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

The automatic sensor door in the city police station lobby was stuck halfway due to the violent impact of the Porsche.

Lin Wan stumbled across the mess on the floor, her high heels clicking erratically on the tiles. Her once pure and beautiful face was now flushed with an eerie red from the alcohol, her hair clung messily to her cheeks, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.

This is the legendary "tears of a deity," which, if placed in any romance novel, would be enough to break the male protagonist's heart and soften the villain's heart.

Unfortunately, she encountered Lu Jingyan, who had just memorized the Criminal Law.

"Jingyan...how could you be so heartless?"

Lin Wan choked back tears, her voice so soft and sweet it seemed like it could be squeezed for water—her usual trump card, "I know you still blame me for choosing Brother Yanchen, but... but you can't just arrest him out of jealousy! Do you know how proud he is? He'd go crazy in that cold, lifeless room!"

As she sobbed, she lunged at Lu Jingyan like a startled fawn, trying to grab his sleeve or simply fall into his once incredibly broad and warm embrace.

The young police officers around had never seen anything like this before, and they were all dumbfounded, some even showing expressions of pity.

However, just a second before Lin Wan was about to touch that dark blue police uniform—

Lu Jingyan made a move.

Instead of opening his arms or offering gentle comfort, he quickly and precisely took a large step back, as if avoiding some highly pathogenic infectious agent, and casually pulled Xiao Zhang, who was dumbfounded beside him, in front of him as a shield.

"thump!"

The expected tender and fragrant beauty did not occur. Lin Wan tripped and fell flat on her face, bumping into Xiao Zhang's stiff tactical vest.

"vomit--"

The violent impact, coupled with the churning in her stomach, caused Lin Wan's face to turn pale, and she gagged.

A strong, pungent smell of red wine, mixed with expensive perfume, exploded in the poorly ventilated hall. The smell was more intoxicating than a biological weapon.

Lu Jingyan stood two meters away, waving his hand dismissively to dispel the smell, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

"Ms. Lin Wan, please watch your words."

He looked coldly at the woman who was supporting Xiao Zhang as he retched, his tone devoid of any sentimentality. "First, I arrested Gu Yanchen because he broke the law, not because I was jealous. Second, whether he's arrogant or not has nothing to do with me. Before the law, even a peacock that's displaying its feathers has to hide its tail."

"You..." Lin Wan straightened up, her head still spinning, tears welling in her eyes, her face full of disbelief. "You weren't like this before... You used to listen to me the most. If I said east, you would never dare to go west..."

"I was out of my mind before, but now I've gotten rid of it."

Lu Jingyan didn't want to waste words with her, so he took an orange-yellow device from his waist and pressed the switch.

"drop--"

The instrument starts up, and the red light flashes.

He handed the breathalyzer to a bewildered Xiao Zhang, gesturing with his chin, "Test her. This taste... anyone who didn't know better would think she was using Lafite as mouthwash."

Lin Wan stared at the lit tube, and her muddled mind finally realized something was wrong.

"What...what are you going to do?" She instinctively shrank back. "I'm here to rescue people, what right do you have to test me like this? I haven't broken any laws!"

"Not illegal?"

Lu Jingyan sneered and pointed to the red Porsche parked at the entrance, half of its hood perched on the steps. "That car at the entrance, wasn't it you? The screech of the brakes was loud enough to be heard halfway down the street. What, do you think drunk driving is some kind of privilege, or do you think there are no security cameras at the police station?"

"I...I was just too impatient!"

Lin Wan panicked, her eyes darting around, trying to cover her guilt with louder sobs. "Brother Yanchen was arrested, I was so flustered, I only drank a little bit...really just a little bit! I rushed here for love, how can you hold these rules against me!"

"For love?"

Lu Jingyan seemed to have heard the biggest joke of the year. He took a step forward, and the oppressive aura of a law enforcer instantly enveloped him, forcing Lin Wan to retreat repeatedly.

"Love is not a shield for breaking the law, and tears are not a license to evade responsibility. If you had veered even five centimeters off course just now, you wouldn't have hit the step, but a pedestrian. Would you then be willing to use your 'love' to pay for the death of the victim's family with your life?"

These words were powerful and resounding, like a heavy hammer blow to Lin Wan's heart.

