If anything had happened to me, your entire country would have faced the most severe international sanctions! I am the first in line to the throne of the Duchy of Slock, the most noble Princess Anna!"

Faced with this hysterical roar, Lu Jingyan didn't even raise an eyebrow.

He didn't even look at the nearly totaled multi-million dollar supercar. Instead, he leisurely took out a traffic violation ticket from his police uniform jacket pocket and uncapped a black ballpoint pen.

Lu Jingyan lowered his head slightly, the pen nib scratching softly on the paper. His tone was businesslike, cold and indifferent, like a law enforcement machine devoid of any emotion.

"Driving at over 180 kilometers per hour on main urban roads and cross-sea bridges, exceeding the speed limit by more than 100%. Crashing into five sections of municipal guardrails, suspected of dangerous driving and damaging public property."

Without looking up, he quickly finished writing and deftly tore off the pink ticket.

A soft snap.

Lu Jingyan slapped the thin piece of paper with extreme precision onto the only intact car window next to Anna.

"The vehicle has been impounded in accordance with the law. A fine of two thousand yuan and twelve demerit points have been deducted."

Lu Jingyan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and his icy gaze finally landed on Anna's face, which was contorted with shock.

"It's not easy for foreigners to obtain a temporary driver's license in China. Since you've lost all your points, I suggest you spend the next year familiarizing yourself with the subway and bus routes in Jinghai City. It will greatly help improve your environmental awareness."

Anna froze, staring at the ticket fluttering in the wind as if she were looking at some utterly absurd alien document.

A fine? Two thousand? And they'll deduct twelve points from her license so she has to squeeze onto the subway?!

She had never suffered such humiliation in her life. In her country, even the king spoke to her in a soft voice, and she was always escorted by water-sprinkling rituals and royal knights. How dare this lowly Chinese policeman reprimand her like a commoner?

"You dare to fine me? You're just a low-ranking police officer, how dare you fine me two thousand yuan?!"

Anna, enraged, laughed coldly. She snatched the Hermès Himalayan crocodile handbag that was tossed onto the passenger seat. Unzipped it, and pulled out a thick wad of brand-new US dollar bills, still sealed with the bank's seal.

"You lowly commoners, all you want is money, right? You think two thousand isn't enough? I'll give you twenty thousand! Two hundred thousand!"

Anna, like a madwoman, grabbed the handful of US dollars and hurled it hard at Lu Jingyan's face.

"Take this filthy money and get out! Keep the change!"

Green banknotes fluttered in the air, carried by the sea breeze, like an absurd downpour, scattering across the asphalt surface of the cross-sea bridge.

Lu Jingyan simply tilted his head slightly.

Not a single banknote touched his crisp police uniform. He stared at the US dollars tumbling amidst the oil and dust, his eyes showing no greed whatsoever, but instead instantly turning to icy coldness.

He raised his hand and pressed the walkie-talkie at his waist, the oppressive aura radiating outwards as if it were tangible.

"The speed camera footage and body camera recordings from just now have all been uploaded to the cloud as evidence. The traffic police will come up and clean the road."

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Lu Jingyan walked step by step toward Anna. His tall figure completely blocked the streetlights on the bridge, casting her in a menacing shadow.

"Ms. Anna, what you just did goes beyond a simple traffic violation."

Lu Jingyan's voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Openly using money to attack law enforcement officers constitutes resisting law enforcement and insulting state officials. Do you really think your money can buy off the bottom line of Chinese law?"

Anna was startled by his terrifying gaze and took a step back, her high heels hitting the edge of the railing. The sea breeze made her legs tremble slightly. But the Mary Sue aura in her bones still lingered, supporting her final moments of arrogance.

"I...I have diplomatic immunity! You can't arrest me! Even if I smash something up, your chief will come and apologize to me personally!"

"Diplomatic immunity exempts you from criminal jurisdiction, but it is not a fig leaf to cover up your inconvenience in someone else's home."

Lu Jingyan sneered, his smile filled with utter mockery and disdain.

"Since you feel that a fine of two thousand dollars is unworthy of your noble royal status, and you disdain paying it with money, then fine, we'll find a punishment that suits your temperament."

At this moment, several traffic police support vehicles with flashing red and blue lights screeched to a halt behind the riot control vehicle.

Zhao Tiezhu jumped off the lead vehicle, carrying a fluorescent green reflective vest. Following Lu Jingyan's instructions over the communication channel, he jogged over and handed it to him.

Lu Jingyan took the cheap-smelling sanitation worker vest from Zhao Tiezhu and threw it directly into Anna's arms.

According to the relevant provisions of the Law on Penalties for Administration of Public Security, the public security organs have the right to impose a mandatory social service warning on lawbreakers who refuse to cooperate with administrative penalties and have a bad attitude.

Anna stood there, dazed, clutching the ridiculously large fluorescent green vest that bore the four large black characters "Jinghai Sanitation" printed on it.

She looked down at the million-dollar haute couture court dress she was wearing, then at the extremely glaring work safety item in her hand, and the logic processor in her brain called "Royal Dignity" completely burned out.

Make her sweep the streets?

To send her, the most beautiful and noble princess of the Duchy of Slock, to sweep the streets for these mortals?!

"No! I won't wear it! This is an insult to royalty! I want to see your mayor! I'm going to sue you for human rights violations!"

Anna screamed hysterically, threw the vest hard on the ground, and raised her high heels to stomp on it.

Lu Jingyan didn't tolerate her bad habit at all.

He bent down, picked up the vest, and grabbed Anna's arm. The movement was rough but extremely effective, forcibly putting the fluorescent green vest onto the arrogant princess.

The glaring fluorescent green paired with the gorgeous court dress looked utterly ridiculous in the night breeze.

"Resisting community service will result in double the sentence. If you dare to take it off again, I won't hesitate to take you straight back to the station and give you a striped detention center uniform."

Lu Jingyan clapped his hands, looking at the foreign princess who was breaking down in tears, his tone flat and without any fluctuation.

"Since you enjoy throwing trash on the streets of China so much, starting tomorrow morning at six o'clock, the busiest pedestrian street in Jinghai City, Jiefang Road, will be yours to sweep."

"Now, pick up the money on the ground. Get ready to go get your broom."

"On Chinese soil, no matter which country's princess you are, if you break the law, you have to work for me obediently."
