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

When Lu Jingyan opened his eyes, it felt like a blender had been forcibly stuffed into his brain, causing him excruciating pain and dizziness.

My gaze was drawn to the extravagantly luxurious crystal chandelier, and beneath me lay the legendary custom-made soft bed where one could "wake up every day in a 500-square-meter mansion." The air was thick with the scent of expensive ambergris; every breath smelled of money.

But he had no time to enjoy it, because a memory that didn't belong to him was flooding his mind.

In just three seconds, Lu Jingyan's face turned ashen.

He crossed.

He transmigrated into a distorted world that was a fusion of countless old-fashioned domineering CEO novels, mindless short dramas, and novels about the return of the God of War.

Here, a domineering CEO can kill without breaking the law, all he needs to do is say "It's getting cold, the king is gone"; a school beauty hitting someone is considered fun, as long as you're good-looking, it's the truth; at the Dragon King's command, 100,000 retired soldiers can block the airport completely, but the traffic police turn a blind eye.

And he, Lu Jingyan, is the second young master of the Lu family, the richest family in Jinghai City.

She has a distinguished background, stunning good looks, and top-notch academic qualifications.

This person seems like a winner in life, but in this world, he's playing the role of a "vicious villain."

His existence is solely to serve as a stepping stone for those lowly dragon kings, X-ray vision bodyguards, and legendary healers descending from the mountains. Not only will his fiancée be stolen, but he will also end up with his family destroyed and destitute on the streets.

"What kind of international joke is this?"

Lu Jingyan rubbed his temples, sat up in bed, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

In his past life, he was a law professor who believed in logic and order. In this life, he's made to be a brainless villain controlled by a debunking aura.

dream.

Just then, the carved mahogany door to the bedroom was suddenly pushed open.

An elderly man in a tuxedo, with gray hair, stumbled in, his face full of anxiety, as if the sky were about to fall.

This is Uncle Fu, the Lu family's butler.

"Second Young Master! Something terrible has happened! Miss Gu... Miss Gu is really leaving!"

Uncle Fu rushed to the bedside, crying out in anguish, "She's downstairs making a scene, saying she wants to break up with you, that you're too controlling and it's suffocating her! You'd better go down and comfort her, or that security guard surnamed Ye will really take her away!"

Lu Jingyan felt a vein throb in his head as he heard those familiar lines.

Gu Qingqing, the "resilient innocent flower" heroine in the original book, was also the object of the original owner's lifelong simp.

According to the plot, today is the crucial moment when Gu Qingqing breaks up with Ye Fan, the Dragon King who has just returned to the country.

What would the original owner do?

Kneeling down to beg her to stay? Throwing money around like crazy? Or roaring "You're my woman" and then forcibly locking her up, only to have the Dragon King arrive and punch her in the head?

"Oh."

Lu Jingyan let out a soft, ambiguous laugh.

At that very moment, a cold, mechanical voice exploded deep within his mind.

[Host's awakening of self-awareness detected; Villain's Counterattack System is activating...]

[Faced with a scheming female lead's threat of breaking up, please make a choice, host:]

Option A: Beg her to stay. Kneel down and beg her not to leave, offering a 50 million breakup fee. Reward: Earn the title of "Top-Tier Simp," and in later storylines, have your legs broken by the Dragon King male lead, your family bankrupt, and die a tragic death.

[Option B: Refuse to be a villain, pass the civil service exam! No matter what kind of domineering CEO or tyrant, anyone who breaks the law will be arrested! Reward: Bound to the "Light of the Righteous Path - Police God System", and a newbie gift pack.]

Is there even a need to choose?

Anyone with a brain who isn't brainwashed knows how to choose.

In this illogical world, the only way out is not to see who has the bigger fist, but to represent the state apparatus and use the law to teach these legally illiterate people a lesson!

Lu Jingyan's eyes cleared instantly, and the trace of decadence and obsession that belonged to the original owner vanished completely.

He threw back the silk quilt, stepped barefoot onto the expensive carpet, and looked at Uncle Fu with an indifferent expression.

"Uncle Fu".

Just as Uncle Fu was preparing to see his young master weeping bitterly, he suddenly heard this cold voice and instinctively shivered.

"Young...Young Master? Would you like to prepare a checkbook? Or are you going to tie Miss Gu up?"

"Why are you tying me up? That's illegal detention."

Lu Jingyan walked to the French windows, pulled back the heavy curtains, and the dazzling sunlight instantly filled the room, dispelling all the gloom.

He turned around, straightened the collar of his robe, and spoke in a frighteningly calm tone.

"Go to the study and find me some books."

Uncle Fu's eyes lit up, thinking that his young master was finally going to arm himself with knowledge to woo girls: "Do you want 'The Thirty-Six Strategies of Love' or 'How to Win Back a Woman's Heart'? This old servant will go buy them right away!"

"No."

