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

At this moment, an unprecedented earthquake is taking place in the most elite "second-generation elites" community in Jinghai City.

In the past, this group was filled with the Versailles atmosphere of showing off sports cars, booking yachts, and complaining about which female celebrities were hard to pursue. But today, the group is as quiet as a graveyard that has just been swept clean.

The silence was broken by a system notification:

The group owner, "Gu Shao," has been removed from the group chat.

[Group member "婉婉类卿" has been removed from the group chat.]

Group member "傲雪凌霜" has left the group chat.

Then, things exploded.

"Holy crap! They really arrested him? Young Master Gu is really in jail?"

"Absolutely true! I just asked around, and it's said to be assaulting a police officer and causing a disturbance, resulting in criminal detention! Even bail is denied; it's a case personally suppressed by Lei Ting!"

"Has that Lu Jingyan gone mad? We're all in the same circle, we see each other all the time, is he trying to kill off his family line?"

"Stop talking! I just deleted all the racing videos from my WeChat Moments, and even removed the modified exhaust and replaced it with the stock one. It's terrifying. This guy doesn't recognize anyone now; whoever gets in his way is doomed!"

Panic spread like a virus. Those once arrogant young masters and ladies of Beijing's elite circles are now as docile as quails, terrified that any inconspicuous action they might take might attract the silver bracelet of that "beacon of the rule of law."

The atmosphere at the Lu family's old mansion, located at the center of the storm, was extremely eerie.

Lu Zhenhua, the business tycoon whose every move could shake the capital, was currently pacing back and forth in his luxurious living room in his pajamas, his pace so fast it was like he was racing.

He clutched the diamond-encrusted custom phone in his hand, raising it and putting it down repeatedly, his well-maintained old face contorted with worry as if he'd been constipated for a week.

"You are a traitor! You are simply a traitor!"

Lu Zhenhua finally couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his hand on the rosewood coffee table, making the teacups jump around. "Arresting the Gu family brat is one thing, he's an outsider! But he even dared to annul the Chen family's engagement? And then issue a parking ticket? He's trying to rub the Lu family's face on the ground!"

"No! I have to yell at him to wake him up! Make him come back right now and apologize to that person!"

As he spoke, his trembling fingers reached out to dial Lu Jingyan's number.

"Dad! Calm down! Don't hit him!"

Lu Mingze, the eldest brother who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly jumped up, grabbed his father's hand, and his expression was even more unpleasant than crying.

"Have you forgotten how Gu Yanchen got in? It was for attempted bribery! If you call him now and yell at him, what if he records it? What if he accuses you of 'obstructing justice' or 'inciting favoritism'? Your reputation will be ruined!"

Lu Zhenhua's hand froze in mid-air, his face turning deathly pale.

Yeah, that kid's spouting legal statutes all the time now, and he carries a body camera with him all the time; he's practically a human surveillance camera.

"Then...what do we do? Just let him go on like this?" Lu Zhenhua slumped onto the sofa, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant. "Our Lu family may be large and wealthy, but we can't afford this kind of investigation. What if he suddenly decides to come back and audit my taxes..."

At this point, the father and son exchanged a glance and simultaneously shivered.

Lu Mingze swallowed hard, forced a confident smile, and straightened his suit and tie.

"Dad, don't worry. An upright person has nothing to fear."

He puffed out his chest, looking every bit the gentleman. "I'm the president of the Lu Group. Obeying the law is my bottom line. My accounts are... no, my business operations are spotless. Even if he brought a microscope, he wouldn't find a single fault with me."

"Besides, I'm his own brother! As the saying goes, even if bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. He can't really arrest me, can he?"

Seeing his eldest son's confident expression, Lu Zhenhua felt a little more at ease.

"That's true. Mingze, you've always been steady, unlike that rebellious son. As long as you don't cause trouble, he can't really do anything to you."

Just then, Lu Jingyan was riding a police motorcycle on the winding mountain road on his way home.

The evening breeze blew by, but the system notification in his mind was clearer than the sound of the wind.

[Ding! Host's righteousness value has surged, triggering side quest: Cleanse the house.]

[Mission Description: Justice knows no boundaries. As a "Police God," you must not have any illegal or disorderly activities around you. Low-level commercial crimes have been detected within the Lu family. Please take immediate action.]

[Mission Reward: Skill "Business Crime Insight (Beginner)"]

Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow and a playful smile curved his lips.

"Clean house? Looks like someone in the family is being dishonest."

The motorcycle let out a deep roar and accelerated toward the villa area on the mountaintop.

Ten minutes later.

Lu Jingyan parked his motorcycle at the back gate of his villa. He didn't use the front gate, but habitually wanted to observe the surrounding environment—it was an occupational hazard, and also to give his family a "surprise".

Just as I rounded the garage, a furtive sound came from a corner of the garden.

"Quiet down! Everyone, be quiet! Don't let the old man hear!"

The voice sounds familiar.

Lu Jingyan tiptoed over, taking advantage of the darkness to walk silently past.

Behind the enormous Podocarpus macrophyllus tree in the garden, a black minivan was parked. Several bodyguards in black suits were squatting on the ground, holding gleaming daggers and awls.

And the one in charge of them was none other than the eldest brother, Lu Mingze, who had just been swearing that he was "completely innocent."

At this moment, Lu Mingze was completely devoid of the aloofness of a domineering CEO. He rolled up his sleeves, held a photograph in his hand, and was pointing at his bodyguards, gritting his teeth as he outlined his tactics:

"Look carefully! This is our competitor, Mr. Wang's, license plate number! Tonight, go to his garage and puncture all four tires! Make sure they're completely punctured! Make sure he can't make it to the bidding site tomorrow morning!"

"Remember, avoid the surveillance cameras! Stab and run! If you get caught, no one is allowed to mention me, understand?"

The bodyguards nodded vigorously: "Understood! Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we're experts at puncturing tires!"

Lu Mingze nodded in satisfaction, a look of triumphant satisfaction on his face: "Hmph, you dare to compete with me for land? I may not be able to do anything to you, but I can make sure you can't walk! That's the cruelty of business warfare!"

Is this what business warfare is all about?

Lu Jingyan, who was hiding in the shadows, almost burst out laughing.

Is this the legendary high-end business warfare? Slashing tires? This tactic is even more childish than a primary school fight. However, childish as it may be, it's a clear violation of the law.

He took out his body camera from his pocket, silently pressed the switch, straightened his collar, and slowly walked out of the darkness.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the gravel road was particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Hey bro, it's so late, are you having a team-building event here?"

The sudden greeting startled Lu Mingze, causing him to tremble and drop the photo from his hand. Several bodyguards instinctively hid their awls behind their backs, looking in alarm towards the source of the voice.

Under the moonlight, Lu Jingyan stood in his crisp police uniform, his cap badge gleaming with the light of justice in the night.

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at the tools of the crime scattered on the floor, and spoke in a gentle tone, as if he were having a casual conversation:

"Damaging tires? Intentionally damaging public or private property, it's not a serious crime, but it could easily get you detained for five days."

Lu Mingze stiffly turned his neck, looking at his younger brother who had appeared like a ghost. The expression on his face changed from fear to despair, finally freezing on a smile that was more like a grimace:

"Brother...brother? You...you're back? No, let me explain, I'm...I'm teaching them how to fix cars! Yes, fixing cars!"

Lu Jingyan bent down to pick up the awl from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and the sharp, cold glint of it reflected in his half-smiling eyes:

"Using an awl to repair cars? Dude, your car repair skills are quite unique."
