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

"Examiner Lu... I really don't know what you're talking about..."

Sun Fei was trembling like a leaky sieve, his tears mixed with cold sweat blurring the black-rimmed glasses on his nose.

He stubbornly tried to hide under the table, attempting to fool everyone with his poor acting skills.

"I just had a sudden flare-up of acute keratitis! I swear I absolutely didn't cheat!"

"At this point, you're still trying to play these ghost stories with me?"

Lu Jingyan let out a mocking sneer and casually pulled a palm-sized black device from his tactical belt.

A soft "click" sounded.

Lu Jingyan pressed the switch, and a beam of high-frequency infrared detection light shone directly on Sun Fei's swollen right eye and the back of his neck.

The previously empty skin surface instantly revealed a tiny array of electronic circuits, flickering with eerie blue sparks.

A collective gasp of suppressed shock filled the examination room.

The surrounding examinees stared wide-eyed at Sun Fei's glowing nape, as if he were an alien.

"Holy crap! What kind of high-tech stealth device is this?!"

"Good heavens! I just saw him staring at the top student's test paper and rolling his eyes. I thought he was under so much pressure that he was possessed!"

Lu Jingyan's well-defined fingers gripped the detector, his eyes as cold as ice, making Sun Fei almost suffocate.

"Look carefully, this is not some bullshit system that falls from the sky."

"This is an illegal nanomechanical chip that has not been approved by the state."

Lu Jingyan stood up, looking down at Sun Fei who was lying on the ground, his words as sharp as knives.

Have you heard of Article 284 of the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China?

Sun Fei shook his head frantically, biting his lips until they turned white, not daring to say a word.

"Organizing cheating in national examinations as stipulated by law, or providing equipment or other assistance for cheating."

"A sentence of up to three years imprisonment or detention!"

"Those who commit serious offenses shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than three years but not more than seven years!"

With each word Lu Jingyan uttered, Sun Fei's face grew paler.

The authoritative "system notification" in his mind now seemed like a death knell.

"You not only illegally implanted prohibited electronic devices, but also attempted to steal top-secret national exam papers using such despicable means."

Lu Jingyan slowly put on his tactical gloves, his voice carrying an undeniable power of judgment.

"With multiple offenses, you'll never be able to erase this stain from your record for the rest of your life."

Sun Fei completely broke down.

His pitiful fantasy of being a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel was completely shattered. He clung tightly to Lu Jingyan's leg with both hands, crying his heart out.

"Officer Lu! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

"I took the exam three times but failed each time. My family was pressuring me so much; I desperately wanted this stable job!"

"Just ignore me and let me go! Please, give me a chance!"

"iron rice bowl?"

Lu Jingyan kicked Sun Fei's hand away, a hint of extreme disgust for such selfish behavior flashing in his deep eyes.

"You used illegal cheating methods to squeeze out someone else's spot after ten years of hard work and study."

"You climbed to your position by stepping on other people's hard work, and you call that a secure job?"

He turned to look at Zhao Tiezhu, who stood like an iron tower at the door, and gave a stern order.

"Tiezhu, handcuff him!"

"Immediately contact the accompanying military doctor and perform a chip removal surgery on him on the spot! Then take him back to the station to file a case!"

"Alright, boss!"

Zhao Tiezhu grinned excitedly, pulled out gleaming insulated handcuffs from his waist, and lifted Sun Fei up like an eagle snatching a chick.

"You want to be a test-taking genius, huh? I see you have amazing potential; you're a natural at solving problems!"

"Back at the station, I'll personally get you two hundred sets of past exam papers for the Administrative Aptitude Test and the Essay Test. Test you slowly in the interrogation room! No food if you fail!"

Sun Fei struggled desperately, but to no avail, and was dragged into the corridor like a dead dog.

Lu Jingyan adjusted the specially made examiner badge and announced Sun Fei's final fate to the entire examination room.

"You committed serious misconduct during a national-level examination and violated criminal law."

"Your personal information will be permanently recorded in the national credit file, and you will be permanently banned from taking any civil service or public institution examinations!"

As Sun Fei's pig-like screams gradually faded into the distance, a suppressed cheer erupted in the examination hall.

The students who had worked so hard to prepare for the exam looked at Lu Jingyan with eyes full of fervent admiration.

"quiet."

Lu Jingyan's imposing gaze swept across the entire room, instantly quelling the earlier commotion until you could hear a pin drop.

"Focus on answering the questions. With the special investigation team here, no one can steal your hard work. The exam continues."