The police officers who had been watching the commotion instantly turned serious, all traces of pity vanishing from their faces. Yes, drunk driving is more dangerous than a tiger; this woman was playing with other people's lives!

"blow!"

Lu Jingyan's sharp shout startled Lin Wan, making her tremble all over.

Under the watchful eyes of several stern-faced police officers, she trembled as she put the breathing tube into her mouth.

"call--"

The numbers on the instrument screen began to jump wildly, the red light flashed rapidly, and a piercing alarm sounded.

"Beep beep beep beep beep!"

Fixed value: 210mg/100ml.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

This isn't just drunk driving, it's practically a mobile alcohol bomb! With those numbers, he must have drunk at least a bottle of red wine, and yet he still dared to speed through the downtown area in a sports car?

Lu Jingyan stared at the bright red number, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Ms. Lin."

He put away the instrument and pulled out the familiar silver bracelet from his waist, his movements so practiced it was heartbreaking. "Your blood alcohol content is 210 milligrams per 100 milliliters, far exceeding the 80-milligram legal limit for drunk driving. You are suspected of dangerous driving and are now under criminal detention in accordance with the law."

"No! I don't believe it! How could it be that high!"

Lin Wan stared at the handcuffs and finally broke down. She screamed, waving her arms and trying to push away the approaching policewoman. "I'm the eldest daughter of the Lin family! I'm Gu Yanchen's fiancée! You can't arrest me! Lu Jingyan, this is revenge! This is personal vendetta!"

"Click."

No matter how much she struggled, the cold handcuffs mercilessly landed on her slender wrists.

The biting chill finally brought some clarity to her mind, which had been clouded by alcohol and arrogance. Looking at Lu Jingyan, the deep affection and sorrow in her eyes completely transformed into fear.

"Take him away, first go get a blood sample, then send him to the sobering-up room."

Lu Jingyan waved his hand expressionlessly, as if disposing of a bag of non-recyclable trash. "When she wakes up, she can keep Mr. Gu next door company. Didn't you say it was for love? Then talk about it together inside. Tears behind bars suit you two quite well."

Two policewomen stepped forward and, one on each side, lifted Lin Wan, whose legs were as weak as mud, and dragged her inside.

As he passed through the corridor, he happened to run into Lei Ting coming out with a teacup. The old detective glanced at Lin Wan, whose hair was disheveled and whose makeup was ruined from crying, then looked at the wrecked luxury car by the door, and couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

"Xiao Lu, you're incredibly efficient. You just caught the domineering CEO, and now your crush is practically throwing herself at you. Are you planning to meet our monthly quota in a single day?"

Lu Jingyan straightened his cuffs, which Lin Wan had crumpled, adjusted his glasses, and said in a flat tone, "There's nothing I can do, Captain Lei. These days, villains are of such low quality; they're not only ignorant of the law, but they also like to engage in wholesale dealing."

At this time, a large number of onlookers who had heard the news had gathered outside the glass wall at the entrance of the police station.

The noise from that Porsche rushing up the steps was too loud, and with the news of Gu Yanchen's arrest already spreading, the area in front of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is now more bustling than a vegetable market.

Countless mobile phone cameras were pointed at this scene in the hall.

Flashes of light went off one after another, and some people even set up live streaming tripods, excitedly providing commentary:

"Family members! What a scene! Isn't that Young Master Gu's rumored girlfriend? She was handcuffed by that super handsome police officer as soon as she got out of the car! Her blood pressure was over 200! She must have been drinking fake alcohol!"

"That's incredible! Who is this police officer? He took down two major scourges of Beijing's elite circles in just five minutes. I declare him my new male god!"

Lu Jingyan keenly sensed the commotion outside.

He turned his head, his gaze meeting the camera of an online celebrity who was live-streaming through the glass door. The celebrity was startled, her hand trembling as she nearly dropped her phone, but Lu Jingyan didn't stop her. Instead, she nodded slightly and gave a meaningful smile.

Xiao Zhang peeked over, glanced at the scene outside, and swallowed hard. "Brother Lu, are we... famous now?"

Lu Jingyan looked at the live stream chat that was flooded with messages, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"I don't know if it will be a hit, but I do know that the entire internet will be buying tickets to watch this next show."
