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

The interrogation room was dimly lit.

The "top student" who was just shouting in the banquet hall is now sitting in the interrogation chair, his thick foundation washed away by tears, leaving two clear lines on his face, making him look disheveled and ridiculous.

Her name is Liu Qianqian, a girl from a small town who fantasizes about changing her fate through marriage.

She stared intently at Lu Jingyan across from her, her eyes now devoid of the previous greed and scheming, replaced only by a sense of resentment and anger at the collapse of her faith.

"You lied to us!"

Liu Qianqian's voice was shrill and piercing, like fingernails scraping against glass, "You're clearly a rich kid! You drive a Rolls-Royce, wear a multi-million dollar Richard Miller, what right do you have to arrest us? Aren't you just like us?"

In her distorted worldview, rich kids should hang out with socialites like her, indulging in a life of luxury and debauchery, instead of being like this man in front of her, dressed in a police uniform, taking them to the station.

This is betrayal!

It's a betrayal of their "circle"!

Are we the same kind of people?

Lu Jingyan leaned back in his chair, his long, slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a "tap-tap" sound. He looked at the stubborn girl in front of him, his eyes filled with not anger, but a deep pity.

"Liu Qianqian, it seems you're not only suspected of fraud, but also of delusions."

He picked up the list of evidence on the table, his voice as flat as if he were reading a dry report.

"First, about that Rolls-Royce Phantom."

Lu Jingyan pointed to a line on the list: "License plate number 京A·88888, original owner: Lu Zhenhua. However, because the vehicle has multiple outstanding speeding violations, it is currently impounded. I drove it out tonight on official business to test the vehicle's performance; this is called 'preliminary handling of seized property'."

Liu Qianqian was stunned.

The impounded vehicle?

"Secondly, regarding this watch."

Lu Jingyan raised his wrist, revealing the Richard Miller watch that dazzled the eyes under the light.

"Click".

A soft sound.

He casually untied the watch strap and tossed it onto the table like trash.

"High-quality replica, A-grade counterfeit."

Lu Jingyan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Made in Huaqiangbei, wholesale price 880, retail price 1200 on Taobao. I bought it to study the consumer psychology of people like you and your tools for committing crimes. Unexpectedly, it's quite effective."

"Fake...fake?"

Liu Qianqian stared wide-eyed at the luxury watch that had just captivated her, feeling her faith crumble once again.

The "high society" she painstakingly tried to integrate into through group buying and renting turned out to be... fake too?

"No...it's impossible..."

She shook her head frantically, as if trying to shake off the absurd thoughts in her mind. "And what about you? What about your identity? You can't be fake too, can you? You're the second young master of the Lu family! Everyone knows that!"

That's true.

Lu Jingyan nodded, his expression devoid of any pride, but rather carrying a hint of helplessness. "Unfortunately, my surname is indeed Lu."

"Then why...?"

As if grasping at a last straw, Liu Qianqian hysterically questioned, "Since you're also a rich second-generation, you could clearly enjoy life like us, indulging in a life of luxury! Why did you become a police officer? Why did you come to arrest us? Do you look down on us and want to marry into a wealthy family? Do you think that because we're poor, we don't deserve love?"

"First, I became a policeman because I think this uniform is cooler than Armani."

Lu Jingyan's answer was simple and blunt, yet irrefutable.

"Secondly, I'm arresting you not because you're poor, nor because you want to marry into a wealthy family. Wanting a good life isn't illegal."

He stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow that completely enveloped the still stubborn girl in front of him.

"I arrested you because you abandoned your dignity and trampled on the law in order to take shortcuts."

"You use lies to disguise yourselves, use vanity to build traps, treat feelings as transactions, and marriage as bargaining chips."

Lu Jingyan's voice suddenly turned cold, each word like an ice pick piercing Liu Qianqian's heart.

"This isn't about pursuing love; it's blatant fraud."

He walked to the interrogation chair, looking down at her with no trace of pity in his eyes.

"As for my identity..."

Lu Jingyan leaned down, brought his ear close, and whispered in a devilish voice, a voice only the two of them could hear, uttering the words that were enough to utterly break her:

"That's right, I'm a second-generation rich kid."

"But it's a pity."

"And me even more so..."

He paused, the curve of his lips cold and cruel.

"These are public servants who specifically target swindlers like you."

Liu Qianqian's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

She stared at the breathtakingly handsome face so close to her, her mind going completely blank.

original……

She was wrong from the very beginning.

She thought she was the hunter, but little did she know that she was the prey all along.

"take away."

Lu Jingyan straightened up, adjusted his collar, and turned to walk out.

"Pass the word, close the net. Bring all those 'guys' who were scammed here, take their statements, and make their reports."

He walked to the door, paused, and looked back at the girl who was limp and lifeless.

"By the way, prepare a few banners for them."

Lu Jingyan pushed up his glasses, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"I reckon it'll be quite a scene outside the police station tomorrow."