Lu Jingyan shook his head, his deep eyes gleaming with rationality.

He spoke clearly and deliberately, enunciating each word:

"Go buy me the latest 'Administrative Aptitude Test' and 'Essay Writing', as well as the complete set of 'Basic Knowledge of Public Security'."

"what?"

Uncle Fu's mouth dropped open, his jaw almost falling to the ground, and he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"What...what kind of test?"

"I want to take the civil service exam."

Lu Jingyan walked to the desk and sat down. He casually picked up a pen and twirled it between his fingers. His movements were fluid and graceful, exuding an unprecedented composure and domineering aura.

"Tell Gu Qingqing that she can leave if she wants, but don't wail downstairs. I'm not buying it."

"But young master..." Uncle Fu stamped his feet anxiously, "That's Miss Gu! You've loved her for three whole years, Miss Gu you'd give your life for! You really aren't going to pursue her?"

Lu Jingyan looked up, his eyes looking at someone with a mental disability.

"Pursue? According to my country's criminal law, long-term harassment of another person's life, if serious, may constitute the crime of provoking trouble. I am a law-abiding citizen and will not do such a degrading thing."

"Go buy the books quickly. Tomorrow is the deadline for provincial civil service exam registration. If you delay my success, can you afford to take the blame?"

Uncle Fu was completely bewildered by this series of technical terms.

Looking at his young master's cold, icy profile, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him had become incredibly unfamiliar, yet... damnably righteous.

Although he didn't understand what had triggered the young master's anger, Uncle Fu still dared not disobey and could only leave, turning back every few steps.

[Ding! Host has made a wise choice; the Righteous Path's Light of Warning System has been successfully bound!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the newbie gift pack: Passive Skill - "Absolute Rationality".]

[Skill Description: Immune to all "IQ-reducing auras" and "charm auras." When learning legal knowledge or solving cases, logical thinking is elevated to the peak of human ability, granting photographic memory and the ability to apply knowledge to new situations.]

As the system notification faded, Lu Jingyan felt a refreshing breeze flowing through the depths of his mind.

All those sticky, disgusting emotional remnants about Gu Qingqing were instantly washed away.

Instead, there is absolute calm and a clear logical framework.

Like a finely tuned computer, it instantly saw through the essence of this world—

All love and romance are just illusions.

Only a formal employment system can provide men with the ultimate in cosmetic surgery!

Half an hour later, Uncle Fu brought over a thick stack of review materials, his forehead covered in sweat.

Without saying a word, Lu Jingyan picked up the book and began to read.

If anyone else saw this scene, they would be shocked: the famous playboy second son of a wealthy family in Beijing was actually doing homework in his mansion, neglecting to eat or sleep!

He reads extremely fast; every page he glances at is instantly broken down into key points and logical chains, leaving a deep imprint on his mind.

Common sense judgment, verbal comprehension, logical reasoning...

Those tedious questions seemed to transform into weapons to strike at this mad world.

Time passed second by second.

The tranquility of the study was broken by another burst of noise from downstairs.

Lu Jingyan closed the mock exam paper for civil service exam and let out a long sigh.

This feeling is much more exhilarating than speeding in a sports car.

At that moment, the door was pushed open again.

Uncle Fu returned, and this time, his face was even more unpleasant, with a hint of panic and anger.

"Young Master! This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"

Lu Jingyan took off his gold-rimmed glasses, slowly wiped the lenses, and spoke calmly:

"What? She demolished the building?"

No, that's not it!

Uncle Fu was so angry his hands were trembling. He pointed downstairs and said:

"Miss Gu didn't come alone; she brought a lawyer! He's sitting in the living room, and he pulled out a list, saying you need to pay 50 million in compensation for lost youth!"

"Ms. Gu also said that if you don't pay today, she will go live and expose you, saying that you... saying that you are manipulating her and have violent tendencies towards her!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyan paused in his actions.

Fifty million?

Is it going to be exposed again?

Isn't this a classic case of extortion?

Perfect timing! I just finished reviewing the chapter on property crimes in the Criminal Law, and I was just looking for some real-world cases to practice with.

Lu Jingyan put his glasses back on, and behind the lenses, a cold glint flashed in his narrow phoenix eyes, like a hunter spotting his prey.

He stood up, straightened his perfectly wrinkle-free shirt cuffs, and strode toward the door.

As he passed by Uncle Fu, a graceful yet dangerous smile curved his lips.

"Bringing a lawyer to talk to me about money? That's interesting."

"Let's go, Uncle Fu. Since our guest is in such a hurry to deliver himself to his death, how can we not open the door and welcome him?"

Uncle Fu stared blankly at his young master's retreating figure, and subconsciously asked:

"Young master, are you planning to settle this privately with money?"

Lu Jingyan didn't stop walking, leaving without turning his head:

"Settle it privately? No, I'm going to send her to jail."
