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

Lu Jingyan stood in the center of the banquet hall, holding an untouched glass of champagne, instantly becoming the center of the storm.

Thirty-six meticulously dressed "white swans," flapping wings called "desire," surrounded him from all sides. The rich scent of perfume in the air mingled together, forming a near-suffocating chemical weapon that made him dizzy and lightheaded.

"Hey handsome, drinking alone is so boring, isn't it?"

A girl in a low-cut evening gown took the initiative. Holding a wine glass, she casually brushed past Lu Jingyan, then with a flick of her wrist, splashed half a glass of red wine precisely onto Lu Jingyan's expensive burgundy suit.

This is the first trick in the "Gold digger's guide": accidentally spill wine to create contact.

However, it was as if Lu Jingyan had eyes in the back of his head.

A split second before the wine spilled, he had already calmly turned to the side, not only perfectly dodging it but also casually pulling over a waiter's tray to block it.

"Splash—"

The red wine spilled all over the tray, but not a drop touched his clothes.

"oops!"

The girl let out a perfectly timed gasp, which she had practiced countless times, and her body instinctively leaned into Lu Jingyan's arms. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to..."

Lu Jingyan took another step back, letting the girl miss her target and almost fall face-first to the ground.

"If you are unsteady on your feet, I suggest you go to the hospital to have your vestibular function checked."

Lu Jingyan put down his wine glass, his tone flat and devoid of any pity, "Also, this glass of your 82 Lafite is fake. Real Lafite has a stronger tannin content, this one... tastes like it's been adulterated with saccharin."

The girl's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

[Ding! The skill "Universal Knowledge" has been activated.]

Before Lu Jingyan's eyes, the disguises of these so-called "socialites" were being peeled away layer by layer.

On the other side, a girl who takes an "intellectual" approach immediately changed her strategy upon seeing this.

"Young Master Lu, are you also interested in art?"

She gracefully walked to Lu Jingyan's side, pointed to a modern painting on the wall, and attempted to initiate a "soul exchange," saying, "I've recently been studying Picasso's Cubism. I wonder what Mr. Lu's thoughts are?"

Lu Jingyan glanced at the painting, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Picasso was a Cubist, that's true, but this painting is a copy of Monet's 'Water Lilies,' which belongs to Impressionism. And it's a print, even the ink is of poor quality."

"You call this art?"

The intellectual girl's smile froze on her face; she was so embarrassed she could have dug a three-bedroom apartment out of her skin with her toes.

Then, the third, the fourth...

A group of "white swans" took turns to perform, each displaying their unique abilities.

Some people talked to him about finance, only to be rendered speechless by his latest stock market candlestick charts.

Some people talked to him about luxury goods, and he immediately pointed out that the stitching on the bags was counterfeit.

There was even a bolder one who directly drugged his drink, only to have the man throw a glass of wine in his face and add, "Suspected of poisoning, your crime is compounded."

The entire banquet hall turned into a large-scale, one-sided "slap in the face" scene.

Lu Jingyan was like a PhD student who had wandered into a kindergarten. With his overwhelming knowledge and straightforward, clueless reactions, he crushed the confidence of these mass-produced "socialites."

Their carefully constructed facades and the tricks they relied on for survival were as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in front of this man.

Amy stood at a distance, watching this scene, her smile long gone.

She never imagined that the "top-tier rich husband" she had carefully selected would turn out to be such an incorrigible and stubborn person!

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

She stomped her feet in anger, "Did I teach you all for nothing? Thirty-six people, and you can't even handle one man?!"

Just as she was preparing to personally take the field and use her "masterful" skills to defeat this tough opponent.

Lu Jingyan made a move.

He put down his wine glass, straightened his collar which was not disheveled, and then said softly to the buttons on his cuffs.

The voice was very soft, but it was clearly transmitted through a miniature microphone to the command vehicle outside the banquet hall.

"That's about it."

"Come in, everyone."

Before he could finish speaking...

"boom--!"

The two heavy, gilded doors of the banquet hall were violently kicked open from the outside.

"Don't move! Police!"

"Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat down!"

Dozens of fully armed special police officers, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, rushed in instantly. The dark muzzles of their guns were pointed at the group of still-dazed "socialites" in the center of the dance floor.

Following closely behind were officers from the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, who skillfully flashed their badges and headed straight for the finance office in the back.

The screams instantly echoed through the sky.

The banquet hall, which was just moments ago filled with elegant ladies and extravagant atmosphere, instantly transformed into a large-scale arrest scene.

The girls wearing counterfeit dresses were terrified, their faces pale, and they ran away with their heads in their hands, their high heels falling off everywhere. The scene was more chaotic than a vegetable market.

"Police! Why are the police here?"

"What have we done wrong? We're just here for the dinner!"

Amy stared blankly at the sudden turn of events. She tried to run, but her legs felt like lead, and she couldn't move.

Lu Jingyan walked calmly through the chaotic crowd and went straight to her.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing his icy eyes.

"Sister Amy, right?"

Lu Jingyan laughed, a laugh that Amy found more terrifying than the devil.

"Your graduation banquet was well organized. It's just that the security was a bit lacking."

"Young Master Lu... Young Master Lu..."

Amy's voice trembled as she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "What...what do you mean? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstand?"

Lu Jingyan took out the familiar document holder from his pocket and opened it.

The silver police badge reflected the light of justice under the crystal chandelier.

Let me introduce myself.

"Jinghai City Public Security Bureau, Special Investigation Detachment, Lu Jingyan."

"Now, I suspect you of organizing and leading a fraud ring and instigating others to commit crimes. Please come with us."

Amy's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Just as Zhao Tiezhu stepped forward, preparing to handcuff her.

A figure suddenly rushed out from the side and grabbed Lu Jingyan's sleeve tightly.

It was the "top student" who got the worst beating earlier.

She is not reconciled!

She couldn't believe that this perfect man was a policeman!

"I don't believe you! You're lying to me!"

The girl cried uncontrollably, grabbing Lu Jingyan's arm and shaking it violently. "You're clearly a rich kid! Why did you arrest us? Do you think we're poor? Do you look down on us and want to marry into a wealthy family?"

Lu Jingyan frowned and shook off her hand.

"We're not arresting you because you're poor."

He looked at the girl whose values ​​had been completely distorted, his eyes filled not with anger, but with a deep sorrow.

"It's because your hearts are dirty."

"take away!"

……

As Amy and all the students were taken away in police cars, this absurd "socialite dinner" finally came to an end.

Lu Jingyan stood at the hotel entrance, watching the flashing police lights, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to get on the bus and leave the group.

The persistent "top student," just before being shoved into the police car, suddenly turned around and shouted at Lu Jingyan with all his might:

"What makes you so great?! You're just a rich second-generation heir, aren't you?!"

Lu Jingyan paused in his steps.

He turned around, looked at the girl who was still throwing a tantrum, and suddenly laughed.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and said into it:

"Zhao Tiezhu, take a statement from her separately."

"Let her understand a principle."

"I'm not just a rich kid."

"I'm still... a public servant who's only after you swindlers."
