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

The air inside the command vehicle seemed to freeze instantly.

Faced with Minister Zhou's "classic undercover" plan, Lu Jingyan didn't hesitate for even half a second before decisively shaking his head. He reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out an undisguised sneer.

"Sir, please forgive my bluntness. I am a People's Police officer of China, not some Hollywood movie character who can have women on his left and right and save the world at the same time."

Lu Jingyan leaned back in his chair, his long fingers tapping on the table as he pointed at the monster leader on the screen, whose body was covered in bluish-black scales.

"As you just mentioned, this Khun Sa is a half-demon drug lord who can tear apart armored vehicles with his bare hands. He not only has a huge private army of mutants under his command, but also controls the entire drug production lifeline of the Golden Triangle."

"You want me to carry two suitcases of counterfeit money, wear a Rolex, and go deep into the Golden Triangle to negotiate a deal? To go undercover and gather evidence?"

Lu Jingyan's lips curled into a knowing, mocking smile.

"This isn't called infiltrating; this is called delivering takeout from afar. And it's the kind of high-quality takeout that's all-natural, pollution-free, and comes with a bonus of high-protein ingredients."

Minister Zhou on the other end of the video call was taken aback, and his originally serious expression suddenly turned into a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"How dare you talk to the commander like that! What do you suggest we do? They're based overseas, in an extremely complex terrain. They're not only protected by heavy firepower, but also have a natural barrier built by high-dimensional radiation."

Minister Zhou slammed his hand on the table, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"If we don't send someone infiltrate to obtain the exact coordinates of their core drug manufacturing plant, we simply can't carry out a precise cross-border strike! Are you going to take this small special investigation team and launch a full-scale assault?"

"A direct assault? That's too unskilled."

Lu Jingyan stood up, his deep black eyes flashing with an absolutely rational and cold light.

He silently communicated with the highest authority of the [Light of the Righteous Path - Warning God System] in his mind, directly activating the cross-level dispatch function of the ultimate trump card [Causality Weapon - Absolute Codex].

"Xiaoxiao, switch the frequency to the Southern Theater Command Joint Command Center. Use my S-level special access privileges to directly call the military's high-ranking coordinator."

Su Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, but quickly typed on the keyboard. As a string of complex encrypted code was entered, the image on the big screen instantly split in two.

On the right appeared a major general in a crisp military uniform with a stern face.

"I am Li Jianguo, Director of the Special Operations Coordination Bureau of the Southern Theater Command. Team Leader Lu, I've long admired your name. The Ministry of Public Security has already shared the 'dark web' data with us. What level of support do you require?"

General Li's voice was strong and clear, revealing the decisiveness characteristic of a soldier.

"Do you need us to send out one of our most elite SEAL-level infiltration teams? Or arrange for a few high-precision strategic snipers to provide long-range cover?"

Clearly, in the military's subconscious mind, special forces infiltration and assassination are routine operations for dealing with drug lords deep in the mountains.

"No, infiltration is too slow and inefficient."

Lu Jingyan placed his hands on the table, his imposing gaze piercing through the screen, and stated his needs word by word.

"I need the military to immediately allocate three of the latest Wing Loong-3 heavy armed drones, fully loaded with laser-guided thermobaric weapons and bunker-buster missiles."

The command vehicle fell into a deathly silence.

The tea egg that Zhao Tiezhu had just peeled fell to the ground with a "plop".

Qin Mingyue's hand, which was pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses, suddenly froze. She looked at her boss as if he were a madman.

General Li on the other end of the video gasped in shock, nearly snapping the tactical pen in his hand.

"Team Leader Lu... are you sure you're requesting police support, and not trying to start a localized war?"

General Li's eyebrows twitched violently, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Three heavily armed drones? And they're loaded with thermobaric weapons? Are we going to catch drug lords or plow the fields? Do you know what the absolute vacuum and high temperatures after a thermobaric bomb explode will cause?"

"Of course I know."

Lu Jingyan's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, but his words were colder than polar ice caps.

