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

Inside the heavily armored escort vehicle, the once majestic Siberian tiger, Da Pang, was now huddled in a specially made titanium alloy cage, emitting mournful howls like a leaky bellows.

Its tail was still comically chained to its hind legs, which caused it to tug at the sensitive nerves in its hindquarters every time it tried to turn around.

"Officer Lu, I protest! This is blatant species discrimination!" The fat tiger, its claws gripping the bars of its cage, roared at Lu Jingyan outside the window, "I am the king of beasts! My ancestors once roamed the primeval forests! You can't lock me up like a thief stealing an electric scooter!"

Lu Jingyan stood by the car window, one hand in his pocket.

He held a freshly filled summons, still smelling of ink, and expressionlessly slipped it through the gap.

"Don't talk to me about species here. Under Chinese law, there is no difference between carbon-based and silicon-based life forms."

Lu Jingyan's voice was as cold as ice, exuding a despairing rationality.

"Based on the evidence collected at the scene, you are not only suspected of robbing public and private property, but also of openly releasing unidentified energy objects for intimidation. Keep this summons safe. The charges are: attempted unlawful bodily harm, plus intimidation of a state public official."

Big Fatty stared wide-eyed at the summons stuck to the tip of his nose, his beard trembling with rage.

"Spells! That's my awakened innate divine power! And you call that illegal bodily harm?"

"Any unregistered and lethal energy release is classified as a threat of the same level as illegal possession of controlled firearms in Jinghai City."

Lu Jingyan turned his head and looked at Zhao Tiezhu, who was carrying a tranquilizer gun and looking excited.

"Iron Pillar, send its danger level assessment to the detention center. Classify it as: a dangerous creature with high intelligence."

Zhao Tiezhu grinned and kissed the special tranquilizer gun, which was powerful enough to take down an elephant, chuckling to himself.

"Alright, boss! I've seen plenty of these 'sensible' beasts. A few more acupuncture treatments and they'll understand who's the master of this place."

Big Fatty stared at the 20-centimeter-long needle, his throat tightened with fear, and he swallowed the rest of his shouts.

"Team Leader Lu, what should we do with this tiger? Our detention center doesn't have a pit this big."

Special police captain Li Meng approached with some difficulty, looking at the enormous vehicle inside the escort truck.

"If we lock it in a regular cell, I'm afraid those domineering CEOs and dragon kings will become tiger snacks tomorrow."

Lu Jingyan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, falling into a brief moment of contemplation.

Releasing it directly back into the mountains is definitely not an option. This beast's mind is currently filled with fantasies about how to become the "King of All Demons." Releasing it would be an ecological bomb.

A moment later, a cunning glint flashed in Lu Jingyan's eyes.

"Wasn't the former site of that closed-down circus in the west of the city just reclaimed by the Civil Affairs Bureau a few days ago and converted into a temporary labor camp?"

Li Meng was taken aback, then nodded: "Yes, I originally intended to turn it into a stray dog ​​shelter."

"The place is large enough and the facilities are complete. Most importantly, there are ready-made reinforced concrete cages there."

Lu Jingyan buttoned up the top button of his police uniform, his tone revealing the sternness of the rule of law.

"Send it over there. Pass on my order to arrange a special 'ideological and political education' course for it."

"Education? Educating tigers?" Zhao Tiezhu's eyes widened, completely bewildered.

"Now that it has learned to speak like a human, it must be managed according to human rules."

Lu Jingyan turned his head and stared intently at the fat man in the cage.

"Starting tomorrow, this tiger must memorize twenty pages of the 'Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China' every day."

"We also need to focus on studying the 'Outline for the Implementation of Civic Morality Construction'."

"Give it a 'thought report' twice a day, morning and evening. If it can't memorize it or its attitude isn't right, cancel its extra meal. Only provide water and the cheapest cat food each day; don't even think about sausages or anything like that."

The fat tiger was struck dumb, and collapsed in its cage, letting out a long, desperate howl.

"Cat food? You actually fed the King of All Demons cat food! Kill me! I'd rather die than submit!"

"Unyielding?" Lu Jingyan sneered.

"I have plenty of physical means to make you submit. You can try and see if the spirit in your bones is harder, or if the legal education here is stronger."

Half an hour later, the escort vehicle roared to take the "Tiger King" to its new home—the circus labor camp.

Lu Jingyan, exhausted, returned to the provincial department's first command center.

He had just pushed open the office door and hadn't even had a sip of hot water when Su Xiaoxiao rushed over, holding her tablet computer and looking anxious.

"Boss! Stop resting! There's been another explosion in the west of the city!"

Lu Jingyan's temples throbbed, and he took a deep breath: "Which wild beast has ridden its bike into the street this time?"

"This time it's not a beast, it's a 'god'!"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly retrieved a set of surveillance footage from the nightclub entrance.

In the video, a woman wearing a sexy red cheongsam and with an extremely exaggerated figure is standing in front of a nightclub called "Never Sleeps".

She held a delicate feather fan in her hand, and nine ethereal pink tails swayed faintly in mid-air behind her.

"This guy claims to be the reincarnation of Su Daji and wants to build her 'Star-Picking Tower' in Jinghai City."

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the men in the surveillance footage, their eyes glazed over, frantically transferring money to the woman in a long line, her voice trembling.

"Boss, that woman is practically a walking biological weapon!"

"She only needs to glance at people, and they'll be mesmerized. Dozens of wealthy businessmen in the city have already transferred all their properties and savings to her!"

"The bank's anti-money laundering system has already alerted the police, stating it was an 'irregular gift.' But the victims are kneeling on the ground, stubbornly refusing to admit they've been scammed!"

Lu Jingyan stared at the woman on the screen who was covering her face and laughing softly, her eyes sparkling.

The pale golden light of absolute rationality in his eyes began to rotate at an unprecedented speed.

"A reincarnation of Su Daji?"

Lu Jingyan snorted coldly and picked up the high-frequency electromagnetic pulse gun on the table.

"Having revived their spiritual energy and mastered some charm magic, they dare to come here and engage in large-scale telecom fraud and mind control?"

Lu Jingyan strode out of the office, his tactical boots echoing menacingly in the corridor.

"Tiezhu, notify the armed police squadron to bring specially made anti-glare goggles and silent earplugs."

"Let's go and meet this nine-tailed fox."

"I'd like to see how many rounds her seductive magic can withstand the 'Public Security Administration Punishment Law'!"

Zhao Tiezhu excitedly followed behind, and with a click, pulled back the bolt of the tranquilizer gun.

"Boss! Should I prepare some extra-large condoms to gag her this time?"

"No need, just prepare a voice recorder."

Lu Jingyan walked into the elevator without looking back.

"Since she wants to play the 'Ghost' card, then I'll make her understand exactly how many years it takes to be charged with disseminating obscene content and major fraud."