With that, he turned and strode out of the classroom, his black tactical boots echoing steadily in the corridor.

As soon as he stepped out of the teaching building, the dazzling early summer sun shone on Lu Jingyan's shoulders.

Su Xiaoxiao, holding a tablet computer, greeted them with an extremely strange expression.

"Boss, we just took down the cheating system in this exam hall, and now we have another job."

"Moreover, this police incident is absolutely outrageous."

Lu Jingyan frowned slightly and reached out to open the door of the SUV.

"What? Which stupid system has robbed a bank again?"

Su Xiaoxiao's expression was indescribable. She pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and pointed to the alarm records flashing wildly on the screen.

"It's not robbing a bank, it's vying to be the groom!"

"The Shizhong District Civil Affairs Bureau just called with the highest level of assistance; the lobby is in complete chaos!"

"A slick-looking young man is leading five beautiful, wealthy women in haute couture wedding dresses."

"You insist on registering your marriage at the same time as someone else!"

Zhao Tiezhu had just shoved Sun Fei into the escort vehicle when he heard this and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

His thick neck turned stiffly, his face full of disbelief.

"What the heck? Marrying five at the same time? Does this kid think he's some ancient emperor choosing concubines, or does he really think he's Wei Xiaobao?!"

Su Xiaoxiao frantically tapped the screen, hacking directly into the Civil Affairs Bureau's internal monitoring system.

"This kid claims to be bound to some kind of 'Perfect Strategy System'!"

"What's most terrifying is that all five girls are daughters of prominent and wealthy families in Jinghai City!"

"The only daughter of the Zhang family's real estate business and the second daughter of the Li family's conglomerate are both in there!"

"Now they're like they've all been bewitched, their eyes are glazed over, and they're determined to marry no one but him."

Su Xiaoxiao zoomed in on the surveillance footage and pointed to the chaotic certificate processing hall.

"They even got into a fight at the document processing window, pulling each other's hair to be the first to get their documents stamped!"

As Lu Jingyan watched the smug Puxin Haiwang on the surveillance screen, the cold smile on his lips grew stronger.

He coldly observed the five young ladies who seemed to have lost their sense of self.

The [Group Judgment Domain] in my mind instantly provided the most accurate analysis results.

"Using inferior nanochips to release high-frequency hypnotic brainwaves to forcibly interfere with other people's subconscious."

"Attempting to marry through brainwashing in order to legally seize a huge amount of property under another person's name."

Lu Jingyan snorted coldly, a chilling murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"This scheme is so well-planned, I could hear it all over the provincial government compound."

He nimbly sat in the passenger seat, his well-defined knuckles pulling the bolt of the submachine gun.

"Click!"

The crisp metallic clanging echoed through the carriage, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"I want to see whether his strategy system is more powerful, or the iron fist of the Marriage Law and the crime of bigamy is stronger."

Zhao Tiezhu floored the accelerator, and the explosion-proof off-road vehicle roared out of the campus.

"Boss, should we just go over there and smash that kid's Aquaman aura?"

"Smash it? That's too easy on him."

Lu Jingyan stared coldly at the congested street ahead, a chilling glint of the rule of law flashing in his eyes.

"Using illegal means to control women, suspected of fraud and attempted bigamy."

"Not only will I smash his system, I'll also make him spend the rest of his life in the First Prison, slowly experiencing what a real harem is like."

Su Xiaoxiao was typing rapidly on the keyboard in the back seat, retrieving the contact information for the five families.

"Boss, should we notify the families of these five daughters first?"

"If these powerful families found out that their daughters were being manipulated by an ordinary guy, they would definitely hire an assassin to chop the guy up and feed him to their dogs."

"No need to notify."

Lu Jingyan's lips curled into a smile of anticipation as he lightly tapped the car window with his fingertips.

"Once I break his mental hypnosis with the Absolute Codex, these five young ladies will wake up on their own."

"A woman who has regained her senses can be far more terrifying than an assassin when she seeks revenge."

The sirens of the SUVs ripped through the sky once more.

Zhao Tiezhu jerked the steering wheel while excitedly shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Alright! Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now and give this playboy a top-quality silver bracelet as a wedding gift!"

"Daring to start a harem on the boss's turf, he's got a death wish!"

Lu Jingyan closed his eyes to rest, leaving behind only a cold conclusion.

"Monogamy is the bottom line of modern human civilization."

"Anyone who dares to cross the line, I'll show them just how painful the slap of the law can be."