"Thermobaric bombs can instantly deplete the oxygen in a valley, generating temperatures of three thousand degrees. No matter what kind of half-demon scales or iron shirts they possess, in the face of modern combustion and explosion, not even a fraction of their ashes will remain."

He looked directly into General Li's shocked eyes, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"General Li, since the other side is a foreign armed separatist force and has seriously threatened our national security with high-dimensional drugs, then let's stop talking to them about infiltrating and gathering evidence."

"Evidence? The charred drug-making equipment in the ruins is the best evidence!"

Minister Zhou on the other side of the screen remained silent for a full half minute.

Finally, he took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Establish the nation, satisfy his demands! All diplomatic consequences will be borne jointly by the Ministry of Public Security and the war zone! As long as this cancer is eradicated, I'll accept any disciplinary action!"

"Yes, sir! The war zone will execute the order immediately!" General Li saluted, the video feed cut off, and he quickly arranged for the fighter jets to take off.

Two hours later, at a secret military airfield in the Southern Theater Command.

The massive Y-20 strategic transport aircraft was already roaring deafeningly on the runway. Gale-force winds whipped up dust from the tarmac, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of aviation fuel.

The fully armed special investigation team members have already lined up.

Zhao Tiezhu had two thick machine gun ammunition belts hanging from his body, and an exaggerated multi-barreled Gatling gun slung across his back. This outfit made him look exactly like a future Terminator as he walked down the street.

He excitedly patted his thick thighs and grinned at Su Xiaoxiao beside him.

"Hey girl, see that? This is what I call solving a case! Trying to reason with those martial arts masters and cultivation sect leaders before was so frustrating! This time in the Golden Triangle, I'm going to use this machine gun to give that half-demon drug lord a free haircut!"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes as she carried her heavy tactical computer backpack.

"Brother Tiezhu, you can save your breath. Once the boss's three drones have finished their ground-washing, you'll win if you can find even one intact scale."

Just then, Lu Jingyan, wearing a pair of black high-top tactical boots, strode towards the boarding gate.

He unusually took off his crisp police uniform and put on an all-black special operations suit. The tactical body armor clung tightly to his slender yet powerful physique.

"Boss, we've got news from the military. Three Wing Loong-3 helicopters have already taken off and are conducting radar-silent patrols at an altitude of 15,000 meters toward the heart of the Golden Triangle."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly caught up and loudly reported the latest developments.

"Our transport aircraft will land at a temporary field airfield 100 kilometers from the target area, where a friendly force will be responsible for receiving it."

"Well done." Lu Jingyan nodded slightly and opened the heavy cargo door of the transport plane.

Zhao Tiezhu followed closely behind, checking the bolt of the gun while asking questions.

"Boss, I'm just wondering. Back home, when you were dealing with those amazing fellow inmates, you knew the Criminal Law like the back of your hand. How come once you're abroad, your style suddenly changes and you become even more ruthless than a terrorist?"

Lu Jingyan stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head, his deep gaze piercing through the airport night, looking towards the distant southwestern border.

The blinding searchlights outside the cabin shone on his profile, outlining his cold, chiseled features.

"Tiezhu, remember this."

Lu Jingyan adjusted his tactical gloves, a chilling smile curving his lips.

"We use the law to deal with domestic criminals because they are our compatriots, and we must uphold procedural justice."

"However, dealing with these foreign terrorist drug lords who dare to extend their claws into China..."

He patted Zhao Tiezhu on the shoulder, his tone exuding the supreme authority bestowed by the Absolute Code.

"We don't need to talk to them about the criminal law."

"What we need is comprehensive firepower coverage and absolute physical exorcism."

"Everyone, board!"

At Lu Jingyan's command, he was the first to step into the dimly lit cabin.

With a tremendous roar, the military transport plane, carrying the fury of China, took off like a steel behemoth, heading straight for the heart of the Golden Triangle under the cover of night.

"Boss, I heard that the mosquitoes in the Golden Triangle have mutated to the size of a fist. Did we bring enough Six God mosquito repellent?" Zhao Tiezhu's gruff voice came from inside the cabin.
