A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

Lu Chenyuan understood that sentence.

It was as if an invisible blade, tempered with ice, had precisely pierced the softest spot in his heart.

A dull pain instantly spread throughout his body, causing his Adam's apple to bob violently and making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The discomfort in my chest grew increasingly intense, not like an ordinary flame, but like a wildfire engulfed in scalding lava, raging wildly through my veins, almost breaking free of the cage of reason.

What kind of lyrics are these?

Every word was like sandpaper, relentlessly grinding against his nerves, so grating that it made his fingertips go numb.

"I can walk ninety-nine steps to love you, or I can take one step back and give up..."

Su Wan, however, didn't care at all; she had completely let herself go.

Her body writhed even more wildly, and her smile grew even brighter.

It's as if all the grievances and resentments are melting away in this cheerful music.

"Any relationship requires maintenance from both parties; it simply cannot continue on one side alone..."

She gestured to the audience one by one, and even when she was singing the climax, she walked to the bar and high-fived those who were nearby.

That youthful energy is just like that of a star singer on stage, so dazzling that it's hard to look directly at them.

"I can walk ninety-nine steps to love you, or I can take one step back and give up..."

Midway through her song, she suddenly raised the microphone and shouted "Mic!" to the audience.

"I'm never going to be a simp again!"

"good!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Some people even whistled, and the atmosphere reached its peak.

"Well said! A girl like that doesn't need to be a simp!"

"Exactly! So beautiful, so vibrant, she deserves better!"

"Who is she licking? She must be blind!"

All eyes turned to Lu Chenyuan, who was standing at the entrance of the bar.

His eyes held a blind disdain, as if to say: How could you not cherish such a good girl!

Lu Chenyuan felt an unbearable pressure in his chest, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him, making it difficult to even breathe.

He had never experienced such complex emotions in his entire life.

Anger, resentment, panic, heartache, jealousy... all these emotions intertwined, like an impenetrable net, trapping him tightly.

He suddenly felt a strong urge to rush onto the stage, grab the woman who was singing and dancing wildly, cover her mouth, and make her never sing those "heartbreaking" songs again.

He didn't want to hear her sing "Take a step back and give up", didn't want to hear her shout "I'll never be a simp again", and didn't want to see her smile at others or interact enthusiastically with them.

Once this thought arises, it grows wildly like weeds, becoming uncontrollable.

Before the music ended, he took a step and walked towards the stage.

The air pressure around him was frighteningly low, and every step he took felt like stepping on everyone's hearts.

The sound engineer was the first to notice something was wrong.

When he saw Lu Chenyuan's face, which was so gloomy it seemed to drip water, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him.

The man's face was terrifying; it was so cold that it instilled fear in him.

He was terrified that this man might do something horrible to Su Wan—

He had just witnessed this man violently shoveling away a girl who had tried to flirt with him.

Just as the sound engineer was about to step forward, Lu Chenyuan suddenly turned his head and gave him a cold, sharp look.

Like a poisoned knife, it instantly froze the sound engineer in place, his hands and feet turning ice-cold, and he dared not move an inch.

Lu Chenyuan walked to the mixing console and unplugged the power cord.

"Buzz—"

The upbeat music stopped abruptly, and the bar fell into a deathly silence.

The people below the stage stopped cheering and looked at Lu Chenyuan with confusion.

"What are you doing? You're jumping around so enthusiastically!"

"Yeah, why did the music stop?"

"What does this policeman want to do?"

The murmurs gradually rose, but Lu Chenyuan paid no attention to them.

"What are you doing?!"

Someone couldn't help but complain, their tone filled with dissatisfaction.

Lu Chenyuan pulled out his police ID from his pocket and slammed it on the bar.

His icy gaze swept across the room, and his voice sounded like it came from an ice cellar.

"I am Lu Chenyuan, the captain of the city's criminal investigation team. It's so late, and you're all still fooling around here instead of going home. Should I send in the police for a raid?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, like a boulder crashing into everyone's heart.

The customers of these open-air bars are mostly local residents and office workers, and there is no illegal or disorderly conduct involved.

For some reason, looking at the tall, imposing, and stern-faced policeman in front of them, everyone felt a sense of fear.

Perhaps it was the fierce aura he exuded from years of dealing with criminals, perhaps it was the undisguised anger in his eyes, or perhaps it was the suffocatingly powerful presence he possessed.

The previously chattering crowd instantly fell silent.

They looked at each other, their faces showing hesitation.

"Never mind, let's go first."

"Yes, it's so late, we should go home."

"Let's go, let's go, don't cause trouble."

People began to stand up and grab their belongings, afraid that if they hesitated even a second, they would be targeted by this menacing-looking policeman.

The bar, which had been bustling just moments before, suddenly became deserted.

As the people in the bar gradually dispersed and their complaints faded into the distance, a few words clearly reached Lu Chenyuan's ears.

"Seriously, what a buzzkill, those damn cops."

"Forget it, it's almost dawn. Let's not drink anymore and go home."

"I was even planning to go up and add this beauty on WeChat, but honestly, she's already taken."

The last sentence, "She's already taken," was like a pebble thrown into Lu Chenyuan's lifeless heart, creating a tiny ripple.

He clenched his fists instinctively, a strange, secret sense of satisfaction flashing through his heart—

When they say "a beautiful flower is taken," do they mean that Su Wan's "owner" is him?

Once the thought arose, it quickly entwined his mind like vines, softening his tense face and even diminishing the fierce aura around him.

On stage, Su Wan still held the microphone, her smile frozen on her face.

His eyes held a hint of confusion, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the joyful atmosphere just now.

But a moment later, when she saw Lu Chenyuan's expressionless face, her confusion vanished instantly.

First, a wave of grievance washed over me—

She finally mustered up the courage to let go of herself, so why did he always have to interrupt her like this?

Immediately afterwards, the feeling of being wronged was replaced by anger.

The release of pleasure he had just felt hadn't even had a chance to fully spread throughout his body before it was abruptly cut off.

All the joy and relief were bottled up inside, burning like a raging fire.

She stared intently at Lu Chenyuan, the anger in her chest like ignited explosives.

The fuse hissed, ready to explode at any moment.

"What are you doing?!"

Finally, Su Wan abruptly threw down the microphone in her hand.

The microphone slammed onto the bar with a dull thud, breaking the deathly silence.
