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

As night fell, three black SWAT vehicles, arranged in an arrow formation, silently tore through the bustling streets of Jinghai City.

The atmosphere inside the car was tense and somber.

Su Xiaoxiao had already set up high-definition live streaming equipment, and the drone camera was broadcasting the special investigation team's swift and decisive operation across the entire internet in real time. The number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded three million in just five minutes, and was still skyrocketing at an alarming rate.

"Captain Lu, we've arrived. St. Fino Noble Academy." Zhao Tiezhu gripped the steering wheel, looking at the magnificent, medieval-castle-like gate ahead, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"This isn't a school, it's a money pit."

Lu Jingyan remained silent, only staring coldly through the car window at the school gate, crafted from pure copper and adorned with intricate patterns. He could sense a distorted aura of "protagonist's halo," unique to this world, emanating continuously from it.

The "crime radar" was flashing wildly in his mind, and four glaring red dots were gathering on the playground in the center of the campus.

"Attention all units."

Lu Jingyan picked up the walkie-talkie, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable command: "The target is on the playground. Execute Plan A. Clear the area within five minutes. Remember, we are law enforcement, not negotiating."

"receive!"

With a low roar from Zhao Tiezhu, the three armored vehicles did not slow down at all and smashed open the half-closed door that symbolized wealth and privilege!

The heavy bronze door groaned in pain and collapsed to either side.

This scene was clearly transmitted to millions of viewers through the live broadcast.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly.

[Holy crap! They're ramming the door! Officer Lu's going to force his way in!]

[That was awesome! This is even more exciting than watching a Hollywood blockbuster!]

[What kind of prestigious academy is this? It's nothing but a paper tiger in the face of the state's violent machinery!]

The convoy sped along and came to a stop beside the central playground of the college with a screeching sound of brakes.

The car door opened, and a team of heavily armed special police officers in black combat uniforms filed out, their movements perfectly synchronized, instantly sealing off all exits.

In the center of the playground, the scene was so absurd it was laughable.

Four boys, dressed in custom-made school uniforms and sporting increasingly flamboyant hairstyles, sat swaggeringly on four ornately decorated chairs brought from the drama club, like four kings ascending to the throne. Around them stood a dozen or so bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses, exuding an imposing aura.

At their feet, a thin boy was curled up on the ground, his school uniform covered in footprints, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

These four people are the "myth" of St. Fino Academy, the legendary F4.

The one in the lead was named Long Zesi, the heir of the Long Group. When he saw the police car, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he slowly stood up, toying with a golf club in his hand, and gave Lu Jingyan an extremely contemptuous smile.

"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's just the police?"

His voice, amplified by the megaphone handed to him by his bodyguard, echoed across the entire playground: "What? Are you here to carry my shoes, or to be my caddie?"

His three henchmen behind him also burst into laughter.

"Young Master Si, this policeman is quite handsome. How about we have him stay and fetch the balls for us?"

"Haha, look at his clothes, they're not even as expensive as a pair of my shoes!"

The chat in the live stream was filled with extreme anger.

[Damn! This is outrageous! Are these bastards even students?]

[Officer Lu! Stop wasting time talking to them! Just arrest them!]

Lu Jingyan ignored the clamor.

He simply strode out of the darkness, his police boots clicking rhythmically on the rubber track. Each step felt like a tap on everyone's heartbeat.

Behind him, Zhao Tiezhu led a team of special police officers, following closely behind.

A bodyguard stepped forward, reaching out to stop him, arrogantly shouting, "Stop! Do you know who our Young Master Si is...?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Zhao Tiezhu made a move.

He moved like a cheetah, his figure flashing by. All the people heard was a crisp "crack," followed by a pig-like scream.

The bodyguard who reached out had his wrist twisted at an odd angle. He flew backward as if he had been hit by a train, knocking over three of his companions before collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud.

one move.

With just one move, the four professional bodyguards were instantly rendered incapable of fighting.

The entire room fell silent.

Ryuzawa's smile froze, and the golf club in his hand clattered to the ground.

His three henchmen were so frightened that they fell off their chairs, their faces ashen.

They then realized that what had come today was not their family's security company, but the real state's violent machinery!

Lu Jingyan walked straight up to Long Zesi and stopped. He was half a head taller than Long Zesi, and his condescending gaze was like that of someone looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

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

He pulled out his police ID and flashed it in front of Long Zesi, then his voice turned cold:

"Long Zesi, Li Ao, Zhang Kuang, and Zhao Ritian. The four of you are suspected of provoking trouble, engaging in gang fights, and intentional assault. I am now summoning you in accordance with the law."

"Take them all!"

At his command, Zhao Tiezhu led his team to pounce on the enemy like wolves and tigers.

"No! You can't arrest me!"

Long Zesi finally realized what was happening and screamed as he backed away, "My dad is the chairman of the Long Group! He's also a member of the school's board of directors! You dare touch me? I'll make sure you disappear from Jinghai tomorrow!"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he swung his fist, ready to punch Zhao Tiezhu, who was closest to him.

A hint of disdain flashed in Zhao Tiezhu's eyes. He reached out with his large, fan-like hand and grabbed Long Zesi's fist.

"Click!"

Another crisp cracking sound of bone breaking.

"Ah—!! My hand!"

Long Zesi let out a heart-wrenching scream, clutching his deformed fingers and rolling on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face. There was no trace of his previous arrogance left.

The other three school bullies were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they didn't even have the courage to resist. The special police officers tied their hands behind their backs and pinned them to the ground.

"Click, click, click, click."

Four pairs of silver bracelets, neatly arranged.

The entire process, from breaking down the door to the arrest, took no more than five minutes. It was swift, decisive, and utterly ruthless.

In the live stream, the chat had completely disappeared, replaced by a screen full of "666" and rocket effects, making the video look like a PowerPoint presentation.

Lu Jingyan walked over to the boy who had been hit, squatted down, and asked softly, "Classmate, can you still stand up?"

The boy looked up at the almost perfect face in front of him, and at the police uniform that represented justice. The pent-up grievances and fear exploded instantly, and he burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright now."

Lu Jingyan patted him on the shoulder, then said to the team members beside him, "Call an ambulance and take him to the hospital for a medical examination. All expenses will be borne by the suspect's family."

After dealing with all of this, he turned around and walked towards the four "F4" who had already been taken to the police car.

Long Zesi was still groaning on the ground, while the other three were shouting wildly.

"Let me go! Do you know who my dad is? My dad is Zhang Daqiang of Zhang's Real Estate!"

"My uncle works for the Education Bureau! If you dare arrest me, I'll make you regret it!"

Hearing these familiar lines, Lu Jingyan shook his head and walked up to Long Zesi, who was still shouting.

"Stop howling."

He crouched down, looking at the face contorted in pain, and said calmly, "It's just a fracture, you won't die. They'll set it for you when you get to the station."

"Lu Jingyan! I'll remember you!"

Long Zesi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with malice. "You just wait! As long as I don't get a prison sentence, my dad has plenty of ways to get me out! When that happens, I'll make sure your whole family is kneeling before me begging for my life!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyan was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled slightly, a smile that seemed particularly meaningful in the night.

"Who told you I was going to send you to a regular detention center?"
